Strange it suddenly started working today, Gmail as well as WhatsApp, not sure what the culprit was.

Although I have a problem with calendar reminders, where the screen turns on every 3 minutes, as long as I don't act on the calendar reminder.
[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
is it possible to dismiss a notification right from the lockscreen?
[Android Apps and Games] MFaust:
Nice widget but.. can you add a option to see upcoming calendar events (3 days or one weak earlier) ?
[Android Apps and Games] Largamelion:
You can dismiss a NiLS notification by touching the icon of the notification and then the 'x' that appears next to it. You cannot dismiss notifications from the status bar by using this method (you might in Android 4.3, not sure).
[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
Yes but that's the thing. If I hit the x it doesn't disappear in the notification bar. I would like to dismiss it without having to pull down the notification bar
[Android Apps and Games] Largamelion:
Not supported in Android 4.2 or below, Android 4.3 should be able to do it if I am not mistaking.
[Android Apps and Games] thegios:
is it confirmed that this is not working properly on 4.3 stock?
[Android Apps and Games] William_couch:
Works great on my Galaxy S4 on the t-mobile variant. the talkback was annoying at first it was messing with gallery function but i just turned off all the settings in talkback even though it was set to off and it works fine for me.

The only thing is on my gallery app the bar on top and the preview for other photos wont hide. I stopped NiLs and they'd go away like normal but as soon as i enable NiLs it keeps them open. The attachment shows what I'm talking about. every photo i look at is stuck like that. I love NiLs but it's bothersome trying to view phtos fullscreen

I'm just running the stock rom rooted with 4.2.2

"Service is inactive. Tap on the alert icon......"-- not true, not true......NOT! TRUE!

Lol

CM10.2

ATT Galaxy Note.

I've futzed with it quite a bit now, and have even enabled access via the accessibility settings....no worky.

Any way to fixy?

This was quite buggy when I first saw it featured on XDA, but at least I could get it running. I've had some terrible luck lately. I believe I had the same issue on 10.1, and wound up uninstalling it. In fact, I'm 99% sure I've tried this on nearly every ROM out there for my device, on multiple releases. No luck, still.

Patiently waiting.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Hi, this usually means that the service has crashed and you should stop and start it. If it happens too often, can you try to capture logcat while it crashes and send it to me by email? Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] Sinergie:
Great app better than DashClock since you get to see the content of new messages. It took me some time but I finally figured out how to display the weather on one single line as shown in the first post :)

One question though how can you get rid of apps which you removed from your phone, but are still displayed under persistent notifications?
[Android Apps and Games] pemell:
Don't just write that, tell us HOW you managed to get weather to show as in the op and help others out who wants to know.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Pick a weather app that has a status bar notification & make it persistent.It's been mentioned before.
[Android Apps and Games] Sinergie:
I managed that by reading this thread ;)

Anyway to get it as shown in the op you need the app Weather Notification, go to the settings of NiLS and check the checkbox next to Weather Notification at persistent notifications and finally go to the settings next to the checkbox and set the size to small.

Would this work on cm 10.2 home screen?

[Android Apps and Games] Royal King:
Please add an option to change the font of the clock! I like stock clock font more :(
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
NiLS is not a clock widget. It's a notifications widget therefore all clock related request will get the lowest priority.

You can do one of the following :

1. Use WidgetLocker and put any clock widget you want.

2. Use NiLS+ (still on alpha) and use any clock widget you want on lock screen.
[Android Apps and Games] Vihru:
Hmm.. Is that impossible that when i get whatsapp message, nils show all messages not in same notification? That would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] lideweister:
I have the widget on my homescreen, it used to work great but now it flickers when I have only 1 notification. Strange thing is, the notification flickers but the persistent notification that is directly above it does not.

Feature Request

Working well on HTC One GPE 4.3 (rooted). Just one request: have an option to turn on the auto-wake feature only when in silent or vibration mode.

Otherwise, one of the most useful apps I've come across in a long time.

App Specific Settings

Can not figure out how to set notifications. The instructions say "To add app specific settings, click on the app icon of the notification when it appears on the widget..." Where is the app icon?

For example I want my gmail notifications to show on my lock screen - how do I do this?

