Hi XDA-
I have been flashing back and forth between Darky and CM7 lately, and I've noticed something CM7 does that I'd love to port to Darky or elsewhere if possible.
The icons for google voice and Plume (not widgets, icons) show unread counts, which I have not seen anywhere else.
Anyone know how this is being done? So far as I can tell it isn't something ADW Launcher is offering (which comes installed with CM7).
Your insight is appreciated.

Hello, I've got a HTC Legend and am interested in rooting and flashing a new ROM.
I'm deciding between Modaco's custom ROM (with Sense) and Cyanogen.
I've had a look around but just wanted to see if some people know of some alternatives I haven't seen already. Cyanogen has some great features and it'd be awesome if I could find some good replacements.
I already use alternative launcher (Launcher Pro), music player (Power Amp), and widgets are no problem.
Main things I like from HTC Sense are the apps:
Dialer/Contacts - look really nice, smart dialer is great, contacts works well with linking contacts and synchronising with facebook etc. Pretty interface
Have tried DialerOne but I don't like how you can't change the colour of the buttons and doesn't deal with contacts as well as Sense
Also a bit off topic but I noticed that while DialerOne replaces the Dialer app, when I make a call through DialerOne it still uses the Sense "Phone" part to make the call. What does the Cyanogen 'Phone" part look like and what are some alternatives of this?
Clock app - with the different tabs down the bottom for Alarm, Stopwatch, world times, etc
Photos app - however I could replace with 3D Gallery on CM if it isn't too laggy.
Lockscreen - really smooth and cool effect how it slides down and has status indicators on it like battery low, flight mode, missed calls etc.
I have looked at WidgetLocker and it has some features which would be convient but it doesn't work perfectly, like it goes to Sense lockscreen for a second then to Widget Locker. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Is it not a problem on Cyanogen? And the Sense-style slide bar on Widget Locker is bad compared to real Sense one.
So yeah any advice/recommendations would be great.
The best advice would be to try out both and see which one suit you best
I use a variant of Cyanogen 6.1 and love it! A note on some of the things you mentioned:
Dialer one is complete rubbish! Lags waay to much, and looks quite ugly imo. I would suggest getting youlu address book. I was blown away by the speed off this app! and the interface is sweet... along with a handy widget! Highly recommendable.
The facebook integration has never been great on cyanogen ROMs. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Main problem is contact pictures syncing. I think that may be due to a problem with launcher pro, but in my opinion Launcher Pro Plus is the best launcher out! Hopefully the re-write of the code (due January) will fix this. In the meantime you can get an app called syncmypix as a workaround.
The 3D gallery is slow on my GSM Hero.. works great on faster devices! QuickPic is a great alternative for slower devices
Hello there. I was playing around with the icons in the dock for LauncherPro and stuck Go SMS there. Is there any way to make it display an unread count much the same way the stock messaging app does?
HTC Thunderbolt running BAMF Remix 1.6.3, fyi.
So i was running the Bionix Frost rom and i was able to make it show me how many unread SMS and g-mail messages i had on top of the icons. Not in the notification bar.
Now i moved onto Black Ice and i can't for the life of me find the settings for this option.
anyone have any way of making this happen again? Or maybe Krylon could see this and let me know if it isn't possible?
Its launcher pro. You need to go into the launcher pro preference

Hi gojimi,
as a noob, I cannot ask my question directly to your VTL Launcher thread but I have read it thoroughly and since this matter has not been discussed so far, I decided to ask you. But first - VTL is the best launcher for my Galaxy Tab. I have tried them all. Even the biggest like ADW and GO Launcher EX are not so cunningly coded. I have bought the VTL from the market, although there are so many ways to get it free. I simply think that good things must be donated. It is trully a Tablet Oriented Launcher. Especially after I flashed the Gingerbread to the Tab, everything is so snappy.
And, my question:
Can you make some additional add-on, or just include it in some version to come the option to have the little red circle showing up over the app icon of mail and messages that indicates how many unread emails, gmails or text messages there are.
Apart from the stock Samsung launcher, I think only the Go Launcher has this add-on available.
Thank you!
unread count
i would also like to see this available for vtl launcher
Well I just migrated over from Gingerbread to cMIUI 2.4.7 and it's obviously a huge difference. I have some questions about the new platform that I hope someone can answer
How can I use wifi calling? It was pretty straightforward in GB 2.3.6
Attempting to use Voice Search in any way results in an FC. How can I fix this?
How can I enable the app drawer in the original miui launcher? I've had to resort to using ADW, which means I lose most of the theming and widgets of miui.
On the Miui launcher, how can I fix the background on the left side? It seems like the background doesn't "fit" because there is a black section to the left of the background image.
How can I have music controls on the lockscreen?
Please and thank you =D
