Can someone develop a mod to make a messaging and phone counter? I downloaded sms unread count app, but since it adds it as a widget, I can't place it in the tray at the bottom which is quite annoying.
Or does anyone know of an app/mod that already exists?
I believe if you use ADW, there is an add-on that enables unread SMS count.

I like the launcher I'm using, trebuchet. Don't want to deviate from that. I heard about ADW but not interested.
ADW Notifier is the add-on the other poster was referring to. You can use ADW Notifier without using ADW Launcher, I'm using it with Nova Launcher at the moment.
Make sure you enable ADW Notifier in Accessibility settings.
Haven't tried using it with Trebuchet just yet, however.
I'm using nova launcher, need a little help here, i turn on the accessibility, select sms apps and phone apps, but just cant get it work, any hints?

Sorry if this has been asked before. I searched and couldn't find anything.
I bought the Nook Color today and it seems great, but I would love to get rid of the typical android phone dock that auto-installed with launcherpro when I downloaded it from the marketplace. The one with phone, SMS, email.
I haven't gotten side-loading apps to work yet on my Mac, but i'm going to work on it tonight.
The settings for that Dock will be specific to LauncherPro.
I personally use ADW.Launcher, which has an option to totally disable the Dock, or to make it be a single button to open the Apps Drawer.
Thank you. I'll try using it. I basically just want the cleanest dock ever with a few things on it, and then a side page with my apps
Try Zeam. It works the best.. You can configure the dock entirely.
Launcher pro has an advantage in that you can set the grid to 10x10 where in ADW or Zeam the max is 8X8. 10x10 works way better on the nook.
Actually, I fnd that 8x8 works best for launcher pro. 10x10 makes the widgets too small and overflow their their layouts if they were coded in dips rather than px, which most were...

I am currently using di11is5.1. My question is after setting ADW as the default launcher can I remove the others. Just want to free up space. I really like ADW over Launcher, Launcher Pro, and TW Launcher. And to clarify I have already set ADW as default and if uninstalling the others will cause problems then I am OK with leaving them.

Yes you can.
How do I go about stripping the other launchers out. I have reflashed and I am now on di11is5.3 in this ROM other than ADW that I have installed is Launcher Pro, Launcher, and TWLauncher. I want to completely remove them. I have tried to use the manage apps in the settings menu. I have also tried TB. TB does seem to do a little but it did not remove Launcher Pro from the switcher menu.
In Settings, Applications, Manage Apps, I usually go to the "All" option. There, I can find any third party launcher apps I installed. Click on the launcher you want to remove, and there should be an "uninstall" option for the app. The uninstall option doesn't seem to be there for Android stock launchers.
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!
All other launchers based on adw has option to hide icons. But Adw cannot.
Lets say i install several adw icons, they are all on my appdrawer. They are not usefull, i have to hide them. But Adw does not have this option. Why the developer
dont add this option to such a wellknown launcher, anyone know?

Probably when he was a child he attempted to hide a number of icons under his bed, however something went horribly wrong and several thousand people were killed in a horrible zeppelin accident due to his innocent mistake....or something like that.
Seriously, send the guy an email, post on his blog, something...ask him.
However if you have ADW EX you can do a sort of workaround by setting up Groups, and putting all the apps you don't like looking at into a single Group.
I think the developer just wanted it to be this way...kind of trying to be different from other launchers...
as for me, I use Titanium backup to get rid of all those crap software and icons...give it a try.
I use Nova Launcher Prime instead of TouchWiz for my default home screen/launcher. I can't seem to figure out how to get the notification bubbles to work with all apps like Email and Facebook. Facebook had never shown the notification number bubble, email had been buggy. I have installed MissedIt! for use with nova launcher but no luck. I haven't made any changes to the MissedIt! app other than installing it. Can anyone help? I like nova launcher but I would really like my Facebook bubble icon notifications to work as well as others. Thanks.

Have you installed Tesla Unread? That's all I've ever used with Nova and I've never had any problems. (I don't have facebook but the notification bubbles on all of my other apps work fine.)

Tesla Unread is automatically included. it is AMAZING! even shows unread bubbles for my texting app ChompSMS :good:

I use MissedIt! as the unread app. I needed to create the application elements in MissedIt! and now they work as needed. Thanks for the help.
