certain launchers will have them. mostly paid versions. their are apps like notifier apps that put the badges their or a pop up notification like the iphone pop ups. them also look like the iphone app icons, maybe golauncher has the badges and a theme for the icons
and i think their called notification badges.

I know Nova Launcher Prime has that feature with the TeslaUnread app.

Can't you just do a little bit of thinking/reading for yourself? It even has the process in the app description!
Anyway, buy Nova Launcher Prime or WidgetLocker (it won't work without one of these) then install Tesla unread. After that, enable TeslaUnread in Nova Launcher or WidgetLocker Settings > Unread Counts.

Themes and Color schemes

So I'm new to the stock look of this Galaxy, I ran HD ROM on my S4. I like the way the colors looked with the custom ROM. Is installing a theme a way to change the over all look and colors of the screens/menus? I know that launchers do a little with this but I like the stock launcher for now. Sorry I'm semi new to this but any help/pics of your device is VERY helpful.
Thanks!!

Idk if it's considered a theme but if you use Power saving mode you can turn on grey scale

I was wondering the same. I think all the colors are hideous. I am returning my One M8 to get the S5 because I like the size but I can't get over how stupid all the menus look on the S5.

Unfortunately, using the stock launcher (which I also always prefer) you're stuck with the hideous S5 menu. It's a cross between windows phone and a bland icon pack from MIUI. I am TRYING to upgrade my G2, but the M8 and S5 are just so bleh.

I AGREE!! And to be honest I wouldn't mind changing to a different launcher but I really don't like that my notifications do not work with any of the main stream launchers. Like when I get a text or new email the icon does not display this.
Does anyone know a launcher where icon notifications works??

Have you checked other post about this?

Are you familiar with nova launcher? If not, look it up in the app store.

I figured the S5 would work differently than other versions out there. I wanted the opinion of S5 users.

Are you asking if it will display the amount of unread messages in the notification bar? If so, the answer is unfortunately a no.

I think we are talking about the same thing, there is a messages Icon, and email icon. When I have tried other launchers on my GS5, when i receive either an email or text, normally they display a number on the actual icon on the desktop. With the custom launcher this did not happen, I can see the notification in the top bar that i have a text or email but the actual icon on the desktop does NOT display. My question was, is this the same as on Nova.
Guess I should just download and try........

You have to add Nova launcher notifier or something like that, I'm running nova and it shows how many missed emails and text messages I have. But its at the bottom of the nova download section

There's also a fantastic app in the Play Store called Missed It, which provides counter values for any app that provides notifications to the notification panel, integration with the unread counts option within Nova, and can provide counts within fully customizable widgets...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.igecelabs.android.MissedIt
It's a premium app, but well worth it (for me).

Notifications badge

Hi
I'm using CM12.1 on SM-N910F.
I just want to show notification badges on differents applications like Facebook, SMS and Gmail.
I read on forums Trebuchet might be the problem and to fix it, I installed Nova Launcher and TeslaUnread but the problem is not fixed !
Do you know how can I fix it ?
Thanks for your work

Make sure you've activated Tesla under Nova and then restart the launcher. Don't use Facebook, but SMS and gmail badges work for me, I'm not on CM though but not sure how that matters.

TeslaUnread is activated on my notification access. I had also checked TeslaUnread configuration and I checked all programs. Finally, I restart my phone and nothing changed.
I don't know where is the mistake !

I meant make sure to activate it here.

Badge Notifications in Oreo

I just updated to Oreo and noticed that now when I dismiss a Notification the badge from that app goes away too...
In the previous version this didn't happen, anyone knows how to avoid the badge from the app disappearing?
Thanks!

You can't stop it from happening unfortunately. Your other option is to install nova launcher and use tesla unread counter app, which is from the same guys.

