Can you change ANYTHING on the stock lock screen?

Lock screen currently looks like this

Hi. I don't know anyone at the moment with a gs3, but it looks like you can only have one lock screen.
Seperately Chronus says their lock screen widget should work on any with 4.2 and above. So we can maybe forget about sliding lock pages and just get it to install on the lock screen like it should. I will work on my phone a bit later and get back then. Maybe @msndrstood will have an idea later also.

Many thsnks for ur reply. I contacted Chronus support but they suggested i Google my problem for an answer. Hence my using this forum. (Though I'm a regular user & fan of this & a few phone forums for my own interest & enjoyment !).

I lost 'Multiple Widgets' option from Lock screen settings while fiddling with different things. I got it back by disabling Pin unlock and just using Swipe unlock which I usually only have (less fiddly).
So I got my Multiple Widgets setting back in Lock screen settings.
Can you try that when you have time. I am sure you could put a pin lock back on later, but we need to find that lock screen page with the plus box that gives you a choice of widgets to add. Here's hoping.

I think that must be what I'd done. Ive just dine what you suggested & changed to swipe unlock & hey presto!, Multiple Widgets showed in Settings so I've enabled it.
And now I was able to access lock screen widgets in a list & I've just chosen 2 lock screen pages if widgets, as desired.

Great.
Really poor menu layout on that though. Seems like a forgotten afterthought. How could anyone know. It doesn't warn you.

I know; completely confused me - hence this long thread! Lol

 

[msndrstood]

Lol, longest thread in history on such a simple topic. Who knew?!

Thanks to Golfdriver97 and Madd54 for answering the call of duty!

Much appreciated!

Hi @msndrstood. I hope you are well.
We still never got that right, did we?

You can't use lock screen widgets again if you put back a pin or other secure lock. I am still confused. I reference today's post below.
I only use Swipe lock.

Of course later I came across older posts from early March where others knew how to add widgets but didn't catch this thread. @dpham00 was one.
