Just to add, my day is not contingent on what happens on XDA but thanks for your concern.

Thank you for your help. I was not refusing to do anything. I just needed a little more information before i could figure it out.

[Android Themes] azangerle:
Thats what i was doing initially, but apparently the theme i downloaded didnt have all the theme files. I found a nice template a few minutes ago and i got it working.
[Android Themes] marriedman624:
Congrats, and by the way, the theme look nice. Don't play Portal but it seems to be quite the craze.

Sorry if I came off harsh before. I'm looking at your slider and it came out quite nice. Good job. ;)

Remove sense clock

How can I remove the clock from a sense style based unlocker?

I tryed a trasparent style unlocker but I don't want the clock inside it... :confused:

and another question: does exist an inverse vertical unlocker from down to the top?

I have the pac man on but whenever I reboot my phone, widgetlocker disappears from my apps and my lockscreen returnes to the default.

[Android Themes] iTouch24:
u dont have it signed or in system/app folder ...
[Android Themes] juanaraya92679:
Tried it all

No matter what I do i can't get any my widgetlocker apk to work after I edit it. I've tried all methods and nothing works. Am I supposed to install the APK again after i've installed my original apk from the market? I swear i've done everything. Could someone give me some assistance? I've read most of the post here and nothing stated has helped. I get the application not installed error everytime I try and install my edited apk. I just want the simple iphone / sense mod. If it helps i'm trying this on a rooted samsung moment.
[Android Themes] tominabox1:
Ok guys, its not that hard. You have to sign the file before you install it again.

1: pull the apk from phone.

2: delete widgetlocker from your phone

3: unzip and modify the files on your computer

4: delete the meta_inf folder from the unzipped widgetlocker apk

5: compress the other files to a .zip

6: sign and rename .apk

7: adb install the signed apk

8: enjoy your modified WL

How to sign (on PC): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wjOCFS-pQc
[Android Themes] bazinga:
Yea I have it signed and everything.

It just randomly disappears when I reboot my phone.
[Android Themes] iTouch24:
it is said in this thread that if it disappears there might be more then one occurrence of the file on your phone... since the apk is signed u should be able to install just by clicking on the apk with a file manager once it is on your sd card.. dont have to push to phone ...

when u go to install does it say that it is overwriting a previous version or its a fresh install ?

dont feel bad i cant get it to work either
[Android Themes] ilangoadigal:
You don't need to ADB install or do metamorphs or anything. Uninstall your old version and install the modified apk like any other APK.
[Android Themes] juanaraya92679:
Last try and removed META INF before signing and it finally worked. Thanks for your patience with me. :)
[Android Themes] tominabox1:
Any time you unzip, you have to re-sign. follow the steps exactly and it will work.
[Android Themes] Ganii:
Currently ;)
[Android Themes] peniston:

Any chance you can send me this signed apk?? I purchased widgetlocker and can send you a copy of the reciept and things. I'm so @#%@%#$ frustrated with not being able to do it myself. I'm willing to donate for your work, too.

has anyone been able to sign a 1.2.8 version of WL?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Hi,

1. Can you attach the actual file or send it to me?

2. MIUI locks look like this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15060888&postcount=1702 (I'm showing you this because of how it's supposed to function not that it has to look like this) and do you know how they're supposed to operate?

3. What else do you want your lock to do other than unlock the phone and I'll let you know whether the MIUI lock is the one you should be making.
[Android Themes] opher50:
il attach but i ruined it abit .. now it wont show the knife at all...

I know i should use Sense because all i want is slide down to unlock .. but I need the On_touch option .. which i saw only in MIUI .. is it possible to add on touch to sense?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
But what I'm asking you is what are you trying to do and why do you want it to be on-touch?
[Android Themes] opher50:
Oh ok .. you see in my signature theres the rightest screen? its the lock screen with sense ... I want the knife to slide down to unlock thes creen.. in sense its perfect .. now I wanted to make it cooler and add an effect while touching and sliding .. like in the pictures where the knife has a little white trail .. like Fruit Ninja's cut ... thats what im looking for .. on touch for effects .. but only Miui has on touch
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I'm going to send you a PM so I can explain something.
[Android Themes] opher50:
Alright ... waiting for it..
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Long press on the lock (if it's placed on your screen already) and click the little icon in the upper right hand corner or Add (as if you were trying to add a lock theme) > Uncheck "Show Clock".

