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.

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.

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!

hi [email protected]
Thank you very much for this amazing application.
I use launcherpro and the live wallpaper don't work really good with.
Can you add in alternative wallpaper, an option to choose live wallpaper???
It's will be great if we can used LW ownskined.
I dunno if this is pretty well-known or not, I do see a few threads in the Galaxy S II section, but I figured I'd let more people know since I just randomly found this on the market.
For those looking for a replacement to their stock lockscreen(and those craving the Honeycomb Lockscreen), SunPengfei brings us Ripple Lock on the Android Market!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free
There's a bit of customization that can be done and so far everything's worked pretty well for me. You can change the font color, style, and size. There's the ability to have app shortcuts as well.
The free version does sport an ad at the top, but there is a paid version you can buy. I'll stick to the free version myself, just waiting until the quality is a little better, but who knows, I might just purchase it anyways. It's only a buck and some change.
I think it's a great compliment to any honeycomb theme out there.
P.S. Would this be better in Themes? I dunno.

Hmm... seems interesting I'll try it out
I have to say it is quite impressive and fast-ish on the Wildfire :]
It looks nice but it maybe consume battery!

Yeah I thought about that, I've been all over my phone messing with Go Launcher and stuff, so I can't give a good reading, but I'll probably charge to full later and I'll take a look.
If anybody else decides to try it out, let us know!
I ran it for a few hours then it became very unreliable.
Sent from my X10x using XDA Premium App
I had it for a week or so, and noticed it unreliable too (2.2.2)
Its pretty, and more convenient to "unlock" being able to drag the circle any-which-way you want... but meh.
Doing ok for me so far, but I'm hoping for updates to make it more reliable as well. I did read a few comments with some gripes, but I think it's got potential.
What ended up happening with it for you guys? Was it that 'double lock' thing?
The circle would get "stuck". Had to cycle the lockscreen (via power button) a few times to get it to reset and work. Also found it sluggish at times.
Overall, I thought it was good, if those problems were not there.. but at the end of the day, if its eating even a moment of extra battery, its simply not worth it for me.

EDIT: Actually, now that I'm on the computer I can see your sig. Ah well!
Works very well on my SGSII. Looks awesome with HC theme.
Make sure none of the app shortcuts are broken, define a background image and make sure to set ALL options.
it wasn't until I did that that it started working good. REAL good. now I can have my camera loaded up faster than my stock lockscreen would unlock on my DX2
much faster and more useful than stock 2.2 lockscreen.
the honeycomb lockscreen from lockbot is better...
Works well except for the power button not turning the phone back on. Have to push the volume buttons to get the phone turned on to unlock.
Nexus S 4G with CM7 nightly.
You can also use lockbot, I'm not trying to troll but I've used both lockscreen replacements and lockbot seems more like the original honeycomb lockscreen. There is a free and pro version.
Check it out.
-Remember, Android hell is a real place and you will be sent there at the first sign of defiance-
sadly it randonmly works on my x10, using 2.1 version, dunno what's wrong
sometimes it won't change to this lockscreen it gets back to the original one and worst to restart
Inspire 4g with cm7.1.0-rc1 and adw ex. It runs great except for one thing. That thing is after not locking or unlocking the phone for a while it seems that the os is reclaiming the memory as it will load the home screen when you unlock and then after a second or two it will load the lock screen, title bar and all

This is awesome! took a little prodding to get it to work, but i love it!
and i tried lockbot free, but it sucks
EDIT: ok, so, using for a couple hours, i really hate the fact that the volume buttons will turn on the screen on. and, if i don't have it silenced, beep. Its really annoying, and i may end up just uninstalling it if it bugs me too much.
Free version is compatible with the Dell Streak, but paid version is not. I bought the paid version while using a captivate for a couple of days and when I went back to my Streak could not install the paid version. I ask the dev about it and sent information verifying my purchase and the response was that it is Google's fault. Won't fix the issue and won't refund.
Edit: I am on a stock ROM, so it's not because of some strange configuration.
Was looking for a 3.0 style lockscreen for stock 2.3.4 Incredible and am loving this app. Paid $1.43 for the full version and well worth it imo (would steer clear of downloading the 3 chinese apps to get it free as some of those apps have viruses but this app itself is clean). Still got a few minor bugs like the imbedded music controls don't work but thats about it. Able to put clickable widgets on the lockscreen and having the status bar open and running means I no longer have any reason to unlock the phone lol. Got a 4x1 5 day weather widget and a 4x1 default music player widget that all function properly.
If you like the vanilla agile lock, wait till you see my mods....I can only post the agilelock free, otherwise it is illegal. Those apps contain viruses? How did you find that out? I know they are all Chinese, and I can't read them. Will have the mods up in the theme section tonight....
Edit- Just tried googling the answer, and lookout doesn't seem to find anything. If you were to download the apps, and then flash a fresh install of cm7, or whatever, would the viruses still be there?

