adjust bightness in lockscreen, custom notifactions window

Hi all,
I've got 2 questions:
1. I was wondering if it would be possible to have some sort of widget that allows me to change my brightness in the lock screen.
2. Is there some sort of mod for the notification window? I would like to have the "quick settings + some other functionality in the first window when I drag it down.
Thanks!
Jason.

Well lock screen brightness would be the same as your home screen brightness.
(not too positive if that's what you mean) you can adjust that in menu/settings/display
As for your quick settings being something different. That is definitely a suggestion to bring up as I have never seen that done differently besides a EQS.
Maybe a Twitter feed? Or something? Conversations? Hmmm

1. Get Widgetlocker app on the market and add whatever brightness widget you would like to the lockscreen.
2. CM7 and MIUI both let you customize the quick settings shortcuts on the notification bar.

You can also use a tweaks option on any sense ROM although you will find most have it anyway (custom roms)

can you elaborate? Tweaks like what?
@OP.. Sense Lock screen cant be changed. U can use brightness changing application in Sense Lock screen shortcuts but that will still unlock screen after opening application..
Second option as 2nd post says to use WidgetLocker application but for that u have to sacrifice Sense Lock screen...

Let me clarify myself further:
I would like to keep the htc sense lockscreen as it is but also include the option to adjust brightness.
As for the notifications:
the samsung galaxy s2 shows quick settings in the first window when dragged down, I would like to have something similar and maybe increase the number of options displayed. For all I care the recent applications in this window can go out of the window for this since I always use the home button to switch between applications.

Thanks all,
@ags29:
I assume that's just an application I have to install?
@rddocke:
I would look into those mods
Thanks again!

[Q] Most widgets not available for lock screen (KitKat 4.4)?

I hope I'm just doing something stupid ...
I can't add most widgets I've downloaded to my lock screen on my Nexus 5 ... though they all work fine adding to my home screen. Only a few (like Android Weather) are available when hit the "plus" on a blank lockscreen.
All I want is a brightness widget that can make the display bright so I can properly put in my password in bright sunlight (I never set my brightness to auto, it's too annoying for me).
ie. Power Widget lite would be perfect for my needs!
Any one having the same problem? Any ideas?

I have the same problem. Wanted to add some beautiful clock widget to homescreen (don't remember exactly which one), downloaded, installed, went to add to homescreen - no luck.

Why can't you get something like power toggles. Then you could pull down notification bar on lockscreen and toggle brightness to what you wanted. An extra step I know

I can add everything I've downloaded add to homescreen. But almost none can be added to my lockscreens. That's my problem.

Very cool app, thanks for pointing it out. But ... I can't pull down the notification bar when the phone is locked ... how are you able to?

you add widgets on your lockscreen by enabling them in security. there's a checkbox that says "enable widgets"

Yep, did that. The thing is only SOME can be added. Very few that I've downloaded (even though they all seem to work on home screens).

Wow AWESOME app! That's exactly what I need! I was looking for a bunch of widgets on one row, which the lockscreen doesn't even seem to allow, but this widget already let me configure everything I needed in one row of buttons.
It turns out that THIS widget CAN be placed on the lockscreen (I'm not talking about the one visible in the notification bar, I can only access that when the phone's already unlocked).
BUT ... I still want to know why most widgets can't get placed on the lockscreen to begin with. Are they not Android 4.4-lockscreen-compatible yet?

The widgets have to be enabled to work on the lock screen by the developer.

Aha! Didn't expect that widgets needed special lock screen support.
So there's home screen widgets, lock screen widgets, notification bar widgets, ... I wonder what other classes of apps I'm missing - widget widgets? It would be nice if Google Play Store could search based on widget class.

[Q] Any way to remove the default lock screen widget?

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.

subbed for answer

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!

[Q] Changing the weather app on the Lock Screen

I have just installed the Android 4.4.2 KitKat Resurrection Remix rom.
All working just fine, still getting used to it.
One question?
Only two options of weather apps available for the Lock Screen.
Yahoo and openweathermap
I would like to use the BBC weather map if possible.
Question is it possible and if so how do I show it.
Cheers

its possible i think install the app and use widget

I have the BBC app / widget on but cannot find any way to add it to the lock screen.
The option to customise lock screen weather gives only the two options I mentioned above.
Update
I found the way to add the weather widget to a side screen from the lock screen but that is not actually what I wanted.

You need to set "Custom widgets" on lockscreen. Then you long press on the actual widget and delete it. Then you can add your preferred widget.

Thanks for that.
Tried your suggestion and although I have the Custom Widget turned on I am unable to get the option to remove the weather from the lock screen.
I can with this Rom, de-select the weather widget on lock screen in settings to remove it.
Still no way to add my own selection to lock screen.
I can add a new screen to the side of the lock screen but that's not what I wanted.

That did the trick although it doesn't look very good due to the length of our village name.
But it works a treat otherwise.
Much appreciated :good:

More than one widgets lockscreen ?

It's possible to add 2 or more widgets on one page of lockscreen ?
are any app or xposed hack to do that on stock rom ?
Thanks ?

Two different widgets on one panel without having to scroll to the next one? No, not for stock lock screen. Not sure about Xposed, but I'm pretty sure there's not. Not unless Gravity Box maybe, but I don't use it so I can't say for sure. You could always try downloading an alternate lock screen app from play store.

Currently there's nothing like this for the stock lock screen. But you can use 3rd party apps like widget locker to get it.
