You can't use some lock screen widgets if you have a security lock screen thanks to Samsung being weird and annoying. Plus they removed the quick launch camera lock screen with their silly app matrix.
If you just use the slide to unlock feature then slide your finger from the top down and then left or right and you'll have the option of adding more.

You first have to enable them in the settings. Also you can enable quick camera instead of using the app matrix, you'll find that in the same place.... Main settings---> lockscreen ---> check the multiple widgets box. Tap the next box down to configure the quick launch camera as default instead of the app matrix should you choose.

[Q] How do I add a widget on the main lock screen

Using the latest Paranoid Android ROM and already downloaded the Chronus App. I AM able to add a widget in the LEFT lock screen but I could not figure out how to move this widget into the MAIN one, which has the time and date already built-in. Thanks for the help!

You need to swipe down on the time/date widget in order to maximize it, then tap and hold on the widget itself, a remove icon will appear.

Thank you. Got it now.

My own widget on lock screen

Hi all,
I have one problem. If I activate the option to have more than one widget on the lock screen its no problem to add the widget "DashClock". But if I de activate this option, the Note 3 sets its own widget (weather and calendar).
I want only my own widget (DashClock) in the lock screen. How can I do that?
I am using X-Note 3 V11 Firmware.

Don't De activate the option?

[Q] Camera option on pin lock screen?

My wife has a s5 and I love how the camera option is there rite on the pinpad lock screen. I want to get that on my note3 but without flashing the s5 port ROM. Had anyone had any luck with this. I tried the xpossed module but it didn't work.

[Q] How to get lockscreen shortcuts without installing another app?

Moving from a Note 2 to Note 4 is a joy in terms of the upgrade to the features. One feature that I miss though is the ability to have shortcuts to applications right on the lock screen. This allows one to access the app from the lock screen with a single swipe. Unfortunately it seems like in the Note 4, such a shortcut is only available for the camera. Grateful if anyone can enlighten on how the app shorcut feature can be implemented in the Note 4!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Settings/Personalisation/Accessibility/Dexterity and interaction/Assistant menu(on)

Thks! How do I add applications to the lock screen using this method? Only has options like home, recent apps etc.

I've been wondering the same thing. I can't think of a single reason that they would get rid of the shortcuts. I even tried the module on the Xposed framework that fixed the shortcuts for the S5 but that didn't work either. I'm really looking forward to a fix.

The best thing is that it seems like you get more shortcuts when you have the S View Cover on. You'll be able to access heart beat sensor, torchlight etc. Maybe it's a marketing gimmick to get people to buy the cover
