Hi,
I have released today a live wallpaper that will show your album covers as 3D tiles. The covers will react when the finger is above them, there are some settings to customize dimming, color tint, cover size, ...
The application is available as a free demo which is fully functional except that it will only pick 5 albums from your music collection.
There also is an unlocker application (not free) that will allow showing all your album covers at a time instead of just the same 5.
Download the app on Google Play

Hi, just to know whether there really is no interest in such a wallpaper (in which case I would just give up on new features).
If any one is interested in testing the full version, I will gift the full APK to the first 10 reviewers of the demo version (no need to post a positive feedback, just post your own true feeling about the app).
Yea I would like to I'm mostly curious wether it works with streamed music from google music. Either way ill give it a go!

hi, the wallpaper fetches the covers from the android's internal media database. I have no idea whether Google Music writes the covers there (I doubt it). Please tell me when you have tried it.
Anyone else interested in testing the wallpaper? I'll send the full unlocker APK for free to the first 10 willing to give me their feedback here.
Or maybe some additional feature ideas to make it more interesting.
The application has been updated to version 1.1 to fix a bug on some custom ROMs and to reduce the package size.
Hey I think it's a great app but at the same time the functions are so limited

Thanks for trying it. What would you like to be added for instance? In which way would you improve it?
PS: by the way, contact me via PM if you'd like the unlocker for free as you are one of the first 10 reviewer.
force close on lg optimus 2x running stock gingerbread 2.3.4
Unfortunately I cant test it but i can look into the settings. You could maybe add transition options like fading (fading speed, fading color ..) or make the album arts be like flipping tiles when changing (wp7 style, kinda..)
cheers
Interested
I'm willing to try it out. I'm curious about one thing. Will it automatically update itself once we change album arts of songs using tag editor apps? Or will even changing others details and tags affect it?

I would be interested in testing on the Asus Transformer Prime running Tegra 3. That is of course, if this is also made for tablets. Cheers
Nevermind...the way I download my music doesn't have cover art, so this wallpaper will do me no good. But it does run great on my tablet with the ONE album cover I do have.
Nice!
My review:
This is a really cool live wallpaper. Runs a bit slow on my Droid X with CM7.2 RC, but I'm sure it would work great on faster phones. A feature that you could add would be an automatic album cover change every so often (let the user pick how long), and maybe also support to pick your own album covers. Cool LW though!
I'll try it if you're still giving the keys out. Got a Nexus S running 4.0.4

Would you happen to have access to your logcat and thus to the Exception thrown? Just to make sure, you do have albums with covers in your music library?

Yep, that's a good idea. I'll make different transition styles.

The wallpaper caches the albums when it is launched. So if the wallpaper is never killed by the Android system, no, you won't see changes. However, as a general observation I could notice that the wallpaper service is getting closed and restarted pretty often.
I will however try to cover that use case, for example each time the media scanner is called.
Thanks for the feedback!

Out of curiosity, how many albums do you have in your library (approx.)? Which was the size setting (small/medium/large)?
The albums should already be switching every now and then (this is random but not configurable, I will make it adjustable).
And about picking the album covers, there are already great apps to do that job, so I prefer to leave it to them instead of making something not as great as they do.

Force closes on Nook Color running ICS
New version released
Hi,
I have implemented new features in response to your comments. Here is the change log for version 2.0:
+ Animation for tile addition/removal is now customizable (for now, can be set to zoom or fade, more to come soon)
+ You can make the tiles fade out with time
+ You can customize the life time of a cover (how often they get swapped for another one)
+ Added better crash reporting (uses the ACRA library)

