just installed 4.2.2 for the very first time (had 4.1.2 so had to go thru all OTAs) and honestly cannot figure out how the heck the new lockscreen works, how to add widgets, how to add more than one widget on the same lockscreen page....
any help?
thanks
It's not possible to add more than one widget on same lockscreen page.

aha ok thanks
and how can I keep the widget full page? I installed a calendar widget but it stays minimised and I can see only one appointment...
gosh this new lockscreen is crap
I think the only way to expand it it's click on it... and yes, it's not one of the best designed feature in JB...

It's a built in feature of AOKP - just text though, no icons. Otherwise, you need something like widget locker.

Widgetsoid2 widgets - very configurable, use background from your gallery for contacts.
Gasks - nice scrollable one for agenda and tasks.
N7 Player
Any Go Launcher shortcut - replace with any png image.
Excellent, thanks!
Does anyone know if there is a Whatsapp widget for counting unread messages?

I use HD Widgets for time and weather. I have the paid version. Not sure what the free one is like.

I use GO Launcher and GO Notifications for unread count. You have to search for the Go Notifications apk since the Play store says not compatible. I can confirm it works with Gmail and K9.

I have downloaded and installed the apk but I can find no sign of it anywhere. Could you tell me where to look for it? Thanks!
Edit: What I mean is that I don't get the option to open the file after install. Where did you find your apk?

I'm kind of partial to the widgets below:
Weathereye (having issues at the moment): http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.citc.weather&feature=nav_result#
Minimalistic Text: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&feature=search_result#
Flipboard: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flipboard.app&feature=search_result#
Power toggles: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&feature=search_result#
Simple Calendar: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anod.calendar&feature=search_result#
If you want to see what it looks like check the post your home screen thread here.
UCCW - most customizable clock/weather/whatever widget available, check XDA main Themes forum for UCCW thread with 100s of themes
Minimal Reader - for news
Jorte - for Calendar
I use AOKP so no need for power toggles since they are in the dropdown...
Beautiful widgets has a nice selection of weather widgets.
You talkin' to me? GO notify is part of the GO app. If you hit settings and scroll to the right, you'll see notifications (after you installed the apk), click it and lets you set notifications for various things. It's not an app or widget, but does show up in system apps list.

If only they would fix the dynamic sizing option in their 4x1 weather. Using it at the moment until weathereye gets sorted. /rant
Another vote for power toggles here. Works well with the default theme (appearance wise)

Since there are too few lockscreen widgets provided for 4.2, let's share what we found !

it's just a agenda , not exactly a calendar....
I would have posted a widget call "battery disc" but since i am a noob here, it won't let me post links...what a shame:crying:
data plan
How about a lock screen widget with the data plan stats on it that would be awesome and also to have just the normal data plan widget for the home screen with all the stats and the limit for the day.
HD Widgets was updated and now can be used for the lockscreen.

I second this; it looks great, and even compresses the widgets when you pull down the keypad. :good:
Here,
Android 4.2 Lockscreen Compatible Apps
Hi,
First of all sorry for being a noob. And my problem is, is there any way for me to put a note/todo widget on the lockscreen of my note 2 running jelly bean 4.1.2, unrooted. Please let me know if there is a way to get there..
Thanks
Lock screen widgets are introduced in Android 4.2, so we don't have them yet. Wait till samsung releases 4.2 version update to our Note 2
Try go locker it has option for lock screen widget. Don't know exactly for note widget

Thanks for the quick response; by the way, i had tried go locker but it seems to be complicating the lockscreen as a whole.. The widgets are placed as a seperate page which makes us swipe from the lock screen to view the widgets. That itself ruins the sense of lockscreen widget i think. We could use that very simple swype on the stock lockscreen to get the whole homescreen with all the widgets. So this sort of idea made me uninstall go locker. I just want to be reminded of my next hr todo s whenever i try to use my phone. So here i think a wait till 4.2 is the only way out rite?...

Anyone know a weather widget I can use on lockscreen that works like HTC Animated Weather? That made clouds, sun, rain across the entire lockscreen. I remember I use to have one that when it rained on one ROM you would see a wiper wipe away the rain drops but I can't find an app that does that. Using MOAR ROM with Android 4.3
Fancy widgets has that option

Thanks will check that out. Checked it out and does not work.. Fancy Widgets! Beautiful Widgets! Animated Weather! None work with MOAR 9 ROM. Maybe something broken with the Android 4.3. All I know is I can not get a single animated weather to work! Is there some mod that I can flash that will give me animated weather?
I wonder how to add weather widget in lock screen, too
I'm also using MOAR 9

From what I understand the feature is no longer available due to Google and there stupidity removing feature from the kernel. Why does the kernel seem to be getting less and less features as they update. Google we'll give you one feature but take away 2 or 3 but because of the 1 you will never miss it.. I really hate Google.
