Hi,

Is there any sort of app that can light up the screen when the phone is locked, and show notifications when they come in such as text messages, emails, whatsapp etc and a little preview of the message... Then turn the screen off again

I have tried Knock2+ but it wouldn't work properly and made the phone speak when loading web pages etc

Anyone able to suggest anything?

I haven't rooted / modded anything and don't really want to. I have a Samsung galaxy s4 by the way

Thanks in advance
 
So if I'm right... Dashclock is a widget, and so is Nils?

But the only thing that annoys me is with the standard lock screen on the S4 you can't have a pin code and widgets... Is this possible with widget locker?

Just checking as I don't want to pay for it (I know I can get a refund but still) and then it doesn't do what I want it to

For the other functions though, Nils seems to do what I want it to... Just need a lockscreen that allows widgets and pin code (or some Form of security)

If someone could confirm that would be great :)

Thanks!
 
Cool

I've actually just got Nils and it does work with whatsapp... Just tested it out by removing the pin on my Samsung lock screen

What I mean though is that with widget locker, will I be able to have the Nils widget and the Samsung locking pin on the same 'screen' or will I need to scroll left and right to see Nils?

I might get widget locker later and test it
