Hi all
So I'm new to Android and am wondering where the lock screen notifications are located and how are they enabled?

lock screen notifications? they come up in a red circle on the lock screen to show you missed calls/messages
I'm running cm9
No lock screen notis. Get hand cent from the market. It'll turn the screen on with a pop up of the new text.

having moved from the walled in garden called the iphone, i expected that this functionally would be available by default on android (ICS).
can't believe it's not !
and dont forget you are running a version that is aleaked and not official, official releases might have it included it might not
Also, most Android phones have notification lights that flash different colours for different types of notification.
Samsung decided not to implement this... But there's a great app on Google Play, called NoLed, that can display notifications on the screen. Doesn't use much battery if you set it up right either - rarely even registers on the batt stats!
If you are from the iPhone then something else to warn you about is that any text messages > 3 messages long will be converted to MMS.
Handcent is a good alternative texting app that allows you to control whether or not this happens (there's no option in Android's default messaging app.)
Caught me out and cost me for the MMS messages too since they aren't included in my contract.
CM9 Roms are still in development
I'd recommend you go here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/ and make a new post asking for this to be included in a future release.
CyanogenMod is strong because it users suggestions are taken on-board if they get enough support from the rest of the community. make the post, put it here and I'll post in support.
and DONATE. even if its £1/$1.6 they will only get better if you give your support.
NoLed is a brilliant tool for screen notifications, with possibility to monitor not only standard things like SMS and mail, you can also monitor apps, like Wordfeud or anything else

Tried noled, I'm going to refrain from commenting on the grounds that it might incriminate me
Has anyone noticed that when you tap a new message notification on the lock screen a clear white box pops up below? Isn't it supposed to open the messaging app when you tap on it? This happens even when my unlock Pin has not been triggered yet. I would post a screen shot but it goes away when I try to.

I guess the requirement for the swipe in the bottom prevents from accidentally unlocking you phone when its in your pocket.
My question is, how do I add more applications to that lock screen thing? I would like to use other apps, other than just text and missed calls.

That stuff is all in settings>my device>lockscreen. Add shortcuts, widgets, change the banner text or change the banner to clock....
Here's a question: on my s3 when I would get a text it would tell me who it was from on the lockscreen and the first few lines of the text would scroll by in my status bar, I'm wondering if anybody knows of a mod to give me this feature on the s4? Or if there's a mod for a popup message/quick reply with the stock messenger?

If you go into settings in the messaging app there is an option to turn on Preview.

There is no swipe at the bottom just a blank clear box that pops up when I tap on the message. I'm thinking maybe if I add some favorite apps to the lock screen thats where they would show up and since I havent set any its just blank. I will try this out.

If you are using the swipe to unlock feature. The default unlock with the phone, that clear box is the widget that reads the swipe.

All the Galaxy S series and NOTE series phones has that feature built-in. (no settings you can change)
Just swipe your finger down anywhere below the center of the screen and it will work great.
It's possible that you are using a launcher which has an option to change the
default swype down to some other action and that's why its not working for you.
Give it a try, good luck!

Try nova launcher. This allows you to setup gestures such as swiping down anywhere for the notification bar. However, this feature is only available on the home screens so im afraid it won't help if you're in an application

Hi.
The swip down below the center doesnt work and i like the original launcher. There is some other way to setting it?
Other app which not change the original launcher?
I noticed that the camera shortcut is not present in the lock screen (I still have to swype left, like regular 4.3)
For some strange reason, when you go to the Settings -> System Info and tap Android 4.4, I don't see the big K that rotates, it's just gray, and if I tap I eventually get the Red Android Splash screen.
And of course, no HDR+ nor that battery saving audio mode Nexus 5 has. (possibly hardware limitations?) Still, not a major complain since Google DOES state those are Nexus 5 exclusive features, but would've been nice to share across the GPE line (after all, wasn't that the point of a GPE Device? Enjoy Nexus features on other OEMs?? and correct me if I'm wrong)
I DO like to see Smart Dialer was included, as well as other features such as Tap and Pay, a revamped GPS setting, and with GEL, phone feels entirely new. Loving that music widget in the lock screen. It's beautiful.
Overall I'm liking Kit Kat so far, it does feel lighter, and battery has shown some improvement. Sadly I won't enable ART since it screwed up Whatsapp and I had to do a factory reset.
Have a Kit Kat!
So far its very smooth. Which music widget are you speaking of specifically?

That is only for devices with soft keys.
I'm not sure if it is just me but the status bar on the lockscreen is not transparent, it was on the pure AOSP builds.

For those of us who use Textra as our SMS app, please go into the settings menu> support> contact us and request that they make an edge panel with the same functionality as the floating notification. I have requested this feature and they are open to it but are unsure if there are enough Edge owners using Textra. It would be the only SMS app to show the actual text as opposed to just the notification icon.
+1
Added request.
Done
Not a textra user but looked them up on Google play and requested the feature too. Told if was addedi would their app.
Done sent them a request, they even replied back to asking me for a screen shot showing where exactly I would like the preview to come. So sent them the screen shot and they have acknowledged with "Thanks" ... now lets wait and watch
Not trying to troll but both the stock and go show the notification on the side
In fact i don't get any verbage at the top anymore. Every program has transferred to the side

I jump between textra and evolvesms. Last week textra had an overlay on top of the main screen. I immediately uninstalled it because thats what the edge is for. If they are open to suggestions I will request that feature as well now that I know.

I like having a "dark" or "black" skin for messaging. Stock can't do that to my knowledge.
I tried GoSMS back on my note 2 but seemed like a lot of bloat. Textra was simple, straight to the point, and customized just enough for my liking.
Maybe I'll give GoSMS a try again?
Just submitted a request for this as well. :good:
Agreed and done.
Guys
I think our request has been done, there was a update to Textra yesterday on my phone, updated through playstore and now i can see the message text on my Edge screen when a new message comes

You can see it for just a second and that's it? right? same as GoSMS? no function inside the edge screen or anything unique?

I see the complete message when it comes if its big message the text moves line after line and if I click on it that takes me to the message in textra.
Yes the message text does not stay on the screen for a long time but its comes as soon as a message is received and shows the text line after line and then goes ...
I had also requested Textra team to add unread notification count on their icon to show up which I think would be kool to see on the edge screen

Got it... out of thanks for the day... but thank you for replying... So, basically the same as GoSMS... If they ever do the unread notification icon to show on the Edge Screen, that will definitely make me move to Textra... I was looking at the sceenshots from Textra from Google Play... and it looks almost identical to GoSMS... lol... (the developers are copying each other, lol)
My Bad guys ..
I have tested the textra messaging app now on Nova Launcher & on Toch Wiz .
On both the message preview is still coming as a floating window on the main screen and not on the edge screen at all ...
But the unread notification count is now showing up correctly on the edge dock on textra icon

I made good on my promise to switch once they abopted edge notifications. I also read you have to turn off the floating notification. I didnt have to for mine to work but I did anyways. Works great, just wish there was a call button like on the stock application on the same screen. Its there but a couple clicks away.

Mine wouldn't work without turning off floating notifications.
Does it work if the phone is locked for you guys? Only my express me panel lights up. No message preview.

Yeah mine does. But it shows as soon as it comes in and only gives you like 5 seconds, if that. But that's the same as the stock app. I'm under the impression the factory settings are the main road block to getting the edge panel to behave the way we want. Maybe the guys who have rooted could let us know if this is the case. I gotta play straight on this phone so i won't be rooting anytime soon. I'm hoping maybe a modified nova launcher might get released for the edge. I've used nova on all my Galaxy's and am sure they could get this edge panel sorted out.
