Screen Lock Widget

The one made by Droid-Mania is gone from the market.

It is THE most useful widget I had, I didn't have to push the button on top of my phone to turn the screen off.

Is there anything that works similar? Basically just push the one widget and screen turns off and locks?

I do NOT want something that turns the lock on/off. I want something to turn the screen off.

I don't know why droid mania pulled the Lock Screen Widget, it was perfect. The people who couldn't uninstall it didn't get force close it first.

I still show it as being available here: Lock Screen Widget - Android app on AppBrain

And I still use it, and love it.
 
I figured out that certain programs are not displayed on the market using samsung fascinate. Can knockdown is anothee im looking for.

Is there anywhere to get the apk files?

Use AppBrain...it's really nice. You can browse for apps on the computer and trigger an install on the computer. Not sure if it will work if you can't see the item in The Market, but it's worth a shot.

If that fails, I'm sure you can get the .apk from somewhere :)

App brain is a no go, tried that yesterday. App brain rdirects you to the market where the link is blocked anyhow.

I think I found an apk I need on another site, problem is getting it onto my phone now via usb.
 
Got it onto my sd card, used astro file, and can't install it.

I seriously hate this god damn phone. I had 4 droid 2s(bad screens, antennas, keyboards). This is, however, the most rediculous thing I've ever heard of. Blocking certain apps just because.

****ing bullshit.
 
just installed the lock widget. the link still works..

anyway.. sadly, it still requires the user to press the power button to wake the screen or am i missing something?
 
You've got the wrong widget. As I said before, this problem relates to the samsung fascinate, it is blocked from the market on there.
 
Just downloaded and installed from AppBrain. Just what I wanted. Thanks for the tip on this app.
 
This Lock Screen Widget from Droid Mania is exactly what I'm looking for. Does anyone know if there is a way to change the icon?

I was hoping to use Desktop Visualizer but because it is a widget and not an application, I don't believe I can.
