Change sense mail icon and have it display unread messages? - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

So im able to change the stock sense mail icon using desktop visualizer but then when i receive an email it does not display a 1 over the icon. I do not use email notifications as i get many emails through my exchange account throughout the day and dont need to be notified but i like having the unread number on my icon. Is there any way to have a custom icon and have it display then number of unread messages over top of it? Thanks!

Anybody....

sorry bro im pretty sure that it is possible but its going to take alot of time for one to find out how to do this and they require dev skills that i dont have im just a flasher/donator... not trying to be rude in anyway but i dont think someone will want to take the time to find out how to do this... who know someone might have already done this and shared it over the internet but you just need to look for it...

Kind of figured just wanted to see if anybody has done it.

dont know if this helps but there is a app in the market called GmailUnread count. It has different colored icons as well, and does the job. I am using it as we speak!

Unfortunately im in no way shape or form a developer. I have a good understanding of things but dont come up with my own mod's or tweaks. I would be more than willing to do this myself if i knew how.

i would be more than happy to assist you with that. give me the icon you would like me to replace the stock one with. and just so were clear, you are talking about the green bubble on the mail app right?

Correct the green unread mail count that appears over the icon. Icon is attached. I greatly appreciate your help with this!

ok. do you want this as the app icon or as the bubble? just curious because that would cover most of the icon.

I would use the icon as a shortcut for the mail app. The unread count can be smaller if that is possible. I really appreciate this and will definitely donate when completed.

try this out. flash it via recovery.

Luckily i did a nandroid backup before attempting to flash. The file would not flash as it gave an error in ra. I toggled sig verification and still got an error. Afterwards phone wouldnt boot past splash screen and had to restore nandroid.

That's horrible. 8/

Hero on Boost
hey guys! I have a hero phone from sprint and im DYING to connect it to boost mobile! I have the bb curve with boost right now. Can you guys help me do this process? what do i need to do?
I have an issue with MMS. Does the Sprint Hero not allow u to receive animated text messages? I'm running the CsRom 2.1.7, but even running the stock Rom it wouldn't work. U would think having a damn near $600 phone this would work. I have friends that send me animated texts all the time and either they come up with just a non moving pic or there is a pic with a video symbol on it and when u click it the screen flashes and goes back to the home screen. Any comments would b very helpful and Ty in advance: )

wow, resurrecting an ancient thread that has nothing to do with what ur asking is probably not the right route to finding ur answers.. i would suggest a little searching, and if not, maybe creating a NEW thread in the Q&A forum...

are u using the stock messenger? if so, try handcent instead if u haven't already..
Yes I've tried Handcent and Chomp but animated text messages will not animate at all. I have friends that don't have snazzy smartphones but yet they can get animated text messages. Its something else. Is the HTC Cdma Hero not compatible to receive those style of messages. I can send and receive pic and normal texts but nothing animated. It just shows up as a regular old pic. Grr... I wish I could figure this out. Ty for the comment tho

[REQ]SMS Send Animation & Snap Photo With Volume Rocker

Hi, can someone create a cab file to make a loading animation when sending
SMS like the iphone or anything, cause more likely it seems like the text window dialog box which you type in, flickers when SMS were send out. Another thing
is to enable the side volume rocker to snap photos with HD2 camera.
Thx
Bump
Hope there's some reply.
Good idea, id like it ass well
Yeah there is no Sent notification which is really annoying so a BIG +1 from me!
This is missing in HD2, could someone work it out here, thanks in advance....

Dude that threat is more to text animation smileys, I want a SMS send animation something like iphone. Cause in HD2 after sending SMS the text box
which you typed only flickers to indicate SMS were send. Perhaps someone
can create an mini loader above the text counter "0/160"

Message sent notification is only available if you disable HTC messaging and go back to the standard WM messaging instead. You can then activate sent notifications using the Advanced Config 3.3 app
HTC messaging bypasses the Windows system and is tied to all the other apps like contacts. Do a google of this and you will find the answer instantly.
I use WM messaging instead and find that it is MUCH faster, has ZERO issues with stuff like proper capilaization and works with ALL keyboards. The HTC messaging is still completely buggy....
This has been mentioned in many other posts before...

unfortunately, afther looking myself into this, and afther discussing it with some developers here on the forum, i've come to the same ideea like the others, anything i do or add the sms tab still shows the background, seemd like htc does not want backgroud for sms text.

What about being able to change the font colour of the sms tab then? that way we just select the most visible colour after choosing a wallpaper

well i know for a fact that there is a user called rotastrain who successfully did this! I know this because he did this for a leo rom for the xperia! he did it by making a dark pad in the background of the message tab so this is possible. im sure because I tried his rom when i had the xperia phone. maybe someone can pm him? im definitely +1 on this!

2.1 Messaging App Facebook Status on Froyo

Hey all,
I really liked the fact that i could see the facebook status of the person that i was texting at the top of the thread in 2.1. Is there anyway that you could get that same functionality in Froyo?
haha i just noticed its not there! LOL nice catch. Bump to this
i still have it
Would porting the messaging app from 2.1 to 2.2 be the only way we could do this? Would this even be possible? Because i know a lot of people use Handcent but the reason i dont use it is because i like being able to see the persons most recent facebook status at the top of my thread

It's a gray box for you because your sim doesn't list your number. If you see your number under Settings -> About -> Status. If it lists your number under My Number you can just add yourself as a contact with a picture and it will show up. Otherwise there are some phones that allow you to add the number. I personally used a simcard-reader/writer for my computer.
Yeah i have seen the messanging app on my freinds phone and i dont really mind the fact that there is a picture for each message, but I would really miss seeing the persons most recent facebook status because I might not necessarily see thier status on my news feed. The lack facebook status on the messanging app is the only reason I havent flashed the froyo test build

I know, but thanks for your help. I had to use an old SE phone to change my SIM number. But seriously this is a really large oversight on Google's part. Like I am suppose to make a contact of myself just so I can have a picture there?? That's ridiculous.
Is also like this. Much prefer the messaging app from cyanogenmod /:

Working on it now, looking good so far too! Once I sign it I will post a screenshot here! If it works, that is.
Not sure why but When I zipped the files back it's smaller than the original. I Looked in every folder and nothing has changed. I push the signed apk and it will not show up as an app. I tried to install and fails. Here are the images if someone wants to try it out. I'm not an app maker so clueless what's going on!! Facebook app didn't do this so dev must have encoded something? I have also themed the search widget, google voice widget, power widget, and the Browser black and no issues!!!! Help
