Lock screen weather - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I am wondering if someone might be able to answer this. I am trying to get access to the in the lockscreen weather but Verizon has removed the setting to be able to turn this on. Could someone possibly use an app like shortcut master or use Nova launcher and add the activities widget and post what the activities name is to be able to get to the lockscreen weather settings.
It would be something like com.samsung.android.settings.LockScreenWeather or something along those lines.

Ok, does anyone have the calendar widget listed in their options for lock screen widgets
No I was just looking to do this as well. I'd love to have the 5X5 samsung widget on the lockscreen.

Friend figured it out. Need to install a 4.2 compatible widget. Simple calendar widget does it then it appears. I wish the review sites would mention what they install so we don't pull our hair out thinking something is missing.

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.

Open a widget from a widget

So I'm trying to open a widget from a widget, here's what I'm working with. For the Harmony icons, I want to be able to tap them and have them open up another window that shows all the activities that are on that hub, with a different icon for the current activity. I can't seem to find a way to open another widget from tapping on one of them, is it possible? I've also played with trying to set up a Tasker Scene, but it doesn't seem like I can change icons in there. Thoughts?

Stock Weather & Clock Widger

I removed the stock widget that came on my home screen and tried several widgets from the play store, and was unable to find one that I liked. Unfortunately I cannot see to locate the original one. I see the clock widget that had no weather info, and the weather widget is too large. Can anyone help me out with this (or another suggestion)? I just want something small that just displays time, date, and temp. Thanks.
Chronos clock and weather widget has a lot of options, I'm using the paid and have been for years so I may see more than you.
Stock widget is called OnePlus Widget
