How can I add widgets to the lock screen ???

Assuming you are using stock lock screen:
On the lock screen swipe all the way to the left, and you should finish on a screen with a big plus sign on it. Click the plus sign and select the widget to add (unfortunately not all support lock screen widgets yet but still a fair selection). To rearrange long press the widget and move it to suit. To delete, long press the widget, and drag to the trash can.
Also, try Dashclock from the play store, perhaps the only lock screen widget you need!

Apps that use the lock screen (ex poweramp) don't work with the finger unlock screen, ie, you have to use either a double lock screen (slide w/ widgets + fingerprint), which is a pita in my opinion. Can't we get widgets to work directly from the fingerprint unlock screen?

Might be more appropriate to ask this in in one of the CM7 threads.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There wouldn't really be room to fit it. You only have so much space.
I don't think we really need that much... the logo can go, only t the swipe a too short text needs to remain, maybe a clock

You can't use some lock screen widgets if you have a security lock screen thanks to Samsung being weird and annoying. Plus they removed the quick launch camera lock screen with their silly app matrix.
If you just use the slide to unlock feature then slide your finger from the top down and then left or right and you'll have the option of adding more.
You first have to enable them in the settings. Also you can enable quick camera instead of using the app matrix, you'll find that in the same place.... Main settings---> lockscreen ---> check the multiple widgets box. Tap the next box down to configure the quick launch camera as default instead of the app matrix should you choose.
im gettingvreally annoyed with unlovking d phone and the clock expands. Is there a way to remove the expand option?

Bumping this one ... Anyone knows how to get a clean unlock screen like S3 for example ?
Are we all on the same page here.... sometimes the lock screen will go haywire and show some mini applications, or boxes that have edit options? Like adding stuff to the lock screen when you didn't ask for it... ? Anyway to turn it off.... Might have to buy a custom locker
I dont have any widgets/apps on the lockscreen, but its kind of annoying when the clock expands and makes it hard to unlock the phone....
I guess we got too used to the "slide from anywhere to unlock" feature. Just slide at the very bottom and youre golden every time

If you slide downward from the clock widget or any other screen widget, this feature allows you to edit the current widget, add a new one, or replace.
The lock screen music widget is unresponsive and annoying. Is there a way to completely remove it?
Go to lock screen, hold the widget and drag it to the trash bin icon.

Using the latest Paranoid Android ROM and already downloaded the Chronus App. I AM able to add a widget in the LEFT lock screen but I could not figure out how to move this widget into the MAIN one, which has the time and date already built-in. Thanks for the help!
You need to swipe down on the time/date widget in order to maximize it, then tap and hold on the widget itself, a remove icon will appear.
Thank you. Got it now.
