New Update to WidgetLocker!! ICS
- Thread starter alm0614
- Start date
I've known of WidgetLocker for quite some time. Was never interested in "customizing" my lock screen. Seemed pretty silly actually.
But, now that I have WL, and have it set to Sense 3 theme, I realize:
- How many times a day I unlock my phone, and making that task easier really adds up
- How easy it is to swipe-to-open with the Sense 3 theme - when one-handing my phone, there's no more awkward thumb actions (reaching across the screen to grab the unlock widget when holding it righty, or scrunching up my thumb to grab it when holding it lefty)
- How quickly I can get to my camera - just 1 swipe!
- How convenient it is to view Beautiful Widget info without having to unlock the phone
My hats off to the developer of this app!

I may actually get this again then. I can not stand things in my notification bar. In my notification bar I want, you know...notifications, not an app icon.
Yesterday I had the phone on without Widget Locker for 14 hours and ended up at about 30%. With Widget Locker (non updated version) the phone would've been dead 3 hours ago. Again, this is the non updated version. I'll go a couple of days more without the app and then activate it again in order to see what the battery life is like. I hope it works as I really liked the features it had as I liked having the camera and flashlight easy to access as well as able to read an email without having to unlock.
I've had mine on and no difference in battery life. Others have said the same . Make sure you update to the new version which is 2.2.1 .

I have read on the comments page for the app in the market about it not replacing the stock lock screen and people having to unlock 2 locks with this? Is there a way around this? With only a 15 minute window for a refund I want to make sure it is cool. It's only three bucks but any time I pay for an app I want it to be awesome (likee camera zoom fx-totally worth the $6).
Sounds like battery is not an issue any more, as long as there is a way to disable the stock lock I am in!

Replaces original lock screen fine. Need to keep in mind that people posting comments may not always know what they are doing
Also zero battery issues. Awesome app combined with Beautiful Widgets!

Long press on the lock screen and add Widgets and applications. Also press the menu button while on the lock screen and set up WL to your liking.
