On My Samsung Galaxy s2 i9100
My lock screen widget for the digital clock is cut off half way
But I can pull it down and then I have to clock a lock button then it turns back to normal and then I’m able to unlock the phone again.
Why is that?

How do I get the “What’s this song” widget?

It’s unfortunate that you can’t have a secure phone and widgets at the same time.

Can’t we use this as a replacement for Widgetlocker? I like having widget locker cause I got the weather and sunrise sunset on my lockscreen, as well as beautiful widgets clock. The only problem is that it runs in the background. If its built in, it would eliminate that problem and I wouldn’t need Widgetlocker anymore. Correct?

It is a real tattoo, but it isn’t mine.

What’s with the ugly digital clock? Having a different font for the hour and minute digits looks terrible.

At least they finally added functionality to it that third party apps and oem skins have been providing for a while (timer, stopwatch, world clock)

I think lockscreen widgets are pretty convenient, at least for music and maybe stocks.

As long as I can save apps to SD I don’t care about anything else

^— Good eye, just noticed that & makes sense. A simple visual indicator is more user friendly then the current ‘invisible swipe’ on 4.1.2. Most average users probably wouldn’t even know that they can access Google Now w/o that new circle.

That’s cool. But at what point is it just less confusing to unlock your phone and do whatever you need to from your home screen widgets?

Except the camera. I think the camera is exempt (no security needed).
