Does anybody knows how to change it??? Because it doesnt appear the option in messages--settings
Grab a alternative sms program like sms go, handcent or something similar, lots of skins there and all your sms are preserved
Hey guys,
im about 1 month into my s2 and loving it. using litening rom 4.2, and couple days ago i switched from TW to GO launcher. I now have an issue where in my messaging contacts menu - it is showing up doubles and triple listings under 'name - custom, name - mobile' I got rid of this before in TW launcher by going into gmail an changing the settings so it wouldnt automatically add contacts etc. but now with go launcher its made a comeback? anyone know how i fix this?
my normal contacts menu is fine with only single names displayed and ive checked all those boxes in settings to only show phone numbers etc. i dont know why its all of a sudden come back to this in go launcher. semi frustrating having to sift through
any help much appreciated

Hey guys,
I installed launcher pro on my phone and use it as my preferred launcher. However, even when the settings under dock are checked, I don't get a number letting me know I have a new text message over the icon in the dock. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, have you found a solution or is this something the developer has to fix? Thanks for the help

Just installed LP and the dock notifications are not working.
I've got LauncherPro (Plus) on my GS2 and the notification icon is working for the text messages. I don't use the missed phone or gmail notifications. I also changed my dock shortcuts to the stock shortcuts and stock icons. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I also use Handcent as my default messaging application and turn off notification bar notices for all but a few close contacts (daughter, hubby, etc.).
LPP is my default home app...
When I was using LPP (with custom icons), my notifications for all three stopped working after a while. I switched to Go Launcher EX with notifications, and they didn't work either. It's pretty damn annoying.
It was originally working for me as well. I read somewhere that Google had patched Gmail for security reasons but I forgot to disable updates on Gmail ... so I think when I did the mass app updates in Market that it broke it like it did last time on my HTC aria. I'm assuming we need the original apk now but I have a feeling we're screwed ... I don't want to revert to my cwm backup since I did so much tweaking since then but it may be the only way to get email notification to work again.

Okay I restored my stock rooted backup in cwm and almost immediately market tried downloading Gmail updates. I killed my data connection before it finished downloading and cleared market cache and data. I froze Gmail and started the market with data connection again ... so far I still have notification in Launcher Pro but who knows if there's a way to disable Gmail app updates in the future?

Hi guys! I text a lottt. So there are a lot of messages in my messaging app. Is there any way I can keep some of the important ones (say 100 important messages out of 1000) and delete the rest? I had been using CM 9.1 till yesterday but changed to JellySandwich (+ a couple of mods and tweaks ). I feel this is better than CM 9.1 in every aspect except for the messaging app. In CM 9.1s messaging app I could just lock the important and good messages after reading them and later even if I delete the whole conversation I'll be asked if I wanted to keep the locked ones. There is also an auto cleanup options where the app would automatically delete messages that are not locked to keep the conversation thread length below a preset value.
So my question is, is there any mod of Sony's stock messaging app (NXT version) that has similar features? Or is there any other app that has these features and looks like the Sony one? Or atleast anything that can backup just the starred messages and restore them back? I know there are apps which has these features but not Sony Xperia NXT styled, but I was hoping anyone here would know something that has both the style and functionality.
On another note I seriously don't know what's the point of starring a message in the Sony's messaging app rather than getting to see all starred messages together. If I wanted to find something important then I would have just searched for it
Hello All,
I've been running Stock JB for a while and I just flashed houstonn's Carbon 4.3. It works great is very smooth and stable. However, It looks like the Email, Phone and SMS apps in Carbon do not have unread count / badge displayed in launcher or dock. The stock version's corresponding apps do display unread count as little red circle on the icons. I am not sure if this is because of the launcher or what. It appears that badge/unread count may not be available for any AOSP based ROMS? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Does any one know if ParanoidAndroid apps (or other ROMs) display badge/unread/missed count?
It looks like Apex Prime or Nova Prime launcher claim to have this feature, but I have not tried them yet. I want to check here first to see that the deal is if I want badge/unread/missed count on apps.
What are my options?
1. Does PA or any other rom support this?
2. New Launcher? Which one?
3. New E-mail/Phone/SMS apps? Which ones?
3. Some how obtain stock apks?
Thanks in advance for your help.
SV.
Nova Prime works well, had the Gmail count hang up a few times showing unread when there wasn't.
I use Nova prime and it seems to work fine for me.

What about stock e-mail app
Thanks for the input on Nova Prime. Looks like it works with Gmail fine. Any idea about stock/touchdown/Emoze? I have to use Exchange email.
Thanks again.
SV
Yeah it works with those too... AFAIK. I used em in the summer and it was working then.

Things I've tried so far
Just thought I'd update with what I found so far. Thanks for Nova recommendation.
1. Notifyer - sort of works, but very unreliable.
2. Nova Prime + TeslaUnread - Works with Stock Email/Phone/SMS/K9. Does NOT work with Emoze. Also, The bade doesn't really show "unread" count. It just shows the same count as the notification bar. If you clear the notification from the notification bar, the badge also disappears. This defeats the whole purpose of the "unread" badge for me. If I get 10 messages and I clear the notification but only read one message, the badge is gone!
Next up is Apex Paid and Apex Notifier. I'll also try Missed It (not really a "badge", but a widget).
Apex and Missed It
I've tried the latest version of Missed It. It does work, but with a couple of really big flaws. Problem 1: If I clear notifications from the status bar, the count is cleared from Missed It as well. Kind of pointless to have this app if all it does is mirror the notification bar. Problem 2: E-mail Count is wrong. I have more than one account configured in e-mail. I've tried multiple event settings set to all three different settings, but no dice. It appears that the stock e-mail app sends notifications with number of unread mails every time it gets a bunch of new e-mails. But it sends one notification per account. So count as single or multiple probably doesn't work since it sends only one notification if more than one new mails arrive at the same time. Count as value does not work since it sends one notification per account, so the last account notification overwrites previous. Count as value can work if it is additive. Note that Missed It is supposed to provide counts for Nova Prime, but I didn't bother with config since it does not work for me.
The last one that I've tried (and it worked) is Apex Pro. Don't know why I didn't try this first. Works right out of the box. Note that a companion app called Apex Notfiier must be installed. But is all seamless and works great with AOSP dialer, SMS, Calendar and E-Mail. On dialer, it clears the count if I clear the notification bar or open the dialer, which I think is ok. It does the proper thing for SMS, E-mail and Cal and retains the true count as report by the app. It is supposed to work with few other email clients including K9 but not with Whatsapp, facebook etc.
So, I stuck with Apex Pro ($4) in the end. Not sure why this is not native to Android since the badge/unread is very useful.
Hope this helps others.

On a different note, I couldn't find a decent email app that combines exchange 2010 + POP3/IMAP so I had to stick with Stock. Stock works fine, but limited in its user interface and tweakability. Be careful with Emoze as everything is routed through their servers in Israel.
Holo Launcher HD Plus supports this. Worked well when I tried it, but I keep some messages unread, so always seeing the red circles on my dark themes annoyed me. Lol
