I have just bought the All-In-One Carbon watchface which is great and very customisable. You can show 5 apps along the bottom and click through directly to each of them. It also shows a notification e.g. on the Messages app if you have a waiting text. My problem is that I use Gmail rather than the native Email used by Samsung on my Note 3. I do get Gmail notifications on the watch in the normal way but I would like to see the notification on an app on the main watchface if possible. Would that mean I have to use Email rather than Gmail on my phone? If so, I'll leave it as I much prefer Gmail.
Thanks.

Is there a way to have the regular email client show u how many unread emails u have??? When I look at settings under launcher pro it only shows Gmail SMS and phone notifications. Would love to have an email notification =)

Regular email client does show notifications in the status bar at the top. Pull down and there is a count.
thanks. is there a way for that number to appear on the dock?
K-9 has that. It's also a better email client IMHO, especially if you use IMAP folders extensively.
hmm seems as if i dont receive emails on k-9.... thanks though.
launcher pro also gives you the option for notifications on the dock bar...

it gives u the option only for gmail. was wondering for the regular email client... thanks though! still strying to get k-9 to work.... not able to send or receive messages...
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..

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

I prefer " Google Messenger " for texting, over the stock Messages that the Note 5 uses by default. But I am running the ' Dark Material ' theme, and installing Google Messenger is all white, and sort of blinding after everything else being so nice and dark with the theme.
Does anyone have an .apk of an inverted or dark themed Messenger ? Can I use one found on a different phone, like a themed Messenger from the Nexus 5 or 6 ? or does it need to be specifically made for the Note 5 ?
Also one other question. How do I set Google Messenger to be the default text app ? I know when installing ti the first time, it asks if I want to use it as the main sms app. But when I would miss a text, I still shows the Samsung Messages Heads Up notification on the location.

They both have heads up notifications. So if you're using Google Messenger as your main text app then you are seeing Google Messenger heads up notifications. But if not...go to the Google Messenger app....then to settings...and it will be right there at the top

Thanks. And do I need to do anything to completely stop the stock Samsung Messages from showing Heads Up ? I basically want that app turned off, and just use Google Messenger only. I want Google Messenger to show up on the lock screen only.

once you activate google messenger as your default sms....it will totally deactivate your stock messenger in every way. Now if you want google messenger heads up deactivated....i dont think you can lol I could be wrong though

Does anyone have a dark mod / inverted Google Messenger .apk ?
Messenger so much better than stock but would love a dark theme
Sorry to hijack the thread, OP. Are you able to send and receive MMS through Google Messenger? Thanks.
I too am looking for a blacked out theme
Ill try to theme out the latest google messenger apk. Itll most likely be a material dark gray color with white text.

Heads up notification will get rid of all pop ups but I think you have to be rooted. I use it and it works well. For dark themed apps use Darth stalkers rom

Hi,
I am using Note 4 DE and I have 4 Exchange accounts set on 3 different applications: Nine Exchange, Touchdown Exchange for Smartphones and built-in email app in addition to two GMAIL accounts, all of them with different colored light and notification sound thanks to Light Flow. I am wondering if the Gear S2 will display all notifications coming from all the apps previously mentioned? Is there a setting that allow us to select which notifications to be sent to smartwatch or it is capturing only standard apps like Gmail, Hangouts and Messaging?
Also, do I have options to reply to these messages?
Thanks.
you can select up to 12 apps to have their notifications pushed to watch. Use Samsung Gear app for this.
Only 12 apps?
There is a setting in the Gear Manager application.
Only 12 is misinformation pure and simple, I get notifications for 108 apps,the only app that the notification don't get push to my watch is YouTube
Yeah that indeed is false info...even my original S had no limit on app notifications lol. Just use Samsung Gear to enable notifications for any apps you want; no limit on how many you can enable.
I use Blue Mail as my email client and I cannot get its notifications to show on my Gear S2! I have it set to show Blue Mails notifications in the Gear app. Any suggestions?
