[Q] Expand lock screen widgets

Hi All,
I finally made the jump and bought a Nexus 7 even tho we will most likely see a newer version in May. However it is still freakin awesome! I am running CM 10.1 nightly's but cannot expand the lock screen widgets. Is this possible? I love that new Dashclock widget for the lock screen but it will only show me two of my selected options before it cuts off because I am unable to expand the widget.
I use it on the Note 2 (also running CM10.1) and it works great. Anyone know something that I may have missed?
Thanks in advance
-Chris

I actually forgot how it's done. I remember I did it once on 4.2 but never again could I expand the widgets to maximum size again on 4.2.1 and 4.2.2

Hi there,
Have you tried Apex Launcher?
I dunno for sure, but maybe, and just maybe you can re-size and customize the lock screen widgets.
Hope this helps

I did! That's what I thought but looks like it's built into CM 10.1. but not in the grouper builds i guess.

Swipe down on the widget. From the clock

It doesn't behave the same way my Note 2 build does.Only thing I can do is delete or add widget. no re-sizing (that I can see or get to work) .

It really is strange then. Maybe if you pm your Rom dev for some q & a.

[Q] Multi Window mod for s4?

Couldn't find this anywhere but on the s3 the devs had a mod to use ANY and EVERY app on multi view. Is this mod available for the s4 yet? It's annoying not being able to use certain apps simultaneously other wise great phone

Also, do you think that devs will be able to make any mods or tweaks with the air view/gesture features? Like switch between recent apps with the wave of a hand or something?

Works on s4!

It works exactly as advertised. After enabling other apps, a simple reboot is needed. From then on, whatever app you've added to multi Window will be available to use with any other app in multi Window.

Lockscreen widgets

Anyone else disappointed HTC didn't include these in 4.2.2?

Not really I had them on my s4 and found them more annoying then useful but if you want them that bad flash cm10.1

Yes I am very disappointed. I've been wanting to use dashclock on my lock screen for ages!
I don't get why HTC chose to leave off a headline feature of 4.2.2.

Big time disappointment for me aswell, this is my first android phone, and when testing others phones, the majority had it working...... can not understand why they would'nt include it.

I was on pac but it's just not stable enough yet. I had them on my note 2 as well and I loved my dashclock widget

The only one I ever use is Dashclock. Thanks to the 4.2.2 Sense update and Widget Locker, I can still use it. I'm annoyed by HTC's decision but it wasn't a problem

Disable HTCLockscreen.apk and you will get stock lockscreen with lock screen widgets.
Apparently worked for someone in the ARHD thread but doesn't work for me, stock lockscreen shows but no lock screen widgets.

Only works if you dirty flash from 4.1.1 rom to a 4.2.2 rom. Most people couldn't get the phone to boot though.

Yep this worked for me, but I did dirty flash, I don't confirm if that's the reason it worked though.
The novelty of dash clock had worn off for me though useful as it is.

Not sure if you mean you're disappointed that HTC didn't include stock widgets, but you could try out Widget Locker and put other widgets on the lockscreen.

I'm a bit confused. Once I get the 4.2 update I will be able to use widgets like Dash Clock, right? Changing lock screen is no big issue for me as long as it works.

You won't be able to add widgets to your lockscreen. That's just how HTC did it. Even if you remove their lockscreen. Only way to get widgets will be if you use widgetlocker.

Trickdroid has an option for the AOSP lockscreen and you can use widgets.

The widgets don't work. Only if you dirty flashed over a 4.1.1 Rom. Unless a newer version was released that some how included it, you have to use widgetlocker.

Even more confused now I don't know the difference between regular lock screen widgets and Dash Clock, but as long as I can use Dash Clock I'm happy.

Ahh Ok, yeah I did a dirty flash. But I switched back to the sense lock screen because I noticed if you had a pattern lock and got a call, you would have to unlock with your pattern before answering the call with the AOSP lockscreen

I have personally had problems using Widget Locker both on my S3 and now the One...find it to be laggy and at times not work consistently with notifications.

Can someone please explaine how it works?
Hi!
I've just flashed the new 4.2.2 and when i looked at the promissing lockscreen widget i was and i am confused.
I can see 7digital and a bunch of my Fancywidget widgets and Google, where are ALL my other widgets? Why so few?
I can live with that i can't scroll to the left and right for more pages (seems very strange to me anyway) but hey, i though ALL widgets could be put on my lockscreen...

Wait so the new lockscreen style "Widget" doesn't allow for Dash Clock to be placed on it? That's so bunk =/

Knock On for CM10.2

Going to install CM on my buddy's G2.
Is there any way to get Knock On working on custom ROMs, similar to Slide2wake on Nexus devices.

Knock on should work on any ROM. Knock off does not tho..

Knock On works on the customer roms and Knock Off can be done by the following, use either Apex or Nova as your launcher and set the launcher up that a double tab executes the app from the link below and Knock Off will work from any where on the home screen.

im running cm 10.2 as of now.. my suggestion to you is to download screen off... the icon is a black and grayish power button... if you dont use the swipe up from the home button that much for google now, when downloaded you can replace the default so when swiping up from the home button it turns off your screen! its what im using right now and i like it because it works everywhere, even the lockscreen! , also you can do the same thing routing the same app to a double tap feature on apex/nova launcher if you like the knock itself, but as far as just turning off your device when its flat down, this is my solution hope it helped!

"Knock Off" can also be implemented by using GMD Gesture Control and defining a screen off gesture (e. g. swiping down with 3 or 4 fingers). Has the added advantage that it works everywhere, regardless whether you are in the launcher or in any app. Use that on my Tablet Z very successfully.

I do not think there is a "Knock" sound. It is what happens with the gesture of tapping on the screen twice.

I`am not xperiencing lags myself and i have about 120 apps installed and running TW launcher, but disabeling the lockscreen animation will make the S5 snappier imo.

if you are putting finger print lock or pattern or password it won't appear, but if you choose swipe it will appear down in lockscreen options

download the phone INFO app and check if you have a genuine S5 first.

There is no lag at all if you debloat all of the superfluous Samsung apps.
Or even easier, install a custom ROM like Phoenix or XtreStoLite and turn off the page animations.

The latest firmware update currently being rolled out has already solved this. My device is running smoothly with no problem at all

Rolling the update to all countries / carriers normally takes time. But if you're unlocked, you can download latest UK stock rom & install it. It already includes the latest update
