Google Search update - no Google Now lock screen - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey
I installed the update to Google Search which includes a widget and lock screen for Google Now. The widget loads fine, although its tiny and only shows one card. But i cannot see the lock screen in the settings. Anyone else?

the lockscreen widget is only for 4.2 devices so if you have a older version it will not work.
And the widget expands and shrinks depending on current cards being used

When i go onto the GN app i have 2 cards visible, weather and a stock/share price. But on the widget only the stock price is shown.

why I can't used google now on my galaxy s i9000 with C-ROM mix v6 ?

[Q] Horizontal Lock Screen?

Is there an apk out there that replaces the standard lock screen (which is portrait only)?
I'm running CM7 Nightly 102 and can't get the lock screen to be horizontal since I find myself holding the Nook in that orientation most of the time.
WidgetLocker.
My understanding, due to theme chooser, widgetlocker doesn't end up saving widgets on the screen. They end up being erased after reboots.
if thats the case, you can try ripple lock

Man I wouldn't have laughed nearly as much if my r didn't look like an n sometimes
Ripple Lock doesn't do what I need it to do. I don't just want to unlock but I want the pass code/gesture to be horizontal too. Thanks for the suggestions though.

I've just had a look at this and have got it on mine with Epinter's rom.
Download and follow the instructions on the page https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roman.dashclock
When you have swiped across and you can see the Dashclock window, press and move it to the right and it will move stock lockscreen over and your Dashclock widget will become your primary (all you are doing in effect is merely replacing one 'lock' screen with another (rather like the home screens)
Hope that helps.

It's not so much as not knowing how to use it on my phone as the playstore rejecting the rom as incompatible to the widget app...

Check the screen resolution settings in your build.prop
EDIT: This problem occurred in the previous release by epinter. He fixed it with the latest release. You may consider updating.

I already updated to the latest rom, for some reason it just took playstore a while to recognize it as 4.2. But consider this case solved. Thanks.

When you click the widget, it takes you to a google search page and keyboard comes up. This widget does not accept typing from home screen

You can't type directly in that widget. Maybe your friend has a different widget. The keyboard showing up automatically wouldn't do anything because the widget doesn't accept text.
Also, what I posted is the same as iphone. iphone doesn't have widgets

Accessing Playlist on Lock Screen

I just got my Mate 10 pro 2 Days back and I upgraded from Samsung Note 4.
1 Feature of Note was that the Playlist was available even when phone was locked. I fail to find similar Option in Mate 10 Pro with default Music App.
Am I Missing something or it isn't available ?
Please Guide with alternatives and I wouldn't want to root my phone.
And If root is necessary Please guide as well. I am not a tech Retard so I wont take much time. Just first Huawei phone.

There is a Magazine Unlock Option in Settings.
That has further three options:
1. Subscriptions
2. Auto Update over Wifi (Enabled)
3. Auto Delete Images older than 3.
In themes I dont see anything Magazine related.

The Player is there, I can change songs. But I am changing songs 1 song at a time.
In Note 4, I had the option of going through the entire playlist that was running.

You have just to erase pictures from magazine unlock in Settings security lockscreen magazine unlock souscription ?
Talk about bumping threads, i simply came across this and can't help but wonder, what planet is my mate 10 pro since i lack those options, although i have magazine, just for the wallpapers, id say
The music that is running .. can be changed 1 by 1 >.>
On my Note 4, I could access the play-list while phone was locked.

Discussion for BoredSigns — Custom SignBoard Widgets

Ever wish that LG had given the V10/V20 more widgets in the second screen? Well, wish no more! BoredSigns adds many more widgets to your SignBoard (get it? SignBoard --> BoredSigns?), ones you may need and ones you may not.
The best part about BoredSigns? It doesn't need root! That's right; you can get some brand new widgets on your completely Stock V10 or V20. In the future, ADB may be necessary for certain widgets, but right now, you don't need your computer at all.
Current widgets:
— Information
— Weather
— Image
— Navigation Bar
This app is open source! If you aren't willing to pay $0.99 to buy it, feel free to build it for yourself. I only ask that it not be re-distributed without substantial modifications (i.e. more than changing the theme and name).
GitHub: https://github.com/zacharee/BoredSigns
Google+: https://plus.google.com/communities/105544332208886942595
Feel free to open an issue on GitHub to suggest a new widget!
Package name is com.zacharee1.boredsigns
I already have it and its working flawlesly ?

I have to see if Yahoo will let me ask for future times with the API. If it does, I can make another widget.

I bought it in the play store (I want to support any development for the 2nd screen).
I have to thank you just for the simple fact that at first, I didn't know how to run it... so I went into the 2nd screen options. I had no idea that I had other widgets that I could run. I never thought to tap the "..." on "Show when main screen on" so I have been stuck with the basic options this whole time. Worth my $1.05 right there.
So, after using it for a few minutes, I noticed the persistent notification for BoredSigns, so I long-pressed it and turned off all notifications. Will this negatively affect the operation of the app? I did notice that when I swiped my notification shade down, or when switching between widgets, the 2nd screen options would come on, so I restarted the phone. It doesn't seem to be doing that anymore, but I did have to toggle weather on and off a few times to get a real location and not 100*F in Philadelphia.
Bonus question... where can I find out more about the "yet unreleased AOSP implementation of the 2nd screen?"
Found the perfect image for the second screen a mod one of the best football team in the world...perfect fit and color !
Happy user here....thank you again for this :highfive:
So someone suggested I do a navigation bar widget. After lots of Java reflection (the actual tool, not thinking about my life with Java), I went with a simple Accessibility Service.
Because of that, these functions will be available:
- Back
- Home
- Recents
- Split Screen
- Power
- QS Pulldown
- Notification Pulldown
If there are any other (simple) buttons you might want, suggest them. I'll add them in if I can.
Here's what it looks like right now:
