G+_Kenny “KitkatRai” Rouss Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I was told they removed it at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Richard Cohen Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 They're gone, they've ceased to be - they are now ex-widgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Henning Andersen Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Noooo!! I will arange a proper funeral, detail will come later for all who will join it. I loved this feature! I don't get why, it's not like it was on by default anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Richard Cohen Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Presumably they weren't used all that much, and I think quite a few vendor builds of Android disabled them anyway. Also, rich notifications on the lockscreen are a partial replacement which probably satisfy some people's needs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Henning Andersen Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 But why not have it as an default disabled option? For those of us who use it a lot, we could just enable it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Henning Andersen Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Why Kevin Rieber? Ambient display would only light up the screen with notifications. If you click the unlock button / double tap the screen you could go to the regular lockscreen, WITH widgets. They don't interfere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Henning Andersen Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 It's a good guess Kevin Rieber ! I wish they gave me a choise a least. I could sacrifice the new thing for widgets, a choise between EITHER notifications or widgets. No interaction problem ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Johan Appelgren Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 It would've been nice if they had added an option for apps to show notifications only on the lock screen and that isn't full size. So you could get something DashClock-like on Lollipop with a small next appointment icon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Henning Andersen Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 So, Gina Trapani, Jason Howell, Ron Richards, do you have any good alternatives you care to show off in the next episode? (A tip for the Areana maybe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_L I Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Stock Android seems to remove one or two key features that people like every iteration. You have to root and/or install a third party ROM to get them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
