Hi there.  I've been using widget locker in conjunction with Tasker for several years now.  To my knowledge it is the only lockscreen replacement supported by tasker.  But it's starting to look outdated and hasn't been supported in years.  Are there alternatives?

Basically I need a lockscreen replacement that gives me:

1.  Compatibility with tasker.  Tasker must know when it is locked and unlocked to trigger specific tasks.

2.  Freedom to choose which widgets and where

3. Hides the notification bar and navigation buttons

4. Preferably plays well with android security, so that after unlocking the locker it goes straight to the security lock.  Currently there is a redundant swipe I have to go through.

Thanks in advance.

When you say it can't hide the nav bar... How do you prevent it from unlocking to the homescreen?

Back/home/menu can all be blocked from going to homescreen but recent apps cant be so pressing recent apps bypasses the lockscreen. Thats why I said No to ? #4. You have a 2hr refund window though so give it a shot or checkout the Lightning Launcher G+ community there might be a script there you can use to make it more secure or if you know Javascript maybe you can make it more secure yourself.

I'll look into it.  Pretty useless if it recalls recent apps.  Can you access them or just see them?

Access em If security's your main concern its definitely not for you but 3 outta 4 aint bad either. You could always have a double lock since the system lock can be used azwell and with scripts anythings possible (I think)

WLs probably dead judging by the email my bro got.
