Lock screen widget

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!

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.

Question on lock screen

Buddy of mine got the S4, when he swipes down on the lock screen the widgets come down, the little pad lock and circle to actually unlock the phone never move, often it takes multiple attempts to finally unlock the phone. When I had my S4 I remember the lock and circle moving around? Is there some setting he had active or deactivated that is causing that?

Circle that moves is swipe unlock. unlock style set to None.

His is set to swipe.

I've noticed this too. If you grab the bottom of the widget box around the clock you can resize it. If you drag it all the way up, as tight around the clock as possible, then the unlock screen works as you would expect, but when you have expanded the widget box, you get this issue with the lock you are describing. I hope this helps.
Ps if you swipe on the clock from left or right you will see the border of the widget. It's kinda hard to grab and resize. If you expand it all the way down it shows a button to edit the widget.

[Q] How to add shortcut to lock screen?

Hello,
I am looking to findout how to add camera and some other application's shortcut into the lockscreen. I selected slide screen lock but cannot find how to add a shortcut to the lock, for example if I slide it on the circle to 11 o'clock I want the camera app to be opened.
Any tip on how to enable it?
Thanks.

You need a ROM like xylon or slimbean to do those lock screen thingies. Besides when you're on the lock screen you swipe your finger from all the way from the right to the left and the camera app will open up.

[Q] Access Camera from lockscreen without having to unlock

Not sure if this was addressed already but is there ANY way, even if the device needs to be rooted, for the camera or apps to be accessible through lockscreen without having to unlock similar to IOS?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

You can download this right here and have the iOS 7 lock screen which you can set up the camera up to it. Also if you don't put a pass code on your phone you can have widgets on it and you can pull your camera up from there as well.

Can't you just setup a PIN in your phone then enable the Camera to appear as a Lock Screen Widget from your lockscreen?

if you setup a PIN to unlock you phone you can't have a lockscreen widget besides the clock, but if you set just swipe to unlock, you can add more widgets to your lockscreen ( if you enable multiple lockscreen widgets on settings->lockscreen). Just swipe down when you're on lockscreen and then swipe from left to right to add more widgets

But will this give me access to the camera without first unlocking my phone?
This seems to be a big problem with the S4

I use widget locker. It will give you what you're looking for and worth every penny.
