S7 Edge Marshmallow custom Lockscreen widgets - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

So I can't seem to find anywhere if there's a way to put custom notifications on the lockscreen. I just switched from S5 on KitKat to the S7 Edge on MM and I'm trying to set it up to my liking, but it seems like so many things are missing from it.
I don't like the Good Lock app it looks bad to me. I had Chronus widgets setup on my lockscreen and I like to scroll to access more widgets as well. I think there was a tweak from Xposed to enable that on the S5 and then the setting was available in the Lockscreen settings, however now I can't find a way.
Is MM that locked down? Is there any way to get custom widgets on the Lockscreen at all??

You are going to try some 3rd party lockscreen apps. For example C Locker or WidgetLocker.

(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.

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.

Lockscreen widgets

I thought I would share these that I found in the S5 forums and tested on my phone. Lockscreen widgets were some of my favorite features and I was sad to see them go. These two modules allow you to put widgets on your lockscreen again. The first one allows widgets on the lockscreen if you don't use security abs the second one needs to be installed on top of the other and is only needed if you use some type of security.

How to edit lock screen

Im wanting to edit my lockscreen kind of like we already edit our homescreen. In particular im looking to get my agenda and a snapshot of the weather on the lockscreen. Is this possible? If so how, oh and im not looking to use a launcher as i like the layout and feel of touch wiz. Thanks
You can't without root. Some manufacturers (e.g. HTC) will have weather info etc. on their lock screens natively, but Samsung doesn't unfortunately.
Well thats stupid! Okay option two/three. Any good lockscreen apps that replace existing lockscreen that dont lag? Or any launchers that sill allow me to keep my own theme and app style and layout but allow me to customize the lockscreen?

I don't know of any lock screen apps off the top of my head because I never use any, but I know they're on the Play Store, so just do a search and see which one would probably fit your needs. Also, the launcher and lock screen are two different things, so installing a custom launcher just affects the home screen and app drawer.

I tried that, and its giving me loads of issues any other suggestions? Thanks
I always used AcDisplay on my past android phones. I haven't set it up on my S7, so I don't honestly recall all the features, but I always liked it so that's a good place to start.
May just be for notifications but I really can't remember.
Try hi locker it uses the fingerprint scanner has good media and notifications has calendar and weather as well

Lockscreen & Homescreen

Hey guys. I want to set a different lockscreen but I don't see any option for doing such. The lockscreen always remains the same as the homescreen. I would like to set adifferent picture as my lockscreen. Can you suggest any ways to this? I have root access on my Moto G3
Are you running a CM based rom? Also in the latest version of Google Now Launcher you can change it

i suppose what you are saying is about..
Keeping Two different wallpapers for LOCKSCREEN and HOMESCREEN ( like lumia, Mi devices) isnt it??
IF yes, do one thing.. install a LOCKSCREEN from playstore.. give it notification access and device permissions so that it can work as your Default Lock screen, and Disable real lockscreen present on your phone..
if the lockscreen allows you to keep wallpaper, then keep it ..
