Odd font issue

Has anyone had any issues with WidgetLocker after the latest Jelly Bean update? I'm running CM10 and every once and a while the fonts seem to go from English to Russian or some other unreadable language. It doesn't happen very often, but it's like the fonts go haywire. If I kill the app and then restore it a few seconds later, it seems to fix the issue. I've emailed the developer a few times, but haven't gotten a response.

+1 to this question.

am running a Galaxy Note 2 N7105

only power button wakes to widgetlocker

home button brings me straight to the homescreen
[Android Themes] 33er_export:
I always had the same problem - and finally found the solution on miui.

on miui, widget locker needs, i dont know why, location rights. i´ve always had blocked it with a third party app. since i allowed it, it works fine.

the weird thing is - WL doesnt asks for location rights

at least, it works now.

export

Purchased widgetlocker few hours ago, however I dont see default iphone, miui, froyo, ICS themes.

Also jb theme does not work.

Disabling Google Now from home screen

When I press the search button, Google Now is displayed. Can I disable this?

Hi,

same here. I mailed the developer weeks ago but never got a reply. :(
[Android Themes] MAMeingast:
I have the same issue... Makes no sense to me! I even downloaded another theme based on the same sense theme and it has the same problem... It only really lags during the fading at the beginning... Any ideas anyone?
[Android Themes] Gnaver:
I have a one moth old phone (new medium range HTC device ) everything is smooth and cool but the sense sliders are lagging as he'll.. Tried with animations and without, but the effect is same. Dragging is laggy animation is laggy. just everything about sense in widgetlocker is laggy.. This wasn't problem before so don't know what went wrong. Hope tesla will fix it soon.

Did anyone ever reply to this? It would be nice if it did work with Nudnik.
[Android Themes] 32str8:
A number of us us WidgetLocker as our home/launcher and having it time out on us would defeat the purpose if we are touching the screen checking our widgets. If you can get a hold of an older version (0.20.205) of BetterSleep and set the proximity sensor, it will act the way you want it to. If you can get a hold of that version please email me it as I have lost it in the transition to a Galaxy Note 2.
[Android Themes] ProximaC:
+4 to this. Home button completely bypasses lock screen and just opens the phone.
[Android Themes] noobhero:
widgetlocker - settings - advance - home helper - activate it and under home helper launcher, select ur preferred launcher, under select system home select widgetlocker.
[Android Themes] Saif Hindawy:
after i download the themes for widget locker, and i install them, the only way you can choose a theme is through choosing a sidelocker! meaning you are only changing the lock, not the entire theme! how can i import the exact theme ?
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
That's all a WidgetLocker 'theme' is...the slider. You have to get the other pieces and install them yourself, sorry.
[Android Themes] Saif Hindawy:
ok that's fine, but how do i know what tools they used to make it? they dont always say you know!
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
Ya gotta ask. Most will happily share, if you don't hear anything, then send the OP a PM.

How can i change the direction of the slider ?

This works however I'm on a Wind Galaxy s3 and when I now press the homescreen button normally it flashes black everytime which is annoying. Any other solutions to this problem?
[Android Themes] galaxyjeebs:
Couple Things

Hello, first, I wanted to tell you guys with the problem with the home button. Sometimes this can be ROM related. Someone was asking this in the themes thread, I told him that I was on MIUI GB through to ICS (on my Galaxy SII). On GB WidgetLocker behaved perfectly, but when I upgraded to ICS my home button would unlock phone. Nothing could be done about it at the time, not sure if it's been fixed yet or not. Currently using RootBox, and WidgetLocker has some issues here too. I get tracer graphics from the slider, and other small oddities like strange behavior from gradients. In conclusion, could very well be rom related issues.

Secondly I was reading through a ton of this thread and kind of just gave up at the end, which is why I'm posting this. Hoping to get some help with the whole iphone background being stretched. Has anyone found a surefire way to implement a background without it getting stretched? I've tried moving the dot around and re sizing the image to no avail. Any help would be immensely appreciated (=
[Android Themes] mugget:
What are you trying to achieve with the background on your iPhone slider? Do you understand how it works with that marker pixel? The only way I can think of to avoid it stretching is to size it exactly to fit your device (therefore no stretching should be required). I would take a screenshot, then use that as a background/guide layer in Photoshop and create your new background to cover the existing on exactly, right down to the last pixel.

Also I have a quick question of my own: I've been searching everywhere trying to find the files for the default Jellybean slider included in WL - I want to mod the colours from white to something that matches my lockscreen better. Anyone know where those default WL slider themes are installed? I can not even find where the app itself is installed...

