[Q] Lockscreen Widgets - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have read several articles online saying the Droid Razr HD has options to edit the lockscreen after the update to 4.1. I can't seem to get to these settings am I missing something? For example I have found in several places to follow these steps:
To customize your lock screen, go into Settings, tap on Security, then tap on Lock screen options. From here, you'll be able to set up Shortcuts.
In the attached pictures you will see I don't have this option to select. I know I could use widget locker and actually I have tried it but I cant configure one set of media buttons to work with Google Play, Pandora and my podcast player Doggcatcher even when using Tasker. Can anyone tell me if I am wrong or why I keep finding articles saying I can edit the lock screen in 4.1?
I have a rooted Droid Razr Maxx HD I bought from Verizon running the 4.1 OTA update. I do have somethings frozen with Titanium Backup but I don't think anything I have frozen would affect this setting.
Below are two of the sites that lead me to think I could do this.

Lockscreen widgets are a feature from 4.2 which isn't available on the RAZR HD or DROID RAZR HD. You could try widgetlocker or another lockscreen replacement

Thats right, i'm using Widgetlocker, to make "different" the lockscreen, it a really cool app the detail is that when you put a code to you phone you have to unlocked twice 1 for widgetlocker and 1 for the phone

Americans felt the need to rebrand the phone as DROID RAZR. Also its XT926 instead of XT925 but that's CDMA vs GSM/UMTS/wtvr

Atrix 2 ICS and MotoBlur (Urget Help Required)

Hi all, I was very much surprised to see ICS update on my Atrix 2 in India. Motorola has really done a decent Job on ICS for Atrix 2. Surprise apps like Smart action and beautiful and simple UI.
But I am missing MotoBlur 2.3 UL and Blur Social Netwroking app and Universal Message app. Can can one Rip these apps from 2.3.6 and post here.. Also Weather app.. Thanks in advance
I don't think it's possible to port them, and if it was there is no space left in system partition

Sorry guys, you can't run a 2.3.6 apk on ICS.
And please from now on, post questions in the Q&A forum.

The app "Executive Assistant" is a great way to get all of your email & social apps into one widget if that's what you're looking for. Though I don't use it anymore, it served its purpose well when I was addicted to caring about all that useless crap.
If universal messaging app isn't available on ICS, I am never going to upgrade to it. I use 3-4 email accounts and like to have them all available in one place.
No Universal Messaging app

There is no Universal messaging app, no MotoBlur, No MotoBlur widgets. ICS on Atrix is very simple. Moto Didn't do any tweaks in the UI. Also there is no connected Music player which would sync lyrics automatically. Music player is also very bland..

really looks impressive, has every option that the music player in 2.3.6 had and even few more goodies, give it a try.
Player pro is worth paying for too.

Hi can anyone confirm the following things about atrix 2 on ICS:
1. Does your phone auto rotate to landscape in the app menu as before? My phone auto rotates only in the settings menu,youtube & browser.
2. How do i view all home screens at once? Tapping home button on home screen does not display all the home screens at once (unlike in gb).

I believe these are all launcher-specific options, which may not be part of Holo HD. Since I use Novalauncher Prime, it does in fact rotate the app drawer, and double-tap of home brings up desktop previews. Check your launcher settings and verify these options may or may not exist.
Bottom line, not an OS issue, its a launcher issue.
I am on stock ics launcher. I wanted to clarify these 2 points before trying out nova/holo.

I expected a post about a bricked phone... or a soft bricked phone or something.
But instead this person wants MotoBlur back on ICS and wants it back "urgently". Oh the humanity...
Porting is posssible I think..

I have ripped MotoNav (Network independent GPS) from Milestone XT720 (2.1) and installed in Atrix. It is working very fine except the resolution. I think, 2.3 apps from atrix will work on ICS. I will work on it if I get a phone with 2.3.6 Shortly, I will get Atrix 2 running on 2.3 (My cousin is using it) Will try to extract and install my Atrix ICS

Thanks, looks really great on the One S. Could you upload the launcher .apk? Don't want to register there, and only have mobile internet, but want to know if it can be installed on AOSP.

Jellybean full of stutters for me.

Even Google now scrolling between cards is stuttering. Droid-Life.com stutters, sipping between home screens or to quick sins page is also stuttering. I thought project butter was supposed to make this phone buttery smooth.

I would sbf then try again. Jb works great for me.you're the first saying it has stuttering problems.

Try a factory reset first

Quick Settings and Manage Pages definitely still stutter as they did in ICS. It's a moto thing, other launchers are smooth.
Everything else seems to be very smooth, for me at least. Is anyone not having those same stutters in the moto launcher?

