Lockscreen Notifications - Nexus 4 Themes and Apps

Hey I found his nice app for displaying missed called, email and text message notifications on the lock screen somewhat like the iphone. It's setup as a live wall paper to show notifications in the background, that way you don't need to change our your original lockscreen.

can someone post the apk, it says that my nexus 7 is not supported for some reason.

The app is pretty good but I notice the home screen lags just a bit with it enabled.

I had major lag with this. Might need a 4.2 update before it runs right. Great app tho.

I wasnt able to figure this out, can multiple Gmail accounts be used with this widget?

Same here. Too much lag to use.

Trying to figure out how to make the widget show on the main screen (under the clock) like in your image. Can't see a setting that does it... anyone else figure that out?

That's a screenshot of WidgetLocker, not the stock lockscreen.

Fix for washed out colors on Nexus 7-toggle for nvidia tegra 3 prism

Just came a crossed an app that disables the tegra 3 screen dimming function which causes the washed out colors. The app is nvidia tegra prism toggle...used it and noticed a big difference but MUST BE ROOTED TO USE THIS APP
MOD Edit: Links Removed.

It can and does open but ask for rooting rights as soon as it starts
Worked great here. Thanks for the find!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
it's been sad many times,i think there's also a 3ad somewhere of prism toggle by nvidia.Anyways,if you don't want to buy the app,you can use the tricksterMOD app and by disabling smart-dimmer in the proper tab,you do the same thing (echo "0" > /sys/devices/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable)
EDIT ehi,but it's warez!!!!!!!!!!!PULL IT OFF!
thanx guys, trying this out,,steve

I noticed that if I'm playing a youtube video, and I press the recents button, the icons look wash out/almost white. not anymore with this app.

there is no problem with the display. its a power-saving feature which doesnt save any power from what i was able to find out.
problem is that it washes out your colors. its extremly visible when you watch video for 10-20min and then press HOME. it stays like this for good 30+sec. after that it goes back to normal. watching a lot of movies, its visible whether I have this turned ON/OFF.

Honestly.....

Why does Google do such weird things all the time? I know other people have to think the same thing about why they design an OS the way they do. For instance clicking the clock in the status bar takes u to time settings instead of clock or calendar(when we all have auto time enabled)? And I'm pretty sure(at least I hope) its a bug, but the stupid new camera rotation is beyond dumb. And why they took the so much fun camera effects out, I may never know... I do love Google but just question their Dev team sometimes... sometimes a lot
But that is why we have these wonderful devs across the forums. I can't thank you guys/gals enough!!!!

The slow camera rotation is intentional. The Android Dev team spoke about it. As for camera effects, I don't know how many people actually used them. Sure, Mac users seem to use them quite a bit, but I don't know about Android users.

Yea I meant alarms.. Lol. Or even clock app would be smart
Why on EARTH would u want camera lag when changing the phone orientation... Then u end up missing Ur shot!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The rotation lag doesn't bug me too much. It usually takes a second or less to rotate. I usually know what orientation I want my picture to be, so I'll press the camera app in that orientation.

Just lock rotation when you want to use your camera, if you are using a rom with toggle rotation it wont be that hard to press a toggle.
I personally always disabled rotation, and only enabled it when i want to use it.

Another thing that bothers me is app drawer. the black background is still stuck in the Gingerbread era.
If I lock rotation to to a pic in landscape its going to take the picture in portrait but I guess u could just rotate it in the gallery... But still useless as fuhk. I'd rather deal with the lag of swiping to my pictures than the actual camera itself... Come one Google... You're better than this... Back to 4.1 camera I am

IMO the black background is nice to quickly identify icons. U know u can always use third party launchers to change that..

+1. Is it even worth stepping back from jedi 6.1.2? The only thing I can think of is the better battery life of the stock rom over the custom ones if all we are getting is the multi windows software from this.

I've noticed that there are new ink colors for the pen on the lock screen. Also, it feels like haptic feedback is a bit weaker.
Anyone know if we can customize the toggles in the notification window?

Try under display. I see it on clean ROM, and someone said theyd noticed they were rearranged I bet they included that as well.
Don't see anything under display. Bummer I guess
For some reason the multi view is not working any more.
I got the little tab. . But when I click program like google mail and Chrome the open in full screen. It worked for a few hours but then it stopped. ..

Patching it using ExynosAbuse breaks the camera now, though.
Back Button does not activate multi-window
I am on stock ROM no rooting done at all.
After the update, tried to hold down the back button but will not activate the multi window.
I can only activate it on the notification bar.
Please advise and thank you.
I would make sure under settings that its enabled and if it is then try a reboot and renable the feature as I have two notes one which is stock and works just fine

Slow clock on lock screen?

I'm having a problem with the lock screen clock updating really slow. It takes at least 2-3 seconds everytime I turn of my phone to look at the time. The small clock on top next to the battery works fine though.. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
This has been driving me crazy ever since I got the phone, I've tried to just forget about it. Hopefully someone knows about this and has some way to fix it, whether its a different clock widget or a setting somewhere.
Its a problem with all the widgets I'm finding. They take longer to load up during start up.

[Q] What have you noticed that has changed in T-Mobiles KitKat?

Things that I'm curious about right off are:
1. What color is the dialer? Is it still white or have they changed that to dark?
2. In the "Internet" app (not chrome) can you "Open page in background"?
and bonus
Have you experienced any problems with files (moving, naming, editing, accessing, coping info back and forth from interral to external, ect...) on the MicroSD card through a downloaded file explorer app (ie ES File Explorer)?
Hangouts now uses the emoji from the Samsung keyboard instead of Google emoji. Kind of annoying.

Anyone try their dialers or internet yet?

Same thing, internet seems to be the same, no difference.
Most of the notifications are white, kinda liked the green battery.
Camera shortcut in lock screen
The font in notifications is different
Can't find much else
I was hoping to see a fix for the messaging app. When backing out of a text message it can take up to 5 seconds to go back into your message list. It's really annoying.
Checked- still does the same thing. I can't believe a 3rd party app can do this better. Unbelievable.

I noticed the reception is better now:laugh: No seriously what with the full bars!! I always have full bars even when I know im in an area where is barely reception. and Yes the dbm meter is displays the correct reading but the bars are way off. I tried with the international Kitkat rom and I got the same result. Looks like its a kitkat thing across the board. Kinda reminds me of AT&T and Apple saga over the inaccurate iphone reception meter.
