If you're one lucky person running Jelly Bean 4.2, I'm sure you've seen the new lockscreen that let's you use your camera or certain widgets without the need to unlock the phone. I can see a lot of potential for developers to update their widgets to have them accessible from the lockscreen.
This new feature doesn't please everybody especially those concerned about security. Being a security freak myself, I somewhat feel comfortable using the widgets on my lockscreen. Not necessarily keen on any widget that could display any personal info, but I sure like to use my camera to quickly snap a picture without the need to unlock my phone.
A member of the well known XDA forum has made available a little app called Lockscreen Policy that lets you disable the widgets and / or the camera from the lockscreen. You can grab it from the Play Store.
Another feature called "Clock Hack" (for ROOTED devices only!) let's you can disable the bold-hour clock. By doing so, you won't be able to access to the alarm app by clicking on the widget and you will lose the world clocks on your lockscreen. I personally like the look of the new clock and I also make use of the world clocks so disabling this is not for me.
I have tried this app on my Galaxy Nexus running CM10.1. Give it a shot a let me know what you think!
