Ok, so im coming from WP7 and i really liked how that showed notifications on the lock screen. If you havent seen it, this is what it looks like:
http://bfitz.me/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/IMG_0374-300x244.jpg
Basically, im looking for something similar for android. I have WidgetLocker so its just a matter of finding a program that displays like that. I tried Executive Assistant, and its ok, but i dislike the fact that i can press the notifications and see previews, and then navigate to the full app. I just want a display that shows how many calls and how many texts/emails ive missed since i last looked at my phone. Does this exist? Or will I have to create it?
best solution i can think of is go launcher ex with go launcher notification. works with their sms app and googles gmail app

You could download Widget Locker and add some widgets to your screen. That's probably the closest you will ever get.
I have widget locker but i cant find appropriate widgets. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I found Missed It!, seems like the closest im going to get. I dont care about the icons, just wanted a notification on the lock screen that doesnt call out a program when you touch it (because that kind of defeats the purpose of a lock screen, if you can bypass it).

http://goo.gl/y2ec5 Widget Locker is based in ADW so the ADW notifier app should work on WidgetLocker regardless of what launcher you are running. When installing WidgetLocker you should have been presented with this info and prompted to download the plug in.
Hats off to you if you can create it.

You need SMS Unread Count from the Market. Icons are custom.
You could try widget locker with elixir. Elixir has widget counters for phone, SMS and Gmail.

I use smsunread count too but think of this, if anyone has used phantom music player they know it can remain "hidden" until touched. Well I was just thinking of working on a new project thanks to this very thread.
- A widget that remains hidden until a number reaches any value above "0". This way you can put it on your lock screen and its not there, Just like wp7, until its activated by receiving a txt, email, call etc... now heres the question. Should it be 1 widget where they all light up when 1 is activated, or have individual widgets similar to smsunread. I think individual would be a better touch. Time to get to work.

if you hold down on an icon in tool mode of widgetlocker there is a little slider box to disable touches. This will allow you to see the notifications or have anything on the screen without tapping it by accident

You can't bypass the lock screen with Widgetlocker. If you press a sms, mail, or call icon it takes you to the main lockscreen which shows when you are not using Widgetlocker. Then it takes you to the app after you unlock from there.
If you are using Widgetlocker in Tool mode, it will take you to the app right away, but that's because your device is not locked in Tool mode.
I was looking into this a while back and apparently Tasker has that function. I can't find the link but I know there was a guide specific to that.

Is there any way to keep touchwiz and do this? I like touchwiz
No. The SMS and launcher replacements were made BECAUSE of the limitations the stock ones provide.
May I ask why you prefer the TouchWiz apps? If its just the theme, handcent/GO SMS can be themed to look pretty close. As for launchers I prefer LauncherPro, but with ADW you could easily make a TouchWiz style launcher (right down to the iPhone style app drawer), and still get the notifications you're looking for.
Adw launcher and adwnotify app are definitely the best options for you. You can set it to look exactly like touch wiz (you won't even know) it's a different launcher if you set it correctly.
launcher pro is the best way

No. The icon for the app can only be one .png. No animation or changing images of any kind. That's why its a widget. If this is something you want so badly, TouchWiz is not for you. It just isn't conducive to this kind of customization. As I said before all the above apps/widgets were made because you just can't do these kind of things with the stock launcher.

Maybe I should give ADW another try after all. Damn! lol
Haha I wasn't trying to sound harsh. But doing a mod like this to the Twiz launcher is a lot more extensive than you might realize, and may not be totally possible. The devs of these other apps have preemptively heard your cries, and produced multiple solutions for your problem.
is there any possibility to make sth like in sms unread... bo with my own icons? some different apps?
I haven't seen anyone post about this, but I really want to know about the lockscreen. The thing is I love using the pattern lock, but what I dislike is that every UI I've seen, excluding sense, have removed their standard slide-unlock screen when enabling the pattern-lock. What I love about sense is that, it didn't remove the slide-unlock...
If anyone could shed some light on this, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks!

Nothing comes close to widgetlocker{Sense 3.0 is the only other thing which comes to my mind},so many different themes to choose.

Widgetlocker is the best way to customise your phone lockscreen
I'll add another voice supporting WidgetLocker. Without wanting to state the obvious having widgets on your lock screen is fantastic (calendar, etc) and it keeps the slide and then pattern, as you want...
+1 for Widgetlocker, wouldn't be without it.
...it also lets you activate the screen with the home button, which will be ideal for those who can't get on with Samsung's placement of the power button.

Purchase widgetlocker from the market,after that you can get various lockscreen themes{include only the sliders} from xda android section itself.
Only the slider is there in the theme,rest all which you have seen in my lockscreen are the widgets
Yeah the widgets were the things that made it look good, do you just move them to the screen or what?

Yesterday I went from TW to Go Luncher it is prety awsome but I don't like that things that then you hit contacts from the dock and thenn want to go back (with key). first of all you go to phone and then I have to press back again in oder to return to home screen. And other thing is app drawer, then I open an app and hit back to close it I go to home screen not back to drawer. i feel inconvienent . Tell your experience with lunchers on yours S2
Thanks
I don't understand what you mean by pressing contacts in the dock and going back using a key.
There is no launcher that keeps open the drawer when selecting an app. I use MIUI, it has no drawer, apps are installed to the home-screen. So actually this takes away the 'inconvenience' you say you have.
Sidenote: Miui is not a launcher. It's a rom.

