Hi all,
I'm running CM11 Nightly (20140107) on my GT-I9195 (S4 Mini). I'm required to have a PIN lock due to Exchange Policy, but I am able to modify the lock screen widgets. Since I have lowered the DPI for my System UI, I have quite a lot of room available above the PIN lock.
Apart from the date, time, weather and agenda provided by the cLock widget, I think I should be able to fit some more things in there, for example additional system information or some application shortcuts. I would like to have date, time and weather on the top-left, some other widget(s) on the top-right, and full-width agenda underneath.
However, I think you are only allowed to have two full-screen widgets on the lock screen; one default, and another one when you scroll to the left. So, I guess I should use some 'super' widget for this; a widget that is simply a container for other widgets. Does anyone know whether something like this exists? I have found Widget Maker in the Play Store which seems to fit my needs, but although it works fine as a regular home screen widget, it does not show up in the list of widgets when adding a lock screen widget.
Please note that I'm aware of WidgetLocker; I've used this before. The drawback is that you need two steps to unlock your device; first dismiss WidgetLocker, then enter your device PIN. So if possible, I would like to combine the standard PIN lock screen with multiple custom widgets.
Any suggestions?

I've an issue regarding the combination of the Beautiful Widget screen unlock animation and the widgetlocker app that I was hoping someone could give advice/pointers on. I'm using a Nexus S with Oxygen 2.3.1 ROM
I have beautiful widget on one of my homescreens with the unlock animation activated. I've also got Widgetlocker activated on top of the android pattern unlock. What I notice is that weather animation sometimes has issues appearing.
When I unlock the device, turn the screen off, and unlock the device very quickly, the animation does appear. But if I wait a few extra seconds before screen-unlock, the animation sometimes shows up.
If i use only widgetlocker or only the android pattern unlock, the animation always appears.
has anyone reproduced this issue or know a way around it? thanks!!
I've got the same issue. I use the pin lock, but same thing. It seems if you unlock quick enough, you can see the animation, but it disappears a split second later. Its like Widget Locker triggers the animation instead of the pin lock screen, and the animation is starting behind the scenes while i type in my pin. Your right though, if I turn the screen off, then unlock again right after, it works.
I think there are two issues here:
1. The Android unlock screen should trigger the animation, not Widget Locker
2. The animation does start, but the duration is set to 20 seconds, and it dies within 1 second.
I was hoping there was a Widget Locker setting that might compensate for this. I tried "root helper" to no avail. Also, there is a setting that says "Retain System Keyguard (not recommended. but may help interactions with other lockscreen-related programs)", no dice.
For what it's worth, I have a Samsung Infuse 4g running SGH_I997_UCKK4 Rom (a Samsung leak).
I'm using fold 3 fancy widget stoped working all together. So now I've installed beautiful widget a nd the unlock animations are not working at all. When I open the app I see the clouds moving so I know It should be working. I've cleaned the cache and still nothing any suggestions from anyone? Wish there was another app to have windshield whiper when it rains like fancy widget...
So I made a nice clock widget with UCCW and I have it set up on my home screen. I want to use it on my lock screen as well with PIN security. I can set up the UCCW click widget if there is no security on the lock screen - ie 'swipe to unlock'. But if I set up my own clock, then change security to use pin, the old default clock appears. Is there any way around this?
I am assuming you are using the stock rom with the device and that you have not changed your locker?
Unfortunately the S4 locker is somewhat limited in that capabilities - you can add it but won't be on the same screen that has the pattern, it is really limited in what it can do to that end.
You could try a different locker.
Hey guys,
I don't really like HTC's lockscreens, so I disabled it. I have Android's security set to PIN, but I really don't like the PIN lock screen either. It's boring, gray colored, has some weather info at the top I really don't need, etc. I'd like a more cohesive experience.
So what I'm wondering is, can I set up a PIN lock screen that's just a simple PIN keypad on top of my wallpaper? I'd use WidgetLocker but that only deals with sliders, not keypads.
Thanks.
I was excited to upgrade to 4.3 to get the lock screen widget capability, but when I installed Dashclock, it does not seem to work like it should. When I tap on items on the Dashclock widget nothing happens. For example, according to the Dashclock documentation, clicking on the Gmail widget should load up Gmail. It doesn't. Tapping on the settings icon does nothing. Pretty much nothing works.
I think this is most likely an HTC issue with their lock screen app. Does anyone know if there is some kind of HTC API I can use to fix this (Dashclock is open source and I can make changes to try it).
thanks!

With 4.2.2+ (including 4.3) HTC removed the google lock screen which can be used with dash clock and added their own which you can only add 1 widget.
Yes and that widget does not work properly. Like I said, tapping on the Settings icon for example does nothing.
If you press on any dash clock widget shortcuts it will do nothing you have to press and then unlock and you will be on the shortcut that you tap on.
If you tapped on weather for example when you unlock you will not unlock to home instead you will unlock to the weather shortcut

Aha, that works. Seems kind of strange having to take the extra step but at least I know it works now. Thanks!
Hello, just joined the forums, sorry if this is in the wrong place.
I want to change the lock screen on my Samsung Galaxy S5 and still be able to use the finger print scanner, I have tried my locker but I couldn't seem to get it to work with the finger print. I am testing with dodol locker at the moment but I can't see any option on there either.
I just want a simple background with date/time, weather, pedometer, battery status, camera shortcut, alarm status and a list of new calls/messages/emails. Also would like buttons for music when it is player such as pause/play and skip.
Is that possible? What app should I use?
Thanks.
