Do you use widgets frequently? Are you maybe tired of having to go to the home screen just to take a quick glance at your inbox? You could just open the widget's app, but then you have to wait for the app to open and load.
Widget Drawer aims to take care of this convenience issue by adding a way for you to access your widgets from nearly any app or screen.
When enabled, Widget Drawer will add a handle to the side of your screen. Simply swipe that handle inward and you will be presented with an area to add widgets. This handle will stay on the screen whether you're on the home screen, browsing the internet, or reading a book.
Widget Drawer also provides certain customization options for the drawer itself:
Change the height of each widget
Set whether a widget should take up 1 or 2 columns in width
Reorder widgets
Choose whether or not widgets should have an opaque background
The handle has a few options as well. It can be moved vertically or even to the other side of the screen by long-pressing it and then dragging. The size and color can even be personalized from within the app itself.
Widget Drawer makes use of the following permissions:
SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
- Used to show the drawer over other apps
VIBRATE
- Used to provide haptic feedback for certain actions
FOREGROUND_SERVICE
- Used to start a foreground Service to keep Widget Drawer running
BIND_APPWIDGET
- Used to host the widgets
INTERNET
- Used by Firebase to track crashes and gather logs

Just bought the app, it's a great idea.
However, some widgets could not be found (eg. Greenify). Please check.
Also, please add the function to close the panel by clicking on empty space.
Thanks.
Good idea! I'm currently building a widget myself so it's nice to see people embracing widgets more (And see that it also works with your app yay).
Small suggestion already. Can the handle color be transparant? Should be just a small use alpha = true or something in the color picker. (I'm familiar with the library)
I could not get it to work right, I'm on Oreo 8.1, I got refunded. I am interested so I'll try it again once it comes out of beta.

It'll only come out of beta if bug reports tell me exactly what's wrong.

What do you mean by "not found"?
Great app! Have been looking for something like this for a very long time.
It would be nice if side triggers could be disabled and you can add a shorcut to access the widgets. That way triggers can be assigned to gestures for some of us that use gestures apps
Maybe you can check this discontinued-app functionality, in order to improve yours

OMG! You are fast, bro! As a suggestion, aesthetically would be better if bottom toolbar only appears when the app is open (so widgets aspect can only be edited by acessing the app), and make it go away when the drawer is being accessed either by triggers or shortcuts.
Also the transition from opened drawer to closed drawer when tapping and empty space, has some lag.
Would be possible an option to remove padding?
Thanks for this app!

Cool man, thanks for the fast update!
Another suggestion, please allow 4 icon widgets (shortcuts) in a row.
As you can see one icon is taking up 2 columns at the moment, that's wasting space if you ask me.

Nice idea, this will give the app a cleaner look.
As for landscape mode, if it gets supported, please make it optional.

I can either make each widget span a single column or span all of them. So if the division were four, it would be 1/4 width or full width. Intermediates aren't possible.
First of all, thanks for this useful app, it was exactly what I was looking for, tried a few other before this 1 but they didn't quite work how I wanted.
I have a few suggestions I hope you would consider adding as options in the settings.
1. A scroll bar, I have a few scrolling widgets (e.g. flamingo for twitter), so I need to make sure I use the widget header to scroll through your app.
2. A full immersive setting or a way to minimise/toggle your bottom bar.
3. This ones not essential but would be nice to swipe left or right to close your widget drawer.
On a final note, even though it's working great, I really hope you continue to develope this app, and if it helps to motivate development I think you should consider adding a donate option, since the app price is so low.
Many thanks

1. A persistent scrollbar is a good idea.
2. I've been thinking of ways to allow hiding the toolbar. I guess a small trigger button in the bottom right that is pulled or tapped could work.
3. I'm not sure how well this would work. I'm already doing a lot of hacky stuff just to have scrolling work properly (normally, even non-scrollable widgets would block the overall scroll).
I don't have any plans to stop development for the time being. The price is actually more of a "stop and think sort of thing." I don't want people blindly downloading the app and then getting mad at me because they didn't read the description and thought it was something else.
I'm glad you like the app so far!
This app is great and has amazing utility! I bought it right away when I seen this thread. So far everything is working great except I can't resize the Google keep widget. My other widgets resize perfectly but keep will move up or down instead of resizing. Thank you for the awesome app!

