Try NiLS Notification, and you can also layer on NiLS+ (you will need to join the developers Google+ group to get NiLS+ at the moment).
I found that NiLS is the closest thing to offer what iOS does out of a variety of lock screen widgets I have tried that offer that kind of functionality.

Also check out WidgetLocker. Its a little buggy with KitKat at the moment, but I'd expect an update to be coming.

You can add gmail, weather, etc widgets to the stock lockscreen. swipe from left to right.

[Q] Detailed lockscreen notifitcations

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to have the Dashclock widget (or something similar) on the lockscreen with details visible while still having the unlock icon ready to unlock the device. I'll elaborate a little just in case the previous doesn't make much sense...
So I'm currently running CM 11 on my N5 and under Settings>Lock screen there's an option called "Maximize widgets" which expands your lockscreen widgets but minimizes your unlock icon. Since the icon is minimized, you need to tap on it to bring it back up (while simultaneously minimizing Dashclock for example), then tap again and drag to unlock your phone. Is there any ROM, application, or maybe Xposed Installer module that allows lockscreen widgets to remain maximized while keeping the unlock icon from requiring two steps?
note: I'm currently using the quick launch shortcuts with one of them set as my Google Now Launcher but that returns me to my home screen every time I unlock my phone..

Check out lockerpro or sliderlock app... Same Dev... Or a ROM that has built in lock screen notifications (which almost do)... Another alternative would be active display within Roms or maybe acdisplay app

Android L + LockScreen Widgets? Any workaround?

Hi All,
Im wondering if there are any workarounds to adding lock screen widgets to the stock android lollipop lock screen like we were able to in Kit Kat? I was hoping to use dashclock widget and notifications as i'm not happy with Android L layout....
Is there any apps that can do it if not able to in stock Android L?
Any help much appreciated. I'm looking for a minimal lock screen, ideally with the clock in the middle of the screen!

Widget locker paid.

Or a display free.

Hope that is what you want.

Nice work finding those but go and look in the app store was the first thing I thought of. Cant people think? XDA is not a "Hey google" of rooting. You put effort in trying to solve your problem and them reach out. You don't grab the phone and get someone else to do it

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 ..
