having trouble with the lock screen and security. I can put widget and apps on the lock screen no problem. But when I add a password or pin or other type of security I no longer have access to the widgets and apps on the lock screen. is the a short coming in Android 4.2 or am I missing something?
It is working as designed. Password or pin means security and widgets bypass this. Pick a less secure option or give up widgets.

Ok so this worked perfectly in stock android. Is it at all possible that maybe a tw rom has this built in?

Not natively, but the solution I set up for my wife's phone works pretty well. Try using Widgetlocker for your lockscreen, and setting your TW lockscreen security to pattern or pin. Unfortunately you won't have the pretty lens flare effect, but it does work pretty well.

Surprising!! I thought the point to widgets on the lock screen was that you could easily and quickly perform or see something without having to UNLOCK your phone. Just don't understand!
in my S2 i had a number password and widgets.
when i chose a widget to open it would first ask for a password and then open the app.
don't get why this isn't the case in my S4 (SGH-I337M).

If you want to change the lockscreen use widget locker lockscreen. It has the original 2.1 lockscreen plus you can use Widgets.

"Sweep" screen is gone forever.

Try NoLock.
NoLock removes the lock screen totally. So when you press the power button on the Vibrant... you're on your home screen, or whatever you were doing before you turned the screen off.

Use WidgetLocker. If you use it with Beautiful Widgets it makes the most awesome lockscreen ever.

Elaborate, please.
I went with GOTO, and it works great! No more stock swipe to unlock anymore. Yay!
I do it with Tasker. Keyguard disable. That way I can still have my keys locked if the phone gets turned on for some reason while I'm out & about.
I've had more fun with that app that I have the Sims3. You get a free week if you download from the site rather than Market.
On the flip side,i would like to know how to make everything that uses notifications have puzzle pieces.

Doesn't exist on mine either. PathogenX, do you have a rooted ROM? I have "NoLock", but this would reduce one additional app installed.
This is how customizable widget locker is

its too laggy to use, and the samsung lockscreen pops up then the custom lock screen pops up after so i dont like it.
Widget locker is the best alternate lockscreen plus you can put Widgets on it and is very customizable.

hello, just wondering if anyone knows how to keep the swip light effect lock but still have a pattern lock after you swipe? if I activate pattern lock, it removes the swipe unlock and just goes straight to the pattern when you wake up your device. I want to be able to keep swipe unlock cus I like the light effect but then after you unlock, go into a pattern password or a numerical password.
Anyone know any app that can maybe do this?? thanks!
That option was available on my note 2 not sure why the option has gone.

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.

There's an xposed module (Samsung Multiple Widgets) to allow for widgets with a secure lock screen. I use a pattern lock and it works. Should be the same for pins.

I tried it with a pin lock and it still works.
You need to be rooted and you install the Xposed framework + the Samsung multiple widget module.
There are many guides on how to root your device, but chances are that if you're work wants your device to be secure, they won't allow you to root...
Hope that helps.

When you have pin on lockscreen all widgets on lockscreen are disabled,alternative would be getting widget locket (it's a paid app),add widgets you want and when you unlock your phone via widget locker you can still have your stock lockscreen show up with pin.So you got widgets plus secure phone,that's the only solution for now
