Widgetlocker

I just bought the widget locker app from the market...BEST 2 DOLLARS EVER SPENT!!! You would not believe the features this app has. Rotary lockscreen, iphone lockscreen, widgets and shortcuts on your lockscreen. And, my favorite part, NO HAPTIC FEEDBACK ON THE SLIDER!!! I would definitly recomend this app
*I attached a screenshot. The second shot has the iphone slider. Third is sense pull-down

I actually just got this app this weekend so im fairly new to it. How'd you get all those different sliders like rotary, iphone, and sense.

Open WidgetLocker settings then check under 'Look & Feel' > 'Sliders & Layout'.

Cool thanks!

I like the app but the couldn't get the security pattern to work with it. It was either a double lockscreen with a pattern, or no pattern at all. If they had that working I'd buy it again

Meh. Its ok. Not quite the best two bucks I ever spent. Its a little slow starting and doesn't actually replace the stock lock screen so much as cover over it. When u wake the phone u see a flash of the stock slider before widget locker takes over. Petty, but that annoys me. Using unlock patterns with it is also flakey. I do like the app, but in its current state its more the quality of a free app. Hopefully they continue to dev and provide some updates. If not, I don't figure ill be using it long.
That about sums it up. Neat app, needs work. If you have 2 bucks to spare, give it a try.

Hmmm, to bad. The settings are really touchy and you definitly dont have it right if your seeing the stock lockscreen when you wake the phone. To bad people put negative feedback out there when they dont even know how it works, see it all the time with apps in the market

I get same thing, the app can't open itself fast enough all the time to cover up the default lock screen. It is a cool app but not worth 2 dollars when there are so many apps out there that offer more for less.

No free app I know of let's you customize sliders and put widgets and shortcuts on the lock screen. You can bypass the 5 second transition from stock lock screen to widget locker in the settings.

Not meaning to sound negative. It is a cool app. I just expect a paid app to be a bit more refined. Less buggy, let's say. I will continue using and playing with it for a while.

If your seeing the stock lock screen your settings are wrong. I never see it and forget I'm even using an app

Can you explain the bugs your having? I haven't ran across any

Check out No Lock app on the market if ur default lockscreen is getting in the way.

some reboots when unlocking, and sometimes the stock lock screen appears before widget locker. I have changed the settings both using root bypass and home helper. Both of those options alleviate the issue, but do not fix it entirely.

Request: Lockscreen Wallpaper App

Hi,
I would like to have a simple app that makes it possible to use a wallpaper of choice. I know i can use apps like WidgetLocker, but that's quite overkill when all i want is to use a different wallpaper then the one on my homescreen.
How difficult and time consuming would it be to make an app like this?

Thanks, but it's not what i'm looking for. I don't want a new lockscreen, i'm just interested in setting a lockscreen wallpaper without the bloat.

So basically keep the stock lockscreen and have a new password? But not a different locksxreen at all?

No, i'm not using password/gesture on my lockscreen. All i want is to use one wallpaper on the lockscreen, and one on my homescreen, like Smokeey says. That's all

(Dev of WidgetLocker)
I don't have an answer to your question. But I have technical information on why such an app doesn't exist and how it possibly could be done.
At the app level, rather than rom level, the only way I can think of to do this without replacing the lock screen, and with the wallpaper behind (rather than on top of) the lock screen, would be for the app to change the system wallpaper when the stock lock screen starts and to change it back on USER_PRESENT.
I don't know how fast a wallpaper change can be done and this might cause annoying visual effects during the change, especially since most of the time the user is unlocking to the Launcher, so the switch would have to happen on screen. It could be annoying if the switch didn't happen until after unlock, also annoying, but maybe less so, if it happened before the lock screen disappeared.

Many thanks for your reply! I have WidgetLocker, but not using it right now, but can you tell us if you plan to release an update with theming support in the near future?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Expand lock screen widgets

Hi All,
I finally made the jump and bought a Nexus 7 even tho we will most likely see a newer version in May. However it is still freakin awesome! I am running CM 10.1 nightly's but cannot expand the lock screen widgets. Is this possible? I love that new Dashclock widget for the lock screen but it will only show me two of my selected options before it cuts off because I am unable to expand the widget.
I use it on the Note 2 (also running CM10.1) and it works great. Anyone know something that I may have missed?
Thanks in advance
-Chris

I actually forgot how it's done. I remember I did it once on 4.2 but never again could I expand the widgets to maximum size again on 4.2.1 and 4.2.2

Hi there,
Have you tried Apex Launcher?
I dunno for sure, but maybe, and just maybe you can re-size and customize the lock screen widgets.
Hope this helps

I did! That's what I thought but looks like it's built into CM 10.1. but not in the grouper builds i guess.

