Does anyone know how to change the icon on the gmail counter 2.0 app. It doesn't appear to be in the app itself. Maybe what folder in the apk i can manipulate. thanks!
or maybe if someone could help me figure out why my SMS unread app force closes everytime I try to install a widget with my gmail account??

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 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

how come the gmail icon does not show numbers like the message icon or the mail icon?
It's not an active icon... But you can search the market for an active Gmail widget.
There is an app that will do this, I think its called Gmail Unread Count, or something like that.

I can't figure out why the unread icon badge is missing from my yahoo email icon while it is working for Gmail and other apps. I am running nova launcher on a Samsung note 4. Anyone have or had the same issue? Thank you in advance!
