Nexus 4 Lockscreen Widgets

Nexus 4 Lockscreen Widgets

With Android 4.2 it's possible to put widgets on the lockscreen. This lets me see information without unlocking my Nexus 4.

Plume - I haven't found a Falcon Pro widget for the lockscreen yet, so i keep Plume installed just to check on Tweets on my lock screen.

Calendar - Just like keeping one on the home screen, the lock screen calendar widget is  fast way to see what's happening.

Gmail - For a fast look at my inbox. With a passcode on it prevents others from replying to messages, though anyone could see parts of my email.

Camera - One swipe right to left and I have full access to the Nexus 4 camera.

    Thanks for posting on all of these great apps and widgets, Josh. There’s a lot here, so I’ll wait until I get home from my shift at DISH to sit down with my Nexus and check them out. I’d like to suggest my favorite app, DISH Anywhere. I use it to watch live TV or DVR recordings on my phone. It’s a great way to kill time on my commute to and from work every day.

    Dropbox is one of my favorite apps and is very useful for someone like me who wants to access files anytime and anywhere I want.

    apps you telling are very basic apps. those are just informers. if you really want featured apps let me tell you…
    1- tasker (looks hard but very easy and excellent when you use to with it)
    2-Light manager (if your phone have led light notification)
    3-HD Widgets
    4-NFC Tasker (if your phone have NFC)
    5-4shared (to download free, all paid apps)

    Tasker is best in all android apps. if you use to with it then no need to buy and battery saver or call blocker or sms apps…it do all work alone.
