If you have the AOSP lockscreen it will not show up.

Does your lockscreen give you an option to unlock or camera?
If so that is AOSP and it won't work with the weather widget.
I am sure it can be fixed but I have no idea and haven't attempted.
If your not using it then no idea, I thought he kept the files for it to work.
Ya i am sorrry, i do have that screen
I have the Accuweather app and the AOKP lockscreen and the 1x4 wiget works fine. Or are you trying to use the weather wiget on the lockscreen? Try the 1x4 on the home screen and use no background collor...

There is a lockscreen weather widget included with the official builds.
Which is also in the Settings.apk for you to turn on and off but only works on Samsung lockcreen.
Your way is the only easy workaround as of now, I suggested it for others.

The Samsung (Circle) lock screen is an add on in the second post of the SHOstock2 thread. So if you want to use the weather on your lock screen you can change to the other lock screen. The clock position in the settings also only applies to the circle lock screen. You don't need the accuweather widget installed for the weather on the circle lock screen to work.

I absolutely love the ripple effect unlock on the S3 - But I kinda hate the lockscreen itself (bad quality image for the wallpaper, ugly clock, non-customized icons for shortcuts, etc...).
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could either customize the S3 lockscreen and use my own clock widgets and/or icons OR somehow get the ripple effect unlock over to my WidgetLocker screen...?
I'd probably just prefer to use the ripple unlock in WidgetLocker.

Not sure on this, widgetlocker is great, but I find it causes wakelocks which isn't helpful. I just wish there was a way to what shortcuts show on the stock lockscreen, and wish it showed todays calendar appointments. That would make it pretty close to perfect without dealing with widgetlockers battery drain issue.
Fwiw, I notice that widget locker constantly asks for your location in the permissions log... Not widget related as I had nothing on the screen just a slider. Guessing that is what causes the wakelock'ing

You can change what shortcuts on lockscreen. Settings. Security. Lock screen options. Short cuts

Awesome, thanks for that.... Now if we could only get Calendar appointments to display, maybe a dev will work it out. Although probably just use the AOKP / CM lockscreen if that's the case when the time comes.
Install water drops plus from the play store and choose whichever wallpaper you like to put under the water and you can use it with widget locker.. Maybe add a transparent slider for now also... That's the best thing I can think of

Disable automatic drops in settings so it only ripples on touch unless yu like it automatic.. Just play around with it..

Heh i sent the author of WidgetLocker an email the other day talking about this very thing....
I not only like the ripple effect but the slider itself being able to be used from ANYWHERE on the screen is nice.
Usually WidgetLocker is very good about adding features and fixing issues in the past.. the only reason I can see him not being able to do something like this would be due to restrictions with the OS itself.
As for the suggestion on waterdrops.. that's great if you don't already use a LiveWallpaper If you use a Livewallpaper like I do, you cannot have 2 of them running at once (one for the lockscreen and one for the normal phone operation).
Hi there. I have a galaxy s3 since a mounth or two and i have a contact that i call 20 or 25 time per day.
I want to know if there is a HACK or a MOD to integrate a direct call shortcut to the original lockscreen of the S3.
Thanks
I'm not sure about a hack/mod for the stock lock screen - someone else will hopefully clue you in about that.
Failing that though you could replace the stock lock screen with Widgetlocker which will allow you to add custom shortcuts and widgets (such as a direct dial widget for instance) to the lock screen.

I know this is old topic but Samsung did no changes to solve the problem. I wanted to keep original lock screen and be able to launch shortcuts from it, so I wrote an app for it. Application can be mapped with any shortcut, so when you press app icon it works like pressing shortcut icon. Unfortunately there is no possibility to change app icons, so I put launcher icons with different numbers on it.
Application is called Shortcut Launcher. You can download it from Google Play.
And if you don't want to install stuff, you could just add a call contact widget on the homescreen, you would still have to unlock it but it's some steps quicker
You can also use the ROM SlimBean, it has the option to add widgets to the lockscreen
I'm running RootBox Android version 4.2.1 and the cLock widget does not display my calendar or weather. I had the same problem with the same widget on another CM10.1 ROM. Am I missing something to enable it or is it just not working?

Read this thread and got it working on the lockscreen. Still doesn't show the weather or calendar on the homescreens though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078205

Long press the widget to edit, then drag it down to extend it. If you have the options of calendar/weather enabled it will show them.
Download dash clock widget. Cool app. Shows time(obviously), weather, calender,gmail, texts and twitter updates. You can set it to show whatever you like

Anyone able to help me find this lockscreen?
I'm assuming it's the same lockscreen, in which case I'd guess it's WidgetLocker with custom icons and widgets. The clock widget on the right may be Chronus.

Yep... WidgetLocker is the one on the left...
I have been searching around for a way to automatically change the lockscreen wallpaper. I have Samsung Galaxy S4. It has a lockscreen wallpaper called "travel wallpaper" which does this but has major limitations (can't select the images myself, uses mobile data). I ahve tried other wallpaper changer apps / live wallpapers, but they only change the homescreen wallpaper not the lockscreen.
I do have WidgetLocker and added some widget that did the trick... but I am trying to go back to the stock lockscreen since WidgetLocker hasn't been reliable for me (it only works sometimes, others the stock lockscreen shows up. Also WidgetLocker doesn't have media controls.