I was also wondering if there is a workaround for this.
To be honest, this is the most stupid thing I've ever seen in a software update, now if you put the notifications to silent for - let's say- Facebook, you will never get the badges on on the app icon.
In Secure Folder, it is the same, which defeats the purpose of the secure folder (hiding notifications), so when I enter secure folder, now I have to check each app for conversations or messages or any other notifications they might have.
Samsung should provide the option to unlink "clearing notifications from the panel clears the badges", and also silencing and app notification doesn't prevent it from having badges.
Nova launcher, it works, but the tesla is inconsistent.

While this may be an "upgrade" to people with stock android, it's more of a downgrade to people who've already experienced the app badges before Oreo. The main reason I am/was a fan of app badges is so that my notifications can be turned off and I'll see I have notifications based on the app badge. I hope Samsung will at least add the possibility of choosing to show app badges for apps that are put to silent in a future update. Right now they just seem pretty pointless.

I totally agree with you, and t is the same reason why I am a fan of that.
Let's hope that Samsung can add an option to make it just like before.

I just think it's a backwards move and if they're so adamant of it at least give the option to allow unread badges even if notification is swiped away

I really dislike this change and am considering returning my Galaxy S9 because of it. There's a thread over on the Samsung forum about this as well if you want to subscribe to that one to keep track of this issue.
Galaxy-S9-Questions-and-Answers/Notification-badge-icon-not-working-on-Samsung-Galaxy-S9/m-p/288959#M52

I'm glad I found a forum on this issue...
This definitely seems like a step in the wrong direction. I liked that I would get new notifications in the top panel and if I swiped them away, the badge Icon would still show that I had an un-opened message. This was very useful because in situations where I was doing something and I couldn't check the new message right away, I would clear them because I still wanted to see if any other new notifications would come in after, the badge Icon would remind me to check later, if i forgot, when I had time to view or reply to that message.
This feature needs to be added back asap, it should be extremely simple for them to implement and it should be an option anyways for us to link or un-link the notification panel with the app badge icon.
Keep this forum going!

This is simply ridiculous! Gone from an almost perfect touchwiz to nova launcher ... i'm really upset.

For a lot of users Nova Launcher with Tesla Unread also has an issue with unread badges. Particularly with the Gmail app, but also with the native Samsung email app. See the recent reviews for the app on Google Play.
If you contact Tesla Coil (developers of Nova/TeslaUnread) they will send you an updated apk to side load. This didn't resolve the issue for me but YMMV.

But at least they are working on it. But i really liked the touchwiz look. Mainly the folders aspect not reproduced by nova.

While installing the updates they will show the small animation when you swipe the notifications the bagde will get clear.. before installing also in the changelog it is mentioned.
You should read the changelog first...
It is the way oreo notification's are implemented.. nothing samsung has done wrong here..

I had the same issue with not working numeric badges, but thanks to this thread I've found Tesla Unread has been updated yesterday in Google Play so installed and so far so good. Samsung Email and Hangouts badges are being shown properly.

Thanks Mike. TU Ver 5.1.0 still not working for me. Have cleared caches, uninstalled/reinstalled (twice), etc. etc. Still have persistent unread badge stuck on Gmail app, even though I have read/deleted emails.
Turning badges off/back on in TU does clear unread badges temporarily, but problem re-occurs when new emails arrive.

Not sure if it applies to your problem but all the permissions have been set properly?
TU - Settings/Apps/Special Access/Notification Access - Allow
Then confirm permissions within TU settings for selected applications.

Nova launcher tesla unread does not show count badge for Email app

Could be a nova launcher issue but is anyone running Nova launcher with the tesla unread addon? The email app is the only app where the count badge is not working. Anyone else experience similar issues? On my galaxy s9, it works fine. S10 it does not.

It is for me with Pie GS9+ & GS10+. Without it, I don't get notification dots/numbers anymore, which was weird. And, yes, I checked and enabled the settings from the main Novalauncher settings.

You need to enable notification dots (obviously with message count) in the settings (the samsung one), this will enable Nova to do the same thing (with its own theme) without tesla unread
