Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for a good lockscreen app/widget which shows you SMS and or email without having to go into the launcher? (because of the data on my phone I have to have a pretty secure password which makes it a pain to get into frequently).
tnx

Sms unread count. I use that on my widgetlocker lock screen.

Is it possible to have a lockscreen that works like the slide to new message feature when you get a new message, but instead it just unlocks the phone? I think that is a much nicer method of unlocking the phone than the stock lockscreen.
Hope you don't mind the piggy back onto the thread but as a similar question, is there a way to attach the sliding message bar / notification lock screen onto Go SMS?

Try golocker out! There is plenty of themes to choose from
The only thing I miss about iOS is the ability to preview my txts/emails without unlocking the phone even when I had a password. ICS doesn't allow this unless when you disable security with is obviously a bad idea. Any one knows how to work around this?
Not trolling, but isn't security on your lock screen supposed to protect your information? If you opt to have your info (emails, texts, etc.) displayed on your lock screen, then it renders any security measures on your device useless.
I recently came across an app that did this, but can't for the life of me remember which it was. If it comes back, I'll let you know - but you could always search...
Agree. iOS is unsecured and it is nonsense to display pop-up alerts about my personal notifications while my phone is security locked. If you really want them you may try 3rd party apps like Friendcaster for Facebook and Handcent SMS.
I use widgetlocker. I can pull my notification bar down while the screen is locked and go straight into an app with it. Also you can change the crap out of the lock screen if you want.

I'm using the latest CM9 KANG build and it has support for this.
It doesn't need to display personal information. It only needs to show what types of notifications you have. Personally, I don't care that much if someone reads my new emails. For messages and IM, it only needs to say you have a message from X. The rest of my notifications are not at all personal.
I tried Widget locker but didn't like it.
I'll definitely try CM9.
Thanks!

You can do this with stock locker also..
Indeed, you don't need a custom Rom, third party app, mod, or whatever.
You can just pull your notification screen down when your GN is locked. That is a standard function in ICS.

This only works with slide to unlock, if password code protected you can't drag down the notification bar(which the OP seems to want).

Since I couldn't find a solution I disabled security all together. This feature, especially with slide to costume apps added with AOKP is just too good to not use. I installed avast anti-theft and will lock my phone if it falls into the wrong hands.
BTW I recommend avast mobile security. It's free and has MUCH more options that seekdroid and where's my droid.
Wondering if anyone has a solution to unlocking the screen the way we do with normal SMS and MMS but for Google Voice notifications instead. It would be nice if it didn't require a separate app, more of a tweak or hack is what i'm looking for.
I attached the bubble i'm looking for. An ICS solution would be best

If you're referring to "Davis", that would be the City in which the weather is displaying. The option to display the weather on the lockscreen is in Settings-Display-Weather (Check mark it).
Oh okay so no way to put names on the screen

I'm gonna go ahead and ask, what ROM is this?
And also, I've tried this before on other ROM's, to find solutions to sliders for certain apps (like GVoice) and sadly, all the times I've went researching, the only way to get them was through Widget Locker, or some other locking utility. But anyways, good luck mate.

yup, i had a gut feeling that was the only way. I hope that google eventually codes an api for the stock unlocker so that other apps can start using it. I'm running calkulin 1.6
hello there people
i have a 3rd party locker and im on Atomic GB 7 (same problem on 8), EVEN IF i go to settings>location and security and set the security thingy to NONE ! still when i lock the phone and then on unlock i still get the systme slide to unlock ! THEN after sliding it i get my 3rd part lock app ! please help im pretty frustrated... even tried uninstalling lock screen.apk NO USE !
thanks,

First of all, making your text red and big doesn't make it any better. Actually, it makes actually more difficult to read, because people are used to the regular sized text here.
My recommendation would be to check over the 3rd party lock screen app settings. Which app is it?

yeah i want to bother you when you read... anyway does it really matter ? im using Espier locker :silly: and checked the settings of it..all seems fine but when i lock the phone and relock i get the system lock first
yeah i get this issue to,when i'm using holo locker.I'm using Gin2jellybean.
EDIT:
In Holo Locker there is an option to use it as default but when you lock and fast click home button there is stock again,but if you lock and then after 5 sec it's ok and you can't have Sim lock activated,'cause when you restart your phone you have to put your pin code right away or you'll get no service holo locker doesn't support pin code "window" if you get me.
And yeah when i reboot my phone i get stock lockscreen then holo locker...

Hey guys ..
I'm coming from Sense 4.1 so I have no idea how things evolved through Sense 4+, Sense 5, Sense 5.5, and finally landing to Sense 6. However, I'm missing MANY 4x4 widgets (mail, messages, Tasks, Notes (though the app is absent either), etc.). May anybody tell me where are these widgets?
I'm also missing weather clock full screen animation ... I'm confused!
Thanks!
sense has become much leaner over the iterations, many of those things are just gone now.
you can replace some things with 3rd party apps...

That's a bummer ... I pay HTC for premium build and the mighty sense UI ...
Thank you anyway
Guys! @adiliyo and @ahmedsalahais
Since you brought this!
Does sense 6 still have many modes for locksreen like before? (album photo, Facebook updates, stock, etc...)
If not, does it still at least display all notifications on locksreen (like it did in notifications locksreen type in old sense) or only missed call and message?
Thx!

no, those modes aren't there in the same way as the original sense. much of it has to do with the way lock screens are handled in 4.x you can add lock screen widgets to show many of those things, and in a way it's better this way as you can have multiple lock screens by just swiping to the left and right

Yes but I've read somewhere in here that you cannot delete stock locksreen widget! Instead you can only swipe left of right to get to widgets you've added!
Is this true?
One more thing, if pattern locksreen is assigned, can you still see the missed notifications or you are directly presented to the dots pattern instead when you turn the screen on?
Thx!

I haven't been able to remove the stock screen, but supposedly some people have, which is odd. I'm not sure how the sequence is with a pattern or pin lock as I don't use them...