As far as your other question, the locks are not normally supposed to function like that but I think if you play around with the Settings>Look&Feel>Layout, you may be able to do it but I'm not sure.
[Android Themes] alexronny:
thank you! I had an old version of widgetlocker, this is the reason why I could not find the clock option :p
[Android Themes] thinkhope:
Forgive me if this has already been asked and answered, but are there any tap to unlock themes that don't require sliding? Any help would be much appreciated.

You do this in the same place where you would choose your theme.
[Android Themes] Little Dragon:
my WL keeps unlocking with the Back button. i've disabled it in the options (even setting it to unlock when held for a few seconds) but it still unlocks instantly. annoying.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
So you're saying you unchecked the "Back Button Unlock" in WL Settings > Buttons & Inputs?
[Android Themes] Little Dragon:
yep. even re-checked and unchecked again..
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Is Easy Wake Mode checked? If so, uncheck it. That's also in "Buttons & Inputs".

Worst case scenerio is that you can either clear cache or uninstall and reinstall and that's just so you can clear any user options that may have triggered that occurrence.
[Android Themes] almanbrother:
I hope someone can help me.

I'm busy to create my own theme. I have a png 100x100px only to slide down.

But I can't get it on the bottom of the lockscreen. It say it doesn't fit, there is not enough space and I have to use 4x1 and then thge png is placed about 75px from the bottomline and it is very little. Only when I place the png higher then it gets the right size.

When I long-press the icon it gives a large box and so you can see, the png is much to high.

When I make the select-box smaller the icon gets smaller and that's not what I want.

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Try changing your grid size in settings:

WL Settings > Look and Feel> Layout

Make it something like 3x4.
[Android Themes] almanbrother:
I've tried many grid-settings, but none of theme solved the problem.

Thanks anyway!
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Please attach your file so I can see if it's a file problem. That would be kinda helpful in trying to narrow down the problem....that's if you want.

Just posting that pic leaves me with no other solution than the one I gave you. :rolleyes:
[Android Themes] almanbrother:
This is the last format I've tried.

I tried with 152px high, with and without black pixel, 480 width and smaller.

So I hope you can help me!

Thanks in advance

ps.

I had to work this afternoon and evening so I could not reply earlier.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Do you have the zip file?
[Android Themes] almanbrother:
Here it is.
[Android Themes] marriedman624:
Not sure, but is that what you are looking for (excuse the other stuff). Seems to work for me.

One question, do you have the anchor on and it's set to one row? Maybe that's why it won't fit down in the last row.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I'm going to have to cosign with marriedman624, it looks fine to me. My grid size is 3x4. What I would suggest though is moving the actual image to the top so that you can have more of a slide down action unless you're wanting it that low?
[Android Themes] alexronny:
It's possible to have the same transition effect from lockscreen to homescreeen like the sense effect?
[Android Themes] almanbrother:
Thanks very much, it works. And I agree, Vanessaem, it must be placed at the top. But it isn't ready yet, WIP.

But I'm glad it's solved now.

Theres an option under Settings -> Built-in-Widgets -> Always show battery %.

Is there a way to not have the alarm show too but only the battery %?

Also any way of changing text color?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Not that I'm aware of.

I don't know, when I long press on the screen and the click on Widgets, then choose Charging & Alarm, all I see is the battery percentage. I don't see an alarm.

No.
[Android Themes] porkchop8:
reason you dont see alarm is you dont have a alarm set. If you select alarm, it will show up.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Ok so you answered your own question. If you don't select the alarm, it won't show. :)

hi guys, I'm using samsung galaxy s2 at the moment, widgetlocker is a wonderful lock screen app, but everytime i reboot my phone, widgetlock requires me to unlock twice to see the home screen, i found once i reboot, the first unlock screen is the tool mode(with menu button activate), unlock this screen, the second time unlock screen is the real unlock screen(with no button activate). i want 2 skip the first tool mode screen once i reboot, anyone can tell me how 2 do that?

