LOL me too! Nice screen .
Hey , there is a guy on XDA you mightbe able to help. Bill56 is his name I think. He French and we are having a hard time helping him understand how to do the minimal text battery bar .
I keep seeing SMS, Phone and Gmail widgets on lockscreens that show unread count. I need some help because I can't get my head around a few issues I am having:
1) Gmail unread - I cannot find anything that works! SMS Unread will not let me set-up on my phone; crashes everytime I try to set-up for my Gmail acct.
2) what can I use to change the icons to what I want as far as appearance? I am using Go Launcher so it would have to go with that launcher
3) what does the wifi widget do I see on a few lockscreens?

2: An image you want to go into the sms unreadcount widget should be saved as a png in /sdcard/data/com.kanokgems.smswidget/. You can then pick your image when you create the widget as normal No dice on Gmail unless you can keep uninstalling gmail updates - no app effectively counts gmail anymore - and I personally gave up on it.
Wifi toggles I used in the past were Widgetsoid, wonderful app that allows for vertical settings bars and custom icons - free on the market
So unless I use an email account other than gmail there is no possible way to have an unread count.....? That seriously blows!
The first strike I have against android.
If you have further questions, just ask
And rewinding by hand also saved on battery life as well...kinda funny how that's a worry we still have today...Ha I'm 34 and I totally remember the using the bic pen to rewind, esp when the walk-man (yes I said walk-man) rewind was slow like molasses
well done!

Not true. Just do some searching and you can usually find what you need...

Both of these are not counting gmail for me...might be MIUI, but ADW failed on the first major gmail update a couple months back when I was still stock, would love to hear otherwise if someone's using it now. Elixir's permissions are wicked intense for counts, above and beyond same abilities for SMS unread and ADW.
I made those suggestions thinking he was looking for an unread count for email accounts other than Gmail (inappropriate, k9).
I thought I found one unread app that claimed it fixed the Gmail force-close problem. But I haven't updated my Gmail app in months just to have a working count widget. It's a pain that Google dropped the ball on their main app.
Sorry about the confusion.
No worries Paul, shoulda guessed you were targeting the K9 solution. Glad someone didn't update - carrier forced it down and can't seem to find the easy way to undo it - such a major pain, glad you don't have it
