I like using WidgetLocker and it's been working generally well until I realized it does not replace the default lockscreen. After my 3 minute screen timeout for my Droid 2 to lock up, I have to unlock using WidgetLocker and then the default lockscreen. Is there a way so that I do not see the default lockscreen itself? BTW, I am using a pattern lock.
I use an app called "no lock" and it works really well.
I'm the dev of WidgetLocker.
The issue you are experiencing is because the standard swipe unlock is tied to the pattern (and pin and password) security on Motorola phones. I haven't yet found a way around this. There's two methods I may use to solve this (possibly both options)
1) Implement security into WidgetLocker.
2) Use root to bypass the intermediate swipe unlock
The advantage of using the system's security is that it's for sure protected at phone boot, it's harder for a third-party-app to guarantee that. The advantage of WidgetLocker's own security is that it wouldn't require root (Then again maybe it would for at-boot protection) and would allow more options.
I don't know when I will have a solution to this, I just know it will NOT be in the next update. If you just purchased and this issue is causing you to not use WidgetLocker email me ([email protected]) with your order number (and mention this thread) and I can cancel/refund the order.
No Lock will disable your security. I don't remember offhand if LockBot Pro just completely bypasses the security or has the same issue, but it doesn't solve the problem.
Thread moved to General.
Alright, thanks guys for the good info. I'll continue to use WidgetLocker just because I like it that much, and I hope a solution can be found some time in the future. Thanks!
So, any updates? I'm now unlock homescreen 3 times ). Widgetlocker+Standart_SlideLocker+Pattern. Temporary removed widgetlocker.

i know it's an old thread and problem, but i thought i'd just throw this idea out there...
my current security solution for Motorola phones (Droid X and Bionic) is to enable PIN security. this means that i do not have to depend on a third party app to lock my phone down at boot (which is difficult as you point out).
while using my phone at home, i temporarily disable the PIN security using Switchpro widget's "Auto ScreenLock" toggle (i think No Lock work too). when my phone is rebooted, the Motorola security is automatically active again, and i have to select Switchpro widget again to temporarily disable the PIN security if i choose, or i can leave it enabled if i'm at work or someplace else where the likelihood of losing my phone is increased.
unfortunately this means i can't really use WidgetLocker because whenever i' have PIN security enabled, i have to deal with the extra swipe of the stock lock screen. yes, the new feature for auto-swiping works and is cool, but it's a bit slow and awkward.
Possible solution: if WidgetLocker included a separate post-boot security PIN feature that was reasonably secure while the phone is on (and without disabling the stock security PIN), then i would be in heaven. this would allow me to leave system security PIN in place (protecting me during boot), i would have to swipe and enter my PIN twice the first time i enter my phone after boot (once for system PIN, once for WidgetLocker), then i could disable the system PIN via Switchpro widget (or No Lock) and only have the WidgetLocker PIN on subsequent attempts to unlock my phone until the next reboot. i used exactly this process on my Droid X with LockBot Pro, but LockBot Pro is not compatible with the Bionic.
is this description even remotely clear? i realize that it might be a confusing sequence for some folks, but it would totally address the issue of security during boot and post-boot while also being able to use this excellent app on Motorola phones.
just a thought...

Hi,
I got the same problem as the threadstarter. Any progesses made? Teslacoil hompage says:
Can I use WidgetLocker with a security lockscreen?
Yes, but it depends on your configuration. Some devices force their own slider, before the security slider. This means WidgetLocker, then system slider, then system security. Generally Samsung and HTC devices don't have this issue, and other devices don't have this issue when using Pattern security rather than PIN or Password. WidgetLocker includes a work around for root users to "auto-swipe" the system slider.

On my Galaxy S2 this workaraound does not auto-slide the systemslider... What's wrong with it?
Have a Atrix 2 here and as PhilDX said, it is kinda slow and awkward. When I have the pattern security active and swipe the Widgetlocker lock, it kinda "flashes" my homescreen then goes to the pattern. Also, even though I have autoswipe enabled, but sometimes the original lockscreen pops up.
Great program though, LOVE that I can put widgets on the lockscreen^^
Hello, My phone is SGS2-GTI9100G model.
Can I ask any method to prevent exit active applications from the task manager?
I have a similar problem

