iOS-Like LockScreen Notifications - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Is there anyway to get notifications to show up on CM7's lockscreen (like "Text Message: John Doe")? Or how it is now in iOS5, where you can slide to unlock into that app? Please help!

If you have Widget Locker you can set custom unlock sliders that open into a user defined app.

I want something, like the iOS ones :/

You can use Missedit on Widgetlocker, and it will let you know that you have a missed text, call, email or calender event and by pressing on the notification it will open the app.
It can also be hidden so that it only appears when you have missed something.

Just use gosms or handcent and have the notifications turn the screen on

How do you set it up to only show when you missed something??

I have MissedIt! on my phone (running CM7), how do I configure it to show me texts and such?

Not sure with cm7. I think missed it only shows the number of missed. I know certain lockscreens on miu rom will show the actual message.

What script do I need it to run, so it'll atleast show me the notification.

Download SMSpopup.
You're welcome.

Working on this (see goo.gl/JFTyk) as a personal project. So far displays SMS and missed calls accurately. Using Widget Locker to display the transparent widget on the lock screen. Still need to figure how to swipe an individual notification to open into it.

Can I test that out? It's exactly what I need!

Here's the APK of my alpha release (goo.gl/OFE5v). It won't let you open the notification from the lock screen yet. I'll probably get that working over the weekend (swiping does not appear to be possible in widgets, I'm thinking double-tap). I'll probably make some UI tweaks, and add calendar events as well.
My next release will probably be on the Android Market, and for free since it sure as hell hasn't been tested on any phone other than mine.

MIUI has plenty of iphone lockscreen clones.

@mmrussell Thanks alot; let me know when you're going to put it on the Market, I'll look forward to it!
@sjpritch25 I used to use MIUI, but I just prefer CM7.

This would definitely be nice... My guess is we'll have to wait a few months for CyanogenMod to release Android 4.0 and it'll have most of this stuff. I doubt anything as good as iOS5 lock screen will be out sooner.

Way to make screen come on when receiving Text or email

Is there a way to make the screen come on when a text is received so that one would know who it is from before unlocking the phone? Something like how the notifications on the iPhone light up the screen. I think my hero before this would light up the screen when receiving notifications.
Also I have 2.2 OTA and would like to know if sense can be disabled on this version like it could on the first evo software?
Handcent SMS has that function

And if you want to stay with the stock messaging app, you can use sms popup from the market.

Tasker is a great choice
Another app that does this and a ton more is tasker. I have the app set to only turn on the screen when certain contacts text me.
I hated that with my Touch Pro, increased the amount of butt dialing when it was in my pocket, but to each his own.

Settings > Applications > Manage applications > HTC Sense (or maybe it's called Rosie? Can't remember and running Cyanogen so I can't check). Then clear defaults and force close. Now, when you press the 'Home' button, it will pop-up and ask what launcher you want to use (you need to install another one).
This does not really disable Sense, at least not in any real fashion. But it will get rid of and make unusable all of HTC widgets and such. Sense is still there, baked into the system, but you wont see it.
And yes, this will work whether you are rooted or not.

[Q] Other options instead of slide up/down to answer / ignore?

I hate the slide up to ignore, down to answer "feature" of the EVO.
I'm rooted, and make whatever change needed. It drives me crazy to pull the phone out my pocket and realized I already answered the call w/out seeing who it is, or ignored on accident.
Please assist!
Do search for vanilla lockscreen.
I have it running on Fresh 3.1.0.2 as an update exclusive to Fresh, but I think others have it on other ROMs.

Widget locker is a good one. You can customize the entire lockscreen to your liking. You can even have up to 8 sliders with whatever action you want assigned to them.

Widget locker doesnt appear to change the swipe motion required to answer the phone? And I have the vanilla lockscreen - but that also doesn't change how you answer the phone, it just changes how you unlock it.
Am I doing something wrong here?

There should be a setting in popups I believe. It lets widget locker handle an incoming call. Go to settings then popups.

A couple of very specific questions

Okay first question, is there a way to make it show weather not using my location, on the lock screen? It only always weather in my current location and I don't want gps running all day and it takes way longer to update weather since it's also checking my location.
Secondly, is there a way I can adjust my notification led, such as cm10, it blinks too slowly for my liking.
Thirdly, is it possible to get quick reply while testing, like from cm10 as well?
Fourthly, can I get the notification sounds from cm10 without rooting, as I love ring tones and sms notifications.
On a side note, I love cm10 but hate that it has no task manager lol and I'm not cool with losing s pen functionality.

