Anyone know if there exist some mod for Android that would allow persistant lockscreen notifications/widgets to the bottom of the lockscreen?
My idea is to move my Spotify controls to the bottom of my lockscreen since that's a more natural control location for me. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would find music controls friendlier at the bottom, so maybe this already exists I'm some form somewhere. Would cLock possibly allow this?
I'm going to hope the answer isn't an Xposed mod, though, because I'm on the currently unsupported TW 5.0.1
Thanks!

I used to have an app that i could put shortcuts in my notification bar. When I updated to the new 2.1 leak. I didn't back up that app, and I can't for the life think of me what it was called. It had a dumbbell as an icon for the app if that helps any.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It was a useful app
***Nevermind I found it after looking on the next page.lol***
The app was "Bar Control"
what was the point of that verse just putting them on a home screen? Just curious.. always looking for cool additions.
thanks
The lockscreen is the only part of my Nexus S I haven't customised yet.
What are your favourite apps and mods for the lockscreen? Mind sharing them and perhaps a screenshot?

Widgetlocker, you can get it from the market.
Then look up some custom sliders, there are some great minimalist ones out there that are far prettier than the standard android one. I may get round to adding more here but for now check that out, its how i did mine.
Thank you Corvidd, will check both out!
Is there anything to bring notifications on the lockscreen at all?

You can add widget in widgetlocker, then you got notifications in lockscreen...
You can also let notification bar free to be open and add shortcuts... really useful app.

Widgetlocker for sliders.
Widgetsoid for power control toggles.
SimiClock for Weather, time and battery.
In Widgetlocker - enable the notification bar.
The end result of all this is a ridiculous amount of 1 click functionality from your lock screen.
I also use NoLED for notifications along with WidgetLocker, works well.
Hope this helps!
I used MetaMorph for my lockscreen.

Anyone tried GOTO Lockscreen?

It has more or less what I want although I would really just like a list of all the notification with ability to launch directly the associated app on the lockscreen..
I hear this is what Sense 3 does but can't find an example anywhere..

So I'm looking for a simplistic music control app for my lock screen or an app which lets you customize the look of the (play, next, previous) buttons. Any suggestions and help will be gladly appreciated.
I'm in the middle of porting the lockscreen mod which enables the player on the lockscreen. Its in alpha stage now, but the three lock screens that work two have music controls. I can let you flash where its at so far.

Pure music Widget from the Market will give you a nice, simplistic set of music control widgets which can then be skinned. It's capable of being used with various Android music apps, so check the details of it in the Market to see if it'll work with your music app of choice.
It does not have the ability to natively put music controls on the lockscreen. Usually for that, you have to either use a music app that can do it (like PowerAMP or PlayerPro) or you can use another app called WidgetLocker that will enable you to put whatever widgets you want onto the replacement lockscreen that WidgetLocker creates on your phone.

I only need the lock screen mod not the whole cm7 mod. I'm happy with simple minimal gingerbread ui but I think that they really drop the ball without this non-music lock screen control feature. Having to unlock phone just to more forward a track or tap music widget just to move back a track is a real pain.

Would it be possible to make a Pandora widget like the music lockscreen widget? Or make it where the stoke lockscreen widget also controls Pandora?

I'm pretty sure something like Widget Locker from the market should allow you to place the pandora widget on your lock screen. Not exactly what you're looking for, but it's about as close as you'll get I think.
This is not exactly what you want, but if Pandora is running while the Vivid is locked, you can pull down the notification bar (at least with ICS/Sense 3.6) and access the running Pandora app
Also, you might consider replacing one of the default apps in the bottom app bar with the Pandora app shortcut. Those four apps, whatever they are, will show on the lock screen.
Of course, I believe you want to see the full screen app like the music player shows when locked.
Yea I use notification bar and have the quick unlock set with Pandora lol but was hoping to have the fullscreen widget like the music one, I guess I'm just getting too lazy

Anyone else dont like the fact on Sense 5, if you want a app shortcut to be on the bottom app bar then it gets removed from the app drawer? So you cant have it in both the drawer and on the home screen! Hope this gets modded by the awesome devs on here.
Why would you want it still in the app drawer if you have made a shortcut to it for easy access
I agree with craftycarper1 as I don't see why you would seek to start an app from the app drawer after you created a shortcut for it. If you want to see the list of all apps there are many apps and usual android settings menu to do so.
On the other hand I have to admit that I don't like this Sense 5 app drawer. It too minimalist and does not allow even basic customizations.
Tell me if I'm wrong but It does not allow horizontal scroll, app groups on other sorting than custom. I hope these little features will be added soon.
