I no longer have the option in settings for widgets on my lockscreen under settings. Is there a way to get a weather widget on the LS without the setting?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Nope.Great. Is there any way to customize my clock on the LS at least?
Why not try an alternative lockscreen?

For all we know, they came to the conclusion that lockscreen widgets were a security risk (which, in fairness, they are) and they made the choice to save us from ourselves. Who knows?
Though, they don't force us all to use PINs or pattern locks (or even use a lockscreen for that matter)....
It'd be nice to have a concrete reason though.
I would like one, too. It's more of a downgrade than anything. I don't believe having lockscreen notifications should affect the ability to use a widget
They don't.... but the lack of widgets and LS notifs are not the same. I can only assume that allowing widgets in the lockscreen is a security risk... you are giving user apps a tunnel around the LS mechanism..... keys to the castle, so to speak. I'm sure that notifications were probably planned independently of locking down the lock screen (heh). Those notifications are coming directly from the system, so they are trusted.
I'm all for opting in/out of stuff like that... but perhaps there was some deep fundamental issue that precluded LS widgets... Muck like how they locked down SD cards in KK while they figured out a better method (that came in LP).
