so I have found like 200 programs that will change the lock screen for my Captivate .. but they are pretty useless.
I love LockBot but it only works about 20% of the time.. most of the time I get the standard lock screen witch does not have a separate background , and also not safe most of the time, seems to unlock itself too easy..
it seems that lockbot for example, only comes up a few times, then stops, and then starts working agian.. and i thought it was the app killer programs but I uninstlled ALL of them just to make sure that it was not the problem..
ideas.. tricks. help? is there a way to change the lock by something that has to do with root or something like that?
thanks

There's a free app in the Market called "No Lock." You could try using that to disable the stock Captivate lockscreen.
Widget locker + root + "no lock" = sexy lock screen replacement
I run NoLock, and it always works. Never had any issues with it. Only need to unlock when I reboot
http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.jraf.android.nolock
the no lock thing works all the time, but any external lock program seems to stop working, and thats the problem.
but i reset my phone to default and it seems to be working fot the time, i have no idea what stoped it.. we will see.

This works for me, catches it about 95% of the time. Only difference is, I don't use no lock.

You don't use no lock? How do you deal with the occasional moments of stock lock screen?

Its a bug in the latest firmware, I have reported this to HTC
If you turn on lockscreen shortcuts, this will not happen
It only occurs when lockscreen shortcuts are OFF

I installed Untouched Desire C stock rom etc and it was still a problem. I turned the lockscreen shortcuts off and these still happened. no change. :/
Should I install the Untouched Desire C stock rom, relock the bootloader and return it to vodafone service?
Thanks!!
Yep, tell them ur lockscreen problem, show the screenshots,
2 OK, black or red pill choose ur destiny.
You need to turn ON lockscreen shortcuts, from the personalize app!
I have tested this on 3 desire c's, my sons, my woman's and my own

I know that stock kernel in your phone -g932fab4 the cpu clock is locked at 600MHZmax 600MHZmin
and is unchangeable with setcpu or any other cpu changing apps. also governor and scheduler is locked. even with root.

Lately the same issue started for me too. Lock screen shortcuts have been enabled. With clean flashed Nameless however, there's no problem.
I tried to delete lock screen data and cache, still the same.
The red and grey spots only come when I move the lock ring but I don't unlock it, otherwise only the shortcuts are missing.
If I press the power button again without unlocking, the shortcuts are back.
Can it be that a calendar event or similar notification on the lock screen stuck somewhere in the ROM and causes this?

oh so im not the only one. the only thing what worked for me is full erase everything, and clean install the latest nameless rom and use the nameless look. and dont change anything. i changed the rosie apk back to the original 4x4. it was all right. then i installed a skin. it was still all right. i tried to push the transparent quick settings, i succeeded, but since then i pushed that systemui.apk it started again. when i install the rom i also remove 47 programs by room toolbox pro. i fuk sth up. if i dont change anything, and i use the nameless look its all right. i have the lastest nameless 806mhz kernel and rom etc. i have the lockscreen shortcuts on and have no problem yet. (3 days passed since the install)
Hi, I have came from an iPhone 5, and I flashed maximus rom etc, i love the phone without the sense ui thank god.. But my question is, How can I set it up so it would light up the screen when a text message or whatsapp message arrived without having to open the screen to see it, Like how can i make the screen light up for a few secs to show preview JUST like on the iphone?, This is the only nuisance i had with the phone, otherwise AMAZING...
yeah found this somewhat annoying myself

Use a third party messaging app...chompsms is a good one...go sms is another good one. I believe both will give you this option.

If you don't want a 3rd pary app, since I hear those can mess with lockscreens, try trickdroid rom. That has it as a mod(might load into Maximus as a mod too) to do wake4sms and can also wipe out all the senseui on install.
barkmarkin;413480But my question is said:
There is an APP called "missed it "in play store you can use to wake up the phone screen for the sms or any other application. for sms it is by default, for other APP like whatsapp or any APP you want to wakeup screen you can add in the widget profile. Do remember when you creat a widget in the setting part to keck the last item.
Be aware if you use it yoi can not drag 4 icons in lock screen to quick access those APP you can only unlock the screen.
It works very well on my one.

Hey all ....
I am having some extremely frustrating problems with Widget Locker Lockscreen here on my HTC One.
First, I can't seem to get the homehelper to work correctly as it doesn't even look like its saving my settings when I switch launchers or anything for testing. I don't need a PIN or security on my phone as deep as setting that, I just don't want the home button to take me to the home screen when on the lockscreen. GO locker did this beautifully for me, and didn't have the second issue below.
Second, when it does work for like 10 seconds, I get an annoying flicker of it trying to paint the homescreen then going back to the lockscreen.
Anyone else experiencing any of these issues or know how to fix them? I have emailed the created of WL a couple of times stating the problems I was having within the app and got nothing back, so its time to ask the XDA Community.
Thanks
I experienced the same problems as you. It was an amazing app when it was on my Nexus one, still is used. But on the Htc One its pretty lackluster. I know I have nothing to contribute but I just uninstalled it...

