Found this widget for my lockscreen. There is a free version in the market.
Shows you weather and even upcoming appointments.
Beautiful! !!

Maybe I should explain how you can get this as your standard lockscreen widget so you see it when you push the power button.
Enable multiple widgets in lockscreen options. Now go to your lockscreen, hold the clock and swipe to the right. You will see a plus sign there. Add the chronus widget. Tap this widget and hold it. Swipe it to the right of the standard clock. Now it will be your standard lockscreen widget.

I would like to use this widget... I was using it on m Galaxy S3 with a custom rom... I even bought the "pro" version...
but sadly, Samsung has made a choice to disable all widgets when you have some type of lockscreen security.
I can not remove the security because it's mandatory when you have a VPN configured (I have one to connect to my home or work network).

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
http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.koxx.forecast_weather.v2
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.
Is there a way to create an icon on my home screen, that when tapped, would act as a shortcut and open up a widget, such as a calendar widget?

Like what widget? You can add a widget to your homescreen by long press on the home screen. The menu will pop up and you can select from the widgets you have... you can also create a shortcut to any app by the same long press and selecting shortcuts...

If you're opening up something its an activity/app not a widget. You don't open a widget a widget opens an app.
I think OP is talking about having a shortcut that applies a widget to the home screen. I find that this would be useful if you say had a backup of your homescreen. Whenever I load a backup of a homescreen configuration I had, the widgets would always say "problem loading widget." The backup only restores shortcuts and placements. So this would save you from having to delete and readd widgets.
I have 2 suggestions.
Power Strip
https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.intuitit.android.p.powerstrip&feature=search_result
or Quickdesk Beta/Pro
https://market.android.com/details?id=sg.ruqqq.quickdesk&feature=search_result
I use them both. here's a brief run down of how they each work
Power strip - it's a bar along the bottom of the screen with buttons for access to all your installed applications, shortcuts, widgets and whatever else you can figure out to put in it. i LOVE IT. It's 2 bux, but WELL worth the cost IMO. you can assign it to your home button or the hold search key (i use the home button for quick and easy access) but you can stuff as many widgets in there are you want and THEN SOME.. it's awesome! PLUS.. you can set it up to launch in ANY APP. say you're in maps.. but o snaps.. you forgot to turn on the wifi.. hold search and up comes powerstrip without even leaving maps.. you have your settings widget on the bar.. open it up.. tap the wifi button. slap the back key to exit powerstrip and voila.
Quickdesk - think if it as ONE of the panels from you homescreen. It's just one page that you can put widgets on.. on shortcoming... no scrolling widgets with this one. but likewise it can be accessed anywhere without leaving whatver app you're in.
These are both GREAT choices and i use them both... powerstrip is DEFINITELY the more flexible of the two though.

Ok just to confirm, a lot Widgets CANNOT be activated without being as widgets on the main screen. However, in launcher pro (not sure about other launchers), if you hard press and select "shortcuts">"application" then select the widgets (if u see any) that u like. It will also give u an option to customize the icon of your choice. This is one way to activate a widget by simply clicking the icon. Hope I helped.

Title says it all... Basically, I want to remove/disable lockscreen widgets, (which is an option in many ROMS), however use a custom widget (instead of the standard clock)... get it?
I tried replacing the standard widget, then disable all widgets... however, unfortunately that brings backs the main clock lockscreen widget.
Anyway

Dont disable lockscreen widgets. Just add your custom widget and delete the page with stock widget , thats it

With cataclysm ROM, you can make it so that there's only 1 widget on the luck screen

Edit: nvm gravitybox removed this feature a short time ago
I was wondering the same thing
I have gone into security settings and enabled lock screen widgets. This allows me to add DashClock widget to the lockscreen, however, I am unable to remove the default weather/clock widget from the lock screen. "Remove" is greyed out and the only option when you grab it is to "edit" it. DashClock works fine and I can remove it like normal.
This wouldn't be too big of a deal but it won't let me move the default to a different screen, its locked to page one so to get to DashClock I have to swipe.. Well, if I have to swipe its pretty pointless to have lockscreen widgets, I can just swipe to unlock the phone and have my widget on my homescreen.
I was able to take some screenshots to demonstrate what I'm talking about - I'm "new" so I can't post the link but try this: imgur.com/a/oCfVt
I was unable to find a way myself. I've been using this lock screen app instead https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slidelock
Really nice. Lots off features.

Has anyone found a solution to this?
Only way to do is ..
The only way to hide/disable the stock HTC weather/clock widget is if you have rooted devices with installed Xposed Framework. There is a module called "Sense 6 Lockscreen Modes" where you have an option to remove/hide the widget, in that way being able to have any other widget on your main lockscreen !
I researched about this a lot, and the most covenantway to disable/hide the widget was to apply this module, plus you can have it back any time you want, just by disabling that module!
How can I add an app to my lockscreen ?? I see there are four spots but one is empty. Id like to add sms app shortcut so I can swipe right to it...
The dock on the Blinkfeed launcher is also your lockscreen icons.
