Default [Q] Anyone have widget locker problems with CM7?

Is anyone else having problems with widget locker? Sometimes it'll randomly stop working and the screen becomes black except for the status bar, then I get a popup that it's frozen so I hit force close and i have to hit force close for it close. I usually have to reboot after it closes for it to work properly again.


Anyone else having similar issues?

Yes I'm having problems as well lots of force closes... what do u mean "widget locker"? When an app or anything really malfunctions open the app drawer and long press the app. It will pop up a little box, click app info and then u can force it to stop.. this should alleviate the need for reboot..

Widget Locker is an app. It's a lockscreen replacement. For some reason money FC's and freezes a lot. Its the only thing that's giving me problems.

I seem to have that issue with "money" a lot also.

Sorry couldn't help my self. Sorry you are having issues, but I can't run WL even on stock... it's very buggy for me.

GL, Slim!

I have noticed CM7 and MIUI both have problems with Super User keeping the permissions set for apps that require root access. I find a lot of the apps that require root permissions act this way. Try turning off root helper in widget locker settings if you have that enabled and see if it still happens.
My Devices:
Galaxy Nexus / HP TouchPad (Both on Jelly Bean)
Droid X2
Palm Pre Plus
Palm Centro
Everything before that doesn't matter.

i did have an issue with giving root access to widget locker. the app would freeze, but once I did a reboot and tried again it worked. Now the only issue I have is I can not expand the notification window from the lockscreen. Never had an issue on stock GB, or using eclipse rom. but with CM7 i can not get to the notification window from the lockscreen.

I have the same issue. Disabling the Root Helper fix it.