My (unrooted) Samsung Stratosphere's Default lockscreen keeps Activating and overriding WidgetLocker. WidgetLocker doesn't even show up or if it does it pops up after I've already unlocked the phone. I have tried setting WL homehelper as home but default still replaces it, then widgetlocker locks the screen at random while I'm in the middle of something. I also tried no lock which disabled all lockscreens temporarily before stock kicked in and locked the phone. is there a way to fix this without root?
For No Lock Home v0.6.4 for Android 4.4.x see the content:
No Lock Home is Xposed module for lockscreen bypass based on network connectivity - when you're home, connected to your trusted WiFi AP, lock screen will not be shown (or you can set it up to display Swipe to unlock lockscreen). Once you disconnect from your AP, your default secured lockscreen will be displayed.
It's the very same principle as uses app SkipLock (formerly Unlock With WiFi) or it can be achieved using Tasker with Secure Settings. You can also try SmartLockScreen.
Similar functionality is also partialy integrated into Android 5.0.
So why use No Lock Home instead?
It works with any unlock method (Swipe/Face Unlock/Pattern/PIN/Password/...) - including fingerprint reader on Samsung Galaxy S5 (stock ROM w/ TouchWiz)
It's easy to setup (compared to complexity of Tasker). No Lock Home only requires you to enable module, reboot and add AP MAC address (using just two taps)
It's completely Free
Next to the built-in unlocking in Android 5.0, using No Lock Home is the fastest and most efficient solution (because it integrates itself directly into the system keyguard)
Additional advantages:
Unlock based on connected WiFi networks, Bluetooth devices or Cell towers
No service, no wakelock, no internet connectivity - just a few method hooks within system keyguard
Crazy small apk
Using AOSP methods which are also available in Samsung/LG devices as well as CyanogenMod
Limitations
Xposed required (therefore root required)
Version 0.x is for Android 4.4.x/KitKat only (no 5.0 Lollipop)
As seen on XDATV...
...and other tubes
It has been tested on Android 4.4.2-4 - Samsung Galaxy S5 (stock & CM11), LG G Pad 8.3 (stock & CM11), Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 (CM11). Since version 0.5.3 it's also compatible with OnePlus and HTC so all Android (4.4+) phones should be covered.
Download
No Lock Home is also available from Xposed Module Repository (QR code below) and Google play.

- Initial release
No Lock Home v2.0 is Xposed module for Android 5.x/6.0. It's core functionality is based on TrustManagerService from GravityBox implementation. Just like with the KitKat version of No Lock Home, this solution has benefits like no background running service or best compatibility with various unlock methods.
Advantages of this module (reasons for spin off):
GravityBox is designed for AOSP so using it even for WiFi unlock alone on CyanogenMod breaks some CM features.
No Lock Home offers additional features: using AP MAC addresses, skipping first unlock after device boot, unlocking on any WiFi network, cell tower (BTS) unlock
Additional notes
CyanogenMod profiles alone offer lockscreen settings but it's impossible to configure it for both WiFi and BT (using it with Google's Smart Lock for BT is somehow buggy)
Using No Lock Home for WiFi and Google's Smart Lock for BT work just fine therefore this No Lock Home doesn't duplicate such functionality
Download: Xposed repo or Play Store

v2.1.0 (20160710)

Great concept. Is there any way to add extra WiFi connections
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Trying now. Promises to be a great convenience for my clumsy fingers!
More WFI hotspots? Might team up with wifi scheduler app.
Great app. I'll start using now. Suggestions for future releases:
- Set a list of more Trusted MACs (with name for identification). EDIT: Just saw how to do it, but a more friendly UI is always appreciated.
- Option to set which type of lockscreen we want (No lockscreen at all/normal lockscreen)
- App icon on launcher
Keep up the great work.

Agreed, it'd be super cool if you could choose to have a secure lockscreen when off a saved AP and an unsecured/swipe lockscreen when connected to a saved one.
awesome. using it on my rooted nexus 5.
more than one AP would be cool and no lock while connected to bt carkit would be nice.
I used a tasker profile for that, but if home was pressed, lockscreen showed up regardless
Great app
Really great App !!! But it doesn't work on my N4 4.4.4 - stock rooted...
Install App + checked it in Xposed-> rebooted -> checked my MAC -> rebooted.... still nothing.
I use Pattern lock.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thank you
Ok. Works!
Working cool at Nexus5.
Enabling multiple hotspots would be good, and to make it through SSID instead of MAC. Also with BT carkit audio
works well on Moto G with 4.4.3

Crashed when click to the module on stock nexus5 4.4.4 (with xposed framework running)
Great great great! Have been looking for such app for a long time, now finally one that does it well. Thank you!
Also looking forward to the disable lock by Bluetooth function. It will be very convenient to have it when out of home but in some relatively secure place, such as in the car.
Works perfectly on Galaxy Tab Pro on Android 4.4.2.
Thanks!!

