[Q] Customizing lock screen. - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hello guys,
Is it possible to customize the lock screen? I just want to add a widget or two to what i have now. I have an app that tells me how much time is left till my class ends so if i can add that to my lock screen it would be awesome.

Widget Locker on the market is a popular one.

[APP REQ] Hide-a-Widget.

I have an idea for an app, but no means to make it myself.
I would like an app that you can apply to widgets on your home screen. It would make them disappear. Then when you want to use the widget, tap the space where it was on the screen, and it reappears. This way you could have a very clean home screen with a nice wallpaper and no icons, until you need to use them.
Anyone up for the challenge?
I agree. This could be really cool if someone can develop this.
Anyone... I think this would be really awesome. The ability to have a minimalist home screen, but in one touch have widgets, or shortcuts appear would be awesome.

[REQ] Blank Lock Screen Widget

That it's all. Please, I have no clue how to do it myself.
Little more info please! I quess you mean lock screen widget for android 4.2.1? If so, then you can make it easily with uccw.
Yes, a 4.2 lock screen widget is what I meant.
I'll give it a go with UCCW.I'd life ti day it's overkill but I just didn't think of it!
Thanks.
Brilliant suggestion, I made a 1x1 transparent widget in uccw and dropped it on the lock screen.

[Q] Changing the weather app on the Lock Screen

I have just installed the Android 4.4.2 KitKat Resurrection Remix rom.
All working just fine, still getting used to it.
One question?
Only two options of weather apps available for the Lock Screen.
Yahoo and openweathermap
I would like to use the BBC weather map if possible.
Question is it possible and if so how do I show it.
Cheers

I have the BBC app / widget on but cannot find any way to add it to the lock screen.
The option to customise lock screen weather gives only the two options I mentioned above.
Update
I found the way to add the weather widget to a side screen from the lock screen but that is not actually what I wanted.

You need to set "Custom widgets" on lockscreen. Then you long press on the actual widget and delete it. Then you can add your preferred widget.

Thanks for that.
Tried your suggestion and although I have the Custom Widget turned on I am unable to get the option to remove the weather from the lock screen.
I can with this Rom, de-select the weather widget on lock screen in settings to remove it.
Still no way to add my own selection to lock screen.
I can add a new screen to the side of the lock screen but that's not what I wanted.

In lockscreen swipe doen to maximize widget, then you can delete it by longpressing

That did the trick although it doesn't look very good due to the length of our village name.
But it works a treat otherwise.
Much appreciated :good:

Adding a Widget to android build

Hello,
I wanted to add a widget to the lock screen to my Android N build. I see that there is a clock widget on the lock screen. I would like to add a widget to the lock screen along with the clock in the android build. I was trying to locate where the clock is being included in the lock screen and add my widget also along with it. But wasn't able to locate it. Does anyone know anything where it is located Thanks in advance.

Magi home ui/ icons

Hi all
I'm new to this forum so I'm still getting used to this. I'm currently having issues with the MAGI Home UI, the widgets and some icons. I know this theme is really old and built for a previous version of Android, but I'll try to get all the questions I have out of the way. I'm not sure if there's still anyone active with this project since the theme is around 8 years old.
1. The MAGI "UI show screen list" animation plays, with the rotating screens. However, when I tap one of the screens, the animation continues playing in the background despite the screen already set into place.

2. Some of the issues for the widgets are that it is blank. This happens for the news widget, the user phone number widget, and the weather widget. For the weather widget, I think you have to download some kind of app, as tapping it takes me to the Play Store, but it's just stuck on a loading screen. If anyone knows, please tell me what app I have to download for the weather widget to function.
