[Q] [REQ] SMS unread widget to open GO SMS

I am using the SMS unread count widget and i like this app a lot. but i would prefer to launch either GO sms or handcent sms whenever i launch the app, instead of launching the stock SMS.
I've tried to clear default from stock SMS but there is still no option for me to select the program which i like to set as default.
any idea on this??

use go launcher ex and this get go launcher ex notifier, just seems like a very easy way to do what u want the way u say u would like it and it seems the 2 would compliment one another as well.

i want to know as well... i tried to clear the default app but strange thing is for stock Messaging "default" is greyed. so i can't even clear it..but i would like to open GoSms through sms unread count :s

Anyone? Use SMS Count to open Go SMS so we can get an SMS counter on Widgetlocker screen, but use Go SMS as primary SMS.

Having the exact same problem... Also tried Missed it, but the same thing happens...

Seems this widget has other issues if you read the reviews. I have handcent and it has its own widget that does basically the same thing I believe. Just shows the icon with a number of unread messages? I am betting Go SMS has its own widget too but wouldn't know as I don't use it.

True, I use Go SMS, and its widget, but I'd prefer SMS Unread Count for its ability to pick any icon... The Go SMS widget has a choice of three integrated icons which I'm not really fond of...

Lock screen sms

hi my friend has a htc desire, and when they receive an sms it shows the whole message on the lock screen....
is there a way to disable this?
Kind regards

You can "disable notifications", but that defeats the purpose.
I really can't remember a setting for "display content".
Bump?

on stock rom it is not possible.
if you would use for example RcMixS or InsertCoinS there is an option to use stock android lockscreen which doesnt show the message content.
other possibilieties are 3rd party messaging application like handcent or go sms. you can customize them the way you want

[Q] Unread SMS Count on Handcent Icon?

Is there a way to put an SMS count on the Handcent icon? I use widgetlocker, and one of the swipe bars goes to my Handcent app.

...
I've been using Handcent for 2 years now, and I've always had an unread message count at the top whenever I've had unread IMs.. of course this may not be what you're asking about?

I believe you're talking about the iOS style unread notifications directly on the app icon.
If that's what you're talking about, I know that GO Launcher has an add-in that does this for the stock app and GO SMS. Whether it works for Handcent or not, I could not tell you; GO is better, anyway.

SMS Window For Lockcreen. *Edit* Get SMS Wakeup!

Is there something I'm missing? Why does htc not include an sms window for the lockscreen?
Tried sms popup which worked on previous htc's, but with ics has some weird issues. Shows blank window, and once closed keeps opening other messages on lockscreen.
Go sms pro works fine, however the lockscreen window has such a small font, you can barely read it.
Handscent is an app that has mixed reviews.
What are some other options to display an sms window message on the lockscreen?

Go to Settings -> Customize and choose "Productivity" as your lock screen style.

And now that you have the answer, I'll answer what will most likely be your next question after you get it set up. The texts shown on the productivity lock screen only show the phone number, not the person's name (even if it's in your contacts). I'm guessing this is on purpose for privacy. EG: incoming text from your fling appearing by name on your locked phone in front of your wife/girlfriend/husband/partner/boyfriend. If you have multiple messages you can swipe them left and right to see multiples w/o unlocking the phone. To go directly to a specific message drag it to the unlock ring.

That's awesome, however the lock screen doesn't turn on. You have to grab the phone and awaken it. Seems pointless lol.
*Edit* Found what I was looking for!
Get SMS Wakeup from the market. You can use any lock screen option, even wallpaper. Then in the default sms preferences select show name and number on lock screen.
Very happy about this. No more third party sms apps necessary
Now the lock screen turns on, shows the name and number of the text message without having to grab the phone!

I would like to change the screen lock, so I could put shortcuts on it to music, camera etc.
Any recommended app?

I presume you mean the icons on the lock screen.
When on the sense home screen drag and drop icons in and out of the bar at the bottom

Support for more lockscreen notifications

Hi,
Currently the HTC lock screen will show notifications for the basic apps: Calendar, Mail, Messages and Phone..
it's really limiting... for instance I thought of using another SMS messaging app, but as soon as i discovered i can't see the messages on the lock screen no more... it really seem like i'm trading off one feature for another.
I really wish I could see Whatsapp noticiations, Gmail etc..
Any mod that enables more types of that? or do i have to replace the lock screen entirely? any thing that looks good as the sense one? thanks.

Would love to have WhatsApp notifications like sms notifications on my locksreen.
A mod would be great
