Not at all - noticed it the first time I tried my hand at making a slider. The app designer discusses the issue briefly on the first post.
[Android Themes] ohmyhead:
Hidden Notification Bar Not So Hidden

^^ *waves at Melissa* ^^

On some, not all, lockscreens, my hidden notification bar (set to be so in WL settings) comes down, or a blank ghost one anyway, comes down, pushing the wallpaper and everything else down exactly the height of the notification bar. Sometimes it appears for a moment and then goes back up. Sometimes, it comes down, and stays down. Touching the Menu button pushes everything back up again. The problem occurs when coming out of the WL settings menu, or going into Tool mode via the notification icon or by pressing my assigned button to enter tool mode.

I'm using a DInc running 2.2, non-rooted, running LauncherProPlus. LPP notification bar is not set to hidden. My wallpaper is 480x800 as always. Columns/Rows are set to 12x12 at the moment.

Not an emergency by any means, just a bit annoying. I hesitate to include a screenshot as tonight's layout could be considered...unsettling to some. :D But for the sake of troubleshooting, I must!

Thank you in advance for any assistance.
[Android Themes] Molitro:
I can't seem to find anything about this though I'm pretty sure someone have talked about it. But, well...

Basically, widgetlocker kills any running app when it comes to action. So if the screen goes off, automatically the app resets, which is massively annoying (sometimes it even kills the launcher, which is just plain unacceptable).

Are there any settings or ways to avoid this? I've been trying different options, but none seems to work.
[Android Themes] Step666:
I have seen the info in the first post about it, yeah - I even quoted it when I first asked about my problem.

But it doesn't really offer up any sort of solution, certainly not for sliders other than the iPhone style.

If this is a common issue, how come no-one seems to know how to sort it?
[Android Themes] starrlamia:
I still have no idea what happened but I downloaded and cleared the cache and it works again.
[Android Themes] dysfunction:
not to worry found it
[Android Themes] melissapugs:
Heya bud: the feature is intended for another purpose, but try using the easy wake mode under buttons and inputs - I had similar issue with widgetlocker and the not bar being all freezy, and this fixed it :)

I hear your woes, I really do. I have downloaded a few iphone-layout sliders that don't seem to have this prob (the University of Arizona one if I recall) and if you download that one, you will definitely see the black dots upper center on a light background, but I'll be, it doesn't stetch out like some others. The dots on that particular slider are actually v shaped and at least 3 pixels wide - a fix, even if it is atrocious on some setups. Hopefully someone else here will have some guidance or updates as they become available, so really this is just a bump :)sorry I couldn't be of real help.
[Android Themes] Step666:
I e-mailed Kevin about it and he said that part of the problem is the whole mdpi/hdpi thing but even when I edited my slider to take that into account, it was still the wrong size... :confused:

I guess I just need to wait for the updates he's got in the pipeline.
[Android Themes] melissapugs:
Muy interestante indeed. So which way does it go on the image size and hdpi/mdpi? Would love some zizes/ideas to play with so I can see if I can make my own sliders at last
[Android Themes] sandfreak:
I seem to be having a problem and I was wondering if anybody else experienced this or knows how to fix it.

Widgetlocker seems to be conflicting with my bobclock widget on my home screen. If I don't use widgetlocker, bobclock refreshes fine. But if I use widgetlocker, the bobclock freezes and wont refresh.

Any tips?

Need a little help here, I downloaded the themes and added customer sliders, but how do i remove the original 4 default sliders? the unlock, sound, camera and auto brightness?

I have tried going to Tool Mode, long press but im not able to do anything to them,

and stock lock screen is also disabled.
[Android Themes] sandfreak:
i always have to hit the back button first then they are able to be moved
[Android Themes] celyst:
Hi guys,

I have the same problem as described above. I have not found a way where I can use the WidgetLocker unlock + stock lock pattern. After unlocking WidgetLocker, the lock pattern flashes for a moment before being replaced by the stock slider.

