Anyone know lockscreen that can see launcher screen
Example
I have widget clock on screen when the phone get to lock screen
it can show widget clock not hide it.
The easiest way to do this is use widget locker and then put whatever widgets you want on the lockscreen. its paid app but well worth the price.
agreed, Widget Locker is the way to go. Saves me a lot of time. money well spent
If use widget locker you use double memory for one widget right?
example
I have one pure calendar on widget locker and another on screen it use 2 time memory
I think if lockscreen that not hide widget it not drain memory
Thanks
I haven't seen a double usage I use simiclock on both wl and home screen and no double

Widget locker has a very minimal impact on battery if that's what you're worried about. Somewhere in the app the dev goes into detail on how he avoids causing excessive battery drain.

Anyone know of a way to get the weather on the lockscreen, without getting an extra app. I'm currently using the Epic Unlock and would like to add weather to it.
Weather bug lets u display temperature in status bar, if that helps.

Yeah, Beautiful Widgets let's me do the same. I would just like to mod my current one to include the weather from Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widgets. I think this would be a really cool mod.
I use beautiful widgets (which you say you have, so I'm not counting it as an "extra app") I set my background to the beautiful live weather wallpaper, so that should do what you want it to I think.
If you don't want the weather as you permanent wallpaper, most custom roms will let you choose a specific wallpaper for your lockscreen.
I really like having the weather as my background as it's one of the really quick and easy way I can disgrace all the iphone folks.
I looked for a list of widgets and was unable to find one. So Im starting a list here. Please post a list of widgets you're using or ones you know of that work good on the G Tab. Thanks.

Good thread idea. I'm a newb, and still looking for good widgets.
So far I'm using Fancy Widget, and Widgetsoid.
Here's a list of the widgets I'm using or have used:
Beautiful Widgets tablet beta
Fancy Widget
Elixir(has tons of widgets and info buttons available)
Weatherbug Elite
Express News
Elixir is the one I'm using at the moment for all power control options, and Beautiful Widgets Tablet for my weather widget.

Do all the Elixir buttons work? I tried the Sound toggle as well as Reboot of Widgetsiod, but neither seem to work.
I haven't tried the reboot toggle, but the sound/mute toggle works well.
Im still trying to find a good RSS widget.
Scrollable News widget is great for RSS feeds. You do need a launcher that supports scrollable widget, such as LP or ADW
I use WeatherBug on my phone and love it but it FCs on my gtab. Instead I use The Weather Channel's widget, it works well and with the largest version it shows plenty of information.
For my RSS needs I'm currently using Google Reader but am not always happy with it. I wish Reddit is fun had a widget.
I also use the stock Power widget.

Thanks, this is great! Have to add a few more home screens now just to have RSS feeds.
Scrollable News Widget is great. Here is a screen shot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12987479&postcount=356

That looks nice. What launcher is that? It looks very clean.

It's VT Launcher and I used the LauncherProIcons app to get the LP style icons, and bettercut to apply them. The rest is CM7 with the honeycomb status icons addition.
Widget failed to load
How many widget users have the issue of a widget failing to load after a few days, the only solution being dump the widget and reload it.
Not a big issue, just wondering if it is a launcherPro issue (my default) or a modded gtab issue. LauncherPro native widgets seem to do better.

Hi manikin13,
I havent really had issues unless Im messing around with the settings on my launcher. Im using VTL.Launcher and when i changed the dock background settings some widgets went squirrley. I would say its your launcher. Maybe uninstall and reinstall might fix it.
if anyone needs a good news widget, AtomaRSS is definitely one of the best
I'm trying to hide my main home screen widget whenever I open a pop-up widget. I build all my widgets with zooper, and attach them to shortcuts in my dock with pop-up widget.
The only widget that's always showing is my clock that sits on the home screen, but I want it to hide every any time I open one of the pop-ups (they all are transparent). I got tasker because I thought it could handle this for me (never used it before), but I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can make this work? I'm not married to Tasker, but I want to stick with zooper.
Thanks!
EDIT: In case it matters, It's a HTC One M8, Android 5, not rooted, using nova launcher
When I picked up my S6E, I really liked the stock Weather widget that's part of TouchWiz. I always find myself back using Apex Launcher and my S6E is no exception. I've installed it and set it up just the way I like it and the one disappointment I have is the stock weather widget isn't available
When accessing widgets from the app drawer it doesn't even show. Long pressing on the home screen, and selecting widgets that way shows the "weather" widget as a 4 x 2 widget but regardless of where I try to put it - even on a clean screen gives me a "not enough space to place . . . " error. It's really a 4 x 1 widget.
I know there are options like Zooper widgets that have addons with a similar look but none has access to the built in Accuweather app.
Anybody figure out how to use the stock weather widget with Apex or any other non-TouchWiz launcher?
This would be awesome! !

I've tried to get it to work on both the GS3, GS4, GS4, Note 3, etc ... and nothing works...so definitely not a new problem! I was able to tear it apart enough on the GS3 to get it to show on Apex launcher ... but it wouldn't update, show location, or work when you clicked on it.
As to this point, I haven't found a widget I like more than the stock TW one. Beautiful Widgets used to have some nice looking ones, but honestly it's been about 3 years since I've even looked at the app so I wouldn't know what they've got these days.

Here's my solution, adapted from the discussion HERE. I use Zooper Widget Pro and the S6 Zooper Widgets Theme. It's by far the most spot-on widget compared to the actual stock version. In fact, from the stock clock and weather on the lock screen, you really can't tell the difference between it and the Zooper widget version.
1. Install Zooper Widget Pro
2. Install the S6 Zooper Widgets Theme
3. Install Desktop VisualizeR
4. Create a 4 x 1, 4 x 2, etc. Zooper Widget and select the S6 Widgets Theme. The widget option that looks exactly like the stock version is the one with a "45" in the title (the angle of the shadow)
Land it on the desktop one row below where you actually want to place it.
5, Long-press the home screen and select Applications - Clock ---> do this twice
6. Open Desktop VisualizeR and create a shortcut the following way: select a transparent image (attached below) as the shortcut Image. Click Select Action - Others - Activities - Weather - Weather. Title the shortcut "Weather". Select Apex Launcher as the target launcher ---> do this twice.
7. Now, long press on the 4 shortcut icons, one at a time and choose edit. Change the clock icons to the same transparent alpha you used for the Desktop VisualizeR shortcuts and delete the shortcut names. For the weather shortcuts, just edit and delete the names.
8. You're now left with for transparent shortcuts.
9. Long press the clock widget and select Resize. Using the nodes on the widget, move the top up and then the bottom.
You're left with the Zooper Widget with transparent shortcuts overlaid that open the clock and the stock weather app. There's a few shortcuts you can do like set the default click-on action in the widget settings to open the clock which will eliminate the need to add those two shortcuts but this way gives you a little more flexibility like assigning different actions to the hour and minute location.
Only very slight annoyance is that the widget uses open weather as the provider which sometimes slightly mismatches with accuweather re: location name and temperature.
Worked very well Jeff. Love it thanks.
Does anyone else notice clock widgets seem to freeze every so often so the time shows incorrectly? I've turned off battery optimisation for the widgets but it still does it
Not on mine... I use Beautiful widgets for the clock and it keeps on ticking (I don't lick my Note 9)....
Are you a 3rd party or the Smasung clock widget? I think I used Sony Xperia widget on my V20. It featured this behavior occasionally if I had not touched my phone for awhile. It would update itself after stretching out and yawning some more. My note9 with in house widget is not doing this.
Using better dashclock and another widget (that's the name lol)