Definitely more stutters than there should be on this phone, not sure what's up. Kind of thinking I shoulda got the s3. Usually just on the home screen but sometimes other places too.

Every time there is a major software version release, I completely wipe my phone to factory defaults & wipe the cache partition.
That way you can at least rule out a "faulty" upgrade.
This phone really should not have any stutter or lag on JB...
Where is project butter in this upgrade?
Sent from my XT925 using xda app-developers app
My phone was generally wonky and had plenty of stutters after the JB OTA. I held off for a while but finally did a factory reset last week and it made a HUGE difference. I also use Apex rather than the stock launcher and froze a bunch of bloat.
Sent from my Razr HD Maxx
Stock launcher is worst launcher i have seen in a while. Circle widget and Side settings page is awesome ... but what the benefit if it lags as hell!.. JB update on this phone is a fail. Not sure how it helped us to get better performance.
Google now and the launcher are the main problem...generally speaking, most other programs and animations are *usually* OK. Every once in a while animations stutter for some unknown reason, but is not common. That being said, I don't really see the effects of project butter. Coming from a windows phone, this is not as smooth. I do still love my new phone for other reasons, though.
And if Google and Motorola can't push out an update without users having to factory reset, there is a problem. From a consumer standpoint, factory resets are a huge hassle and commitment of time...it shouldn't be necessary.
Sent from my A500 using xda app-developers app
I think the poster before me is correct about the stock launcher and Google Now. In addition to using the Apex launcher I have GNow disabled. I can feel the Project Butter after being stuck on Gingerbread on my old Thunderbolt then starting out with ICS on my Maxx HD.
As far as people having to factory reset after the JB OTA I don't think that's been the case for everyone. It made a big difference for me, but I agree that I should not have needed to do it at all.

Guys, even after a hard reset, stuttering still present for me... Will at least RSD lite flashing help in getting my device to work as it should?
I am on 4.1.2 JB O2 Germany stock ROM.
Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2
Update - flashed again, using RSD lite, and still stuttering... Will do it again, with another ROM. Any differences between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 versions of JB?
RAZR HD via Tapatalk 2
This is very strange, mironiko - can you take a video to show us the stutters please? Interested to see on which actions it is stuttering the most.
Don't have a device to make the video... For instance, it stutters in Facebook, during usual scrolling, in Tapatalk, even in Gtalk or other system apps - animations are rather choppy, and I can't really see the Project Butter effect here...
Thinking of flashing Telstra ROM or some other, but don't know if it is gonna make things better... I don't see a reason for O2 Germany ROM not to work as good as the others, or even better, being 4.1.2.
May some app be causing that?
Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2
Ah, I've read quite a few times that Google Currents on the Nexus 7 was causing stuttering if background sync is enabled - do you use this application?
No. Not even Google now. When it comes to Google apps, I only have Gmail, Gtalk, Search, Maps, Street view and Earth.
I really don't know what to do. I'll hate myself if I do a new flash (Telstra ROM, for instance) and a hard reset, and it doesn't help...

I would assume everyone has stutters but some noticemore than others.
It is not due to specific apps, it is just apparently poor coding on Motorola behalf, which is a shame I otherwise love the phone.

I agree with this. I posted on the official Motorola forum and eventually got someone in charge to recognize what we have been talking about, so maybe we will see a fix at some point. Hopefully before I move on to the Motorola X

RAZR Maxx HD laggy after installing a lot of apps

My RAZR maxx HD has started to lag a bit after I installed around 87 apps, is that a lot of apps for the phone, should I delete some? Why would the number of apps on my phone make the RAZR lag if those apps are not running. I've only had this phone for 2 days now.
Sent from my DROID RAZR Maxx HD using Tapatalk 2
Of course I can't say if this the case for you but I think often when people experience lag its related to widgets. Try removing widgets temporarily to see if it does a difference.
The number of apps should not induce lag.

Circles Widget

With KitKat coming to the Droid line do you guys think there is a way to get the widget to work on the X? I heard it was able to work before when on 4.2.2 via apk/ launcher. Really like this widget truly a shame it didn't come to the moto X. I have already tried other circle clock widgets from the play store but none seem to work well with KITKAT, I would get the force close all to often. Thanks for any help in advance.

You could use something like UCCW to create a widget. I am 99% sure that someone has probably created a UCCW theme that looks similar already.

You need to extract the Motorola launcher and circles and weather app and use as your standard launcher...Unfortunately the Motorola launcher doesn't support transparent status/notification bars atm
