I've upgraded to 4.2.2 a week ago and i find the upgrade worth it although there are some bugs and a little lag involved.
Anyway, i get to use the new feature in android ----> lockscreen widgets. But this new feature is very limited and pretty much useless in my case. I already use the camera from the physical button (no need for 'swype to right' widget). On the left side i would like to use a flashlight widget (teslaLED) or the sony notes widget which i use often but none of them are available for use in lockscreen widgets list.
Both apps have widgets but they do not appear in the lockscreen widgets list. Really frustrating issue.
Is there a solution to make these widgets work on lockscreen?
Do you know a flashlight app who's widget will work on lockscreen as well?
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.
Hi all,
Since my G3 became very laggy in a week or so, lots of redraws when returning to the home screen, I decided to just get rid of the Smart Notice / Weather widget on the home screen. This pretty much fixed the issue with redrawing. Unfortunately I'd like to have this stock widget.. Does anyone know what's actually causing the problem with the widget? Also I prefer using the stock launcher..

Hello , LG's widget "Smart Notice" is using a lot of power from the device . It is using a lot of pixels and it is designed for 2K display so that's why you can see a few flashes from the widget or redrawing .
You can download the stock widget from 3rd party developers which has the same looks but it is more power efficient and it will not use so many pixels !
Hello,
I am looking for a lockscreen replacement for my G3 that supports smart lock with Bluetooth and live wallpapers (I am trying to set Muzei Live Wallpaper also on my lockscreen, and not only in the home screen).
Any help? Are there any? Been searching through the forums but I can't find anything detailed up to now.
Thanks in advance.
I recently upgraded to the 20V firmware on my H11. Here is the problem. I was on 20R. I had a clock and weather widget on my homescreen that was there by default but now it is gone. Does anyone know how I can get the stock 20R clock/weather widget back? I tried long pressing my home screen and flipping through widgets in hopes of getting it back, but it looks like it has been removed. Does anyone know if I can extract from the old firmware? I tried the apps in the app store and they are just not the same. My old firmware had the clock and weather where if it were raining my home screen have rain drops. I loved it. The new widgets are just not the same and they look awful and non familiar to me.
Please help...........
