hello everyone
i am still in decision on what to use as my launcher
i like tw4 but i use handcent and not the stock messaging app.
ive replaced the stock messaging app in the dock and i have also switched all the notifications off for the messaging app but i still get the notification on the icon in the applications list saying i have 1 unread message. the only way i can get that off is by clicking on the stock messaging app and viewing the message... this is really annoying as i would have to check it twice.
is there a fix for this?
i would also like to know which launcher is lighter and takes less ram.
all help is much appreciated
kind regards

Unread email counter doesnt work with adw launcher. I have tried adw notifier but it only helps on gmail and the other. Its only showing the icon without the counter. I'm using the stock email app and the counter shows just fine in touchwiz. Any know how I can fix this?

Doesnt seem to be much in the way of replys on this forum
I have the same problem with Galaxy Tab
Hi,
Anybody figured out how to get the email counter with Adw launcher? I was getting this counter correctly with default Samsung Launcher but not with ADW.
Thanks

Searching ADW launcher you will find many people with the same complaint. IT just doesnt support it. I have seen reason ranging from they didnt build it that way too Android does not have an open DB connection for it.
No matter what the reason it sucks and the people using the "Stock" apps are screwed unless you get K-9 or us the gmail app itself (which I dont particularly like).
I have found that if you buy tasker you can make build a workaround with that and minimalistic text. But I did not like the way it did it. and it didnt give me a unread count option :\
Wish I could be more help
Thanks,

PS I use a droid incredible.
I am using the SMS unread count widget and i like this app a lot. but i would prefer to launch either GO sms or handcent sms whenever i launch the app, instead of launching the stock SMS.
I've tried to clear default from stock SMS but there is still no option for me to select the program which i like to set as default.
any idea on this??
use go launcher ex and this get go launcher ex notifier, just seems like a very easy way to do what u want the way u say u would like it and it seems the 2 would compliment one another as well.

i want to know as well... i tried to clear the default app but strange thing is for stock Messaging "default" is greyed. so i can't even clear it..but i would like to open GoSms through sms unread count :s
Anyone? Use SMS Count to open Go SMS so we can get an SMS counter on Widgetlocker screen, but use Go SMS as primary SMS.

Having the exact same problem... Also tried Missed it, but the same thing happens...
Seems this widget has other issues if you read the reviews. I have handcent and it has its own widget that does basically the same thing I believe. Just shows the icon with a number of unread messages? I am betting Go SMS has its own widget too but wouldn't know as I don't use it.
True, I use Go SMS, and its widget, but I'd prefer SMS Unread Count for its ability to pick any icon... The Go SMS widget has a choice of three integrated icons which I'm not really fond of...
When I first got this phone, the SMS icon on the first page would show if i have an unread text (eg. shows 1 on the icon). I have since installed Calkulin's rom and pro launcher as my launcher program. The icon no longer shows how many unread texts I have. I think it may have to do with the fact that I probably accidentally deleted the default sms icon and had to add it back by adding the application (messaging) to the dock bar. No matter what I try though it won't show how many unread I have now.
It may be important to note that if I go to touchwiz launcher, it will still show the unread count. Both launcher ex and launcher pro will not.
Has anyone encountered this? It's kind of annoying since it's an important feature. Thanks for any help.
You should search the Launcher Pro forums and FAQ. I stopped using that Launcher but there are ways. As you said, it works with Touchwiz, so the problem is how you've set up Launcher Pro.

I've always wondered if there is a custom messaging app that is mostly stock except that you could have a "privacy mode" like on handcent where your message couldn't be read/seen from the status/notification bar. Also the setting to have the app locked with a password the same way as handcent or any other 3rd party messaging app. I ask this because I prefer the stock look feel to the stock app. I would rather not have to use any 3rd party app. If anyone knows of anything like this I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
So I'm guessing there isn't any app like this?
HI, got the kitkat 4.4.2 on my 9195 4G LTE and the stock sms app has added some stupid contact icons next to every message you send or get. I know its a small thing but IT REALLY REALLY ANNOYS ME! Add that to the stupid txt and call alerts that appear on the lock screen... well I really wish it was on 4.1.2 like my old S3.
Well to combat the lock screen rubbish I rooted and used an Xposed module to disable the alerts.
Now the SMS app, does anyone know if the stock ANDROID sms app has the message icons? Or is this a samsung thing?
If the stock android hasn't got these message icons then can I remove the samsung version and install the android stock sms app? (If so where would i get it)
If not, does anyone know how to remo e the message icons? And I have tried other sms apps and don't care for them.
Thanks

At least on Cyanogenmod 10.1, the icons are there as well. I would bet dollars to donuts it is on the AOSP one too (as CM wouldn't have touched too much of this app form the AOSP original).
But I can fire up my AVD's and check out AOSP for you, even look as to what version the profile photos were added.
