So I was just wondering if it would be possible for live widgets to be your lockscreen? For example I could have my news app widget on my lockscreen so I could just glance at my phone and check the news.

Have you tried WidgetLocker Lockscreen by Teslacoil Software?
Check the Android Market for it. It's a $1.99 (U.S.D.) app.

What are you looking for to make it "good"? Facebook has a good Facebook app.
So far as widgets, the Launcher Pro Premium version has great widgets for both Twitter and Facebook.
I think the OP is looking for an facebook widget.
My vote for the Launcher Pro widget.
Colorize widget is pretty good. It's a little more customizable than Launcher Pro, but I prefer LP the best.

Try the launcher pro widget thats what I use and an app called flow just for using facebook. I also like facebook apps widget so its all personal preference. I'd try flow's app in the market I personally like using it more than the facebook app
thanks guys, combination of launcherpro and flow will work for me wonder why flow doesnt have a widget but the LP widgets are really nice!

What is the best weather widget? As stock razr widget sucks
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Free widgets or paid? for me im using HD widgets best customization IMO. also beautiful widgets are not bad as well
I have the Met Office installed - that comes with 2 widgets
Try "one more clock free". You can have this Chrome rings clock/weather widget that looks exactly the same as one from new razrs. except for fliping rings
I use the circle one ripped from the Atrix HD.
I like Fancy Widgets. No conflicts, updates smoothly. Easily customizable appearance.

I would rather prefer yahoo weather widget. it updstes every 30 minutes and is perfect on my smartphone. also includes a notification icon which shows weather and also a notification widget too

Agreed! You can build whole new clock-weather widgets from the default ones. I think it's not a specific weather widget, but kind a cool and quite stable. Recommended!:good:

Hi all as the topic title
how to add the widget in stock lock screen ?
already google for it, must use 3rd party app like widgetlocker
but I prefer stock lock screen, anybody know how to add widget ??
*google now just got update, and I saw what new got widget in lock screen, but no idea how to add it or any other widget at all
anybody can help ? thanks
as you said it yourself there is no option to add widget on lockscreen on stock samsung.
only aosp roms or 3rd party lockscreens.
In settings you can choose widgets to add to the lockscreen, but only some samsung/google widgets are available.

How to add ? Setting > lock screen > ??
If lock screen option > shortcut just the app shortcut, not widget

No idea, since Google now updated yesterday, 4.1 & above can add widget in lock screen
Yet, I also saw somebody add widget in their lock screen like weather and clock
That why I ask about it
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
edit, cant be bothered
What google have updated is the google search app(aka Google now) which now supports widgets.
In android 4.2 you can add widgets to your lock screen as well as the home screen.
You can insert weather at your stock lockscreen if you're running sammy rom via lock scren option, and you can enable dual clock as well but they're not widgets.
If you want to have the ability to add widgets like google now you have to use 3rd party lockscreen or aosp rom as i mentioned before
I would love this!
get Widget Locker or flash the leak
This is going to seem like a weird one, but I can't find the stock widget that's used for clock and weather when I use Nova launcher. Anyone have the file or know where to find it? Thanks.

I have two clock widgets when I look at adding a widget to nova, I don't know if one of mine was added by an app or if they are both default nova. If you can tell me where to pull a file from I'd be happy to help. Otherwise I'm not totally sure what you can do. I am still fairly new to this launcher.
Good luck, let me know what I can do to help.
I had the same problem... Ended up just getting Timely and using their widget

This is an ever-returning problem for all 3rd party Launchers. TouchWiz, Sense and whatever LG is calling their UI all have widgets that are only compatible with their respective launchers. Install all you want, they still wont show up outside of the stock LG Launcher. You can usually find some that look much the same and some times a genious comes along and ports the widgets. You could try heading over to the G2 forums, I suspect there's more life over there, maybe their "Themes and Apps" forum has a ported edition. Who knows.

I did the same thing - use the Timely widget. With Nova I could overlap it with the Yahoo weather widget so that they look like one thing.
My other virtually-the-same-thing clock widget choice is Chronus

I recently tried out "beautiful widgets" which allows clock and weather widgets and I really like it.
Best Weather Widget with NOVA Launcher?
1Weather for me
Weather Network for me.
Have been using HD widgets from a long time.
the stock weather doesnt seem to be working with NOVA launcher. I wanted to keep the stock look.

"at a glance" widget with the Google weather service. This is the best for me.
try Today Weather. It has 16 widgets to suit your taste.
