Hello,
I have the ATT Galaxy Note and would like to use it as my pager via text messaging, which I did with my prior iPhone. I would like to have the text messages appear on the lock screen (or unlocked screen if that is the only thing possible) until I view them so I don't have to unlock the phone and drill down into the apps when I am paged at 2am and half asleep. Is this possible?
Thank you.
You can use SMS pro and enable quick reply on it.

You can try GOTO Android lock screen...its on sale for 1.49 right now...looks pretty cool might help out.

Handcart SMS works awesome for this. You can reply right from the lock screen.

I use widget locker as my lock screen then add go sms widget to it. Has a nice transparent theme too. Works really well.
I decided to try Go SMS Pro and it does just what I need it to do.
Thank you to all for your great and helpful responses. Very much appreciated.
That is the one I use, works quite well.

The exact app for your need is called Iphone Notifications from the market. When my wife moved from the iphone to the Skyrocket, that's the only app that saved the day. There is a free version but the paid version would display the actual message on the lockscreen. It works with Widgetlocker also.
SMS pop up is included with saurom and it has exactly what you need, whenever you get a text a window pops up and asks if you want to reply or close the window etc

Lockscreen notifications
Hi.
Nicolas from Productigeeky, creator of iPhone Notifications.
You may want to try our last app LockerPro Lockscreen, it does pretty much what you are looking for.
There is a free lite version.
Here is what it looks like :

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}

Like many of you guys, I really appreciate the benefits of a nice big clock widget. And I find the time on the application bar to be very redundant. I would like to see an option for that to be disabled in any of the newer upcoming roms. It will save precious space

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Personally I like having the time there. That way when I'm doing something like browsing the web I can still see what time it is. Comes in handy when I'm on my lunch break.

yeah, there will definitely be instances when you'd want the time there. i think an option to display it on and off would be very handy

This is an option on cm6. I really can't wait for that to hit our phones!

I have been rocking a white notification bar since day 2... I got the date and notifications text black... Whenever I edit the clock it fc loops..
I'm going to start looking into this..

It would be great if the time display in the menu bar could be dynamic. When in an app have it display, when on the home screen, have it hidden.
What power widget is that? Definitely more useful than the android one.
I got the gauge battery and the switch pro widget. Highly recommend it. There are many different configurations.

Thx!
it's fairly straight forward to remove yourself if you like. If you check this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780614 There's a walkthrough. But be aware on the SGS the line item numbers for the clock and alarm are different than what he shows in that thread.

Awesome! Thanks!
Hey guys,
Not sure if this is the right area, please feel free mods to move this post over to the right section.
Today I was at an event where taking pictures was very much needed. Not at all times however, so it meant a lot off "Phone on, lock pattern, camera, phone off, in pocket" etc. Unlocking the phone is slightly tiresome, however albeit essential for my workplace.
So! I've had a thought. Is there any current or possible modification(s) that can be made to the lock screen, when their is a PIN or pattern enabled, which could give access to certain apps straight from the lockscreen without the need to input the pattern or pin?
This would simply cut out the need to unlock the phone if all I need to so is shoot a video or picture. I also understand the need for their to be some form of extra security as a user could theoretically open the camera and then press the home screen and they are past the security however hypothetically speaking.. could this ever work?
I hope i managed to explain myself well enough there lol!!

There are plenty of lockscreens out there like milocker/magiclocker/widgetlocker that allow you to unlock straight to a camera/sms/phone, just don't think they work with a pin or pattern.
I use widgetlock from the market it can be customised to suit your every whim lol
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
milocker'm using now and it works pretty well that mentioned above are good options
Another vote for WidgetLocker here; it's really easy to add a widget to the lockscreen that launches your preferred camera app.
Brilliant lads thanks! Does widget locker allow lock phone generally with pattern/pin but access to camera without?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yep +1 for wigetlocker from me.
Latest version is awesome compared to earlier ones.
I bought it ages ago and shelved it for jkay and go locker but I installed it again last week and it's really come a long way.
This was what made me take another look at it.

Just tested this - if you have PIN security set up then you still need to enter the PIN even if you're starting the camera app from the widgetlocker screen.
Hmmm.. might be time for me to look into some coding!

