LockScreen Widgets

I want to have access to dialer from lock screen directly. I did not find this option in the phone. So i installed different Dialer Widget applications. But I can select widget for lock screen from only one application.

Why I do not see all installed widgets when I configure my lock screen?

because not all widgets allow you to do so or have that feature, you have to contact the lockscreen developer

"lockscreen developer" - what do you mean with this? Sony lockscreen developers or ... ?

If you have a thirdparty lockscreen app, it will be up to them, as for Sony's it seems that they use the same lock screen as Google/android with few tweaks, in other words, only certain widgets will work with the lockscreen

I use default Sony lock screen.

So how I can find certain widgets? I have mean - I should install widget and test it if it can be put on the lock screen. But how I can know that a widget is certain before install it?

I don't know of any other way to this, you might want to check Android's website and/or forum