Somehow I can't have the app run at boot complete. I have white listed the app from all battery saving apps and doze. I don't know if it's just me or someone else is also having this issue, but please check. Thanks.

hey, i am so sorry but i thougt i already answered your PM but I guess i missed the send button.
If you still need to use my graphics, I think you are already doing that is ok. If you want the original PSD files then just send me a PM and I will send them to you.
Good luck on the project, I am also willing to help you in any way possible. Skinning and xml coding.

Paul

oh, finally a reply
No thanks, I think we don´t need it any more. Wasn´t too difficult, just the background, the bottom bar and the clock box graphic. I´ll do the rest alone.
Anyway, thanks for your offer, maybe we still need you in terms of coding (ATM, blazingwolf is doing that).

Thanks for the offer of the psd. Those can come in handy. Also, thanks for the offer of help. It is appreciated.
Looks nice..but if possible put the analog clock which shows the WM7 style
keep it on..nice works
yes!!! finally an updated wm7 theme, im really liking the design of the new setup and the way that you are filling up the space between the main plugin and the bottom bar with more useful features, cuz the last one looked kinda empty with only appointments (im running it rite now)
i have some suggestions and i hope you guys take it to consideration....
1- redesigned contacts page (flash if possible)
2- an option to change the clock to analog or digital so everyine is happy
3- the icons in the launcher panel in the main page stand out from the theme in my opinion, i would like to see more wm7ish icons or an option to change them at your will
4- redisign the programs page (the last one were cluttered with too many icons per page in my opinion)
5- add an internet panel in the center of the main page as well (i have in mind a slightly large globe in the left side and 2x2 icons in the right side so it fits nicely)
6- also a music player just like the internet option that can control s2p, wmp, audio manager (album art in the left side, and the controls on thre right side 2x2 play, pause on top, and next, previous on the bottom)
thats what i can think of, but im loving the fact that you are updating my favorite throttle theme and since im happy with the one im running now, any improvement would be great!!!!
Thanx again

1. I, personally, don't like the flash contacts. To much of a pain. We will talk and see what the outcome is.
2. See my above reply to theme freak.
3. What style is WM7 style for icons? Maybe I haven't seen the proper screen shots yet to determine this?
4. What are you looking for here? 9X9?
5. Hmm, something to think about.
6. Music was mentioned above. I don't think Audio manager is possible with Throttle right now though.

thank you for the reply, flash contacts isnt really important but at least a new design, and i mainly want s2p for the music section so audio manager isnt important.
i found an interesting screenshot that can be used as a tab switcher. heres my idea so please bear with me, have the center icon for the homepage where you have the plugin, appointments, and weather display, name the right softkey (contacts) and have the contacts page and have the left one called (start) or (menu) and have a setup similar to the one in the screenshot where you can use the top icons to choose your page by scrolling them horizontally and have the rest of the page to display the page selected
this can include the music, internet, comm manager, detailed weather, mail, sms, and other pages and it would be more comfortable than trying to squeeze them between the plugin and the bottom bar
i wish i could be a more skilled developer so i could help with the theme but since im not, then all i can do is try to give good ideas
thanx again for the project
ohk very nice.. but.. please change the digital clock to analog one.. like paul's wm7 throttle skin
Tag. Looks good.
thx for your replies. I think we´ll make a few different clocks (analog, digital, diamond, etc) so everyone gets what he wants.
A thing I´dike to discuss is the buttons on the bottom.
Should they be linked to pages or apps ?
Should the orb be linked to the home page or should it be customizable?

Martin

The orb is great....
I will like to open just programs and settings pages for buttons.
All linked to pages of course cause it must be a launcher.
Clocks stylish like the windows vista's sidebar.
the squares offers a great seen of the home leave it.
but the weather is small. why dont make an entire page for it?
The icon are for the file "Big ico pack.zip" I like them but get the most aproach to Windows mobile.
Is a great Theme... all i can say is... gooooooood work!!!

