Is there an option to prevent accidental icons displacement, like locking them in place?
In drawer or launcher?
In launcher just set in developersettings a destktop password and in drawer I don't know.

I just needed to lock icons on my home screen.
But, thank you.

This is not something you can't live without, but it's long been available in an alternative ROM. (which I've decided to abandon for now)
FYI
sense 6 toolbox offers that option ....sense toolbox / sense mods / tick ..home pop up ... now the home screen menu when you press the home button will have a lock option

Hi guys,
Being using widget locker for some time now.
When I went into setting>advance >disable screen lock..
Now the phone wakes up with any key making the slide to unlock useless.
All I want to do is to to disable easy lock..but there isn't any option in widget locker nor in phone settings..
Where do I disable easy wake?

Sorry, I'm not exactly sure what you mean.
But, if you go to Settings -> Buttons & Inputs -> Easy Wake Mode, you have the option of enabling/disabling.

I've disabled easy mode now. But when I press home key while widget locker is active it unlocks the phone...anyway to stop home key from responding while widget locker is active?

Ah, gotcha, I get what you mean now.
Unfortunately, I can't figure it out either. One of the menus in Widgetlocker says it has no control over what buttons wake the device because that is controlled by the Android OS, so it doesn't look like that can be changed.
However, I do recall that in VillainTweaks for VillainRom there is an option for disabling the home button for the lockscreen. I don't know if you're on VillainRom or if that option will work for Widgetlocker or just the stock lockscreen, but that might be helpful.

Hi,
You can disable the home key to wake up the device:

When i shut my phone off and turn it back on it will get to the widget locker lock screen like it should but once i slide to unlock there will be no icons on my screen? I have root and am using widgetlockers home helper thing it also did this using lancher pro.
I usually have to turn the phone on and off a few times before the icons will show after unlock.
Any ideas?
Maybe you should set it to default when it asks which one you want to use..
Or I haven't understood your problem
COnfused.com
I would ask in the widget locker and go launcher help thread in the main android app section. I use both in conjunction and have had zero issues but I know the last go update was fixing some icon issues so make sure you update.
Also more info could be helpful. Such as what rom, kernel, etc
go lancher is set as the default. It's once you unlock from the lock screen there will be no icons.
I'm using the stock ROM rooted KE7 2.3.3

Are you using the integrated icon switching or are you using desktop Visualizer?

I'm not sure what you mean? I really haven't did anything but set go lancher as the default lancher and in widget locker i had to set it to use WL HomeHelper (optional) if i don't you can double press the home button and bypass the screen lock.
It's random when the icons don't come up after a unlock.

Are you using custom icons? If not, or even if so bring it up to the go dev team. Definitely looks to be something on their end. Have to tried to replicate it without widget locker?
Nothing to do with widget locker I think (I use it too in conjuction with Go Launcher) however there seems to be a bit of a bug in Go Launcher where icons randomly disappear - the last update was supposed to have fixed that but hasn't really, some still occasionally go missing from my home screens too. The easiest thing to do for now is to put all your apps and shortcuts how you want them, then backup the configuration from within Go Launcher preferences, next time they go walkies just hit restore configuration and job done. Just remember to back up the config every time you add or remove stuff.
I'm using go launcher and widgetlocker for 24 hours now and having no problems at all, initially the launcher was slow, but after 1-2 hours when I used it again, it was smooth, maybe cache related thing

I am using go lancher themes from the market. It did it again the whole screen is blank after a unlock no icons at all only the wallpaper shows. Lancher Pro did the same thing.
I can go into go lancher settings click on themes and nothing comes up.
I used widgetlocker and go launcher ex. I have not had any problems.
Preferences -> Operation settings -> Screen rotation (switch off)
I had the same problem, got rid of it by applying this setting. Wish you luck
Already had the rotation off.
If i hold down the home button after i unlock and bring up the task manger and find widget locker and do a force close all my icons come back.
As a note, I get this exact same issue with ADW Launcher EX.
Happens only right after a reboot, and not every time - WidgetLocker Lockscreen appears, I unlock and find a completely blank screen (Only the notification bar shows). Pressing the menu button brings up the ADW Launcher Ex menu though...
Restarting ADW Launcher doesn't seem to help, only rebooting a couple times until it does appear seemed to help me, but I'll try force closing widget locker itself next time.
I initially set ADW as default launcher, but then set the WL HomeHelper as default in widgetlocker settings, which I believe is the correct way to do it to block the home button from auto unlocking etc.
Edit: Restarted the phone just to test, and force closing widgetlocker does do the trick - minor annoyance only I guess

Yes it is for me it seems to only do it when i'm in a hurry lol
I use widgetlocker and GoLauncher too.
I've had the same problem this morning too, but a reboot of the device fixed the problem.
I've had similar issues without Widgetlocker installed, so I think the cause is to be found in GoLauncher. But the phone reboots very fast so I am not really bothered by it.
I used LP and switched to GO Launcher.
GoLauncher is set as default launcher at the first boot.
In WidgetLocker i disabled the homebutten with homehelper to stop the unlock by the homebutton.
No the problem:
When i reboot, there is a message that says "go launcher is not your default launcher." (Attach 1)
When i click ok, i'm in the assignments of WidgetLocker (Attach 2)
When i disable the homehelper in WL there is no problem when i reboot.
But i want to disable the homebutton...
Any ideas?
BTW: LP is disabled!
I'm using Litening Rom 6.1
I had exactly the same issue and stopped using Go Launcher as a result. It would only happen sometimes but it would require me to restart my phone. I now use ADW instead and it works fine.
Currently using Nova Launcher and I can't find the lockscreen orientation toggle. Do I need to get Ultimate lockscreen app or whatever thats called?
Am I the only one that gets annoyed by this?
I think, you can try the Nova Launcher setting.
1. Click the menu (left of the home button)
2. Nova Launcher setting (not sure any, but it should be in there)
Good luck anyway.

Hi experts,
the A100 have by default "5 Screens" you can put your applications or widgets on
My question is if there is a way to reduce the number to 1 or 2 ?
Thanks,

Depends on the launcher in use if that can be done or not.

Not sure about the default launcher, it's been a long time since I've used it but I know you can with other launchers like Nova plus you get many other options. Just install it and let it export everything from your default launcher. You can then change the number of screens in the settings or by pressing the home button from the center home screen.

will give it a try
Is it possible to do so?
I like the double tap screen off feature in LG's software but really hates the default icons. If I use Nova launcher to replace the icons, I will not have the default double tap screen off.
I can still use Nova's double tap gesture to activate a screen off app, however that will not work with the smart (location) unlock feature in lollipop and I will need to enter my pin everytime.
I double tap the status bar in Nova and it still turns off the screen.
I use Nova Launcher combined with Screen Off And Lock. I set Nova's double tap gesture to Screen Off And Lock. Nova with double tap on and off.

I am using that too. But it will instantly lock the screen even if I'm on smart lock mode.
The default icons are among the worst I have seen. Amazing you cannot install icon packs.
Idk what you guys are talking about but I was able to install an icon pack without a third party launcher. Go to settings>home screen>theme

So glad I'm no longer with Verizon.
I just might have to go back to good old proven GO Launcher and then set my OWN icons and get notifier numbers over the app icons and set a slew of other settings. I was hoping to not have to use a launcher just so I could avoid the added layer of a launcher but... no dice with the stock setup.
Long press on icon and you should be able to change them individually.... After the icon is selected with a purple paintbrush, tap it one more time and choose a downloaded icon.
