Having problems with my lockscreens. I'm attempting to substitute Widgetlocker lockscreen for the stock one on my Droid DNA (non-rooted). I'm also having my handcent notification popup show up between the layers of lockscreens.
A quick explanation of what I've done so far:
Created a custom lockscreen with widgetlocker.
Tested it, had 2 lockscreens. (Custom screen, and 3 option pull down screen).
Under the advanced options of Widgetlocker disabled stock lockscreen
Tested, 2 lockscreens still. (Custom screen, and 3 option pull down screen).
Installed NoLock. Enabled no lock mode.
Tested.....THREE lockscreens. (Custom screen, and 3 option pull down screen, and the circle you move to the operation you want screen).
Under Settings -> Personalize, selected No Lock screen
Tested, three lockscreens
Uninstalled NoLock
Tested...2 lockscreens.
At this point I'm at a loss for what to do next to get rid of that stock lockscreen. I would even just give up assuming it can't be done without rooting....EXCEPT, my handcent popup notifications will popup on top of my custom screen, but BELOW the stock on I'm trying to get rid of....this is my 4th Android phone and I've never had it popup under the lockscreen before. Makes me think this is bugged out somehow.
Any help?
I use the settings...personalization..no lock screen route and it works fine. Widgetlocker is the only lockscreen. Maybe undo the "disable stock lockscreen" option through widgetlocker? That's the only thing I can think of. Rest assured it is possible, that's the setup I use. You probably just have some conflicting settings somewhere.

I thought about trying to disable the "disable stock lockscreen" option.....I even went to do it...but it seems it's a one way option. There is no button for undoing it.
My thinking is that it's bugged out somehow.....regardless of how many lockscreens I have, popup notifications should best all of them, right?

You can just remove the lockscreen through adb. You will have the call answering issue...but maybe Chingy will let you use his mod that fixes it.

The more I read and play around with this, the more I think something is wrong - not just a setting that's off.
I uninstalled Widgetlocker, set the Personalize to have a lockscreen.
I checked to make sure that there was indeed a locker, noted which locker, then switched the type under personalize. Checked again....didn't do anything.
So even without any of the custom goodies, the lockscreen isn't working. There has got to be some bug or something here, right?

So I'm a dumbass, as was the expected result....I will share for the benefit of anyone having similar problems (to my shame).
I was using Nova Launcher, but had installed Go Launcher first because that's what I had with my old phone. With Go Launcher came Go Locker. Yeah. I had mistakenly believed that when I had stopped using Go Launcher, it stopped using Go Locker as well.....and it doesn't work that way.
So that lockscreen that I was seeing was actually Go Locker. I wasn't seeing any change when altering the Personalize options because GoLocker was eliminating the stock app without me knowing, putting itself in it's space.
What really threw me for a loop was when I installed Nolock and had THREE lockscreens....it appears that NoLock and GoLocker, each set to disable stock lock, will cancel each other out and allow the stock lock to run.....while not preventing themselves from making an appearance. If that makes sense. So I had GoLocker, Widgetlocker, and the stock lock all running at once......Go me!
Anyway, hope that helps someone.

hi guys, I'm using samsung galaxy s2 with Widgetlocker for screen locking, but everytime i reboot my phone, widgetlock requires me to unlock twice to see the home screen, i found once i reboot to the lock screen, the first time unlock screen is in tool mode(with menu button activate), then i unlock this screen, the second time unlock screen is the real unlock screen(with no button activate). i want 2 skip the first tool mode screen once i reboot, anyone can tell me how 2 do that?
I'm using WidgetLocker too, you can select the option to override the default Samsung lock at boot, however, you will still see the default Samsung lock for a few seconds when rebooting the phone, but it will go away pretty fast and WidgetLocker will replace it.

yup, i see it too, but the problem is after it overrides the default lock screen, i have to unlock twice to get to the home screen. btw, i'm using go launcher, i tried using ADWlauncher and LauncherPro, no this problem, it may caused by the launcher...
I'm using Easy-wake mode in WidgetLocker which disables default lockscreen. If you don't wanna use that just go to WidgetLocker's advanced settings and disable stock lockscreen, first option from the top
I'm getting the same problem easy wake mode doesn't help - you reboot the phone, it goes straight to widget locker as normal, then u unlock and it drops into tool mode, then u unlock from tool mode, to get to the launcher. However I have noticed that once you get to the launcher nothing displays - oh and something else, when you get to the tool mode it is only then the app requests superuser permission. Very strange.
I'm using Go Launcher Ex as well....
And something else I've noticed that after all this happens, when you deliberately go into tool mode, the menu button no longer works so I now can't get to the settings to submit a bug report
Infact I've had to uninstall and go back to the main lock screen for now until this is fixed...
I have no problem with WidgetLocker, but i gotta agree there are so many settings in it and if you don't choose them correctly WidgetLocker doesn't work the way you want. Even though i can understand English pretty well, i'm having troubles figuring out which option does what
I recommend you go in settings > manage app, delete all the widget locker data, delete widget locker, then reinstall.
With default settings, and my screen lock deactivated in settings, it behaves as expected.