[Discussion] how many of you use lockscreen widgets?

Hi, just want to know how many of you guys feel that lockscreen widgets are useful and use them. I have never used them till now. Let us know.
Personally, I use dash clock widget with a bunch of extensions. Most of the info I like is all on 1 widget. Missed calls, texts, Google voice mails, weather, battery, BBS, gmail and a few others. As far as other widgets go I also use Google sound search as well as the "my work clock" widget. I can punch in and out without unlocking the phone. Quick and easy:thumbup:
That's really all I use but it all comes in handy I think.
i only use the origin clock

I have one, and it's the camera. I find lock screen widgets annoying.
I never got the utility of the lockscreen in the first place. If your phone is not password/pin/whatever locked, why would you want to touch the screen 1-2 times more just to get to the main screen with all your usual apps/widgets or to the full menu?
And all the info you could put on your lockscreen, you can put on your main screen in a better, more personalized way.
I tried a few times to use a lockscreen (a total of a few weeks over the last 2.5 years), but I always deactivated it after a few days.
Just my 2 cents.
i only use them by accident and that suxx. me wants them gone for good

Dashclock is basically what the lock screen should be all about - an extendable piece of quick info.
I just use dashclock and poweramp. I tried to use calculator but when i was using it the screen turned off everytime. So i gave up.

I guess most of them thinks it's useless. Even I feel the same. I don't understand why Google introduced it.
Probably because they needed to ship some features with the N4 and didn't have much else to present. The whole 4.2 series looks like a cherry picked filler between the JB and next major release.

You have got a point there.

I use Dashclock, the stock camera widget, and a flashlight widget on a regular basis. The lock screen widget feature certainly isn't groundbreaking or anything and it does seem like a bit of an after thought (for example, Dashclock is what the stock clock widget should have been as others have mentioned). I do like the idea and see it as a quick intuitive way for getting to things quickly without having to unlock your phone first. Sure you had the shortcuts on the lockscreen before that would take you directly to the camera and what not but with the lock screen widgets the operation seems a little faster, more stream lined and fluid.
Really though, I don't see why you would want more than 3 lock screen widgets. There is the main home page one that you see whenever you wake up the phone, which most people have either the stock clock widget or Dashclock and is therefore mostly for informational purposes (do you have any new emails, text messages, time/date, battery percentage, etc). Then from there you can swipe to the left or the right to easily get to the other two widgets which are more functional in the sense that you can interact with them (camera, calculator, flashlight, etc.). If you have a 4th one you have to swipe a second time and at that point you have to wonder "why not just unlock the phone in the first place".
i just hate them i use pattern lock and while i try to unlock the screen moves arrfgghh thts soo fukn irritating :banghead::banghead::banghead:

I used to disable them with Lockscreen Policy, then I started using Dashclock.

iOS 8 Like Notifications

Does anyone know of an app that gives you iOS 8 style actionable notifications? I like the ones on the lock screen that allows you to swipe to the right to go into the app or swipe to the left to to reply to text, archive in gmail, ect.

Buy an iphone!!!!!

What's really funny is that crApple is getting credit for the Heads Up notification style that's been in Android for over a year.
Sent from my VS985 4G
Wait for Android L for notifications on the lockscreen. Have tried the Android L dev preview on my Nexus 7 and it is a great feature to have.
For actionable notifications however, there is a headsup notification feature like the poster above me said. You can use an app called HeadsUp to achieve that affect. Another app called Floatifications displays the notifications in a bubble style thing like Facebook Messenger chat heads. You can give it a try if that is your sort of thing.
If you really want notifications on your lockscreen though, try adding a widget to your lockscreen which displays the current notification. Or try DashClock for a similar sort of effect.
nils will do the screen on and swipe to open actions

I use AcDisplay. It's customizable and looks damn sexay!!
Probably not what you're looking for but I'd definitely give this a try. I really love it. Plus it changes if you're commuting or between day and night, etc.

The Notifications in Android are usually actionable. The lock-screen ones are something to look forward in Android L. For any other notifications you can try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.headsup. These are technically baked into Android L but are available now in form of this third party application.
Try LockerPro

I see my girls phone does this but it's retarded cause you still need to unlock the phon3 an open the app lol
Im actually using AcDisplay https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay&hl=pl check it! :good: only u must installed xposed app
