Hi all. I have been looking for a very simple and not too large SMS Widget that I could place on WidgetLocker. Since I could not find any that would fit my needs (especially only being 4x1 max), I created one on my own.
I would like you to install this widget if you were looking for the same thing and kindly ask you to give me some feedback, what you would expect, or what could be improved.
Currently, the widget displays all SMS that it finds. This is planned to be only unread SMS. But I thought for testing purpose it's easier like this. The idea is to fully hide the widget once no unread sms are here (just looks better in WidgetLocker).
Features (v0.1.0):
automatic monitoring of SMS
hide the widget, if there are no sms.
Browse all sms
Automatically scroll Names.
Will display the currently displayed sms throughout all widgets (if you browse, all the widgets show the same sms).
Planned Features / Improvements
Easier button pushing
Auto scroll of text
Basic configuration (colors, disabling of features)
Themes for widget.
Mark SMS as read from widget
Delete SMS from widget.

Many thanks in advance!
PS: Since this is my first android app, I was not even sure, if I signed it correctly and so on, so please be a bit patient!

The app is just added into Google Play, please wait a moment before it's available to download.
PS: It seems that Google recently delays upto hours before making an app available to download

In the mean time, you may use a Torch app and make a shortcut on quickbar that you can quickly toggle it.
great app, thank you!
some observations:
- when searching through the contacts, it's not listed in alphabetical order
- if device is locked, when using create new sms, the device does not unlock, it just launches the messaging app behind the lock screen, would be great if it unlocks the device

Confirm these issues. Hope to fix it soon. Thanks for report.
a shortcut for the default alarm clock would also be nice
Hi Bao, hit me up with a PM if you're avail. for future freelance projects in Sai Gon

Reboot
Could you add a confirmation dialog to the reboot feature and a check box in settings for those of us that want the dialog box?
Also, could you add an option to merge multiple notification bars into one and put an arrow at the end(s) to switch between the bars?
why don't you take one picture up here?
Picture 1 shows how the notification bar would look before clicking the arrow on the right and picture 2 shows both notification bars and the arrows on the end of each shows that they are linked.
Two ways that this could be implemented are:
All bars are automatically linked and you could only have 1 bar showing at a time
Long press on one of the bars and click a link icon and then click another bar, with this you might want to put a box around the linked bars and automatically move them next to each other
I hope this makes it clearer.
thanks
I also thought that if you are able to make linked bars, that there could be an option to automatically create the linked bars after a limit has been met. Like a check box to enable a limit and another option to set a limit, list or text box. This would make this app that much more user friendly.
Great program
This program works great for me, unlike another similar notification bar program I tried that caused unexpected/unwanted changes to my phone's behavior.
Keep up the good work.

How to edit?
leducbao - this is a wonderful app, I use it all the time. A couple of things that I have not worked out, however, are:
1 How to edit an existing bar e.g. remove/replace shortcuts?
2 How to re-order icons in a "new" or "existing" bar (linked to question 1)?
I cannot find that these two issues are clarified in your FAQ and feel it would be really cool if they were explained (then again, I might have missed something, sorry if that's the case!).
Congratulations on a really, really good app.

I'd like a launcher made.
Make it so I can pin 4 open apps to the home screen, and if I dont choose to, automatically have it so the 4 last used apps are pinned.
Swiping to the left opens a unified notification and messaging inbox. Facebook, Text, BBM, Twitter, Skype, Outlook, Gmail.. ect
Swiping up and to the left from any application open the unified inbox
the launcher would have the following screens
Left - Notifications and messaging
Middle - Pinned and running apps
Right - All applications, no need for an app tray.
Material design.
Is this at all possible?
Possible Launcher Names
Inbox+

This app allows you to have as many touchable areas (triggers) on the screen as you want and each trigger allows you to open different sidebars depending on the touch gesture on it. Everything in this app is persobalisable.
Special features:
arbitrary number of apps, shortcuts, widgets or folders to a sidebar
arbitrary number of handles
many triggers to open a sidebar (slide up/down/left/right, click, double click, long press)
personalize colors, sizes, transparency, use icon packs and much more
Action Folder - clicking it directly opens the first app in the folder, swiping on it opens the folder
Action Sidebar - the trigger does not open a sidebar but directly start an app or a shortcut
Sidepages - page that shows your apps and allow you to fastly search them with the T9 predictive keyboard
Material Palette Colors - fastly select material colors
Quick Colors - fastly select colors that match your current wallpaper (material palette method to extract the main colors of your current wallpaper)
Supports resent apps and blacklists on all android versions
Planned features that are currently developed:
sidepage with direct widgets on it just like a real drawer and freely positionable apps, shortcuts, widgets and folders
integrate contacts and allow them to be search like apps on the all apps sidepages
...
Any feedback is appreciated and feature requests are welcome.

Tried the app - good
I tried the app; very good. I am on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S, 10.5", running on a SlimLP Android 5.1.1. The store would not let me download the app, stating it was not "compatible" with my device. I downloaded the file to my phone, backed it up, and installed it unto my tablet. I seems to be working fine.
Nice app, great bunch features and configuration. Endless possibilities. This app deserves more attention.
See it in action.

Excellent tool. Still thinking to get the pro but I suggest the following:
- Selection by sliding, without lifting the finger (Glovebox´s app style)
- Improve the floating widget because widget is not responding smoothly
Thanks.
I am really liking this so far and I plan on buying. Everyone should install this app and play with it for a few days, don't dismiss it too quickly it is very nice. Good job dev. Thanks
I installed the app yesterday and it is really great, congratulations on your app @prom85 :good:
I have some ideas to further improve the app, maybe you like the ideas, too:
1. Possibility to open sidebar/sidepage with a shortcut without having to use handle. A fast workaround would be allowing to set the width of a handle to 0dp.
2. Possibility to adjust the size of a sidebar/sidepage. I would like to have a sidepage with minimum size to see all my favorite apps on it. Therefore it would be great, if the sidepage would decrease its size if I decrease the number of rows/columns. A fast workaround would be increasing the maximum dp of possible padding in all directions to 1000(?).
3. I think I found a little bug: I use custom rom with navigation bar and I open sidebar/sidepage with a button on the navigation bar (via shortcut) and most of the time it works well. But sometimes not only the sidebar/sidepage opens but also your app opens in background of the sidebar/sidepage. The problem is, that I don't know why or when the functionality switches to "open both: app and sidebar/sidepage". Maybe you can have a look at it.
Last but not least I have a question: Is it right that I can use with the pro version icon packs AND change in addition the icons manually that don't look nice with the icon pack?
With kind regards

This is a useful app with many options. It is progressively getting better.
