Lockscreen Widgets and Drawer APK

Lockscreen Widgets and Drawer

Reclaim Your Lock Screen

• Android once offered the convenience of lock screen widgets, but that capability vanished with the release of Android 5.0.

• While some manufacturers have since introduced their own restrictive, proprietary versions, full control remained out of reach—until now.

Lockscreen Widgets

• Restores this lost functionality, giving you the power to use any home screen widget directly on your lock screen, exactly how you want it.

Key Features

• Total Customization: Add any widget to a paged frame. Reorder, resize, or stack multiple widgets per page with simple touch gestures.

• Smart Interaction: Need to clear the view? Use a three-finger tap to hide the frame until the next time you wake your screen.

• The Widget Drawer: Access your favorite widgets from anywhere using an edge-swipe handle, or trigger it via Tasker and other shortcuts.

• No Root Required: Enjoy full functionality without the hassle of rooting your device. (Note: Android 13+ may require ADB or Shizuku for optimal performance).

Important Permissions

To provide this deep integration, the app requires specific permissions:

• Accessibility: Essential for rendering widgets directly over your lock screen.

• Notification Listener: Optional; allows the frame to intelligently hide when notifications appear.

• Dismiss Keyguard: Improves flow by navigating to your security input when you interact with specific widgets. Your device security remains fully intact.

Compatibility and Support

• Requirements: Compatible with Android 5.1 and higher.

• Open Source: Transparency is our priority; the full source code is available for review.
