love your app!

First of all, NiLS is FANTASTIC!

One question: I am using quick calendar with NiLS to get persistent calendar notifications on my lock screen. However, only one event is coming up, rather than the 4 that are in my notification bar.

I know that for texting, I've set up NiLS to only keep the most recent notification but this was app specific.

Any advice on how to get all the calendar events that are populating my notification bar to show up?

Thanks,

Joel
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
Really love NiLs,

Did you guys check this app out : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samr.notificationWallpaper

there are some cool things i wish we can implement in here, more customization etc...

Hello everyone and [MENTION=4849129]Roymam[/MENTION] ,

Here in the OP it says;

But however, for me, for whatsapp notifications atleast, it is not showing a counter (ex: 11new msgs), tried many different settings though :( I have keep only last notification, and Show all multiple events handling.

Compare screenshots with ones from dashclock widget with whatsapp extension. I want it to show the total number of messages too.

Another thing, I know dashclock and NiLs work differently, but how can I make, like in the screenshot of dashlock lockscreen, the calendar events appear, even if they don't appear as notifications (but as extensions they work differently and get the data from the app itself, ie, events that are due today).

1 more silly questions:

What is the option "ignore empty notifications" do exactly. How can a notification be empty :p
[Android Apps and Games] zouden:
I would also really like this. The text "11 new messages in 3 conversations" normally appears in the notification pane as a line under the body of the notification. So the information is there, we just need NiLS to read it.
[Android Apps and Games] lukas9206:
Thank you for this, it s really cool.

[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
1. The OP is very old and outdated. currently the counter only shows the items count that was provided by the notification - e.g gmail notifications contains the current unread email count.

2. You can use Quick Calendar app or Nudnik to show upcoming events as persistent notifications and then show it on NiLS using persistent notifications settings.

3. Empty notifications are notifications without ticker text (the text that appear on status bar when it arrives) and without parse-able content, usually there are no notifications like that, but the reason I added it is for gmail "Archived" notifications that appears empty.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
You can't. NiLS cannot notice if it's 4 notifications from the same app or just an update to the same notification. I hope later android will provide a better api for this.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
1. No. currently no app is capable to dismiss other apps notifications.

2. This swiping class cannot be used inside a widget because widgets doesn't have touch listen capabilities.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Use app specific settings - "Multiple Events Handling" : "Show First Event"
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
This is only exception I know.

There is an open issue for that.

https://roymam.atlassian.net/browse/NILS-48
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
No, it doesn't. it only uses swipe to dismiss on the settings page but not on the widget. the setting page is a standard app not a widget.
[Android Apps and Games] Cbass15:
I've tried the dashclock whatsapp extension and it doesn't show you the message on the lock screen like NiLS does.. Amazing app :)

Thank you for the information!

One more question: is there an ideal setting for nils and texts so that I don't get repeat unread message counts like this:

Thanks for the help! I've been tinkering but can't figure this one out.
[Android Apps and Games] Guzanni:
Do you use the dev version or the playstore version? So if someone sends you a whatsapp message, you can read the whole message on your lockscreen? Even with multiple messages/persons?
[Android Apps and Games] b0rman84:
Hi!

It will be great to set own icons on notifications, because some icons ruins all design :)

Plus it will be great to add some paddings from left/right - it will be even more beautiful than now! :)

Thanks for a great app!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Cbass15:
If you talking about NiLS then I downloaded it from play store yes. And I'm not sure about multiple people because I only text my girlfriend from it.

Use on Home Screen

Can NiLS safely be used on the home screen rather than the lock screen? Seems a strange question but just want to verify, on Android 4.2.2 (Samsung Mega 6.3) this won't cause any problems when boot up or reboot?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] zellleonhart:
Yes very safe. Been using on my homescreen since the alpha.

How do i make the notifications text for like messages to be more private... E. G "new message" instead of the actual text....
[Android Apps and Games] Lord P:
I'm using Handcent and what you want is in the settings for that app (Notification Settings, Notification Settings, uncheck the Show Notification Text). It's much the same for the default messaging app too. Go to Settings and scroll down to the Notification options, then check Privacy Mode. It's not set through this widget. Hope that helps :)

I have a problem with nils + widgetlocker

the notification appears, but I cant click them.. the widget is not locked.
[Android Apps and Games] Firel246:
You gotta go to WidgetLocker settings -> First option up top for me its "Buttons" but i have it in polish

then you gota check ALLOW FOR INTERACTION or something close to that

Hey. I have a problem. Sometimes, I assume, NILS is forcing me another dialer, not the one that is in HTC ONE Sense. Im not sure if it is actually NILS, but i use only NILS, WidgetLocker and NOVA.

The thing is, this dialer somethimes comes up. sometimes not. for example when my mother is callin, i have the default htc dialer, but when a friend of mine is the new dialer appears. What is frustrating, even when you click to reject the call it still answers it. Its really annoying. Anyone got a clue how to get rid of it? How to force HTC default dialer to never be changed?