Felt like toying around with TouchWiz apps and felt like sharing a few mods of mine. Download the desired apks and place em in your /system/app folder by your method of choice.
All Apps are for FROYO, so only use em if you are on DL30/EB01 or any other Galaxy S Froyo ROM if perchance you aren't a Fascinate user.
Enjoy.
TouchWiz Launcher
-------------------------------------
Based off of GTG's mod of TouchWiz, seeing that in his post he gave up the project, just felt like toying around with it, more versions perhaps to come in the future.
Features
Page-Indicator - Placed on the bottom of the screen similar to TW 4.0, I like using them to zip around homescreens and being the bottom is much more accessible than reaching top. Also fixed their touch area, by default they're biased to the left and it becomes apparent when you space em out more.
Completely removed colored BG images - The BG images that go behind apps in the app drawer, rather than just making them invisible .pngs, completely edited them out of the smali code. I think this is why my App Drawer animations are smoother than GTGs. Will probably upload a version with them later.
Fixed Touch Sensitivity - One of my major issues with GTG's Launchers, they had a lot of bias towards scrolling left and right on homescreens, making TW's scrolling apps a pain to use.
Cleaned up Dock - App titles no longer show up in the Dock and I lowered down the dock both due to the lack of text, and to make space for lower Page-Indicators.
Bunch of minor stuff
3/18 UPDATE
I've finally completed it, after many hours of hard work, frustration at many force closes and force restarts, I bring you my Ultimate Version. This is the base version that will be updated and built upon as future mods come out.
Fixed Force Close Issues - Renaming folders and using Alphabetical List Drawer now work
Removed all lag/stuttering - In GTG Launcher, as was in my older versions, when using 16-bit disabled mode, when in the app drawer if you scrolled fast or pinched you would experience lots of stuttering. I've resolved this issue and now it performs as smooth and responsive as it should be.
Reintegrated Badges - The notification badges for text messages and e-mails (when using TW e-mail) now work. I've also got ALL notifications working, but it requires an add-on app, which I'm still working on and will upload later.
SUB MENU FOR OPTIONS!
The last note is a biggy. When you push the menu soft-key you'll notice that "Search" has been replaced with "Options".
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Try 'em out, pretty self-explanatory, though I'll go a bit in detail on 16-bit mode. 16-bit mode trades image quality for speed, however on/off makes no difference in RAM usage, so it's purely a cosmetic difference. In GTG there was a big difference due to the stuttering in the high image quality version, there is no more stuttering, but animations are still smoother in "Speed" mode. "Speed" mode does not work with Live Wallpapers, I've tried before and weird things happen, if you turn on a Live Wallpaper while on "Speed" it'll switch to "Quality". Here are comparison pics so you can see the difference. Some color, but mostly translucency that gets ruined, I personally prefer Quality (which is the default in stock launcher), but hey I give you the freedom of choice.
Speed vs Quality
Expect more options to appear in future versions. Have at it, enjoy my hard work.
ULTIMATE Version rev.1:http://www.mediafire.com/?x8namgc8jf3blua
ULTIMATE Version rev.1 LANDSCAPE ENABLED:http://www.mediafire.com/?2vrorbl2nxay11k
NOTE: I just noticed, the App Drawer in Landscape mode is messed up, Landscape mode is from the Galaxy Tab TouchWiz, so it's trying to use those dimensions, so I am aware of this issue. Homescreens are fine.
Old Versions for educational/curiosity sake:
Original Version:http://www.mediafire.com/?308vib8szt6ia30
5x4 No Dot Version: http://www.mediafire.com/?l1ps5llggf2ab1c
5x4 Dot Version: http://www.mediafire.com/?ki2m9e7borbmw0d
Probably more stuff to come later.
Music Player
--------------------------------------
I noticed a request to turn off the "Low Battery" interruption of the Music Player, and here it is. Have at it, stock music player that you can continue to listen to when below 10% battery.
http://www.mediafire.com/?b233b7rxc97h2w0
BuddiesNow
---------------------------------
This is the Vibrant's BuddiesNow app, I like it much more than Fascinate's. In addition to the RollerDex view that we have, they also have a Grid View which is much better for accessing contacts and viewing notifications regarding them.
Sped up the Bubble Pop-Up considerably.
Fixed Force-Close errors when not using Vibrant's Contacts apps when checking Missed Call. If you notice any other Force-Closes, let me know and I'll fix it up. This fix is for non-Vibrant users, so if you are on Vibrant, this sped up BuddiesNow may force-close on missed call check.

