Try NiLS Notification, and you can also layer on NiLS+ (you will need to join the developers Google+ group to get NiLS+ at the moment).
I found that NiLS is the closest thing to offer what iOS does out of a variety of lock screen widgets I have tried that offer that kind of functionality.
Also check out WidgetLocker. Its a little buggy with KitKat at the moment, but I'd expect an update to be coming.
You can add gmail, weather, etc widgets to the stock lockscreen. swipe from left to right.

is there any app that displays notifications such as received sms, missed call etc on the lock screen, as a list or something?

Hmmm... you may be able to use FlyScreen which is a lock screen replacement that supports widgets on the lock screen. IMHO it's a little awkward to use at the moment but I'm sure it will get better.
Assuming you can find a widget to list these things you could put that on the FlyScreen.

those show the unread count on the app icon, not on the lock screen.
i was thinking of something more like what desire roms have as they show some notifications on lockscreen

i tried the widget.
i didnt know about it but thanks for bringing it up cuz its a nice feature to have!
do you know if there is one for the email application as well?
(the one with my exchange account and not gmail)
I am running virtuous 2.0 (sense based) on the inc and find the stock android and sense calendar, mail, messages etc widgets to be either too small to be useful (android) or too big (sense). Any suggestions on where I can get better widgets from? Just moved from an iphone and my ideal widget would be something like lockinfo that u can install from cydia after jailbreaking it. Basically like a landing page which combines weather, calendar, text messages, mail, missed calls, voice mails, tasks, twitter, rss feeds etc in 1 scrollable screen. Then the rest of the home screens can be used for frequently used apps and other widgets.
Finally, how do I get more home screens than just 7. I certainly can use more. With these big widgets, I have to go to the unsorted app folder to find something. Painful.

Well, I figured out at least some of this on my own. For anybody who is in the same position as me, I would recommend Apps Organizer and Multicon. Between them at least I can squeeze in more apps into the home screens. Still not able to find any info on how to get more home screens than 7 though...

I'm not entirely sure you can get more than 7. All the launchers, themes i've seen use 3,5, or 7 screens

Thanks. That's what i am finding too. Perhaps one of the custom roms can incorporate user set number of home screens?
I just want to look at my locked Galaxy tab and see my up coming appointments and maybe the last couple unread email..
What is the best app for that?
I tried the free executive assistant but it couldn't configure it so that it just displayed those two things. I got it so I could use it's widgets and select calendar and display that way but that is more than I want to do... I just want to look and see those two items.
Widget Locker
For free: none. A lot of them lag like hell.
If you are willing to pay: Widget Locker. Perhaps the only great and beyond decent locking app out there. Moreover, it's made by a fellow xda member!
Widget Locker to actually get the widgets on your lock screen, then the paid Exec. Assistant, or Colorize Widgets would work well for your needs.
As for a calender app? A few days ago, Business Calendar was on the Amazon App Store for free, and it has a really nice widget.

I use google hangout a lot. But only SMS shows up on lock screen, not hangout. Any mods to make that possible?? Preferably not a replacement lock screen unless its as nice as the original. Thanks

Personally I haven't tinkered around with the lockscreen, but is it not possible to add shortcuts in CM11s?
I'm not looking for shortcuts. I want to be able to preview the hangout messages in the lock screen as of they were sms
Morning all,
Is there a way to get app icons on the lock screen such as short cuts for Facebook instagram etc.. Have had a look in the settings but can't find anything also using nova launcher but don't see anything in there either any help would be great. Thanks
There are lots of lockscreen apps on the Play Store that do this. Like this one for example...

Or I think one's like this might just add it your current lockscreen too.
