hey guys,
is there a way to add a weather widget to the lockscreen?
also, what about shortcuts like the cyanogenmod ones?
no one?
In settings, Security -> Enable widgets.

The annoying thing is that the Z2 truncates lock screen widgets, I use Chronus Flex on the lock screen, the first image is the how it looks by default, the second image is how it looks when maximised.

If you're rooted there are xposed modules that default the screen to the expanded view

I absolutely love the ripple effect unlock on the S3 - But I kinda hate the lockscreen itself (bad quality image for the wallpaper, ugly clock, non-customized icons for shortcuts, etc...).
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could either customize the S3 lockscreen and use my own clock widgets and/or icons OR somehow get the ripple effect unlock over to my WidgetLocker screen...?
I'd probably just prefer to use the ripple unlock in WidgetLocker.

Not sure on this, widgetlocker is great, but I find it causes wakelocks which isn't helpful. I just wish there was a way to what shortcuts show on the stock lockscreen, and wish it showed todays calendar appointments. That would make it pretty close to perfect without dealing with widgetlockers battery drain issue.
Fwiw, I notice that widget locker constantly asks for your location in the permissions log... Not widget related as I had nothing on the screen just a slider. Guessing that is what causes the wakelock'ing

You can change what shortcuts on lockscreen. Settings. Security. Lock screen options. Short cuts

Awesome, thanks for that.... Now if we could only get Calendar appointments to display, maybe a dev will work it out. Although probably just use the AOKP / CM lockscreen if that's the case when the time comes.
Install water drops plus from the play store and choose whichever wallpaper you like to put under the water and you can use it with widget locker.. Maybe add a transparent slider for now also... That's the best thing I can think of

Disable automatic drops in settings so it only ripples on touch unless yu like it automatic.. Just play around with it..

Heh i sent the author of WidgetLocker an email the other day talking about this very thing....
I not only like the ripple effect but the slider itself being able to be used from ANYWHERE on the screen is nice.
Usually WidgetLocker is very good about adding features and fixing issues in the past.. the only reason I can see him not being able to do something like this would be due to restrictions with the OS itself.
As for the suggestion on waterdrops.. that's great if you don't already use a LiveWallpaper If you use a Livewallpaper like I do, you cannot have 2 of them running at once (one for the lockscreen and one for the normal phone operation).
So if you are using Sammy rom, you would know that it is not possible to change the icons of the app shortcuts on lock screen. Unless you modify the APK directly to change the icon file. I've been looking for a way to change their icons according to the launcher's theme, etc but haven't been able to.
I know there are the possibility of using different lock screen app/widget but I prefer to use the stock TW lock screen. I'd love to use AOSP lock screen too, but with my DPI mod the AOSP lock screen comes with Simple Framework is simply off the center and cannot change lock screen shortcuts either.
So if anyone out there able to find a way to change these shortcuts, please share!!!
Much appreciated!!
You can change lock screen icons in touch wiz by selecting lock screen options and then shortcuts.

You misunderstood me. What I want is change the lockscreen shortcuts's ICONs, I know how to set which app shortcuts I want on lockscreen...
Hey so I'm using SGS3 I9300, currently running Omega v42.
I'm looking for a Screen Lock app that has a PATTERN lock. So far I downloaded like 15 different apps, some of them doesn't support pattern at all, the others just show stock lockscreen after the app lockscreen, making it kind of stupid.
I'm mostly looking for a lockscreen that has a pattern lock and an option to show widgets. Best will be if there's an option to add different pages to the lockscreen (like CM10 style, where each page is a whole widget and can drag the pattern lock from the button).
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I just upgraded my S2 to 4.2 and like the new android lock screen. But to replace widget locker I would like to have an option to have multiple widgets on one lock screen page.
Does anyone knows an app that simply puts multiple widgets into one widget that can be added to the lock screen?
would like to know also. One widgets are taking the whole screen
Anyway to change or edit not using a third party lock screen app? With root access.

Actually this is pretty simple. With the lockscreen up just slide the clock to the right. A new screen with a big plus sign should appear that you should press. You'll have to use whatever method you normally use to unlock your screen at this point. Add whatever widget you want. Delete the circle clock (just drag it up to the trashcan), and then slide the widget you really want over. QED.
There are some 3rd party apps in the Play Store that will change your lockscreen (Like Go Locker, iOS7 Lockscreen, Widget Locker, Android L LockScreen etc). You generally have to disable your lockscreen by selecting "None" from the Select screen lock setting found in Settings>Lockscreen
I personally don't like these as they have to constantly have to run in the background but they are there
Henri made a great suggestion though, stock Android allows you to customize the lockscreen a lot now by adding widgets and whatnot