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2.2
[Android Apps and Games] Largamelion:
You need to get a notification first to see the app icon and change app specific settings, it will be on the left side of the notification on your lock screen. Are you sure you added the widget to your lock screen and did you enable the service? Gmail notification should show up by default as all other notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] yurividal:
Broken after update

Used to work fine on Galaxy S4 i9505. After latest update, it broke my proximity sensor. When i am on a Call, the screen does not turn off. If i disable Nils Proximity sensor, everything goes back to normal.

Please take a look at it, since it USED to work perfectly.

Good Job
[Android Apps and Games] MIKEYSAKZ:
I have a galaxy s 3 Verizon and used to love this app and the developer is super responsive emails you back with bug fixes almost instantly. Only problem is I am running bone stock rom and anytime I install it or any accessibility apps it breaks swift key on the note 2 key board and this is true of almost every touch wiz rom 4.1.2 I tried. wish I knew how to fix it cause I Miss notifications on the lock screen.
[Android Apps and Games] yurividal:
I am running stock Touchwiz ROM on galaxy S4, and NiLs does not break my swiftkey keyboard. How exactly is it "broken"? Perhaps something related to "text to speach"??
[Android Apps and Games] MIKEYSAKZ:
That's just it you just said it brother you are running am s4 which is 4.2 or even 4.3 its completely different framework in 4.1 .2

But thanks for the quick answer

[Android Apps and Games] danial.aw:
Hey I am running the 4.3 pacman rom.... and for some reason I cannot get this to use the collapse feature in the widget? Is there a way I can set it that it would go to compact mode when minimized and large mode when maximized? I tried setting the auto switch but didnt seem to do anything for me...
[Android Apps and Games] V4lve:
Hi. I am using this on Rootbox ROM on my Galaxy Ace 2 and notifications flash randomly on the lock screen. Like they keep reloading.
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Don't know if this was requested already or even possible lol.... but it'd be cool if you could slide the individual notifications and go directly to it as if you clicked on it in the statusbar. I hate to say it lol, but kinda like on iPhones :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Try NiLS+:

[Android Apps and Games] joenex:
I want to report two bugs regarding the Whatsapp notifications:

- When multiple messages in a Whatsapp group arrive, it will show 2 messages in 1 notification. However, the same message is also visible in the new notification

- If I click on a notification to go to a Whatsapp group message, it will go to the first message and have to scroll all the way down to the latest message.

Am I the only one experiencing this? Besides these issues, great extension!! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
This is how whatsapp creates its notifications. Whatsapp assumes that you have only one notification (in the standard android notifications bar) and only the last notification action is valid. All of the previous notification actions become invalid and NiLS failed to launch them and as a fallback open Whatsapp app.
[Android Apps and Games] xpdev:
When i have a missed call or sms, i still see standard android notification on LS, i need to scroll on left to see NILS notification...

It's normal ?

I have a S4 mini with JB 4.2.2

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Yes. Samsung sms/missed calls widget overrides any widget on lock screen.
[Android Apps and Games] xpdev:
Thanks

You thinkk there will be a way maybe using root rights or you know if a custom rom may fix it ?
[Android Apps and Games] Jockson:
The "auto switch clock size" option does not seem to be working correctly for me. I set the widget to display max 2 lines when collapsed and it seems the widget does not take this into account and always assumes it's one line. For example, only 5-6 lines fit to my Galaxy S2 locksreen when the clock is small. So if I receive 5 one-line messages in a row, the resize option works fine. The clock keeps getting smaller and everything fits the screen. However, I need to receive also 5 multiline messages for the clock to switch to small. Obviously this is a problem because when I receve 2 or 3 multiline messages, the clock remains large and I can only read one message. Hopefully I'm explaining this clear enough. Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] Rita Muster:
Hello,

First Royman thx for this super widget.

I´m on CM 10.2. I have some problems:

1. How can I stop screen on with any notification. I dont want screen on when email arrived.

2. Can´t reech clock settings menu. I can only open the per app settings by clicking on an app notification Icon.

Thank you very much for any help!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Wikiwix:
1. In the moment that's only possible, if you block notifications from the email app. (But then they are not in the widget ether...

2. When a persitant notification of the clock is present, then go to nils->persistant notifications and check the **** (there are further settings)
[Android Apps and Games] Rita Muster:
Thanks for your very fast answer. 100times a day screen on is far too much for my battery.

I mean the clock settings menu wich is shown in NILS Play Store Preview Pictures. Cant reach it.

