TxMissed - unread sms / missed calls / unread emails widget

Hello,
i want to contribute with my first widget. It's text based notification widget. Inform you about unread messages or missed calls. Support verbose number (like 1 = one, 5 = five etc.). Very customizable - color, sizes, text format, bold, stroke ... If chosen font does not fit to area, it will be automatically resized to smaller one, which fits. Personally, I use it at Widget Locker screen, so I can easily see count of unread messages. Tested on HTC Desire (Froyo) and emulator (Froyo + Gingerbread)

If you already have version 0.1.2 and want to upgrade to 0.2, please uninstall old version first! New version has different settings system and its not compatible with old one, so it would probably cause application crash.

Hi, could you provide me some closer information?

Will widget crash after adding to home or just nothing happened?
Is it posible, that you have unchecked both "Show zero counts" config options? In that case, widget is "invisible" until some events come (new sms/miss call)
Is service running properly? (Settings->Applications->Running services->TxMissed)

Personaly have HTC Desire on LeeDroid 2.3d with no problem.

Appriciate this bug report, Thank you very much for informations

It's OK now, I found the problem, I should do modification (font, color etc) one by one and not all in the same time !

I really like your app ! Thanks a lot ;)

Works great on my myTouch 4G with Froyo. I am still playing with it though, so we'll see if it continues.

To New Just Yet To Donate

I'm on Ginger bread and see this app is fairly new. I looked in the market first, now seeing this is new. I'll a wait for more updates as I can't seem to get the app to work just yet, on my Evoerolv Gingerbread rom. I'll fuss with it some more, as I can't wait for future updates!

~PLUR~ Peace Love Unity Respect

~DJyoSNOW~

P.S. @KreAch3R K9mail functionality Please & Thanks

Choise of application

Is it possible to select a custom application to open instead of the standard?

Normally I use ChompSMS instead of the build in SMS application, but TxMissed opens the build-in SMS app. I've looked under the program settings, and the SMS app is not associated with anything.

I will consider this for next versions. If I keep it simple, to understand, app just told android to show sms app. It don't choose anything, just get system default. Maybe it's possible to set Chomp as your default app, for now ...

I will try. For now, I am rewriting UI part, to be able show more than two informations. After this will be done, i should go investigate email options :)

Some font bug was repaired in version 0.1.2, make sure you have updated version. If you already have and app still crashes, i will be glad, if you send crash report ...

    Good work. I wanted to do this with tasker. But there is no missed call variable in Tasker...as far as i know.

    Hi phumpal, I love this widget.

    Would it be possible (or is it already possible) to add an option to change the word 'none' to 'zero' I realise 'none' is better English, but it's just a bit too similar to the word 'one' and when using the default, quite compact, layout the two are difficult to distinguish.

    No problem with that, it doesn't take much work to do ... added to "wish list" for next versions :)

    Would it be possible to make this widget break into two lines

    callnone
    texttwo

    ?

    I'm sorry, I have not much time - school, job etc. Hardly have few hours a week to fix bugs. So I don't think it would be possible in near future. I can add it to todo list and if will be some free time in my schedule, I will do it, but no promises!

    Hi All,

    I'm currently developing a widget with much of the features of TxMissed:

    • It currently reports number of missed calls, unread SMS and unread messages on the main phone's account (the gmail account).
    • Customization of font and background color and transparency. Also font faces (can use fonts stored in external SD card).
    • Customization of the layout (alignments, padding, etc).
    • Text messages can be customized to show whatever phrase you want.

    And more features I have currently planned to include.

    I hope to upload a first version here at XDA in one or two days, after I can test it a bit more, so stay tuned if you are interested.