Does Go Locker work without Go Launcher?
No, Go Locker requires Go Launcher to be installed.
MOD/Tweak I have been trying to search for and no one has done it yet.
Is there a way to UNGROUP the notifications.Here's Why
If you get a message, it will show in the notification bar the sender and the preview. However if you receive 2 messages, it will only show 2 MESSAGES, and you wont know from whom nor see the preview untill you open that notification.
Same as Missed calls, same as so many others apps.
So, my question is, IS THERE A WAY TO UNGROUP NOTIFICATIONS? Mod/Tweak?
Thank you,

would realy love to get an answer to this question...

Okay, so that's emails but you get the picture. Assuming you've still got your HD2, I rather fancy your chances of getting Jelly Bean on there sooner rather than later
jellybean makes this better but its still not the best solution for everyone, i for example react to some missed calls when i see them and to others after one day, so it would be perfect for me if there was a notification for every evet, and those would not be dismissed by entering the associated app but only when i click on them... so a solution that can do something like that would be very appreciated.

Then you would have tons of notifications filling your notification tray.
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
for me it would be about 10 - 15 each day, and preferably such a feature would be optional, i can understand that most people may not want it
Has this been implemented yet?
Coming from an iPhone to Android, I understand that grouping is a 'good' feature - but if everyone raves about how customizable Android is, I don't understand why this setting can't be changed.
Bringing this back from the dead! Is there finally an option for this? I'm running LP PAC-ROM CM12.1 base.
It's 2019; still wanting to ungroup notifications
4 years later, but I'm still hoping for this!
I don't like going into my inbox; I use my notification drawer as a catch-all "to-do list". I like keeping it clean, so I address each message individually using the quick action buttons. But when grouped, those buttons are no longer "quick" - you gotta expand the group, expand the notification, and then tap the button. It's also too easy to accidentally swipe the whole group away!
Since I prefer the drawer to be an accurate representation of what I have yet to address, I know that this could mean "having a ton of notifications building up in your drawer". And I'm okay with that! If I have a ton of unaddressed emails, then having a ton of unaddressed notifications is an accurate representation of what I have yet to address. My urge to clean out that drawer is much stronger than the urge to clean out my inbox, and I want to take advantage of that.
Anybody know of a hack?
I installed Handcent again and I like it but miss the old text notification that would go across the top of the lockscreen. I could tap on that and unlock the phone and go right to the message instead of unlocking it, pulling down the task bar, and tapping the notification. Is there any way to just use Handcent as the app but keep the stock popup notifcations?

Isn't that going to show the message content though? I don't want people to be able to see the message with the phone locked. This is what I want:

}
Even with that privacy option disabled, if I come to the phone after I get a message all I have at the top is a tiny icon like this:
I like the stock function because it says what time it came in, lets you tap it and go directly to the message on unlock, and I'm just used to it.

I am also using Handcent as my default messaging app. Having what you're asking for would be a nice feature, but wouldn't tapping that notification bring you to the stock messaging app? If so, what would be the point of having Handcent?
Sent from my NCC-1701 using Tapatalk 4
I thought maybe there was a setting in there that replicated the TW stuff, that's all. Or maybe there would be a way to reassign the function and have it point to Handcent instead.
Honestly the only thing really like right now is that I can change the LED color and flashing speed because the stock flashing rate is too damn slow. I guess I'll try one of those apps that lets you handle LED functions again, but last time I tried it didn't do anything.
There are certain features that are very important to me like being able to ready message on lock screen .. I'm very dissapointed that this phone does not have that option

I said the same thing. People argued with me and said the G2 didn't have that ability, but it certainly did. In the message/notification settings.
I really want that,option, as well as call reject, a native flashlight app, LG browser and task app(Verizon sucks), the ability to sync my Facebook calendar with LGs. There a ton of little things I'm missing

There's an app called Floatify that will show your messages on your lock screen. I haven't tried it out, but it appears to be getting some good reviews.

To read messages on the lock screen just get Dashclock widget and Dashnotifier extension. (may not even need the dashnotifier, can't remember for sure but I have both) and put the widget on your lockscreen in place of the clock,
See that's the awesome thing about Android is if you don't like something about your phone or want a certain feature.... Then change it! Between Apps and Xposed modules you can make a really nice stock ROM with pretty much anything you could ask for. Once we get the bootloader unlocked and start getting custom ROMs, forget about it, this thing is going to be a BEAST!

Xposed has the xblast module that has lockscreen notifications and lockscreen flash in it but it crashes sometimes so I use floatify and I love it. For flash light I use the g3 tweaksbox by assigning one of the volume buttons in "miscellaneous tweaks" when the screen is off.
