NotiCounter Widget (Version as of this tutorial is v1.0)

Thanks to st-tps for creating it.

If your using Null_ and tired of not having a notification badge on your screen, this is the answer.

NotiCounter is just as the title suggests. Its a Widget that you can customize and have notification counts show on your gear screen. And it includes custom sounds.

Preparation.

If you have a previous version be sure to uninstall it before installing the new version.

Download NotiCounter Widget from here

Installation

Install NotiCounterWidget

Reboot Your Gear (Must Reboot after install)

Once rebooted go into Gear Settings >> Sound >> Notifications

Select NotiSilent (If it is not in your list, Did you reboot?) This is simply a blank sound file. this needs to be selected to avoid multiple notifications sounds (Note: Skip this step if you Don't plan to use the sound features in Noti.)

Now to avoid the repeated notification that Noti has been granted SU permissions, lets disable that message.

Open Super SU

Press the # next to NotiCouonter Widget

On the Notifications "Global Default" change that to read Disabled. This will stop the notifications from comming on everytime your screen turns on.

Open NotiCounter Widget app

Read the Pop up box.

Wait for SU permissions to kick in and the give the app SU permissions.

.

Play Sound? Check this box if you want to have a sound play when a notification comes in. (Be sure you did step 4 if you select this)

You can leave the sound file at default or Select a different one. (Click on Choose File)

Once you Select Choose File you will be give a list of sounds that have been included with Noti app.

Select any file and you will hear a preview of the sound file.

If you want to use your own personal sound files, go up one directory and the select Notifications folder. (See previous tutorials for adding custom sound files)

Once you have selected your sound file you want, then click Set

.

Custom Sounds? Check this box if you want to have custom sounds play according to the app .

Select Add Apps

You will be presented with a list of all apps that are set to send notifications to your gear.

Select any app you want a custom sound for

Select the sound file just as you could have above.

Once Selected you will see a Toast message box appear at the bottom letting you know it has been set.

Continue to add any other Custom Apps sounds you want to use.

Once your done got back to main Noti Screen.

If you made a mistake on one of the apps, select Edit List

You will be presented with a list of all the apps selected. Press and hold to edit anyone of them

You will have the option to Change, Abort, Delete.

Once done go back to main Noti Screen

.

Launch Notifications app on tap? Just as it says, Do you want to open the notifications screen when taping on the widget?

Text Size - you can change the text size to larger or small according to your needs

Color - This will alow you to change the color of the text using the sliders as needed.

Widget Background (Ellipse, Round, Transparent, Custom)

Custom Background - Selecting this will allow you to have a custom background

Select your background similar to how you selected a sound. when selecting a pic you will see a preview of it for a few seconds.

Blank spot at 0 unread Notifications? Basically do you want to see a number 0 or nothing at all when there are no notifications?

Power-saving Mode? Normal, Medium Saver, Power Saver. - Normal will give your a more stock feel for the Gear (I prefer Normal)

Normal - Checks for activity in the notifications app, if it´s running it does badge checks with a certain intervall.

Medium Saver - Checks for activity in the notifications app, if it´s running it does badge checks with a certain intervall. When Notifications hit 0 it stops the checks

Power Saver - Only checks Once upon screen On, then nothing.

Restore all Data - This will remove the sound files that Nofi install. If you want to remove Noti you might want to press this button first.

Now that you have your settings Press Save

Now place the widget like you would any other widget.

you will see two options for your widget. Normal and Bold. that is in reference to the Text number. (I prefer Bold)

Check out your new Noti widget.
