Lockscreen Notifications

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)

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.

Smartwatch 2 Notification Settings

Hi there,
I'm looking for a way to configure my smartwatch in a way that every notification is shown within the watchface.
I want to be notified by vibration, but without displaying the notification on the screen as explicit fullscreen notification.
Does anybody know if such a configuration is possibly, maybe with third party notification apps or something else?
Thanks

In watch setting there are 3 way to display notification. The last is for just icon notification, no text.

yeah i already found that setting, but it's not what i was intrested in.
The screen is still being activated.
I'am looking for a setting where the "passive mode" of the smartwatch will not be interrupted.
Only the vibration should notify me, the screen should still show the smartface without background light.

You'll need a third party app. Here's what I use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget&hl=en_GB

Android Lollipop lock screen notifications

Hey
I have moto g with android lollipop 5.0.1
I want to have some notifications on the lockscreen, like call, sms and messager, but not gmail notification. And i want that it appear in the regular notification bar when it unlock.
How this is possible?
As far as I know, the notification bar and the lockscreen notifications are the same thing. You can block an app in Settings -> Sound and notification but it will affect both of them. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct..
I would like only the most important notifications (call sms and messager) to show up on lock screen
Maybe a new launcher from the Play store can help you. Sadly I have never tried any of them so I can't recommend one.
