Nevermind I see there is an option for custom icons. Ill just find a blank icon
[Android Apps and Games] thedesolatesoul:
I'm just posting an update on what Im doing now.

I am using Tasker and Minimalistic Text widget to display the missed calls and sms. I use tasker to simply count the number of missed calls and sms and pass it to minimalistic text as a variable. Then I can format it as I want !! :)

Still havent solved the unread email problem yet though.
[Android Apps and Games] maxamaxamaxa:
Mind posting the settings for that? I cant make it work.

Tried to get it to not show anything when no sms/calls was missed. And then to show "two missed calls" when I had two missed calls..

Something like this (I did only edit my own screen in photoshop, and I made the note in english so it would be more clear hehe): EDIT, bah couldn't attach links.. I added them as attachments instead.

Thanks in advance

[Android Apps and Games] thedesolatesoul:
This is how I set it up.

First you set up a task on context 'SMS Received'.

In the task, add an action for 'set variable' and for e.g. %MSGCOUNT is set to %MSGCOUNT + 1

Then in the same context add another task, for 'set Minimalistic text variable' from plugins. Set a variable for e.g. %MNMLMSGCOUNT = %MSGCOUNT

...so that will count messages whenever you get one...

now it depends when do u want to clear them...i clear them on opening the messaging app

so, just create another task with a context of Messaging application, and set both variables to zero.

Then go into minimal text widget, go in the custom layout, add a Locale Variable...put the name of your variable for e.g. %MNMLMSGCOUNT.

Then you should be good to go!

Let me know if you have any other questions, or information regarding this...im interested in this kind of customisation too!
[Android Apps and Games] maxamaxamaxa:

Seems to work so far, gonna come back when its all set up :)

[Android Apps and Games] thedesolatesoul:
nice one...

let me know if you find out how to get unread email counts too...
[Android Apps and Games] maxamaxamaxa:
I did get it to work with mail. I use K9-mail thou, might not work as slick with all mail-apps!?

Ill post a guide soon
[Android Apps and Games] maxamaxamaxa:
If you have done the above, you will have to make a change to the missed call notification.

Open tasker, expand the "Newtel" from taskers ground menu, you see a edit-icon and a check-icon. Hit the edit icon and click properties. Set the Cooldown Time to 5 secounds. Otherwise the count wont work (it will count one call as 2-3 without this setting)!!

Sorry for missing that

Best regards

/Max
[Android Apps and Games] thedesolatesoul:
Nice tutorial...

but im still not happy with the email...I use K9 email too...

if you read your email on a PC, then the email count doesnt get updated

if you open your email on K9 and read 2 out of 3 unread mails, the count doesnt get updated

Also, if K9 is set to polling every 1 hour and you receive more than one email, do you think the Email Received context will trigger once for each email? What if the context is missed due to the cooldown period?

this can be properly solved i think if K9 broadcasts an intent with the unread email count...
[Android Apps and Games] maxamaxamaxa:
Yepp this is very far from perfection, but its the best way I have managed to fix so far.

Its a notification that there is new mails, not a counter how many unread mails you have.

If you have any suggestions how to make it better its more then appreciated. A way to implement a clearing of the mail-notification(android-stock notification) when launching K-9 would be nice, so I wouldn't have to go to the notification-bar to do that.
[Android Apps and Games] lamensterms:
nice tutorial maxamaxamaxa... ill try setting this up this evening and let you know how it go.

thanks mate.
[Android Apps and Games] thedesolatesoul:
I have tried contacting a couple of Devs regarding this but so far no solution...

The email app needs to broadcast a message count when it receives it, so that tasker can collect that. Problem is that no email app does that.

I knew ADW Notifier somehow gets unread email count, but he does in his source code (probing the content providers rather than the application).

K9 is however opensource, so maybe someone can add this feature on his own branch.
[Android Apps and Games] maxamaxamaxa:
? now im lost.

Counting incoming emails isnt any problem at all. The thing we need is an unread-count, so that its broadcasted when you read one of the unread mails. Counting in is what I do with the setup above, but if an "one now read"-count would be broadcasted we would be able to count down one mail at the time instead of resetting to 0 when the mail-app is opened.

