Lockscreen Widgets 2.0.0 (Patreon)

It's time for a pretty big release of Lockscreen Widgets: version 2.0.0!

The biggest change in this version is the merger of Widget Drawer's features. That means you get a fullscreen vertically scrolling drawer you can call up from anywhere using either an onscreen handle or a shortcut action. This drawer is a separate set of widgets from Lockscreen Widgets' widget frame, so you can customize it how you like without interfering.

Lockscreen Widgets and Widget Drawer have had very similar codebases for a while now, and it's been a hassle and timesink to update both with similar fixes. Now that there's only one app to deal with, people using either feature will benefit from faster and more frequent updates.

For Widget Drawer users, there are also some improvements to the drawer in this version. Instead of having to enter an editing mode to resize widgets from the bottom bar, they can now be modified the same way as in the widget frame: long-press to resize, move, or remove. On top of that, you can now back up and restore your widgets.

And if you only want to use Lockscreen Widgets or Widget Drawer, you can! Both are now disabled by default and can be easily toggled from the main screen of the app. (Lockscreen Widgets users, make sure to enable the frame when you update.)

If you bought Widget Drawer on the Play Store, send me an email with your receipt or using your purchase email and I'll give you a promo code for Lockscreen Widgets.

There's more than just the addition of Widget Drawer in this version, though. There are also a bunch of tweaks and fixes.

- The drawer should have better scrolling behavior vs. Widget Drawer.
- The main screen of the app has been redesigned in Compose.
- A QS tile toggle has been added for the drawer.
- Battery optimizations have been made if the drawer is enabled but the frame isn't.
- The drawer and frame should more reliably hide/dismiss the lock screen when a widget opens an app.
- Calling up the drawer should no longer open the app itself vs. Widget Drawer.
- Crashes have been fixed.
