Is there a way to put an SMS count on the Handcent icon? I use widgetlocker, and one of the swipe bars goes to my Handcent app.
...
I've been using Handcent for 2 years now, and I've always had an unread message count at the top whenever I've had unread IMs.. of course this may not be what you're asking about?
I believe you're talking about the iOS style unread notifications directly on the app icon.
If that's what you're talking about, I know that GO Launcher has an add-in that does this for the stock app and GO SMS. Whether it works for Handcent or not, I could not tell you; GO is better, anyway.

I love the SMS widget but I never use it because I don't like the default htc/hero sms app. I prefer chomp and sometimes handescent. Is it possible to link the sms widget to another sms app so when I tap on it, it opens another app and not the default one?
Only when you click the actual message and not the icon to list all conversations.
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.
Bump
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...
I was a Inc 1 user and asked a few times for this but it was like no one understood what i was asking for. i was wondering if its possible or if a developer would take the challenge of altering the stock sms/mms apk so that a preview of the message doesnt show up in the notification bar. I know Go SMS and Handcent have the option of showing "new message recieved" instead of showing the text contents in a privacy setting but i would like to keep the stock messaging app. puhlease someone. it would be greatly appreciated....

not so sure what u mean, or if it's possible, why not try handcent or go sms? I know u want stock, but may be the only way,
If you go under Settings>Privacy, it gives you 1 or 2 options. I'm not so sure since I'm using newtoroot's Sense 3.5 ROM and that may or may not be different from what you're using. (yes, I'm advertising a Rom, and yes, you should totally go for this rom.)
Handcent SMS does this. You can disable the preview per contact or just in general. You would disable the notifications in your normal SMS app and then set it so that Handcent is the only app that does notifications for SMS and if you disable the preview feature, it will just say "XXX-XXX-XXXX text you" or something like that
I've used handcent and am currently go sms. Was just curious if there was a way to do it for the stock. Guess it cant be done.

So is this possible for stock jb rom? I don't too care for the sms preview but I would like to have call and sms count (maybe even Gmail count) if those icons are on the lock screen.

Not on the Stock Lockscreen.
If you get WidgetLocker from the market you can add "Missed It" widgets or use built in Unread Counts to display badges on the unlock ring.
SMS Popup will sort of show a preview of SMS on Lockscreen.
Let me know what you think....
Hi All,
I'm using Nova Launcher 6 and Tesla Unread for years. The only thing that prevents me from updating to Nova 7 is the lack of Tesla Unread.
Is there an alternative to this addon?
Any update on this?
I'm not sure what you mean, tesla unread is obsolete we now have all the function built in Nova and Android. Enable notifcation access for Nova and select what kind dot, number customize color etc in Nova options. In order to select which apps use it and which dont you use android app notifcation settings individually and de-select use of the badge.

It is not the same functionality. As soon as you swipe the botifi ation away the unread count vanishes. Tesla unread always had a badge on the app icon with a count it never counted on the notifications.

I think that's the normal function, its an un-read count notifier, so it should go away once you've read or swiped away the notification, why would you want the number to stay, or am i misunderstanding?

But it's not how the old function worked. Previously TelsaUnread didn't rely on notifications for unread counts, ie. I don't want a notification for every work email I get, but I like the number showing on the icon.
To this day I am still using Tesla Unread and Nova6 for my unread message counter (for whastapp, gmail, etc.), is there no new solution?
The "notifications" counter doesn't work for me, since I have them disabled. I am not interested in a notification for each WhatsApp or for each email that arrives, which are dozens.... I want to know how many pending messages I have.
I don't understand this operation of android...
