notification bubbles are gone with any launcher other then sense

[blazin-asian]

so i decided to give ADW Launcher a try and its great so far, but i am having an issue that is quite annoying.

i have added the "messages" and "mail inbox" shortcuts on my desktop, but i no longer get the little green bubbles that show many unread messages you have. i have checked under AD settings and regular settings and i dont see it.

maybe i am slow, but can someone show me how to reenable this feature?

thanks!

bump 3 days later. im still trying to figure this out. how can i get the notification bubbles to show when i get a new message? i have included a screenshot to show what i am talking about.

this doesnt work for my with any other launcher then sense so its not just AWD specific either =(

I don't think there is a answer to this I already done some searching.

The closest thing your going to get is SMS unread Count.

It works quite well, It does things like SMS,missed calls, and gmail however it will not do your email inbox. Your only option for your email is to just use the old taskbar ..

Someday I will give a shot at trying to make one for the email.

i don't think it's a "problem" or a "issue", it's just the way it is. The icons you see and use in Sense are for Sense. Sense has features that other interfaces don't....notification bubbles aren't a feature of AWD.

Don't get me wrong, I wish it was a feature of AWD as well, but i can live without it. Really, i don't care to know HOW MANY new sms or emails i have, just that there ARE new messages and the notifications in the top system bar are fine for me.

so you cant get the inbox bubbles to pop up? do you have gmail and ANOTHER email push?

it just isn't a feature that is built into AWD. It does show if you have email in you status bar though...which will take you directly to that mailbox (helpful if you have multiple email accounts). This is one of the reasons I went back to sense UI, along with the 4G toggle widget.

i realized that and been too lazy to change the thread title lol. i noticed that verizon droid phones have an "email" icon. i wonder if that will work.

its the 1st icon on the middle row: http://www.thedroidguy.info/d1.jpg
