If you're like me and like notifications on the lock screen I found an app in the play store called dash clock widget and the hangouts dash clock extension... 2 separate apps. Use them for a lock screen widget and it works great so far...

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)

I use widget locked and place the minimalistic text widget for calendar

What are some other alternative locks screens I feel like Widget locker is just getting so lazy, They haven't updated the icons in forever!

I need one that only comes up when needed, not like the WL that stays there even if you don't have any calendar appointments.

The four lock-screen widgets are OK (the calendar is the most useful I feel), but I was surprised that there was only 4. Are there any others out there?

Mizuu has just updated to add some.
Personally, I've turned lockscreen widgets off for now.
Hopefully more apps get updated to support this feature as right now it's a bit useless

There are more in the play store, search "4.2 lock screen widgets"...its mostly clocks, but any thing new is a plus!
EDIT: There are double as many apps as when I checked yesterday, new widgets, a lot more. I can only assume this is a glimpse of what's to come.

If you don't like the 4.2 lock screen clock there's the Nexus 4 clock that allows you to add the 4.2 Analogue clock to your lock screen. I've also added the IP Widget that allows you to add a Widget to your lock screen that provides network status.
In the UK there are only 3 Widgets clock, calendar & gmail by default for some reason, what's the 4th default Widget?

I believe it is Google Sound search/Ears. I don't have it either (Finland).
Yes it's Google Sound Search.

I wonder why Google didn't unfreeze Sound Search with the 4.1.2 updat where Google Music is available now.
In Italy it's missing too even though there is Google Music since mid-november
Anyone mind sharing your weather widgets or know a nice wv post here cause the 1 that comes with TW is a shame takes up to much ram and rewrites and lags up the launcher by just scrolling. Deactivate it and its parts and your phone is going much snappier.

Transparent weather widget on play store is very good can custom to ur liking?

+1 for Android Weather. Just dled it last night but its the best weather widget I've ever used. I like how yo can open your calendar and clock app from the widget. Thanks for the heads up in this.
I use WeatherLove (Free on Market) , customisable , gps based (can be disabled) , transparency capable ... Have a try
HD Weather Widgets. Very customizable. It's foggy at the moment (you can see a cloud in the middle, under the clock). Background is set to Transparent.
Beautiful widgets.
It doesn't consume so much RAM or processor power.

most of the time, with the modified OEM software, the widgets are built into the launcher so when you install a third-party launcher you loose access to those widgets.
Interesting. I'm now wondering that, too. I never noticed the S-Planner widgets before. I also use Nova but all I get is the standard calendar widget. I definitely like the S-Planner widget, but not enough to switch back to the TW launcher.
Update: I've done a quick search and it doesn't appear anyone has solved this issue. Even for the port to the S2 that I found, TW is still involved.
