[WIDGET] TxMissed 0.2 - minimalistic unread sms / missed calls / email notification

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)

Ideas, suggestion
I'm open to any suggestions and yours ideas, how to improve this widget. Thanks

Recomendation
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.

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.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

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

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.
