Would be good if it could be removed as you could get another row of icons in there or a 4x1 widget.

No idea sorry, although I have definitely seen modified launchers on custom touchwiz ROMs somewhere.
Take a look at the thread below. Failing that have a good search of the apps&themes section here.

[Q] Lockscreen Widgets

How do you remove the digital clock on the lockscreen? It keeps returning after I delete it. Also, can you add other widgets besides the four shown?
I was able to use uccw on the lock screen
Try to replace it with another widget. Then go back later and delete that one.

Tried that. The clock came back.
Is there at least a way to make it look decent, without the stupid bold hour digit? I wouldn't mind having the clock on the lock screen if it didn't look so bad.

Download Fixed Clock from the Market/Play Store and use that widget in place of the stock one.

HD Widgets is very nice option as well. It gives you many configuration options for the lockscreen

Can you add more without installing other apps?

good question, anyone?

Add multiple widgets to lock screen?

How do I do it? All I can figure out is to add one per screen and swipe left or right to view the others. Any way to get multiple widgets on one screen?

[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.

Have you tried clearing the cache?
But i don't think this is a problem. I think it's a new 4.4.2 feature that cannot be disabled. Maybe I didn't describe my problem right. When someone calls me and I don't pick up you can see the missed call in a big notification rectangle in the lock screen. This means that someone can just take your phone and see who called you even if you don't want to. I try to find any setting to disable this but it looks like it's a widget in the lock screen.

If you can't disable it in the settings and the developer didn't include an option for that there is no way to hide it.

I guess you are right but this is crazy not being able to hide this. We should have control over our privacy.

That is one of many reasons why I am not using TouchWiz.
You think if I use another launcher it will not do that?
Edit : just tried another launcher and it still does the same thing.

I think what you have on your lockscreen is a lockcreen widget. Have you tried disabling Lockscreen widgets?
Maybe if it is a standalone widget it can be removed from the screen. Try and report back.

I have the widgets disabled. It's something to do with the system.

No I haven't. I don't think the third party lockscreens are as safe as the original ones.
