Hi guys, I would like to know if there is a way to add a widget in the lockscreen that displays the number of unread messages, and leads to them if clicked.
I mean something like on sgs2/3 stock rom (i don't remember if ace's stock had such a feature).
Thank you I'm advance.
PS: I'm on Apocalypse Rom, as my sig suggests!

use "SMS Unread Count" from https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rYW5va2dlbXMuc21zd2lkZ2V0Il0.

Search play store for an app called "widget locker". It is a lockscreen replacement that allows you to design your own lockscreen, adding widgets, sliders etc. then just add one of the widgets suggested above.
let me know if this helped

Isnt the "GO" series generally known for high usage of cpu?
I have only tried GO locker when it was on beta, but not as a daily lockscreen...
Well, it doesn't no difference to my phone...performance and battery life still the same...

Buddy dont use any type of launcher except holo launcher as it saves battery next thing if u want widget for messages go to playstore hit widgets and messeging widget on lockscreen....... Or any lockscreen widget.........well enjoy buddy!!!!!!!!!
Instead of using such widgets i solved my problems with SMS pop-up app (as i wrote before). Very easy and more fast even than widgets!

Sometime, many lockscreen is not support add widget. You can download and install "Widget lockscree" from Playstore.

If you were like me and didn't want to try Widgetlocker because it broke NoLED (or vice versa) both apps have now been updated to work together. And work well they do.
This is my first experience with Widgetlocker and I see what all the praise is about. It really is the perfect lockscreen customizer. I've set up a Sense style lock with themed Android sliders for camera and volume controls. Looks great and the options are endless.
Two of the best app devs have worked together to make my phone much more functional and enjoyable. Big thanks to both. Support them if you can.

Is there a way to fix the issue of the soft keys not turning off after a noled notification?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
How about noled, widget locked, and SMS popup or hancent?
Everytime I get a notification my screen turns on and stays on. I have everything set to do not turn screen on.
Also, my widgetlocker does not keep Widgets. Everytime i reboot they dissapear. Anybody else?
I'm on cm nightlies.

As far as I know no. The dev has said that he doesn't own a NS and it appears to be a hardware limitation of the phone.

Have you tried the delay SMS notifications setting in NoLED? I don't use popups anymore but that did it for me when I was. Not sure how that interacts with Widgetlocker now though.
For your Widgets not sticking did you try to enable to startup option in WL?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
The dev does own a nexus s, he contacted noled to update widgetlocker and have them work together.
Being able to manage the keys would make noled outstanding.
Doesn't noled drain ur battery to have the screen come on for notification til you get to it?

Yeah, I've tried pretty much every combination of NoLED, WidgetLocker and SMSPopup settings and doesn't quite work work together.... :-(
When I'm on system settings my Widgets stay... but when I use my themed Widgets, they keep disappearing.
Something I noticed today. NoLED only seems to work if the default lockscreen is disabled thru Widgetlocker.
Also a few times my screen is on and I get a message NoLED will activate and interrupt me. Not sure if that's a bug or something I've done wrong in the settings.

Im in the same boat beautiful widgets, simiclock, even my power control disappears. Its really making me feel like this was a bad purchase...
Try stock Widgets.... they stay after reboots.

This is the only thing that's keeping me from using NoLED, other than that it would be a kick ass application.

Not as much as you would think. As the majority of the screen is black, and it takes no power to show black (or very, very, negligible) on a SAMOLED screen the battery drain is pretty small. Now, as it is though the Home, Back, Menu and Search buttons also light up which wouldn't help things.
ill try later with the 7 laucher.
OK I am going to try NoLED now.
As far as the Widgets disappearing from WidgetLocker it is due to a conflict with the Theme Chooser in CM7. I have been working with the Dev of WidgetLocker for a little while to diagnose the problem. It was finally confirmed that it is Theme Chooser causing the problem. If you go back to stock theme everything should work fine. Personally I just re add my widgets cause I love my theme
I only have problems with haxzmatics theme... all other themes that come with cm7, the widgets stay.

That is my theme of choice also
Have you tried any other theme that does not come with CM7? I have tried a couple from the market and the widgets disappear with those also.

That's odd. I don't even use any themed widgets. The only one I use on the lockscreen is AgendaWidget
Hey guys, just wondering if there is a way to get the number of notifications listed on the icon like in Sense roms? I am using Typhoon's CM7 rom.
Do you mean a notification icon that says how many text messages you have? If so, you can get gosms or similar text message app from the market. A lot of them do this.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA app
What launcher are you using? If you have ADW, I think you need ADW notifications from market. Same goes for Go launcher. I am not sure about launcher pro.
Adw, then get "adw notifier"
Launcher pro has it already
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
Go Launcher + Go Notifications is another possibility.
If you want a standalone widget you can try SMS Unread Count from market. Works for SMS, Calls and GMail.
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,

And the second picture is what I woud like to have...

It's not an app, it's part of your framework and cannot be changed as easily as u think.
No stock lockscreen will show SMS unread count afaik.
U need to use widget locker or any such app and adw notifier or something if u need the bubble notification on lock screen
Why lockscreen doesn't show up in my CM7??
Hi everyone,
Need your recos and advice re:good lockscreen notifications app. Tried to use Nils but it is not great. I want an apo that will conveniently show missed call/ fb messenger/ whatsapp snd sms notifications on the lock screen of OPO. Help!

Dashclock?
Nice one. Thanks! But I can't figure out how I can add it to the lockscreen of my OPO
I added the widget to of the screens alright but how do I make it show up when my screen is locked? Can you help?
Thanks again!!
Floatify it's nice, although for me was a little buggy
Sad to hear you didn't like NiLS. For me it is the only thing I need
You've probably got both the dashclock and normal clock widget displayed, delete the page with the standard clock widget to always display dashclock.
I haven't used Dashclock for a while as I'm using Mahdi (has built in lockscreen notifications) but I'm pretty sure you need to force full screen widget mode to see notifications.
Upgrade to android lollipop

If you are on KitKat, install Xblast and go to Xlocky to configure lock screen notifications. It actually works pretty good. If you are on Lollipop then this is a stupid question

+1 - NiLS is awesome for me. I guess just wait till lollipop is official for the OPO (inbuilt lockscreen notifications).

If you want a built in solution, it is integrated directly with Mahdi Rom
