(app request/skin request) motivational screen

I have a kaiser and what I'm wanting is just a simple screen that will popup every time the backlight is turned on. I want to be able to edit the message that pops up so that I can put a motivational message. Right now the way I have it set up is so that the notes in my owner info pops up when I turn it on... and that works really well but it's not that pleasing to the eye. If it's possible could someone make a skin for that screen if it's easier than making an app. I'd do it myself but I'm mentally challenged in those areas.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks ahead of time. I hope this isn't posted in the wrong area.

just to add more flexibility, what about an app able to display images at set events? like before or aftert a notification pops out... before or after an application is executed... this way you could set it to display a custon image (maybe a gif animation) ater s2u2 is closed...

g-alarm.
In settings, you can set you own picture as a background.
I am set my point(target) foto as background, and every morning i "SEE" motivation and wake up.
Alsow you can use "Alarm notice" from Pocket Informant. You can wrate somesing, and set Time.
sory for my English ....

Missed call notification

The notification box comes up, but only for a while. After that there is only the single line on Home screen.
Is there a fix to keep it until manually dismissed?

You mean the "Miss call notification" icon at the top bar? It stays there until you open up call history, and see the missed call.

No, azahidi, I did not mean that.
When I miss a call, I get "1 missed call" text on the Home screen in the line above the Calendar. The green LED also flashes. That stays on until I do something.
About 3 seconds later, a large white notification box appears at the bottom. That only stays for several seconds and disappears. I would like it to stay until I dismiss it.
For older people, using the phone without reading glasses, the larger the notification the better. With my distance glasses on, it is not that easy to see the icons. Specially outdoors.
Anyway, this is not very important, but if it was possible to do, I would do it.

Sorry Joe, I musunderstood you. Now I understand what you wish. I am not sure if that's possible at all. I customised the "Missed Call" icon at top bar to be in bright red round background.. a bit better than white.

I suppose I will have to get used to the flashing LED.
Can it be made to flash faster?

Help me reduce the button presses to check messages

currently when i get an sms i have to:
-press a hard key
-unlock the slider
-press the message tab
-then when i get to messages it isn't set to the latest message it is set to the last message checkeds
-then i have to scroll to message 1
coming from android that is a lot of button presses. in android you could actually read the first couple of lines from the lockscreen. is there a way for me to reduce the button presses?

Install S2U2.

S2U2 will be able to display the message on the screen (while the phone remains locked).
Do you have win6.5 lock enabled? when you get a message it should have a message slider and if you slide that it will automatically take you to the sms tab (or email tab if you got an email or missed call tab if you got a missed call or.....)

Set titanium as home screen then after unlock hit text.

Or you could:
-press a hard key
-tap the slider
-unlock the new slider which pops up
should take you directly to your new message.

this takes me to the messages tab, but it does not take me to the latest message. it takes me to the last message i checked when i was in that tab so i still have to scroll once.
i will check out that s2u2 and report back.

ok so i downloaded s2u2 and love the functionality of it. i hate the fact that it looks like iphone though i wish it were more original looking. or even the same but a different colorway, especially in the message bubble that pops up. but hey, it was free and works great so thanks for suggesting it.
much better than the stock lock screen for sure!

There is a disturbing amount of themes for S2U2, if you don't like the stock one (which does mimic the iphone alot) you should look at the other ones.

How do I enable this, I've seen the message slider in other peoples screenies, but I'm not sure how to enable it.
Many thanks

install the hd mini unlock screen, shows most of the message when you wake up the phone with out having to slide to unlock

You just click the slider instead of sliding it. It obviously only works if there's something to show you.

Yeah but at the moment, message or missed call, these icons on the lock screen don't show.

bump, thanks for any pointers

So I understand, after a missed call, email sms etc. do you see a number on the unlock slider? If so, and you tap the unlock slider, you should see one or more notification sliders pop down. Are those not appearing? If that's the case, have you ever installed anything intended to modify the lockscreen in any way?

Yes I have (See screenie), but even before this change I've not had the other icons come up. I've always wondered how I could get them to show up since having the phone.
I'm on Orange network (UK) and on official 1.66 rom.
Thanks for your help.

LOL, it has a little number "1" on your slider, lol
just tap that a$$

Still nothing, that screenie was taken after tapping
It's not important, it would just be nice.

well it is displaying right. normally you would just touch the slider instead of sliding it and a secondary slider would appear, but if that is not happening for you i don't know where in the settings to enable/disable it.

I can't imagine why it's not working. I've attached a cab with the original lockscreen files. You may try installing it and see if that works. Outside of that, you may have a reg setting inadvertantly changed somewhere.
@methodz: Are you still using S2U2? If not, or you go back to the oem LS, I think we can take your original question one step further (literally). Not sure if you've seen this, but you can change the commmand of the notification slider to go directly to your email inbox instead of the manila tab, or have the sllider actually call your voicemail directly instead of taking you to the dialpad. I dunno about sms as I haven't tried it, but either way it may worth looking at the bottom of this post here by Da_G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4268138&postcount=3. It will require a tad of registry editing, but for me it's worth it. Less steps to get to things.

Stop full screen notification on Moto?

I'm sure this is a simple fix, but it has confounded me, so I turn to you for some help. How do I get the Moto on the latest version of AW to vibrate like normal, but rather than display the full screen notification, just the smaller card across the bottom? There are times on the 46,, Moto I don't want the message displayed without me swiping up to display it. I've looked all over and I can't find that setting.
I can see the whole "hide cards" and what not, but when I get a new notification, it fills up the entire screen.
Thanks in advance!

Same problem here. When I receive whatsapps sometimes I can see the full screen notification message and most of times I see a small notification at the bottom and I need to swipe up to see it. Samsung Gear S with newest Android Wear version and Note 3. Any help with this?

Any ideas? I can't believe there's no way to control this, or no one else sees it as a problem? With the 46mm watch it's a BIG screen, making the entire message visible to anyone within eyeshot

Lock Screen Message not shown after reboot, before unlocking?!

Hi folks,
One of the first things I set up on my 6T was the lock screen message, such that if someone found my phone, they could call a number or email me to help return it. I'm an optimist, eh?
But I just noticed the message doesn't show after a reboot, before the first unlocking of the device following the reboot.
Is there some way to force it to show the message? It's silly if someone finds it but it has powered off meanwhile, that the contact info won't show.
Any thoughts appreciated!

Before unlocking the data is encrypted and therefore inaccessible.
I don't think you can make that work as you want to.

Rather than fussing intensely on this, I could always put my info on a slip of paper taped to the back of the phone, covered by the Karbon case, easily found on inspection by a phone-finder...

If you're handy with photo editing software, you can add the text that you want to display onto an image and set that as you lock screen wallpaper. It'll be behind the shade of the lock screen so not necessarily as clear as the other text, but would still be visible. And you would want to place the text so that it won't be covered by the clock on the regular lock screen.

Unless if you're living in japan, then i think the chances of someone returning it would be 0

thanks for this. I've actually done this on my son's iPhone years ago when they didn't have a lock screen message function that I could find. So it's a good idea to see again. I will look into it and figure out something!
