I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good app or mod which imitates the Touchwiz lockscreen notifications for text messages and email.
I seem to remember it being a large red envelope on Touchwiz.
Thanks for your help in advance.
First - which Lockscreen do you use/request for?
If you want TW-Lockscreen Notifications, use TouchWiz-Lockscreen
---------------------------------
Use something like WidgetLocker or GoLocker...
i think he means aosp/aokp lockscreen

Hey, just resently recieved my new Samsung Galaxy S. Running stock UI, 2.1, Unrooted ect.
I don't really understand the benefits of rooting my phone so i'm not going to bother with that..
Just wondering if anyone has an tips for customizing my phone a bit more?
I've heard about this ADWlauncher.. So I installed it and a ADW Sense theme, but my phone hasn't changed/I dont know how to activate the theme..
+ Can anyone help me with these annoying things aswell..
1. Recieve push Facebook notifications under the notifications bar at the top?
Bloo doesn't work for me and Offical Facebook doesn't support this.
2. SMS notifications, can you remove notification when you view the message? Because at the moment, you have to press back to go to the Message Inbox then press back again to remove the notification and return to what you were doing..
3. The black background on Applications Screen, the background on SMS convosations, can you change this to a wallpaper somehow? It's annoying when it's black..
4. Can you change the dock somehow to a nicer looking one? HTC Hero has a nice dock
Thanks for everyone who posts your genius reponces, helping a newbie out
ADW Sense theme is a theme for ADW Launcher, so you must have ADW launcher installed. ADW replaces the default touchwhiz homescreen/launcher. The other option is launcher pro. Both allow you to customise the dock.

reminder
if you want to keep using KIES you will need to switch back the phone default TwLauncher
get the utility called Home Switcher

Is there any way to get the missed call/SMS count in the default touchwiz launcher icons? I personally really like the TW interface, but I think that having SMS/call count would make it alot easier for notifications personally.
So does anyone have any idea how to accomplish this, or if it is even possible?

On of the most frequent things I is turn on my phone, unlock it, view a text and then dismiss the notification. Is there a way to make this process shorter? I want to be able to view my text on the start screen and if i choose to, dismiss it? I still want a lock screen, but i want to be able to view and dismiss my notifications from there as well. I have heard of a few apps where you can see the text on the lock screen, but none do it well or show the text with/on the lock screen. I have cyanogen mod and use lockscreen gestures to go immediately to text, but wish i could just swipe the notification away with on less step. If its not possible, this is a feature i feel would be a great addition to cyanogenmod.
I'd like to know about any solutions as well.
I'm thinking something akin to Lock Screen Info on iPhone, or the new iOS5 lockscreen.
I'm currently using WidgetLocker.

if you're using widget locker you could use Simple SMS widget and put that on your homescreen.
otherwise... maybe try miui?
I really like stock android.
Is there anything that can handle most, if not all notifications?
Not sure if I understand what exactly you want. If you use widget locker, leave the notification bar active so you can pull down and clear all notifications that way.
If you actually want to read the text just get a messaging widget such as colorize widgets or Simple SMS Widget, or Messaging Widgets and throw it on widget locker.
So I'm still getting used to this phone but something I'm having a hard time figuring out is configuring notifications. So I'd anyone wants to give me some pointers I'd really appreciate it.
1.) How do I display notifications on my lock screen so I see that I have 3 messages from my wife, a message from my friend, and 2 Facebook notifications etc...?
2.) How do I get notification badges on the app icons so I can at least see I have 3 unread messages etc...?
What's the best way to get close to this? Any ideas?

A widget, perhaps? I just did a quick search on Google Play and found this. I'm sure there are a lot more options.

For 1), do you mean you want the notifications readily available as soon as you get to the lock screen? If you don't mind doing a few actions, you could pull down the notification shade in your lock screen to show your notifications. Touching a notification and then pulling down again will give you more previews of the notification. You could also add some lock screen widgets for email and SMS so you can preview your messages from the lock screen.
If you want it instantly available, I'm not sure if there is any way to do it on the default lock screen. You might want to check out third party ones like Widget Locker.
For unread count badges on your icons, you could use Nova Launcher with the Tesla Unread plugin. If you don't want to install a different launcher I think there are some standalone widgets that can do it but I don't think they are as good as using Nova Launcher.

So, I am currently root Stock on my device. I like Touchwiz, but would prefer the ability to theme with a launcher, such as Nova. As stupid as it sounds, what has kept me from it is the visual notifications TW offeres with Email/TXT/Calls..etc on the icons themselves. What I mean is that, if I were to receive a txt, there would be a "1" in a bubble over my messaging icon. Same with email, missed calls..etc I work in a louder area so I do somewhat rely on it.
When I enable Nova, this does not happen. Anyone know a fix or if there is a setting in Nova?
Thanks Again!
