Highlights

How lock screen widgets work

• Widgets appear at the top of your lock screen inside a paged “frame” layout.
• Tap the plus (+) button in the frame to add a widget. The plus button always leads to the last page.
• Each widget you add gets its own page, or you can place multiple widgets on a single page.
• Drag the controls to rearrange widget order.
• Press and hold a widget to delete it or change its size.
• Two-finger tap to enter edit mode, then adjust the widget size and position.
• Three-finger tap on the border temporarily hides it. The border returns after you turn the screen off and back on.
• You can add any home screen widget as a lock screen widget.

Important Permissions & Notes

To make lock screen widgets and the drawer work properly, you must enable required accessibility features on your device. This allows the app to access and read notifications, and to remove the device’s original lock screen interface or show a secure input view. The app also needs access to your photo library so you can decorate the home screen with images and add related widgets.

These permissions are necessary for smooth operation, so granting them is recommended to help avoid interruptions and ensure the best user experience.

What You Can Do With Widgets

With lock screen widgets and the app drawer, you can customize your lock screen for a more attractive appearance. Moving widgets from the home screen to the lock screen also lets you view recent app notifications without unlocking your phone—especially helpful when you’re busy.

You can add many types of widgets, such as weather, messages, phone calls, gallery, and alarms. You can also include tools like calculator, contacts, dictionaries, and even social networking shortcuts.

Instead of a single static image on the lock screen, you can show more information and access apps without unlocking.

Final Thoughts

This app lets you display specific widgets on the lock screen. Some versions—such as Android 5.0 Lollipop—removed this useful capability, limiting widgets to the home screen only. While some phone makers (for example, Samsung) have restored part of the lock screen widget experience, you often can only use widgets that are prebuilt by the manufacturer. This app restores the earlier functionality and adds extra customization options on top.
