Beautiful Widgets - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What's the secret for BW? When I unlock my phone and the weather displays, it opens the clock or weather skin change menu. I haven't always had that issue and can't seem to get it to just display the weather then let me see my home screen-I have to hit Home each time. I've tried setting it back to the weather/clock combos that I haven't had issues with but no luck. Are there certain developers to avoid or a setting I need to change? Love the app and the options but hate this issue. Any ideas?
Edit: Ive got it worked out

Can you disable lock screen on Cyanogen 6 on EVO?

I've looked everywhere on the internet, and I can't find any solution to disabling the lock screen on Cyanogen 6 on my EVO; is it even possible, or, is there any software that will either disable it, or let me use something besides the power button to unlock it?
thanks so much!
widget locker doesnt exactly disable the stock cm6 lockscreen but it does allow a lot of customization....including using the volume rocker to wake the phone.......
thanks; it looks like it might be the closest I will get to an actual "no lock"
its a pain getting to the power button with the case I am using
Search for "no lock" in the market. Disables the lock screen.

doesnt work properly for me on Cyanogen 6.0..
SwitchPro Widget is an excellent 'power strip' widget in the market. With it you can have a disable/enable lockscreen widget on your power strip. Well worth the .99 centers!

Thanks for the tip. SwitchPro is the best power strip widget... it's extremely customizable.
thanks guys, switch pro did the trick!
Although it seems like you've already solved your problem, the customizable power widget in CM6 final allows you to do this. When you add the power widget it takes you to a configuration page and one of the options is to disable the lock screen. It's off by default so you will need to check the box to add that feature to the power widget.

well, I configured one of the buttons to be "lock screen", or "no lock", i forgot the term for it..
then, when you enable it, it shuts off the lock screen..
problem is, that widget causes alot of FC's in Cyanogen..frankly, ALOT of widget cause alot of FC's in Cyanogen 6..not too happy with it so far..
I have switchpro and CM6.0 (final version...not a nightly) and i have never had it FC. Try reinstalling it maybe?

Took me a while to work that out.
When you are in the live wallpaper selection screen, scroll to the weather wallpaper, hit "preview" and then you will find a "settings" button. Low and behold there is a tickbox to turn the sound off.
Out of interest, do you find that the weather live wallpaper (and in fact all live wallpapers) reduce the framerate of the carousel after a while. It seems fine to start with but then slows things down. I would really like to use the weather wallpaper but low frame rates annoy me - as it makes the phone look slow when I am showing it off.
Thanks for the solution, been annoying me since I got the thing. Now just need to solve the car dock issues
You cold just open weather app, go to settings, untick last option .
Thanks freco, but that does not work. If you have weather background set the only way to get rid of the sound effectst is via the background/preview/ settings.
The easiest way to do it is to remove the clock widget from the homescreen and then add it back. When you add the clock widget back to the homescreen it will give you the option for the weather animation and sound. I would just remove the animation all together. There really is no point to it and its using precious resources.

Has anyone run across an alternative weather sound set for the Sensation?
The "Sunny Day" sound effect is almost as annoying as fingernails on a
chalkboard to me. The rest are ok.
Even if you happen to know the name of the file and it's location would be
helpful (I could try deleting that sound alone and cross fingers that it doesn't
eff up forcing me to reflash).
Thanks.

Dialer/phone shortcut missing on lockscreen.

I was trying to setup a lockscreen shortcut and I can't set it to phone/dialer. Also I cannot see it in the app drawer. Any ideas why? It opens fine from the homescreen. Running Virtuous Sensation 1.0.1.
Sent from my T-Mobile Sensation 4G
It should just be named phone
Having the same issue! Revolution HD ROM.
No one else with similar issue?
Are you saying that you don't see the phone app from the app drawer? If so, maybe you mistakenly hid it or somthing. Are you using Rosie or an alternative launcher. Phone is one of the four default items on the lockscreen when "wallpaper lockscreen" is selecter from the Personalize menu. So I take it, you have either changed the lockscreen or have changed the phone item and can't get it back? Am I correct, so I can further help you?
I was setting up shortcuts in the lock screen. I left the phone dialer alone cause I needed it as a shortcut and just changed the other 3. When I went to check the lockscreen it was missing. I also tried adw launcher and it wasn't set as a default on the dockbar. I couldn't get it to appear. I did finally manage to get it on adw after setting a shortcut to an activity. Still should have been able to select it from app drawer though, but nothing.

