I installed WidgetLocker (which I used on my old hacked HTC HD2). I've found one issue that disturbs me. If I turn on the SII with the Home button and press the same button a second time, the phone unlocks. I don't want the phone to unlock without a very deliberate action on my part. Does anyone know how to disable the Home button unlock "feature"?
Thanks.

Widgetlocker settings > Buttons & inputs > Allow menu button. Untick that option and i think it should do what you want.
Yep
Settings>Buttons & Inputs>scroll down and uncheck 'allow home button'
That should do it

Go to setting --> Advanced --> HomeHelper
Use HomeHelper and set the HomeHelper launcher to whatever home launcher you prefer. Then check HomeHelper Block Home. This ensures that it won't unlock if you click the home button again. Remember to use WL HomeHelper as your default Home Launcher.
If you want to return to lockscreen after you're done with an app (that you launched from WL, then check "Block Home in other app" aswell.

Have you tried hitting the "Clear Defaults" button in whatever homescreen you are using?
Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>[Whatever home you are using currently]>Clear Defaults.
That should let you bring it up again (don't check "Use this by default" when it comes up or else you'll lose it again)

good suggestion bro. cheers
Really annoying! Any ideas?
What I have mine set like,
Under softkeys settings:
Softkeys Service >
- Run Service - Unchecked
- Run at Boot - Unchecked
Virtual Home Button >
- Normal/Long Press - Launcher Pro (Or whatever Launcher you prefer)
Physical Home Button >
- Set Single Tap to Softkeys, Double to Launcher
Other settings are tailored to Taste/Preference.
What this will do is disable the Popper button (which I hated) but allow you to see the Softkeys menu whenever you tap the N button, and straight to your homescreen with a double tap. This will disable the DPad thing along with it.
Long press the popper

Hi,
I've tried to do this but now my N button does not perform any action. I used home switcher to make soft keys my default launcher, but the N button is not working at all. It does, however, wake up the NC from sleep, but once the NC is on, the N button stops working. Can you help me with this?
Im on a simple rooted NC (using BN 1.1) with autonooter and I have Zeam and Softkeys installed.
I'm on StreakDroid 1.9 and it's driving me nuts, I can't find it!
You know when you hold the HOME key to bring up most recent apps? I'm trying to configure mine to sip as less juice as possible.
'Settings > sound > haptic feedback' to disable completely.

That doesn't disable the holding HOME button vibration. I would like to know how to do this as well.

Thanks but for some weird reason, that doesn't disable haptic feedback when you long press the HOME key?

Actually it does in some way..
If you hold the Home button for ~ 1 - 1.5s it wouldn't vibrate, but if you hold it longer than say 1.5s it would vibrate ( found it very annoying too), both will give you the recent app menu.
My fix is to use Prehome (from market, set Prehome to default launcher and set your preferred launcher in prehome), instead of holding Home button, you can double tap it to bring up the recent menu

Thanks, that's a decent workaround.
I'm currently running the latest version of widgetlocker on my nexus s 4g and it works like a dream only problem I'm having is if I'm at my home screen & i press the home button, then immediately the sleep button, then the sleep button again immediately to unlock my phone; widget locker doesn't load and i go directly to my home screen and this message box pops up:
"widgetlocker delayed by android due to recent home button press"
anyone know what could be happening? if i press the home button, press my sleep button, wait a few seconds, then press it again to unlock it works fine...
seems like if i try to unlock my phone too soon after i press the home button i get the error..
UPDATE:
i emailed the app developer about this and i just received the response... i followed his instructions and my problem is fixed.. here is his official response:
Android does not allow a background app to come to the foreground within 5 seconds of the Home button being pressed. If you are rooted you can enable WL Settings > Advanced > Root Helper to bypass this. Otherwise just don't press home, off, on, all within 5 seconds.
-Kevin
That, I believe, is being caused by the Android 5 second rule. If you look in the setting for WidgetLocker there is a way around that, but you will be setting WL to be the homescreen and WL will call forth your launcher. There is also a root method too, if you are rooted.

What is the method of doing it if your phone is not rooted? (i.e. what do I have to press after selecting Settings?

I would also like to know this.
widgerlocker home helper
The setting is in the advanced section it is called home helper.
You make home helper default home and then select witch launcher you want home helper to use.
I enjoy that it is easy to access the themer menu easily, but it triggers very frequently when I am using the dialer widget. Is there any way to disable the menu?
Have had same issue as have others m8,the developers are looking into it
For the moment, you can uncheck "Lock homescreen Widgets" in Advanced Settings > Desktop, I think that's a little bit more slowly to appear.

The problem is that Themer has "double tap" for Themer Menu in the Gestures. When using the Dialer widget you type the first 2 numbers and it thinks you double tapped. Wish I could disable this gesture.

Hi,
Hold down on the homescreen - Themer Settings - Gestures - Double Tap - select the "X" at the top of the screen. Done

Well I find that it triggers much too easy as only a long press menu as well. In your case, just disable the double tap gesture in the settings.
But yea, that menu is popping up all the time for me when I don't want it to. Would like more settings for this. I have it set to pop up with long press on the home button. That is good enough for me. No need for it on the screen. An option to disable would be great.
Also would like an option to get rid of the red X on long presses when widgets are unlocked.