Edit to add >>

I do have the WL "Base Pack" themes, and that includes all the default slider themes except for the jellybean one!
[Android Themes] galaxyjeebs:
- Here is an inverted JB zip file, so it's black, should be simple enough to re color though. Don't know who made it, sry.

- About the slider, what im trying to achieve is for the background not to be stretched. I want to use a texture pattern or graphic. The stretching does not show on solid colors, so I guess it's not really an issue. I designed a few iphone type unlockers, and the ones with graphics in the unlocker get stretched obviously diminishing from quality of the png. I've tried messing with the size, making it smaller/bigger/exact/moving the dot around the png. Unlocker either gets cropped because of the dot placement or the image gets stretched because the dot is in the center. So kind of at a loss.
[Android Themes] mugget:
Thank you times a million!! Exactly what I was looking for!

About your texture slider background - have you checked the Pacman theme for ideas? That has a dot background that isn't repeated... the placement dot doesn't have to be in the middle of the image... ;)
[Android Themes] MinnesotaVikings1961:
Where and how in the menu do I activate the hotspot function?
[Android Themes] malaspina_speaking:
Hi folks,

where can I download the default jelly bean slider theme? I want to simply modify the handle and leave everything else intact, and as far as I know that needs modding the theme itself, correct?
[Android Themes] thefatalepic:
If you're only interested in changing the lock ring handle and nothing else, you don't need widget locker you can flash the themes with MetaMorph. Lookup custom lock rings there is a thread around here with tons of them.
[Android Themes] mugget:
If you do want to go the WidgetLocker route, yes you will need to create a custom slider theme. Just download the inverted jellybean locker that galaxyjeebs posted above, convert it back to white and then modify all you want... of course WL by default includes the stock white jellybean slider theme, but I have no clue where it is otherwise I would have just modded that myself as well...
[Android Themes] galaxyjeebs:
appreciate you trying to help. pacman is a sense theme not iphone though.
[Android Themes] OneFast3:
Any way to change a target after you uninstall or a app changes or is this a bug? Had it before when I uninstalled an app and it just happened with Ingress update.
[Android Themes] mugget:
Are we talking about the same thing here? This is the one I'm thinking about: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11797250&postcount=66

It slides left to right just like the other iPhone type themes, uses the same four images as the other iPhone type themes and the dots in the background don't repeat.

Anyway, I had a bit of a play around with this myself. I just tried out a fake carbon fibre pattern that I had already made, this is what you wanted to achieve, right?

What I found is that you need to keep the 1x1 px placement dot, otherwise the background will only fill a very (very) small portion of the right hand side. However you can move the placement dot wherever you want. WL will only stretch the part of the image that is to the left of the placement dot. So if you have any patterns, they need to be to the right of the dot. If the whole image is a pattern, the dot needs to be at the left most end of the image. ;)

For the above pattern background I resized the image to the width of my screen (720px on a Note 2), then I hid the original pacman layer (and the original placement dot). Using the Pencil tool set to 1x1px in Photoshop I put a dot in the top left hand corner of the image. This tells WL to use the whole image, and stretch nothing.

Hope that helps. :good:

---------- Post added at 07:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

I haven't noticed any problems with that... what exactly happens now that Ingress is updated? You had your lock slider set to open Ingress directly and now it doesn't work? Can you go into WL, edit the slider and set Ingress again manually? What happens if you try to do that?
[Android Themes] OneFast3:
With Ingress they changed it so I had to change target on quick bar on home launcher also to make work. I'm using a JB 8 target theme. On lock screen it shows android guy and says app not installed. When I try to edit it in edit mode it shows nothing and won't let me edit it.

The way I fixed it with the uninstalled program was to reinstall the program then edit it.

I just installed Widgetlocker for the first time on S3 running 4.1.2.

I was able to setup the lockscreen with all desired widgets and app shortcuts.

Still can't figure out how the screen timeout works.

In the Rom settings I have screen timeout set to 60 seconds.

In the app settings the screen timeout is set to 30 seconds.

If the phone is unlocked and I'm at the home screen, the display never times out.

Is this a bug ?
[Android Themes] mrjoeltan:
Hello, I'm using Widgetlocker right now with Apex Launcher, and I was wondering how would I make widget locker run like it's basically the locker screen. Whenever I lock the phone, sometimes when i try unlocking it, it shows the original lockscreen, and then it'd show the widget locker lockscreen. Also, whenever I'd unlock my phone, it'd look like all the icons would shift and go back to it's original place like it glitched or something. Any help?
[Android Themes] sabret00the:
What ROM are you running?
[Android Themes] mrjoeltan:
I'm running AOKP build 3.

I've fixed the icon adjusting, turns out that if I hide my notification bar on the lockscreen and not the homescreen, it has to adjust it.

