One of the things that I miss from my Nexus and other prior pure Android devices is full screen lock screen album art. Does anyone know of a hack or workaround to get that on one's Note 8?
Thanks

If I remember correctly, there is a plug-in to muzei app which is a live wallpaper app. The plug-in give you the option to set the appropriate albom cover as a wallpaper with or without blur effect. You can try and find it and set it as your lock screen.
Hope it helps, update me
Samsung got rid of full screen lock screen album art in Lollipop.

I'm using the GEL and am on Kit Kat. I'm trying to use NILS instead of the Active Display for my lockscreen to give me more information at a glance.
I cannot figure out how to add a lock screen widget. I've looked online but none of the directions work. I've turned active display off. If I go to the lockscreen and try sliding from the left edge, the clock rotates a little but that is all it odes. If I slide from the right edge of the lockscreen, the camera app starts. I see no other way to add or change lockscreen widgets.
Any ideas?
Go to settings/security and check the box next to enable widgets.

Hi
Got the Z1 running 14.2.A.0.290 4.3
How do I get the Spotify widget (the one with the album art) to appear as a widget on the lock screen + button so I can have it on the lock screen?
I use the pattern lock, if that matters
The only thing I get from spotify is the simple controls on the lock screen, and that's only when spotify is running, and if you pause spotify this control disappears.
I'm thinking it might be a spotify rather than Xperia issue but you never know.
What determines which widgets are available to the lock screen? My 1Weather is, and HD Widgets come up in the list
Thanks
When I updated my s4 active to 4.4 I no longer see the Samsung music widget on the list of lock screen widgets, just watch on, calendar, s health and a few other apps but not the music widget. Anybody having this problem or know of a fix
I also do not have the option of putting a samsung music widget on the lock screen. This might be because 4.4 automatically detects most media apps and puts forward, play/pause and backwards controls on the lock screen for whatever app has media playing so samsung may have decided there is no need to include a music widget. Of course I could be completely wrong, but that seems like the most logical reason to me.

To differ from my plain black home screen? I'm on DU 11415 build with lk 1.7... I never even saw the lock screen pic before so I have no clue where its from. Just appeared.
It's bug. Just restart and it will go back. Mine was stuck with a YouTube screeny

I thought I was going crazy. Thank you!
Or launch an app that uses a Lockscreen widget. Then stop and close the app. Lockscreen should be normal after that.
Does anyone know how to get a weather app on my lock screen. The option is not available as a selection in Face Widgets and Information.
I love my Note 8, but there are some limitations I'm not happy about.

You can add any widget on the Note 8 lock screen using an app called Overlays Pro (doesn't require root). I am also still looking for a way to do it without using an external app.
