hi guys, I'm using samsung galaxy s2 with Widgetlocker for screen locking, but everytime i reboot my phone, widgetlock requires me to unlock twice to see the home screen, i found once i reboot to the lock screen, the first time unlock screen is in tool mode(with menu button activate), then i unlock this screen, the second time unlock screen is the real unlock screen(with no button activate). i want 2 skip the first tool mode screen once i reboot, anyone can tell me how 2 do that?
I'm using WidgetLocker too, you can select the option to override the default Samsung lock at boot, however, you will still see the default Samsung lock for a few seconds when rebooting the phone, but it will go away pretty fast and WidgetLocker will replace it.

yup, i see it too, but the problem is after it overrides the default lock screen, i have to unlock twice to get to the home screen. btw, i'm using go launcher, i tried using ADWlauncher and LauncherPro, no this problem, it may caused by the launcher...
I'm using Easy-wake mode in WidgetLocker which disables default lockscreen. If you don't wanna use that just go to WidgetLocker's advanced settings and disable stock lockscreen, first option from the top
I'm getting the same problem easy wake mode doesn't help - you reboot the phone, it goes straight to widget locker as normal, then u unlock and it drops into tool mode, then u unlock from tool mode, to get to the launcher. However I have noticed that once you get to the launcher nothing displays - oh and something else, when you get to the tool mode it is only then the app requests superuser permission. Very strange.
I'm using Go Launcher Ex as well....
And something else I've noticed that after all this happens, when you deliberately go into tool mode, the menu button no longer works so I now can't get to the settings to submit a bug report
Infact I've had to uninstall and go back to the main lock screen for now until this is fixed...
I have no problem with WidgetLocker, but i gotta agree there are so many settings in it and if you don't choose them correctly WidgetLocker doesn't work the way you want. Even though i can understand English pretty well, i'm having troubles figuring out which option does what
I recommend you go in settings > manage app, delete all the widget locker data, delete widget locker, then reinstall.
With default settings, and my screen lock deactivated in settings, it behaves as expected.

hi, how to set WidgetLocker as default?
when i press the power button, i always need to unlock for 2 times. 1 time for widgetlocker, and 1 time is default screen lock..
Having the exact same issue. I am also using GoLauncher, so maybe there's the problem??
It is very frustrating as I really like this lock screen replacement.

Same here using Go Launcher that's why i use Go Lock screen now pretty slick with Sense theme even though less tweakable...
Try WL Beta 2.2.2+
Using WL 2.2.1 on rooted SG2 never had this issues so far on any firmware. At moment Im on kj3 Dutch. Search in XDA there is a beta WL came out last week or so you may want to try this.

Any info how to make the default froyo lockscreen in portrait ?pls advice
I had to buy WidgetLocker
Lock 2.0 will also force lockscreen to portrait.
Full version
Demo version
LockBot also uses portrait.
Free version
Paid version
I played a bit with LockBot free and it works better if you use something like NoLock to turn off the phone's built-in lockscreen. I'm not using a security lock.
I like LockBot better from the few minutes I tried them out.
Edit: the free version of LockBot has no ads and has three lockscreens you can choose from. It also allows unlocking form the menu button. See attached images for Lockbot free lockscreens.
To choose a theme in the free version open Lockbot from the app tray. Tap My themes. Then hit the menu key and then playlist. In the free version you can pick from the three themes pictured in the attachments. The ones you select will rotate. Select only one if you want the same lockscreen each time.
How do u get lock 2.0 to so lock screen in full mode?

That's my current setup. I changed the backgrounds for the lockscreens to pics of my 3 year old grand kids.
LockBot works with the PowerAmp lockscreen widget, except with the direct unlock setting in PowerAmp. So when I am running PowerAmp I have to unlock twice, which is how I had it setup with the stock lockscreen.
I have widgetlocker, but it irritates me how the first time I try to wake my phone up, the stock lock screen is there and the phone immediately shuts back off. I'll try nolock when I get home, thanks for the info!
Edit: Worked like a charm.

Hi,
Widget Locker is really good however the Home Screen bypasses the security. Howevr you must use the inbuilt lock for it to work. But note, if you have a widgetlocker background for example black then when you go to unlock it you will see your homescreen background which doesnt really fit in? if you know what i mean?
LockBot Pro was really good and my preferred choice however that too bypass security. Even though it has its own Inbuilt Lock. Pressing the Home gets rid of it...apparently it say's its fixed but you can still press the Home and you're in....
---
I downloaded Lock 2.0 which has a inbuilt Lock 4 Digit Pass. Which is what I want however I can't move the slider down. ?? the background pictures shows correctly but then the slider is like half way down the screen.. does anyone have a idea how this works??
Thanks
I didn't like NoLock because the volume and camera keys bring the phone back to life.
I found Screen Mode Widget Lite overcame that problem.

never faced an issues with widgetlocker
I recently rooted my TB and installed the latest CM7 ROM. The only thing that bugs me about the ROM is that when I unlock it after being idle for a few minutes, it always returns to the last app or email or whatever was open before it locked. I would like it to always return to the Home Screen, or Desktop each time it is unlocked. So far, I have not been able to find any setting to make this happen. I was hoping someone might be able to give me a hand with it.
Thanks,
Mark
you could always just download "No Lock" from the market & just use the power on/off button to turn the screen on/off. then you wouldn't have to bother with the lock screen at all. i use that no matter if i'm on sense or aosp. always hated the lockscreen b.s.
Go into cm settings, lockscreen, style options, custom starter app. Set that to be the launcher of your default. Adw is the current defaulted launcher unless you have installed another 3rd party.