WidgetLocker is a paid app, this thread is to be used for support. Also feel free to email me.
I'm the developer of WidgetLocker, which is a lockscreen replacement with emphasis on customization. Primarily by allowing you to place standard Android widgets (or shortcuts) on the lockscreen. It allows you to drag-and-drop similar to how the home screen works. It also includes Custom Sliders, which allow you to add extra sliders to the lockscreen for whatever you want. There's built in actions for things like silence/vibrate, brightness, quick camera mode, dialer. But you can also use any shortcut, such as direct dial or any application on your phone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Additional FAQs:
When will the next update be released?
Sorry, I cannot give ETAs. Updates take a lot of time and I try to squeeze a lot into an update. Please be patient.
I'm having a really weird problem?
Can you send a bug report via Settings > Report Bug so I have some more information? (And please briefly restate the problem to remind me what the report is in regard to).
FYI those problems I contacted you about earlier are no longer. Don't know what it was, but it works wonderfully. Great app!
Yep, WidgetLocker rules, FlyScreen drools. It works really great, and it's fast and always there. No more built-in lock before the lock screen, no more home/back/notification goes past it, etc..
Did a good job on this one, look forward to what's coming.
bought!....great work keep it up!!
A version for us who can't pay would be cool
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Im interested in buying this for my Legend to solve a problem.
Basically I love spotify but its main shortcoming is it doesnt have lockscreen controls.
Ive looked all over for some kind of hold down volume +- to change current media track but no joy.
Would it be possible to have some kind of overall media controls to add as a widget? What I mean is if anything is using the media output (could be any program) then skipping forward and back would work on whatever it is thats playing but not in focus.
There must be a way to do this ;(

I assume you are in a country that allows paid apps?
And are running Android 2.1 or 2.2?
If those are both true then what phone are you on? I can't think of any other reason WidgetLocker wouldn't be visible. It does not employe the "copy protection" that sometimes blocks market visibility.
i heard people on the 2.2 roms ... leaked and beta versions sometimes have issues seeing apps in the market

Using ADW here, and the ONLY time I see lag is when ADW has clearly gotten killed for whatever reason. Otherwise it comes up immediately.

I believe this is only when the app has the copy-protection option enabled on the market. I don't have that enabled for WidgetLocker (mainly because I want it visible to people on leaked roms)

iTouch24 and I identified the LauncherPro problem as an animation being run by LauncherPro whenever it is activated (and the animation is still run even if it's suppossed to be disabled. It just runs much faster.). I'm going to talk to Fredrico about seeing if WidgetLocker can bypass this animation and also suggest he add options to disable them in general as not all users want them. Also note that this LauncherPro delay is very minor (the length of a quick animation), not a serious lag issue.

Aha, 'splains that then. I haven't really used LauncherPro since trying ADW
I just found this app today after hearing about it on the last Android Atlas podcast. I love it as is but what I'm truly looking for is a pattern-based lock screen where the pattern points are invisible.
I love being able to customize my lock screen with all of the options that you have included with this app. But nothing would please me more than being able to to away with the slider all together in lieu a pattern lock where the points of contact are not seen.
I would love the added security while maintaining the aesthetics of the unlock screen options that you have included. Perhaps something to consider in any potential updates. Either way your app is quite nice.
sorta off topic but any of you guys have a suggestion for a missed call widget?
keep up the great work!

Thank you very much for this amazing application.

Can you add in alternative wallpaper, an option to choose live wallpaper???
It's will be great if we can used LW ownskined.
I originally wrote Frame me for my Hero and released it under the Hero forums. Since it should work on any phone I though I would add a thread here as well. I only have my Hero to test with so if you have something other than a Hero I would love to hear your feedback.
In short, Frame me is a 1x1 widget of a photo that enlarges to full screen when clicked. Here are a few features:
Now working with the Atrix external SDCard
1x1, 1x2, 2x1, 2x2 Widgets
full screen image when clicked
multiple widgets supported
selectable picture frames
Crop image when selecting
Full widget preview on your background
Click on one widget - Fling to the others
Click on widget and fling through images in user selected directory
timed rotation of widget image in directory mode
Reconfigure existing widgets
Atrix external SDCard support
Frameless image
My Application website is at: http://deanstudios.net/dev/frameme
More details can be found at the site above or in the Hero App thread, HERE. FrameMe is available as a free download on the Hero thread. However, If you enjoy it and wish say thanks, it is also in the market for $0.99. Below are a few screenshots give you an idea. Click one of the links above to read the details or download. Thanks for taking a look!!

I hadn't actually thought of this. I will add it to the wish list. This is my first venture into android so it takes me a little bit of time to get my head around some of the APIs. I like the idea though.

