widget to lock the screen?

hi,
someone knows a widget that allows you to lock the screen of your android device?
on my nexus one i'd like to do it without pressing the lock button, so a widget button would be wonderful..
thanks
DNL
I would also like a widget that does this. In particular I would like a widget to engage the pattern/pin lock so that I can secure the phone when I need to, but not have the pattern/pin lock on all the time.
sure, it could have two buttons, one to normally lock the device, and the other one to lock it activatingthe security pattern..
no one knows something like this?
some developer here think it would be difficult to develop it?
Would love for this to be developed. I hate when I am streaming Slacker Radio or Pandora, when the phone goes to sleep and I want to skip a track I have to unlock the phone and put my pattern back in to get to the app since there is no option on the lock screen to skip. There are other apps that I use constantly that would favor this widget (if made ) as well. If I had a toggle switch to either enable or disable the pattern I would use it often.
Take a look at Screen Mode Widget in the Market. I've been using it since I first got my Droid a few months ago. Probably my most useful app on the phone because I HATED using the unlock key and then swiping to unlock all the time.
P.S. For the pattern lock, try the Lock Pattern OnOff widget available via the Market as well.

How does the lockscreen determine which widgets you can/can't add?

Basically, I have a lot of widgets available for my homescreen, but extremely few for the lock screen. Is there a way to enable certain widgets to work with the lock screen? Or some way I can customize lock screen widgets? I'm running T-Mobile Z3 stock 4.4.4.
Id like to know that too.

Lock screen widgets/info

Hi Guys,
I have been trying to to add some widgets to the lock screen but cannot see the option do so. The main idea is to display the alarm along with the native clock icon and see the calendar events without having to unlock the device. I treid next lock screen but the behavior seemed a bit weird and I would like widgets on the stock lock screen itself. Is there a way to do so?
Thanks in advance.
Nope, no way to do that unfortunately. I don't think lock screen widgets have been a feature since 4.2

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
do u know of any 3rd party locker that would work perfectly with the fingerprint unlock and replace the stock locker?

How to display different wallpaper for Desktop and Lock Screen?

Hey all. Gosh I feel like an idiot for posting but cant for the life of me figure this super basic thing out.
Im on a S7 Edge, using Nova Launcher, and the Goodluck UI. Wanted to mention all that as I think that is why Im having so much trouble. No matter what app, or setting on the phone, it makes the wallpaper the same for both the lock scree and desktop. Can someone tell me what steps work with the configuration I have
Thanks!
Usually you would use the wallpaper setting in Android itself and tell it to set the Homescreen/Lock screen separately using the dropdown at the top of the wallpaper choice screen, but iirc, Good lock has its own wallpaper setting, I don't use it so not sure where it is, but I'd have a look in Good lock settings to start
You can set the home screen however you want, but the lock screen has to be done a specific way. Go into the stock Gallery app, find the pic you want to use then hit "More" in the upper right corner. Then "Set as wallpaper" and choose which you want to set it for, home screen, lock screen, or both.
It's annoying to have to use the Gallery app as it has no way to filter out unwanted folders like all my music folders with album art, but it is the only way I've found so far to set different lock screen and home screen wallpapers.

How do I get any widget on the lock screen or the Ambient screen?

Is there a good way to put a normal widget that works on the home screen (not just special weather or clock things) onto the lock screen or the second layer lock screen ("Ambient")?
I have a Sony xz2 compact with Android 9, using the default Sony lock screen.
Is there nothing? It used to be possible natively in some Android versions, so I'd have expected that after they stopped it, people would have missed it and looked for alternatives.
