Does anyone know if there's a better fix for getting the stock gmail widget to refresh when new emails arrive, than having to delete the cache and data in in the Settings -> Applications every few days?
it just seems to stop working after a while..
Alternatives are going back to the Asus unread count widget and app, but I prefer the the gmail app.. or using the widget from Elixir2, but that polls rather than being fired up by a mail push which isn't as good imho..
.. anyone?!

I'm looking for a facebook widget similar to what Friendstream offers. I have yet to find a scrolling widget that doesn't show the farmville spam. LauncherPro's widget shows the spam. I'd love to check out some AOSP roms, but without an alternative to FriendStream, I just can't make the jump.....
You could try pure messenger widget. It provides a similar function and is very customisable. However, that does make it hard to setup in the way that you want it to be.

When I had problem with the farmville spam showing up on my tweetdeck timeline, I went to facebook and explicitly disabled the farmville notifications from the timeline by clicking on the little "x" on the notification and choosing "hide" or something. After I did that it stopped showing up on tweetdeck and facebook.
So, maybe it isn't something with the widget or app, but something you should disable from the facebook website.
Ok I have the G2x and I'm coming from the G2. Neither has the ability to display on the gmail mail icon how many unread emails you have.
I downloaded gmail unread count but it only allows 1 account to be accounted for. I've used the thunderbolt and that one keeps track of all your email accounts on one icon, anyone know of an app that can do the same thing?

Launcher pro has that feature built in

Thanks, ill give it a shot. Had launcherpro on my g2, but ended up going back to stock due to random crashes. I still have no idea why this isnt a default ability, im sure im not the only person with several gmail accounts and want to know I have unread email on my home screen.

It can be used for Messaging, Missed Calls, as well as Gmail
It is a "widget icon" which replaced the stock icon
Works great
The sms unread count as well as the gmail unread count widgets only work with 1 account. What I want is a single widget to handle multiple accounts at 1 time. So if I have an unread email in 2 email accounts the widget would display a 2 on the icon.
I dont want a widget for each email account

I am quite confused at this time in technology we can't have the incons for emails show how many messages are available for individual accounts. I don't mean gmail but exchange etc. HTC does this for sense. Are there any roms that do this or something i am missing here? its ridiculous.
anyone know anything?
I would love to have some suggestions to this, too.
The included email app has this functionality to some extent. But, it only seems to works if you put in a shortcut to the entire inbox, and not individual accounts. Looks like the functionality goes away if you use another launcher.
And gmail's latest version doesn't allow 3rd party apps access to that information. So, the couple apps and launchers that used to give an unread counter for gmail, don't anymore.
Maybe try another 3rd party email client?
I tried a few 3rd party Apps. No go

"Enhanced Email" the app will allow a desktop widget that shows you how many unread emails you have.
You can also add the widget to your lock screen using Widgetlocker as the lockscreen app.
So I don't have to log into my phone to see how many unread emails I have. I simply press my power button and look at the lock screen..

K-9 Mail
K-9 Mail is free and the best Mail app.
I use both the Gmail inbox widget, which let's me preview and scroll through current mail without opening the Gmail app, and the Google Calendar widget which allows me to preview my calendar in agenda mode.
Both widgets have extreme lag in scrolling. Calendar has lag and sync/updating issues.
It was like this on my Edge (exchanged for regular S6) and on my new S6.
Anyone else experiencing problems like this?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm glad you mentioned this... I have the same issue as well... I only use the Google Calendar widget and that lags badly when scrolling through my agenda. When inside the app itself it is buttery smooth like everything else. Let me know if and when you find a solution that isn't an update.
I originally ignored this because let's face it... It's very minor.
Have the same issue , any updates?
Hi All,
My very first post on XDA forums, i have used these forums for great help in the past.
I'm a little stumped at the moment, i am using Dodol Launcher on my Nexus 5 with Lollipop OS, i'm about 90% happy with the whole launcher, just need to know if there's any good notification badge applications out there for Ebay? so when i get notifications in Ebay, the badge app icon with notification count comes up on the homescreen icon? An app which lets me select which apps show homescreen unread badge counts on the icon would be perfect!
Also, is there a good email app which supports multiple email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo etc) all in one, and will combine the unread messages as a badge app count on the homescreen icon?
Any suggestions would help, please don't mention another launcher as i'm quite happy with Dodol at thei stage.
Thanks!
The email app you need is my mail. I use it and it is superb. Takes all accounts plus you get an email account from them which just uses your phone no as a pass word so can only be used on your phone. Makes for really good names. As you put say your name then its just @MY.com. I've Gmail Hotmail etc on it and it takes nova notification badges
