One of the best new features of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean was the introduction of Lockscreen widgets. You can place app widgets directly on your lock screen and get your favorite app contents without having to unlocking the phone and finding the information yourself. For those who do not have 4.2 Jelly Bean devices or want a feature rich lock screen, you can try one of a small number of apps that do the same thing, for instance, C Locker Free.

C Locker Free is a feature rich Lockscreen replacement app for Android phone running ICS and later (Android 4.0 and above). It lets you customize the Lock Screen you like, let you see how emails have come through, produce shortcuts that will take you straight to certain apps, gives detailed weather information including humidity and many more options.
