I use Nova Prime as my launcher on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus and have always wondered why there has been a lack of development on the "unread count" feature that is included with the Prime version of Nova.
I recently switched from the Tesla Unread Count apk to Missed It! 3.3.4 in hopes that Missed It would display notifications better.
Both options do just fine at showing unread texts or missed calls over the icons for my phone and messaging .apks but I wanted to try Missed It! hoping that it's ability to recognize and share notifications from any app that is able to display a notification in the status bar... would show a count over the app icon in the same way it does for calls or texts.
For example, I get Facebook notifications in my status bar, but I am looking for something that will display the same type of notification on the homescreen shortcut for Facebook on my homepage. Or Instagram notification over the Instagram icon on my homescreen.
I guess I am asking for help in finding the right way to put an app shortcut on my homescreen... and have a notification count show up on the icon of that app, plain and simple. I have a fairly simple 3 screen layout and I hide the Nova dock unless I need it. I've got a UCCW Google Now widget on a black background with a nexus logo which opens up my app drawer. I am slowly trying to minimize my homescreens and always auto-hide my status bar is the ultimate goal.... and I need help learning how to still get all the notifications I will need to see from my most used apps which is a very short list.
Missed It seems able to see notifications for any of the apps i need, but as far as i can tell it will only display them in an ugly widget format. Please suggest an alternative or suggestions(besides go develop my own app... I'm learning!) that could provide a solution to my hopeful set up.
Thank You very much in advance!
Mods, I hope this post is not breaking rules.
Please advise if it should be moved to Q&A or General.
And if I should delete and repost.

I'm not real sure if I am following you on your question. With the Telsa Plugin, it does show a count on the icon on the both the homescreen and in the app drawer. Nova with the plugin works really well.

Set this image as the dock background:
{
"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"
}
...and then set transparent shortcuts for the app drawer, phone, and settings on top of it.
You can use "Fancy Widget" as the clock, it's identical to the stock HTC clock.
You can also use Pure Messenger, Calender, and Music widgets with the Sense themes that come with them to replace the other HTC widgets.
I did change the system font, so the weather info on the clock will look a little different, but you get the idea.

Sure, which one?
Edit: OH. here's the transparent icon for the launcherpro dock.
Hi,
Puzzled with how and if one can add a widget to this bottom "tray" (is it called Rosie?)
So far, I understand that we have an opportunity to add an app or a shortcut to this tray. No widgets, however.
None of the widgets that I have installed would fit the empty space on the tray. Sense just doesn't allow me to draw a widget and leaves it on Home Screen.
I will explain why I need this opportunity.
There's a nice email proggy, Aquamail (please don't consider this post to be an ad whatsoever), whose widget (with the overlay showing the number of unread items) I would like to have in the tray and on the lock screen, as a result.
But the author says HTC doesn't offer any API for Sense, and it's just not possible to implement.
Please enlighten me about whether this is possible and whether you know any software that is able to place its widgets in this tray.
PS: Although the default "Mail" and "Messages" widgets placed in the tray (see the screenshot below) are actually no widgets but "apps", they still show unread items in the overlay, but it seems only HTC know how the heck to enable such apps to do this.

