Hi.
I recently installed widgetlocker and am loving it.. I use handcent sms and whenever I receive a message, i unlock to read the message via the popup and reply from the popup itself.
Now the problem is that (when widgetlocker is on) whenever I try to type in the popup edit box, whatever I input isn't showing up. This isn't the case when widgetlocker is disabled and the native lockscreen is functional.
Could someone please confirm this? I need to know if its the same for others as well.
I'm having the exact same issue with Widget Locker/Handcent. Did you find a solution?
Unfortunately, I haven't. Which is why I posted it here looking for leads
I've done abit of testing, looks like it only happens when:
1. Widget locker is set to be on top of the sms popups
2. Popup is viewed from when the screen is off
It works if I have the popup appear above widget locker, or if I have the screen turn on when an sms is received in Handcent. But if the screen turns off and I have to unlock it, then it doesn't work.
So it looks like the bug occurs when going from a screen off state to widget locker to the popup. At the moment I have it appear over the widget locker lock screen but would ideally like to unlock before seeing the popup.
Exactly! I can confirm the exact same scenario. I wonder why others using the two app combo haven't noticed it
Are you guys (or gals) using a different home launcher? I used to have this problem when using Launcher Pro Plus. I have since gotten a different phone, and am using ADW. It works as it should, now.
I have the same issue. Anyone gets a solution yet?

Looking for an app to show sms messages on locked homescreen. Any recommendations?
Flyscreen?
If you're referring to an app which shows a new sms popup on a locked screen, Handcent SMS and ChompSMS both do that. Handcent has the option to not show the sms contents, not sure about Chomp though.

How so? I can't seem to figure it out.
If you're using Chomp, there are some options under Settings > Quick Compose & Reply. Not sure if you have to set the popup notification to be on under Settings > Notifications. Note that I haven't actually tried this yet as I'd rather not have notifications on my lock screen.
I know it works for Handcent though, as I used to have it enabled. Should be under the notifications settings somewhere, can't quite remember as I haven't used Handcent for quite a while.

Doesn't show it on the lock screen, but disables my lock screen when I have a new message.

Are you using Handcent or Chomp? I know Handcent worked as of ~1 month ago without disabling the lock screen (referring to the lock screen which require a pattern unlock, not sure what happens if you don't have that enabled).
I use SMS POPUP. Great app.

Thanks guys will check them out! This is just what I've been looking for .
I am using WidgetLocker along with Go SMS Pro. I really like the popup feature, but I dont want it to popup when I am on my Lockscreen in WidgetLocker.
I causes me to miss out on some sms because when WidgetLocker locks my screen again after the popup GO SMS think it is because I have read the sms, and then it removes all notifications of ever receiving a new sms.
When using stock lockscreen the popup is visible after unlocking my screen, but not i WidgetLocker. Any solution to get this working? It works find with Handcent, so I guess this has something to do with GO SMS.
Is there a way to get notifications and reminders on the lock screen without rooting the device? If so, how? I already tried Lockscreen Calendar, but it won't work with the AT&T/Samsung lockscreen. I missed an appointment today because I never saw the reminder.
For reference, here's a recent article on Customizing Android Lockscreens.
http://maketecheasier.com/customizef-android-lockscreen-for-maximum-productivity/2011/09/17
ditto. anyone
I found a program called Nudnik, which will create a popup, turn on the screen, and can unlock the screen. But when the screen times out, you still have to get through the standard unlock screen to find the popup underneath.
I'd still like to get all of my notifications to show up on the lock screen.
Executive Assistant
I've been using Executive Assistant (free version that has very unobtrusive ads) on my SGS2. It shows missed calls and texts, emails, calendar events, voicemail. Maybe some more, but that's all I have showing. It's scrollable, too, which is nice.
It took me a bit to get it where I wanted it, but I absolutely love it. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for in a lockscreen notification center.
I hear great things about Widgetlocker, too.

Awesome!
Why not use widgetlockscreen it only cost about 2.00 or something like that in the android market. Then you can put anything on your lockscreen.

You can download Lock Screen Reminder, it is a free app from MobileProgressive. Download it directly from google play or slide me.

