I am not sure if this is possible with a lockscreen widget or another addon.. but is this possible with the android and if so, does it exist? Its for an iphone...
TIA

You can mimic/enhance that look with widget locker.

You can get WidgetLocker and put whatever widgets you want on your lockscreen. There is an app called executive assistant that puts all of this info on your lockscreen as well.

I use widget locker, its a great app. I will have to look for the other widgets to get all these features.
thanks

haha, looking for the right widgets is becoming numb..

Using Launch-X Pro to add extra icons I use.. Still looking for weather and clock.

For Clock, I just found Digital Clock Widget

I am totally stuck on the weather widget. I cant find a 4x1 widget to show a simple weather like the OP... any help here please?

Found it.. for weather, I am using weather forecast widget

its not the ideal solution but it will work.. I will upload my finished screen tonight
thanks

Sorry for the delay in putting the picture up..
Here is my lockscreen after all the above

Very nice. I prefer the 2x2 weather and agenda widgets so I can see more agenda items.. Personal preference, just sharing.
Also - have you had any issues with accidentally opening the shortcuts? I've been using a slider to enable/disable interactions to prevent that

nope, I do carry my phone in my pocket too. I know there is an app called "Call sure" I think... not 100% on the name but basically gives you another prompt to make sure you want to dial someone and should stop pocket dialing

Are you using multi icon widget for the apps? And what does the lock icon do?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

For those icons on the bottom, I use Launch-X Pro
the lock button just locks the phone instead of hitting the power button.

Takes your current weather outside, and basically makes it a live wallpaper. Last night it was raining, and it looked as though it was raining at night in my phone. Also you can set it to play sound (rain drops hitting the ground type of thing)
Today it's cloudy, so when I unlock my phone, it looks like the phone is floating on clouds as though you were in a plane.

I didn't know sense 3 weather or weather wallpaper did that. That's pretty awesome.
Edit: That is the sense 3.0 weather stuff we are talking about right?

Yep that is it, pretty cool stuff..

Does your wallpaper stop after a few seconds? Mine has been doing that since I flashed bamf 2.0-4
Edit: found that it doesn't loop
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

mine is stopping after a cycle as well on 2.04. Can't speak for previous versions, this is first one I've flashed.

I love the effects especially on the lock screen but the temp isnt accurate at all. It was 10 degrees off last night for me.

Anyone know a link to it?

I like the lockscreen weather app. I think the background one is a bit silly with it's sound effects.

My gb weather widget stopped working after a day. I still see the effects after unlocking the phone and it shows under the clock, but i can no longer tap the app and go into it and see all those cool weather graphics. My weather icon also is gone from my app drawer. I was running Bamf 2.0-4 then upgraded 2.0-5 hoping it would fix it. Help please!!!

I started with 2.0-5 and all the weather stuff works. You can't tap the weather on the lock screen to get into the app, but you can tap on the clock/weather widget and it launches. Also has a separate icon in the app tray.
Might want to wipe and reflash. Do it all in recovery, not in rom manager.

Widgets on the lockscreen

Is it possible to change a app icon on the lockscreen to a widget?
more importantly the wifi hotspot settings button.

I think if you include it on the bottom of the 4 places that HTC uses, they should appear on the lockscreen

The lockscreen only shows what app icons are currently in your dock, and since you can't put widgets in your your dock it won't work.
Try widgetlocker app if its something you really need. It's a paid app but worth it, lots of cool options.

Use WidgetLocker from Play market. It might have that feature.

Right now I'm using Notification Toggle from the Play store.. and there are several other apps that do the same thing.. Lets you put many different settings in your notification pull-down which you can access from lock screen

Sense and accuweather

The weather widget on the homescreen with sense keeps telling me incorrect weather conditions.
Like it will show its raining and its not, but when I click into it, it refreshes and then shows the right thing. I have weather to automatically sync and I also have it set to sync everytime the widget is shown.

Mine is also wacky and not very accurate

I have the same problem.I thought i had a bug,but now i know it is not only me who has this problem.Do all people have this problem or only some of us have it?Any way to fix it?

In my opinion it's weird they would release a flagship phone like this with a big ole beautiful widget out in front if the stock Rom and it not function correctly. It annoys me because the sense time/weather widget is beautiful.

I think the widget actually picks up the weather for the city your in, so if your in a big city it might not show every part of the cities weather.

Lock screen location (AccuWeather.com) is wrong

When I turn my phone on, the lock screen default weather location is wrong and it uses AccuWeather.com you can see.
But, when I unlock the phone and go into my weather widget, it is fine. I use HD Widgets and set it to use WeatherBug.
How can I correct the lock screen weather to report my proper location?

