I've seen people talk about some ROMs that allow you to place any widget on the lock screen. I've google searched, searched here, and not finding a way to do it. Is it built into CM 10.1 somewhere or is there something additional I can flash?

WidgetLocker Lockscreen is what you're looking for. Search for it in Google Play.
I've used widgetlocker for years. What I'm referring to is a hack for android 4.2 that allows all widgets on the lock screen. Paranoid Android has it built-in.
The location of the setting will depend on the Rom, I'm not sure if CM has it. For the Xylon Rom, for example, its under: settings->xy settings->lockscreen->allow all widgets
I don't think CM has it built-in, does anyone know of a flashable zip to add this?

This is not for using just lockscreen widgets, it's for using any widget as a lockscreen widget. Only certain apps have specific widgets installed to work with the lockscren, you can't add any widget you want.
I'm still looking for a mod to flash under CM 10.2 nightly. Anybody has found anything?

CyanogenMod already have that ability, you just have to enable it, I believe it's under Settings -> Lockscreen or something like that.

Nope it doesn't and there's a feature request for it under their tracker but no progress on it at all. Only Paranoid has an option to put any widget at the lockscreen. I wouldn't have posted the comment without checking. If you have found the settings somewhere that for some reason I didn't see, please do let me know after trying them yourself.
As a noob here and this is my first post... I tried searching for the S3 Alarm widget, downloaded the S3 APK pack that was posted on here, but I cannot find the S3 Alarm 2x1 widget that I can use to install on my S4. I don't know why I am partial to that S3 Alarm widget, but I loved it. It appears to be a stock app because I did a factory reset on my S3 and the Alarm widget is there.
Does anyone know of a way to get that as an APK and install it on the S4?
Sorry if this is indeed a repost in case I didn't go through enough of the search results to find it. Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.
yeah i got you man
ill email the apk to you, I'm on my s3 right now so it'll be easy
email me and ill reply with it attached
EMAIL REMOVED sheese.. i said this back when the s4 first came out and i still had my s3.. im not still on my s3 ppl, stop emailing me

If the install doesn't work, try to put it into /system/app on your phone and reboot.
See if that works better.

Thanks in advance, that will be awesome. I finally got the 4x1 Alarm widget to show up in my apps/widgets list. Apparently you have to create an alarm before the widget will appear on the S4. Also, the 4x1 is not resizable like other widgets on Android 4.2.x
I sent you an email earlier... so thanks again for the offer and being so quick to respond.
Apologies for reviving this one but the s4 alarm widget is sh1te.
I've downloaded the apk and copied it to the phone however when I try to install, I accept the permissions bit and it tries to install. After a couple of seconds just says app not installed.
I have my s3 in front of me and am wondering if there is another way to extract the system files without using the apk.
I couldn't see the system/app folder on my s4 so couldn't put it there.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
George
solution s3 alarm widget for s4
I was also looking for alarm widget like on s3 since it was small and lightweight and 2x1.
This is what i have done:
- i had a rom from s3 on 4.3 and took clock package from it since alarm widget from s3 belongs to that package,
- i have moved clock package (and odex file to) from s4/system/app to another folder in case if i wanted to use it later,
- i moved clock package taken from s3 rom into s4/system/app and gave proper permissions (rw-r-r),
- i restarted my phone and there in the widgets was s3 alarm widget 2x1

Hey all
Recently bought the S4. Previously had the Note II, needed something smaller.
I had my Note 2 rooted so had no problem opening the "Samsung Apps" as id change my location.
Due to having this new phone and for some reason Samsung not permitting my country to access Samsung Apps i need help... How can i open samsung apps and get content and stuff from there??
I tried download VPN One Click but it wasn't working.. maybe it's because it only worked for the S3?
If anybody knows a way WITHOUT rooting let me know!!
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
anyone !?
Well you can try this too

Well there's plenty of apps available in the play store, and most of them come with widgets. Try a few of them, you'll probably like them!

Already had a look , and I am not a fan of them . Not interested in third party apps , I want the stock S4 weather widget back that is why I posted this thread to figure out what has happened to it and get it back .

This happened to me, the weather widget disappeared, i was using new zealands metservice one and was stumpped for days....
So, have you recently moved it to sdcard in the application manager recently as that was what i did and it disappeared, when i moved it back device storage and then the widget was back.
THANK YOU ! you have led me in the right direction , turns out I have disabled the widget in the applications section and have completely forgot about it . Also the weather widget only works with the TouchWiz not the Nova Launcher .

I'll second the Google Now one, at least dim/opaque for a 50%, that would be great.
