So I'm trying to set either GOSMS or my standard messaging app to work with MIUI Lockscreen but I only get a small list of apps to choose from, and neither of the messaging apps are shown. Is there any way to get more apps to show on that list? I just want to get it to work. That aside, MIUIWiz is an awesome ROM!!! Thanks in advance!

Hey guys
I got the SGSII a few days ago and downloaded LauncherPro because I like the app tray to be vertical like the Nexus S.
Anyway, I have a "Messaging" shortcut on my homepage. The problem is that when I get a new message and have not looked at it, it does not show a little notification beside the icon (like a small "1" if I have 1 unread message).
Is there something I can do to fix this? It also does this with my emails (my email icon is one of the dock icons). I have "Unread SMS count" checked in LauncherPro preferences but it still does not work.
Thanks,
Elliott
This is from the the LP website...hope it helps...
Please note that for these notifications to work, you must either use the corresponding LauncherPro-style icon, or have the shortcut set for the stock phone/messaging app. It should work with other apps as long as you use the LauncherPro icon, and it should work with custom icons as long as you use the stock apps. Support for 3rd party apps with custom icons *might* come in the future but it’s not certain yet.
Thanks.
I do have a shortcut set for the stock messaging app and still doesn't work. No custom icons...

you have gone into menu>preferences>dock settings and ticked the notifications for unread sms count havent you?
Ive a custom icon linking to handcent and its working fine with a little red 1 when i have an unread text.

I believe the newest version of Gmail "broke" the mail notofication in both ADWLauncher and LauncherPro. The ADWNotifier description says the following: "Since Gmail app updated to 2.3.5, we can no longer receive the unread count data. I'll try to find an alternative. " Nothing from LauncherPro so far.

From the LauncherPro site: I just received some pretty sad news. The API that LauncherPro uses to access your Gmail messages (used on the Gmail widget and the Gmail dock notifications) is being removed in the next version of the Gmail app for Android 2.2 and higher. Apparently the API does not meet modern security standards.
What this means for LauncherPro users is once you update to this new version, your LauncherPro Plus Gmail widget, and LauncherPro Gmail dock notifications will stop working, and even potentially crash the launcher if you try to use them (I don’t have access to this upcoming version yet, so I cannot fully test it).
I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause, and hope that the Android team will come out with a revised API soon enough, so that we can re-gain our Gmail integration in LauncherPro.

Yes I have. And yes I've read that it seems to work for Handcent but not for the stock messaging app.

Exactly. Thank you. But my email is also not working in the dock...just using the stock email app with Hotmail.
Bump...anyone?
The latest gmail update changed the api structure so that all gmail notification apps (even launcher pro and touchwiz 4.5).
We have to wait for those apps to be updated to the new system.

It works fine for me if im using stock messaging app or handcent. It doesnt work on stock email though. Im not sure what to suggest, maybe try uninstalling launcherpro and reinstalling it?

Hey guys,
I installed launcher pro on my phone and use it as my preferred launcher. However, even when the settings under dock are checked, I don't get a number letting me know I have a new text message over the icon in the dock. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, have you found a solution or is this something the developer has to fix? Thanks for the help

Just installed LP and the dock notifications are not working.
I've got LauncherPro (Plus) on my GS2 and the notification icon is working for the text messages. I don't use the missed phone or gmail notifications. I also changed my dock shortcuts to the stock shortcuts and stock icons. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I also use Handcent as my default messaging application and turn off notification bar notices for all but a few close contacts (daughter, hubby, etc.).
LPP is my default home app...
When I was using LPP (with custom icons), my notifications for all three stopped working after a while. I switched to Go Launcher EX with notifications, and they didn't work either. It's pretty damn annoying.
It was originally working for me as well. I read somewhere that Google had patched Gmail for security reasons but I forgot to disable updates on Gmail ... so I think when I did the mass app updates in Market that it broke it like it did last time on my HTC aria. I'm assuming we need the original apk now but I have a feeling we're screwed ... I don't want to revert to my cwm backup since I did so much tweaking since then but it may be the only way to get email notification to work again.

Okay I restored my stock rooted backup in cwm and almost immediately market tried downloading Gmail updates. I killed my data connection before it finished downloading and cleared market cache and data. I froze Gmail and started the market with data connection again ... so far I still have notification in Launcher Pro but who knows if there's a way to disable Gmail app updates in the future?

