Widgetlocker and NoLED now play nice

If you were like me and didn't want to try Widgetlocker because it broke NoLED (or vice versa) both apps have now been updated to work together. And work well they do.
This is my first experience with Widgetlocker and I see what all the praise is about. It really is the perfect lockscreen customizer. I've set up a Sense style lock with themed Android sliders for camera and volume controls. Looks great and the options are endless.
Two of the best app devs have worked together to make my phone much more functional and enjoyable. Big thanks to both. Support them if you can.

Is there a way to fix the issue of the soft keys not turning off after a noled notification?

How about noled, widget locked, and SMS popup or hancent?
Everytime I get a notification my screen turns on and stays on. I have everything set to do not turn screen on.
Also, my widgetlocker does not keep Widgets. Everytime i reboot they dissapear. Anybody else?
I'm on cm nightlies.

As far as I know no. The dev has said that he doesn't own a NS and it appears to be a hardware limitation of the phone.

Have you tried the delay SMS notifications setting in NoLED? I don't use popups anymore but that did it for me when I was. Not sure how that interacts with Widgetlocker now though.
For your Widgets not sticking did you try to enable to startup option in WL?

The dev does own a nexus s, he contacted noled to update widgetlocker and have them work together.
Being able to manage the keys would make noled outstanding.

Doesn't noled drain ur battery to have the screen come on for notification til you get to it?

Yeah, I've tried pretty much every combination of NoLED, WidgetLocker and SMSPopup settings and doesn't quite work work together.... :-(

When I'm on system settings my Widgets stay... but when I use my themed Widgets, they keep disappearing.

Something I noticed today. NoLED only seems to work if the default lockscreen is disabled thru Widgetlocker.
Also a few times my screen is on and I get a message NoLED will activate and interrupt me. Not sure if that's a bug or something I've done wrong in the settings.

Im in the same boat beautiful widgets, simiclock, even my power control disappears. Its really making me feel like this was a bad purchase...

Try stock Widgets.... they stay after reboots.

This is the only thing that's keeping me from using NoLED, other than that it would be a kick ass application.

Not as much as you would think. As the majority of the screen is black, and it takes no power to show black (or very, very, negligible) on a SAMOLED screen the battery drain is pretty small. Now, as it is though the Home, Back, Menu and Search buttons also light up which wouldn't help things.

ill try later with the 7 laucher.

OK I am going to try NoLED now.
As far as the Widgets disappearing from WidgetLocker it is due to a conflict with the Theme Chooser in CM7. I have been working with the Dev of WidgetLocker for a little while to diagnose the problem. It was finally confirmed that it is Theme Chooser causing the problem. If you go back to stock theme everything should work fine. Personally I just re add my widgets cause I love my theme

I only have problems with haxzmatics theme... all other themes that come with cm7, the widgets stay.

That is my theme of choice also
Have you tried any other theme that does not come with CM7? I have tried a couple from the market and the widgets disappear with those also.

That's odd. I don't even use any themed widgets. The only one I use on the lockscreen is AgendaWidget

[Q] Miui/Galnet launcher

Hi all,
I've got a little question, i've update to Galnet v3.3 works fine,
but the scroller on the bottom (above the bottom buttons) has disappeared
any idea what I can do?
Cheers,
Wilco

Where did you find this "Galnet" launcher?

the Miui launcher does not have an app drawer. all of your apps will be in the home screens. If you dont like it, install another launcher

Galnet is the ROM you are using right? Do you mean the indicator which shows you which page you are on? It's theme dependant so try changing the theme.

Oh sorry for the confusion!
I updated my galnet rom and this had the standard miui launcher, other co workers have the same version and have the same launcher but at the bottom there is a slider normally do you can quickly
slide to the last home screen, that's gone
Cheers,
waw

Home screens settings lost upon reboot.

Every time I restart my phone, it forgets all the home screen settings. When it starts back up, it asks which launcher I want to use (I prefer ADW EX), and when it gets to the home screen, all widgets and wallpapers are gone. I thought it might have something to do with ADW, so I restarted the phone, and chose the stock launcher. Again, all widgets were gone and the wall paper was changed.
Any clue why this is happening?

Mine is similar on cyanogenmod and removes the messaging icon after every reboot.

thnx

Are you using any wallpaper app? If yes then stop that & use some image stored on your phone as your wallpaper. Do this & might see the transparent bar.
If you are using some custom launcher like Nova instead of stock Xperia launcher, you'll have to enable transparent notification & status bar from 'Look & feel' in Nova settings.

Cool. Try to use thanks button to say thanks wherever possible. It reduces the number of unneeded posts which are just saying "thanks". It helps to keep the threads shorter.

New 290 themes nav-bar and walls not working together

I thought the transparent navigation bars were supposed to be able to show part of the wallpaper through them, but it isn't working for mine. Whenever I press the home button it snaps the wallpaper around like crazy, it zooms it in and for a second you can see the transparency working, but then it snaps back and the image starts from right above the bar, leaving an ugly dark space in there.
I haven't modded the phone or anything, I'm hoping there's a setting somewhere that messes it up for me.
Any help is appreciated.

Why my 290 doesn't have a pre-installed theme like that?:-o

No, you go to where you set themes and press the plus-icon in upper right. Takes you to where you can download them from Sony Select.

That's a weird issue, mine doesn't have this
Try clearing data for the Sony launcher

it is not preinstalled, you go to themes and click on + in the upper right corner to go to sony select and choose a theme that you want and then install it from play store.

I would like to know how did you make your navigation bar transparent? or if you didn't, what do you mean by "transparent" in your post?

Ok, the problem is temporarily solved.
I don't know how it fixed itself though. I had been using both the Album app and Quickpic to set wallpapers when I was having the problem, but when I used Wallpaper Wizardrii it worked like it should. Weird thing is, now afterwards it seems to work with the album app again.
Anyone else who would have the problem should try Wallpaper Wizardrii I guess. It's an app for optimally setting wallpapers, it has a cumbersome interface but it does what it says it does.

Not the entire bar, but part of it. It's just a feature some of the new themes have. See the attachment.

Understood.
Try uninstalling the theme, reboot, reinstall and see if it works.
