I am looking for a widget for my lock screen which will show unread mail via the stock email app (POP Hotmail accounts)
I have looked on the market and there are loads for gmail but can't seem to find anything for stock.
I have tried missed it! but that does display the correct string.
Anyone have any ideas?
Anyone?
I was looking for something similar myself recently and someone pointed out that the stock email icon (not the widget) i.e. long press>shortcuts>applications>Email) has an unread email counter on it and they were right

I think that was me. Glad it helped. Note it works with stock launcher only. Any other launcher just shows the icon.

I've noticed this counter in the app draw and on my main page but how do you add this apply shortcut to the lock screen?
I've tried adding the shortcut in widget locker but it just shows the icon and no counter

Yeah, I do not think that icon will work on any other launcher or screenlock app besides the stock touchwiz. You need to find something else.
The default mail on this phone and maybe android in general is not as good as GMail , that is the reality.

Hi
I had a quick look at the market google and xda forum but I can not find what I am looking for.
I would like a 1x1 widget that shows how many unread email (pop account) I have.
Do you know of anything like that?
Kind Regards

Like this at the bottom of my screen ?:
not really
I am just interested by a 1x1 widget like the one for gmail but for pop accounts
does it make sense?
Me too!
I'm looking also for something like the notification bubble for the stock (pop / imap) e-mail.
Like those from ADW Notification or GO Launcher Notification. Just that they provide bubbles only for Gmail.
Someone knows something like that?

This in not for pop account.

Looking for this as well. amazed that there arent tons of these. Not interested in gmail or kø etc just want a 1x1 widget for pop and imap email. The only thing nearing what I am after is Email Widget but that requires k9.
Well you probably already know this, and it may not be what you want, but I will throw it out there anyway.
The stock Samsung email icon, when used with the stock Touchwiz, shows the unread counter on itself. Would this work for you?
Thats the 4x2 one? Dunno about the OP but for me i have several accounts and rather than take up a tonne of screen room with the stock email preview widget (nice as it is) I woild rather have a few account icons highlighting the number of unread emails.

No I was talking about the 1x1 icon itself, not the widget. Under Touchwiz that icon shows unread mail count, but yeah that count is global I think, for all email accounts under Samsung Mail
Has anyone tried the Executive Assistant that was free on Amazon a couple of days ago? That had some widgets I believe. But it is probably crap.
Hi all - first post so i hope it a relatively decent question. Did have a search but couldnt find anything related to this particular issue on this phone.
Im not sure whether this is better in the apps section or the phone specific but thought i would ask here first.
I have an unrooted S2 and i would like to use another Launcher.
My problem is that i cannot seem to find and App or Launcher or anything that can alert me of unread emails.
I have tried 'missed it' and executive assistant but to no avail.
Missed it works for calls and SMS but not email.
I should add that i am not using G mail but using the built in samsung email App with two accounts (1 POP and 1 Exchange).
If i receive an email using the default launcher and open the app drawer there is an email icon which displays the unread count in a red bubble. So if i add this icon to desktop or to the dock i can see unread mails.
If i am using Launcher Pro for example this icon is not in my app drawer or anywhere that i can find it. In stead there is exactly the same icon in the drawer but this does not display the unread count.
I am assuming that this is a semi sansung widget (although i cannot add it to desktop as a widget even in the standard launcher).
I have also tried using the social hub with launcher pro (and Go launcher and ADW) but again i get no notifications.
I still get the notifications in the notification bar no matter what launcher i use but these dissapear after a while.
This is currently the only thing stopping me using a different Launcher and it would be great if anyone had any ways around this.
Unfortunately i cannot and dont really want to forward my emails to Gmail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Nath

Hi there. I have a galaxy s3 since a mounth or two and i have a contact that i call 20 or 25 time per day.
I want to know if there is a HACK or a MOD to integrate a direct call shortcut to the original lockscreen of the S3.
Thanks
I'm not sure about a hack/mod for the stock lock screen - someone else will hopefully clue you in about that.
Failing that though you could replace the stock lock screen with Widgetlocker which will allow you to add custom shortcuts and widgets (such as a direct dial widget for instance) to the lock screen.

I know this is old topic but Samsung did no changes to solve the problem. I wanted to keep original lock screen and be able to launch shortcuts from it, so I wrote an app for it. Application can be mapped with any shortcut, so when you press app icon it works like pressing shortcut icon. Unfortunately there is no possibility to change app icons, so I put launcher icons with different numbers on it.
Application is called Shortcut Launcher. You can download it from Google Play.
And if you don't want to install stuff, you could just add a call contact widget on the homescreen, you would still have to unlock it but it's some steps quicker
You can also use the ROM SlimBean, it has the option to add widgets to the lockscreen
I'm running RootBox Android version 4.2.1 and the cLock widget does not display my calendar or weather. I had the same problem with the same widget on another CM10.1 ROM. Am I missing something to enable it or is it just not working?

Read this thread and got it working on the lockscreen. Still doesn't show the weather or calendar on the homescreens though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078205

Long press the widget to edit, then drag it down to extend it. If you have the options of calendar/weather enabled it will show them.
Download dash clock widget. Cool app. Shows time(obviously), weather, calender,gmail, texts and twitter updates. You can set it to show whatever you like
