Had never heard of this app until today and I love it... Thought I'd give it a mention.
It's a complete lockscreen replacement.
does it feel as smooth as the standard lock screen? or does it cause some lag?

I haven't noticed any lag.
The only downside in my opinion, so far, is that the gmail icon counter only shows the count of your primary account. Hopefully they enhance that to show counts of multiple accounts soon.
The biggest down side about apps like this is its not a true replacement for the lock screen.. It is just an app that runs over top of the default one.. I bought widgetlocker and now dont use it. I will sometimes see the stock lock screen or it wont have lag when locking it.. I tried GoTo and its about the same..
I came from the iPhone and used intelliscreen which just added stuff to the default lock screen.. Was amazing.. Wish someone could come up with the same type of mod for the android lock screen.. =[

Testing more, the only time I ever see the normal lockscreen is if I enable the option to disable the volume/camera buttons. I reported it, not sure what they'll do about it.
That said, I don't actually want that option enabled so I never see the normal lockscreen in my real use.
I also still have not run into any lag, but I guess that will vary based on a zillion different factors from person to person.
You're right though, I wish that things like this could be true replacements.
Theres a way to disable the lock.screen on htc devices but that's cause its a .apk with some digging around I'm sure someone can disable the tw lock screen. Doing so would allow you to use the app without the stock lock screen showing up. Not to sure about lag thought

That'd be cool... I'll have to search around.
I need to use the phone for a bit longer and test more, but I went into Titanium and froze TWLauncher and I am no longer getting the normal lockscreen, even if I disable GOTO, so I think it is gone.
I do see the normal lockscreen very briefly if I reboot the the phone, but it goes away in a split second and I don't see it again unless I reboot again.
Perhaps that is all that is needed.

Nevermind... that SEEMED to work for a little bit, but now if I have the disable volume/camera option enabled I see the normal lockscreen for a split second again. It goes away quickly, but it does appear.
That said, I still never see it at all if I don't enable the disable volume/camera option.
Ok, I installed NoLock (free in the Market) and disabled the lockscreen with it and that works. I see the normal lockscreen very briefly upon a reboot, but never again after that.
I tested a bit longer this time before saying so, lol.
This thing works flawlessly for me. Sometimes my fat fingers have a hard time stopping on the text message one, but that is user error.
Goto is awesome... it even ran with no lag on my hero
Traced with Ultra Keyboard from my *Epic*
So I've been using this for a day now and I love it. Can change the shortcuts to similar apps, can unlock, doesn't make phone lag and it's only .99c

I've also been using it for a day now, and it's a really nice app!
Been seeing the regular homescreen quite a few times though, will try to disable the "enable the disable volume/camera option"' option...
yeah as someone else said you have to use nolock (market) with any lockscreen app but i've heard that it does make it pretty flawless
You can do this and it's probably easier to change your lockscreen over and over, but you can navigate the system, or apply a new theme which either way can change the system files. Someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in as to what you need to do, I'm not sure if you can delete it and disable it that way or if it just puts something else up instead, but I definitely know you can theme the lockscreen because I have seen different ROM's have different lockscreens.
Thanks for.posting this app. Its pretty good.

I've been using Revolt since 1.1 and have to say its been a fairly decent setup and the upgrades have been seamless, but I have a few concerns since 1.3 and things seem to be worse in 1.4.
1.3 issues
FC car home on startup
FC in Google Navigation when Speak Destination is selected (Fixed in 1.4)
FC when trying to access voice mail from Dial Pad
1.4 issues
FC car home on startup
FC when trying to access voice mail from Dial Pad
Ringtones\Notifications have double entries in selection menu (lost all my good ones from 1.3 too!)
Black background on text messages? (I dont mind it but its not consistent with any other menus that all have white)
I'd like to see these addressed or any suggestions if its just me with some of these problems. Overall this is THE rom to have for the phone, I have no problems with 3G delay or bloat/slowness like the factory rom and my phone never reboots or locks up.. just want to say keep up the good work and hope this helps make future roms better!
Hey thanks for the comments! Couple things, quick and easy fix for you for the voice mail button is to a) do as I do and long press
1 (hence the reason I didn't know there was a problem lol) or b) in the op of revolt is the Verizon visual voice mail app, download and install zip in cwm and you will be good to go with the button. Second, the fc on boot for car home is a battle. Lg has made it difficult on this one and so has google. It has been the death of me and I know majorpay has put in a load of work to get it running also, and everytime we think it is fixed it will work sometimes and not others. It is annoying I know but we are trying. The black and green mms is from a request and a port from my old theme for decrap. I am working on porting more apps as I go. The ringtones is coming from somewhere else. I had the same problem where I had downloaded and extracted a rom on my sdcard and it was pulling the doubles from there. Once I deleted that, no more doubles.
I am glad you like it! It is a work in progress and as time goes I will continue to try to make it better!

