Lockscreen Notification - SOLUTION

[Mike Lim]

floating notification fits quite into the pix thou, wil nd to disable the talkback func(can be annoying) as the app requires it to run by default.

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

Thanks Gator352. Will look into it. I'll have to look into that home button issue now. Still trying to work my way around Android. Wish I could port the notification screen I had on my Iphone 4. Eventually jailbroke it too and really able to customize each screen to handle SMS, Twitter, FB, etc.

Your setup for your lock screen looks amazing! Do you think you could enlighten us as to what theme's / setup's you used to make the message notification appear that way, as well as the clock / weather?

thanks for the tip.
i know use on my htc one as follows:
no lock screen per default from htc sense.
customized with the nils lockscreen, and tell my mobile to wake up with "screen notification".

works like a charm.

Afternoon. Can you provide some details on exactly how you got yours to look like yours did.

I installed all those apps. I would really like to know how you got your time, weather and notifications to look as you did.

Thanks.

I've pretty much got this setup running..the only thing I can't seem to figure out is how to hide the NiLS clock. If anyone knows how to do that I'd be grateful...

*Edit* I figured it out...

I use an app called Screen Notifications. All I wanted was for the screen to wake when I get a new notification so I don't have to pick up the phone and check it all the time. Works great for me!

This thread was a tremendous help. I was beginning to get frustrated with the lack of flexibility in the standard lockscreen widget customization for the One. But looking into many of the apps mentioned here, I finally have a pretty excellent lock screen notifications setup. So, thanks all! I'd still love to have a lock screen widget like the Business Calendar one for the home screen, that shows google calendar and gtasks entries; but I'll count my blessings and call it a night.

Spoke too soon - got the complete setup I wanted! Thanks again to all the great ideas!

ET1078, which weather and clock widget/s are you using???

I have tried a few notification apps but LockerPro free works best for me.
Screen wakes up on every notification and you can slide left to clear notifications and slide right to open the respective app (e.g. whatsapp, FB, messaging. etc.)
It is very customisable as well, although, a few features such as notification badges are available only in the paid version.

So... like me... lots of Apple converts here recently. I've got just about any feature I missed from the iPhone on my One now. The one thing was those great Lockscreen Notifications. But after some much fiddling and $10 wasted... I think I got a solution. Still waiting to test it out at work but thought I'd post.

Basically... running:
WidgetLocker - https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...d=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker&token=RLgmATk3
NiLS Notifications Lock Screen - https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...am.android.notificationswidget&token=kl8gh-cy
Phantom Music Control - https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...s?id=cz.jhg.musiccontrolwidget&token=Ntj5KTWx

Much fiddling but could get me the results below. Screen comes on when a new alert comes in. Doesn't quite stack like the iPhone but good enough for a visual alert of incoming email.

And yes... that is my dog

Hi, I downloaded those apps, but much fiddling on my part hasn't gotten me anywhere. Could you please share the steps on how to achieve the same result as yours? Thanks in advance!

 

[ast29]

Hi could you pls share the steps on how to achieve the same results? I downloaded the apps too but still cant get the notifications from Nils to pop up on my lockscreen.

Hi Guys,

I've moved from an iPhone to the new Nexus 5 and this was one of the only things I really missed from it; lockscreen notifications!

I use DashClock and it's associated add-ons, works a treat!




Loving the phone (although camera a bit slow) and enjoying Android so far!

Does LockerPro drain the battery more than normal or is it about the same?

I'm glad you asked. LockerPro doesn't drain the battery much but after a few days of use, I noticed that it was using up to 600mb of RAM!

I have since uninstalled it and I'm using Notify Me! which works very well.