Hi,
I have question about Widgetlocker and ADWnotifier. Is anyone can get these work to show up count in lock screen? I use Go Launcher Pro. But Widgetlocker documentation said ADWnotifier works fine without ADWlauncher, how ever I can not get it work...
(Go launcher notification works fine in home screen but not in wideget locker lock screen. )
Any one using this?
Edit:- May be I am wrong earlier, It seems working though now. Still like to hear from others. [Earlier I has GoDialer, GoSMS on lock screen now I placed default dialer, sms application option from widgetlocker options which seems working)
Exact same setup. Go Launcher Pro, Widget Locker, and ADW Notifier. Works fine. If you run into problems again, just change the icons/apps on the lockscreen.
I remember having lock screen notifications using ICS on my old Xperia T. It would show text, Facebook, calls, etc on the lock screen.
Does anyone know a decent mod or app to use for enabling lock screen notifications?

Hi there been trying loads over the weekend, all the ios7 etc, an awful lot of them have flaws like letting access to the phone through the recent app button. there have been several plus sides as well. At the moment i have found this app "Echo Notification Lockscreen" on the play store. I have also added "iControl(IOS 7 Partner)" but again there were limitations not all the actions will work with this lock screen.
The ultimate which i've not managed was an IOs lock screen (that was actually secure) that let you reply to text messages (and others) without having to unlock the phone (1 app did that but wasn't secure).
Try to use Nils from Google play
Hi again, just a bit more info. I have had another go today at finding the best solution. several sms apps will display on the lock screen but then disapear after a set time, no good if you missed it as it arrived.
I have been playing with the Nils app before and I am unable to get contact pictures to display next to messages, even after trying several sms apps and being in touch with the developer.
But the best I've managed so far is as follows. A app called iOS 7 Lock Screen Theme by huntdevs gives a plain lock screen which can slide to reveal a pin code screen. On the plain screen you can then use NiLS Lockscreen Notifications by Roymam this will then display sms and other notifications on the lockscreen, these remain on the screen untill opened, even if the screen times out and is turned back on manually, furthermore you have the ability to reply to them from within the app whilst still locked.
Warning as I said earlier there is a facility to disable the home button but the recent app button is still active meaning that any apps used recently have the ability to be opened without unlocking the phone. Further more the pin lock screen gives you access to the emergenecy dial function and sadly again where as the default lock screen will only let you dial an emergency number, this app will let you see all of your contacts and further more dial any number you want!!
One final thing the ios7 locker does give you access to the functions of the Iphone from the slide at the bottom of the screen and for me the added advantage of this app over several of the others is that the phone function icon is missing (all be it available through the emergency function).
hope tihs helps.
I use NiLS. I purchased the pro version so i can customize it to my liking and for the ads not to draw my data. It works like a charm, instant, and looks almost stock.
I have attached an image for an example.

Hi there I see you have the same issue as I have experienced the App refuses to show the contact picture (unless of course you don't use them).
On a further note i have had to uninstall the iOS7 lockscreen, apart from the issues already mentioned, a big down side for me turned out that the app kills sound from the walkman app when the screen goes off, so listening to music, throwing to a sound bar or linking to a car Bluetooth are all muted. So again im back to stock lockscreen with just the Nils app over the top for indication only.
When i first installed the app it would show the users image. I didn't like it so I changed it to App Icon. Oddly, i tried to switch it tot he other 2 settings, and now it does't appear. .. oh well i am not really worried about it. I like the basic icon look instead of the pictures.

Is that how you have the default sony clock with the nils notifications in your picture?

The clock and lock screen is all sony stock. NiLS will just add the notification over whatever lock screen you have.
Will it work with a PIN locked screen? There's not much space for notifications actually so I wonder how it would look.

It doesn't the lock screen always starts maximized, Dash clock used to have the option to just have a padlock at the bottom of the screen so your information was always visible when turning on the phone but the latest version of that always starts with the lock pattern or number pad visible and you have to swipe down every time to view notifications and then back up again to unlock your device (there all a pain now with extra strokes needed to use them)

How come when I use nils on my stock I have to resize the clock to see notification?

Odd, I know you can resize/change the location of the NiLS. When you have a NiLS message on your lock screen, tap and hold down on the notification to adjust (i had to adjust mine because when it was charging the notification would be on top of the charging percentage)
After installing again and play around I knew my original mistake. Just do not add nils as lockscreen widget. Let nils display notification automatically then I can resize.
BTW will this lockscreen feature notification be part of Android L? Just thinking on buying the nils pro version.
