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!
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone has been able to do this on the stock HTC Sense app drawer. I've been looking at tutorials and it seems like they are only for the app drawers with 3rd party launchers.
If anyone has had success in changing the icons, let me know.
Thanks
Well you can change the icons for every app, but you need to do it manually.
So grab the apk change the icon and push it back.
This will take i guess quite some time to do it, and all your hard work will be gone if you have an update for that app.
Maybe an other option is to use MetaMorph, prepare there all the icons you need for each app and then run it whenever you had an update.
Maybe there are already a few themes around for MetaMorph. Don't know about that, not interested myself to change all the icons in my app drawer.
I'm using Darky Rom 10.2 atm and it's just perfect except for one thing. I don't like the samsung style sms app with the text bubbles.
Is it possible to replace that app with the stock android sms app like the one in cyanogenmod 7?
I tried replacing the mms.apk in system\app with the one from CM7 and it works but when I open the settings it force closes. Also the messaging icon isn't in the dock anymore when i replace the mms.apk and I would like to still have that.
Handcent would be an option if the messaging icon in the dock could launch that app. Right now it only launches the default app and ignores all the others.
Thanks in advance for any help.
You could try Go SMS. In my opinion it's the best SMS-app.

Oh thanks that's such an awesome app. Any idea on how I can edit the TWlauncher dock shortcut to launch gosms instead of the samsung styled app?
Edit: figured out how to edit the dock.
One final question, is it possible to edit the icon of certain apps and possibly even the name?
Edit2: figured that out as well,

Stock email app does not work for my work email, so I am using another third party email app. problem is the icon does not fit into my theme. The stock email app icon does. I could replace the icon in the app drawable but when I change theme it does not change with the theme.
So my question is, in the maifest file is there a way to point "android:icon" to some thing like "android.email.icon" instead of default @drawable/icon.png. I would appreciate any other suggestions if it is not possible.
Hi,
Running EMUI 5.1 on Android 7.0 - is it possible to theme third party app icons? I have downloaded various themes with icons for all the apps I have installed, but only the stock apps change. So apps like Facebook, WhatsApp etc never change. I have rebooted, checked the package name for the icon in the theme file and made sure the structure is correct, but still no change.
EDIT: I can get most themed now, but not WhatsApp. There must be another package name it needs.
EDIT: Sorted it now. Needed to apply another theme first rather than just the icons. Not sure why, but seemed to kick it into life.
Thanks.
