using a different launcher while on sense based rom - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i noticed when i first installed nova launcher that i would not get the unread count on the icons on the lockscreen say when i got a text or something. but now for some reason i do get the notification badge (but it doesnt always stay updated, says 1 even though i already opened the message)
so basically my question is, is sense kinda still running in the background when im using nova launcher? is it technically not supposed to show the notification badge when im not using the sense launcher like when im using nova launcher instead.
can anyone with nova launcher confirm with me if they still get the notification badges on the lockscreen if you are using a sense rom?
thanks

How to get # notification on text and mail icons for Gingerbread roms?

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.

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

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.

[Q] ADW Notifier, LPP, & GoSMSPro

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!

Nova Launcher lockscreen

Hi,
using Nova Launcher I configured Icons on the bottom quick launch tray.
On Lockscreen the icons are still the ones configured for the sense launcher.
They change only after unlocking the phone.
Any ideas?

You have to go back to the sense launcher first and do it that way, once back on nova launcher they will show up on lock screen.

It's because the lockscreen is being controlled by sense and your home screen by Nova. Two different beasts

Ok.
Installed Home Switcher,
changed to Sense Launcher,
configured Quicklaunch same as Nova Settings
changed back to Nova.
Experience is now not the same but quite similar.
But didn't understand: Why is the lockscreen always sense and not Nova???
Because you have just put a launcher on the phone and not done anything to your lockscreen you are still using the sense lockscreen so it will be based on sense still.

Nova isn't a lockscreen, its a launcher
Get Holo Locker to get the stock lockscreen for Nova.
OK, hope to understand: lock screen is one app, launcher another?
But shouldn't it change to Nova launcher when using a quicklaunch icon then?
The behaviour I see is that using a quicklaunch icon from lockscreen starts sense launcher,
Back button stays in sense. Lock and Unlock again is sense. Changes to nova
first time i press Home. Could call it a feature: Can easily get blinkfeed under nova
this way

those five icons on your lock screen are just shortcuts that mirror the five icons on your SENSE launcher. So regardless of what icons you have there using NOVA launcher, the lock screen will still show what's on the SENSE launcher.
So if you want to change the icons there, go back to using the sense launcher and change the five icons to the ones you want, then go back to using nova.
lockscreen widget issue
I have a galaxy s4 verizon, rooted, running gummy rom, launcher3 is preset in the rom and I downloaded Nova launcher. There is a yahoo weather widget on my lockscreen that I cannot find any settings for in either launcher or rom settings. It is registering temp in celsius and I need farenheit, haha. Any suggestions? Thanks

Notification bar too slow

My notification bar is hidden while in lockscreen but when i unlock my phone it takes a second to appear in homescreen. In addition i have set the notification bar to transparent and it takes an other second to turn transparent. Its so annoying, can i fix it somehow?
Im running Revolution HD 12.2 with Nova Launcher and Widget Locker
It's a "bug" of the stock rom, and it's also in the ARHD.
For example, i'm on Viper, and i can use the black statusbar, so i don't have this bug
so there is no way to fix it?
ribow said:

You can try to theme the statusbar to dark and see.
In ViperOne, with a black statusbar, there isn't the issue.
Can you link me a statusbar?
Just installed StatusBar+ didn't work out. Someone an idea how to fix this?
Mine dosnt do that. It might be because of 1 of your apps
I got Widgetlocker and Novalauncher Prime. Also tested Apex Launcher but didn't work either. No solutions?

It's the launcher causing the problem.... ARHD 12.2 with sense launcher does not have this issue
Any suggestion for other decent Launcher?

Nova Launcher and Notification Bubble Icons

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.)

This right here.
The unread plugin will solve your problems op

oh what the hell, i never knew about this and just because i saw this i went ahead and bought Nova Launcher Prime.
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.
