hey guys.
i'm looking for a widget i can use with widgetlocker to either
1) have two 1x1 widgets each showing me a count of unread sms and unread emails (not gmail, k9 mail inbox)
OR
2) have a 4x1 widget that lists both sms and emails as they arrive
SMS Unread count gets pretty close to #1 but only works with GMail. any suggestions?
Check out Executive Assistant. It has a 4x1 widget that is exactly what you are looking for (even supports Exchange email). In fact, I liked it so much I dumped Widget Locker and started using the EA lockscreen instead (it's a lot less buggy).
SMS Unread Count.
Edit: Nevermind I saw you had SMS Unread count.... I haven't found anything else either....

i'm trying Executive Assistant and it seems to work. what sucks is i can't have two 1x1 icons with sms on one and email on the other. no matter what size it is, it will always show whatever apps i tell it to. so a 1x1 icon has sms and email just like a 2x1. problem with that is i can't put them on either side of battstatt...ahhh
I'm using SMS Unread Count + the email widget from CM6 for this exact purpose.

No idea, sorry. You may want to check the CM thread and ask. I'm really surprised there isn't another third party option.
well i think the best i can do is use SMS Unread Count for SMS and Executive Assistant for emails. let me try it out and i'll post a pic if it works out.

How did you get your lock screen like that ? CM6 ? I've been looking for something like that for a long time for my lock screen - weather, time, and all..
that's using WidgetLocker....
i give up. executive assistant had difficulties connecting to hotmail...and on top of that it has a smaller icon than SMS so they dont match up (i switched the icon .pngs for both but executive assistant shrinks down the icon within the widget space).
any other suggestions? i just need a widget to pick up number of unread emails. preferably would allow me to click and open K9 mail.

YES!
ripped it from CM RC 6.1 and installed it. it works as a standalone email app that actually works with Hotmail!
and it provides me with a lockscreen widget that actually works and updates with Hotmail!
i'm attaching the .apk for anyone who wants it...
use this + sms unread count and you have both
Won't work on HTC Legend!

Is there an app or widget that can display the text message you last received on the widgetlocker lockscreen?
As you guys know, with the Sense UI lockscreen if your phone is locked and if you receive a text it will show you who sent the text, what time they sent it and a line of text what they said on the lockscreen. Widgetlocker does not do this and I talk to the developer and he said there are tons of apps on the Market for this but I cant seem to find any (he's not for sure if he's gonna add a last message received option on the lockscreen anyways).
Can you help, I really miss this option (and a native music app on the lockscreen as well).

Not sure what version you're using. My suggestion is contact the dev. I'm using a beta version that lets you "hide" sms so my impression is that in upcoming versions this may be working.
The dev's website is:
http://teslacoilsw.com/
I have the latest version, 1.26, there is an option to hide 3rd party SMS apps but for the native Sense UI there is no options to show. Thats what I'm using native Sense UI for all my text messages. I have talk to him but he doesn't really have plans to incoroprate it (or not high on his priority list for future WL updates).
My only suggestion and then I'm going on my way, contact kevin from teslacoilsw
He's pretty good about responding.
Thanks.
Any others can help?
Messaging widget. Throw one of those on there. That's what I did. Works great. Then you can reply to it whenever you want. Right on The lockscreen

Hi, can someone please recommend me a good pda type app that I can use for keeping track of appointments and other things such as daily task and just things in general that I don't want to forget. I'm a student and would like a way to keep track of my assignments and tests that I need to study for. Right now I have astrid tasks and use that but I'm not too happy with it. I would like it if it would remind me ahead off time of sn upcoming event but it doesn't have that functionality. I would also like for it to sync with a calendar app. What are your recommendations? I would also like a full calendar widget that lets me view all of the months events on there respective days right on my home screen. I have jorte right now.
again, here's what I'm looking for:
-assignment manager for school for homework and tests
-daily task manager with reminders before the task is due
-calendar app that has a widget that allows for viewing of the entire month and each individual days activities right from the home screen

I use gtasks, it syncs with google calender, well the task portion of google calendar anyway, has a coule kick butt widgets. It also has the ability to alert you, you can set time and date of task and how far ahead to alert you. if youd like screenies let me know. In the Market under GTasks by Dato, has both free with ads, (ads are only in the program not on the widget) and a paid version.Give it a shot it works great.

Thanks, I have GTasks but I was looking for a calendar app that will give me a reminder before the actual even is scheduled to take place like a couple days or hours before. Not one that I have to go and look at the calendar to see what's going on for that particular day.

