Widget Locker problem with JB?

[apagan4182]

'm also interested in learnng the procedure. I checked the "HomeHelper Component" box and Selected Nova Launcher as the "app to be called" but do I need to do anything with Select System Home or HomeHelper Block Home?

With 4.1.2, widget locker played havoc with my phone so ive uninstalled it and the dev is realised.
Ive realised now i dont need a lock screen as i use a flip case and "flip case control" app


Unbranded international rooted s3 with Official 4.1.2 JB. Paisley, Scotland, Western Europe :beer:

Go to Widget Locker settings > Advanced > Home Helper. Check box for 'HomeHelper Component'. For 'HomeHelper's Launcher', select your default launcher (Nova, Apex, etc...). For 'Select System Home', select 'WL HomeHelper' and make sure you select 'Always'.

I've been experiencing the same issues on all variations of a TouchWiz JB rom (stock, Clean rom 5.5.1, Jelly Beans 8). I'm on a Verizon S3. The above has resolved it for me.

What he said ^^

No jelly bean problems here since the home helper thing

I followed those steps for home helper, but its the worst work around ever. It makes my home button sort of glitchy (everywhere else included) and I can still access or close any open app with the recent apps button while the phone is supposed to be locked. Anything else I can try short of rooting my device?

i have just tried to make a conscious effort to wake the phone up by using the power button instead of the home buttom. Only way I can get it to work.

Well my device doesn't have a physical home button. The problem is on the actual lock screen. But that's still kind of a lame solution. It defeats the whole purpose of the locker. Ei: locking the device

Thank You! This has been a source of annoyance for some time. Your solution seems to be the ticket!