Swipe down on the widget. From the clock

It doesn't behave the same way my Note 2 build does.Only thing I can do is delete or add widget. no re-sizing (that I can see or get to work) .

It really is strange then. Maybe if you pm your Rom dev for some q & a.

Lockscreen widgets

Anyone else disappointed HTC didn't include these in 4.2.2?

Not really I had them on my s4 and found them more annoying then useful but if you want them that bad flash cm10.1

Yes I am very disappointed. I've been wanting to use dashclock on my lock screen for ages!
I don't get why HTC chose to leave off a headline feature of 4.2.2.

Big time disappointment for me aswell, this is my first android phone, and when testing others phones, the majority had it working...... can not understand why they would'nt include it.

The only one I ever use is Dashclock. Thanks to the 4.2.2 Sense update and Widget Locker, I can still use it. I'm annoyed by HTC's decision but it wasn't a problem

Disable HTCLockscreen.apk and you will get stock lockscreen with lock screen widgets.
Apparently worked for someone in the ARHD thread but doesn't work for me, stock lockscreen shows but no lock screen widgets.

Only works if you dirty flash from 4.1.1 rom to a 4.2.2 rom. Most people couldn't get the phone to boot though.

Yep this worked for me, but I did dirty flash, I don't confirm if that's the reason it worked though.
The novelty of dash clock had worn off for me though useful as it is.

Not sure if you mean you're disappointed that HTC didn't include stock widgets, but you could try out Widget Locker and put other widgets on the lockscreen.

I'm a bit confused. Once I get the 4.2 update I will be able to use widgets like Dash Clock, right? Changing lock screen is no big issue for me as long as it works.

You won't be able to add widgets to your lockscreen. That's just how HTC did it. Even if you remove their lockscreen. Only way to get widgets will be if you use widgetlocker.

The widgets don't work. Only if you dirty flashed over a 4.1.1 Rom. Unless a newer version was released that some how included it, you have to use widgetlocker.

Even more confused now I don't know the difference between regular lock screen widgets and Dash Clock, but as long as I can use Dash Clock I'm happy.

Ahh Ok, yeah I did a dirty flash. But I switched back to the sense lock screen because I noticed if you had a pattern lock and got a call, you would have to unlock with your pattern before answering the call with the AOSP lockscreen

I have personally had problems using Widget Locker both on my S3 and now the One...find it to be laggy and at times not work consistently with notifications.

Can someone please explaine how it works?
Hi!
I've just flashed the new 4.2.2 and when i looked at the promissing lockscreen widget i was and i am confused.
I can see 7digital and a bunch of my Fancywidget widgets and Google, where are ALL my other widgets? Why so few?
I can live with that i can't scroll to the left and right for more pages (seems very strange to me anyway) but hey, i though ALL widgets could be put on my lockscreen...

Wait so the new lockscreen style "Widget" doesn't allow for Dash Clock to be placed on it? That's so bunk =/

Notification Panel by Mathieu Croset - Nexus 5

Hi there,
I found these screenshots of a custom notification panel on dribbble.com ! I think it is just awesome !
I wondering if it is possible to have this on my nexus 5 ? It is a mod ? A theme ? Or something else ?
Thanks.

Niiiiiiiiice

it looks almost exactly like ios

Pretty sure its just a custom homescreen, its possible with Zooper.
Sent from my Nexus 5

Yes that is a home screen. Probably done with Zooper as stated above. You can Google some pretty awesome zooper layouts. Just download them from the web and customize to your liking. It is kind of difficult at first, but you'll get the hang of it. It's for power users I'd say. You can customize pretty much anything how you want for your home screen.

Hi
Take an eye on this

Yes pretty sure it's UCCW or Zooper but it's a homescreen.. Not possible to do that on the notification panel.