My GTasks does that, on the particular task just click on "Due Date" its on the upper right corner of the task itself, gives you an option to add a due date and then a reminder you can set for whatever you want, I think the only limitation is that the reminder only lets you set a time for the day you have set as the actual due date. Sorry couldn't be of more help.
what about Pure Calendar widget? It syncs with my gmail calendar and allows for a ridiculous amout of customization

Hi all, I have been spending the last couple of days getting my SGS2 setup and I am very pleased with the Juggernaut ROM all except a few minor things.
I am coming from an HTC HD2 running an HTC Desire based ROM. I really liked Sense and the widgets it came with. I see a lot of alternative launchers out there to replace TouchWiz on the SGS2, but has anyone ever tried to put Sense on one of these?
What I specifically miss about Sense and my old ROM is
1.) The calender widget - It was simple and automatically integrated with Facebook so I could see everyone's birthdays in the month view. I was surprised to see that the calendar widget that came in the Juggernaut ROM didn't do this. I have been all over the market searching for a widget that would do this, but have found none.
2.) The SMS widget - It was simple and made it very easy to navigate message threads from one of my home screens. Beautiful Widgets Pack 2 has a widget that is close to what I want, but it is not the same.
3.) The SMS threading - The Juggernaut ROM uses an SMS threading system similar to the iPhone message bubbles (yuck!). I would really like to change this to almost anything else, mostly so my GF doesn't say my SGS2 copied her iPhone
Don't consider these things complaints, they are just things I would like to have changed to my liking and I was hoping someone would point me in the right direction.

Yeah, I tried that one already, but it does not get the birthdays for Facebook. It has an option to display birthdays, and I have it selected, but the birthdays still don't display. I don't care so much what the calendar looks like (that one does look nice though) as long as it is a month view and displays Facebook birthdays.
Update:
I got the default calendar working with Facebook. Even though I had my Facebook account setup on the phone, it was not setup on the calendar. Once I put it in all worked as I had wanted.
Android pro Widgets is the best way to get sense like Widgets. You can use it with any launcher that supports scrollable Widgets. Not sure about Facebook Calender sync though . Never tried it
I just tried this you can sync Facebook event calendars with google calenders. So that's pretty nice.

Also there are several SMS replacement apps in the market. I use handcent.
Like panda said these things you listed have nothing to do with Juggernaut and everything to do with touchwiz and samsung.
I would suggest the complete ICS theme on it. Biggg difference

Working on a new home screen. Trying to find a widget that displays notifications for the following:
Essential:
Sms
Missed calls
email
Not as essential:
Facebook
twitter

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
The widget needs to open the application too.
Similar to how the iPhone works.
Try "SMS Unread Count".
There is also MissedIt: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sIm5ldC5pZ2VjZWxhYnMuYW5kcm9pZC5NaXNzZWRJdCJd and Executive assistant+ :https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5hcHB2ZW50aXZlLkV4ZWNBc3Npc3QiXQ..
I, personally use MissedIt.
other option
you could also try ADW Notifier.
I bought missed it earlier, can't find where to put the transparent .png on my sd card though. The directory isn't there.
I use launcher pro plus but the ADW Notification seems to be spot on what I am looking for.
EDIT: Just tried ADW, doesn't support more than 7 grid landscapes. That's what I am using. So back to square one.

For MissedIt you don't need any .png image, just play with settings, there is an option to make transparent background, just have fun with it.
Worked with go launcher and go launcher notification:
Thanks for the help.
The ultimate way is minimalist text, a free App from market, but to display missed call u will need taskers a paid an must have App, it can display the name, number of the last incoming n outgoing call
As u can see in the screen shot :"raju" is the name of the incoming call click on it n u either directly call the person or show call log

I just installed K-9 email client and like it a lot. The only problem is that it doesn't seem possible to put it's unread count widget into the dock. I can put other widgets in the dock, but not this one. Is there any way around that or another widget I could use of that sort that would go in the dock?
I'm not rooted, stock, no launcher. If there is a launcher that would accomplish this, I'd consider it, but otherwise the stock works for me.
You could definitely try Apex launcher.
Okay, I've installed Apex Launcher, purchased Apex Pro, installed Apex notifications, but still can't figure out how to get an icon for K-9 unread mail into the dock.
I see that I can have the K-9 unread count show on either the email icon or the Gmail one, but then tapping on the icon opens those apps not K-9. I have missed something?
Please explain how to do this.
TIA
Okay, I've found the Apex setting to allow widgets in the dock and have put the K-9 unread email widget there. That works; but the icon is so ugly and smaller than the other ones in the dock. Long press doesn't give any edit settings for it. Any way I can get this working with a nicer icon?
Nova prime had the feature and you can change your icon to anything you want.

That works for other icons, but the K9 icon doesn't have the choice of edit on a long press.