I don't believe there is a way to adjust the location on the lockscreen weather. I have the same issue and so I stopped using the Touchwiz weather widget. It kept telling me I was in the "poor part of town" and well, that just wasn't going to work for a snob like me.
Either AccuWeather has incorrect info or your GPS isn't locking in quick enough for when the app checks for location. I suspect it may be the second, as from my experience, sometimes it would be spot on but most of the time wrong. Once I started using widgets that don't use AccuWeather, I noticed I hadn't had any problems though.

I couldn't find a way, so I wonder if there is a ro0t method? Maybe to tell the system to NOT use AccuWeather.com (I have had issues with them in the past in other widgets).
I don't run GPS unless needed. HD widgets finds me fine without GPS but this lock screen default weather app cannot.

I have 2 GS3's both rooted running cleanrom 2.1. One has the correct weather on the lock screen the other does not. I'm thinking more of a hardware problem due to these phones being set up the same.

not sure how hardware could interfere with weather info. Especially when I have no other issues so likely a hardware issue would manifest in some other area - something bigger then this 1 thing.
I am sure root could fix this if you could alter the file used to run that lock screen weather and tell it to use WeatherBug. Just not sure what file that is.

Did you try going to setting/security/lock screen and clicking on weather? Mine was defaulted to never update location so I set it to every hour
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Yes, mine has always been set to 1 hour. The issue is not it updating weather, the issue is it saying I am not where I am at. It is about 40 miles off in a totally different town.

Out of curiousity, when you open Maps, does it give you the correct location?
On my phone, while in the house, it always puts me about three blocks away and then about two - four seconds later, gets me spot on. I assumed it was that delay that was affecting the Touchwiz weather widgets. The few times the stock weather features got my location right I happened to be in different rooms of my house or outside. The SG3 GPS seems to have some issues indoors.
I have noticed that every other weather widget I use displays the correct city right away for me. I switched to using FancyWidget Pro on my homescreen today and I noticed it uses Accuweather and was still correct, but that uses geolocation instead of GPS. I've also had no issues with One More Clock Widget or Simi Clock.
Oddly, aWeather and the stock weather widget and the lockscreen are the ones that give me false locations.
I haven't tried it yet, but I read something where some people were having luck clearning the cache on maps and the weather widget then making sure "verizon location services" isn't checked and it was correcting some location issues. Might be worth a shot.

All I know is I set up mine and the wife's phones the exact same way from a full wipe and hers always gets the weather location wrong for some reason. That's why I believe some hardware might be sub par. I'm at a loss as with this.

I have a similiar thing going on with my Galaxy Tab 10.1. I've done a hard reset back to stock and it will be fine and always have the same city one time, then if I do a hard reset again at another time, it won't get the right city.
I think their software needs some fine tuning.

Maps is perfect for me.
Right now I'm in a different town & the lock screen once again shows me 1 town off. Close but wrong.
HD Widgets... perfect

anyone know which system file controls the use of AccuWeather.com as the lock screen weather company of choice?
anyone?

I too would like to know this, once we know this and a few other pieces of information there might be a chance we could tinker and change the lockscreen weather to use weatherbug or something similar. I bought the 25¢ HD Widgets app today just because it uses weatherbug. And that's the only app that will pull up a weather monitor in my town, aside from WeatherChannel and the local news app, both of which are terrible.

Maddening GPS issues!!
Having similar problem here - but not limited to lockscreen weather. I use the Simi clock+weather widget on my homescreen and though I live in Atlanta it shows me as being in Creedmoor, NC (which I gather is near Raleigh). Also, Foursquare shows me being in Creedmoor on its map, but the check-in locations are in Atlanta and show accurate distances from where I am. Maps works fine and shows my location correctly (more or less). Very frustrating problem. Is it hardware related or software? This all started when I was not having any luck getting a GPS lock and tried various fixes. The lock is there now but the location on some apps is way off.

Just purchased HD widgets, I'll have to check this out.

Guys, those that are having lockscreen weather issues, do you use the default weather widget on your homescreen? The one with clock and weather. I found that if I don't use the weather widget on the home screen then the lockscreen does not update and shows inaccurate info. You have to use it for the lockscreen to work.
I discovered this when I was using beautiful widgets and the lockscreen stopped updating. They both use accuweather but for some reason the widget needs to be active.
Hope this helps some!

On my homescreen I use HD widgets. I have zero intentions of using the stock weather/clock widget just to make the lockscreen weather/location correct. Amazing what we can do to tweak the OS, and yet this cannot be tweaked in a file.
accuweather is the culprit as when I use that in HD widgets it screw up my location, use weatherbug and it is perfect.
EDIT: wait.. I see no "default" system installed weather widget... my only weather widgets are my after-market HD and Beautiful widgets, no such "default weather widget"

HD Widgets gets the correct location for me. The default one from TouchWiz is off by a good distance.

Agreed BUT we are not talking about widgets, we are talking about the fact the lock screen weather is off and it is off as it uses accuweather and you don't seem to have any choice in the matter to pick a different service for the lock screen weather.
