I have flash the cyanoace rom but i found out unlike others rom, my screen/backlit do not light up when i receive a sms, is there any special setting so that when i receive a sms, the screen/backlit light up?
I think it's the app that doesn't do it. Try using an alternative sms application like Go SMS Pro. That'll work for sure.

Is there another way without using 3rd party sms tools? Isnt there a setting to make my screen light up when I receive my sms?

NoLED makes the battery drains fast..
BLN control is for sure a good option

Does anyone know how to get the number of messages to show next to the contact's name in the stock SMS/MMS app? Thanks in advance.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
I do not see an option for it, which leads me to believe that you will have to use a 3rd party SMS app if you want that feature.
Hey! try usin go sms or handcent sms from the market!
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
I would defiantly give handcent a go its got some pretty good extras also like multicoloured notification LED light depending on event and also you can show a SMS when the screen is locked for quick reply.
Well that's the thing, I meant without a third-party app, like it is on stock Android. I've had Go SMS, but I prefer to have notification icons that actually match with the app, I guess.

I used to use Handcent quite some time ago but found out that it was causing some problems with people receiving my messages and pictures. In addition, it started hanging and would generally slow down. Lastly I was told that it does not necessarily play nice with some other applications, namely LightFlow.
When I eventually put Eclipse on my DX2, I simply did not re-download Handcent and was just using the stock SMS until today, using CM7 and still, the stock SMS.
What does everyone else use, are there any decent alternatives to the stock SMS and if so, what makes it a better alternative?
All I've ever used is handcent, seems to be working nice for me, never used liteflow though.

I'm a huge fan of chompSMS. I've tried Handcent and GoSMS, but I always end up coming back to chomp. The only thing I wish they would add is the ability to multi-select message threads to delete, instead of having to do it one by one or deleting them all at once. I emailed them and suggested that and they responded that it was planned for an upcoming update, so maybe I'll get my wish.
I use GOsms. Works great for me.

I have used Metro Messaging Beta for a while. It was when I was going through my WP7 phase. lol. I actually liked it though. It didnt have any cool features (it was actually very limited) but with how simple it was, it was nice to use. I have recently just gone back to the stock sms app though. I also use SMS Popup so when I get a message, I dont even have to open the sms app.
I too, use GOsms. I like the customization and different themes it offers.
Just make sure to manually go into stock notifications and disable. Other wise you will get multi notifications at some point. It will ask you at setup to disable, but for some reason you will still have to manual disable through stock app.
You could always give it a go!

I like the customization of Handcent better, can change a lot of things for individual contacts in handcent.
I just delete the SMS/mms apk in every ROM and put handcent in system/app

Ciao!
GoSMS here BUT the MMS sending on it is whack. I have it set up for 1.2 MB and preserve image resolution yet when I send a pic it'll degrade the picture image. This is for pics under 1.2MBs...
Any one use a different phone/call app besides the stock one?

GO SMS is what I use, I like how it pops up a window without you having to swipe notifications, and the overall customizability of it. As Elite49 said, you cant go over 1.2mb in size but it just let it shrink my photos to fit and it works just fine. Be sure to get all the plug in for it too, there are tons of themes and emotocons etc...

Does yours degrade the pics when their not over 1.2MB? I find it extremely annoying seeing a pic thats under that somehow look like crap when I go to send it.
Another vote for GO SMS here!

Never had a reason to try anything but Gosms, it works, and you can make it look however you want. all i plan to ever use atm
So I have gone through go SMS. Handcent. chomp. The original messaging app. I like messanger 7. But I couldn't figure out how to send pics. I know u can get a theme to make go SMS pro look like it but. It's not as good. Is there something I could look at that could help me out? Thanks

The apps you listed are pretty much the most known and most used SMS apps. You might just be stuck with those. You can try an app called Pansi SMS. It's supposed to be very fast and light. But unfortunately that's about it in terms of SMS.
I tried most of the SMS apps available and settled on GO SMS. It has a ton tweaks and settings you can play with to make it your liking.
i see...................
,,,,,,,,,,,,,, go sms or iphone styled sms or messenger app sms or xms pro use one of these ................... if u r not comfortable with it try differnt launcher like 360 or adw they have in built sms app or exlauncher /go launcher

I gave Pansi a try and it was pretty lightweight and fast, but I remember switching back to stock for some reason. I think I had MMS problems with it before or something, can't really remember. But I hope it works good for you.
I hate how my screen turns on when I receive an sms message. I only need the notification icon in the taskbar and the led blink and if I disable the notifications from the settings the screen does not open but I loose the other notifications as well. Any ways to fix this?

Don't know if it's possible with the stock app, however if you're willing to use a 3rd party app, Go SMS does have an option to keep the screen off and quite possibly other apps do too.

switch to HANDCENT SMS, it is the best sms app, i am using it for a year now. Go to setting and disable pop-up. Now when you receive a message, it will vibrate, led will blink, but screen will not turn on. You will ses the message in the notification bar.

That's what I'm using right now but I want to minimize the use of third party apps as much as possible . Plus with handcent sms when I send a picture or video it doesn't work. I have to use the regular messaging app in order for my mms to leave successfully .

Still no solution for this one. I don't want to use handcent or go sms for two reasons. First I like the simplicity if the stock samsung app and second I use the direct call feature that only works with stock app. There must be a way to hack the default messaging app to stock opening the screen when receiving a message.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
BUMP. This feature is sooooo annoying!!!!
It irritates me also. I've used Handcent on every device in the past, but I don't want to for some reason on this one. I actually rather like the stock messaging app.
I suppose I'll go back to Handcent. The screen on is annoying, plus it creates a temporary wakelock that drains the battery even more.

If you're running a ROM which doesn't wake the screen for a text, and that annoys you, try SMSawake. Its simple and works flawlessly. No pop ups. Nothing. Just screen on for the length of time you set...
Sorry if posted before. On phone and can't search very easily.

or you can simply use any number or messaging apps that give you way more control over the system than the stock messaging app (handcent, for example, lets you set the screen wake with or without popup, and change notification tones for different users, among others. i'm sure gosms and other messaging apps give similar advanced customization as well).
We all know that. For those that don't want a spaceship for a messaging app, there's this tiny simple solution.
Works very well...

There is probably an option in the messaging app that allows the screen to turn on (depending on the rom).
Most disable it for BLN support.

Not in any messaging app I've seen. I've only seen it in 3rd party apps. And you can have the screen wake and BLN. It just activates when the screen turns off.

I have it in my messaging app. Also Bln on ics with stock messaging app does not work of the screen is activated when receiving a message, so screen wake needs to be disabled for it to function properly.
