ok, I have installed and set Handcent as my default SMS app. The problem I am having is that you can only put apps in the bottom taskbar/tray...but the app doesn't show the unread count, only the widget does...but I can't put the widget in the taskbar/tray.
does anyone know how to;
1-get the Handcent app icon to show unread count, or
2-put a widget in the bottom taskbar/tray?

I'm not sure, but may not be possible on the Touchwiz launcher.

handcent??
short answer: no.
hand cent and other messaging apps just read the messages out of the stock app.
if you remove it then you won't get any messages. but nandroid and try it, don't take my word for it
You can turn off all notifications in the stock app and use handcent. It will show up in your app drawer but other than that it's like it's not there.
im getting 2 notifications on my device. i desable the notification on the stock app but still shows up.

in the stock app make sure in menu/settings you uncheck auto retrieve as well as received notification.

If you have everything turned off in the stock app then yea, it's beautiful widgets giving you that notification.
Hey guys,
Apologies if this isn't the right spot for this thread, please let me know if that's the case.
I've done some googling and found people who were able to set the messages icon shortcut so that it launched handcent. But it seems that those were all on the Nexus One. Has anyone done this on the EVO? How?
Thanks so much! I don't really care for the Handcent icon.
so you want to use the standard messaging icon but launch handcent with it? Just trying to clear up the issue.
Im using fresh rom and i have launcher, i used their icon for handcent in the launcher bar. Prob doesnt help you though.
Better Cut
Thanks. I tried that but it kept fc'ing. Tried any cut and I'm halfway there. Changed the name but not the icon.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but with LauncherPro you can customize the five shortcuts (phone, contacts, apps, messaging and web) on the bottom toolbar. You can simply hold down the messaging shortcut and link it to handcent while keeping the appearance of the icon itself unchanged.
ok I have LauncherPro but when I do a long press on the messaging shortcut it does not have handcent as an option. Thoughts?
Actually, I found some inconsistencies with BetterCut. You should try FolderOrganizer instead.

At first I didn't think FolderOrganizer was going to do what I wanted, but I figured it out. However I had to use one of FolderOrganizer's icons for the messages, I couldn't find how to make the default icon work?
Thanks for the recommendation guys!

Hi,
I was looking for an option to have calendar events on my lockscreen without using a custom app. Can't find any solution though.
Anyone having events on his lockscreen?
Thanks in advance,
Ben

Thanks, but then I can't figure out how to have it as "first" lockscreen. Even when I add it as widget to my lockscreen, I get this time/weather widget as a first screen.

Anyways, thank you a lot!
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...

It's a premium app, but well worth it (for me).

I believe it's tesla unread
Hello 2nd question I'm afraid. How do you get notifications to show in the app icons? I get the notification when I swipe down from the top of the screen but that's it.
Thanks
Use a launcher with support for that or a standalone app (if there is?)
I use Nova Launcher with TeslaUnread.

Thank you. Is it either or do I use Both?

You need Nova Launcher and tesla unread. It's a plug in.
Brilliant. Cheers
