I have my widget locker all configured to my liking and such, but when I press the power button to turn off the screen, it shuts off but then instantly comes back on again. Basically I have to press power twice in order to achieve screen off status.
I'm wondering if there is somewhere in the settings I did this or can fix this? I'll reset and start all over if necessary, but was hoping someone here could help me.
Hmm... sounds odd man. I never had that issue and I have been playing with it for a bit. My best guess is you may have Easy Wake on in the settings. That will wake your phone when you touch Home, Menu, Back, or Search. Maybe your palm is hitting those buttons when you hit the power button??
If that's not it I would start over...
Nah man Easy Wake is unchecked as well as everything in that section. I really wish someone would have a fix for this. I guess I'll start all over and then post if I'm still having the problem.
Haven't reset everything yet, and I'm just noticing some more problems. If I press the volume rocker up or down while the screen is off it turns the screen on. Also sometimes when I turn the screen off, after about 5 seconds it'll randomly turn back on. This is similar to my original post problem, but the screen waits longer to come back on. Anyone use Widget Locker on your ThunderBolt and have success with it? I'm having nothing but problems.
1) Go ahead and go into applications under the main phone settings clear all Widgetlocker data. What you're describing is Easy Wake mode though you say that it unchecked. WL's settings might have gotten screwy and clearing the data should set it straight.
2) Go into the advanced settings of WL and make sure that you haven't disabled the notification icon. For some reason the old sense lock screen would cause issues if I had that checked.
3) Are you rooted? If so go into the advanced settings of WL and make sure Root Helper is checked.
Let me know what happens.
Shoot kevin an email. Hell get back to you quick. Very responsive dev.
working fine on my TB, not that it helps you any lol.
Seems as though my problems have gone away by simply disabling my security pattern.
mob87 do you use a security patter/pin/password with widget locker? Does anyone else?
Any one have any suggestions on how to get my security pattern/pin to work with Widget Locker?

I am having the same issues as the OP, will clearing all the data as described above, wipe everything that I have configured for the lock screen and I will have to start all over or not?
Also what does selecting "Root Helper" in advanced settings actually do?

Yes, it will clear all wl data and you will have to reconfigure your lockscreen. As far as roothelper I've never used wl so I really don't know, hopefully someone else can help you with that

I'm on a rooted Desire HD and I'm having the exact same issue with the screen coming back to life immediately after pushing the power button. I'm forced to have a PIN due to Exchange security settings.
I'll report the issue to the dev.
im having the same issue on m HTC desire. and im using Password pin protection as well.
i tried clearing the widgetlocker data/ downloaded the new superuser app from market and even reinstalled the app but still i can't find the solution.
if anyone has the update on this please let me know.
Anyone come up with a solution to this? I have an Inc2 with the issue. I also have to have a PIN for my Exchange server, so I imagine that's what's causing it. But, it's quite annoying and it'd be nice to have a fix.
Short Answer:
This happens on some HTC devices if the PIN activates immediately after the screen goes off, it will not happen if you delay the pin by either:
System Settings > Security > Lock screen after > 3 Minutes
or
WidgetLocker Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > HTC > HTC Lock Delay > 10 (seconds).
Long Answer:
WidgetLocker actually never turns the screen on by itself, however it does activate at screen off. HTC's pin screen on some (mainly newer) devices will wake the screen if something happens after the pin has activated. So WidgetLocker activating trigger's HTC's pin to wake the screen. (Ugh). But if it's delayed then it's no such issue. I haven't found a non-delayed solution to this yet. WidgetLocker's setting does the same thing as HTC's, however WidgetLocker lets you enter the number of seconds as whatever you want. Less than 10 seconds may work, but 10 seconds seems to consistently work across different devices and configurations and it's still really short so I'd recommend that.