I have tried going to Advanced > Root Helper and setting the Autoswipe, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using a Desire HD on ARHD 6.1.0.

[Android Themes] evoliphant:
I have an HTC EVO with this program on it and I made a custom wallpaper for it using 480x800. That is the resolution for the splash screen so I just assumed it would be the same. Unfortunately it's making me crop it when I try to load it up so I know my resolution must be incorrect. What resolution should I be using OR what am I doing wrong? TIA!
[Android Themes] Step666:
Which Evo and how are you selecting the wallpaper?
[Android Themes] evoliphant:
HTC EVO 4G supersonic. I'm going into the custom wallpaper setting and its making me crop it. Makes me cut off the image which looks terrible.
[Android Themes] melissapugs:
Not using your device, but I had a similar prob once. Use the image as part of a full size paper for your device (960x800) and crop to full height from that image. One of my phones would not let me use a 'single' frame paper for WL, but would accurately show it if it was centered on a 960.800 canvas. Hope this helps.
[Android Themes] Step666:
It's a known glitch with WidgetLocker's wallpaper selection/crop function.

To get WL to properly use the image, follow these instructions:
[Android Themes] evoliphant:
Perfect! Thanks given!.
[Android Themes] kaimie:
Is there a widget that shows whos calling on the lock screen? Like in the default lock screen it'll show the name, number, and picture (if its a person in your contacts and has a picture)?

Right now, I either have to unlock my phone to see whos calling, or uncheck Hide Incoming call (Don't want to do that cus I don't want to hit the answer button by accident while pulling my phone out)

I don't know if this has already been asked or not so sorry if this a repeat question.
[Android Themes] melissapugs:
I love this app, but the sliders just kill me lol

1. I set up a standard unlock slider for iphone or android style, and the preview shows an unlock symbol (the default for the action) I even double check this. But back on the screen its an X instead. :confused:

2. The job files for the android style often have email icons, which I suppose could be applied individually...but on the widgetlocker default actions, there is no email option. I want updates for gmail app - which are working on my new phone - but I find myself having to put apply an icon that looks stretched instead of being able to use the email slider that comes with many of the themes I like.

I have circumvented this problem previously by using a transparent slider, but I would really love to figure this out. TIA
[Android Themes] jujuburi:
Hi, never seen this thread! Anyway, it's a lovely one.

This is my wish about WL in future,

I badly want a Theme which will allow Sense 3.0 Sensation type lock screen (Like Agile Lock, a ring you have to pull above). I had to use Agile Lock for that but it has it's own bugs.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] Nyssa1104:
There was a theme based on this I'll try and fine it for you.
[Android Themes] jujuburi:
:eek:

I've been told that there is NO Sensation type theme available! If you could find me then I wish I could hit 10 thanks button at a time :)
[Android Themes] budi5555:
i put my themes in sdcard/data/com.widgetlocker.teslacoilsw/themes.zip... what is the next step?

in widgetlocker menu-add-custom slider-->my themes, the slider double.. if i add again, i got triple slider.. where is my fault?
[Android Themes] phoenixs4r:
There's a theme that has the ring only Rand it only goes up, nit all around. Supposedly Kevin@teslacoil is making a style like that in a new version.

Agilelock is your best bet till then.
[Android Themes] BriEE:
Yeah signing pretty much works for everything
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I'm gonna sign a couple today.

Something like, one with the Typophone and Sense slider.

And then another with Pacman and whatever.
[Android Themes] alvinjue:
same here! grrrrr i have tried every single method and failed to get it to work with WL. root explorer didnt work since it couldnt copy anything to the .apk file and i tried abd but that didnt do anything but mess up all my widgets on my homescreen. i would use the apk manager but for some reason it keeps telling me abd is not found when i open up the script.

i will definitely donate to you if you could make the signed one for the pac-man :]
[Android Themes] felix1318:
my widgetlocker file is com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-2.apk, will it be the same as com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk?
[Android Themes] felix1318:
opps, i went in the wrong folder, sorry~ i did it, thx!
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
It doesn't matter if it can't find ADB. You haven't put APKManager in your SDK folder because you don't need to. Why would you need adb either way?

