They are not available. The only lock screen widget available is the music widget.

That is indeed very strange.
Lockscreen widgets were introduced in Jelly Bean 4.2 and should have been in Android 4.4.2 provided by Samsung.

Well, until a CynaogenMod ROM becomes available lock screen widgets are not available. There might be replacement lock screens in the play store but I cannot confirm,

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.

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 =/
Hey guys!
I'm on CM 10.2 at the moment and was considering comparing the latest TW firmware. My biggest issue with TW in the past has been the inability to have multiple lockscreen widgets (and primarily a camera shortcut) while using a pattern lock.
Just wanted to know if that had changed with the release of 4.3 or if it's still the same?
Did a quick search but couldn't find anything conclusive.
If you're device is rooted! The just instal exposed framework! And download the module! Here it is works perfect!

Cheers mate.
I take it it's not officially supported in this update either then?
No it's not officially supported. I am not rooted but have got the functionality through the excellent widgetlocker.

Even with widget locker you can't access the camera without having to unlock the pattern lock though can you? Won't it just pop up the lock after selecting the camera shortcut in WL?

You can access the camera without unlocking. Just swipe right.

as far as i know its all the same, i use widgetlocker but in the short while i used stock it seemed the same as in 4.2

Thanks guys!
When I first tried it I made a shortcut to the camera app. That doesn't work, you have to either swipe to the side or use the built in widget locker functions for a camera shortcut.
Jellybean allowed you to change either lockscreen or home wallpaper. Now kitkat changes both at once it doesn't ask which one you wanna change, or am I completely missing it? I Googled it and can't seem to figure this out -.- this is on Beanstalk on my s4, girlfriends Verizon s3, and friends att s3. so I know it's not just me lol.

Its not intuitive at all. I installed a theme and then couldn't get rid of the lockscreen wallpaper. A theme can override your normal wallpaper by setting a lock screen wallpaper. To fix this you need to go to settings -> themes -> lock screen wallpaper -> clear
Took me awhile to figure this out. Hope it helps someone else.

Looking something similar to S note, that you can actually insert information on the lock screen not just having read only info.
Thank you anyway
