Ok, so I love having the assistive light widget. Its the only flashlight app/widget I've seen with the ability to launch it and simultaneously view other apps or lock the screen and have it continue to operate. However. The widget is larger than it need be and is above all ugly as sin.
My idea is to use something like Desktop Visualizer to create a 1x1 transparent widget to place in a second dock in Apex Launcher or somewhere on the home screen.
My problem is I cannot find the corresponding app or action to link the custom widget to the Assistive Light widget.
Does anyone know what it is, where to look, or can find it? Because I have been at it for two days and continue to fail lol.
Thanks for the time and help.

Might I suggest TeslaLED from the Play store? It comes in very handy and has a 1x1 widget that isn't an eye sore. It also stays on whether you turn off the screen or start using other apps.

Anybody know of an app besides executive assistant that puts info on your lock screen. Like mail, calender appointments and so on.

i use WidgetLocker. it works great and basically lets you put any widget, or application shortcut on the lock screen as well as custom sliders.

I haven't had anything I wanted to put the lock screen widget locker couldn't handle. Custom sliders is icing on the cake

+1 widget locker. Dev is quick to fix problems that arise. Like fingerprint issue was fixed in a couple days after bug was found

First things first, I'm not sure if this is a device issue, an app issue or an o/s issue, but has anyone else come across widgets that take up more room than their intended size?
For example, Cal Widget should be 4x2 (and is that on my sgs2), but actually requires 4x3 space (hopefully the screenshot has been attached). Likewise, the various foursquare widgets seem to be the same. I've also seen a few 4x1 widgets that take up 4x2 space with the actual graphics centred in between the grid lines. In all instances, the resize option doesn't seem to be available.
Has anyone else noticed this, and is there a setting somewhere that I've inadvertently selected to cause this?
(It shouldn't be an issue, other than my OCD about symmetrical homescreen layouts kicking in!)

Try with Nova / Apex and see what happens..
in nova there is a widget overlap option for scenarios like this. then you can long press the widget and if it is overlapping another widget or app.... you will have bring to front and send to back options
Thanks, tried Apex and it at least allowed me to resize the widgets. :thumbup:
I'll keep playing around to see if there's a non-launcher solution though.

So in the lockscreen before you draw the pattern or password, I have a digital clock. If you slide the screen to right or left you can add a widget of your choice but it only gives you a choice of like 5 widgets that are Google related. I couldn't find a way to add my own. Is there such a way? Thank you.

By default apps have to declare lockscreen widget to show up in lockscreen widget picker. If you want all widgets then you will need a custom ROM (or some Xposed module, I believe).
I am attempting to make my lock screen appear like the image posted below. This screenshot is actually of the home screen, not the lock screen.
The only lock-screen app I could find that allows widget overlap is "WidgetLocker". If there are others I could play around with, please let me know.
My current strategy is to add both "Dash Clock" and "Circle Battery Widget" to the WidgetLocker (WL) lock screen and attempting to align them via overlap. Unfortunately, it looks like WL only allows overlap via resizing - not by placing one widget on top of another. I think it is still possible, with enough tinkering, but it won't be easy.
One thing that might make this easier would be if I could see the grid when moving widgets on the lock screen. The settings for this app are pretty extensive and I can't find the option if it's there.
Any suggestions that might help me reproduce this lock screen are welcome. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I guess I don't have the privileges to add an image yet. If you're curious, head to bitly slash 19muwsg
You can't make two threads about the same thing.

They look similar but are two different questions. Sorry about that, should've been more careful with my wording. :angel:
I realised that if I disable the stock music app, it's widget is automatically disabled and I lose the quick window widget too. That would be fine, only double tap to off no longer works on the clock widget, only the weather one.
Now if I disable the clock widget too, the weather widget's double tap to off disappears as well.
Anyone else has that prob too?
Enabling the music widget ONLY(in settings doing this also enables the music app) using TiBu solves the problem but leaves a useless and ugly music widget behind :/

Oh i've also thought of a few solutions
1. Use exposed to change the lock screen widget to simply pause/play and next and previous buttons that work with all apps
2. Modify the apk to do the same thing
3. Find the source of the bug?

I never noticed it before but I can confirm my VS980 on CleanROM behaves as you describe. I never use the knock on feature...