Thanks orangekid. Pesky BBCode was in the wrong place. It is working now.
Just letting you know, version 1.1.2 has just been released. Includes a minor change to the directory option (thumbnails now show when clicked) and 7 new frames. More information through the links in the OP.
Okay everyone version 1.2.0 is out and ready to be enjoyed. There were significant layout and code changes to this one so if you find a bug PLEASE let me know. Especially you guys on hdpi devices. So, here is the short list of changes:
Full widget preview on your own background during the widget configuration
Simplified layout (easier for me to add frames)
Reconfigurable widgets, press menu while widget is full screen for widget settings.
Graphical frame selection – awwww pretty!
Bug fixes – pesky bugs
Code performance improvements
Enjoy! Links are updated on the original post.
The application works wonderfully but the 1x1 widget is almost impossible to see anything. Is there any chance in the future update of size 2x2.
Yes, a 2x2 is on my to-do list. I originally wrote this for my own use and the 1x1 is what I needed and couldn't find. I have had several requests for a 2x2 and am currently working on it.
Glad you like it!!

Hi Rookie4life, I know what you are talking about. That should have been solved in version 1.2.1. Actually, that was the reason I put out 1.2.1. What version do you have installed? Links in the Hero form (available in OP) should be updated for the latest version. If this is still happening with 1.2.1 then I will have to look into it some more.
ahhh... yes i have 1.2.0
i must have missed the link for 1.2.1
I will have to look again. thank you for you quick response
Perfectly simple app! I love it. Thank you for creating it! I'm going to go d/l the donate version now.

Great app! Thank you! Trying it out!
Using this on the EVO, when I click on the "Dir Enable" then save, when I click on the picture widget I get a force close.

Can you change the options besides 1x1? When i resize on the phhone they look pixilated (which is expected)

Hi Vegasden, do you click on the text "click here to set dir" and choose a directory or just press save after clicking the check box? Either way it shouldn't FC. I will look and see if I can determine where that happens. Let me know if you are also setting a directory path.

Changelog:
Beta 2
-Added all the translations submitted to the UberMusic translation project. If any of the translations in your language seems wrong, feel free to head over to the project page and submit better translations (if someone already submitted a better translation, you can help by upranking the best translation).
-Added gestures for switching songs in the "Now Playing" screen. Swipe from right to left to go to the next track, and from left to right to go to the previous track.
-Added an option in the settings to choose and apply a skin. Skins can be installed through the Android market once skin developers start publishing them there. If you would like to make skins for UberMusic, please read the UberMusic Skin Creation Manual
-Fixed the Last.fm scrobbling through the official app that got broken in Beta 1
-Fixed a force close issue when opening folders with apostrophes in the path.
Beta 1
Note: The user interface is now driven by the new skinning engine. I'll be releasing all the details on how to make skins as soon as I'm finished writing them (will take some time). I think this app has the most powerful skinning engine on the market right now.
The official/default skin drops the WP7 look, but the skinning engine is flexible enough that it can be made to look exactly like the previous Alpha versions through skins. If you want the WP7 look back, you'll have to wait until someone releases a skin for it (which I'm sure won't take long once the details on how to make skins are released). The Beta versions have a different package name than the Alphas, so they can coexist in your device (you can install the Beta without overwriting the Alpha).
Also, I've started a Crowdin.net (collaborative transaltion) project for UberMusic. So if you'd like to see UberMusic translated in your language, feel free to head over to the project page and submit translations/corrections or vote for the best translations.
-Changed the disable lockscreen option so that it only disables the lockscreen when something is playing. It should also work even if you leave the Now Playing screen, but it's not failproof.
-Changed the layout of the Now Playing screen on LDPI devices so that scrolling isn't necessary.
-Improved the track seeking functionality of the progress indicator. You can now click anywhere on the indicator to seek to that position.
Alpha 7:
-Fixed the force-close when opening the Recently Added playlist.
-Fixed the trash can appearing on the Album screen.
Alpha 6:
-Playlists can now be edited through the app. Open a playlist and press Menu > Edit. Use the handles (up/down arrows) to drag/move songs. Drag them to the trash can to remove them from the playlist.
-The widget's Play button should now work even if the queue is empty.
-Added a menu item on the Now Playing screen to go to Settings.
-Added an option to disable the lockscreen while on the Now Playing screen.
-You can now choose to scrobble through the official Last.fm app, through ScrobbleDroid / SLS, or disable it entirely.
-Fixed some problems in the shuffling code that were causing force closes.

