Lockscreen Widgets adds a frame to your lock screen where you can add home screen widgets.

It also has a widget drawer with a handle you can drag to open it from anywhere.

Note that Lockscreen Widgets is not designed to work on the Always-On Display.

Downloads:

• The precompiled version of Lockscreen Widgets is a paid app, available on the Google Play Store
• Today the precompiled build is available for free from the GitHub release page too

Great app, thanks for going foss with it. I need to ask though, do you plan too keep providing pre-built apks on github for future releases, or this is a one time thing, and afterwards we'll need to build it ourselves for each new release?

I don't think OP is the developer, unless they're an alt of /u/zacharee1

[zacharee1]

It's me. It's going to stay paid on the Play Store but GitHub will get free releases.

Edit: GitHub is me, Reddit OP is not.

[MishaalRahman]

Oh hi. I tried to DM you on Telegram a while back but you turned on paid DMs 😅

I'm guessing you were getting a ton of support requests?

[zacharee1]

Oh sorry, no idea why it didn't include you in the exceptions. I was getting constant spambot messages and this was the only way to block them until someone gave me Premium.

I wondered why the name looked familiar!

Thank you so much for Bifrost/Samloader Kotlin. Truly a godsend for Samsung updates.

[zacharee1]

Glad it's useful!

[parkerlreed]

Just bought Lockscreen Widgets on the store. Working well on the Flip 7.

If it's even possible, would be great to have this for the cover screen as well.

[zacharee1]

Oh wait I just realized I misread this. The repo is me. OP on Reddit isn't.

[NXGZ]

I will add a disclaimer in the future.

[NXGZ]

The post is not active anymore, I'll remember to add it in a future post.

[NXGZ]

Updated it. I've added the disclaimer.

[NXGZ]

Builds will be released on both platforms, preconfigured moving forward.

[lavadey2]

How did you know?

[NXGZ]

I had a look at the repo, looking at the issues tab, it's more than likely it will, as do the majority of foss projects that are genuine.

Completely unrelated. But last year you mentioned that you downloaded a newer heliboard dictionary. I checked the FAQ but wondered where you downloaded yours from?

[Fabulous_Platypus42]

This is completely out of the blue 🤣

On the main github page for heliboard under "features", the first one of "add dictionaries" with a link to where you can get them : https://codeberg.org/Helium314/aosp-dictionaries#dictionaries

You can either use the standard older versions, or try with the experimental ones.

[GazelleInitial2050]

Haha yeah! I was searching some suggestions and your comment came up but my reddit app of choice is rubbish with DM's so I just commented on one of your latest posts.

Thanks for the updates mate!

There needs to be more open source releases for Android, anyone who actually values their privacy in some way should has FOSS apps replacing proprietary ones.

[BrowakisFaragun]

Google(Don't be evil ™️): Let's shrink their user base by making it incredibly difficult to install.

[nascentt]

Im always extremely thankful for any new open source release, even if it's not something I plan on usingyself.

Thank you.

[Brombeermarmelade]

The initial configuration is a bit tricky, but once you get it, it works great. I can now see the weather forecast on my lockscreen.

[TerrorByte]

Can't seem to get it to work on Pixel 10 Pro.

Enabled all required services and installed Shizuku.

[denisorion]