hi, how to set WidgetLocker as default?
when i press the power button, i always need to unlock for 2 times. 1 time for widgetlocker, and 1 time is default screen lock..
Having the exact same issue. I am also using GoLauncher, so maybe there's the problem??
It is very frustrating as I really like this lock screen replacement.

Same here using Go Launcher that's why i use Go Lock screen now pretty slick with Sense theme even though less tweakable...
Try WL Beta 2.2.2+
Using WL 2.2.1 on rooted SG2 never had this issues so far on any firmware. At moment Im on kj3 Dutch. Search in XDA there is a beta WL came out last week or so you may want to try this.
I recently rooted my TB and installed the latest CM7 ROM. The only thing that bugs me about the ROM is that when I unlock it after being idle for a few minutes, it always returns to the last app or email or whatever was open before it locked. I would like it to always return to the Home Screen, or Desktop each time it is unlocked. So far, I have not been able to find any setting to make this happen. I was hoping someone might be able to give me a hand with it.
Thanks,
Mark
you could always just download "No Lock" from the market & just use the power on/off button to turn the screen on/off. then you wouldn't have to bother with the lock screen at all. i use that no matter if i'm on sense or aosp. always hated the lockscreen b.s.
Go into cm settings, lockscreen, style options, custom starter app. Set that to be the launcher of your default. Adw is the current defaulted launcher unless you have installed another 3rd party.

You can disable the lockscreen in the cm tablet tweaks settings. No need for 3rd party app.
Thanks for the replies guys. I was hoping to keep the unlock screen appearance the same, without adding more options. I like things to look clean and minimal. However, if it's not possible, then I'll just have to deal with it the way it is.
Thanks,
Mark
Did you ever find a solution?
I too am used to returning to the home screen when I turn my phone on, not the last app I used. Seems like it would be a simple setting...
Steve
Coming from Nexus One so AOSP/CM were what Im used to.
Im currently running quick sense.
ADW as my launcher.
Just a few questions.
1. Is there a way to remove the PULL RING lock screen at all ?
Or at the very least change the shortcuts ?
I have pattern lock but Im used to going directly to that when waking.
2. Are there any modified APKs of the messaging app ?
Lack of customization isnt made up by its high res UI and slick design.
Handcent and GoSms are nice but not high res so Im caught in between
3. Anyway to turn off home screen rotate ?
4. Contacts. Im very lost here.
Can I sync JUST the Facebook contacts I also have on my Google account ?
Seems like its all or nothing.
I like having say "brenda's" FB status and profile pick...but not her sisters jane and diane who are also FB friends.
5. Is there a way to enable track skip for the volume buttons ?
If Im listening to music Im used to being able to press Vol up/down to change tracks.
So far love the camera..light bleed is there but hasnt irritated me (yet)..very heavy/bulky...but great screen and Audio seems FAR better than my N1 so far. Battery life went from wtf ? to oh..pretty good with Quicksense.
Thanks!!

1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323703
2. Only the third party ones from the Market. I may be wrong though.
3. My home screen doesn't rotate. Maybe try Settings > Display and check/uncheck Auto-rotate screen.
4. Confused here. Do you want your Google contacts AND your Facebook or just your Facebook? Or do you want to sync certain Facebook contacts.
5. You can swipe your finger across the screen to change tracks. That's about it as far as I know.

Thanks for the response.
1. Will that give me the ability to bypass entirely ?
Currently
Powerbutton > Pull Ring > Pattern Lock
Power Button > Pattern lock is my goal.
2. ok
3. Thanks I realized I needed to do the same in ADW as I reinstalled yesterday.
4. I want all my Google contacts. But only SOME Facebook contacts.
There's only a few FB folks I want to call/text.
5. Hmmmm....

No. But there should be something on the Market to disable the lockscreen. I have a power control widget that has the option to disable the lockscreen when selected.

Currently, there isn't a way (that I am aware of) short of removing the contact from FB to prevent them from showing up. Alternatively, consider setting up groups such as Work, Friends, Class, Clan, Gang, Homies... whatever. I use the People widget on my homescreen with twelve or thirteen frequently used contacts and rarely need to go through my contacts at all. And with the People widget it also shows their latest FB Status, tweet, e-mail, missed call or sms. Maybe that helps?

