Lockscreen Notification - SOLUTION

[Jan Plessow]

Hey Aaron,

thanks for sharing your set up - I have only one question:

What app did you use to get the upper part like it is?

Regards,

Jan

"Productivity" is a misnomer here. It's incredibly limited in what it will actually display.

I solved this problem by getting Executive Assistant+. It does almost exactly what Lockinfo did on my jailbroked iPhone, but it's slightly easier to configure. With this app in place I finally have a functional lock screen and can cross off another item that my old phone had that my One doesn't. It was the last major item on that list.

I would love to see a features list between iPhone and the One. Both sides of it. I value your opinion. maybe start a new thread. Thanks in advance if you do it.

edit: HA nevermind. i see you already did lol

Hey how did you hide the drop down notifications bar on the lockscreen? I read somewhere that if you have a password to unlock that it hides it, but I still have the drop down on the lock screen

This. Is. Brilliant. One of my major issues with Android is the lack of 'proper' lock screen notifications. Solved by the best thing about Android. It can do pretty much anything!

Thanks OP

Can you show us the setup? I downloaded all 3 apps but don't know how to get notifications like yours on lock screen.... "no notification at all"

Seems you need to have Android 4.2 if you want to use NiLS Notifications Lock Screen. I'm still stuck on AT&T 4.1.2.

Need to install widget locker to make NiLS work on the lock screen.

Does Widget locker still have th bug where you press the home button it will by pass your pin and just unlock the device?

Hey, how did you get your name on the side of the phone?

1. How did you put the clock in the top right hand corner? It lets you move it but I don't see a way to seperate it from the notifications.
2. How did you display battery percentage?
3. What weather widget is that?

I believe the answer to all 3 of your questions is the Minimalist Text app. The notifications bar can be hidden with a 3rd party launcher app such as Nova Launcher.

What is the weather widget your using?

 

[Gunrack]

Try these two apps to get pop-up notifications on the lock screen.

Notify Pro and the add-in Notify Plus

You can customize which apps pop-up. The plus add-in opens it up to all apps not just the basic ones.

Works pretty well.

I had a few teething problems too... You need to edit widget locker, (tool mode) then long press on the screen, add widget, select nils widget and your good to go...

I increased the size of the widget to try and see more message etc.

This setup is good but I have 1 issue...

I would like to control what gets pulled into the nils widget.. At the minute everything gets shown on the lockscreen and it quickly fills up.

I had 4 weather updates from Google now today.. All stacked in a row. I would rather turn things like that off...


Anyone know how.? I just want emails and texts showing there..

Hey Bill....agree!! I was enjoying that app notification, but it got really annoying, if I was in a text and shut the phone off, it would say swiftkey enabled, but first it was wifi available, etc...I dumped it for now until someone can provide another notification center app or tell me the way they set it up with out google now always updating the weather too!
I still want that weather widget the OP had on his!!! NICE!! I can't find any nice weather widgets!! very annoying!

 

[cgardnervt]

Can anyone chime in about he home button with a pin? Does it still by pass the pin number when unlocking the phone?

The NIL widget can be customized to show selected notifications. When a notification shows up on the widget touch the notification icon. A menu shows up, click the "wrench" for settings. A lot can be customized there. You can exclude it all together or just show the last notice. I'm still playing with it so I'm still learning everything it can do.

Liking it so far!

I'm using it and I still have to use my pin to get to the home screen once it times out. I guess they have fixed that bug.

Thank you very much Gunrack! Time to go buy the app!

Oops! Maybe not so fast!! I've been away from my phone for well past the timeout for the passcode to engage and I get right in to the home screen when I unlock. So, it has prompted me for my passcode before, I just don't think it does consistently. I'm not sure what the steps are that will replicate the need to enter the passcode but I'm sure it is allowing me to bypass it more times than not.

I have this same issue, it doesn't always prompt me to enter the password, even after the specified 3 minutes have elapsed. It's quite annoying.

With respect to getting multiple notifications for, say, Google Play updates, just hit the wrench as someone says, and you have "App Specific Settings" where you can specify that when there are multiple notifications, just display the last one.

I use a mix of these; for texts I show all, for WhatsApp I show the last one, etc.