Thanks again Wikiwix
[Android Apps and Games] Wikiwix:
Oh, sorry I missunderstood.

When the Widget is set you have to go to NiLS-> Widget
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
For the clock settings go to nils settings then click Widget.
[Android Apps and Games] Rita Muster:
Ok thanks a lot for the super support!!

Only Problem now:

Opportunity to Disable ScreenOn with any Notification!

[Android Apps and Games] Largamelion:
Would it be possible to include this option in the app specific settings? I have one app (Live Score Addicts) that gives me a lot of notifications which I do love to read from the lock screen but I don't want each notification to turn on the screen.

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
There already is. Tap the app icon for settings
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
There isn't an option to turn on screen individually for each app but you can ignore the app completely.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
There is already a feature request for that. Go to our JIRA website and vote for it.
[Android Apps and Games] Largamelion:
Nope, there isn't, I had already checked before posting the question :eek:.

Will do, ty.
[Android Apps and Games] Rita Muster:
Hello Roymam,

THX for one of the best and most useful widgets for CM.

But unfortunately there is a difference between the notification in Statusbar and NILS.

Look at my attachements.

When more then one email arrives for the same email Adress Nils only show the number not the different email subjects.

I tried everything in NILS settings.

For Playstore or other notification Nils show more then one Subject. Only with my K9 Email Notifikation it dont work.

Could you get it?

Thanks for your super support.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Try unlimited in maximum number of lines on NiLS widget settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Rita Muster:
Hello Roymam,

The pictures were taken with unlimited in maximum number of lines on NiLS widget settings.

For me this is the last problem and a fix would be extreme nice!!

Anyway thx for your work
[Android Apps and Games] julioforo:

[Android Apps and Games] McIlroy:
Hi Royman,

i like your widget very much and "normal" notifications work perfectly. I'm having problems (or maybe it's intended to work this way)

with persistent notifications coming from reminder apps such as COL Reminder or Life Reminders.

When i activate the display of persistent notifications, they still show up after they are cleared from the systems notification tab and even after i deleted the Reminder in the app. I tried with different reminder apps and the problem doesn't seem to be app-related. Also the automatic screen activation does not work with these notifications (but does work fine with "normal" notifications).

I'm running CM 10.1.2 stable on an LG Optimus G E975.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Sync back from Android notifications bar is only possible on Android 4.3 (like CM10.2)
[Android Apps and Games] McIlroy:
Thanks for the quick answer! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] D3LuXe:
I have installed it on my phone and on my tablet. It shows me all messages i receive on my phone, but on my tablet it only shows the newest message like the notification bar. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for helping !
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
I guess your tablet is running android 4.3. If so - you should disable two-way sync on nils settings.
[Android Apps and Games] D3LuXe:
you were right, thank you for quick response and your great app!

[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Although I'm from Israel, I prefer posting and answering in English so all of the user could benefit from the discussion here.

As for your suggestions:

1. Slide to dismiss - This functionality cannot be implemented on a widget due to Android limitation with widgets, However there is an extension app for NiLS called NiLS+ that doesn't use widgets and allow this kind of interactions, details will be posted on this forums later today.

2. Animations - NiLS+ also provides some basic animations.

[Android Apps and Games] mrenglishman:
Hi all, I'm sorry if this question has been answered already but I couldn't find anything related in this thread despite the extensive search.

I emailed the developer already, but I decided to post here as well for the benefit of the other users too.

I just installed NiLS -- thank you, it is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. My only question is....can it be set to NOT turn the screen on every time it receives a notification? I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but in phones like HTC One and Samsung GS4 which have a notification led, the blinking led it sufficient for the user to know that he has a notification and he can check it any time. The constant turning on of the screen consumes a lot of batter power and I was wondering if there's an option to turn it off, and check it "manually" by pressing the power button.

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

Nevermind, found it. It seems that lack of coffee in the morning does not kick my brain in motion. Service settings > Auto wake-up.

This is a super nice app. I would definitely pay for it.
[Android Apps and Games] panther788:
Is NLIS supposed to work with themes? I always get stock symbols when I use it
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
No it doesn't. What theme app are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] panther788:
The built in one from cm10.2

Also where do i find nils+?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
There is link on the first post.
[Android Apps and Games] _Jax_:
I really do apologize if this has been asked already. Read through some of the thread but no luck.