However, im really lazy on reading mails and if I would have a text saying that I have 68 unread mail in my workmail atm, then I would go crazy. I want it to only show whan I have new mails so currently it works very good for my needs :)
[Android Apps and Games] lamensterms:
thanks again for that tutorial maxamaxamaxa, i got the widget to do just what i wanted to. i created 3 variables and "new", "TEXT" and "message" - and i have them displayed only when there is unread SMSs. thanks again dude.
[Android Apps and Games] thedesolatesoul:
Hmm...so u want unseen count rather than unread count. In that case you don't even need	a count, just a flag.

The reason why unread count is not working for me is that I already have 30 unread messages and the count just starts from zero.
[Android Apps and Games] largim1711:
Launcherpro has some nice ones, but thats changing your whole system
[Android Apps and Games] catweazle2k3:
Very nice !! And quite that, for what im looking since i have my AndroidPhone...

Some questions:

Do i need root for that?

Is it possible to do it with any other widget or only with minimalistic text

(I'd rather have Icons instead of the text, e.g. like in SMS Unread Count) ??

Possible to have numbers instead of text (one=1, two=2 etc....)?
[Android Apps and Games] maxamaxamaxa:
You do not need to have root to use tasker and minimalistic text.

Im not sure which apps there are out there to pull data out of tasker and if you want icons there are launcher pro, sms unread count and such that you can use. Tasker can display popups, alerts and such, but they will disappear when you switch screens and stuff so its not very useful in this case. I do not think its possible to output any graphics from tasker to minimalistic, but im not sure..

Having numbers instead of text is same same, just change the text from ONE > 1, TWO > 2 and so on.

Or you can pull the %SMSCOUNT right out to minimalistic, but then it will say "0" when you dont have any missed once.

Regards

[Android Apps and Games] catweazle2k3:
Ok....got it...Thank you.

Just few more Question: What Application do you take to "Clean" the MissedCall-Task?

I just took "Contacts" but maybe there is a better solution? Was looking for something like "Last Calls" but couldnt find it...

Possible to set e.g. the Variable " %MINTSMSTEXT" as an Icon, that appears if there are unread SMS, and then disappears if there are none????

Read this at the Tasker Developers Homepage :

"...their icon and label can be dynamically changed after creation via the Set Widget Icon and Set Widget Label actions. "

EDIT:

Ok...found something about it. Made a Widget with Tasker (MissedCall) ...now i know how to change the Icon if there is a missed call :) GREAT!! Now looking how to change the WidgetLabel...want to rename it from "no name" to e.g. "1 missed Call" ...Know what i mean??

EDIT N°2:

Yessssss..now i got it! Great function in Tasker that you can make a widget out of your created Tasks...and let the Icon AND the Label change...difficult for me to explain in english sorry...

But i will post my setup soon including some Screenshots....

NOW i have what i want and its works pretty good for me! (....but still waiting for a standalone widget, that does the "same" thing. For this time, its okay)

Btw ....SMS unread Count, Launcher Pro etc...they are very good. But i want so see an icon on my Lockscreen (using widgetlocker), but only if there IS something unread..i dont want to see an icon if there arent unread things....understand? ;)

EDIT N°3:

Any idea how to count Appointments from the calendar??
[Android Apps and Games] centaur567:
Any chance you could post a tut to do this cos Im pretty hopeless with tasker

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] catweazle2k3:
After searching for a Screenshot-Tool a while, now i can update my "work"....first i post some screenshots of what i reached until now...

This is how my Lockscreen (using Widgetlocker) looks like, when there is nothing "happened". The right Icon shows me the actual date. Its changing every Day automatically...

...and when there is an appointment/event in my calendar, it changes to this one!

And the "same" i did with unread SMS, missed Calls and New Mails...here are some impressions:

The setup for Tasker will follow in a few days...

So...what did i reached with it? Thats very simple...One quick look on my Lockscreen and i have all information, i need! ...and only see the icons when there is something interestent happened ;) ....

How did i reached it? Well, inspired from maxamaxamaxa's tut (once again a big "Thanks" to you!!)...tried by myself playing with tasker. So i made some icons and changed the tasks to my needs...Okay, for the calendar-thing i needed 62 icons to get what i want...but its ok for me...

I was looking so long for a widget that does exacly this...but never found one, that does what i want!