Hello all
i got the new update from samsung for my galaxy s3, now i have this multiview ribbon on the screen.
I do not need nor like the multiview, how can i disable that ribbon completely ?
Regards
Lorien
Long Press Back button to get rid of the ribbon..if you want to completely disable it..theres a toggle in notification panel..turn if off! Good Day!
Hold down back or Settings -> Display -> Multview -> Untick.
Oooh thats great. I would have never come to this idea with the back button.
Problem solved, thanks guys !
Hi.
First of all, thanks to abhi922 for this great ROM. It is really light and cute.
I've read the thread in Development section, and I know how difficult it was to implement the lockscreens in this ROM, so it can be a little ironic that I want to disable them entirely, and even remove them to get a little more space. I can not find a way to disable them from the Simplicity options, it just let me choose between locks. It is possible to get rid of the them?
The other question is whether there is any way that the volume buttons do not wake up the screen. I use a lot the music player (PowerAmp), and I don't like having to turn off the screen every time I go up or low volume. I`ve read that PowerAmp don't do this, but in my case, it does.
Thanks in advance.

For first,
First go to simplicity settings enable all 15 toggels
In that you will see Lock toggel just off it your lockscreen will get disabled .

Yes, I have activated the toggle in the status bar. But is there anything more ... permanent? Do not know if it's normal, but I have to use the lockscreen toggle every time my phone restarts. It seems to work much like the "no lock" app: does not disable the lockscreen, only prevents it activates.
So I wanted to know if it is possible to get rid of the lockscreen, or is that Android simply does not allow it, and now I have to spend the rest of my life (or more like... phone life) inactivated it every time I turn on the phone. I know it is not that bad, but well... yep.
Ok, I think I've made it (at least disable screen wake from volume keys, for lockscreen I'm still using "no lock" until I find another way to get rid of it)..
I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086526) and downloaded the file in the first post, but doesn't work for me. It seems that disabled lockscreen and avoid volume keys to wake up screen are not compatible. You have to choose one -_-
But reading the rest of the thread get me this idea and it works:
I've open /system/usr/keylayout with my root explorer and edited all the files that have VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN on them (in my case, bcm_headset.kl, qwerty.kl, sec_key.kl and sec_keypad.kl).
The thing is that you have to delete the word WAKE from each VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN that you find.
Mi lockscreen is desactivated (with "no lock" app) and my screen doesn't wake up anymore with the volume keys AT ALL
Thanks to DocRambone and aydc for the ideas. And to Hitesh2626 for your attention.
Since i recently got my OneplusX and use teamspeak quite a bunch, i was wondering how the hell do i disable a longpress on my headset. Everytime i long-press

Thanks in advance!

Hi, go under settings -> buttons -> Home button, set longpress to no action
maybe this helps
Hey bud!,
I tried that, its still starting google voice thingy when i hold my button on my cord
Disable the "App Google", you will get rid of Google Crap Now, the omnipresent search bar, the long press-listen and all.
Notably, you will also loose voice recognition that goes as input method (when the keyboard is present) that's the only thing I find useful.
I tried shutting off the google app in "Currently Executed" apps, but it keeps coming back
Removing from recent app's makes nothing...
Go into Settings -> Apps -> "all" tab -> search for App Google and click "disable"
you can flash othere roms the othere rom can remove the google search
I really don't need to dismiss "on body location" yet one more time. Is there a way to turn off these things that appear unbidden at the top of Settings?
I'd like to stop these annoying messages too. Anyone know how to turn them off?

It took me awhile, but I think I've come across the solution.
First, you need to set up some kind of screen lock (not just swipe). I just used a "z" pattern. Next, tap on that annoying nag at the top of settings. This will lead you to some blah-blah. You need to enable this useless feature (which probably does not work on the NT anyway....) and then reboot.
Return to Settings>Security and look for "Smart Lock". Disable on-body-location. Now go back to your screen lock setting and return it to what it was (swipe, in my case). Reboot.
So essentially you need to enable the feature, reboot, disable the feature, reboot, and you're good to go.
Go to Settings and if the nag is still there use the three dots to banish it. It's gone for good :laugh:
That worked. Thanks a ton for the tip!