Problem

Hello, I have a little problem. When I receive text messages I get two different notifications, both the notification from NiLS Widget and the stock one. How can I disable the stock notification? You can see what I'm talking about in these two pictures: i.imgur.com/5OPckGD.jpg imgur.com/fsy0sup.jpg (I am a new user and I can't post links or images so I broke up the links).Normally I only have one lock screen and that's the NiLS Widget but when I receive texts it's like a new lock screen temporarily pops up because I have to swipe left to see the my main lock screen. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Firel246:
That two next to pin means you have two notifications of similar content/app/etc?? How did you set it up?

I have NILS and want to know how to set up the delete notifactions button to delete both the ones on widget and the ones in status bar
[Android Apps and Games] cabrote:
Hello,

I recently discovered this great App but I have some issues that would like to share with the community: :confused:

1) Even if the Clock is set to Auto switch size in LS Collapsed this don´t occurs. When notifications arrives the clock remain always big.

2) I only see one notification when collapsed, so if i like to see more than one notification I have to choose SMALL clock in collapsed LS.

3) I choose in Whatsapp to handle multiple events and show only the First one, no changes occurs it always show individual messages.

I have Android 4.2.1 and screen size is 5,3".

I Attach two screenshots: One is when collapsed and second expanded. In collapsed one notification is shown, And the Clock is set to auto switch size (I think that even if it remains BIG it should show at least two notifications)
[Android Apps and Games] klellson:
I'm not sure how I set it up, it was like this when I first installed the widget. However it seems like when I receive a notification from stock apps, i.e. messages, missed calls, emails, etc - I get notification on the NiLS lock screen widget and also on another widget on the lock screen, the stock one. It's pretty frustrating and I don't know why it's like that
[Android Apps and Games] cabrote:
I add to my recent post. Maybe this can help. I think that the NiLS app think that the bottom space is different or larger than actually is. I attach a picture of available space for the ls collapsed.

Maybe the clock dont shrink cause the app think that has space at bottom. Could be solved with an option to "shrink clock size" when notifications are more than "x" ones.

swipe dismiss

So, alot of people are looking for swipe to dismiss.

One of the limitations is that since NiLS is a widget, it can't swipe to dismiss, but a full app can use swipe.

So, what's the possibility of integrating NiLS with a Launcher?

A launcher is an app.

It would work as your home screen. Then swipe and other capabilities are no longer a limitation.

I have NiLS and cLock on my home screen. ssLauncher as the launcher. No additional screens, running Carbon on my Note. It's sleek and sexy, and everything you need from your home screen is right there.

Would also be nice if I could quick reply to Google Voice texts right from NiLS.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
There is need to create a launcher. The solution is much simple. See NiLS+ app on NiLS official community on Google+.
[Android Apps and Games] Tirozz:
Hello!

First of all great app, I really love the design and everything. My question has probably been answered here before, but I couldn't find it anywhere specific.

On my Galaxy S4 lockscreen, I've set Nils on the 'Home'-lockscreen. The widget always opens in 'Collapsed' or 'Small' mode, thus when multiple notifications show they are being cut off and I have to manually enlarge the widget itself. Is there an option that can set the widget to be on 'Always expand' mode..? That would be the last thing I need :D however..this could be something Galaxy S4 related as well of course..

Edit: I've read through the thread and as I understand now this is OS-related and Collapsed mode was implemented to deal with this. Really a shame that this isn't an option (yet) somewhere i nJelly Bean to expand by default, would make it perfect :) would NiLS + offer this functionality as it's not really a widget?

Edit2: Is it correct that in collapsed mode, notifications are not Clickable? I have it set active in the options, but can't click a message...or I"m missing something ;P

Edit3: I've enabled 'Monitor notifications bar', but unfortunately Gmail and Hangouts that I read on my pc, and thus are removed from the notification bar, are not removed from the widget itself. I had something similar with MissedIt in the past, is this normal behaviour?
[Android Apps and Games] new ion?:
Nils + puts bars across the lock screen you swipe to access the info or dismiss.

Don't think stock JB has it but CM10.1 has expanded mode like that...

[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
That's a limitation a user app has as far as access to things like system notifications due to how Android works. If I knew how to explain it better, I would. I know I learned that somewhere in this 117 page thread...
[Android Apps and Games] cabrote:
If the Widget is collapsed is normal if the widget is expanded it should open directly to the app.
[Android Apps and Games] wudini:
You're right, thanks for the info. :)
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Yeah, that too. Forgot about that. Good answer.
[Android Apps and Games] Tirozz:
Ha ok, thanks for the answers! Anybody experiencing this one below;

I've enabled 'Monitor notifications bar', but unfortunately Gmail and Hangouts that I read on my pc, and thus are removed from the notification bar, are not removed from the widget itself. I had something similar with MissedIt in the past, is this normal behaviour?

I think it now does work with Gmail, however Hangouts are not removed (yet).