The lock screen is a known problem for the charging status with the aosp lockscreen. I had basically rewritten the smali code for the lock screen to mimic that of the nexus one, and it still did not work. There were complaints of not being able to tell what the charge status was without going into the about menu, so I recoded the charging xml to show battery level. While charging, the led will be green if over 10% and red if under. That way you know if it is charging or not.

I'd hate to hijack, but on a somewhat related note of Revolt 1.4 findings I noticed when going to attach multimedia to a text message, at least using the stock messaging app, the text is invisible. I'd noticed this back with the RevoBread theme as well. Not too much of an issue just a slight inconvenience but easy enough to navigate past. Thanks for the hard work on the ROM mt!

I have tried several launchers, SPB 3D, Rigina 3D, Go, and all have giving issue with turning off the screen when I touch our and some times not. M gt screen time out is set to 2 mins. So that's not it. Anybody else having this issue? I issue seems to go away after returning back to stock launcher.

All I've used so far is the stock launcher but I"m getting fed up with it and thinking of trying something else. I'm kind of leaning toward Go but sounds like you've had issues with it.

A bit anoying. I am trying to use stock ROM too and I am having issues with shutting off screen add well. Very difficult to touch left side center of screen without the screen shutting down. I've done system restore as well, with no luck.hard to believe Moto missed this.
Seems if you touch screen longer than a second on left side, screen shuts of as well. Sometimes even without touching within seconds of a screen opening.

I'm using Go and I personally haven't seen this issue.
However, are you absolutely sure you're not accidentally covering the light sensor between the earpiece and the front camera? If you cover that, AND have the in-pocket detection set to "yes", you'll accidentally trigger the screen-off.
Of course that doesn't make sense if it's only happening on custom homescreens, and not stock. But I figure I should throw it out there just in case. In-pocket detection is the last option in Menu > Settings > Display.

screen issue
I noticed this happening on stock even with a different launcher layered over. As long as the original stock launcher is there/installed it happens.
I know this is not for everyone, but I have GO Launcher EX installed (which is my preferred launcher, everyone has there own) and after rooting I uninstalled the stock launcher.
I did this on my Droid 2 and noticed not only significant battery increase (as for some reason both launchers were running layered) but also no issues with the screen shutting off on its own as with the stock launcher.
If anyone wishes to also try this, do so at your own risk, but it is a suggestion that I have personally used and it has helped my phone.

I use launcher pro plus and have had no issues with it shutting off on its own. However, I have had problems unlocking my phone. Might be the screen protector, but when i drag my finger over the screen for the unlock pattern it thinks i lift it up halfway through the pattern and causes me to fail at unlocking. this is highly annoying, but i need lock on my phone. might move to a pin instead. All in all though, Launcher Pro is working like a charm. I use to use ADW Ex, but I wanted to try something new.
I was using launcher pro (free edition) and had similar problems. Mostly whenever my screen timed out and I would open it back up. Annoying enough to uninstall and go back to stock
I've been using Apex launcher forever now, and I've never had any problem like that. I have also tried out all the launchers you mentioned. And I always go back to Apex Pro. :good:

The app doesn't fit well with my screen, like it's transition upwards a few pixels, so i can see my background at the bottom and at the top it truncates my notification bar (or better yet, its own custom notification bar).
Too many permissions
Why does the app requests so many permissions, like information about accounts or about contacts??
So it can display missed calls and things like that.

I am guessing it needs to access those in order to display the notification.. It is more reading the app when a message or call arrives.

I'd really like to use it, but when i've set a password, secure my phone and try to unlock it, it gets a force close and my normal system lockscreen is there. Without a password it works great!
every time I lock the screen zplayer starts playing and i cant prevent it from doing that
plz fix this bug
Zplayer fix
Any luck yet with the zplayer fix?
(The one when the zplayer starts playing when locking the screen)
I am yet to find the reason behind this but my first guess would be the "integration with zplayer" part...

