Widgets on the lock screen

[philnolan3d]

Is this possible? It would be really nice to put a battery widget on there like the iPhone so you can see how far along it is when charging without having to unlock it every time.

Thanks, I just noticed that it does say "Charging 90%" or whatever amount, but a widget will still be better, I'll look at that.

+2 for widgetlocker. I too love this app. found it like 4 days ago, have the sense UI unlock screen with 4 custom sliders. Love it. Oh, and btw, the best battery widget in my opinion is battery left widget. Once it's done calibrating, it show ur battery level so perfectly accurate, and it tells you the exct time its gna die.

Thanks for that I'm using battery status now which looks nice but seems buggy.

Here is my lock screen as it stands now. Also, you can see my battery meter widget, it normally displays the time it is going to die instead of the lightning bolt. (it was charging)

Thanks, I've been using it for a couple of hours now, waiting for it to calibrate.

BTW I don't mean to go too far off topic, but how did you take the screenshot?

Heres the info

Hmm, no luck, the ddms.bat file just opens a DOS window for a half second and then nothing.

I have the exact same issue right now.
2 days loading, unloading applying and reapplying and still no luck

it will take several charge/discharge cycles for itto calibrate. I think i've been through like 5-6 cycles, and it still only at 95 out of 100. It helps if you run the phone completely dwon before you recharge. As for the screenshots, that is a bit more complicated. but if you really wana do it, just follow these steps. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Sadly after a ton of installing, ddms.bat still just flashes a DOS window and nothing else. Maybe after a reboot or something.
