Yes, on the lock screen. I find this whole widgets vs. notifications thing confusing. What makes something a widget vs. a notification?
I really do miss the old lockinfo. When I get a new email and I tap on it (I guess I'm tapping on the widget?), it launches a preview of that email; however, if I then tap the envelope icon next to the delete icon, shouldn't it launch the actual mail app? For me it doesn't do that until I unlock the phone. What am I missing here? This just seems like a total mess.

It isn't intuitive but you have to set these things to be on in notification center, even if you don't use it.
You need to make sure that both calendar and reminders are set to "on" for Notification center. Alert style can be none if you wish. View in lockscreen "on".
Anything that is a push notification from an app like an email or message is under the notifications section. LI5 was rewritten to take advantage notification center. So things like your calendar, reminders, weather, stocks, and NCsettings are considered widgets.
try swiping across the mail thumbnail when you have a notification it should launch the mail app.
It's not launching the mail app for me - all it does is give me a preview of the message. And shouldn't the emails be appearing in my widgets anyway? Like right now the notifications say that I have 6 emails yet none of them are showing up under widgets. Same with my text messages - they are only appearing under notifications. Arrrgh - I hate this new setup.
I'm actually thinking about giving ISX a try at this point because I just don't know what the heck I'm doing with LockInfo. I find the settings to be completely & utterly confusing. I don't know if I should be adjusting the settings under LockInfo, notifications or what.
you have it backwards emails and text messages are supposed to show up under notifications. So if you'd like to be able to view your notifications by default go to the main settings page of lockinfo and set the show on lock option to notifications if it isnt already.
Just as it says as soon as you open the main settings page for lockinfo "Configure each applications notifications and the iOS widgets here". So if you'd like to alter the way notifications are displayed for your emails go to the notifications and widgets menu(can also be accessed by simply going to the stock notifications section from the main settings page) and find mail then set how you'd like it to show up. To adjust settings for the weather widget you go to the same place but select the weather widget instead.

Regarding emails, why am I showing no emails under notifications when I have 8 unread emails?
So everything that has "widget" in its name is a widget and anything that doesn't is a notification?

love lockinfo.
i dont think so. Calendar and reminders for example show up under widgets if you configure them to show up on the lock screen.
go to the mail settings page for notification center/lockinfo. How do you have it configured for your accounts?
Download NCDate for Notification Center.

And yes, it will only show Calendar Alerts by default. There may be a NC tweak out there for Calendar Events but I haven't seen one. An alternative is to set "Default Alert Times" for Calendar Events in Settings App to 2 Days. Then it will show the next two days of events in NC.

Ah - old school LI!!!

Which specific settings are you asking me about?
Firstly, thanks to those of you who have taken the time to explore LockInfo 5 and helped other people out with questions and concerns on this forum. It's always nice to have people "in the trenches" helping out while my inbox is getting filled with emails.
To those of you that have voiced concerns about the direction LockInfo 5 has gone, it's worth reading my blog http://blog.dba-technologies.com/post/33157907923/lockinfo-rebooted to understand the design thoughts I had when approaching this project. The decisions were not made haphazardly.
My rationale for the rewrite, for those of you who are not technical, is that the original LockInfo code base, the one that powered LockInfo 4, is three years old and is based heavily on code that existed back in iOS3. It didn't leverage new frameworks like Theos or new iOS frameworks. It didn't integrate will with the notification system and resulted in a lot of inconsistency with the state of the system. The iOS ecosystem is very different now and the maintenance costs of LockInfo had reached the point that a rewrite was necessary. And when it came time to rewrite, I also looked to simplify the overly complex settings that LockInfo 4 and earlier came with.
I do want to have satisfied users. I do want to continue to iterate on LockInfo 5 to provide a tool that everyone will enjoy using. That will not be LockInfo 4 on iOS6 - that's just not going to happen. But it will be a new LockInfo that supports some of the features of LockInfo 4, but many that LockInfo never had. It will support a standard plugin architecture that will allow it to use any NC widget.
If there are usability issues that you feel need to be addressed, email me. I may not be able to reply immediately (I'm focused right now on license issues and critical bugs) and you may not see those features immediately in the product, but I do want to continue to improve LockInfo.
Email me at support (at) dba-technologies (dot) com.
All I ask is for the conversation to be constructive.

I can't seem to get that to work. Here you can see I have calendar items and some emails, but I can't get them to show on the one screen. Both are set to on in notification, and widgets is selected on lock info

I have three accounts and all three are configured to show up on the lock screen. It seems as though new messages that come in ARE showing up on the lockscreen. It's just the unread messages that are already on my phone that aren't showing up.
My notifications button is unresponsive?
Yeah, I don't think my suggestion works. I was able to turn off banners, and remove the text messages from the Widgets page (so they only showed on the Notifications page), but when I turn Banners back on, it doesn't seem to show up on the widgets pages.
Honestly, this app is really wishy-washy. Settings that seem to work one time, don't seem to work again when set up the same way later.
David. I know you posted on this thread once already. If you're still reading this, I think we all need some help, mate. We're trying really hard to figure out how this works, and what the settings do, but it seems inconsistent at best.
Any help would be appreciated!
What's the version #? Cydia's taking a crap and not refreshing my sources.
I tried to install the latest beta that I saw (14-22), but it kept respringing my Verizon iPhone 4 (running 5.1.1). I let David know via Twitter, and he asked for my crash report (which I'm still unable to get, blah).
(Edit: it's now 14-45 on the beta repo, installing now and seeing if I still have the resprings).
14-45 works now on iOS 5.1.1 VeriPhone. =)
Miss the old LockInfo
Hope the new one improves or reverts back to the previous version.
Regardless, thanks to the developer.
