[Q] change email icon - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there,
is it possible to change the icon of the email app? I have entered my gmail account in the settings and I get a simple envelope. Now, in some screenshots I can see people having a nicer icon (presumably hotmail icon) with some sort of waves going through it, and the envelope is tilted. I'd love to have this icon but I do not want to use a hotmail account. Is there some way I can force this icon to my gmail account?
regards

well, thanks. But that wont really work as that would make me lose live tile functionality.

Yeah, I know that sucks. Microsucks needs to let us customize.

Gmail Widget - For Labels, Not Inbox?

Not sure if this is an App limitation, or I missed the option, but is it possible to make the gmail widget select a specific label to display, or even an all mail option?
I guess I'm too organised in having almost all my mail feed into labels except the unexpected/boring ones, and now I don't get to have them display in widgets.
Ideally I'd like to have 2 or 3 full height widgets showing my most used label's new mail for quick access.
If the stock app can't do this, does anyone know of a replacement app or widget that can?
I spent a lot of time trying to find such a widget on my Desire phone and finally found the GMail Label Notifier widget.
It works brilliantly on my Desire; each widget can be associated with any label in any GMail account and it will take you to that label & account when you click on it. Each widget also shows the unread count as well as giving the ability to define a different vibrate & ringtone per label.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on Honeycomb but I suspect that it may work if you're rooted because of something I have read elsewhere. I'm not yet rooted but if you are, you could try. I'd really like to know.
The developer states that you can try it on Honeycomb and if it doesn't work to contact him and he'll refund. I contacted him less than 24 hours ago but he has not yet replied.
If we can get it working on Honeycomb it is really a great widget. As far as I know its he only one that has the 'per label' feature.
Thanks for the reply.
I have looked into GMail Label Notifier, but I was hoping for proper widgets that showed the actual mail's subject and first few lines of text. But beggers can't be choosers.

[Q] Anyway to change ICONS ?

Guys,
Is there any app or way to change icons for Apps, such as Gmail, messaging and stuff when using SENSE 3.0 ???? I did change them using LAuncher Pro plus, but i have realized that I like HTC Sense more than any other launcher.
Yes, get desktop visualizer in the market. It will work perfect with what you are looking to do.

You can also use Folder Customizer to change icons (and create better looking folders).
And there were plenty of apps that allowed customizing gmail's icon... Gmail label notifier was one of them... Now they are all gone? Removed by Google?

How do I show only the current weather and not the 4 day forecast?
btw, celsius is spelt with 2 's.
Thanks.
oooh nice and clean. keep it up!
using it right now.

This is great. I agree with nyloncrack above, that there should be an option for just the current weather. And also, for the notification icon, it would be much more useful if you had the current temperature instead of that image of a sun. Great app though!
Thanks for the share.Great idea for people that don't want a weather app on the home screen.
Here's the link for those who want to click directly from here: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orbar.NotificationWeather

I'm working on adding more customization options
nice catch on the Celsius typo. new version should be up shortly
looks nice but it's incompatible with my at&t htc one x
*didn't see it was 4.1+
Very good!!!
Great app. Would love the option to disable 4 day forecast. Looking forward to added features!

this is just great! keep it up mate!
Any chance this app gets released for 4.0?

This is a beautifully made app, congratulations! Just a request, could you add other languages, like Brazilian Portuguese? If you need help with translation I can help you with that!

Another request, can you please let us choose the weather providers? I'd like to use yr.no instead of Yahoo. They have a MUCH more extensive list of cities, especially in small countries like mine. Yahoo only has the capital and about 2-3 cities.
In all cases, thanks A LOT. Just a few days ago I was asking on Twitter if someone knew a weather forecast app that made use of Jelly Bean's notifications. And now, you did it!
A few additions:
1. Maybe add the option to have rain probability for today.
2. German "Umlaute", like ö, ä, ü will not display correctly.
Nice app all in all. I will try it out for a few days and then decide on keeping it or not =)
LOOKS GREAT!!!!
Just what I have been looking for.
For those that don't want 4day forecast, just two finger swipe up on the notification and it will shrink it.
The only suggestion I have: have an option to get rid of icon in status bar.
But looks great man, might I ask where you learned your coding? I would like to get into it.
I like it. Although when I uninstalled it, my phone restarted. GS3 with CM10 nightly.
Looking great, congrats!
As far as I know, you can't get rid of the icon, so it'd be great to have the current temp on it (yes, it has to be an icon resource, so you'll have to generate icons for all possible temps... sucks, I know)
Would you consider sharing the source code? I'm interested in programming a somewhat similar permanent notification widget and really think this could help me out.

Are you running 4.1? this app requires APIs that were introduced with JB.

Google introduced expandable notifications in android 4.1 (jelly bean) so unless they backport it to ICS, I won't be able to release it on ICS.

press hold on the icon and let go a little paintbriush will appear hit that and you'll see from there. just put the icon on your phone in a folder so it's easy to find in the gallery app

Need help finding a good notification badge app!!!

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
