So I am not sure if this is a General or App specific question.
Is there any way to enable lockscreen widgets in MIUI? It's sad that this a feature baked into Android 4.2+ but MIUI while giving us fantastic features decided to omit a feature baked into android. I have tried some of the third party lockscreen replacements but none of them seem to work too well with MIUI. Would love to have Dash clock/Chronus on my lockscreen.
there are issues that incorporate very handsome screen lock and can apply separately.

What lockscreen is that? And also, can you please attach here your wallpaper?

Lockscreen is "thf`s advanced weather lockscreen"
background screen
Qhile this is a great lock screen and I know MIUI has a ton of customizable lock screens. The one feature I am really missing is the ability to add custom widgets to lockscreen, specifically Chronus/Dash Clock.

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).
Hi there. I have a galaxy s3 since a mounth or two and i have a contact that i call 20 or 25 time per day.
I want to know if there is a HACK or a MOD to integrate a direct call shortcut to the original lockscreen of the S3.
Thanks
I'm not sure about a hack/mod for the stock lock screen - someone else will hopefully clue you in about that.
Failing that though you could replace the stock lock screen with Widgetlocker which will allow you to add custom shortcuts and widgets (such as a direct dial widget for instance) to the lock screen.

I know this is old topic but Samsung did no changes to solve the problem. I wanted to keep original lock screen and be able to launch shortcuts from it, so I wrote an app for it. Application can be mapped with any shortcut, so when you press app icon it works like pressing shortcut icon. Unfortunately there is no possibility to change app icons, so I put launcher icons with different numbers on it.
Application is called Shortcut Launcher. You can download it from Google Play.
And if you don't want to install stuff, you could just add a call contact widget on the homescreen, you would still have to unlock it but it's some steps quicker
You can also use the ROM SlimBean, it has the option to add widgets to the lockscreen
Could someone please tell me the resolution of the lockscreen icons for the 4.1/4.2 lockscreen or better yet provide me with a link to some icons usable for the JB lockscreen.
See I have a pack of plain white vector icons, however when changing one my lockscreen shortcuts to a custom app, there are no default icons suitable so I use the vector icon but it's about 5 times bigger than the other icons!
As it's the lockscreen I'm not having the easiest time getting a screen shot to demonstrate what I mean but I'm sure you can envision what I'm talking about.

I'm having the same issue as you with my messaging icon on the lock screen being twice as big than the stock jelly bean icons and would love to have it uniformed with the others.

Im sure the icon size would be device dependent as the DPI of the screens isn't the same on all devices. Do you know the DPI of the device you are using?
Hi,
I really love the look of the TouchWiz Widgets-
I found several touchwiz exclusives...
- Weather
- Calendar
- Location
- Magnifier
And I really love my Action Launcher 3. But I cannot have those widgets on Action Launcher...
Of course, I can install the 3rd party apps. But Weather widget will not be coherent with the weather in my lock screen and edge screen.
I am not going to get the Magnifier widget.
I googled a lot but I couldn't find the solution. Anyone knows how I can bring the widgets to the 3rd part launchers?

Unfortunately this is generally not possible, as the widget hooks into the launcher itself and probably does not present itself as available to other launchers the way a normal widget does. I wish it were possible but I'm afraid it's not.

I see. I decided to use Action launcher with 3rd party apps...
By the way, I am from GS3 and I really love the TouchWiz Calendar. It has weather icons inside.
Has anyone else been experiencing issues with the Samsung themes not applying to their lock screen?
I apply the theme of choice (tried several) through the Samsung themes settings/app. The theme changes on the pull down menu, messages app, etc. but does not change the lock screen clock or music player controls. Some online research says others are experiencing the same thing. Has anyone here been having this issue and/or found a solution?
Thank you for your time!

Not having that issue here, do you have AOD turned on and a theme that theme's AOD.

AOD is on, but with a custom image (my signature).
Full setup is:
Nova launcher with icon pack
Custom wallpaper on home and lock screen
AOD on with custom image
Theme applied (should be changing clock and look of clock on lock screen but is not)
Thanks again!

I'll bet it's because of Nova Launcher and not using TW, just a thought..

If you apply a custom wallpaper to both home and lock screen it erases the theme home and lock screen images. I am using Nova and have no issues. Sometimes I just use a custom home and leave the stock lock screen from the Samsung theme.
The clock on the lock screen changes but my Pandora music player remains the same.
I had that issue with the batman theme. the AOD theme option would be there after i applied the theme but if i changed the AOD to a different design, the option for the one that comes with theme would disappear. only fix would be to re apply theme
This works for me as well, but oddly enough, when setting a live wallpaper (just for home screen), the clock goes back to stock.
So frustrating.
