hi, i am just wondering if there is any app or themes that allow iphone like SMS previews on the lockscreen?
i dont just want to see 1 or 2 new messages i like seeing the sms previews
also if there is also a lock screen theme that can show facebook notifications that would be great to... thank you.
Take a look at widgetlocker.
It's a lockscreen that lets you put widgets or virtually anything on the lockscreen.
It's awesome actually and has many many options.

Thanks ... It helped with some Other Customizations for me
But its Paid version so might not be good for everybody ...
Do you know any other way ???
SMS preview "pop up" is available on many other messaging applications.
Go and handscent do this.

Yeah mate,Go SMS is worth it for pop-up sms
Go SMS is good for popups, but super bloated as an app. If you like that, go for it.

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

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).

i tried handcent, and so far its the closest thing ive found but it doesnt actually show the popup over the lockscreen, it kinda half unlocks the phone and makes the pulldown bar accesible while locked (which i dont like). i want it so it just shows over the lockscreen like on the iphone or on the htc sense phones

Does the note have a text messaging app similar to iphone? I like how my wife's iphone has all the text pop up on her screen when it is locked. Does android have a similar setup? The iphone can pop up multiple text if they are not viewed right away. Thank you. I have never had a smartphone so don't know what android has to offer.
Just go to market and look at it. They're all like **** load of apps like that.

But does it come with a stock app like that like the iphone has? I had a smartphone for about 2 weeks last year and found out that alot of apps don't always work properly.
Handcent in the market works pretty much perfectly doing what you want. The advantage of android over IOS is that if you don't like a stock application, odds are someone has written and published one that does what you want.

Go SMS is pretty iphone-ish. Stock theme even looks like it.

handcent also. It actually has a setting called iphone lol!
Get Go SMS Pro from the Android Market. Within this app there is an iPhone Theme. You can even tweak the settings to enable a pop-up or in the Notification Bar.

Or if you just want the pop up you can download SMS Pop Up
Check out iphone notifications
My wish is that someone would make a Screen Lock App and maybe some has, if not I think this a great idea, of course.
1. It must show any missed income calls, messages and emails.
2. Time and weather.
3. Circle when long pressed to swipe outside of circle to open.
4. Customizable App selection; the ability to add a few apps around the circle to choose from, but if not chosen swipe outside of the circle to opens.
5. Select a random picture everytime you turn on your phone from a directory of your choice.
I think that's a tall order my friend, but you can try Widget Locked and see if you get some or all of those things you're looking for...

Yes, WidgetLocker is great. It allows to add homescreen widgets on it. Plus, it has many themes to launch apps (ICS, Sense, iPhone).
I'd like to add more: Install "Tesla Unread" to get missed call, SMS and Gmail counts.
Yeah, Widget Locker pretty much does all of that minus Live Picture wallpaper.
Try Go Locker from Play Store

You'll have to install Go Launcher EX to use it. Just to tweak lock screen usability, changing home launcher is an overkill..
I'm gonna suggest, as others here have, Widget Locker. I've always been running widget locker since I first had an android phone and have never used anything else because it does the job perfectly. Obviously, it's best feature is the customization available for it. Every few days I'm changing the layout of my lockscreen, just so it's something new

You could try using widget locker combined with minimalistic text integrated with tasker. That might give you what you want.

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?
