Jpbme, on your lockscreen, can you use the flashlight, ringer button and mixzing without unlocking the screen? If so, do you ever accidentally turn on flashlight or mixzing by unknowingly tapping screen with finger? I mean, how does it work?
Well WidgetLocker is very customizable. The flashlight and ringer are sliders (just like the stock android slider) and so I don't ever accidentally turn those on since you have to slide it across. The mixzing I have turned on ONCE by accident. But I put it at the top because I knew I would hit it less often. However, you also have the option to turn off interactions so you can't just tap it and turn it on, or you can make a slider to 'toggle interactions', and then slide that out to allow interactions, then play/pause your music, or interact with any widgets you choose to put on the lockscreen (you can put any widget except the HTC widgets) Really it's like another homescreen and you can put anything you want on there. I know a lot of people put the camera or shazam/soundhound on there to take a picture or tag a song quickly. Pretty cool app. I have seen the term sliders and ringers come up frequently in this board, I should know what it is by now... but sorry I am lost...  I do have a question though, obviously your screen is off when you put it in your pocket (I hope so!) but while walking around and stuff or if you have stuff in your pocket other than your phone (or not) I know its possible to cause the power button to trigger the screen and then while still walking around your lock screen can be activated as the phone slides around or thinks its sliding around... I don't see a foolproof to keep this from happening except to holster the phone? |

I don't see a foolproof to keep this from happening except to holster the phone? A slider is just something you slide to activate. For example on the stock HTC Sense Lock screen you slide down the slider to unlock. And on my home screen, the android looking sliders you slide across to activate. Ringers is just the name used by this widget to change my phone ringer. I have my right slider set up to switch between 'normal' and 'vibrate' modes, to adjust how my phone rings when I get a call/message. As for having things in your pocket. Your phone won't respond to other things touching your phone except your finger (there may be some exceptions), but generally, try to use another object other than your finger or thumb to interact with your phone and it won't respond. |

That's the thing, I did try that I used a heavy bath towel (not wet either) and I could still unlock the screen which leads me to believe the rubbing against my thigh could advertedly do that ONLY if the power button were to be activated first though and it would have to be done sequentially... impossible? No, likely? no and its possible though??? Hey Khassy, quick question... I started setting up the calwidget and I noticed calwidget depends on sizes like 3x1 4x1 etc and then I noticed that depending whether you have live wallpaper active or not will depend on how well it shows up... I can't seem to figure out how you got the clock, calwidget AND all those icons on one screen... :S |

The power button is pretty hard to push on purpose, I can't see accidentally pushing it while its in a pocket. However, I use a program called Call Confirm to help prevent pocket dialing, just in case.
As far as the screen goes, my CalWidget is set up using the 4x2 agenda size. I don't use a live wallpaper so I can't say how it works with that, but the colors, background, etc., is highly customizeable. And the icons on the bottom are using a Launch-X row.
I hate to keep asking how to do it, I setup calwidget to use 4x2 and I have the clock up top and I tried to fit in the launcher X widget, says it won't fit, I am not using a live wallpaper and part of the agenda is cut off by the HTC sense buttons at the bottom, when I use a live wallpaper the agenda is properly fitted but there are not many live wallpapers I like and there's more variety in static wallpapers  |

Are you using the regular size Beautiful Widgets or the smaller one? I use the smaller one that only takes up one row. If you like astronomy at all, I recommend the Astronomy Picture of the Day app. It changes your background every day to a new astronomy/space scene. You can see some of the photos they use here: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ (click the archive button on the bottom). Hahaha... I knew that was the problem after I put my phone next to your screenie... that makes a ton of sense! |

Most of us use widgetlocker it seems, widget locker works fine and replaces the default locker for the most part.
The only time the widget locker does not work is when an inbound call is coming in, it uses the default locker to accept or reject the call but that's the only way the CID will work.
I have noticed pressing the home button long will override any lock screen including default and you can just pick which launcher yopu want!

love the clock widget!! what app is that? I couldn't find it on the market. I found BattStatt, and clockr which just shows the time, but not one with the full date. edit: never mind did some googling and found it. if anyone else is curious it's not on the market yet, it's called TypoClock, you can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814054 |

I use just three 5x5 screens (s1,s2,s3) with two scrollable LauncherPro docks (d1,d2): s1: Jorte 4x3 monthly & 4x2 tasks widgets s2: Tajm clock widget and two SwitchPro widgets (3G, hotspot, 4G, WIFI; bluetooth, flashlight, brightness, battery) s3: Mixzing large art widget d1: Handcent SMS, stock dialer, K-9 Mail, stock camera, Google Maps d2: The middle icon is the app drawer; the rest are Smart Shortcuts app folders.    Edit: Also, please note that I keep my notification bar hidden. |

That looks slick. How did you get the icons to show as text at the bottom? |

LauncherPro is a replacement for HTC Sense, the default interface. Once it's implemented, the stock "^phone+" dock becomes a user-customizable dock to which one can assign apps/shortcuts as well as icons. My icons are simple-text images. I found them while digging around a few related fora (xda, af..). |

I found them while digging around a few related fora (xda, af..). You can also make the icons into any picture on the web. Here is how i made mine. 1. From lap top or phone browser search any pic you want. 2. Send it to your email 3. Open the attachment with your phone's email and save to SD 4. Enable ShootMe (app from market) 5. Locate the downloaded pic in your file manager (I use Astro from the market, Sd Card<downloads<find the pic you want) 6. View picture and pinch to the size of your screen or what ever size you want and activate ShootMe (i have mine set on shake to capture) 7. Long press on the icon you want to change on your deck, select change icon, select custom icon, scroll to the ShootMe file and hit the pic you want. Thats how i got the little android guy you see in the middle of the dock in the attachment below. Probably a better way to go about it but worked for me. |