What i want to realize in future: Make an icon, that appears on lockscreen, when there is an alarm set on my phone. And: Playing around with the new App from the developer of tasker... ->ZoomWidgetDesigner, which is implemented into tasker....
[Android Apps and Games] centaur567:
^^^^^ Datz pretty awesome man. Would like to see the tut to set it up
[Android Apps and Games] catweazle2k3:
Thanks...

Actually i am playing around with the ZoomWidgetMaker ....it offers endless opportunities. And i am on the way to enhance my Tasker Tasks with it...Thats really a great App...Best i've ever seen !!

Stay tuned for my updates ;)

Would you happen to know if there's any way to preview these before use?

Also, I've never changed my boot animation before, I've read elsewhere in this thread that you have to have a kernel that supports it.

First copy the bootanimation that you want to somewhere you want on the sd card. i saved mine in the download folder... open root explorer, make sure the top says mount R/O....than click on system than media than look for bootanimation.zip...long press on it and you get a pop up menu..you want to rename it if you plan to go back to it one day or else delete it..i renamed it to bootanimation.zipold....than go back to the main root explorer menu...than click sdcard..than download....your bootanimation.zip that you want should be there...long press it and pop up menu comes up..now you want to click move...at the bottom it should come up with paste and cancel..dont click it yet..leave it and click on the parent folder at the top than click parent folder again..than now click on system...than media...than now click the paste button at the bottom and it should paste your bootanimation.zip..reboot and it should work

Since I got no reply, i used hboot to go to stock. I cant believe I am back at stock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
Were you already rooted, or did you use unrevoked just now? It's kind of hard to point you in the right direction based on the info provided. You don't even mention which recovery you are having an issue with.

My girl just her Evo last week, and I used Unrevoked to root it. I immediately flashed the engineering SPL right after, and when I tried to flash a ROM, I got a similar message about it not being able to chmod. However, all I did was wipe and try again, and it worked. I was able to flash the new ROM and have not looked back since.

I'm thinking maybe it was a hiccup similar to what happened to me the other day. Did you try wiping and doing it again? You have a lot of posts on here so I don't think you're a noob, but without more details, it's hard to point you in the right direction.

What root method did you use or were you trying to use?

What recovery are you using?

What ROM were you flashing?

Did you wipe everything before flashing the rom?

Did you try redownloading the file you were flashing to make sure you don't have a corrupted file?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusva79:
What root method did you use or were you trying to use?

I used hboot like a boss method.

What recovery are you using?

Amon RA_1.8.

What ROM were you flashing?

MYN's RLS4

Did you wipe everything before flashing the rom?

Wipe eveything through recovery, factor, cache, dalvik, batt, and rotate.

Did you try redownloading the file you were flashing to make sure you don't have a corrupted file?

Redownloaded multiple times. I tried to go back to stock but it kept giving a android.process FC. So i went to best buy and got a new one. They didnt have any more so I settled with a white.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
Hold on, I'm confused now. In your second post, you said you had to go back to stock, but now you're saying it's a new phone. Have both phones given you the chmod error, or was it the one you returned?

Also, the "like a boss" method is for people with the 2.02 hboot. The Evo I just rooted for my girl is white, and it was a 0003 version that had the 1.96 hboot (or whatever the exact number is). If this root method is ONLY for 2.02 phones, that could explain why you were getting the error.

I would just try the Unrevoked method. I can't begin to tell you how easy it was compared to what I went through in June when I rooted mine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusva79:
I think I had messed up my recovery and tried to go back to stock. I did go back to stock with my older phone, but always got FC's so I just went and returned it today at Best Buy and got the white one.

It does in fact have:

HBOOT 2.02.000000

3.30.621OSA

Like a boss method should work correct?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
Like a boss method should work, yes. It specifies that particular hboot. However, it requires a lot of ADB and if you made a typo on any one line, who knows what part of the process can be affected? If you have your heart set on doing it the long way, then try again and just be very careful when typing to make sure everything is exact.

Read the first few lines of the "like a boss" thread carefully. The OP states people had problem with the recovery and that there is a custom recovery in a PC36IMG.zip format available for download on that same thread. Did you use that specific recovery when you tried?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusva79:
The one that was specified in the like a boss thread was the one I used. On my old phone I rooted successfully. Later on though I was trying to flash another rom and thats when the recovery started acting up giving me all these errors chmod, installation abort, etc..... using PC36IMG.zip. I will be okay I have helped others root it that way to as well. It be nice to have a wingman helping me out to as weel hahahah:D