WeatherClock (Accuweather and improved versions to come later)
---------------------------------
I'm personally a fan of Analog Clocks, and I like the weather clock included in touchwiz. What I don't like is that the weather clock does not have a shortcut to the clock app. So here you are, a simple mod that redirects touching the clock to opening the clock app, if you want to view the weather detail view, that's been redirected to the "weatherbug" text at the bottom of the widget (and from within that view you can touch "weatherbug" to bring up the browser link that used to exist on the widget).
There are 3 versions:
Redirect to Touchwiz Clockpackage.http://www.mediafire.com/?go2dc0ezhvew7re
Redirect to AOSP Deskclock.http://www.mediafire.com/?42j315aazb7aa9b
Redirect straight to Alarm of AOSP Deskclock.http://www.mediafire.com/?cabchmb6bwbnmea

I probably will when I've got some more stuff done.
Btw, uploaded some more modded TouchWiz Launchers.
well done...as always
Very nice work. This might be a stupid question, but is there anyway to get some of the widgets, such as Buddies Now to work in Launcher Pro, or are they specifically linked to TouchWiz?
Loving the 5x4 app drawer! It just keeps getting better. Keep it coming. Awsome work!

Any chance of removing thw home page selector dots when not scrolling between homepages? Like the original TW. Or just moving the page icons back to the top? Id just switch back to TWGTG but I like the app icon in the middle of the dock

Well actually, whether the dots are permanent or not is a feature of unmodified TWs, like the Eu i9000 always has theirs there, while for fascinate and the Mesmerize's TW, they disappear over time. The smali code I'm using does not have the functions to hide them over time.
If you like the center app icon, it's a pretty simple change. Take your desired GTG apk and open it with 7-zip or your choice of zip opener. Go to res/drawable-hdpi and replace "mainmenu_icon_application.png" with the one found in mine or any stock TWlauncher.

TouchWiz Launcher actually does show Bubble Notifications like what you describe, problem is you need the right TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and BadgeProvider.apk combination. This TouchWiz30Launcher doesn't seem to work with the BadgeProvider that comes with the Fascinate, I'm trying to find out which one does and when I do I'll upload the right BadgeProvider. Or, I'll try changing the code and see if it works...

(Seeing as there's no General Thread for tablets, I've re posted this here.)
Hey guys I finally ported my "hubs" set up to Android Tablets and I have to say its 10x smoother on our 1.0 ghz dual core device. The general idea of "Hubs" is to create a dedicated screen for each piece of media/productivity while providing a visual eye candy. "Hubs" is easy to emulate, and even easier to create your own style. Despite the lengthy tutorial, its actually easier than it seems. The fun part comes with setting up you layout!
What you'll need:
Main
Adw Launcer EX
Launcher Pro Plus
Multi Live Wallpaper
Minimalistic Text
Simple Text
Optional
Pulse (for widgets)
Cowon Clock/ BobClock Widget
Mizuu Movies
Launcher Pro Plus (Widgets)

