Hi. Have had a search through and can't find a similar thread, so apologies if I've missed one.
I'm looking for a (free, ideally) locksreen customisation app. I'm not fussed about directly launching apps from the lockscreen, but would like something that has missed call/received SMS/email notifications.
Anyone got any good suggestions?
Thanks.
widgetlocker is the one you are searching for.
there arent many others or better ones...
Thanks. I have noticed that one. Is there a free version though?
no. i havnt found a free version yet...
The only free app i can think of is lockbot free

Not sure if it has notifications for sms, email, missed calls etc.
but its free so worth trying at least

Can anyone recommend an app for this? I've heard mixed things about "MissedCall" -- I've searched the market, and can't seem to locate many alternatives. Thanks.
To answer my own question (and if anyone's curious), I installed an app called "Missed Reminder" -- seems to work well. Nice customization settings.
How do we send contacts directly to Voicemail from the stock contacts app? I can't find the option anywhere.
Looks like ya might have to use a third party app. A call/sms blocker might do the trick.

Why Samsung would remove one of the best Android features is beyond me :-/
I know. Some roms have it, some don't.
Ugh. A huge disappointment for me. This is one of the things I was really looking forward to about switching to android.
Any idea what sort of third party app could do this?
Google Voice can do this... you have to give the person your google voice number, not your actual number though. Its all setup through voice.google.com
If it were me, I'd look into this program. There are a few out there that seem to do something but some also look confusing. Give this site a look see and if it looks like it might fit the bill, I think it's like 2 bucks.

P.S.
I tried looking at google voice to see if it could do this. I couldn't find it if there is this feature. Navigating through gv's help is like looking for a needle in a hay stack.
I wish I knew how to develop worth anything so I could put this into reality:
I'd love a widget that streamed updates (like a ticker maybe?) from all kinds of sources on your phone. It could grab unread emails, facebook updates, news posts, weather, etc. Just generally all updated content from your phone. Sort of like a 'What's Going On in Your Phone' ticker.
Is this possible? Would anyone be willing to create this? I would buy much beer for he who could.
you mean the notification bar

It's a good question/idea. I'll see if there's a way of grabbing the notifications to put them in a widget.
C'mon seriously why would you need an extra widget for that? DRY principle anyone?
I would buy this thing the day it comes out, if ever! Amazing idea, would make the phone more useful and also provide a good look to it!

There could be various reasons to have such an app, mate! It might not be useful to you but maybe to others. If you don't like it, then you can always uninstall it, if ever you install! I, personally, would want such an app.
HTC Sense has a widget called friendstream which does this sort of thing, email, facebook and twitter etc.
There is a Friends widget at Launcher Pro Plus (Paid 2.99. I am too happy with it that I donate 5)
Twitter, Facebook Buzz etc are supported, not sure about emails though. I use seperate widgets for each one.
Well, if I catched it up right, you're looking for a phone like the Samsung Galaxy S Continuum with it's extra ticker display?

Hi guys, I know some launchers have the ability to sort apps/games into groups like ADW Launcher EX.
I was just wondering if there is a launcher/app that will pop up upon installation of a new app/game and ask what group you want to place it in?
I really like ADW but its just a ball-ache trying to keep track of things I install and make sure I haven't forgot to sort something, it would be cool if something asked after installation.
Has anybody come across a launcher/app that can do this?
[EDIT] This so probably best to go into questions/general thread. Can a mod move please.
Try "Smart Shortcuts" om Marked.
I think folder organiser pops up in notifications when a new app is installed.

Thanks guys but found exactly what I was looking for.. "Auto App Organizer"
Its awesome, been looking for a app like this since first getting Android. It will automatically scan all your installed apps and categorize them and will also watch for new installed. You can then create shortcuts to the categories on home and they will act like folders.
The app is free but I paid for the full version (no banner). tbh the banner wasnt really annoying or anything, I simply wanted to show appreciation.
I would REALLY recommend this app to anybody.
Thanks man. I have played with folder organising apps and the such before, but I just never bothered putting new apps into relevant places and so it just became a bit pointless.
This sounds much more suited to me! I shall have play.
Cheers
Edit: Lol - looks like the dev and me have a source in common

Hey is there a widget that incorporates all my social media like blinkfeed does. Id like to be able to swipe left on my home screen and it all appears like the way it does on the HTC one.
Im aware of flipboard and launchers like flow home but I am looking to incorporate it with my setup I have with APEX launcher.
Many Thanks for any help.
