So I use Pandora a lot during work. I would like to have a lockscreen widget that would allow me to forward/pause so that I don't have to unlock the phone etc.
I saw an app called Widget Locker that seems to be able to add widgets. Are there any other mods or apps??
I was also thinking about rooting and wasn't sure if any Rom's would give me that functionality.
Thanks in advance!!
I'd like the same, but for spotify.

There are a number of lockscreen apps, Widget Locker is the one I used. Just about any of them support widgets.
I've just disabled though because I don't want to install yet another app for email/SMS counts and WL requires one. The problem I find with Android is that the more you try to replace the manufacturer's UI with better stuff, the buggier it gets. I set up Tasker routines to renable Widget Locker when getting out of my car (because you don't want your lockscreen coming on when you turn off the screen in a car dock), and ever since, Google Music doesn't instantly stop playing when I pull the headphone plug. Too much going on, I figure, so I just disabled Widget Locker and so far so good.
A ROM might, depends on the ROM.
The price of all our freedom is...lack of polish and bugginess.
I use Widget Locker with another widget called Media Buttons. Media Buttons will allow you to control any/most music players. So what you got to do is, with your phone unlocked, launch Pandora and once the music starts playing lock the phone. The MB widget on your lock screen will now control Pandora. Follow the same process for other players on your phone.

Hi Guys,
Notification Weather is an exceptionally stylish and easy to use app for always staying up to date with the weather forecast.
Notification Weather is specifically designed to be as simple and intuitive as possible. In fact, Notification Weather requires 0 clicks to operate as it runs entirely in the background, thus minimizing impact on battery life or data usage. The forecast is placed directly in the notification dropdown and blends seamlessly with the operating system, leading you to believe it is part of the system.
Notification Weather is using Weather data from some of the best weather sources available including: Open Weather Map, Yahoo! weather, and Weather Bug.
Notification Weather Pro also supports AccuWeather and World Weather Online.
Pro Features:
- A refresh button and progress bar in notification that allows you to refresh the data manually
- Launch your app of choice by tapping the notification.
- 2 extra weather providers: AccuWeather and World Weather Online
- Option to get rid the small notification icon in the status bar
- Option to Swipe the notification to dismiss, until next update.
- Ability to switch between 12/24 hour time format.
- No Ads
Notification Weather Free
Notification Weather Pro
Themes
It's been asked multiple times so I went ahead and created the ability to theme the app. please go to Notification Weather Pro Theme to learn more

If you would like to help translate Notification Weather to you language, please feel free to help. Any help is appreciated.

This is great. I agree with nyloncrack above, that there should be an option for just the current weather. And also, for the notification icon, it would be much more useful if you had the current temperature instead of that image of a sun. Great app though!
Thanks for the share.Great idea for people that don't want a weather app on the home screen.
Here's the link for those who want to click directly from here: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orbar.NotificationWeather

looks nice but it's incompatible with my at&t htc one x
*didn't see it was 4.1+
Very good!!!
Great app. Would love the option to disable 4 day forecast. Looking forward to added features!

This is a beautifully made app, congratulations! Just a request, could you add other languages, like Brazilian Portuguese? If you need help with translation I can help you with that!

Another request, can you please let us choose the weather providers? I'd like to use yr.no instead of Yahoo. They have a MUCH more extensive list of cities, especially in small countries like mine. Yahoo only has the capital and about 2-3 cities.
In all cases, thanks A LOT. Just a few days ago I was asking on Twitter if someone knew a weather forecast app that made use of Jelly Bean's notifications. And now, you did it!
A few additions:
1. Maybe add the option to have rain probability for today.
2. German "Umlaute", like ö, ä, ü will not display correctly.
Nice app all in all. I will try it out for a few days and then decide on keeping it or not =)
LOOKS GREAT!!!!
Just what I have been looking for.
For those that don't want 4day forecast, just two finger swipe up on the notification and it will shrink it.
The only suggestion I have: have an option to get rid of icon in status bar.
But looks great man, might I ask where you learned your coding? I would like to get into it.
I like it. Although when I uninstalled it, my phone restarted. GS3 with CM10 nightly.
Looking great, congrats!
As far as I know, you can't get rid of the icon, so it'd be great to have the current temp on it (yes, it has to be an icon resource, so you'll have to generate icons for all possible temps... sucks, I know)
Would you consider sharing the source code? I'm interested in programming a somewhat similar permanent notification widget and really think this could help me out.

Are you running 4.1? this app requires APIs that were introduced with JB.

Google introduced expandable notifications in android 4.1 (jelly bean) so unless they backport it to ICS, I won't be able to release it on ICS.
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where I can find the Rings Digital Weather clock which can actually flip circles? Meaning, the clock can flip b/w digital and analog, the weather flips b/w different cities. I saw this working on the VZ S3 in a youtube vid by flossycarter. I have the Rings Digital Weather Clock downloaded from the playstore but would like the one which flips as mentioned above.
Is it built into a ROM? Is it under a different name in the Playstore for pay? Any help is greatly appreciated
(Vz S3 running cm10.0 / 4.1.2)
Its the Motorola circles widget. It only works with the stick Motorola launcher which is crap. Google it.

I'm using a Verizon S6 and really don't like Samsung's version of the notification panel and Quick Settings. I'd love to be able to use the stock Android version, but unfortunately I can't root this phone. Found this app in the Play Store called Snowball (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snowball.app) that replaces your notification panel and quick toggle with their version. It's activated just like the stock notification panel.
I'm hoping someone on here can develop an app that works like Snowball, but shows the stock notification instead and when you either swipe down a second time, or with 2 fingers you get the Quick Settings instead.
I was also looking for the same. Right now snowball is the only app available and they have discontinued updating that app. I hope some one will make an app like snowball with original android interface and it will be appreciated by most of the chineese android phone users also as they have weird notification panel.
Try finding goodlock on apkmirror.com. Hence the name, it is samsung alternative notification panel and quick settings.
Stock Gear 2 on Note9 Pie. I downloaded and installed Xclock Color Weather from Samsung Gear store through wear app
I like the watchface because it includes phone battery % which works and current weather which doesn't. I wonder if anybody discovered a trick to get it to work? It uses the Ximatic app and I have location allowed but no weather info will load.
