Should have something about custom levels, set all of the key levels to 0.
When you reboot, you'll need to enable auto brightness, if you aren't using it, for a second and then you can disable it again and then they should stay off till you reboot again.

I used to have Widget Locker before I started rooting and using custom ROMs on my EVO 4G, and it worked very well.
I have tried CM7 and Gingerbread-EVO-Deck(1.2), and both have issues with Widget Locker. This first is that not all widgets function properly. I can deal with that and make adjustments. The second, however, is that the "native" unlock screen stays active, so that I actually have to unlock and then unlock again to access the phone. Any ideas for fixes? Or is this just an incompatability with AOSP Gingerbread ROMs?

Ok, here's where it gets tricky, but not so much.
I found a way to make the WidgetLocker lockscreen completely replace the stock lockscreen and to make the volume keys work without waking the phone.
A little background info: The stock lockscreen is what prevents the volume buttons from turning on the screen (ie when you're highering/lowering volume of music with the screen off). Once you disable the stock lockscreen, using the volume keys will turn on the screen. Here's how to fix everything:
1. Disable the stock lockscreen in CyanogenMod/Advanced Settings -> Tablet Tweaks -> Disable lockscreen.
2. In WidgetLocker settings, go into, I believe the Behavior menu, and check the Allow Volume Control (or whatever it's called).
3. Download ButtonRemapper. Open it up and find Volume Up and Volume Down. It'll say "W" next to them. Change it to NONE. Hit apply, your phone will Hot Reboot. Even if you decide to stop using WidgetLocker and use the stock lockscreen instead, you shouldn't need to change these back since the stock lockscreen disables volume button waking anyway.
4. Enable Root Helper in WidgetLocker settings so that there isn't a delay when turning the screen on and off.
The only "issue" is that when you first turn on/reboot the phone, you'll hit the homescreen, since the homescreen is disabled and WidgetLocker starts up after the phone turns on. But that's it. After that, everything works perfectly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which widgets aren't behaving properly? There are some settings in WidgetLocker to disable the "Dragging Disabled" tooltip and to adjust widget space and disable widget interaction, etc. Just look through; it took me a while to notice.

Thanks a bunch, I'll try those sugggestions out.
Tried disabling the lock screen, seemed to work. The only trouble with this solution is that disabling the lock screen also disables the security (passcode/password).
Thanks again.

There's definitely a way to use a password, although I don't know if it requires disabling the lockscreen. It's in the WidgetLocker FAQ.

Cool, I found it.
With non-Sense, the WidgetLocker will hit the second unlock screen if you use a password/passcode. It will work with an unlock pattern, however.
In my case, this doesn't really help, as my work e-mail requires a password/passcode, and does not allow patterns.
Thanks, again.
First, I want to give a big thanks to those who bring awesome 4.3 ROMs to Atrix 2 community
Second, this is a temporary solution to deal with screen rotation bug on 4.3 kexec
There're a lot of app that can force rotate, but I think the fastest way is hold down search key and the screen will rotate right away:
1. switch style to cycle
2. cycle setting > disable switch: choose auto rotate
3. tick Long press search

Many thanks!
I'm a new Relay user and I can't use CM-10 (need wifi calling) so I'm trying to make the best out of the stock ROM Rooted. I don't like that the keyboard backlight goes out after a few seconds and doesn't seem to even have a sensor to keep it on in dark rooms so I re-downloaded the Tasker App from the Play Store which I haven't used in a while.
To get the keyboard to stay on when slid open I had to do the following:
1. Open Tasker.
2. Choose [Profiles] from the top menu.
3. Click the [plus sign] at the bottom to add a new profile and select [State] from the drop down.
4. Select [Hardware] from the State Category menu.
5. Select [Keyboard Out] from the list of choices here.
6. Tap on the Tasker Icon at the top of the screen and select [Backlight On] from the popup menu.
7. Make sure the toggle switch is set to on for your new profile.
8. Now go to you phone's Sytem Settings > Display > Touch Key Light Duration > and select Always Off (This will allow tasker to take control and have the keyboard backlight stay on when slid open but the Relay's back and menu keys will no longer light up. I can live with this to have my keyboard light on when typing.
9. If this didn't work, make sure Tasker is set to on in System Settings > Accessibility
BTW if someone knows a better way to accomplish this please share.
Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm using Nova Launcher. I think with the Touchwiz Launcher, apps that use accessibility cause Talkback to speak even if you have it turned off. I could be wrong about that but I had problems with the Light Flow app and accessibility before.
Nice
Good tip. the lights going out bugged me too.
please help. cant find menu with backlight on
Can't find menu with backlight on. Please help.
hey there,
i just figured out how to do this with a non-rooted phone on ics without tasker.
go to settings, display and touch key light duration. increase it to 6 seconds and that will give you enough time to type..
Weird.
I'm on CM10.2 (131117) and since I set the backlight time (in CM10.2 1309xx, I think) to 5 seconds it will always stay on if I open the hardware keyboard.
Maybe I should write me something with tasker to change this in the opposite direction :laugh:
Is there any way to edit what widgets/settings are shown with the 2 finger swipe? I want to add auto rotation so I don't have to go to settings then display and then switch back to my app.

Rooted? If so, Xposed Framework + Gravity Box can do it. If not, Power Toggles would probably be your best bet. Although Power Toggles won't allow you to edit the quick settings tiles, you should still be able to put toggles in your notification pull down menu (1 finger pull down).

Just root it and get Cataclysm which is really close to stock.
I've just updated to CM 13 and realized that my phone could be unlocked without any lock screen displaying. Previously, I had a pattern set for my OPO so I was surprised the OTA update removed it. Undeterred, I tried every type of lock option to no avail. It saves the pattern, PIN or password as it requests for it whenever I return to the options screen. However, pressing the power button or double tapping the status bar only blanks out the screen. Pressing the power button or double tapping the screen immediately unlocks my phone, thus bypassing any unlock mode that I've set. Any ideas or anyone facing this strange issue?
Am I the only one facing this problem?
@uninformeduser
Pull down the status bar until you see the quick toggles then do this:
1. "Edit tiles"
2. + (on the top right)
3. add the "Lock screen" tile
It should be grey now (inactive). Tap on it to enable the lockscreen again.
This tile disables the lockscreen, regardless of your security setting.
If this method does not help, I guess your only help will be a factory reset.

Great! Now the lock screen works as expected. Strange that the lock screen tile is auto selected after an OTA upgrade and no indication in the settings as well (until I toggled the tile off and back on again).
Offtopic: Gesture typing on android keyboard is not working anymore.

Can't tell you much as I use CM13 and won't switch to COS13.
Check the keyboard settings, there should be an option for gesture typing.

Yup, first thing I did was to head there and toggle gesture typing. No luck there and no idea how it got broken as it stopped working after the OTA update.
