[Q] Access different lockscreen widgets - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on omnirom and it uses the standard aosp lockscreen. Is there a way to access more kinds of widgets? I want to use the google music widget on there, but it's not coming up on the lockscreen widget pick list. Is there a way to unlock more widgets?

[Q] Fancy Widget & Beautiful Widgets

OK, where to start. I've been searching forums and the internet in general trying to find a way to mix and match Fancy widget & Beautiful Widgets to get the desired effect I'm looking for.
I've been trying endlessly to find a way to get Fancy widget to open up Beautiful Widgets Forecast when I touch the weather icon and there seems to be no easy way to do this (if it can be done at all).
Now, I must say I have tried Fancy Widget, Beautiful Widgets and Weather & Toggle Widget and so far I love the look of Fancy Widget, love the look of Beautiful Widgets Forecast and didn't like Weather & Toggle Widget at all.
I have noticed that the Forecast app/add-on does appear in my Recent apps when I long press Home; so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me figure out a way to get Fancy Widget to see it as an app when choosing an app to open when touching the weather icon.
Also, Beautiful Widgets by default brings up the Alarms section of the Clock app but I can only get Fancy Widget to bring up the Clock app instead of directly bringing up the Alarms section. If anyone knows a way to achieve this also, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Lockscreen Weather?

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?

[Q]Weather Lock Screen

I was wondering if there is a way to put the weather on the lockscreen for the SK4G, my wife is jealous of the lockscreen from my HTC Sensation. I know the sense roms have the nice looking weather, and I've found stuff like WidgetLocker and Agile Lock that allow a widget on the lock screen, but was hoping for more like the sense screen. Anyone have a clue how to do that?
That would require having an entirely working AOSP style screen to be able to apply widgetlocker widgets without lockups and random failures, and then finding a similar to sense weather widget.
Use widget locker, beautiful widgets and a sense themed lock from the widget locker themes thread

[Q] Removing widget size options for Beautiful Widgets

Is there any way to reduce the amount of Beautiful Widgets widget size options (e.g. 4x2, 4x4, etc.) from the widget list? Is it possible from the Beautiful Widgets settings menu (which would be preferred), or do I need to do it through a different method?
Note that I'm not on a rooted phone. Thanks for any help.
Not just with Beautiful Widgets, but with all other apps too. Some apps have this option, but they are few...
It's hard to scroll over lots of unused widgets on ICS.
There has to be some way to do it through the Beautiful Widgets settings, no? I mean it adds like 14 widget choices to the list, surely such a popular app would have the option to remove some of them?

(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.