Just download it, open a file explorer, go to it's download location (wherever you downloaded it to) and click on it. Also remember to allow installation of non-market apps in the settings. Another way would to just search for it on the market. Market link - (Free) - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free&feature=search_result ; (Paid) - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen&feature=search_result .
This is pretty smooth,
One thing I thought was odd was that in your setup you have an Ad. While not odd in itself, you need to make money somehow. The ad was in Chinese, or Japanese, or some other symbol language.
I'd probably be more inclined to click an ad I could read, just a heads up.

Nice lock screen app, but the short cut settings are very unstable. Sometimes they work, most times they don't...
Like This . Thank You .
Tested the free version an view minutes and bought the app. Great look screen!
I like it but the use of a lockscreen is destroyed when just a home button exits the lock.
Great job dev!

looks nice tnx
Hey dev, I have a small glitch. Using the ripple lock and the phone was in sleep mode my alarm went off. I had no way of turning the alarm off. Nothing popped up giving me the option to turn the alarm off. The phone woke up locked but that was it. I was using the stock alarm if that matters.
Thanks.

Is there a way to disable the volume buttons? Right now when the volume buttons are pushed the screen turns on and makes a beep sound
i really love ripplelock, but i have one problem:
if i put my phone in airplanemode at night (to save some battery) and turn off airplanemode at the next morning, usualy the PIN-input-screen pops up. But if i install ripple lock, the PIN-input-screen doesnt pop up, regardless of the chosen double-lockscreen method. only while system security lock is enabled, the PIN-input-screen pops up, but this way i get an double lockscreen.
The only version, which works properly for me without this issue is v2.2, evrey other version above 2.2 has the descriped bug. Thats why i stick with this version and hope this issue will be fixed soon.
(Also I would love to see that the home-button doesnt unlock anymore, while the status-bar is hidden (one of two main reasons, why i use ripple lock instead of the modded system lockscreen, which looks nearly the same except for the visible status-bar and that the lock icon functions only as a slider).)
BTW: I'm on an rooted Desire HD with cm7
Pretty cool app. Slight bugs:
1st time I had a notification written in Chinese or something. Then came up in English after I got through that one. Maybe or maybe not a bug; maybe you could ask the user 1st time setup which language to use.
2nd bug is that I came out of standby and was at the homescreen and then the lockscreen loaded up a second or two later. Maybe it's my midrange phone (Galaxy Ace) causing it to be a bit laggy.
Otherwise pretty awesome app.
I love the look of honeycomb especially the lockscreen. I've been using Ripple Lock for about 3 weeks now. So far so good. Thank you Dev!

Weather on Pattern Lockscreen

This is probably the most noob question ever, but, how can I make the weather appear on my lockscreen? I can only find widgets to add to the panel when you swipe to the left from the lockscreen. I don't want to have to swipe to the side, I just want to see it when I turn the screen on.
I use the pattern lockscreen, but see the attached picture for the type of weather display I'm trying to get.
Thanks.
Nevermind,
Realized there is a CM10 widget with all the goodies on it. I had installed Lockscreen Policy and turned widgets off, doh.
However, if anyone knows a way to disable the slide to the left and still only have the one CM10 widget screen, I'd appreciate that info!
Thanks.
That's the Chronus widget but it was recently renamed to cLock due to to legal reasons.. Im not sure what you mean by slide thing though.. Can you elaborate?