Theres also a thread under the general android section discussing this app and people who had downloaded some of the chinese apps found they contained viruses. So everyone knows what we are talking about theres a thing in the agile lock app that if you download 3 free chinese apps you will get agile lock for free. Not all of the free apps have viruses but people need to be aware of what possibly could happen. Just easier to pay the $1.43 and play it safe. Some people just quickly download the 3 apps to get the free version then uninstall them right away and have had no problems but its hit and miss. The viruses would be gone if you did a full wipe and then fresh install of cm7.
I'd like to see what you've done with it as its pretty cool as it is but could use a little work still. Dev responds to emails quickly and updates it fairly often from what I've seen.
Thanks guy, I have heard it both ways. In the process of uploading right now, but have a files, and pictures. should be up in an hour or so. Glad to know that a full flash would rectify the problem. I have the paid version, that i have themed for myself, but also tried the download method so I could tell people if it O.K. or not. I know it says not to share any of your info with the downloaded apps. Just download them, and open them. This is the one thing about a closed garden that I can appreciate. Other than that, Crapple can keep their itunes. This is my first attempt at theming, so right now it is just the ring. As I progress, I might change up the dock bar, and the other stuff. Will post you a update when they are here.
Wow this is old.
Well, i finally got them up for you to see. I think they are right above your topic in themes. Hey Toked up, thought you might like the tool one I made. I am a huge fan as well. Also have 2 happy leaves made with you in mind.
Hows the performance on this? I am using Nils Business Sense 2.1/3.0 right now, and i'm about to switch to stock+ As i would like faster speeds, Love the ROM, but... ugh. so much RAM used, So much slower..
sometimes you have to fiddle with the setting to make sure you don't have a double lockscreen, but other than that, it eats about 11 megs of RAM. If you are on stock, or even better, cm7, you will have plenty of Ram.

Yes its old but I spent days searching for info on 3.0 locksreens for stock sense before I found the old thread in apps and games. Thought I'd save others some time if they are interested in the same thing and post it here too. Plus the app was just updated the other day to work better with gingerbread 2.3.4 on the Inc. The old version, 1.7.1, you couldn't put widgets on the lockscreen it would force close and now thats fixed. Still get issues with double lockscreens occasionally, like at first boot and then at random times but nothing too major.

My settings says the app is using 888 KB. Haven't seen any noticeable excess draws on power or performance.
The free version shows that it is pulling 5.3 MB in RAM in running services. The full Version shows 7.2 MB in running services.

Really like Kzoodroid said, it doesn't effect much in power, or processing.
Okay didn't look in running services, mine is 8.2 MB, its slightly higher probably because I have 2 widgets running on it.

They look cool dude, especially the Grateful Dead one. Just haven't had a chance to try them out yet.
You guys think that HTC will get this blocked for patent violation like they did the weather/clock apps that were out there on the market? Or is that a feature they don't have patented?
not sure if htc could sue, i thought apple held the patents for lockscreens and was suing htc? in any case even if it was blocked from the market you could still find it somewhere else especially since its a chinese app and they don't honor u.s. patents.

ive noticed a stronger LTE connection.. Touchless Control is more responsive in louder environments. I like being able to switch launchers with ease.. I go from the stock moto launcher to kit kat to nova so easily to show customers (i work for a Verizon Indirect retailer)

- The status bar transparency (only enabled by default on the lockscreen, though Nova supports it as well) is kinda cool, but it also looks kinda dumb since Verizon made Motorola keep the icons blue istead of white for some reason.
- On the bright side, I can now see the battery percentage inside the icon at all times since it's white-on-blue instead of white-on-white like on Nexus devices.
- I like how it now displays full-screen album art on the lockscreen while music is playing (though now I'll have to put some time into higher-res artwork)
- Being able to select my launcher directly from the system settings is pretty convenient.
- The drag-to-focus update for the camera is a pretty cool.
- I enabled ART but honestly didn't notice too much a difference, and had to revert back to Dalvik due to WhatsApp being incompatible with ART.
(Minor) downsides:
- The battery icon is no longer aligned with the signal bars
- The notification icons are still blue
- No KitKat dialer (yet?)
- No camera icon with on the lockscreen

Just a reply, after you enable battery percentage, you can remove the app and the change stays. Seems like all Android devices 4.4 can do the percent naively, this just toggles this setting.
Wonder what other hidden settings are in KitKat.

