HI Team,
Post Lollipop update on Indian N900, widgets (shortcut) icons are gone from the lock screen.
I tried doing deep diving in the setting but couldn't find one. Is there any way we can get the widgets on the lock screen.
If not all the widgets, even Phone / Whatsapp (any one widget) will do. Your help on this is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Naresh.
Ha ha, no, no way you can enable widgets on lockscreen, one of the very goodness of LP, wait till you find more.
Maybe third party lockscreen apps will support them, no idea.

Hey all, I have a few Touchwiz questions that I'm hoping someone can help me answer:
I'm using apex launcher, and I'm trying to match my apex wallpaper to the lockscreen wallpaper. But when I go to the lockscreen wallpaper in settings, it only allows me to choose a few OEM wallpapers. How can I get the apex wallpaper onto the lock screen?
This is a minor annoyance, but is there a way I can theme the top of my phone where it tells me the time/cell signal to look like stock ICS? The touchwiz icons are really big and don't look that great, while taking up a lot of space.
In the very least, is there a way for me to leave nfc, but not have the icon show up?
Thanks! I'm trying to give tochwiz a chance, but I'm really missing stock!
Hello fellow G2-Users,
One thing that bothers me with this great phone is the lack to customize the stock lockscreen. For example display calendar and weather, changing the clock etc. I know there is WidgetLocker and other apps but i want to keep the great unlocking animation from the stock lockscreen and of course knockoff from lockscreen.
Who else wants this?
Who can make this possible?

I'm using a PIN code for security, so that changes things a bit. On that version of the lock screen, you can swipe from the left and add widgets. Stock lockscreen.

Thx for your suggestion!! iam aware of that and it is also avaible without PIN security. But i want to see my next appointment and weather on the main lockscreen and change the (ugly) stock clock.
Try "Android Weather" app. It has the features you mention, you can make the widget transparent if you want, and it can be added to the lockscreen.

Hi some time ago I was using the widgetlocker app and I loved one of the experimental features that disabled the softkeys, the google now and the notifications bar so pretty much the only way to unlocking the phone was through the slider, so if I made the slider icon invisible, i'd have a simple secure lock screen which only I could unlock. Anyways widget locker doesn't have this option anymore plus I dont like how the music widget doesnt appear and dissapear when you have music playing like in the stock lockscreen. So I would appreciate if someone had an Idea on how to make my lockscreen like this again, btw im rooted. THANKS EVERYONE!!

Samsung got rid of third party widgets and app shortcuts on the lock screen.

After the first week or so with lockscreen widgets on other phones, I found them useless. They were limited in information and functionality... and honestly, my muscle memory was to pickup my phone and unlock it. Then if they magnified to the full screen, the area to swipe to unlock got small... I just think for me, they were a waste. Once I am 2 or 3 swipes, or touches in, I can unlock it just as fast.
I hope someone figures out how to add them back. I have an ICE app that I need to have a lock screen widget for.
I always used the message g widget, always quicker than unlocking and going into the messaging app, I also used the app shortcut widget that u swipes to the right for, especially after getting spoiled using cover lockscreen, which I uninstalled due to too many bugs

The same for me. Please, help us!
I know that with root, I can use Xposed framework and download galaxy s5 widget to do it... but what about Note4 without root ?
(P.S. I'm sorry for my English...)
Ice contact lock screen
You can add your ICE contact (phone number etc.) to lockscreen by writing it in to the "owner information" -field, which can be found under lockscreen settings. No need for ICE-app.

I like to put Google Now widget on lockscreen.
Hi, got a question. And no, i didn`t do an extensive search, because lock and icons shows me a billion loockscreen threads.
I got my father an S4(9505) currently running Samsungs Lolipop. He, being not "tech savy" to put it polite, sometimes moves icons or widgets accidently on the homescreen and then wonders where they went.
I already cleared out none useful icons, only the most needed remain. However, is there any way to lock the icons in place on the stock Samsung TouchWiz homescreen?
Thanks in advance

Launchers like Nova and Apex have a "Lock homescreen" or "lock desktop" feature that prevents any modifications to the homescreen. I think this is what you're looking for, but I don't know if the touchwiz launcher has such an option. You will have to dig through its settings.
If not, get Nova, or Apex, or even Holo launcher. They are basically the same and all 3 have that feature.
