Curious to know if this Locker actually works? ive tried go locker but it seems to randomly come up late when turning on the screen, no idea why..itl show stock lock screen but then show my go locker one a couple secs later..kinda annoying. Does this widget locker do the same?
Did you delete the htc lockscreen when you had go locker installed?
i did not, how do i do that? using Titanium?
never mind i found it thanks for the help
I've used GoLocker and Widget Locker. Widget Locker is 10x better, more smooth and it almost literally replaces the new lockscreen. it has about 10 built in lock themes that are pretty standard, including Ice Cream Sandwhich, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb.
I definitely recommend it's purchase if you're looking for a new lockscreen. It's also super-customizable.
Sometimes you do still have that delay when it switches to the lockscreen, but it's not nearly as bad as Go Locker. usually the lagged lockscreen happens if you turn the screen off then turn it on right away. If you turn the screen off and wait a couple seconds, it grabs the Widget Locker screen completely when you turn it back on.
I love Widget Locker. Bought it launch for the intro price.

And if you have root access you can enable root helper which basically makes it so there is no lag, Definetly worth it in my opinion.

I never knew this. Just goes to show you how much I sit down and explore the application settings.

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
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.

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.
When I'm in an application, music player, browsing the web or looking at an email, if I turn off the screen, NOT the phone, then reactivate the screen it always goes back to the home screen, why?
I want it to stay where I left it, not have to go back hitting applications to be where I was.
Is there any way of stopping this annoyance?
My milestone 2 doesn't do this, it stays where it was left.
Thanks

My Atrix doesnt do this. You must have ticked a setting box in a launcher or lockscreen to "always take you home". widget locker? Or a dif lockscreen? You chose this option the Atrix does not do it on its own.

Thank you, I found the setting in widget locker.
Bliss, now I can carry on with enjoying the Atrix.
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..

Symptom: I have stock Sense 4.0 Weather Lock Screen setup and it works fine, for a while. Eventually it stops displaying any weather info and just shows the weather wallpaper on the lock screen.
Trouble shooting done: I tried setting using other Sense "active" lock screens and they continue to update info on them fine. This problems seems to be limited to the weather one.
Equipment & config: Stock EVO 4G lte ROM, rooted, stock recovery. Using Apex Launcher as the default launcher.
Thanks for any input!

Im guessing its because you are using nova launcher. The weather lockscreen might be more deeply woven into sense than the rest. I would use sense launcher and see if the problem remains.

I'll give it a try. (But using Apex Launcher wins over not have weather lock screen...)
Just setting the launcher default back to the Sense Launcher did not "wake up" the lock screen on it's own. So I switched the lock screen to "wallpaper" and then back to "weather". I'll see if it manages to keep working.
OK, switching back to the stock Sense Launcher did not clear up the problem.
Another possibility. I use the car dock and while I think HTC made a very pretty Car Dock Launcher, it really isn't as flexible as I need. Really, you can't even put your own shortcuts on it!
So, I installed the Google 'CarHomeGoogle.apk' (v. 2.2.1) and the 'CarHomeLauncher.apk' (v. 2.2) to make it visible.
It looks like the weather lock screen works fine, until I use the Google Car Home launcher. I will do some more testing to confirm.
If this turns out to be what is happening does anyone have recommendations for a car launcher that doesn't break the weather lock screen? One that works with ICS so that it doesn't stick the "three-dot" menu on the screen!
I'm experiencing this also. Stock rom using sense.
I had this same issue last week. It turned out that an app I had briefly installed then removed (I forget the name of the app, but it was to help prolong the charge of the battery), had turned off auto-sync (settings>Accounts & sync>Auto-sync on/off).
Hope this helps!

Sounds logical, was the case on the 3d, though i'm not experiencing it since auto sync is on. Fresh 5.1.1
OK, after more testing it is definitely the Google Car Home app that is killing the Sense 4.0 Lock Screen Weather.
I can reproduce it and it does not occur if I don't run that App. I'm not sure what about that App breaks it, but it is not the "Auto Sync" toggle. All I have to do to fix it is to set the lock to something else and back to Weather and it works fine until I run Google Car Home again.
I'm going to try out "Car Dock Home v3" from "IG88 Apps" to see if that works any better with Sense.
OK, using "Car Dock Home v3" as the Car Dock launcher exhibits the same behavior.
I thought it might be a problem with some of the Apps that I normally run while in Car Mode. So I tried just using the dock and going into and out of Car Dock Mode and it still did the same thing.
Next thing to try is to go back to the Sense 4.0 "Automotive Home" as the default Car Mode launcher and see if THAT causes the same problem.
I can't believe that you can't put your own shortcuts on the stock Car Mode Launcher. The most common thing I do is listen to podcasts, and there is no way to start my App to listen to them! How does something like that get through the design phase?
One thing I haven't mentioned before: This only happens when I actually put the phone physically in the car dock. If I just load the Car Home app everything works fine.

mine is updating, but it is showing the wrong city..... I was in Orlando last week, and am now a thousand miles away or so and it still shows orlando, I thought I changed the city to my current one, but it still shows orlando on the lockscreen any idea what to do?
Mine is doing the same thing the weather will update but not the location. I only way I have been able to update it is to restart the phone. I would like to know if there is a fix for it too.
OK, I tested using the stock Sense 4.0 "Automotive Home" Car Dock App. Using this App does not break the Weather Lock Screen. (Well, that is good news at least...)
While testing it out I found ANOTHER annoyance with this App. If I hit the "Phone" button on my Bluetooth remote it brings up the App's dialer screen, not the voice dialer App! If I am working hands free, I want to voice dial! Of course there is no setting to change this...
For as much work as HTC put into this Car Dock App it is REALLY hard to tell that they had anyone actually USE it. Maybe they will update this app for better functionality... (lolz)