Your HTC One is running ARHD as well (well from your signature it says it is) ... I am on 11.5.
Can someone on a different ROM check to see if they are having these issues as well? I know a lot of people are using the app so someone on a different ROM shouldnt be hard to find

Hey, I'm on fully converted GE. I use nova/widgetlocker religiously. Unfortunately, I have the same problems when I try to use homehelper. Its like an inefficient workaround, shows the "redraw" of home but tries to maintain WL. This isn't a working solution. I've disabled it and for the time being, I've just tried to ignore the home button while lock screen. Its always just power button or swipe (if i'm using custom kernel) then unlock using lockscreen. I've looked for other lockscreen alternatives but in terms of features, nothing compares to WL. I hope the devs bring out an update in the near future to address these issues.

Awesome. Thanks for the update. I have been extremely frustrated with this app but nothing compares to the customizing that can be done with it. Lets hope for a speedy update to fix this or hopefully the devs actually come on XDA and see this thread starting and address it
I was able to get rid of the flicker by turning on "HomeHelper ondemand via root" in Advanced > Root Helper (in addition to enabling HopeHelper). I'm currently on TrickDroid 8.00 and WidgetLocker 2.4beta8.

Turned on HomeHelper ondemand via root .... it stopped the home button bypass of the lockscreen but I still have the flicker
Crazy observation ....
I cleared all my settings, defaults, etc this morning before I posted about the homehelper with root .... and still had the flicker
Just playing around with my phone now I changed my lockscreen to have an alternate background from my home screen .... no more flicker on my device ...
Do you guys have alternate backgrounds? If not, can you try switch to one and see if you still get the flicker?

TrickDroid, as posted above, seems to not have any issues either. Is there anyone else on TrickDroid or ViperRom that has had issues?
I can't see why it would be limited to ARHD and GE Roms on the One, but since I don't know much about how these are put together, I guess anything is possible.
Also to note, after my change yesterday, I haven't had an issue since.
just installed app again after update. works like a charm and the dashclock is in "fullscreen" unlike when it was on the sense lockscreen!

any news?
do you guys know any way to use the default lockscreen when you get a call?
the only two possibilities that I found is to either have no lockscreen or you don't see who's calling you (because you need to unlock widget locker first) - both not ideal if you ask me

Well I dunno about you. But I am not having any issue for when someone calls me. but then again I didn't put any sort of security on my phone.
I just have Widget Locker Lockscreen enabled. someone calls me goes straight to answer/decline for me
Using default lockscreen, there is this cool feature (widget?) that shows controls and info of music that is currently playing, no matter what is the player you are using (I use both Spotify and Poweramp). Is there similar widget available that could be used with Widget Locker? I have found some that has support for Poweramp, but for spotify none. I'd rather not add both player's own widget to Widget Locker, it would be just spending space (and Spotify's widget is quite ugly).

me too, but that's the problem: you don't have to swipe up to answer or decline the call, the phone is unlocked so you only have to tap answer or decline... this may cause you to accept/decline calls by accident
I would like to have the default incoming call screen where you have to swipe up to accept the call together with widget locker, but I didn't find a way yet to achieve that

I would like to change the slide to answer/decline call to something like tap/click to answer. Sliding drives me crazy because i have small hands and it is hard for me to slide rather than just tap. I just changed my Iphone4 to HTC One, on iOS I have had a mod called EZDecline which forced the stock system red decline and green answer button on every screen and it was good.
On HTC though, on the lockscreen there are slides - how to get rid of them without disabling lockscreen ?
I have TrickDroid v8 and Nova Launcher.

Slide buttons are only on the lockscreen while the phone is locked. There are normal buttons on unlocked phone, but I want to change the sliders on the lockscreen, since the most of the time, the telephone is locked while being called.
Really anyone did not change or mod that ?

You will have to use an app more than likely.
I use SMS pop up and it also controls the incoming phone calls and I only have to click to answer. There should be tons of apps to do what you are looking for. Just a few that I know if would be SMS Pop-up, Notify, Full Screen Caller ID.

I guess nobody sees it as a big deal ... Doesn't surprise me though that it was available on the iPhone seeing as you can''t do jack **** on an iPhone without modding or tweaking something
... On a side note though, I'm confused as to why your small hands pose such an issue with sliding to answer? Are they toddler sized hands or something?

Holding firmly phone and sliding the decline slider is just uncomfortable. Im not the type of person who focus on the phone with tho hands. I am walking and want to fast answer or decline with one hand and the grip with one hand for me is not secure.

No settings for the call stuff. Should just reboot after installing and it should take over your incoming call screen. You may need to enable the SMS notification setting for the call screen to work though, not sure never used it without enabling the SMS notifications

If you're on latest firmware with updated touch driver, it's more like a quick flick rather than a full swipe. Pretty easy to do.

SMS notify works but the incoming call is still Slide to answer on the lockscreen. Is it because i use Nova Launcher ? I fully rebooted the phone 3 times already.

Could be. Sorry, I have never used Nova launcher.
I think it is because I have Nova with Sense 5.0 and the lockscreen comes from HTC Sense ui and it overides the incoming call styles and I am stuck with sliders.
Full screen caller ID app should still work. You can configure the how the incoming call screen looks and it wouldn't matter which launcher you are using.