Amazing app!
UberMusic, Alpha 7, is already my default player. The "lock screen" feature has definitely won me over!
Fede, I have only one more request: a feature to disable or customize the automatic artist background. I assume this is done through Google Images. I listen to classical music and the "auto pic" is amazingly precise. But sometimes it fails and this kind of bothers me. I prefer no background at all to a wrong one.
This app is a real winner

On Alpha 5 and 6 i had problems where it kept force closing when i tried to select an album. hope it works better in alpha 7. mind you i still ready have this as my main player now.
I was wondering why Fede picked UberMusic. sounds really odd!
Wow, thanks man! Awesome player.
I think that i am just having brain problems but ...
How do you select random and repeat in this app ... other than that it looks and behaves great ...

UPDATE: Beta 1
Market description:
You can't disagree that ICS lockscreen music control is a really convenient thing.
But have you ever thought about being able to control your music from anywhere?
If yes, then this application is just for you.
This is basically a music control widget you see on the lockscreen, except you can launch it anywhere.
And you can change it's size - make it huge, or make it tiny. Tuck it in the corner, or place it right in the middle of the screen.
WARNING: For this application to work your player have to support standard ICS lockscreen controls. Those players include but are not limited to:
Poweramp, Droidsound, Yandex.Music
To close the widget, double tap it. To resize it, pinch it out or in.
You can launch this app by the regular shortcut or the same way you launch Google Now.
Now, letter trom the developer(from me ):
As this app implements exactly the same interface as 4.0+ lockscreen music controls, it is obviously unable to control players which don't support 4.0+ lockscreen controls. However, my other app, Quick Control Dock, is able to control some players which doesn't support lockscreen controls.
This app is and will be totally free. No annoying ads. But if you will suddenly feel generous, please consider a donation

And...where is the feedback?
Any way to change the widget size and shape?

This seems like a very good idea and I am tempted to give it a shot! One thing I like so far is that it has to ability to be closed!!
The other floating apps out there stay on the screen, sure it minimizes icons placed on peoples homescreens, but when I am reading something and have to constantly move something around to keep reading, it gets rather annoying!

Well...nothing about shape, but you can change it's size by pinching it.

Lol well, so far love it. Light, simple, quick to respond. 2 devices, both mostly stock, rooted 4.1.2 Moto Razr xt912, RAZR HD XT 926.
My only suggestion / request would be; open app on single tap of artwork.
Customizable colors would be appealing, but not at their cost of the lightweight feel.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you!

About opening app - it's a good idea, and it will be really easy to implement as I've already done exact same thing in my Quick Control Dock.
I'll do it.
You are the, wait for it...... MAN!
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2
Okay, I'm off to code some features you requested
Think I'll finish in one or two hours.
Only one question - should the app close itself when you open current player by tapping album-art?
I didn't even consider that, but yes. Otherwise the redundancy would be too much to bear.
PS... Bought your other app. Digging that one too!

Okay guys, got a little update.
Changelog in 1.0.1:
-Long tap the metadata to open current player
-Size and position of widget now stored on close and restored on start
-Slightly altered position of the metadata
-Maximum widget size is now bound only by min(width, height)
-Fixed crash in ICS devices(or not, need some testing)
-Added mini-mode for phones - in mini mode all metadata will be hidden and the window will become very small. To exit mini mode, long-tap the play button. To enter mini mode - minimize the window with your fingers.
It works good but what's the point if we already have it in our notifications?
App crashes at start. Tried using this on a rooted stock rom Nexus 7 (2013). The player I'm using is Rocket Player.
How do I send you a crash report?
When open this app from quick control on my navigation bar, it occupies the whole screen
I tried reducing the size but it still occupies the whole screen
Nexus 4 running pa3.92 android 4.3
Any idea how to fix it?

