After iOS 16 reintroduced lock screen widgets, Google is dusting off its old code.

    Lock screen widgets were a neat idea but the original implementation was ugly as hell.

    Just let me put read-only widgets on the lock screen.

    Who needs this? Fix this first

    • unusable music player buttons, way too small and weird
    • quick settings way too big and ugly, things missing
    • implement most GrapheneOS features, like Contact and storage scopes, internet permission, etc.
    • stop disabling permissions of apps opt-out. Its a feature for dumb people
    • keep maintaining the AOSP apps instead of the Google crap…

      I agree with you about fixing the UI of things that appear on the lock screen that we already have, but I also remember and used these widgets back in the day and I have a use case for them.

    Would be nice for more than just small and adaptive for the basic clock. Maybe add medium and large back in? (just something I don’t understand about vanilla android)
