I can't find the way to put a lock screen widget, is it not possible?
In case it matters, I'm trying to put the Chronus widget there...
TouchWiz doesn't have the ability to use lockscreen widgets anymore, the option was taken away with the S5.

I was on a Touchwiz KK rom with my Note 2 that could have lockscreen widgets, I just wrongly assumed it could be possible in Stock TW too

Im looking for a few features on my lockscreen that dont appear to be possible with stock att galaxy.
I would like to get more than 4 shortcut apps on the lockscreen.
I would also like an email widget and calendar widget, maybe something similar to the news widget for the jb lockscreen.
Possible?

Not without your own personal modding, or flashing something else that has it...
Widget Locker will let you place sliders, widgets, and shortcuts on your lockscreen. I've never tried it with a stock ROM, but see no reason it shouldn't work.
You can find it in the Play store.

Excellent 1st post... You get a thanks...
Yep, Widget Locker will do a lot of what you're looking for. One tip, go into your lock screen settings (in your phone settings, not in WL settings) and set it to none once you've activated WL. This will keep the odd times when your stock lock screen might appear after unlocking via WL.
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!!!

Hello Everyone,
This is not something that I have created, but it is in fact something that I have checked myself and it does work successfully. I am running it now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/themes-apps/4x5-touchwiz-home-t2910243
The only complaint I have is now that I have 5x5 on TW home screen, the widgets that I have on a few pages are made for 4x4 and I cannot resize it, nor center it. Anyone know of any tricks to force a resize or set a permanent resize for each widget?
And yes, I do now that some widgets have the ability to be resized, but not all, so this is one of the ones that is not resizable lol
Ideally, I'd like to see a 4x5 option so that the widgets could be centered, but we still have 5 rows. Just my 2 cents.

anyone seen or know of a deodexed 5x6 or 5x7 layout to flash ?
why not just use a custom launcher like Nova? It gives all these options plus lots more.

NOVA completely changes the stock weather widget if you use the S5 weather widget and it dont let u use the calendar widget like its supposed to. This is the main and only thing i dislike about Nova.

I agree what about making a 5x6 custom launcher for stock touch wiz that will fit the stick weather widget? Is that possible
I switched to Google Now Launcher and for the life of me I can't find the Weather + Pedometer widget to add to my homescreen. Is it baked into a TW only feature?
Touchwiz widgets will not work in another launcher.

Which is why I always scratch my head when people buy a Samsung device and run a third party launcher. The Touchwiz widgets are awesome imo.

All the touchwiz widgets work with apex launcher. To add them I have to make 5x5 columns and rows, or it will say no more room on homescreen.

Seriously doubt all of them work... can you add a action memo to your home screen as a widget? Does it give you the thumbtack to pin them?
I have several samsung widgets working on Nova, specifically S-Note, but the s-planner widget doesn't even show up in the list of widgets that can be placed.

I also use Apex and can use most of the Samsung widgets including pedometer and S-Memo widgets.
Anyone know how to disable the clock or at least remove that sphere over it cause it interfere with my wallpapers
Are you on Lollipop or Kitkat? If on Lollipop, it's no longer possible because lockscreen widgets are gone. If on Kitkat, use the app blank widget from Google Play. Add a blank widget to the lockscreen and delete the one with the clock.
