Has anyone been able to get this working?
When I use the stock "Music" app it just appears as a small widget on the lockscreen and I mainly use Google Play Music on all my devices which the album art shows up fine on my Galaxy S5's lockscreen but I cannot for the life of me get it working on this device.
Don't tell me this is a feature Samsung actually removed from KitKat. -_-
Just checked using Google Play Music and it doesn't show up. Can't seem to find any option to enable it either. I've got the fingerprint lock screen if that matters at all.
I know Samsung removed it from the Tab Pro so I'm assuming they removed it here as well.

I grabbed this tablet due to the screen and I do have to say that I do like the tablet. But I come from mainly Nexus devices and the Moto X and I have to say, all this other UI crap should go away, stock Android handles this stuff better from my perspective. Not sure why Samsung and the like spend so much time overlaying stock Android at this point....oh well, I moved to Nova Launcher but it still doesn't give me my lockscreen art and controls that I'm used to on stock Android.
The lock screen you are missing you are not going to get unless you use a nexus for Google edition device. Unfortunately both Samsung and other custom versions of Android butcher their lock screens and you will not get that beautiful stock album art lock screen with this device.
Just bumping this now that we have root in case anyone is aware of a way we can get this back.
same. I need this, and Netflix lockscreen too. it's just Samsung that does this.. HTC and LG keep these widgets in tact

Is it really lockscreen widget related however? Because my S5 has no lockscreen widgets either but gets the lockscreen album art. There's also an Xposed mod to get the lockscreen widgets back on the S5 but I doubt that will do anything here.
I figured it was. I tried that xposed mod from the s5 and it didn't work ?

Samsung's phones running Kitkat get full screen album art. It's just for tablets for some weird reason Samsung decided to remove it.

I'm over the water-like Nature UX Samsung lockscreen crap, and I want to change it to another lockscreen.
But when I've downloaded apps to do it, they're all half assed and either able to get past by just pressing the home button, or it'll have both the Samsung lockscreen AND the downloaded lockscreen.
I just want a lockscreen more like the vanilla 4.2 lockscreen.
Use simplistic framework mod. .it has inbuilt jellybean lock screen
Or use widget locker from play store
scribbled from "the phab" (the note 2 -N7100)
Try turning off the ripple effect in the lock screen settings and see if that suits you.
I hated the water thing too. Lol

Are you rooted?
Youll find it easier with root.
Hey,
I noticed that even though I have installed plenty of widgets, the only ones that show up on the lockscreen are the ones who come up by default from Google's applications... is this supossed to be like this, or am I missing something?

Pretty sure app developers need to make widgets available as lock screen widgets. Not all of my home screen widgets are available when adding a lock screen widget. For example, One Weather has 5 home screen widgets, and only 3 of those are available as lock screen widgets.

I'm new to 4.3, and I'm using an S3 (Mobilicity). Rooted, stock rom and recovery. I'd like to know if it's possible to replace the clock widget from the lockscreen entirely. I'm caught between the xposed framework and Puzzle and Dragons, the game just won't cooperate with the framework (crashes upon opening). So, I've pretty much given up on trying to get secure widgets and everything since PaD won't run with them, and instead would just like to replace that default clock widget with something like DashClock.
If there is a way to do this, it would be much appreciated if you could share. I've looked all over and couldn't find anything on this.
EDIT: Alternately, if there was a way so that apps couldn't detect the xposed framework, or if there was another way to enable multiple widgets on a secured lockscreen, that would be great as well.
EDIT 2: Is there a way to bring back the 2-layer lock screen from 4.1? I can't fathom why they would completely leave that out, I love the swipe screen, it's got lots of space to show the wallpaper, and can also be used for other things (like the widgets >.>"), while you still have a second lock screen for the pattern lock.
Today I saw this "image" of the Galaxy S5 and the first thing that cought my attention was its lockscreen. It looks like the usual android stock lockscreen or widgetlocker, but it has many "orbits" around the center, where many apps can be put. I wonder if such a lockscreen (many discs able to have shortcuts around the center) already eixsts.

It's the photo showing a lockscreen, the first one of the slideshow.
I already use nova launcher and widget locker and I am happy with both, but such an idea looks even more handy.
this lockscreen is supposed to be in the new samsung ui rumoured to be Gravity Ux
but with few apps i guess u can achieve such kind of lockscreen
On my stock KK lockscreen, I removed the default clock widget (the basic text with the time and date) and now I can't get it back. It isn't appearing in the list of lockscreen widgets!
How do I re-add it to my lockscreen without doing a factory reset!?
BTW, by "remove" I mean that I dragged it over to the Remove slot and it was just removed from the lockscreen. I did NOT freeze the clock widget or delete it via Titanium Backup or something.

Just remove all widgets from the lockscreen and it will automagically reappear. LG's logic... They screwed some things with this KK update. The stock LG weather lockscreen widget of 4.1.2 to me is a huge loss.

Thank you. That worked, despite it being stupid to have to do that. :/
I also think it's stupid that they give use a favorite contacts widget, but it can't be used on the lockscreen.
I agree that they screwed some things up too. Overall, the update is great, but for me, getting rid of the aspect ratio correction option in settings is a huge screw up. I have apps that I rely on for work that don't display right without that option. It's pissing me off now that they don't display correctly!!!
