Widgetlocker

[Mordecaidrake]

Anyone have this app and if so hows it run on the Thunderbolt? Does a notification icon say around while the app is being used?

I own this app, but I haven't used it on the Thunderbolt. But I did use it on my Droid. It worked fairly well, but yes, it did require a persistent notification icon to ensure that it stays in memory. Also, on my Droid, it didn't always replace the lock screen. On occasion, may 1 in 20 times, but often enough to be annoying, the standard lock screen would appear instead of WidgetLocker when I woke up my phone. If I pressed the power button to turn off the screen and then pressed it again to wake it up again, WidgetLocker would appear. It was annoying, but happened infrequently enough that I still used it.

You can hide the notification. I use widget locker on my tbolt... love it...

Works perfectly on my t-bolt... and as was mentioned you can hide the notification icon... as well as the notification bar...

I don't care for the HTC lock screen so I was thinking of picking it up, worth it then? I hate persistent notifications, it's good knowing you can turn it off.

It's great, I no longer use the power button to wake the screen. Instead I use the volume buttons so I don't accidently shut it off.

Where did you get that custom slider? Or rather what is it called?

It's Minimal Mod theme, and I believe you can get it thru the 'get theme' function within the app.

wont let me download/install the theme?

Edit 1: Figured it out, had to manually put the zip in the theme folder
Edit 2: what app are you using for the battery charging and message notification?

I love it, and it works flawlessly for me. I'll post a screen shot later, I love my setup.

that battery widget doesn't do text, also what's the clock app? Sorry so many questions I'm looking for a very simple looking UI similar to my homescreen(just posted on the homescreen page)

This app made my reboots much worse. Anyone have a similar experience?

I've had no reboots on my t-bolt, and Ive had this app loaded since day one.

Thanks man, my lock screen is now awesome haha. That text notifier app, 99cents right?

widgetlocker totally borked my phone. won't work at all for some reason.

 

[Mordecaidrake]

I bought it, runs great. Missedit! doesn't seem to work correctly, refunded it. Any other suggestions for a notification app that displays as text?

 

[WhoMe]

I have it and used it on my T-Bolt. It does work and offers tons of options to customize your lockscreen. However I found it to be slower than the stock lock screen. It was fractions of a second mind you, but I could feel the difference and ultimately it annoyed me to the point where I disabled it and went back to stock. This is a little objective, but it just felt hacked....not as polished an interaction as the stock lock screen. It does offer a lot and overall its a nice app, but its an app....not a true mod or patch of the stock lock screen.

 

[Mordecaidrake]

I can't get that Missedit! app parameters right, how did you get it to display what you got?

Edit: fixed it, this is now awesome
