Coming from an iphone for the last few years, one thing I have gotten used to are notifications that show up on the screen, even on the lock screen. Is there a way to do this on Android? I only get notifications at the top and then have to unlock the phone and scroll down to see them. This also goes for texts as well.

New to Android moving from the iProduct line of goods. What I can add to the locked home screen to display: Missed call, Text received, Email received. I think I need to add a widget or do I add an app which automatically adds any widget available on the widget menu?
Is there one current good app or widget that will do all the above.
How do yo show things like battery life, weather, etc on the locked screen? I have seen people with screens set up like this, but I'm not sure what they have done.

Little progress update....
Got the animated circle working with a switch for ripple on/off,weather and live wallpaper lockscreen support.
I just cannot get the ripple interaction when screen locked. When the movement to unlock is made the ripple appears.
Logcat shows the ripple renderer runs when screen is locked and touched but whilst locked the screen does not display the interaction.....
https:[url]......
I think its possibly phonewindowmanager or keyguardmediator which is stopping the screen displaying interaction until the movement to unlock is made. Any process that links what is shown on screen and interaction when locked (for lockscreen music widgets for example which allow interaction when locked)
I never rooted my phone before and thought i would give it a try(SuperOneClick) and it went fine. Then I decided to use Clockwork to install a mod (cyanogen) and cleared everything i needed to, but after it reset it locked on the logo, the LG with a blue swipe behind it, and thats all i get. I tried putting it into APX mode, but my volume buttons wont respond.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wanted to know if there is any way to turn off the screen without the phone being locked or put to sleep.
This would be useful when controlling my phone from my PC via Teamviewer (I already see the phone screen in my PC, so having the other one ON is pointless) or when wanting to listen to some music coming from a video.
I am trying to show a activity or a dialog when the phone is locked.
I have tried using a WakeLock but it did not work and I can only see the activity once my phone is unlocked?
What is the proper way to do this?
I have the screen locked. I get a call and I can still answer it and see the number and contact without unlocking the screen. This might be the same for texts, not sure yet.
I did some Googling and there seems to be a setting that can change how much the screen lock blocks. I think I checked everywhere in the phone but don't see this option. It's a ZTE AWE phone with jelly bean.
There's aparently simple ways to bypass screen lock if a phone's lost, but I still want it fully locked.
I am trying to create a broadcast receiver to detect when the screen was locked. I have it already working to detect when the the tablet was booted, but it won't work for the SCREEN_OFF action. Right now I just have it log any intents that where triggered and so far its only working for when the boot was completed.
Code:
package com.atlantis;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;

I'm trying to access my tablet Odys Xpress to change the ROM. The problem, after reading several posts on how to do, is that windows 7 does not recognize the driver. Surely it's because I have not activated the tablet's USB debuggin. But change can not access because it has a screen lock pattern type I do not know.how I can remove the pattern lock screen?

Android Version: 4.2.2
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- plug in headset
- lock screen
- press headset button for several seconds
What happened:
- No reaction, Google Now / Voice Actions not launched
- Manually unlock screen
- Long press with unlocked screen correctly launches Voice Search
What you think the correct behaviour should be:
Long press of headset button should launch Google Now / Voice Actions even with locked screen. Having to dig the phone out of your pocket in order to launch Voice Actions with a headset e.g. to place a call kinda defeats the purpose of using Voice Actions in the first place.
Adding insult to injury: long press is not broadcast to other applications because of Google Now, so it can't even be put to good use e.g. as volume control.

Can't find way to stop my messages showing in the notification bar while the phone is locked.
Its weird. It only happens sometimes. Is it a bug or a setting?
Seems silly that anyone could read your messages even if the phone is locked.
I have a HTC Desire, and it's pretty much amazing and all. One of the things that bugs me tho, (coming from the iPhone which had that ability) is that the Facebook app, don't show any notifications, and that is something I'd really want. I've tried searching the forum, but couldn't find anything use full. cam out really be true that I can't get any app's which can show me notifications from face book?

This applies to other apps as well.

I have a samsung device which doesn't have an LED light. I've been using the app Glance, but it doesn't, no matter what, turn on the screen for email, google voice, facebook and sms.
It does work for whats app, which is great, but that's it.
Any app that would work in all these cases... turning on the display when this occurs? I don't know if it's because I'm using screen lock that this is occurring?
is there any app that replicates iOS5 notifications in lock screen?
I don't want an iOS5 look. I want a JB look but with notifications similar to iOS5 on the lock screen

1) How can I make my phone not turning on the screen when it is locked and i get an sms (via the built it messages app), but light the led light with a custom color (and of course, play a tone). I've tried "LightFlow" but it didn't work, the screen has still gone on when I got an sms.Mention that with 3rd party apps (e.g. whatsapp and wunderlist) the thing works great, the screen is black, the led is on, and the air molecules near the speaker start oscillating harmonically.
2) I know that even without any sdk manipulation, my phone still lets me move some downloaded apps to the sd. I had downloaded a 1.5 GB game and kept in mind that I use 3.5 GB of my internal storage. Luckily enough, this game is movable. I moved it to the sd card, and after the process had been done, I checked how much storage I use on my internal storage - 3.5 GB.The button changed to "Move to device storage" but it seemed that the game had not transfered at all.Mention that I tried the "adb shell pm setinstalllocation 2" thing, and it didn't fix it, so I reversed the process with the "adb shell pm setinstalllocation 0" command.
I've been using Android devices for couple of years. I have tried several lock screen widgets but none did provide what I want. I want exactly the same actions of iOS lock screen notifications, i.e. when I receive an e-mail I'd like to see it on the screen and if I touch/slide it, I'd like it to be unlocked into the Gmail app or if it's a Whatsapp message, I'd like to see the Whatsapp message screen instead of the home and afterwards launching Whatsapp and going into the selected message.
