Lockscreen widgets - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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).

With default stuff, you can't.
So then which launcher should i use in order to modify only the lockscreen?
Is this possible? Am used to default launcher, i dont mind some change to fix my lockscreen but i'd like to keep the rest of my phone/home/buttons as default as possible.
Thanks again for your help

In cm10.1, for example , you can change the lockscreen options, and get rid of the clock widget.

Sure you can. If you actually mean luck screen and not status bar. Expand to full size, long press that "frame" and drag it to the trash.

Assistive Light Widget Mod Help

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.

Clock displayed in notification bar on lockscreen

Was messing around with nova launcher today and changed the setting of whether the clock should be shown and where. I selected hide didn't like it and changed it back to stock. But is this correct in the lock screen? Clock hides in the notification bar.

It should not hide.
Its hides for me. Running PA 3.68 and Apex launcher.
I think it is supposed to hide as the time is shown in the lockscreen clock widget, and having the time show up in 2 places is redundant.

[Q] How do I add a widget on the main lock screen

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.

Multiple widgets on lockscreen.

Hi, is there any way to have more than one widget on first screen of lockscreen? For example I want to have one more under the clock, is it possible?
There's an app called WidgetLocker that replaces your lockscreen and you can add widgets.