Tried out NiLS+. Completely understand that its beta and there will be bugs but for some reason, after leaving the lockscreen, the notifications stay on the screen. Like right in the middle (wherever I position them), on top of the homescreen, other apps etc. It constantly overlays. So if i have say 4 new notification, once I enter my homescreen, they remain on the screen until I swipe them away.

Also, just for an example, if I get an email notification and expand it, nothing shows up. No text or anything just empty space.

Again these are all with NiLS+. NiLS itself is the best lock screen widget. Fantastic work.

Edit: Just for more info, I'm using a Galaxy Skyrocket with CM 10.2
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
What lock screen app are you using? If it stock, please make sure that "lock screen app" is set to "stock" on nils+ service settings. You'll need also to turn on nils accessibility service on android accessibility services settings although you don't need it for notifications because you have Android 4.3.
[Android Apps and Games] _Jax_:
I think that was the issue. Needed to actually select "stock". I had seen it previously but I just left it since it said usually automatically detected. But no more constant notifications :victory:. Awesome! I love this app. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] cpasoft:
Hello all...

I'm using this beautiful lock screen widget, but there is something that is make me crazy...

The alarm sometimes works (it show) and sometimes doesn't.

I'm using a third party alarm soft, in my case G-Alarm. When I set a new alarm, then it shows on Nils, but sometimes two hours later, has gone. Maybe, at the end of the day, the alarm is showing again, and I did nothing!, but maybe 15 minutes later has gone again... It's a little bit crazy...

I've searched on this topic and I find something about alarms, but nothing useful for fix this problem...

Anyway, it's a great app and this is only a little bit bug (but annoying, of course :p )
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
This is a bug on your alarm app, you can see that the alarm icon on status bar won't appear too.
[Android Apps and Games] cpasoft:
Yes, it is on the status bar... It is strange :eek:

P.S.: I'm under Android 4.3, if this is important...
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
It appears on status bar but doesn't appear on the widget? Can you send a screenshot of that?
[Android Apps and Games] cpasoft:
Here you have. You can see the status bar and also the alarm widget on this screenshot.

Anyway, if it's not a common problem then forget about it. It's just curious, but nothing important...

Thank you very much and best regards!

Enviado desde el movil
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
And it doesn't show up in NiLS? That's odd, I'll check this out.
[Android Apps and Games] cpasoft:
Sometimes shows well, sometimes doesn't... It's very odd, but I cannot establish a relationship of it...
[Android Apps and Games] nosray:
I apologize if this has already been asked, but I couldn't find any solutions when I searched. I just upgraded my HTC One to 4.3 and never had this widget until I upgraded. I'm unable to open apps from the lock screen. When I tap nothing happens. I'm not using widget locker unlike other people that had similar problems. Is this just cause 4.3 is new and there needs to be an update, or is there a setting I'm not seeing?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
After tapping a notification you should unlock the device and then the notification will open.
[Android Apps and Games] Sinergie:
Since a recent update of either NiLS or Notification Weather the weather information is cut off on the lockscreen.

I hope this can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] danzel4711:
Hello. I want say thank you for making such good widget but i have just one problem.:good: Im on galaxy s4 stock rom android 4.2 no root. Sometimes when sms arrives im unlocking LS entering stock sms app then im comming back to LS and there are still notifications on screen. I tried different option but nothing work.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
The notification will stay until you clear it manually. Only on Android 4.3 its possible to automatically clear notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] _DX_:
This widget should be amazing from what I've seen, but I just can't get it to work on my device. Some notifications show up, but most do not. Often the first notification after a reboot does work, all others don't. That's the only pattern I can see, and even that doesn't happen all the time. Same goes for the first notification after a re-install of NiLS.

Notifications do come in and are in the notification drawer. I'm using 4.3 PAC-rom nightlies (now using the one from oct 2nd if that helps), and so far it's on every version since I started using NiLS a couple of days ago. I checked al the boxes as described.

I admit I didn't read the whole topic, but I couldn't find an answer in the last couple of pages. Any tips or tricks I can try?

Edit: Using the playstore version, not the dev version.

Edit 2: Download link for dev version is dead :(
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Some 4.3 Roms having some issues with nils. It seems that the notifications service crashes at some point and doesn't come back until reboot. Try to use different app that handles notifications and see if it works. Anyway, stock roms work fine.
