I was wondering if it's possible to take some of the widgets from stock S4 and have them in Google Edition.
Things like the "Assistive Light" 2x1 button widget would be nice in Nexus (Style).
Also the Google Edition "Power control" widget is asthetically pleasing but lacking in functionality only containing [Wifi/Bluetooth/GPS/Sync/Brightness].
It'd be nice to have the optiont to toggle mobile data easily from a Nexus (Style) widget as well other S4 unique features such as NFC, IRBlaster, and etc.
Any one feel the same, or has even achieved what I seek?
Thanks in advance.

After playing with the Sensation and Sense for a couple days now? The ability to run weather on my lockscreen has literally just blown me away. I don't really care about the prettiest app to do it but in your experience? What's the most reliable lockscreen weather app?
Widgetlocker + your favorite Weather widget
I use WidgetLocker and add Fancy Widgets and/or Beautiful Widgets. Love the options available between those.
Thanks for the suggestions. I've been playing with both for the last couple days. Anything else that puts the weather on the lockscreen?
I like GOTO lockscreen. It's visually impressive (though weather is certainly not the focus of it's visuals and is only a small part) and has practical uses like quickly jumping to phone, SMS, gmail, being able to set phone silent or vibrate, and music lockscreen controls (though this only works with stock music players), weather, battery, phone owner's name on lockscreen.

Still not satisfied with all of these choices. Anything else out there?
I use go laucher and go weather, but widget weather of HTC is the one!
is there a way to turn off the animation that comes on after the unlock of a phone?

Those look great, thanks!
I just released my second Android app, Fast Notes. It's yet another sticky note widget, but focuses on a slick, easy-to-use interface for quickly adding your notes. It also includes some extra features, such as checklists and changing widget colour based on proximity to due date, that I haven't really found in any other widgets on the market.
I started writing this app because I couldn't find anything on the market that suited my needs. Some of the widgets didn't have the features I wanted (namely, a checklist and a spot to write additional notes), while others were cluttered and adding notes was difficult.
This widget is ad-supported, but users can opt out in the settings because I know how much some of you hate ads!
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Tell me what you think and how I can improve this app!
Download from the market.
Great, exactly what I was looking for: a simple widget for the home screen!
Thanks
Cool
Cool + 5
Awesome App!
Great job on FastNotes!
I like the list feature and the thin line that crosses items off my list without deleting them.
Colors are cool; just changed them to match my Christmas Wallpaper
Is there a way to send my FastNotes note to my e-mail?
I have the horrifically performing HTC One X and on the recommendation of some XDAers I have grabbed Apex launcher. I quite like it, but it appears to be lacking some widgets. Power control from sense I really like, which has wifi/brightness/gps/update on it. Also the clock which shows the date and location on there although that isn't really needed. Then it has ringtone toggle which goes between sound/silent/vibrate. I really do use that quite a lot.
Anyone know of any widget packs which have a wide variety of widgets? I have tried beautiful widgets, don't much like it and doesn't have any toggles, HD widgets doesn't have many and the clocks are crap.
Currently I'm using Elixr
New to Android. Loved having essentially what I call 'collapsible widgets' on my old iPhone 4 on the lockscreen (jailbreak.) Essentially when text messages, emails, calendar event reminders, or even SportCenter updates came in, they would show up in a widget on the lockscreen (ala Intelliscreen X app) and you could do an action (like delete/clear the notification), or you could collapse the widget so that there was just a header like 'SMS Messages (3)' with 3 being the number of unread and you could uncollapse it to see the messages. The widgets would just always stack up together. If they didn't all fit, you could scroll down to see them. If all the info in a particular widget that was open didn't fit in the widget's window, you could scroll down to see the rest of the info. All this was done on the lockscreen.
Granted, I didn't have any sensitive information to worry about people seeing. But you could choose, just like Android what shows up and what doesn't.
In running Jelly Bean 4.1 with Sense+ (4.5) on the HTC One X+, I found I had to install WidgetLock to get control of the widgets on the lockscreen. I'm using Pure Calander Widget Agenda and the widget stays the same size no matter if there are no events listed or 20 events. Sort of a waste of lockscreen space.
Is collapsible and/or scrolling widgets just something that is extremely rare for some reason? It looks like maybe the stock Sense 'Productivity' Lock Screen Theme sort of does this (from looking at it - but I've been using WidgetLock from the beginning). The problem with the HTC Sense is the configurability of the lockscreen isn't as flexible as I would like. I wish I could control which apps are in the dock on the lockscreen and how many there are (add app icons to lock screen) and how transparent the widget showing the info is. I hate the big clock too but want the productivity widget (the clock is always on the right in the notification bar - no need to waste space redisplaying it larger - my eyes are fine!)
Also, on Jelly Bean 4.2, I think I read you can add widgets to the lock screen. So does JB 4.2 essentially defeat the purpose of Widget Lock. I love that Widget Lock lets you go from a 4x4 grid to 5x6 (or whatever you want) so I can have 6 docked apps on the lockscreen and there isn't such big spaces between everything. I hope so as I can see the HTC Sense lockscreen sometimes come on for a moment before it gets replaced by Widget Lock. Makes me feel like I have a bit of a hokey setup to get what I want.
iOS had this same issue. But in 5 they greatly improved the lockscreen functionality. Then iOS finally introduced repeating notification settings. That's the next thing Android needs. But that's another subject. Still love JB 4.1. Does the job. Nothing's perfect.
Yes HTC does not allow you to change it's lockscreen. Much like on an iPhone, you would need to root and install custom apps (or apps like widgetlocker) to get the functionality you are looking for.
That said, this is the General forum for the HTC One XL. You would be looking for Q&A and also the OneX+ forums here