Im really liking the rom but i have a couple of problems:
1)The messaging app notifications dont work for some reason. I do not get a little icon on the messaging icon, or a notification in the status bar, nor do i get a vibration or ringtone. I have made sure the notification is checked in settings.
2)Not really a problem but im assuming this rom doesnt support bln..?
3)I know this has been asked many times but screen size for launchers. Im using apex launchers and currently i cannot put any widgets. I have heard different replys and dont know what i should do. I havent messed with my dpi. Should i change dpi, or what should i change grid size to?
4)S-pen optimized apps are not compatible? I dont understand why apps specifically made to be used with the s pen would not be compatible with the note. For example in samsung apps i look at the spen apps and they dont work. Click on omni sketch or zen brush and it says incompatible?
Thanks!
Apex
I use Chomp SMS but i was getting notifications up top of messages through the default messaging app with no problem, just not badges, which I have grown to dislike coming from iOS.
Apex works just fine for me, how are you adding widgets? through a long press on on the desktop of through widgets in the app drawer? Widgets from the app drawer require APEX to be a system/app not a data/app. I also have Apex set to 7x7 and worked previously on 5x6 as well.
As for S-Pen apps I would imagine its because they haven't been released with ICS Support since this is an ahead of schedule leak, I'm not entirely sure.
i don't think bln has support on this rom yet but I'm not entirely sure.
I got my notification working now. And yeah I'm trying to add widgets through the app drawer. What do you mean apex launcher has to be a system app? How would I go about doing that? Also what grid size do you recommend? Ah I guess I can understand why the spend apps do not work well hopefully somebody can fix it soon. Yeah I'm pretty sure you need a kernel for bln which I don't think we'll get until the actual ics release.

Apexlauncher.apk has to be moved with root explorer or es file explorer in a rw state, the apk has to be moved to the system/app folder and reboot. Im using 7 tall x 6 wide grid and really liking it, and yes unless da_g uses the kernel in the leak to rework a custom kernel and add bln, we'll have to wait til the official kernel and ics is out and Im sure he'll use that to make us an overclocking kernel with bln support.

Go into the settings menu in play store app. There is an option to automatically add what you download to your home screen, just un-tick it.
Is there a current custom HTC stock SMS app? I actually dont mind the stock sms but I would really like to know a way to change the color scheme of the messaging bubbles, fonts, and/or backgrounds.
I've been running some of the 3rd party SMS apps (Go SMS Pro, Handcent, and etc.) I was even able to fix the profile picture sync issue with them, but they seem to run a little glitchy sometimes. Where as the stock sms performs great other then it being so plain.
Thanks in advance.
I agree that the 3rd party SMS apps aren't running smoothly at this time. I'm running the stock SMS but have SMS Popup installed which doesn't run smoothly either. I'm looking for alternatives to use, cause I like the Individual Notification option in the 3rd party apps. I've used Handcent and GOSMS, both ran decent but they both had there issues with working inconsistently.
If you go into settings>personalize>skin, you can change the skin, some of the skins have a blue sms theme some have a green sms. I know its not really what you are looking for but it is better than nothing.

I know a dev working on that very thing, he's told me its a real pain compared to the sense 2.1 mms, and that took him quite a while.

Until such time we can compile the apk's successfully it will be tough to make it to your liking. I do themes, and we can't yet get ICS apk's to compile after they've been edited. I'm sure there are devs working on this issue, but as of now there unthemeable.
A black background would be nice.

I am now currently using GoSms again, but I had to disable the notification / Quick response box. Now it runs smooth. So I'm guessing it's a Sense 4.0 issue. Apparently Sense, doesn't like notification boxes.

I'm currently running Scott's CleanROM 4.4. In the "Scott's Tweaks" there is an option for MMS Screen On. I have that option checked but it appears to only be for MMS, not SMS. I've noticed in Newt's new Sense 4.0 ROM, one of the tweaks he has is called SMS screen on. I assume based on the name that it does what I'm looking for. But I really dont want to have to load an entire Sense 4.0 ROM just to get that one benefit. Is there any way that I can get that tweak for the Sense 3.6 ROM I'm running?
Thanks!
GoSMS has that option built in. I've used it since my Incredible.

Yea, I know all the alternate messaging apps have that ability. I like to use the stock messaging app because its ad-free. I've used GoSMS and Handcent in the past. I also know there is an app called SMS Popup that works in conjunction with the stock messaging app.
I was mainly talking just about the Sense Tweak. I'm guessing Scott would have to manually add that in to his ROM.
