No lockscreen widgets on S5? - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just read that you can't have lockscreen widgets.. is this true?!

Oh jeez....
I use the text and camera lock screen widget all the time!

Out of the box, apparently this silly limitation is true. But remember that it only remains true if you choose to keep the S5 running a virgin, nonrooted Samsung stock ROM.

Not sure why this was changed. A good alternative for me has been Widget Locker from Google Play store. Hope this helps.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy II widgets????

hi can anybody post Samsung Galaxy II widgets including
Weather widget, music application and all other goodies.................
touchwiz launcher does not have option to change dockbar icons as Launcher pro does
so plz tell to set same 4 icons in dockbar (phone, contact, message, application) in touchwiz launcher have.
Are you rooted? If so you can download sgs tools (search apk on Google not in market anymore) and upgrade to gtglauncher there is a five icon dock( changeable) , its faster, and looks a lot better. There is also an app in the market called Galaxy S Music Widget which is a customized stock music widget working for the touchwiz player. For weather clocks you can download all the widgets on the LG optimus (g2x) that work on galaxy s phones (I know it works for the vibrant don't know about others) remember to hit the thanks button
Edit: I think supercurio has a system dump of the sgs2 and so does s vibrant which goes by the user name madguitarist (or something like that) I also don't think either system have touchwiz 4. 0 sorry: /

(Q) - Lockscreen widgets. How?

Hey guys, iam no novice to Android, did a ton of modding/theming/flashing on my MDK s4, and my s3 before that. But for some reason I can't put my own widgets on the lockscreen.
Yes, in security settings I have multiple widgets enabled. But for some reason I can't remove the stock widget and add my own. It's super frustrating. Normally I use Apex launcher but iam sticking with blinkfeed for the moment. So so I need to use a different launcher to get my own widgets? Or is there some other trick? All I want is to use dash clock as my lock screen widget, then poweramp and my news apps to the right. Thanks.

I know the one version of the s5 had theming options

When I still used the s4 I tried a port of an s5 launcher which had the option of themes
Has that been removed for sprint or am I just sucking terribly at navigating through this new phone?
The only part of TW that you csn change the Color yourself is in any Folders you may have on your home screens. Def nothing like What is in HTC Sense 6

I wish the messaging app could have a black background in the main screen (where all convos are). Is that possible does anyone know? I heard the international version has that option.

Lock screen icons notifications

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...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.next
Or I think one's like this might just add it your current lockscreen too.

Weather on Lockscreen

I am trying to get the weather to display on my lock screen. It says "To view weather information on the lock screen, add the Samsung Weather widget to the home screen." I cant find this. Can someone explain how to get the weather on my lockscreen please?

I use Nova Launcher and find the Samsung weather widget doesn't show up there. If you switch to TouchWiz your can find the widget and add it there, then it will show up on the lock screen. I'm not sure if it will update properly though, I never see it because I forget to swipe over to it. Seems to me it might not be updating once you go back to Nova.

Nope, it's just called Weather.

Mine works. Nothing special, just weather as well.
I'm on Verizon with my S8+. Did they disable this setting because I can't add weather to my lock screen.

Yes mine is a Verizon S8+, and I am on Tmobile, but I flashed the Canadian firmware on it
I am also unable to add this. Was anyone able to add theirs?
I use the elecont weather app: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058EBNAO/ref=mas_ya_dp
Shows two rows on the lock screen with one row for this weeks' daily weather and the second row for next week. I didn't do anything odd just set up the nav bar display on pull down to show the same thing.
I'm using Nova Launcher.
I have the unlocked US version and the option to add the weather to the lock screen is not there, same as the Verizon users.
If anyone that has this option for having weather on the lockscreen and is rooted, is there a possibility that I could get a copy of your csc_features.xml. I am seeing if I can get this feature added to the US variants. Thanks in advance.