Just press a button and you go further into the script. It's just that easy.

If you still can't figure it out I'm gonna have a couple of new signed ones later today. I just need to get off work.

If com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk is installed your .apk ( com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-2) won't replace it. So just rename it to -1

[Android Themes] jujuburi:
I used Agile but frankly it's buggy if you set a different lock screen wall rather than home screen wall. Also it creates a separate wallpaper of very low quality and sets it. I don't like it that way.

There are so so many themes for WL, why this most popular theme isn't there? God knows!

[Android Themes] micktee:
Firstly apologies if this has been asked but I'm currently viewing on my phone and its a bit difficult to go through 300+ pages.

Is there a way to set a delay when the lockscreen would show after the screen being turned off / timing out?

I am currently on gingervillain 2.8 (not sure if this matters) and I had set the lockscreen to show after 10 seconds if screen turned off and after 1 minute if screen timed out. Is there anyway to set WL up like this, i have tried all the settings but to no avail.

Thanks

Where can I find this theme!?

Just started using Widget Locker and I really like it! I really like the look of this theme and for the life of me, I cannot find it! Any suggestions?

This, I think is based on the new "Android Central" logo.

Thanks for the help!

[Android Themes] marriedman624:
1) The sliders are just default ones that come with WL:

Top -> Android

Bottom-> Moto

2) The android fellow, is a custom background, click here for original.

3) The clock appears to be mclock, but not positive.

The themes for WL, are mostly just the sliders. However, some people will include the wallpaper they used inside the zip file

Read the FAQ about the Samsung Galaxy S2 homebutton, and did what it said, but isn't there anything else that can be done about the "issue"? Because even though a single press on the home button now doesn't unlock the screen anymore, i can double press home and open the voice command app, and click home again, and then am back on my homescreen, bypassed the lockscreen. Would like to only be able to bypass the lockscreen by the sliders on the screen... Is this possible with the Galaxy S2 atm?

Hey Fellas,

Real quick question: All these awesome themes that everyone created for widget locker, how would one put one to use? I have looked on the widget locker site and i've skimmed through the first few pages of the Widget Locker threads, here on XDA and no luck finding instructions on this topic. I have had widget locker for some time and have decided to just now put her to use. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Cancel that!

Go to "settings", then scroll down to "advanced". then open "Homehelper" and make sure you check off "homehelper Block Home"..

When I did this the lock screen dosen't open via pressing the home button.. :D

Open WL via your program meny like a normal app. If you hit the menu button you should get a "setting" choice..

Custom Slider Icon BG

So I'm trying to use the Simple Text app to create a couple text only sliders for my unlock screen. I downloaded the Chromeless theme which was really cool because it was just text with a transparent background. Now when I use Simple Text to make my own text and add it as a custom icon.. it automatically adds a black square background. I have already made sure that the actual object I created had a transparent background. I feel like it's something that widget locket is automatically doing (adding the black background). But I know it can be done since the Chromeless's theme icon had no background. Any suggestions other than the obvious... just have a black wallpaper to blend..

Question about WL w/ CM7

I'm running CM7 (Droid X GB Version) and WidgetLocker (from the Amazon promo).

The WL unlock screen is shown upon waking the device. No matter how short the screen has been off. I'd like WL to show up if the screen has been off for 20 minutes.

I try setting the timeout in CM7 settings as well as WL settings (although it only goes up to 5 minutes) but it doesn't seem to change.

How do I get this to work?

HTC HD2: The call end key unlocks it ????

Hi

I have a rooted HTC HD2 running SD Android. This app works well and the only problem is that the End Key (Key to reject phone calls) unlocks the screen and is back in home screen. This defeats the whole purpose of an unlocker!