Edit: It does work with Hangouts as well! Just takes about 15 min to dissapear. Nice! Is the monitoring checking with an interval or something?

Edit2: Nah, I was wrong, Gmail and Hangouts unfortunately won't work yet :(
[Android Apps and Games] mrheffner:
I've been reading through the thread, but can't seem to find whet i'm looking for.

Is there a way to disable Gmail sender pictures in Nils or recplace it with the gmail app icon?

I've tried disabling them in Gmail.app, but that doesn't work.

I don't like the clutter of the notifications caused by different senders' picture tiles.

whatsapp notifications

Hi all,

Does anybody knows why in the lockscreen whatsapp notifications appear accumulated? If I receive one notification and later another, it always appears as notif 1 + notif 2, and so on o and so forth...

I've read something about there is an option, I don't know in Nils or in Whatsapp, but I don't find it.

Could anybody help me and specify where is this option?

I have a samsung s4.

Thanks a lot in advance,

:good:

[Android Apps and Games] Lord P:
Downloaded the latest version last night. Was very impressed to see that the crashing issue when terminating background apps had been sorted so fast! However, there still appears to be an issue. Now, whenever I clear all the running apps in the background, it also clears all notifications in this widget. If it's me being a muppet and I've just missed something obvious, apologies! I'm running it with Widget Locker.

Oh, and Words With Friends still doesn't show up :P

On the whole, this is an excellent widget though. Can't wait for the last little niggles to be ironed out.

UPDATE: Updated to 1.2.3 but the same problem still occurs.

UPDATE 2: Just tried it on the standard 4.2 lockscreen, without Widget Locker, and the same thing happens.

AW: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

Wouldn't it possible to register a ontouchlistener instead of onclicklistener and simulate a swipe gesture. I see it would be not that perfect like the notification center but it would full fill the requirement to swipe away the notification....

It's simply not possible inside a widget. For a long time it wasn't even possible to scroll inside a widget.

Action buttons for notification

I'm considering implementing a buttons toolbar that will pop up after touching a single notification, it will have the following buttons:

1. Open

2. Clear

3. Hide notifications from this app

I would be happy to know what do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] krsmit0:

[Android Apps and Games] zotac1907:
Is it possible to show the next alarm next to time and date?
[Android Apps and Games] AlkaDragos:
Very nice application indeed. I would like those features as well. Would be nice to clear only one notification and also hide some notifications as system ones. Also would like to see implementation to hide status bar if widget it's used on lockscreen ( or it's used anywhere - matter of taste ) as it was requested some time ago. No problem if it requires root anyway as many and many users root theyr device nowdays. (As an option of course) :)

@zotac1907 - I don't think it's a good idea to transform this notification widget in a "Clock widget" ... Just it's a good replacement for statusbar in lockscreen.

@krsmit0 - Would be a nice option as well.

Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] leongzxc:
great new features to build!'

i have a suggestion tho.. how about allowing us to "tick" to display what we want to be listed in your notification widget? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

Do you mean to create custom notifications, like notes? Or to tick existing notifications that won't be cleared when pressing clear button?
[Android Apps and Games] MrBC:
Re: [App] [4.2] Lock Screen Notifications Widget

Great idea
[Android Apps and Games] Wikiwix:
Some ideas:

When there is no notification, there should be a bigger clock and even more important: no "dismiss all"-button

Tapping on the clock should work as in the clock-widget ( -> go to clock-app) and tapping the date should open the calender (these actions would be the same as in the notification bar in cm10.1)

Two bugs I have:

The notifications are no longer cleared when unlocking the screen(this worked for me in the beginning, but now it doesn't work any more)

In "Recent Apps" "Notification widget" shows up, when I used the widget to open a notification, what makes no sense. The

android:excludeFromRecents="true"

flag in the right (or better all ;) ) activity should prevent this.

Although there are some things that could be better (see above) or features not possible in widgets (I'm sure at some point there will bie an API-level making swipe in widgets possible ;)) it's a great App I already love using on my phone.

About your idea with the buttons toolbar: I am not sure whether this is good (because of possibillities) or bad (because of additional action needed). But if it is optional it would be great.

Thanks for a great app :)

I may be missing something but... how do you enable/disable which notifications to show?

the "app specific settings" list is empty

EDIT 1: ok I think I found it...

wouldn't it be bettere to scan all apps and create under "app specific settings" a list of apps that send notifications and then let users choose settings from this list?

the way it is implemnted now, you need to receive a notification to change settings...

The list would look like this

App1 [ ] [Settings]

App2 [ ] [Settings]

App3 [ ] [Settings]

where [ ] is a check box to enable/disable the notification for that app and [Settings] an icon which is enabled only is the checkbox is enabled and allows to change settings specific to the chosen app

EDIT 2: also, the MAX LINES options does not work, whatever value I set it goes back to 1

EDIT 3: and it seems that even MULTIPLE EVENTS HANDLING is not working (I only see one message in case of multiple notifications) and EXPANDED NOTIFICATION is not working
