Hey guys have a quick question. So I hid my status bar and am wondering if there is an app to have a text or email notification come up on my wallpaper or background? I know there is noled but Im not a fan. Anything else come to mind?
For txt you can try Go SMS or Handcent. Not familiar w/an app to bring an email to the foreground, but I'm sure someone here will.

As the previous guy said GoSMS, Handcent, there is also chompSMS which is my favorite, and for email there is probably a widget you could get

If you are running ADW launcher, there is ADW Notifier in the market that puts little counter bubbles over the app icons. I think Go Launcher has the same feature. Launcher Pro has notifications built in.
If you are talking about popups or something like that, I have no idea.

Not Really a popup but just maybe like a sms logo on my background or something like that.
What about missedit? its in the market and will put missed texts, phone calls and emails on your screen. Also there is sms unread, which has icons, that you can change , and they have little numbers above them for texts and calls, I'm not sure about email tho

o.o There's a notification led....what you talking about?
For a iOS-like notification, I know ChompSMS and Hancent do it..or used to.

Hi all. New the the Atrix! I had an HTC Desire before and I actually prefered it because HTC Sense seemed so practical. Im going to continue with the Atrix tho.
One thing I find strange is when I recieve a new text message, the only visual notification I get is in the bar at the top. On the HTC it would place a little number on the icon to let me know have unread messages. Any idea on how I can get the Atrix to do this?
Thanks
James
Try this app:
GoSMS Pro
Many thanks. Ill give it go.
Thanks

Some launchers have an extra option to set if you want an unread messages counter or not (Launcher Pro for example). And some launchers need extra stuff (GO Launcher).

i tried handcent, and so far its the closest thing ive found but it doesnt actually show the popup over the lockscreen, it kinda half unlocks the phone and makes the pulldown bar accesible while locked (which i dont like). i want it so it just shows over the lockscreen like on the iphone or on the htc sense phones

Go sms pro works great!
Pops up on top of.lockscreen u can reply or delete right from the lockscreen.

Hello everyone,
Is there any way to see the popup before unlocking but without the screen going on? In other words, I do not want the lockscreen to be on after I send my SMS reply. Just a black screen. I have tried Go SMS and Handscent.
Thanks

What? You mean like the notifications going on the lock screen without lighting up the screen?

What I mean is, after my popup comes up and I send my reply, the lockscreen is there. Is there a way not to light up the lockscreen?
I believe chomp sms has something close to this with some configuration.

I use the stock sms with an app called SMS Popup. It works awesome. It's very customizable. Give it a shot, I think you'll like it.

But the thing with SMS popup is that it gives you multiple popups of the same message
If anyone is still looking for a reliable popup app...try Glowfly. I know its a weird name but trust me its a good app. So far...no multiple popups and better than SMS popup
Is it possible to hide the contents of a text message in the notification bar. In other words still notify me of the text, but not the actual text message? Yes i know 3 rd party sms apps can do this, but is it possible on the stock app?

Unfortunately not. There were not settings for this in either GB or ICS that I am aware of. Mildly frustrating not to have the option.Your only choice would be 3rd party messaging (which I personally hate ) or disabling notifications completely... Although, perhaps you could look for an alternative SMS notification app? I'm fairly certain you could find a good one. Although, that isn't stock either, but certainly better than a new texting app.

Thanks for the help. I don't like 3rd party sms apps either so I guess i'll just have to deal with it.

GO SMS has the feature, but that app is now just plainly sucks. Too many advertisement, too many updates and no good free themes
My stock app only shows the notification after the txt comes in, yes it scrolls thru the msg as it arrives, but if the phone is off i can't see anything. Stock .215 XT912

Is there any reason why you dont want to use a 3rd party app? I use handcent and personally have no use for the stock messaging app. of course its a matter of personal opinion. I like the fact with handcent I can get the message to pop up and I can reply without having to unlock the screen. also I can disable notifications. :good:
I've used Chomp and Handcent on my prior phones.
Call me crazy, but I actually like the stock messaging app on my S5. I even love the silly background with clouds.
Question - are there other backgrounds available besides the five that come with the app? I've searched but can't find anything...Or do I need to go back to Chomp or Handcent for that?

You can change the background to whatever you want. You just pick images on the far left and you can set any image you have on your phone. As for the bubble styles, unfortunately you can only use what is already on the phone.
Duh - can't believe I missed that!
Thank you!
Yeah, I love it too.