WALKTHROUGHADW Launcher Users[/U][/B]
-To remove top bar-Press and hold and empty area on your home screen then click on "Launcher Actions" > "Hide/Show Action Bars"
-Enable Widget Overlapping-"Menu"> "ADW Settings"> "UI Settings" > "Screen Preference"> Check "Overlap Widgets" in the Advanced Settings Tab
-Increase Retail Space on your screen-"Menu"> "ADW Settings"> "UI Settings" > "Screen Preference"> Increase the desktop "Rows" and "Columns" in the "Desktop Layout" Tab.
Launcher Pro Plus Users- while not optimized for 3.2, it still runs perfect.
-Increase Retail Space on your screen-"Menu"> "Preference" > "Homescreen Settings" > Increase the "Number of columns/rows" in the Homescreen Grid.
-Remove Icons From Right Dock- Hold your finger on the icon you wish to remove> "change shortcut"> "Blank"
*You may add screen transitions for each launcher if you wish, however my advise is to leave it at default as you can set transition for Multi Live wallpaper. Doing both launcher and MLW will make your screen look "too busy" IMO.
To set the "Bars" (Titles for "Home", "Music", "Movies" etc.)
Minimalistic Text
-To set title- Press and hold a free space on the screen > "widgets" > "Minimalistic Text" (size may vary per style however I use either 4x2 or 6x1 as long as its horizontal > ensure that "background color" is checked > "Predefined Layout" > "Custom" > "Custom Layout" > Click on the plus sign > "Misc" > "Static Text".
-Black Bar Tutorial click here
Wallpapers
-Set up - Load up your wallpapers on your sd card/internal memory and placing them into seperate folders and name them based on the images (ex. Music, Movies, Games etc)
- Long press an empty screen on your homescreen > "Wallpapers" > "Live Wallpapers"> "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper"> "Settings"
- For each "Screen _ Settings" Select the picture source as "Picture Folder" and navigate it to point to your corresponding homescreen.
- Additionally you make select the screen transition here that reflects your particular taste. You may also set a default wallpaper for your lockscreen.
Despite the dozen of widget on the homescreen and live wallpaper, battery use is minimal.I have provided wallpapers below to help you get started.
NAVIGATING BETWEEN HUBS
There are two methods in which you can navigate to each individual homescreen.
Method one: Prior/Alternate way for navigation text was achieved using this methodby trekkie0927. Using invisible icons in tandem with minimalistic text can make it easier to flip to each hubs. Please rate/comment his video.
Method two: I found a great alternative to Minimalistic Text in terms of using the text buttons to jump from one screen to another called Simple Text. Since it's only an icon and not a widget, it consumes no memory and provides a great minimal look.
User AcIdC0R3 has posted a great tutorial. (Please thank him!)
Make sure you have ADWLauncher EX
Go to the market and install Simple Text
Long press on the screen and select 'Custom Shortcut'
'Pick your activity', select 'Launcher Actions'
Choose which screen you want, 1 - 5 or 1 - 7 if your using seven screens
Click on the picture of the 2 screens side by side
Select 'ADWTheme IconPacks' and select 'Simple Text'
Select the grey box named 'Simple'
replace the word 'Simple' with whatever of your choosing like 'Video' for your video hub or 'Social' for your social media hub and so forth
Adjust your text size, Y and X coordinates, your shadow settings etc.
Click the little blue 'A' in the top right side of the screen and select your font (more on fonts further down)
You also have the option to select the color wheel next to the 'A' and adjust your text color
Select the menu icon on the task bar at the bottom and select 'Save Style' if you want to keep what you created for later use as well.
Click 'Save Icon' which will create your icon for you
Back at the black edit screen remove the text from the text field and click OK
You should now have a custom text icon that will activate whichever screen you chose for it. You can click any app icon on your screen and follow the same procedure for your apps so all your apps also have text icons.
[FONTS] In a file manager go to /sdcard/Simple Text/ and create a folder named 'fonts' (that is plural with an 's' at the end). Next go to somewhere like dafont.com and download you some kewl fonts and place them within that 'fonts' directory you just created. Now when you go into Simple Text to do your editing you will have more fonts to choose from.
That's all there is to it.
You can also work with layers within the creation of your Simple Text. Notice below where I created a new layer, rotated my new text layer and intersected where both words have the letter 'E'.
However you may notice that simple text does have it's limitations:
Icons can only be 1x1
Works best on adw
No way to resize; it is only an icon after all.
Miscellaneous
ISSUE: You may experience widget being placed "behind" the black bars. If so try this method provided by user SwiftLegend
1. Put the widgets/icons you want on TOP of the blackbar FIRST. You need these before anything.
2. Select a Minimalistic Text Widget, I usually use 1x1. Clear out the text options (Predefined layout > Custom, delete all of the things there)
3. Once you're back at your homescreen and see the MT Widget, just long press and re size it to your liking.
You HAVE to make sure that whatever you want on TOP of the blackbar is put on the screen FIRST. Anything put on after will go underneath.
ISSUE 2: Users have reported that Minimalistic Widget refuses to post/ show up on the homescreen.
1. Turn your tablet into portrait mode.
2. Add the widget whilst staying in portrait mode as you apply you designs.
3. Rotate back to landscape.
ISSUE 3: You can no longer take full advantage of the screen real estate using adw ex (particularly the corners)
1. Recent update kills the use of every inch of the screen. In his attempt to emulate ICS, anderwebs made the edges of the screen inaccessible.
2. Revert back to an older version (1.3.3)
here's the original layout from the nook color if you guys are interested on putting this on your homescreen HERE
and here it is in action HEREhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8DxCVzARfE&fmt=38

I can't get Multipicture to work. I have my wallpapers in path: sdcard/DCIM/Wallpapers
Within that Wallpapers folder I have 5 folders. Each folder is named and contains one wallpaper image. I go to set the live wallpaper and point each screen to it's corresponding folder and when I click set I don't get anything. I get a black screen telling me I have to set it up in settings. It's frustrating because I can't for the life of me figure it out. Did I put the images on the wrong path? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Try placing the folders in the root of your sd card