At home screen, at the buttom there are 5 icons and one is for contacts. Then I click on it it opens contacts list and then I want to exit I press back key (that light sensor) and it sends me not to home screen but to phone app (dial pad). On TW where was such thing.
I know that there aren't. But image that I open file explorer from drawer I use it, and then want to exit on TW I pressed back key and I would get back to drawer because I opened the program from it. But with GO luncher then I hit back I go to home screen. Maybe I miss something.

Using Go for a while now, love it have to say. Just remove that Stock Contact icon and replace with the system Contact icon, simple. The default dock icons of Go aren't pretty, black and white, ehh. I always replace all of them.
About other launchers, LP, Zeam and etc, they all are ****. What type of launcher is one in which you can't select a 480x800 wallpaper.
Nemus launcher is another good option, but it is still very basic.
And there is already a thread regarding launchers in Theme and App section.
Can you explain how to remove that Stock Contact icon and replace with the system Contact icon. I quite new here

Press and hold the stock contact icon, you will get options like Delete, Replace, Gesture. Click Delete. You will see a + icon, add Application, then select Contacts.

this is a HUGE problem for me too. I've asked a couple times in different browser threads and no one likes to ask this. the only answer I've ever seen is just like this,a quick snappy "use this awesome browser instead" and I otherwise like the stock browser best. but seriously, this royally pisses me off too. anyone with a solution, please speak up
is there a way to install sense 3.0 browser on this phone from an evo 3d? I like the new browser in every way except the status bar thing mentioned here, and the loss of the omni-awesome-bar the old one had. is it just one system apk to install over, or is it more complicated than that?
...because, I've noticed other things I've tried, like the flashlight from the 3d, don't match the screen resolution and the button is not where you must press on screen to work it. would browser have this same problem? and, is it just one apk or more integrated with the system than that?
thank you,
With the E3D you have to tap the capacitive menu button while in some browsers to make the notifications bar reappear. Maybe try tapping the recent apps button?
doesn't work. even the recent app button won't let you get to the status bar. literally must go back to home screen, or switch to an app that shows the status bar. either way, the browser page reloads, which sucks if you are composing something or on YouTube
one work around is by clicking the refresh button ^_^
If you scroll to the top of the browser, options come up at the bottom of the screen (add, bookmarks, saved, tabs) If you hit tabs, the notification bar comes down and you can resume the page your viewing without refreshing

I'm having the same issue. My friend says his notification bar is pretty much permanent and if it doesn't appear, all he does is scroll to the top of the webpage and it appears. For those of us that are having problems, I think the most efficient option is to use the "refresh" workaround!

To get to the notification bar from the stock browser, just press and hold anywhere on the screen and the bar should appear.

Simplest way I've found is to flick the screen just a bit, as if you are going to scroll up or down, which makes the browser address/menu-bars appear. If you select 'Tabs' on the lower-right, you not only see your tabs but the notification bar also appears.

I know most users are the reverse of me, but here's my puzzle.
I love AOKP in almost every way except... I really love the TouchWiz contacts/dialer (go figure). I use the swipe left to sms/right to call at least once a day. To the point that I went back to Shostock3 (and its battery-heavy ways) so I could have this core functionality back.
In the stock SGS2 thread, someone asked the question of whether there's a contacts/dialer replacement that acts like TW contacts/dialer and nobody responded.
So I'm asking here... Does what I'm looking for exist?

Sorry, I don't understand. exDailer has both swipe features by default, and you can fiddle about with certain behaviors under the Advanced tab to make their contracts have swipe as well.

When I open a contact in exDialer to SMS, it opens the default messaging app... But if I start out in the messaging app and want to call the person, then I am SOL. The nice thing about the TW integration is that any time you interact with a contact (from any of the three apps) is that the swipe left/right thing works.
As a result, I am now looking for a messaging replacement app that can also do the swipey thing.
Far as I know there isn't anything like that for AOSP, but if you DO find something that works the way you want it to let us know.

When I open a contact in exDialer to SMS, it opens the default messaging app... But if I start out in the messaging app and want to call the person, then I am SOL.

Not sure I get it. Are you talking about the AOSP Messaging app? There's a call button in the title bar. Furthermore, if you press on the contact icon, a popup appears, and you have the option to do a lot more than call them. You can send an email, map their address, etc.

You could try flashing shostock3 (that's what I'm on) and backing up the dialer with Titanium (and the messaging & contacts apps, whatever you need) and then reflashing your current rom and restoring the app without data. There probably wouldn't be any data to restore at that time anyway.
But, I have no idea if that will work, or if it will give you problems or even brick your device (which I doubt would happen), but there was a thread where someone did something like that with the Touchwiz task manager. I think they were running a TW ROM on an N7 and went back to a AOSP ROM and it worked perfectly.
Good luck. I personally am a big fan of touchwiz, especially with a nexus style blue theme to the toggles and other system colors instead of green. Samsung has some pretty awesome user friendly stuff like the swipe to call/text, the quick toggles, even the s planner calendar app stands out.

Yeah, I understand that functionality exists, but that's not what I'm looking for. It's less elegant (for me). I'd rather have a certain specific one-touch experience rather than the two-click experience.
And TouchWiz apks, as far as I've read, don't work on non-Samsung kernels.

Apks have nothing to do with kernels