Use semicolons ( ; ) after each MAC address on the field.
Good app, working well. I wish better interface for editing the macs list, including small name with indication of active mac.
Thanks.
Works fine on my stock rom 4.4.4 nexus 4. Thank you!
Working great on galaxy note 2 4.4.2
Google has rolled out the new smartlock option which features on-body detection. However, i have tried it and think it only works with the power button on the device (I am on Nexus 5 Android 5.0.1 stock and unrooted) and does not work with Greenify's hibernate now + lock screen shortcut. In other words, once I click Greenify's shortcut, the screen is locked and the on-body detection will be overridden. Can Greenify make the shortcut compatible with the on-body detection ? Thanks

Sorry, it's technically limited by Android system. That's why you need Xposed framework and “Boost Mode" activated in Greenify to get it compatible with "Smart Lock".
Background
I am using HTC-E8. The power button is on the top of device which is difficult to turn screen off by using its power button. So I write this mod to let me turn of screen by just swipe up from home button
Function
This mod allow you swipe up from home button to turn off your screen.
Since swipe up from home button normally will trigger Google Now. This mod default will disable this gesture for trigger Google Now. However, you can have an option to enable Google Now by long press the home button.
Notes:
1. You must reboot your device to make your preference take effect.
2. I only test it on my HTC-E8 device with HTC Sense 6.0
Changes History:
2015-04-27 v0.83
1. Fix package name issues while download from Xposed repository
2. Add a function to completely disable "Google Now"
3. Add function on turning the threshold for triggering "Google Now"

Xposed Package Name: looklookson.swipeuptosleep
Great work!!
Will test this module for sure~
If Dev can consider on including this swipe up gesture to run other actions or shortcuts will be even more fantastic!
Thanks for the great module!
It works but the threshold is too short, very easy to accidentally tutn off screen. Therrs no swiping up animation like woth google now but i just press on the home button a little longer than usual then the screen turns off. Please implement the now-like popup and ability to adjust threshold
"Package name is incorrect" on Xposed repository (aka can't download from xposed app)
I would also like to see the ability to change the threshold before screen turns off, and adding some kind of visual, whether it's Google's own one or a custom one, would be nice.
For me it works by swiping up on the home, menu, app drawer and back buttons on my LG G3. I like it that way since it's easier to toggle the screen off.
Nice module I believe the same thing can be achieved with greenify which lets you default "hibernate and lock" to the swipe up shortcut. You don't need xposed for that.

Well I dislike that greenify always locks the phone and I only want my screen turned off. With greenify it always prompts me to enter my unlock pattern and ignores Googles smart lock and for this is an annoyance.
But with this module it works like a charm.

Alright I did not know greenify disables smart unlock.
It disables only Googles smart lock but not the app smart unlock ^^
Can this be done by swiping up the 'Recents' button instead of Home button?? *Idea!

Yes, at least on paranoid android rom, I have an unlock pattern and trusted faces enabled and it always asks for the pattern when I use the greenify hibernate and screen lock function

I don't complain about the module, which works perfectly, it was about greenify and it's similar function.
Is this possible using hardware navigation keys? I guess it's not, since it just replaces the Google now shortcut..

Good stuff! Although swipe [down] to sleep & swipe up to wake, just make more sense to me as swipe gestures.
Hi guys,
I'm using the smart lock/unlock feature on a Android 6 phone. But I can only select 30mins for the unlock-state, and smart unlock is very unrelyable.
My problem is that for using GooglePay, I have to set a lockscreen. But throughout the day I'd prefer having the screen always unlocked. Only in case I active NFC, I want the lockscreen to be active.
So maybe there is a way I could change the 'lock_screen_lock_after_timeout' settings to eg a couple of days (or even endless)?
Thanks
I faced the exact same issue.
I ended up following your suggestion and setting lock_screen_lock_after_timeout to several days.
It works, however the screen doesn't lock at all, which means when you press the power button you you will get straight to the launcher or whatever app was launched. Some people will be OK with it, but personnally I miss the "swipe to unlock" feature.
edit: I just noticed you are on Android 6. In that case, you could use Xposed in conbination with the lockscreen disabler module. It will let you disable the lock screen and trick Google pay into thinking it is enabled. It used to work great on my previous phone. Sadly, Xposed trips Safetynet so Google Pay will most likely refuse to work.
Can I use Xposed without root? Cause I don't want to root my phone just for that feature.
How did you set the property? Do you use any app?
The problem is, I know the property to be set, but I don't know how to achieve that