I was advised a few weeks back that the full sizes of the first versions of these icons - pretty much what's seen in the sample layout below the version pics in this post - are too small when applied using DVR in certain setups. All versions except the pink are up and resized. Also in progress is a DVR TUT, stay tuned. These newly bigger ones look best at a 2 row 1 column ratio, and the DVR option you select for widget size - 2x1, or 4x2, or 6x3 - should be closest to the display size you want in advance. Resizing am icon from 2x1 to a 4x2 will stretch the image, but selecting 4x1 and expanding it 1 row will do the trick for a larger icon. Please let me know if this makes sense
Here's V1.2: grey toned buttons with colored glyphs. Contains the same icons as V1.1R
V2.1R & 2.2R
V4.1, .2, & .3: White, Color, and Smoked Glass

Please post your screens or links to them - I'd love to see what you've done with the icons
On applying the icons: I use a photo editing program to put the icons on whichever screens I'd like, directly on the wallpaper. Not only can I then space the icons however I please, but this also allows for different wallpapers on different screens.
One of the easiest ways to apply whatever icons you'd like (without a computer, or on your phone) it to use Desktop Visualizr: these icons will come out best at 2 rows wide by 1 tall, depending on your layout. I am in the process of writing a very in depth TUT on doing so for a variety of setups, so please stay tuned Here are the very basics
1. You can save the icon image(s) to your SD card and apply it as a widget anywhere on the screen. 2x1 works best. Long press, choose DVR 2x1, select the image on the prompt, and selection the app/action that corresponds to it.
You can apply the icons to wallpaper via photo editing, then simply use transparent .png pictures to put your shortcuts/apps in the areas over the paper using DVR.
Here are some tutorials and discussions: click, clicky, click, clicky, and click.
If you haven't seen PaulMZ's Windows Phone theme for Android over at Android Forums, his first post gives a huge amount of great info on Desktop Visualzr and image editing for custom icons on your homescreen.
To use different wallpapers on different screens, there are two applications I know of to do this, both free on the market: MultiPicture LiveWallpapers and Super Wall Lite. I prefer Super Wall because it hogs less memory and it MUCH more stable in my experience. Please ignore the bad ratings: those were given by users who were not informed about how to apply the super paper: you must access the app via the 'Live Wallpapers' setting on your phone; the same is true for MultiPicture.
There is another benefit in using 'panoramic papers' of Super Wall- that is, one extra wide paper styled to use on mutliple screens. In MultiPicture, however, you must apply one paper to each screen. Since I am always changing screens, and can often be testing icons and themes on 7 screens at one, I prefer the ease of Super Wall in just making one big paper to span all the screens.
If you aren't familiar with a lot of image editing practice, I am glad to apply the icons to a paper of your selection - just post the paper and which icons you'd like applied, along with your phone's resolution/model and your layoud grid for columns and rows.
If you like what I have done and would like to show your gratitude, Leo is pretty hungry...

The font closest to what I used in the V1 icons is Jersey M54- click here to download from DaFont.
The font for the serif tiles is DejaVu Serif Condensed.
The best way to make 'live' tiles, frankly, is to apply the icons to your wallpaper, then put whatever text widgets you'd like on top. You can put the icon down as a widget using Desktop Visualizer then apply another text widget on top if your home launcher supports 'overlapping widgets' during customization. This will work...or it won't. Often, people say it works until the phone is rebooted - then presto, chango, the widgets are unstacked.
I am sure that some of you have mastered 'make your own widgets' like Chronotopia or M-clock, and can then use the icon as the backdrop with the desired text on top - I hope to give these or other similar apps a try in the near future, but I myself find it preferable just to mess with the wallpaper
There are blank email, gmail, call, sms, calendar and clock icons enclosed within all versions.
I have used SMS unreadcount mods on all the tiles- the easiest way is to apply the icons to your paper, then put a transparent icon for the SMS unreadcount bubble. I have done the same with ADW Ex notification bubbles, using ADW Ex to make the icon for the gmail/phone/sms icon a blank image over the top of the paper. I am glad to help out with this process

Sorry, I was just updating the thread with another color scheme and instructions.
Basically they icons are:
1. png's to apply to your wallpaper in a photo editor - put them wherever you want, then use transparent icons/shortcuts/widgets on top - a lot of people use Desktop VisualizR to do that.
2. Apply with Desktop VisualizR using the images as the actual widgets; you can use any image to as a widget/shortcut. This limits the size of the icon to whatever your grid layout is for you screen. So if your grid is a vageuly squarish setup - like 4 columns by 6 rows - then the image would be resized to fit in this space. That means you're somewhat restricted on how closely you can place icons/images together, and where they can go on your screen. That's why I personally use method 1.
3. Also, some home launchers (like ADW) will let you replace default icons with your own images. This has the same restrictions as 2.
I promise to do a step-by-step and link TUTs for this by tomorrow with screen shots.
In the meantime, I am happy to apply the icons to a wallpaper of your choice if you are familiar with using Desktop VisualizR- that allows you to put transparent shortcuts on top for anything you want. I would need your paper, grid layout, and phone model/resolution.
Come back soon for more, sorry for the delay MP

