Ok, I'll try to describe how to you, if you don't already know how to do this. Go to look and feel in the setting, and select layout. Once you're in the layout, look at top left corner you see a picture of grid. There is a picture of lock at the bottom of grid call the anchor. Pull the grid over the anchor by dragging the arrow in the grid picture. Once you no longer see the anchor, down in the middle of layout, you see where you can enter the grid size manually, go head and enter the grid size you want.Once you're finished, you can go back to your widget lock screen and put the locker any where on the page, because now it's like a widget, and not confined like an anchor.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly without your help that's impossible to reach----
Now it's great

Happy to be able to assist. It took me sometime to figure that one out too when I first gotten the app.

WL & variable sliders

Hi there everyone! First-time poster here, but seasoned reader and viewer of xda forums!

I made this account to ask you guys a question about a certain implementation which has stumped me.

I have multiple ''unlocking'' sliders on my lockscreen (see attachment), but only ONE truly unlocks my screen, while the others via Secure Settings & Tasker do certain stuff. (ask for password, take a picture, lock phone, etc.).

Could you tell me if it is possible to change THE ONE slider that unlocks my phone, depending on ...lets say... the time?
If the time ends in a 9 (eg. 00:49) then the 9th slider unlocks the phone, or, when the time is 11:55 the 5th slider unlocks the phone.
I'm asking you guys, because with this, i will have no need for passwords or patterns for extra security, but a simple, but certain, slide-to-unlock gesture.

Is there a way to make WL so variable?
..please help..

(edit) PS: i hope you all have a great New Year!!

I need a couple of lines of static text -- clock works but has other issues.

Is there any other way to display a couple of lines of static text
for the lock screen, (other than using the built-in clock widget)?
Or perhaps just using the display text fields and suppress
everything else the built in widget displays?

Ideally, a widget that does nothing but display the text .

I'd like to use one of the standard clock / weather widgets
for the clock functionality.

Thanks

Hi, I recently got a note 4 and now I can't remove remove the default lockacreenclock on widget locker while I can still remove everything else. Tried clearing data and uninstalled but it still won't work.

Why does Widget Locker keep Forcing Close every time I try to simply edit the default Clock/Calendar/Owner Info lockscreen widget on my Xperia Z3? I've never had any issues with the app on my previous Xperia PLAY device.

Is there a way to set a lockscreen wallpaper in WidgetLocker without it needing to crop it? I created this wallpaper to perfectly fit with my callendar widget but this keeps happening.
Theres nothing wrong with the wallpaper, it fits perfectly if I set it as the home screen wallpaper and make WidgetLocker use the same wallpaper

Question about what I am going to call "true lock"

Please point me in the right direction if this answer has already been answered somewhere and I missed it. I don't even know if this is possible or if maybe I'm just not smart enough. Disclaimer: I'm fairly new to the smartphone world. The question I have is this: If I put an app on my lock screen such as Phone, or flashlight and I access Phone or flashlight from the lock screen, I know that I can return to the lock screen by pressing the back button. I also see that if I access an app such as Phone of Flashlight from the lock screen if I press the home button I get into the phone. Is there a setting or is it even possible to set the phone so that if I access an app such as phone or flashlight from the lock screen, I can only go back to the lock screen?

I think the question you're asking is one of many reasons that this app needs to be updated. I have stopped using widget locker because the button issue, and the security issue as well Anytime I can push the home button to get into my device, so how can anyone call this app a screen locker? Calling it a screen saver may make more sense because there is no security to speak of with this app.

I actually managed to find exactly what I was looking for this weekend. C Locker locks out the home button. If you go to an app from the lockscreen and press the home button, you get taken back to the lockscreen. I splurged and shelled out the $2.49 for C Locker Pro. You will need to go to Other Options and turn on Enable Return to Lock Screen. Much happiness I am experiencing.

After I read your reply, I decided to give c locker pro a try. I must say it's much better than widget locker right now in term of security and features. Thank you for mentioning c locker pro, now I don't have to rely on go locker as my screen locker. Too bad for widget locker because if the dev just update the app, it can so much better than it is right now, but as of now, widget locker is just too out dated to be use as a screen locker.

Ok, I was wrong about home button on widget locker. It turns about all I have to do is select the home help feature under advance in a menu. Then select system home as widdget locker will prevent going to the launcher when the home button is pressed. With that said, widget locker still has a lot of updating to do, especially now I have tried C locker, it has many features, such as security and UI that widget locker needs to get.

Lockscreen

After I slide the slider in widget locker I have to do the same with the next screen where I am presented with the Android lock screen.
Is there anyway to bypass the android slider so it goes straight to the unlock screen where I enter my pin

hawkwind212 · Apr 18, 2015

If you're using the pin of stock lock screen, which you're suppose to turn it off if you're using widget lock. Go to system setting, security, and set lock screen to none. That's about only way you don't have to go through two different lock screen. Either that or don't use widget locker. That's what I'm saying about widget locker, it needs its own lock security, which many other lock screen apps such as c locker or go locker have.

Toggle button

Hi,

Do you know if exists (or how create) a toggle boutton (custom slider ?) that would allow me :
1 / state 1 : display an icon n°1 (for the button) and launch a shortcut n°1
2 / by clicking the button, it will switch from previous state n°1 to new state n°2
3 / state 2 : display another icon n°2 and launch another shortcut n°2

It sounds simple to do (1 button toggles in 2 states with 2 icons) but can not (and yet , I spent time for) :crying:

Kinds Regards
