Use status bar on lock screen? - Galaxy S II General

Is there any way to modify android so that the status bar is able to be pulled down when it is locked?

If you geg a 3rd party lock, screen like widget locker, it still shows the,status bar, so it can be scrolled down with out unlocking.
And it lets you customise your lockscreen with widgets etc.

+1 for Widgetlocker, what you're asking for is one of the reasons I like it so much!

I actually prefer to use the stock lock screen. So I'm just wondering if it's possible with that

I can only get the watch on widget to work on the lock screen, not on thr the home screen. Can someone confirm they are having the same issue?

Using nova I have no option for the watchon widget. I got the notification drawer widget to appear but it disappeared after reboot.

Same here. That's really weird that they wouldn't have it as a home screen widget.

There's gotta be a bug then.. Makes no sense.

Surprised this isn't being discussed more. Also no homescreen widget in the GS4, only lock screen and notification panel

Incoming texts

Is it just me or is it a pain to get your text from the lock screen? What's the trick to it. I'm not to fond of the new way. I liked seeing it in the status bar but not the message on the lock screen & unfortunately you can't change that.

A pain? You click the message then swipe inside the white box that appears. Takes you straight to the message.

Ya, but it also shows it in the lock screen, there's no way to do one or the other.

Personally, I dont like Samsungs whole version of the multiple lock screen widgets and notifications on lock screen. Very clumsy

Rearrange Touchwiz homescreen icons

HI,
Is there any way to rearrange the Touchwiz home screen icons? I'm left-handed and have small fingers, so the fact that the "show all apps" icon is all the way to the right is sort of a nuisance to me as I can't reach it with one hand without much effort. I'd like to to move the "show all apps" icon either to the center or left side. Surprisingly every other icon besides the "show all apps" icon can be rearranged.
Thanks
Any update on this?

If someone is willing to modify the launcher then I think it'll be possible but for now you should either download another launcher or place all your apps on the home screen.

I'd suggest download a launcher also

Lockscreen SMS question. .

Is there any way to get a preview of a new text message on the lockscreen like HTC and Samsung devices? I've looked everywhere for the option but I can't find it. The only way is to pull down the notification shade or swipe up from the messages icon.

Try NiLS on the play store, works for all apps like iOS. I use it all the time.

I was just wondering if there was a native way to do out from LG built in.