[Android Themes] solarus2011:
I had the same problem, but I am on CM7. Does Oxygen have a similar settings page to CM7 by chance. I fixed my issue on CM7 by going into "Cyanogen Settings > Lockscreen > Widget Options" and unchecking "Lockscreen music controls". Haven't had the issue since.
[Android Themes] Taine0:
Does anyone know if it's possible for widgetlocker to display the wallpaper underneathe the status bar (so for transparent gingerbread status bars it doesn't show the homescreen wallpaper in the status bar instead of the widgetlocker one) It's really annoying that it doens't stretch the images out to support transparent status bars.
[Android Themes] brainmaster:

WL: Settings > Advanced > Disable Stock Lock Screen

The stock lock will come on temporarily after a reboot but will load the WL sliders once your phone is fully or partially booted up.
[Android Themes] polstein:
Attached is a picture of the Samsung Galaxy S2. I'm interesting in seeing if there is a way to duplicate the upper part of the screen (weather w/something like Beautiful Widgets, rotating picture w/something like Photo Gallery Widget, agenda box)..?

The part I kind of like is the small amount of spacing between the boxes & the uniform look.

Only thing I can think of & will look into is see how the Launcher7 type people are doing - but I think those are home screen replacements & not widgets.

With WL the display turns on every 5 Minutes!

Hello,

i ve Froyo on my Defy with Fullwipe after upgrade from Eclair to Froyo. The Original Lockscreen is disabled with No Lock. But under the normal Locker i havent that Problem. Only with WL activated.

My Problem is: If i turned Widgetlocker on, every 5 minutes, my display turns on and i can see the WL Lockscreen. After the definied Time the Dsiplay turns off. How can i fix this, that the display didnt turns on every 5 mins? Thats bad.

For testing i switched off every Widget using Data, turns off APN, WLAN, but after 5 Minutes, the same...

Thanks for help.

I still don't have a full understanding of what's going on but perhaps you can uninstall WL, clear your system's caches then reinstall WL and see if that helps.

[Android Themes] eksajlee:
Like I mentioned - it doesn't work.. I tried xx wallpapers and nothing really change. I'm not sure what made that bug, but maybe is reinstalled WidgetLocker via Titanium Backup. I know that before WL created .png thumbnail from selected wallpaper but didn't found it now ;/
[Android Themes] KatieGriffin:
I'm sorry I'm not very good at this could you try telling me another way?

Your help is much appreciate :D
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
There is no other way. All you're doing is making one folder into another.

Files > (Inside) Your theme name folder ex. unlockiphone > (Inside) Your theme ex.unlockiphone.wltheme > Zip it

I don't know how else to explain it.

Or why don't you just download someone's theme and see how they set up their files?

Ive been using widget locker since yesterday. I turn my phone off at night to charge it. When I turned it on today I noticed that the sense lock screen was back until the phone had time to boot up. Is there a way around this so it doesnt bring up the sense lock screen and just jumps right to WidgetLockers screen?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
No...WidgetLocker needs time to load just like the rest of your apps on boot up.

Will someone be able to point me in the right direction if i'm looking to add more widgets itself to the widgetlocker lock screen?

Themes look great but i"m happy with default looks, I just want a clickable button that toggles vibrate/sound rather than the slider that comes and also something to add that shows unread texts, missed calls and emails.

I see from some of the custom themes in the orginal post that they showed this but I wasn't sure if it was a widget you had to go find or if you had to get the theme itself?

Thanks
[Android Themes] marriedman624:
Just add a widget to the lock screen to do that (make sure you have interactions turned on).

So, the basic idea is that I'm trying to make a slider that says "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good". I'm trying for a Marauder's map theme. I'm trying to make a slider that is theme appropriate but I'm having a tough time. I tried to use just text for the slider, but it was incredibly small. How can I make a normal sized slider of just text? If it's relevant at all, I'm using the font Neimeyer from dafont.
[Android Themes] marriedman624:
Post the files you got and we can take a look at it.

It may be to small because your trying to fit it all on one line. That's a lot of words to put across the screen.

Just drag and drop in the trahs icon, on your home screen that locked.

Trying to work my way through this thread but it's soooooo long :)

I also searched but haven't come across an answer yet.

The widgets aren't updating for me. Like for instance my clock will always show the time that it was when I booted up my phone. My MissedIt! widget isn't showing anything. I've used widgetlocker for quite some time now and this is the first time it's happened to me. I've rebooted many times with no luck, also tried to wipe cache but there is none to wipe. Also fixed permissions.

Any ideas?
[Android Themes] sundancer23:
I noticed that the default lock screen would time out after 5 seconds. However with Widgetlocker, the screen would time out after 30 seconds (when locked!), just like when it's unlocked.

By using the custom timeout function, i can only set it to 10 seconds, not 5 though. Is this normal? How can i set it to 5 seconds?