You can disable the lockscreen in the cm tablet tweaks settings. No need for 3rd party app.
Thanks for the replies guys. I was hoping to keep the unlock screen appearance the same, without adding more options. I like things to look clean and minimal. However, if it's not possible, then I'll just have to deal with it the way it is.
Thanks,
Mark
Did you ever find a solution?
I too am used to returning to the home screen when I turn my phone on, not the last app I used. Seems like it would be a simple setting...

I just downloaded these app and love how it makes the phone run and look. I have a rooted droid 2 but am not currently using the root for anything. I Have the GO locker app on here with a new lock screen an it almost works great. But every ones-in-a-while the old lock screen will pop up and then i will have to unlock that then the Go locker lock screen.
Any one els use this or know how to fix it. I'm willing to put a custom ROM on my phone but they all look like allot of work to get the same thing that Go launcher does?
Hey, if still unsolved, you can proceed by selecting "Go locker" as the default launcher !
I have one question about go locker, it looks great and works ok, but I can't find out how to change the default screen when someone is calling me. When the phone is locked and I receive the phonecall, it doesn't even show the screen where you have to slide to answer or decline the call, it just shows the default android screen for phonecalls as it would show if the phone was unlocked.
Notification pin
Hello,
Currently I am using Go launcher with Go locker. I have not found any problems recently and enjoy them very much.
However, I am having one annoying little problem and wonder if anyone could please help with this.
I cannot open anything from my notification bar without entering a pin first. Whether it be messaging, apps, or updates.
I briefly remember choosing this option in a menu, but not sure. I have checked system settings/security, GO locker setting/security, and GO launcher settings. I cannot find anywhere to disable this feature . PLEASE HELP AS THIS IS NOW A VERY ANNOYING PROBLEM. !!
Thank You.
I'm using GoLauncher and GoLocker, and sometimes the standard lock screen appears, and then after I drag that away the GoLocker lock screen comes up! I downloaded the app 'NoLock' which fixed the problem perfectly, until I restarted my phone and now the standard lock screen comes up every time I lock my phone!
Solution??
Thanks!
PS: yes, I have GoLocker set as default lock screen...

I didn't have much success with GoLocker.
Give MagicLocker a shot (free)
I actually really liked Widget Locker the best but it is a paid app
I'd also make sure I only had one installed at a time to ensure permissions you've allowed were not causing conflicts.
I have tried several apps that does that but nothing met my expectation.
I settled with the stock one.
Download a jkay theme or supported theme and choose the no lockscreen in its settings.. that's what i use and the stock lockscreen doesn't come up on start up.. or you can also try disabling lockscreen in the security settings..

Having problems with my lockscreens. I'm attempting to substitute Widgetlocker lockscreen for the stock one on my Droid DNA (non-rooted). I'm also having my handcent notification popup show up between the layers of lockscreens.
A quick explanation of what I've done so far:
Created a custom lockscreen with widgetlocker.
Tested it, had 2 lockscreens. (Custom screen, and 3 option pull down screen).
Under the advanced options of Widgetlocker disabled stock lockscreen
Tested, 2 lockscreens still. (Custom screen, and 3 option pull down screen).
Installed NoLock. Enabled no lock mode.
Tested.....THREE lockscreens. (Custom screen, and 3 option pull down screen, and the circle you move to the operation you want screen).
Under Settings -> Personalize, selected No Lock screen
Tested, three lockscreens
Uninstalled NoLock
Tested...2 lockscreens.
At this point I'm at a loss for what to do next to get rid of that stock lockscreen. I would even just give up assuming it can't be done without rooting....EXCEPT, my handcent popup notifications will popup on top of my custom screen, but BELOW the stock on I'm trying to get rid of....this is my 4th Android phone and I've never had it popup under the lockscreen before. Makes me think this is bugged out somehow.
Any help?
I use the settings...personalization..no lock screen route and it works fine. Widgetlocker is the only lockscreen. Maybe undo the "disable stock lockscreen" option through widgetlocker? That's the only thing I can think of. Rest assured it is possible, that's the setup I use. You probably just have some conflicting settings somewhere.

I thought about trying to disable the "disable stock lockscreen" option.....I even went to do it...but it seems it's a one way option. There is no button for undoing it.
My thinking is that it's bugged out somehow.....regardless of how many lockscreens I have, popup notifications should best all of them, right?

You can just remove the lockscreen through adb. You will have the call answering issue...but maybe Chingy will let you use his mod that fixes it.

The more I read and play around with this, the more I think something is wrong - not just a setting that's off.
I uninstalled Widgetlocker, set the Personalize to have a lockscreen.
I checked to make sure that there was indeed a locker, noted which locker, then switched the type under personalize. Checked again....didn't do anything.
So even without any of the custom goodies, the lockscreen isn't working. There has got to be some bug or something here, right?

So I'm a dumbass, as was the expected result....I will share for the benefit of anyone having similar problems (to my shame).
I was using Nova Launcher, but had installed Go Launcher first because that's what I had with my old phone. With Go Launcher came Go Locker. Yeah. I had mistakenly believed that when I had stopped using Go Launcher, it stopped using Go Locker as well.....and it doesn't work that way.
So that lockscreen that I was seeing was actually Go Locker. I wasn't seeing any change when altering the Personalize options because GoLocker was eliminating the stock app without me knowing, putting itself in it's space.
What really threw me for a loop was when I installed Nolock and had THREE lockscreens....it appears that NoLock and GoLocker, each set to disable stock lock, will cancel each other out and allow the stock lock to run.....while not preventing themselves from making an appearance. If that makes sense. So I had GoLocker, Widgetlocker, and the stock lock all running at once......Go me!
Anyway, hope that helps someone.
