I am having a problem using Lockscreen apps like GOTO and Widgetlocker Lockscreen with CM 7. Widgetlocker gives me way more problem than GOTO does but neither of them are working the way they should. When I tried using Widgetlocker it pretty much went nuts. It wouldn't let me drag any of the sliders, they were all pretty much just frozen and it kept coming up with the force close pop up. And when I tried to lock the phone it would make the locking noise that the default CM 7 lockscreen noise a bunch of time before the screen would come back on.
Is there anyway at all that I can just get rid of the CM 7 default lockscreen or disable it?
TIA....and yes I am a noob so sorry if this is a noob question or has been posted before lol. We all have to start learning this stuff somewhere
Hi.
I recently installed widgetlocker and am loving it.. I use handcent sms and whenever I receive a message, i unlock to read the message via the popup and reply from the popup itself.
Now the problem is that (when widgetlocker is on) whenever I try to type in the popup edit box, whatever I input isn't showing up. This isn't the case when widgetlocker is disabled and the native lockscreen is functional.
Could someone please confirm this? I need to know if its the same for others as well.
I'm having the exact same issue with Widget Locker/Handcent. Did you find a solution?
Unfortunately, I haven't. Which is why I posted it here looking for leads
I've done abit of testing, looks like it only happens when:
1. Widget locker is set to be on top of the sms popups
2. Popup is viewed from when the screen is off
It works if I have the popup appear above widget locker, or if I have the screen turn on when an sms is received in Handcent. But if the screen turns off and I have to unlock it, then it doesn't work.
So it looks like the bug occurs when going from a screen off state to widget locker to the popup. At the moment I have it appear over the widget locker lock screen but would ideally like to unlock before seeing the popup.
Exactly! I can confirm the exact same scenario. I wonder why others using the two app combo haven't noticed it
Are you guys (or gals) using a different home launcher? I used to have this problem when using Launcher Pro Plus. I have since gotten a different phone, and am using ADW. It works as it should, now.
I have the same issue. Anyone gets a solution yet?
As the title indicates I have no "goto" icons in my lockscreen and my home screen is missing the most important icons, the only on there is the middle one for all apps.
See file attatched
Is this a know bug and is there a way to sort it? Yes I have tried reinstalling the rom without any luck.
It seems to work with other launchers (Go Launcher and LauncherPro) but I really just want the stock feel.
Also settings seem to crash a lot...
I had this kind of issue with the lockscreen. If you can, try running the HTC setup app. It hopefully will restore it. Make sure you don't have any repeating Force Close messages, especially with HTC apps. That locks up the whole thing and usually forces you to have to restore a nandroid backup.
Well, that kinda worked for the lockscreen, I now have settings and one other thing there. I seem to remember there used to be a way to customize which icons to show? Any idea where to find it?
Anyone got any tips on the home screen icons?
What is the service called so I can freeze it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
You cant freeze that. There is nothing to freeze.
Why not just go to the Security portion of settings and disable the lockscreen? Just dont put any pattern, pin, or anything. Then anytime you lock the screen it just powers down the screen, hit the power button and its back on, no lock screens of any kinds.

Thanks.
But I want a lockscreen.
I use WidgetLocker and every once in awhile, I get the stock lockscreen and have to swipe it away, then I get the Widgetlocker screen immediately after and have to swipe that away also.
And a couple other buggy type gremlin stuff. Nothing serious, just bits of annoying.
So it would be easier if I could just delete or freeze the stock lockscreen.

Your not going to be able to freeze it because its not really an app to freeze. Its part of the android.policy.jar and framework-res.apk file. This is what the rom makers mess with when they forcing say the AOSP lockscreen.
As far as why the stock one keeps showing up, something is not right, if you set the lockscreen to none on the security settings, then the widgetlocker should be the only one showing up, you shouldnt have two lockscreens. That only happens if you have the security set to a native lockscreen and then widget locker is sitting on top of that.

Huh, if that's the way it's supposed to be done, then I wonder why WidgetLocker doesn't do it for me.
I just turned off the lockscreen in security (I think) and WidgetLocker is still working. I assumed it would be disabled also, if I turned off lockscreen. We'll see if this does the trick. Thanks.
The lockscreen settings in the settings tab only affects the original one, it cant adjust the widgetlocker one. It doesnt even know about that.
So if you removed the lockscreen from settings, it wont show the original samsung one anymore. If they still have Widgetlocker installed and enabled, it will then be your lockscreen. If you dont want that, then you need to disable Widgetlocker and either get another one you like or put the samsung one back on since you said you still want some type of lock screen, otherwise you wont have any lock screen, just a screen power off.
The lockscreen apps unfortunately cant modify the existing base OS code, they litterally just sit on top of the existing one and sort of inject themselves in there by you giving them the default. But if the stock/samsung one is enabled it still goes into effect, thats why you end up with two lockscreens. So basically you need to enable just one of them.

Yeah, that works up until a reboot. Then the stock one pops up again

Yep, it looks like you can disable any security settings that pertain to the default lockscreen. Like removing a pin, or special drawing function to unlock.
But it doesn't actually remove the lockscreen itself.
So I tried "No Lock":
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nolock&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
This completely disables the default lockscreen.
But on reboot, you still see the lockscreen for like two seconds, then it goes away on its own.
I'll try this combo with WidgetLocker for awhile to see how it works. So far so good, but the real test will be over a few days use.
Sometimes that stock lock screen would come up when I bring the phone out of deep sleep. It's fairly rare, just enough to be a small annoyance.

Are you on a rom with 14 toggle? If It has a locksreen toggle, thats what I used when I used golocker. It never showed stock, except on a reboot.
Hey guys--
I've noticed an issue with the stock clock app since upgrading to KK. It adds a notification 2 hours before any alarm with the option to disable it, which is fine but unnecessary and it makes my status bar very sloppy since there's 2 alarm icons at that point. I'd rather just disable it.
I've researched and supposedly there's a setting in the clock app to disable it if you go to settings from the alarm screen. That doesn't seem to be the case in my version. Does anyone know if Moto removed that from their skin?
Any other ideas how to resolve this?
One idea I saw was to disable the clock app's permission for making a notification. Tried that, and the second icon did indeed still gone, obviously. But the alarm didn't work right. It sounded, but the screen didn't go on and the phone didn't vibrate. When I woke it up manually, the sound kept going off, but the only way to dismiss the alarm was to launch the app and turn the slider to off because no alarm screen ever appeared.
Any other ideas how to more successfully disable that notification?
Thanks!
