Replace HTC Lockscreen, an Incredible Find!

[kevin@teslacoilsw]

-make the clock take up 2 or 4 spaces and also so u can use it on ur home screens to via its a great clock imo

Customizing the clock is planned for a future release. I've gotten numerous requests for it. Good idea about making it usable on the homescreen. It depends on what I add in the customizations though. It's not an actual widget and there's something actual widgets can't do.

more customization with slides wud be awesome. like u can set ur own image as a slider

Themeing is planned eventually. Probably before then I'll setup some icon chooser when creating the slider. There's actually support for displaying a custom icon, just no way of creating one.

-individual buttons wake wen easy mode is activated.

There's not a way, without root, to fully do this. However I might do something that keeps the screen off for unwanted buttons at least, even if the phone does wake up

Can someone please tell me what the wallpaper size would be for this lockscreen?

Depends on the phone, but for the Incredible it's 480x800. You can crop/resize right in the gallery selector, just grab onto one of the edges. It'll maintain the right aspect ratio.

is this better then lockbot pro?

Oh yes .

It's incredibly customizable, both because you can use your own widgets, but also it has a wide selection of settings. It's fast and stable. And it's easy on your battery.

This app works almost 100% perfect...tiny glitch here and there but nothing like lockbot. I love axe'ing the noti bar with this and LP.

is that a missed call icon??

if so where do i get it?

thanks-

 

[freddyttt]

yay! love all the fixes, love love love. where to start?



i also LOVE the custom slider! i got rid of two shortcuts on my lockscreen (camera and phone) by putting them on the slider. that was a pretty smooth idea.

(yay!)

can you explain how to do this?

I just purchased this app yesterday. MUCH better than lockbot, and works great on the DI. But the biggest reason why, as you guys can see - the dev (Kevin) is very proactive. He listens to user input, and genuinely cares what people think, and about any potential bugs. Here is another good link for those who are interested -
WidgetLocker +*~+*~+*~+*~+*-- WOW!!! - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

Add > Widget > Custom Slider

You can chose the left and right actions of the slider and even place an action in the center as a tap click button.

Definitely one of my favorite features

So buy it [via paypal] and all future updates through market 100%?

Unfortunately the Market doesn't work this way. The only way updates are available from the Market is if you paid for it on the Market. There's nothing I can do to bypass this. Even if I manually issue a refund, it voids the ability of the user to access updates.

But if you buy it via paypal I will email you the APK of the current version and add you to the list of people that I email updates. It's not as convenient as the Market but I haven't found a better solution yet. The third party app stores just aren't there yet.

(BTW If your phone is rooted you could look into MarketAccess [AMIP now playing])

One suggestion I have is instead of only the lock screen on call can we have it before incoming calls too? I hate accidentally hanging up on people

Or maybe have an option for every call to have the slider feature to answer and hang up. Like when we get calls with the phone sleeping and locked

Look earlier in the thread. He already answered it chief

kevin: i like it, will pay you kevin so i will get updated .apk links on emails?

thanks for nice app.

 

[kmetek]

Paypal is fine with me. Send me $2 USD to kevin at teslacoilsw.com and put a note in there saying WidgetLocker. I'll email you the APK and updates.

just sent !!!!!

is that a missed call icon??

if so where do i get it?

thanks-

Yea missed call, email, and sms. This is Executive Assistant Free version in Market. If you want it to work with POP mail there is an additional add-on that is free Exec Assis Pop Library I think it's called.

You could also use unread sms widget in market but I thought it's 1x1 was too big for my liking. Hope that helps

 

[jbdan]

what widgets are you using on this lock screen?

Widget Locker stock clock (comes with WL), Power Widget, and Executive Assistant all with standard widget locker slider

So this has absolutely no effect on battery life? I have been looking at purchasing this so I can control last.fm from the lock screen, but if its going to hurt my battery life I don't think I can live with it.

several of us have been monitoring the battery on this, and i can tell you it has had absolutely no effect on my battery life at all. i monitor it with system panel. kevin the dev has done testing, and he assures us it is easy on the battery, as well. it is, trust me. the only thing that could cause you to drain your battery a bit is if you fill the lockscreen with work intensive widgets, without removing any from any of your home screens. any time you load up on widgets, your battery will take a bit of a hit, but just watch the widgets you place. i have relocated most of mine rather than doubling them up.

Awesome, I just bought it. Im playing with it now, seems perfect. I am using LauncherPro, is there anything I should know about the two interacting?

 

[kmetek]

I have been running it now, but how on earth to wake up screen again like i used to with LOCK BOOT PRO (with back button?). Only option is "old" fashion POWER ON HTC button to get screen on and widgetlocker screen etc....help.
