Is it possible to add widgets or change things on the lock screen?

Yep as always very customisable being android but just now its limited by the number of apps and devs incorporating this new feature into their apps but it will get better as always with bigger name and Google apps making use of the additional flexibility

Yes. If you slide to the left or right, you will see a blank lock screen with a [+] icon. Tapping that will allow you to add widgets.
Thanks guys

Not on stock 4.2 yet. I believe you can with Widget Locker though.

How can i have more then 5 screens for Applications ?
I'm gunna guess you mean home screens, and assume you haven't done a search. Press menu, then edit and you can add screens.

No, i don't mean home screens, i know how to make more home screens.
I am talking about Applications Screens.
Thanks anyway.
You just install some more apps. The application screens extend as necessary.

Oh, i see ! Thank you !!!
You can also hit Menu when you are in the application drawer, and an Edit option will be available.
From there you can drag/drop/uninstall apps. Every time you go to the Edit mode, there will always be an extra blank screen where you can move your apps, so moving apps there would increase the number of screens. You can drag apps to the next/previous screen by moving them to the edges until they turn bluish.
That way you can have additional screens without having to feel each screen up.
There's a catch: if you leave any blank spaces on the application screens then sometimes icons from other screens will jump across to fill the gaps. I'm not sure exactly when that happens but I think it might be when you switch between portrait and landscape.
I spent some time sorting all the games onto one page and they then partly unsorted themselves again as the gaps filled up.

How do you remove the digital clock on the lockscreen? It keeps returning after I delete it. Also, can you add other widgets besides the four shown?
I was able to use uccw on the lock screen
Try to replace it with another widget. Then go back later and delete that one.

Tried that. The clock came back.
Is there at least a way to make it look decent, without the stupid bold hour digit? I wouldn't mind having the clock on the lock screen if it didn't look so bad.

Download Fixed Clock from the Market/Play Store and use that widget in place of the stock one.

HD Widgets is very nice option as well. It gives you many configuration options for the lockscreen

Can you add more without installing other apps?

good question, anyone?
Using CM nightly (18th).
I have a pattern lock and removed the side widgets with Lockscreen Policy. Last thing to go would be the circular dots at the bottom that are part of the Google Now swipe.
On a separate note, is there a reason you can pull down the clock to expose a blank area underneath?
Sorry for poorly notated screenshot:

The space is for when you have multiple clocks for different time zones.
if u fill ur lock screen with widgets, u press that to bring up the unlock settings.
You could use an app like widgetlocker or go locker. They'd probably have the option to hide the google now circle.
I miss the simple ICS/ 4.1.2 lockscreen

I don't suppose anyone who has these apps can confirm this? I guess I'll try Go Locker, but the other one is a paid app...

WidgetLocker does one of two things. It either leaves the Home, Back, and Recents buttons there, or, if you enable root helper, it will replace those with the GNow Circle. No option for a black bar.

You could always make the Google now circle blend into the lock screen if you're using paranoidandroid like so.

In hybrid settings, set the launcher's nav bar color and transparency to match the lock screen color n transparency. It takes some tweaking to get the right color but you'll find it soon enough.
I'm using #55000000 but you may need to tweak it a bit depending on your wallpaper
Or you could take a screenshot of your lock screen, find the color code for it using the color picker in Photoshop and then enter that value in the launchers nav bar color picker.

Not sure I'm seeing what you're seeing. The dotted circle is still in your screenshot.
Yea but its not within a black bar. The wallpaper extends to the bottom. And its just one possible way to mask it and make it look nice since I'm not too interested in getting rid of it completely anyway.

Ya... I too want to remove that upward pointed triangle from the lock screen as it is giving me issues.. It is even present behind my Home button and disables its functionality even after unlocking the screen.
Somebody help please
How do I do it? All I can figure out is to add one per screen and swipe left or right to view the others. Any way to get multiple widgets on one screen?
