[Q] Best lockscreen notification app? - Nexus 4 Themes and Apps

Hi! Which app do you belive is the best lockscreen notificaton app? I like nils very much, but even Lockepro isn't bad, love the swipe for dismiss or launch the app! Just hate that the clock won't refresh immediately XD

I like dashclock

+1 for DashClock

Dynamic Notification...hopefully this will be a preview of stock Android of the near future.

Nice app, but for Amoled screen it's quit better..On the Nexus 4 it's a battery killer!

I'll have to test battery life without using...I just thought the battery on the Nexus 4 was underpowered. I drain about 12% an hour with normal use.

Tried dynamic notifications, didn't care for it much. Back to using dash clock.

still using dashclock and happy with that

Tried to combine Knock and Dashclock but its not a goed mix...

I use Floating Notification. It's just enough and doesn't take up the whole screen. I like that I can quick reply as well.

Nils+ working great for me. I can read whole whatsapp messages, gmail, Facebook, all my notifications right on my lockscreen. Exactly what I was looking for.

Dashclock widget is great, coupled with dashnotifier extension you get everything covered

Question. Can you add weather and battery status on Nils like you can do with Dashclock?
I tried Knock V2 but its not a good combo with Dashclock

I personally prefer to use Floating Notifications, with HALO enabled. HALO is basically what PA uses to display their notifications. It launches the app in a floating window, so you can access it from full-screen apps such as games. Of course, you'll have to have a rooted phone for this to work, and enable HALO in the app as well as download the Xposed framework module.

Expandable Notifications App List

Just wondering if we could get a list together of all the apps that have implemented expandable notifications. I'm struggling to find many at the moment but think its a really good feature that a lot of apps could gain from using
Thanks, Tim
Power Toggles is one. Very useful especially for those who want to stay on stock

Good clock widget apps?

Any recommendations for a good clock widget? Something preferably with clock shadow for light backgrounds

I personally use "beautiful widgets" it does cost money but there is a reason it has sold over 1million copies.
Simiclock or HD widgets are also good but beautiful widgets is my favorite.

I have been using "One More Clock Free" from the google play store. It has a bunch to choose from and it will download additional clocks if you let it.

Ultimate Custom Clock Widget
It doesn't get any better than that. It's not just a clock widget. It really is one of the best apps I have ever used.
I've got mine using the 2 best and customized ones I've found (IMHO) : Minimalist Text (bottom part) and
AdvancedClock Pro (top) - overlapped them in Adw.

Beautiful Widgets and HD Widgets.

Everyone check out BobClockD3. It's a very modern looking digital clock with custom color options. My favorite and only clock widget I use.

The Swirly one is from the internet somewhere (has a black background) which I ended up using in the end.
These are great but many if them have black backgrounds. Can't use them on different color backgrounds
Yeah all these don't work for me. All I see is a black square in the back

If you use a third-party launcher, just long hold the icon and press edit and then press on the icon and change it to the one you desire to change it to.

This from the play store gives you a working three ringed clock on any launcher/ROM for those who dont want to flash. Been using for months and I am very happy.
Yeah the play store download doesn't have interactive service .
I was on a mission to find this Lol.
It works on most android phones . s3 .note .note 2 my nexus 4...
It uses its own launcher . just install each apk through astro and it works fine.

Don't think so. It comes up with an error, at least it did on Nova. It seems integrated to the launcher.

Transparent email widget?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could suggest an email widget similar to Simple Calendar Widget. My goal is to have the last X emails titles listed, with a transparent background.
Thank you for your help.
The only one I can think of is android pro widgets. You can control the shading of the background and make it clear if you want.

I've asked the dev; but never heard back.
There's a pretty massive void of email widgets, not sure if permissions related (?).
Pure messenger in the market works with gmail, have to be rooted though.