Now the only problem I have no is sometimes it doesn't go straight to the widgetlocker, sometimes it shows my OG lockscreen and then it shows the widgetlocker. Any way I can make it act like my OG lockscreen?

Hey i've been unable to use WidgetLocker since i updated to CM10.1. The app locks up when i try to resize or move widgets, and the slider goes all jagged when slid, like frames are geting stuck. Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on how to solve it?

Widget locker on razr m

Hey I do not have root helper for widgetlocker how can i obtain it? Plus, my razr m lock screen keeps having the touch keys for back, home, and recent apps open on my lock screen how can i get rid of it? thanks.

P.S. I do not know jack about this at all!
[Android Themes] sphaugh:
So I've recently installed WidgetLocker and been messing around with it. My phone is the HTC EVO 4G LTE and I'm using CM 10.1.

When my screen is locked, I can still bypass the lock screen by pressing the app switch button, also sometimes called the menu or search button. This causes some buggy behavior, namely redrawing errors when I lock the phone again, and a mysterious empty app window that sometimes appears when I close whatever window I opened initially. So, how do I turn off the app switching button in lock mode? It's a soft key so I imagine it should be possible.

Also, what kind of security features does WidgetLocker have?

Thanks in advance!

[Android Themes] azertguigui:
For both of you, the best you can do is to root your phones and use root helper. This way, the softkeys totally disapear and the usual circle of classic lockscreen appear (watch the first screenshot)

For all, I have a simple question. I changed my Lockring to the one you can see on the second screenshot, it's in the stock lockscreen. But I would like to have it on WL. I tried (almost)everything. DL apk, extract and replace files in many ways, I can't re install it (surely a way to protect the app bay Teslacoil...)

Any idea ?

Many thanks

I tried searching this thread, but given the keywords I can use to search it can't get the responses i need :confused:

I have the latest Bèta version of Widgetlocker running on my Acer S500 Cloudmobile (4.1.2 rooted).

What i would really like is a

soft locker

->

a widget or so on my Nova Launcher Homescreen that i can press to lock my Phone

(Dim screen and lock). I have tried a bunch of apps and widgets, but none of them are successful in locking my Phone, WL Always comes back on front.

These apps need typically 'device manager rights' to be able to lock a Phone, but even then no go.

My favourite widgets are "Power Toggles", but any other working widget would do.

Does anybody know how to accomplish this icw WidgetLocker ? A soft widget replacement for the top power button

Hi guys!

I have a problem with my widgetlocker - animation of opening any other app is not working. When I unlock my phone everything works as a charm. In widgetlocker 2.2.7 this problem didn't occur but it does in any later version (confirmed on sgs2 and se arcs). What might be the cause? Any solutions?

Hello! I have just noticed an odd thin black line that appears above most themes on widgetlocker. I'm not sure if it has always been there for me as I have only just switched to a light background. It is the same issue as the post on this page - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=968613&page=467 , 5th post down. I saw no fix posted there and so thought I'd seek help here. The line does not appear on all themes just mainly ones that are straight from left to right. The line varies in length on some and can go all the way across the screen. My setup is mainly default with the app. Grid setup is set to auto. I have tried reinstalling and clearing the cache. Any solutions for this? Thanks!

Unlock with shortcut

I've searched everywhere for an answer to this and can't find it, so wondered if anyone here can help, I have widget locker shortcuts set up for dialer, sms and a flashlight app, when I use one of the shortcuts and then quit the app using the back or home buttons, the phone goes back to the WL lockscreen again, but I want it to go back to the home screen instead, so in effect using any shortcut would unlock the phone as well.

I also use Poweramp for music, and if you use the built in Poweramp lockscreen, even with the 'Direct unlock' (go directly to home on unlock) checked it doesn't, so you have to unlock twice, once with the Poweramp unlock button then again with the widgetlocker unlock button.

I'm not so bothered about the Poweramp thing, but having to unlock again after using a shortcut is really annoying me, so would be very grateful for any help on this, Thanks, Dave.
[Android Themes] weiyu:
LOL. not sure why you want this way. It's so easy that anyone can hack your phone by just using your shortcuts, so why do you need the lockscreen?
[Android Themes] mon5trum:
The same ting bothered me about the shortcuts, so what I did was to have two lock screens! One is widget locker and the other is the pattern or pin lock screen that comes with the phone originally! What ever shortcut you choose or if you just unlock your device you come the second lock! More security!

[Android Themes] mon5trum:
Just go into settings and set up your stock lock screen to either pattern, pin number, or password! And it should come up as you get past widget locker! I have done this ever since froyo and it's always has worked for me!

Good luck and feel free to ask any other questions if any!