It's amazing that I have Android now almost four years, and when I read you, I feel like a complete outsider.
ll Get to the point.
Phone: HTC One X
Android 4.1.1
HTC SENSE: 4 +
Root: No, and I'm not interested
Launcher: Nova
What am I looking for: Google Play Apps
Icons
After several months of boredom and disappointment Android, I decided to infuse a new spirit into him, with Nova upgraded icons and some liken it to the fashion of iOS, but better iOS, Android as it approves. I threw new icons pack called MIRO EX and they present themselves as follows (attachment 1)
According to my untutored eye, it's really cool-looking, but I'm open to suggestions of other icons (the more so that, for example, or Wordpress Endomondo completely here does not look great). They can be round, square, I leave here you a complete freedom of choice. It is important for me is only possible to keep the original appearance of the icons of business, or to look like Spotify, Facebook with those characteristic elements likef M of Gmail but do not want to set, for example, where all the icons are silver
clock
I'm interested in a cool clock widget, modern and light. I do not want a typical HTC sheets rewinding digits, or a round of kitsch, but modern, white, light font, it can be a weather or cus, but the clock itself is most important.
widgets
Without the above clock, I'm using only two widgets. They are: Spotify and energy management. Is there a tool that allows you to rearrange the widgets in a little less wet behind the ears? As you can see I'm trying to make your Android affordable and reasonably lightweight (I do not know if I manage it, a subjective matter), and these two black widgets I would gladly have changed into something clear ...
The lockscreen
Sometimes I see screenshots of people with androids in the network and smoke with envy, these are such beautiful pictures lock! And in my standard, ugly ring and is still the standard icons. Can it replace for something affordable? If so, how is this type of application is called and that you recommend? (attachement 2)
I didn't read all of this. But you should give uccw a go, for clocks etc.
And also, widget locker. Gives you the best customisation withoit rooting.
There are also lots of nice transparent widgets, I suggest thinking of what you want the widget to do first, then try and find a nice looking one. But pure calender (music etc) are quite nice. And simple rss widget is nice too. But the best thing to do, as I said, is to search for transparent or something.