You have 4.3, yes? There is a crash because I compiled it against 4.2.2 library. I'll compile it with 4.3 and upload an update soon.

Yes, I'm deploying the fixed version right now.
That's it, uploaded update here, on XDA.
Also...are there anyone interested in article on how to implement such a media controls like in lockscreen and my app?
I'm also going to add optional persistent notification with same functionality.

Not every player has notification controls. For example, my favourite Droidsound(I use it for playing PSF files) doesn't.
Some doesn't provide a button to switch song back.

Strange, mine is working fine, check out the screenshot. Do you have the newest Rocket Player version? Maybe try to reboot, sometimes Google Music just won't let music controls go.
Hello XDA!
I made a very nice app that allows anyone to have lock screen widgets. You can configure up to 4 widgets. I will be creating a pro version in the near future with MANY more features!
You can download the app on Google Play!
Now anyone can have a page of widgets on their lock screen!
Widget Pager
WIDGET PAGER PRO IS NOW ACTIVE!!!!
Get It On Google Play
This widget doesn't work for my phone. After I install this app, I set the widget I want to be displayed on my lock screen, but nothing happened.
I'm using Allview V1 Viper S (Walton Primo S2 rebranded for Romania), with rooted stock ROM.
PS: Excuse me for my very bad english.
Android versions
Nice job but please mention Android versions it will work with.
Good luck !!!

Did you enable the app by ticking the check box where you configured your Widgets? If so, look in the bottom left hand corner on your lock screen for the button to show your Widgets.

Can you try the updated version and report back? Thanks a bunch!
I very like your widget! It runs good on my i9300 with Android 4.4.4
However I discoverd a bug: the time-out period for the lockscreen is now the same as the time-out period in display settings. Without your widget the time-out in lockscreen is the default 5 seconds.
Could you please fix this?

Thanks and can you do something about resizing widgets or chose number of widgets like 1,2,3,4 chose buton?
Also start icon can be more stylish (in my humble opinion like rounded with shadow) sorry for criticism
No rush

I'm not a big fan of graphic design
The code itself takes some time to build so the start icon was thrown together quickly Maybe in the future I'll make it nicer.
About resizing widgets, I am making a paid pro version that will allow resizable widgets, zoomable widgets, unlimited pages of widgets, paced-anywhere-widgets, and some other things I cannot recall. I do this in my free time and need to start profiting off my work. Which is why you see ads in the free version (Even though that doesn't generate a lot of money.

UPDATE: 1/15/15
- Fixed reported crashes.
- Close widgets by pressing any button EXCEPT home and power button.
@elesbb not sure why I decided to give this application a try now as I had it bookmarked for some time, but omg, I've been missing out! anyways, a couple of suggestions on this software. possibility to either move the icon for activation or have it automatically move above the keyboard when trying to the enter password for a locked device. right now when my device requires a password to unlock, the icon for activation kind of gets in the way of the key to the lower left of the screen. would be nice if the activation icon would move itself above the top row of the keyboard when opened or allow one to configure its placement. another suggestion is some way to remove the widgets from the application as there doesn't seem to be a way to remove them once added. not that big of a deal as I figured out four widgets to add, but prior to this I was at a loss to clear ones that I had added.

Hey, just wondering if you could help me get your xposed modules working?
G900V (Verizon)
NK2 stock (rooted)
Galaxy S5 Widgets Module
Samsung Multiple Widgets Module
I've been trying to get the widgets to work while using pattern lock. While set to swipe, I can add, remove, edit, etc the widgets. Set to pattern I press the +, it has me unlock device and then I can choose which widget I want to add. It only adds widgets to the lock screen while set to swipe. Any one else encounter this or know how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!
@elesbb not sure if this default behavior, but it looks like when I activate Widget Pager and leave it open the screen never goes back to sleep...

What good would having your widgets open for you to see them if the screen would just shut off when it feels like it? Its default behaviour. Either shut it off manually or close the widgets. If I didn't add that, people would complain that they couldn't read/interact quickly enough with their widget because the screen kept shutting off.
