It is absurd to me that I cannot easily find a 1x1 widget that displays unread exchange emails, similar to the one that HTC provides for sense. I know of "Android 1×1 Ultimate Unread Widget", but that requires root, which obviously I don't have.
Does anyone know if this exists? I want to try an alternative launcher, but this one issue alone is preventing me from doing so. I must be able to quickly see at a glance how much unread work emails I have.

You can just use a regular application icon. It will show the unread count.

I don't think so. I'm using launcherpro and the icon does not show the unread count. Is there something I am missing?
Adw ex I think will... Maybe adw with adw notifier installed as well

But what if I don't want to use ADW?
EDIT: ADW notifier only works for K-9 mail. I don't use K-9, and in fact cannot because I'm on Exchange 2010.

Hi all. New the the Atrix! I had an HTC Desire before and I actually prefered it because HTC Sense seemed so practical. Im going to continue with the Atrix tho.
One thing I find strange is when I recieve a new text message, the only visual notification I get is in the bar at the top. On the HTC it would place a little number on the icon to let me know have unread messages. Any idea on how I can get the Atrix to do this?
Thanks
James
Try this app:
GoSMS Pro
Many thanks. Ill give it go.
Thanks
James
This might be more what you are looking for:
SMS Unread Count
Hi. Cheers for the info. I tried them both but just kept getting the same text coming through untill i uninstalled.

Some launchers have an extra option to set if you want an unread messages counter or not (Launcher Pro for example). And some launchers need extra stuff (GO Launcher).

Can anyone recommend a good lockscreen that will display upcoming calendar events? It also needs to have good battery life and preferably have a launcher to launch sms when you have one like the stock lockscreen.

AGILE LOCK! Mimics to an extent the htc sense lockscreen.
I'm a huge fan of it. While it doesn't 'hide' the text message option, and 'show' it with new text. It does allow for fast access to 4 apps of your choice, and it enables accessing the pull down status drawer (open new text messages) with the lock screen still active.
And for calender it allows you to use any widget of your choice. Here's mine:

Hands down one of the things I like the most in terms of usability.

How is battery life? My biggest concern is always battery life.

Widget Locker is also an option.

I second this, also smooth calendar is nice and clean.
Agile lock uses very little battery. Never noticed the difference.
Some have reported widget locker as causing battery drain issues but I think it's more likely it was app conflicts causing it. My wife's atrix has run a number of roms and never had a battery issue from widget locker. She really likes it.

So I finally decided on the Rezound tonight, and after several hours of toying with it... There is no Peep app anymore. It's in the system folder, and FriendStream updates Twitter and everything, but there's no standalone app anymore. Yes, Peep was really buggy, but I liked it. (On the Incredible, anyway.)
Can anybody shed some light on where it went?
Yeah for some odd reason, Peep doesn't appear in my application launcher either... The only way I've been able to access it is by placing the FriendStream widget on one of my homescreens, then clicking the right arrow ">" button to get into the Peep application.
if you install a 3rd party launcher can you see it? HTC blocks some apps in the drawer.

Tried ADW EX, and Go Launcher just now. Peep didn't show up, but it did show the Mirror app. Out of all the things HTC could have taken out to slim down Sense, and they drop a Twitter app and the flashlight? Not the best development choice.

No kidding lol. Flashlight would have been nice.
Folder organizer apps show those apps like peep, mirror, etc that aren't in the app drawer

Think they dropped those two because of people running them and then complaining about battery life?

Folder Organizer doesn't work for Peep. Just tried it and didn't see it.

Possibly. But they didn't remove Peep, they just removed the shortcut to it. So it'll still drain just as much battery. Like someone else said, you can get to it from the widget.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW
If anyone else cared about this quite as much as me, you can get a shortcut to peep by creating a shortcut to friend stream. Not the app, but a shortcut. Then you'll be able to select Twitter and it functions just like it used to.

I've tried it with Chomp SMS, yahoo mail, k9 mail, Handcent SMS, the default cm7 SMS app and the stock email app.
Supposedly it doesnt work with the latest Gmail, but it is in fact it only things its ever worked with. Odd huh?
Can anyone give me a hand?
Many thanks!

I used to use these for ADW andGO launcher, but it's another service/process that runs all the time so I normally don't use. They show notification icons over dialer/SMS when used with the correct launcher
This ISN'T my Transformer Prime

Works fine for me.
Under WidgetLocker settings, there is an entry for "Unread Counts". I turned that on and enabled TeslaUnread. From there I went to the "TeslaUnread Settings" and checked SMS, MissedCalls, and Gmail. (They might have been checked by default; in any case, check the ones you want to use.)
Then I put the icon for the respective apps on my WidgetLocker screen.
Hope that helps. If not, let me know more specifics and I'll try to help.

Long press on the WL tool (edit) screen then application. That'll give you the icon just like on your homescreen.

Hm, where in the app list can be found widgetlocker "notification bubble"? All I see is just app icon, but that don't give you missed calls/SMS count on lockscreen.
I also looked in shortcuts/widgets....but can't find Tesla notifications anywhere.
Of course I set Tesla unread as default under Unread counts in WL.
EDIT: Ok, I found... I realised that main app (SMS, phone, etc) get a badge.
Moved to Q&A
wrong app
Hi! So I've bought Nova launcher and installed Tesla unread. It's cool, but tesla puts missed calls counter on "Contacts" app icon, not on "Phone". It's not that bad, but still makes me fill uncomfortable. Is there way to fix it?