Hi all,
I cannot but tell you this huge doubt that has been haunting me since I got my Nexus 4: is this new 4.2 lockscreen really an improvement?
For me, it can be considered as a step forward (widgets) and two steps backward (camera and Google Now).
Let me explain:
Step back 1: the camera is now accessible only by swiping the screen to the right
Step back 2: Google Now is hidden as a tiny, little, dotted ring in the far bottom of the screen (see attached image)
Step forward: widgets to the left screen
This is all related to the new circle lock widget, that now allows you only to unlock the phone by dragging the center to whatever position in the borders (see attached image).
And you wanna now why Google did this? I'm strongly convinced they did it because of Apple's lockscreen patent. No joke and no flame intended here. If you read the patent, it clearly says that
The device is unlocked if contact with the display corresponds to a predefined gesture for unlocking the device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, with this upgrade the "predefined gesture" exists no more. Before Android 4.2, the only way you could slide to unlock was to move from point A (center) to point B (right): that's exactly what we call a "predefined gesture". Now you can slide to unlock from point A (center) to point B (right), or point C (left), or point D (bottom), and so on. In Android 4.2 the user is free to unlock to whatever position he or she feels like, Google is safe from Apple lawtrolls, but my impression is that we all lose here.
If this is not the reason, I can't figure out why they did this.
Honestly, who cares to unlock to whatever position? It is an automated gesture, I hardly see anyone saying "Oh, thank God, I really needed to swipe left and now I can, good job Google".
Now, instead of having three of the most useful apps in one place, and unlocking them immediately, we have to break this process in three different procedures. This is not immediate, this is awful and I'd like Google to revert to how things were before. They can leave the widgets, but the circle lock widget has to be restored as we have seen it in 4.1.
What do you think? Is this new lockscreen really this big improvement or, like me, do you see more cons than pros?
overall, im ok with it. like the google now thing is fine. but sliding left and right can sometimes be bothersome, but it wont kill me
It is just the start. They will build on it.
sent via xda premium with nexus 7-Xbox live-loneleppard add me
I was worried as well, After using it on my GNex i have to say i like it, Alot of 3rd party apps have updated and are usable like Hd Widgets and Falcon for twitter. Im sure many more will follow.Getting to the camera and google now still only take 1 swipe. I see where you are coming from but adding functionality is hardly a step back. You dont have to use widgets and getting to Gnow and the camera are just as simple
i really do like the google now being down there. its where the home button actually is, which makes sense since you do drag up from the home button to get to google now quickly when on any screen (besides the lock screen of course). a bit more organized and less confusing for those who are coming to this phone for the first time
I just want my clock widget to get better from the black eye it's got.
What I'm saying is that the overall third party widget idea is more than welcome, but Google could have done much better by keeping Google Now and the Camera app within the lock circle and giving more space to widgets: that would have been accessible not only by swiping to the left, but also to the right.

You know, at first I thought they had eliminated Google Now completely, then a friend of mine told me that it was in fact hidden behind that little dotted circle.
Every time you unlock in 4.1, you see a giant Google Now logo; in 4.2, if you want to get access to it in the lock screen, you have to go figure it out.

Old lockscreen found running on 4.2 Nexus 4
Thought this might interest you, also I would love to know how this is possible.
Here in the UK I tried out a Nexus 4 in a Carphone Warehouse store yesterday. We opened the box for the first time, booted up the phone and it presented us with the 4.1 version of the lockscreen .
The thing is, the phone was running on Android 4.2, I checked the settings, it was confirmed to be Android 4.2.
I am desperately trying to find a way to restore the old lock screen. The camera loads slower, the widgets are rubbish and I hate the new clock typeface.
Does anyone else know how this could be possible? The phone was unboxed and came straight from Google.

if you read reviews on the device, they were running 4.2 without the lockscreen widgets. the OTA implemented the functionality. idk why everyone thinks its bad. im ok with it. maybe the devs will include the option to have the old lockscreen in a custom ROM in the future

Oh now that is interesting, I'm very surprised Google didn't allow people to retain the old lock screen. One can only hope they listen to complaints and roll out an option to toggle widgets, customise clock typeface, etc.
I find accessing the camera by swiping to be a slower experience than before. It makes all that work speeding up the shutter seem a little pointless.
Not only that but sliding between widgets is very awkward when you have a phone case on. Step backwards indeed.
Initially I didn't like it, but it's kinda grown on me now. And I actually like the look of the clock with the hour in bold :victory:
If it's ever too humid or I'm too sweaty, making the phone that easy to unlock one way or another leads to some nasty accidents in the pocket. One time I ended up pocket calling two people over 20 times in the period of an hour. And that was with the original slide to unlock. It was so bad I had to put a pin lock on it temporarily.
For those complaining about the bold hour font on the clock you can easily download a mod to change it.
I didn't like the two flashing boxes that appeared for the widget screens so I downloaded a mod and now I just see the clock and the pattern unlock.

Really? I haven't found any bugs whatsoever in 4.2 so far.
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...

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!

I dont get it? you installed Lockscreen widget and it doesnt enable? make sure you go to settings of lockscreen widget and enable it! tick that box see if that works...
after that it should be simple from there!

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