One plus is that I lost root lol. I need it as everybody else!
I'm a Fitbit user and take a lot of pictures. For me, the update (Fitbit support and touch-to-focus) obviously makes an everyday difference.
I use MX Player while I exercise, almost every day. Immersive mode with it is nice. More apps will have to adopt this before it becomes something I really care about. The thing where the lockscreen has music art is more of a noticeable design upgrade. Together, the immersive thing, lockscreen art, and transparent notification (I actually hide mine, though) make for the beginnings of a feeling of a polished and cool UX.
The thing to do would be to get two phones next to each other, one with the update and one without, and see if the updated one really is snappier (including task switching).
EDIT - Totally forgot: The wireless charging sound respecting my volume setting as well as the volume coming back on in the morning after Assist finishes sleep mode are huge. SO glad to have those issues resolved.
Yeah, so after a ton of fear of making the move to 4.4 Completely worth it.
When it started booting back up and rooted still (YAY) 4.4 is amazing.
Gravitybox + Xtheme (nexus 5 theme), you really can't tell the difference.
Just cant wait for Xposed to support ART. every reboot switches back to Dalvik
Another downside to 4.4 if not rooted is it removes native USB OTG. Menova USB drive no longer works without 3rd party software. Kinda pissed about this one.

Title says it all! I have a 4 day weekend coming up and my brain has been itching to develop a new rom.
With that being said, there are a few great roms out there (Misterxtc, Optimal Rom, Alliance Rom etc.) as well as the BL still being locked which limits what to come out with next.
This thread is for thoughts/requests of what YOU want to see in a ROM that is of course possible to do (Retail version S5.)
Please try to include stuff that is unique since I of course will do the basics such as lightly debloat (I will leave most in unlike my Symbiote Syndicate builds), native hotspot, toggles etc.
I will do my best to bring everything possible!
It will be a ROM for the people, by the people!
I will start on it Wed night!
Thanks for the input!

Maybe create some scripts to enable to disable each Verizon/Samsung features individually
Classic list of MODs baked into the files (no Xposed)
Tethering enabled, Read/Write SD Card, Flashlight, more Toggles, 3-way reboot,etc...

by script you mean to disable/enable samsung/vzw apks? the odexer should be easy and some note 4 stuff should b as well and the other stuff i was planning on it! not sure where i want to take the theming (extreme syndicate was black/white)
Just please keep the Verizon visual voice mail in the ROM...lol
Welcome back! Just downloaded syndicate again and was reading through everything. Kinda amazes me the reactions of some people.

- I think we can do better than just freezing or uninstalling an apk, in some case there are some .lib and other files left behind, a set of scripts/SS/recovery flashable zip file that will remove or add back the feature and associated files.
- I'm thinking very light theming, just the default holo backgrounds to pure black and maybe the notifications to something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
.
What about porting some simple xposed modules to native code ?
ill definately look into it! I know I changed icons and use blurred xposed module for notification window and i think it looks great! of course im also on my themed rom
if you want to see the icons im using look for moonshine icons on the play store
I'm definitely interested in Note4 functionality... The multi window, it would be cool to have the drag down function from the top right corner. Does that require things like the Note4 Camera and whatnot since only certain apps allow it? Action memo and S Note are great.

i will definitely look into what note 4 functionality i can bring!
One feature id like if possible on a touchwiz ROM would be the ability to pulldown the different panels based on the side of the status bar you pull down on... ie pull down on the left side and get notifications, pull down on right side and get toggle panel
Also maybe the option to not have the row of toggles on the notifications panel...
I would like to see the option to change status bar icons with a long list of different icons also be able to move all status bar icons. Also I would like to be able to change the icons and background of power menu. Maybe add 3minit battery mod and 3d toggles(from tulsadiver) Add option to change boot animations and sounds. I will think of a few more I'm sure

I'm slowly working on the ROM:
Based off Misterxtc latest ni2 with working art.
Has everything there plus note 4 themed settings, weather widget, my files, lockscreen, calculator etc.
Phone/contacts is next.. Need to fix FC on systemui, messages, & Bluetooth from settings
Settings have native app opps, download booster, torch toggles
Slightly debloated but everything intact just as stock
I plan on including the ps4 remote play port from the Xperia z3 as well
Im going to put a modded camera apk, build.prop tweaks, themed keyboard, some bootanimation, change sounds to note 4. I also plan to theme later on and looking at more stuff that is beneficial to the ROM. It'll be a beast but still maintain all stock features and be under 1gb
Later on custom lock status removed (I'm procrastinating with this
