Weather and time on lockscreen is easy using one of the widgets that can be placed into an Android lockscreen, for example DashClock: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roman.dashclock https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roma... Shortcuts... edge swipe from bottom on my lockscreen gives Google Now (after asking for the security code). On my Nexus 4, edge swipe from right brought the camera, though that doesn't seem to be working on the Nexus 7 I have now. For flashlight you could maybe add this extension to DashClock: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fleckdalm.dashclockcustomextension https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fleckdalm.... Note: this is assuming that you have a stock Android 4.x lockscreen. No idea whether these things work on one of the custom vendor lockscreens.
