Couple questions for those who have experience with this launcher.
Is it possible to disable the launcher I already have? Because right now I have to unlock my phone twice. In addition is there anyway to use widget locker while still keeping the QQ Launcher unlock? I love that circle idea I just want to customize the screen around it.
Thanks!
Bump anyone?

you are not going to be able to use widget locker to customize the qq lock screen. Two totally separate apps. But, you can use widget locker to get rid of your other lock screen. Go into Widget Locker and disable it, then under advance settings enable easy wake. Now you should only have the qq launcher lock screen. You may have to reboot, can't remember.

When I go to the widget screen to select a widget, I have to go through many screens before I find the one I want. The widget screen contains widgets I will never use.
Does anyone have any idea how to remove the unwanted widgets?
Thanks in advance
Hi All,

You can, with the Pro version.

Hi,
I have a widget which I want on all my screens, and so far the only way I can do that is by adding that widget 5 times, once for each screen.
I was wondering if there was a way to add that widget onto the dock so its always there.
So, how did you manage to add the widget on the dock?
Please advice...

On Nova Launcher I think you can add them, but it has to be a 1x1 widget. Same for Apex Pro.

Ok this may be quite late but in Apex Launcher Pro:
Get into "Apex Settings" then
"Advanced settings" then
"Widget settings" then
"Widgets in dock" then
tick the tick box then
drag and drop your chosen 1x1 widget from the home screen to the dock i.e. add one to you home screen first.
I absolutely love the ripple effect unlock on the S3 - But I kinda hate the lockscreen itself (bad quality image for the wallpaper, ugly clock, non-customized icons for shortcuts, etc...).
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could either customize the S3 lockscreen and use my own clock widgets and/or icons OR somehow get the ripple effect unlock over to my WidgetLocker screen...?
I'd probably just prefer to use the ripple unlock in WidgetLocker.

Not sure on this, widgetlocker is great, but I find it causes wakelocks which isn't helpful. I just wish there was a way to what shortcuts show on the stock lockscreen, and wish it showed todays calendar appointments. That would make it pretty close to perfect without dealing with widgetlockers battery drain issue.
Fwiw, I notice that widget locker constantly asks for your location in the permissions log... Not widget related as I had nothing on the screen just a slider. Guessing that is what causes the wakelock'ing

You can change what shortcuts on lockscreen. Settings. Security. Lock screen options. Short cuts

Awesome, thanks for that.... Now if we could only get Calendar appointments to display, maybe a dev will work it out. Although probably just use the AOKP / CM lockscreen if that's the case when the time comes.
Install water drops plus from the play store and choose whichever wallpaper you like to put under the water and you can use it with widget locker.. Maybe add a transparent slider for now also... That's the best thing I can think of

Disable automatic drops in settings so it only ripples on touch unless yu like it automatic.. Just play around with it..

Heh i sent the author of WidgetLocker an email the other day talking about this very thing....
I not only like the ripple effect but the slider itself being able to be used from ANYWHERE on the screen is nice.
Usually WidgetLocker is very good about adding features and fixing issues in the past.. the only reason I can see him not being able to do something like this would be due to restrictions with the OS itself.
As for the suggestion on waterdrops.. that's great if you don't already use a LiveWallpaper If you use a Livewallpaper like I do, you cannot have 2 of them running at once (one for the lockscreen and one for the normal phone operation).
Hi there. I have a galaxy s3 since a mounth or two and i have a contact that i call 20 or 25 time per day.
I want to know if there is a HACK or a MOD to integrate a direct call shortcut to the original lockscreen of the S3.
Thanks
I'm not sure about a hack/mod for the stock lock screen - someone else will hopefully clue you in about that.
Failing that though you could replace the stock lock screen with Widgetlocker which will allow you to add custom shortcuts and widgets (such as a direct dial widget for instance) to the lock screen.

Thanks for your reply. Hope in next Version Samsung will include this option in the stock ROM

I know this is old topic but Samsung did no changes to solve the problem. I wanted to keep original lock screen and be able to launch shortcuts from it, so I wrote an app for it. Application can be mapped with any shortcut, so when you press app icon it works like pressing shortcut icon. Unfortunately there is no possibility to change app icons, so I put launcher icons with different numbers on it.
Application is called Shortcut Launcher. You can download it from Google Play.
And if you don't want to install stuff, you could just add a call contact widget on the homescreen, you would still have to unlock it but it's some steps quicker
You can also use the ROM SlimBean, it has the option to add widgets to the lockscreen
Hi,
I really love the look of the TouchWiz Widgets-
I found several touchwiz exclusives...
- Weather
- Calendar
- Location
- Magnifier
And I really love my Action Launcher 3. But I cannot have those widgets on Action Launcher...
Of course, I can install the 3rd party apps. But Weather widget will not be coherent with the weather in my lock screen and edge screen.
I am not going to get the Magnifier widget.
I googled a lot but I couldn't find the solution. Anyone knows how I can bring the widgets to the 3rd part launchers?

Unfortunately this is generally not possible, as the widget hooks into the launcher itself and probably does not present itself as available to other launchers the way a normal widget does. I wish it were possible but I'm afraid it's not.

I see. I decided to use Action launcher with 3rd party apps...
By the way, I am from GS3 and I really love the TouchWiz Calendar. It has weather icons inside.
