Default Add Widgets to Lockscreen

I'm looking for a way to add a specific widget to my lockscreen. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about doing it.

Thanks.

Unless you are making your own lockscreen, there is no.such option.

It would kind of defeat the purpose of the lockscreen.

Also try widget locker, you can pick from specific lock screens and add widgets

I looked into both of those... It seemed that they only allowed for certain widgets. Maybe I'll try em out.

Flyscreen allows all android widgets.

Lightbulb This is what you want my friend.

It allows you to put any widget & shortcuts you want on your default lock screen.

But it costs $0.99

I've tried it in beta form. Its a tiny bit laggy but it works.

Widget Locker:

Thanks to all for helping out. I tried both FlyScreen and WidgetLocker, but decided that I didn't really care for widgets all over my lock screen (alas, indecisiveness). That being said, WidgetLocker is far superior, so if you're looking for something like this, it's worth the junior bacon cheeseburger.