Anyway to diable it and force unlock via only slider. I tried with all settings but no joy.

When you are on the screen to add a slider, drag the icon the appropriate direction and a menu will pop up so you can change the app/action.

I've been downloading custom slider themes and so far most of them work, but I've noticed that none of the themes based off of the Sense slider work!

I can download and install them just fine, but when I actually select a custom Sense theme in WidgetLocker it shows up as the default, gray, boring Sense slider!

I believe the same applies to Rotary based sliders.

Can somebody please explain to me what i'm supposed to do to fix this?

Thanks
[Android Themes] marriedman624:
I had that issue a while back and a quick restart cured it, don't know what was up but it seemed to work.

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

1. Not sure about that one, never seen that issue, can you take a screenshot and post it?

2. Don't select the widgetlocker actions. Instead select application, choose gmail. Then if you want, change the icon to a built in icon. FYI - This applies to the default android/rotary sliders, I don't have any theme of those so I can't test those.

Widgets don't get added after saving

Hey everyone,

This is frustrating - I can't figure out for the life of me why widgets randomly don't get added. I go through the process of adding a widget: Long-tap> "Add to Lock Screen">"Widgets" > (configure everything, click "OK") > nothing appears! This doesn't always happen. On an (possibly) related note, if I just try to add a shortcut to an Application, only a thin sliver of the icon (the top of it) is visible.

This seems to indicate to me that I have something setup wrong, perhaps the Grid layout under Settings>Look&Feel>Layout. If I leave it to "Automatically determine grid size", it comes up with 3 rows x 4 columns. Changing it doesn't seem to do anything.

So how do you determine what grid size works with your devices resolution?

Any ideas??? Thanks in advance...

My specs:

Samsung Galaxy S (1). Android 2.2.1

Minimalistic Text version 2.6.3

WidgetLocker version 2.1.0
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
Poke around on your screen and see if you've got widgets there you can't see. If you can click on one, drag it to your trash. Clear your screen out totally and then try again to set one widget that has given you problems.

As for changing your grid, what launcher are you using? Try changing it in your launcher from the homescreen (for Launcher Pro there's Preferences to make those changes).
[Android Themes] sirdowny:
@reinbeau - your idea of totally clearing out the screen worked! (Note this applies to WidgetLocker, where I was having the problem, though I'm using Launcher7 as my main launcher). I deleted all widgets and when I refreshed (by hitting Menu button>Settings) and then came back, I'd find another widget in the upper left corner of the screen. I previously had a widget placed in that exact spot so apparently new widgets are added by default to that spot. If there's another widget there already, then the new one will be invisible.

So there you have it: don't keep a widget in the upper left corner when adding a new widget (I guess!).

how can I disable the date and clock from the sense mod themes?when I add sense theme I have the clock too:(
[Android Themes] marriedman624:
Make sure you are running the latest version of WL.

When you add sense slider, there is a checkbox for showing/not showing the clock.

Under the menu for advance setting, there is a tick box for "always unlock to home screen". Do you have this checked or unchecked?

I might have a theory about the "X" which shows sometime...

[Android Themes] Rinoko72:
If I understand what you're saying correctly, you don't need to "open" the theme after you've put it in the correct file.

Just open WL in settings mode, hit the menu button, and one of the choices is "refresh themes"..

When you're hit that you should be able to find your new theme when you try to change the theme of a slider... ;)
[Android Themes] Wozik:
Hi,

I've been using WidgetLocker for several days and I must say that it is a great app! Should be in Android already.

One thing that I don't like and maybe you know what causes it:

When I call someone and there is no response, eg. no waiting signal, just hang up, the standard lock screen pops up instead of WidgetLocker.

This is not a case when a call takes place and I or the other party hangs up at the end.

Do you know how to make WL appear, not the Android lock screen in the first case?