Why not run Beastmod then?
It kills all Sense... Seems like you don't want Sense features since you are using ADW. Why run a bulky ROM for features you don't want?

Giving Sense a try. Im really just waiting for ICS , I figure Id give sense a fair shot before ditching it for an AOSP ROM.

I came over from an iPhone 4. I love Sense. Beastmod is cool but I like the weather clock and other features of Sense so I rock the Quick Sense. I want some ICS goodies too!!!
I've been through them all...sense is new to me only because I alway go aospfrom the get go.

Its pretty slick....just wish it was more customizable.
"1. Is there a way to remove the PULL RING lock screen at all ?

Yes - you can customize which icons are on the lock screen - you get at them from the 'personalize' icon on the home screen - lock screen - settings - and can assign any app to the lock screen.

But to do this yo have to be using the SenseUI launcher while trying to customize, then you can switch back to whatever. I learned this the hard way while using Launcher Pro

Beautiful. Thank you!
Once in a while i get the stock lockscreen instead of widgetlocker. Running stock ics rooted. Any ideas and is this common?
Seems related to calendar snooze popups. If i disable the popup it appears to work fine, at least so far.
I get the stock one instead a few times a day, at most. Seems like the stock one kicks in before WidgetLocker can disable it or something.

When that happens, have you had something else popup on your home screen (once you unlock something is waiting for you) because it seems like every time I have another app do that, widgetlocker fails to work.
Wondering if using the root functions would fix the problem as well.
I never had luck with widgetlocker working like it should on my phone.
Dies anyone know of there is a native option to have the home screens and App drawer rotate (to landscape). I checked the auto rotate option in settings but home screens and App drawer are fixed in portrait mode (settings screen and others do rotate). I had this feature on my g2 and wondering if they removed it. Thanks
I would also like to know if there is a way to get the launcher to rotate. I normally use Nova Launcher but I'm kind of fond of the LG G3's launcher minus this little issue. I'm rooted and have tried various options with G3 Tweaksbox and Gravitybox to no avail, also unlocked the hidden Home menu and found a couple of promising options, but nothing seems to apply. I supposed a rotation app might work, but I'd prefer not to run one.

Ok, I figured it out by accident. You need to enable hidden launcher settings using G3 Tweaksbox. Then go into the hidden settings and do the following:
(note these are both towards the end of the options)
UNCHECK the following "FEATURE_USE_PORTAIT_ONLY"
CHECK the following "FEATURE_USE_SYSTEM_ORIENTATION_CHANGE"
There are others that seem to be related to auto rotation, but I made the above changes and everything seems to be working fine except the stock 5x2 weather widget w time which won't load when rotating the screen to landscape. All others seem fine.
Sweet, thanks for posting this. I had the first one unchecked but hadn't done anything to the second one. Now, I'm rotating how I choose!

At first i was using save options in the 3rd tab but that did not nothing accept reset my homescreens so dont do that. All you have to do is make your changes and hit the home button.
Btw unrelated but figure I'd share. After swearing I'd stay with the stock launcher I moved to nova prime. The auto rotate feature is an option plus the smoothness cant be matched by stock. I also replicated everything to match what i had on the stock launcher. Oh and the replicated version of the 5x2 weather widget i mentioned rotates fine with nova.

Yep, reset my homescreen setup. Ouch!!!!
I'll stick to stock. I don't the stock widget. I use Weatherbug Elite, since Blackberry Storm days....
I don't have any lag. I froze almost everything. I'm good. Just like the rotate because I use the phone horizontally in the car.
Thanks

Did you follow any specific list to freeze? I froze a ton but feel theres more. Just being lazy and dont want deal with the consequences if i freeze something i shouldn't.
Noob Question
Noob question but after turning the hidden settings on in Tweaksbox, I cant find the hidden settings!
Where are the hidden settings?
I was excited because I really want the homescreen to be able to rotate to landscape, but I can't seem to find the hidden settings you talk of. Are they still in the G3 Tweaksbox app or somewhere else? When I check the "Enable LG launchers hidden settings" I get the checkbox, but nothing else happens, even after I reboot. What am I missing?
I'm on a LG G2 with the CloudyG3 port installed

for the g 3 at least it's located under the home screen settings on the settings at the bottom.
The two settings mentioned worked perfectly for me. Many thanks, rotation locker also worked but this is better since it sticks each boot.
Is there a guide anywhere that details what each of the settings in this hidden menu does?

I have searched but haven't been able to find anything. If anyone knows, I'd be very interested in this also.
My G3 was doing this yesterday. Put it on safe mode and auto rotate started working again. Restarted the phone and now it works fine. Go figure. Software bug.
It's been about ten minutes and so far so good. I have a Sprint G3.
