First of all :
I searched about this problem and found nothing. I wouldn't post here if I could have found a solution by myself.

Hello,

I'm using NeutrinoGT 2.2 ROM and I would like to use WidgetLocker and the fingerprint scanner. Here is what I would like to get :

1 - Press Power or Volume keys to wake up the phone. WidgetLocker appears.
2 - Swipe my finger.
3 - Phone unlock.

But here is what I have :

1 - Press Power or Volume keys to wake up the phone. WidgetLocker appears.
2 - Swipe finger : Haptic feedback.
3 - Widgetlocker stay on the screen. I must slide the tab to unlock my phone.

OR


1 - Press Power or Volume keys to wake up the phone. WidgetLocker appears.
2 - Slide the tab.
3 - CM7 lockscreen appear.
4 - Swipe my finger. Haptic feedback. Phone unlocked.

I also checked CM settings/lockscreen/disable Lockscreen. If not, I have to slide one more tab each time I unlock the phone (CM7's tab)
I'm using lastest WidgetLocker from market.

What should I do ? Where am I wrong ?

Thanks in advance !

why would you use another locker on top of 2 lockers already in the phone?i am also using neutrino and for me,i don't have the widget locker

without it,my phone is like this(no settings yet):
1.press power/unlock button or volume keys
2.cm7 slide to unlock
3.finger scanner slide finger
4.unlock

after turning off the cm7->lockscreen->unlock option->skip on security,it goes like this:
1.press power/unlock button or volume keys
2.cm7 slide finger to unlock
3.unlock

imho,you should just uninstall the widget locker

I know, but I would like to have a customized lockscreen with music controls, weather, etc.
And that's not possible with CM7 stock lockscreen.

well,i think you know how to remove cm7's slide to unlock.if not,i did post it before.

i don't know what's so special about widget unlocker since never use it before.but if you want the music,you can use winamp and poweramp.though don't know the weather widget

well,this is my suggestion.skip the finger scanner all together if possible.it's a nuisance actually(though i've gotten used to it)just use the widget locker's unlock.the widget locker is made for ever normal phone and the only phone that have a finger scanner is only the atrix.so the company won't make an exception to make a finger scanner JUST FOR THE ATRIX.so your options are:

1.go through at least 2 lockscreen(widget locker+fingerprint)
2.skip the fingerprint(get all the widget locker goodness)
3.skip widget locker(get a more secure unlocker:finger print scanner)

My problem is that WidgetLocker doesn't work with the fingerprint scanner, although it should work. It is stated here.
WidgetLocker should disappear when I swipe my finger. But it does not.
I know this is possible, this guy succeeded.

I'm not interested in PowerAMP or other apps. I just want to use WidgetLocker because it is a really great app.

hmm,well this i cannot comment.why don't you just pm the guy who actually stumbled upon it.he did say it was because of the update.sorry,can't help anymore.

imo,it's more of the app update related kind of problem and can't be solved by normal enable/disable options.just my opinion.

good luck on finding the solution

edit:re-read the post and seemed like it was almost luck-related solution.also,the last post sort of stated the possible solution.also do note the date.it's july last year so it does not necessarily work now as some updates could have screwed up your chance to get it working.again just my opinion

re-edit again: pm the guy that did it

I'm so new with CM, didn't have a chance to explore a newly flashed Neutrino yet, but your post skip me the hassle.

Can Neutrino's CM7 have this option:
to unlock screen, you have to swipe finger OR enter PIN.
On the lockscreen, there's a button to directing you alternative way to unlock (by entering correct PIN).
The current Gingerbread support this ( I don't know about stock, I used to have PieCrust 1.6)
