I've upgraded to 4.2.2 a week ago and i find the upgrade worth it although there are some bugs and a little lag involved.
Anyway, i get to use the new feature in android ----> lockscreen widgets. But this new feature is very limited and pretty much useless in my case. I already use the camera from the physical button (no need for 'swype to right' widget). On the left side i would like to use a flashlight widget (teslaLED) or the sony notes widget which i use often but none of them are available for use in lockscreen widgets list.
Both apps have widgets but they do not appear in the lockscreen widgets list. Really frustrating issue.

Is there a solution to make these widgets work on lockscreen?
Do you know a flashlight app who's widget will work on lockscreen as well?

I'd use Dashclock + applauncher + dashtorch. Dashclock is a full screen widget that adds alot to the lockscreen. applauncher can be set to allow any program to be launched from the widget. Dashtorch is a flashlight with it's own widget and a plugin for dashclock.