}
Thanks!
PPS: You can add a shorctut too, but a shortcut seems to be impossible to show anything in an overlay (the overlay below is just part of TC's icon, so don't get confused)
You want to add widgets to dock? Try Apex Launcher. It allows users to add 1x1 widgets in the dock. Apex Pro also has the option whereby you can choose apps like phone and mail apps(either stock or any other similar app from play store),place their icons on screen or dock and get number of unattended(unread mails, missed calls) displayed in icon's top right corner.
But placing widgets in dock in apex launcher will not display them in lockscreen. If you really want that,try any of lockscreen replacement apps like widget locker. Widget locker allows you to customize lockscreen,place widgets,icons...try it yourself
Thanks, I am of course aware of the multitude of third-party apps, but the reason to start this thread was to find out whether we do have this opportunity with the stock launcher and locker or we don't.
Guys!
Any chance to have some info from those who know for sure whether it's possible or not?
I saw this tweet from HTC today and thought that maybe there was finally a chance?
OpenSense SDK Update Available for Download
Hello all,
I have been wondering whether what I am about to ask is even possible, but I really do hope that there is some kind of magic trick that will allow me to achieve it. I understand that it might sound foolish, but please hear me out, and any kind of help will be much appreciated.
So ever since I moved to the GSIII, I was immediately on AOKP 4.2.1, and obviously with JB 4.2.1 comes the whole newly redesigned statusbar, like the one below. Now I'm on 4.2.2, which is of course not much different than 4.2.1
{
"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"
}
Now, I am a little unhappy with this statusbar, especially with the seperate tab for the toggles. I am probably much too used to the old design, but I feel it was simpler and faster. I know you can access the toggle section with a 2 finger down swipe, but the problem is, I hide my statusbar so I can't perform that method. Another pet peeve I have is the lack of the weather notification on the statusbar, like that in AOKP 4.1.2, shown below.
Please, is there any possible way for me to have the old style 4.1.2 AOKP statusbar, without having to revert to 4.1.2? Again, this may be a very stupid question, since I know it is an app or a modification but a part of the system itself, but anything that I can will be great. Please help. Thank you!
I'm not a dev but I think you're hooped my friend. I was originally like you and hatred it but now I have come to... Peace with it. I swipe down for notifications and up (nova launcher gesture) for toggles menu. The weather thing is an app or maybe a future addition to your favorite rom. I'm not sure if I'd switch it now if I had the choice. Hmmm
Sent from my SGSIII on Bell running Task650's AOKP
You can set a swipe shortcut so that when you swipe on the right or left side of the status bar it brings down the toggles, and when you swipe down anywhere else you get notifications.
Not sure if that helps OP, but that may help IAN1331 from using a swipe up feature of NOVA
I use Nova Launcher Prime, and I have a gesture (swipe down from anywhere not just top) to open the notifications tray. There is an option to open notification OR the new options panel. That way when you swipe down, it opens the old style one.
I think the old notification bar was better. I am shocked by the lack of my beloved, simple, and fabulous old toggle. :crying:
I've done a ton of searches and come up mostly empty.
I'm looking for a notification widget to put on my lockscreen/homescreen. I'd like for it to display all of my notifications and I REALLY want to be able to change the widget's font.
NiLS Notifications Lock Screen is fantastic and has everything I'm looking for, but it doesn't let me change the font and I'm trying to make a really nerdy homescreen and I'd like all of the fonts to be the same. I feel like I could potentially make this work through zooper widget and tasker, but I think tasker is above my skill level. I tried using a font changer to change all of my font to the font I like for the homescreen but it's a really wide font and it's all caps, so everything else looks like a nightmare.
Here are a few screencaps of my current set up. I intend to pin the notifications to the bottom so they'll remain when I slide up to the other homescreen (with the weather/calendar/toggles).

"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Still a work in progress, for sure, but the notifications are the only thing that are really bugging me for the moment, as I want to have the status bar out of there, but I still want to see notifications.

If you spend a bit of time tinkering with UCCW (universal custom widget), you can build anything you want. Here is a thread where you can find many others have built. Maybe you can use them as a base for what you want.

Hi guys, I've been trying to figure out how to change the icon of the navbar for a few days now, still have no clue. It would be nice to have the Stock Android look like this:
{
"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"
}
I see some theme on the market which have the navbar icons changed, so I assume that it is possible to some options (which I don't know about) in the Theme app to do that without rooting my M9, right?
Thanks in advance
Create a Theme here under Maker Pro
That allows you to change all icons and navbar stuff. I think it does anyway.

Yeah I tried it a few days ago, it does let you change icons of a lots of popular apps, but I don't see any option for the navbar whatsoever

You have to use the pro -themer on the page.
Then nav icons and the clock widget have their own steps in the process.
Now... if someone can tell me how to hack the google icons inn instead of the choices htc give me... (they have one that is similar to stock but square is home and two circles indicate the task switcher. (and there is an ugly line on the back key))
i still can't find it
