I'm the dev of WidgetLocker. I use it on Froyo on my Nexus One and on my Droid Incredible. However I don't have an HD2. I'd be surprised if it's causing this problem but I'm happy to support it/fix a bug if there is one. The current release does sometimes leave the system keyguard in a weird state.

hazard99, shoot me an email (or PM but include your email address) if you want to be a beta tester. I'm planning on releasing it in a day or two anyway, but it'd be nice to add an HD2 user to the beta team.

hmm, I've got the Market-paid version of Widget Locker (was for my Milestone). Might give it a go on my darkstone-based froyo build on my Euro HD2 and see what happens.

EDIT: Just tested, could not replicate the issue described by hazard99. Only issue I had was that the standard froyo lockscreen would popup instead of the WidgetLocker lockscreen for the first few times I pressed a button to wake the phone, but afterwards that went away. Tested with both Easy Wake option enabled and disabled, version 1.0 of WidgetLocker. Default options (ie. unchecked) for everything else. I'm also using Darkstone v1 with 03/08 cotulla kernel.

I just had the same experience - blank screen but the phone was responding.
Then I remembered that DroidExplorer on the PC has a tool called ScreenCast. Using it I was able to operate the phone and realise that WidgetLocker set the screen brightness to 0.. Strange that. Re-set it to auto and all is well now.

Maybe disable auto brightness if you got it on.
