the clock also has my "supposed" location" just underneath the time.
Is there any way to change the settings on the widget to remove the location as the location is never correct ( i think it may be the location of the phone mast it is using )
Also if i remove the clock widget altogether, how do i get it back as Ive been into Add Widgets and it is not the "Analog Clock" by Andoird or the Clock by HTC
Have you clicked on the Clock by HTC and gone right? Its there.
When you re-add it you can add a City of anywhere, so you can manually choose your own city. Not sure about the name, haven't really looked at that part...
it is the clock by h t c you need to swipe to the right to see the version you're talking about.
when you choose the widget you can choose any location you want

I dunno about disabling location but you can pick your own location instead of it doing it automatically.

I don't need an app to tell me what the weather is right now, where I am right now. I've got five built-in senses that do a pretty good job of working that out, no data connection necessary.
I like the flip clock though.
Related (But not what OP asked). The Defaulted clock the Location was wrong at Arrival obviously. However after changing it into the Right City the weather plugin on the Homescreen now displays the right area (Although lacking the proper letters "å ä ö" are displayed as "a a o" but that's not the problem. Once I hit the weather it suddenly displays the "Current" city seems to be defaulted at "Sweden"... Is there a way to change that Current city or force it so it displays the right things?

Have a look on the market for a flip clock app then or just IGNORE the weather on it.
Is there any way to change the position of clock and weather on lock screen from top to bottom. I don't understand why did Samsung remove this very useful feature that was available on Note 1. Or I am just stupid and the setting is somewhere in Settings menu?
Still looking..
Any luck yet ?
If yes, can you please direct me... thanks

Ok so I can remove blinkfeed from the left side but can only blinkfeed back onto the left when I go to add a homescreen page. I want to add a blank homescreen for shortcuts, widgets, etc. but can only choose blinkfeed. Anyone know of a way to add a blank homescreen page on the left? Thanks.

I want to thank everyone on here for the replies over the last two days on my other questions.
One thing I want is to get DashClock as the default lock screen, but I can only get it to the "screen on the right of my normal launch screen" and am unable to delete the default lock screen and make DashClock take over the "one on the left" that is the default.
Has anyone gotten DashClock to work properly with the new HTC One, and if so, please tell me how.
Thank you all,
I haven't been able to figure out how to get a different widget on the "main" homescreen, either. I was able to swipe to the left (to go right) and place a widget on that homescreen, but no way to change the default that I can see.

Not sure I understand your issue. You can remove the default widget(s) on the device by simply pressing and holding, then dragging them off the screen. You can also modify the home screens in Settings --> Personalize --> Manage Home Screen Pages. You can switch which screen is "home" and even remove a whole screen.
As far as adding apps/widgets/homescreens, just press and hold a blank space on the screen and utilize the dropdown menu.
I have Dashclock running just fine on my M8, and use it for Daydream. Only issue I don't like is that to get it to Daydream horizontally, I have to start Daydream manually with the phone horizontal. Wish it would autosense that.

Like everyone else is stating, we can add DashClock to the right, move, edit and remove the DashClock lock widget screen, but it is always to the right of the "home lock screen" thus if I want to see it I need to swipe from the very top of the lock screen to see what is to the right of it.
The "home lock screen" is unable to be "removed' since the "remove" button is greyed out for that, I can only "edit". When I want to remove or edit the DashClock lock screen both the "edit" and "remove" are available, but not on the default lock screen widget.
No one else has bene able to get DashClock on the main lock screen because I can't drag DashClock to the left, and I can't drag the home screen lock widget to the right, even though I can see both when I have DashClock "held down" to move, it just won't go to the left of the defaul "home lock screen" to then make DashClock the default view.

I mistakenly referred to "homescreen" instead of "lockscreen." Sorry for the confusion...

To tell the truth, I haven't figured out how to add widgets to the lockscreen..... I use a PIN anyway so not sure it would make a difference.
Go to Settings > Security > Enable Lock Screen Widget.
Full details...
Doesn't work you can't move or remove the main lock screen. I can edit and move and lock screens I add to the right, but not the default main one.

Any update?
Don't suppose anyone have found a solution to this?
Id would be nice to at least be able to add another widget under the stock lockscreen clock widget.
Not for dash clock but for Nils you can use the floating widget and it works fine

So has anyone figured a way to remove the crappy default lock screen widget? I don't get why anyone would want to use this ****ty one when Dashclock is far superiour.
I still can't remove the main widget OR get the Dashclock to become the main widget "on the left".
Anyone?

Well I bit the bullet and bought "Widget Locker" just so I could get a proper lock screen. Bull**** I have to pay $2.99 to get my lock screen up.
You normally have to go to Settings>Security and allow widgets first, then you can add a new one and delete the original (at least that's how you do it on the Nexus 5)

Eddy, thank you for the reply but clearly you haven't read a single thing on this thread. Anyone can add as many widgets as they want, but they can't delete the default one on the home screen, so we are stuck with it because the "remove" is greyed out for the default. I can have DashClock widget to the right of my main one, but that does no one any good.
It is impossible to remove the default widget, or move it to a position where it is not the default. The only way to get DashClock widget properly installed on this ever increasingly ****ty phone is to pay $2.99 for a program to unlock it.

Chill, dude - I had read it, just missed the bit about the stock one being greyed out, just thought you were having issues making the new one the 'home' one! Surprised HTC have done that, kinda sucks as I prefer to have Chronus as my lockscreen widget of choice...

this is the product of the f***ing Standard clock on the 1st Lockscreen page. You cannot delete it, you cannot move it to 2nd Screen, so to have a e.g. nice Dashclock, you always have to Swipe right or left.
Dirty solution atm for me is NiLS with Floating Panel on stock lockscreen. I would use the AOSP lockscreen with Dashclock (running ViperOne), but it's lacking off DoubleTap2Wake function. And after 1 week, it's a thing Icannot live without anymore
AOSP Lock Screen
I haven't tried this yet on my M8 so YMMV, but it worked for getting the AOSP lock screen on my Sense M7...requires root...
Titanium backup
Backup/Uninstall HTC lock screen
Reboot
Terminal or ADB
su
am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity;
So I learned that it's not possible to ad custom widgets to the lockscreen, but I read somewhere that there should be a default weather widget that shows there. How do I set it up? I can only see the time, I've been looking everywhere in the phone but I don't see the option...
You have to open the weather widget and let it grab your current location and then it will load on your lock screen.

Ok got it, thanks! Pretty basic features though, I wish the lockscreen would accept some other widgets... The default weather widget doesn't even give you more info when you tap it in the lock screen.

I don't know if it matters, but I did notice there are 2 different weather widgets that you can select, I selected the second one in the list that looks like this.
I am guessing it shouldn't matter? But I have no idea why it is not working for you.

Weird, ok I just cleared my weather data, no longer showed temp on my lock screen. Added the first widget to my Nova launcher main screen, and turned on location I have high accuracy set and Location History turned on. The widget says tap to add city, I tap it then get a dialog to use current location i click agree and it tries to find my location. I select my current location from the list. Go to my lockscreen and the Temp is there.

Glitch
I'm pretty sure that the AT&T stock version of Android 5.0.1 has a bug with this LockScreen feature. It sometimes works on my lock-screen, but in no way I can access any settings of it in the Show Info - Weather section. I'm using Nova launcher, but the lock-screen is an Android feature, it shouldn't conflict each-other.
Anyone found a solution other than a full factory reset?
The problem with the lockscreen weather is that you can only update it at 1 hour intervals as a minimum. That's way too slow. 30 minutes is max for me for weather updates. 15 minutes would be better.
