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
Anyone got any ideas on this?
Thanks

Greetings!
I am looking for an app that will create a dropdown window ontop of apps, when a new SMS i received, much like MIUI

I don't know why the messaging notification icon is a envelope. I keep thinking I have new mail. Is there an easy way to change that?
Thanks,
BR

Probably the easiest is to install a 3rd party SMS app like Go SMS Pro or Handcent.
Otherwise you'll have to replace the icon in a .apk.
If you mean the app icon you could use a launcher like nova,download an icon pack and change any icon you want.

I think he means the notification tray icon. If not... that's what i'm thinking of. Almost never know whether it's an e-mail or text that i received, except that text messages give you that shortcut right on the lockscreen.
Go SMS
Hi,
I'm trying to replace the Go SMS Icon on the default Samsung lockscreen, I use Go SMS for default sms and I'm running Nova launcher so have changed the go sms icon to ics icon. But on my lockscreen the go sms icon cannot be changed, is there away?? I have tried a few ICS lockscreen but none work to how I want, either double lock screen or look awful!
Can someone shed some light on best way.
Thanks

AFAIK, the icon cannot be changed on the default lockscreen. Only the application. The only way I can see to change the icon would be to edit the Go SMS Pro apk and change the icon file to the one you want. This however will need to be done again after every reboot.
Another way would be to create your own small application with the Icon you want, and have that just directly open Go SMS Pro.

Thank you for the reply... Hmm that's a shame as I do like the default lockscreen just the Go SMS Pro app looks awful on there!
I'm not sure how to create my own icon, was hoping that I could copy the stock messaging icon and replace the Go SMS one in root...
Oh well will just stick with Holo launcher now!
Thanks.

i think you can decompile the apk, change the icon sign it and install it and it will have the icon you replaced by default. but its not such an easy process.

Hmm think I might skip that, probably end up causing more damage than its worth!
Thanks though..

If you install widget locker, you can customize the lock screen using any combination of icons-to-apps that you want.
