[Q] SC3 milestone 2 and SMS appearance and notification icon - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Phone is samsung fascinate (SCH-I500), eh03
Recently installed SC3 milestone 2 and my sms notification icon has changed to a grey envelope (same as email) and not the green smiley face. Also, when looking at my messages, the color of sent/received are now a washed out blue/yellow color...
I use golauncher and the default sms app. could never really get used to gosms or handcent.
Is there anyway to get the appearance of the sms and the notification back to the default?

I use SC3 M2 too, but i rarely use my fasci to call/sms, so i don't really understand about your problem...
my suggestion is you install gosms and change the notification that you want,while to texting you can use default sms app...
I hope my suggestion can help you a little

I actually installed handcent and have been using that, like it quite a bit so it solves my problem. I might try GoSMS if I have any problems with handcent, read about some MMS not going through, but as of right now I'm set.

Email notifications

Hi all - first post so i hope it a relatively decent question. Did have a search but couldnt find anything related to this particular issue on this phone.
Im not sure whether this is better in the apps section or the phone specific but thought i would ask here first.
I have an unrooted S2 and i would like to use another Launcher.
My problem is that i cannot seem to find and App or Launcher or anything that can alert me of unread emails.
I have tried 'missed it' and executive assistant but to no avail.
Missed it works for calls and SMS but not email.
I should add that i am not using G mail but using the built in samsung email App with two accounts (1 POP and 1 Exchange).
If i receive an email using the default launcher and open the app drawer there is an email icon which displays the unread count in a red bubble. So if i add this icon to desktop or to the dock i can see unread mails.
If i am using Launcher Pro for example this icon is not in my app drawer or anywhere that i can find it. In stead there is exactly the same icon in the drawer but this does not display the unread count.
I am assuming that this is a semi sansung widget (although i cannot add it to desktop as a widget even in the standard launcher).
I have also tried using the social hub with launcher pro (and Go launcher and ADW) but again i get no notifications.
I still get the notifications in the notification bar no matter what launcher i use but these dissapear after a while.
This is currently the only thing stopping me using a different Launcher and it would be great if anyone had any ways around this.
Unfortunately i cannot and dont really want to forward my emails to Gmail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Nath
Anyone got any ideas on this?

Is there anyway to get the handcent widget to the dock bar?

I love the handcent app more than the default messaging app, but I hate how the default icon doesn't show the number of unread messages. However, the widget DOES show the number of unread messages. But the Optimus G doesn't allow you to put widgets on the dock. Is there any way I can get the handcent widget onto the dock? I've downloaded the Nova and APEX Launchers but I'm not a big fan of them yet. If using a launcher is the only way to do this then I'll just have to get use to it!
EDIT: Or, is there anyway to take my current Handcent theme (bubble colors, font color, background, etc) and make a theme for the default text messaging app?

[Q] Touchwiz MMS app background color (not wallpaper)

I have noticed for a long time now that since ICS and JB, the stock messaging app has an option for background color which shows a black or white "T" implying its for the text. I have changed this many times and it never seems to do anything since my Galaxy S1 days. What does it really do and does it work for anyone? I don't like the stock messaging app black background in the conversation list and if this is supposed.to change that, then I want to fix it.
bump anyone?
