Is there a way to have a numerical notification for unread messages like the iPhone or WM phones have? On both the others there is an email icon at the bottom that will show a number on it with the number of unread messages in the inbox. Can this be done in some format on the Captivate either with the stock shell or Android or with an add on app? All I get now is a small generic notification on the top info bar for new emails, but no details. Thanks.
Assuming you are using TouchWiz, then since the icon bar at the bottom will only accept applications, and not widgets: not with TouchWiz. I can't speak for anything else.
I use gmail, and it's notifications tell me how many I have, so again I can't speak to the default email client.
If you use LauncherPro (free in the market) as a replacement launcher then there is the option to show the number of missed calls, unread texts and unread emails (gmail only) on the corresponding dock icons.
Thanks. I am new to Android and still using TouchWiz and have not yet had a chance to arrange for third party apps. I will try LauncherPro when I can.
You can use SMS unread count widget (free) and that will give you one for sms, email and missed call.
Wahoo I could finally help being and android noob lol
Hey guys,
Up until today I was using the stock messenging app. I use LPP and custom icons in the dock, and used ADW notfier to show me unread counts on the icons in the dock.
It worked flawlessly with the stock messenging app, but it's not working with GoSMSPro for some reason.
To be make it clearer... I added the messenging app to the LPP dock, then picked my own icon (text based, from the Generation X icon .psd template), and set the stock messenging app as the app to be used in ADW notifier. This worked.
Now I have set GoSMSpro as the shortcut on my dock, same custom Icon, and went into ADW notifier and set GoSMSPro as the app.
That doesn't work. It shows the count on the notification icon in the notification bar up top, but not on the LPP shortcut. I already tried the Chuck Norris mode, and put GoSMSPro on the whitelist, still no luck...
Anybody have ADW Notfier or a similar app working for GoSMSPro launcher shortcuts?
If anyone has ADW Notifier working, please let me know how.
If you have another app working for that, please let me know which app.
Thanks!
Sorry....but ADW Notifier has been a bit of a mystery for me. Got it to work briefly on my K-9 email icon but when I flashed to a different ROM it stopped working, and I haven't been able to get it going again.
Am watching responses to your question to see if I can get some insight.
doesnt work for me either, so i stopped trying to get it work
it used to work only after i "changed" the color of the popup (i.e. click change but use the same color as it was before) but now that doesnt work either. hope somebody can tell me how to fix it. Until then, I've uninstalled it so that it doesnt run as a service
It still works on my custom icons on the launcher dock for missed calls and e-mails (Gmail app), just not with GoSMSPro it seems... I wonder if it's not supported or what..
i think.. GoSMSpro has its own service. I uninstalled ADWnotifier and GoSMSpro has its own notification bubble, not neither phone nor gmail does now.. haha
I noticed that in the notification bar (when i unhide it) it shows a count over the icon up there, but not on my dock icon... This if frustrating. I also disabled the SMS part of ADW to try recreate what you saw, but it still won't show.
Where are you seeing the count now? On a dock icon? shortcut on homescreen? Thanks!
on the dock over the GoSMSpro icon
I just opted to delete ADW and go with Go Launcher and now everything is fine.
Does the GoLauncher also show the unread count for missed calls and e-mails the same way?
OK, I use the widgets I paid for in LPP so GoLauncher is not an option. The main reason I'm using GoSMS is for the "theming." I'm using black theming throughout my phone with red accents to cut down on screen drain, and it just looks awesome. My keyboard is themed the same way, and I hated the way the stock messanging app chat looks, with the blue and green. Is there any way to change that? I looked through the phone files a little bit but can't find the pictures that draw the chat bubbles. And If I found them I wouldn't know how to change the font color... Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I use go SMS pro as well but I use SMS unread count and have no issues with it working with go SMS pro
I tried that, but SMS Unread only works on a widget you create, I'd like for it to show the count on my launcher dock icon/shortcut.
It seems that ADW.Notifier just isn't compatible with GoSMSPro... Because I even tried putting a shortcut to GoSMSPro on my homescreen, and with it in the whitelist with Norriz mode on it still doesn't provide the count.
This is why I now just want to change the theming of the stock messaging apps chat bubbles. Theming and customizing the look is the only thing that draws me to GoSMS, but if using it interferes with my homescreen look/functionality I don't want to use it.
Found somebody who is going to theme the chat bubbles of the stock messaging.apk. Will give me the look I'd like and functioning dock icon notifications.
Thanks for your time guys!
that is similar to SMS unread count for notifications on emails. I dont use Gmail for my emails so this widget is no good for me. Is there a widget that lets you use K-9 Mail?
go launcher + their notification app can count your k-9 mail.

Thanks, but I am using ADW Launcher EX so I was hoping I could just stick with that.
Google have the ability to subscribe to other people calendars and show the colors associated those subscribed calendars.
Example:
My calendar - [email protected] - HOME:
- Red: calendar1
- Blue: calendar2
Work calendar - [email protected] - WORK:
- Yellow: calendar 3
- Green: calendar 4
What I did is subscribe to the "WORK" calendar for my "HOME" calendar, so in my "HOME" calendar it will show appointment from the "WORK" calendar.
I noticed that Samsung S-Calendar apps CAN show the colors I setup in Google Calendar, whether it is the "HOME" calendar or ANY subscribed calendar ("WORK").
However, none of the 3rd party calendar apps I use, CalenGoo, Pocket Informant, etc can do the above. The subscribed calendar will show the same color, whatever it is I choose.
Does anyone know of a 3rd party app that can do what S-Calendar do when it comes to color?

Not sure if it does exactly what you want it to, but I use "Business Calendar" and it colours my subscribed calendars correctly as far as I've noticed. It's all over a great calendar app.
i use huawei p9-al10 Chinese version with emui 4.1, i always use line messenger, facebook messenger. when have a new notification, those icon not show badge of notification. how to fix it ?
I don't get icon notification for any other apps apart for messages, missed calls and email.

Try with Nova Launcher and TeslaUnread. The stock launcher does not support unread counts for a lot of apps.
Is there any way to use standard launcher and to use TeslaUnread or similar app?