The NotiList Widget shows the latest (3 atm, to bad but scrolling widget is not possible) arrived notifications in a 4x4 widget, for now taping a widget shows the Text Message (Aka Line 2 in the widget)
If I manage I´ll try to launch the official Notifications app straight into the chosen message, or even better, manage to make it read (by the system) just by taping it. Don´t know if any of these goals are reachable though.
So what does the Gear community think? Shall I continue with this or am I just wasting my time?
I´ll release it anyway...
Note, This will probably merge into NotiCounter in the future, but if I release a beta I´ll keep em separated for now...

Please report bugs!
Cool!
Why is a scrolling widget not possible?
I use Simple Calendar Widget on my Gear and can scroll up and down through several days worth of events.
Or, do you mean auto-scrolling?
Manual scrolling is better anyway, IMHO.

I really like this idea ! Great proof of concept.
I would use this no doubt, this could even replace unread notification count, I would much rather use this.
SUGGESTIONS:
Configurable unread notifications or all notifications.
Configurable amount of notifications, for example the last 5.
Configurable border & text color.
Scrollable view.

Yeah the Gear itself supports it, no problem there.
Problem is I´m developing my apps with Basic4Android and it´s not supporting scrollable widgets.
Haven´t gotten the time to teach myself Eclipse yet so I stick with this for now

Yeah I´ll use this widget on one of my Home screens not mather what the community thinks
Just wanted to know how much work I would put on configurations.
I can manage the first three suggestions, but as I said above, scrollable widget is not possible atm.
Is the size good enough or should I make is bigger?

I think this should be a 320x320, although perhaps a few widget sizes could be considered also ?
Why is a scrollable view not possible ?
I always thought it was a matter of declaring elements in a scrollview tag.
This is for your consideration.

I´m aware of the Scrollview class, the whole config for NotiCounter is based on that. No problem to attach to an Activity. Problem is that it´s not possible to add an Scrollview to an Widget as it´s not supported by Basic4Android:
http://www.basic4ppc.com/android/forum/threads/scrollview-in-widget.34011/
There may be a chance to add this if I create the base in B4A and then decompile the genererated APK, import the source to Eclipse and change the necessary files. I´ll give it a shot.

Should be a matter of just editing the layout, does B4A support layouts etc ?
Is it the same file structure as android ? Or does it generate all of that for you ? Not familiar with B4A you see..
Regardless tho if you need a hand give me a yell.

Yes it supports layouts for both Activities and Widgets, however widgets only supports some viewtypes:
Widgets do not support all views types. The following views are supported:
- Button (default drawable)
- Label (ColorDrawable or GradientDrawable)
- Panel (ColorDrawable or GradientDrawable)
- ImageView
- ProgressBar (both modes)

So it´s got nothing to do with the actual layout.
The generated file uses the same file structure as APKs created by Eclipse, so if I reverse enginere the APK I should be able to import the source in Eclipse and add the scrolling afterwards..
Or maybe someone else can help us with it if I don´t pull that part off.

Interesting,.
Perhaps a scrollable listview: here.
Anyway, enough about scrollviews listviews and all the rest of the views, will deal with that when we get there hehe.

Dang I'm out of town for a few days and wham. More awesome things going on. Cant wait to get back home and start checking this out. looks very very promising. Keep up the great work. Loving NotiCounter, Cant wait to use this.
So i turned off the dock on Nova Launcher and its a lil better but the top part that says "Manual Refresh" is cut off....what are you other guys using to get the whole thing to show...like grid size or laucher?

It will only fit on a full screen ie without dock and notification bar at top of screen (full system ui). Use nova to hide both.
I sometimes get a force close. It happened after I deleted all messages and pressed manual update.

True, I´we not added some check for how many items there is in the notification db yet. It purely just pick the last 6 items, if theres less than that, an FC will be the result.
Fix is on the ToDo-list.
App Updated to v0.3b!
