I'm curious to see if there is a mod or an app that will turn on the screen when a SMS/MMS is received?
I'm using the Elegancia ROM, on ATT. I'm coming from an iPhone, and this is one of the features I would like to have. I've tried ViperXL ROM, which has that option, but I'm not a fan of the ROM.
I'm on elegancia4.2 and use chomp sms. That combination works just like the iPhone with bitesms (I.e. screen lights up, shows the text and I can quick reply to it).

I am convinced that the dialer is pooched on our phone. So I downloaded a replacement dialer from the market, but found that it cannot replace the phones dialer. I went into the dialers settings and do go for getting it to clear defaults root or not. So I am going to in list help to try and kill the phones dialer and replace it with another dialer be it one from the matrix or one from another phone, but I am really locking everything down to the dialer.
UPDATE: Not entirely convinced it is the dialer anymore.
I was downloading extra stuff for an app(game) with WIFI on. I did not send/receive txt or calls. once the download was done I turned WIFI off and noticed a few min later that 3G never picked up. Tried to make a call and the dialer sit at connecting but never dialed out. I had 4 bars for signal not 3G icon and the bars were grey. Could not end the call via end call button as the dialer seems to have locked up. hit the home button and the notification bar at the top flashed green. pull down notification bar and tried to click on the dialer and nothing just closes the note bar. go into setting/applications and tried to FC the dialer and no go it stayed open. Then FC'd dialer storage and the dialer died, then radio bars dropped totally and had an x in them with the lock screen saying "no service". airplane mode would stay a transparent blue and never actually complete. Had to reboot phone to get 3G/voice back.
So has no-one else seen this. And BTW this has been happening since day one, and on all updates including the 198_6. And no no other apps are installed when I have seen this and it happens almost 100% of the time but before I thought it was only leaving the wifi are that did it.
bump, new stuff, see OP. I am really trying to see if this is just my phone or other peoples phones as well.
I had go dialer installed with no problems, but I love the stock dialer so I scrapped it. Worked fine though.

That was one I installed, but I could never make it the default dialer. Was it set as your default dialer? meaning when the phone rang Go dialer opened and not the built in dialer? because mine would always be the default dialer.
Are we able to do this in Sense? I know you can on iOS, but I have yet to find a setting for it in Sense.

im also looking for something like this, and also have the ability to repeat notifications at set times. I work in a pretty loud and fast environment and its pretty hard for me to even feel my phone vibrate much less hear it, which is why I need it to keep repeating. Something like lightflow would be nice and the actual light doesn't really matter to me, just the repeating and ability to set individual tones. I tried lightflow, but I couldn't get it to work.
The only thing I can find in sense is different ringtones per contact. As far as multiple notification reminders, I think GoSms Pro (free) supports that.

Yes. I'm using go sms right now, but hand cent also supports text reminders. I just need to find a way to get custom text tones. I like to use it that way so I know who to reply to first in order of importance.

Hmm. I'm trying out light flow today. It seems to be working okay for right now.

I gave lightflow a try, but for some reason I couldn't get my phone to wake up so I promptly uninstalled it once I got it to boot. I was messing around with different settings in there so maybe ill leave them on default and ill give it a try. I think I checked the special htc option in the settings, and that might have done something.
In Handcent if you go to an existing conversation there is an icon in the top right of a person with a gear. In this menu you can set custom notification ringtones for that person.
I use chompSMS and it allows me to assign custom ringtones for each contact. I had to download it through their site.

Oh really now? Maybe there's something like that in go SMS.

I will be getting this phone next week and it will be the first one I use without a capacitive key for the menu button.
I know with certain apps the black menu bar will pop up on the bottom. What about in things like alternative home launchers? Will I have a black bar in all of my apps? [Ex: browsers, launchers, etc]
That might annoy me. I want this phone badly though.

I cant comment about alternate launchers, but the menu bar hasnt bothered me one bit. And I came from a Samsung. Just my opinion.
They have mods in the HTC one forums if you are rooted to get rid of the 3 dot menu and map it to the HTC logo. Roms and kernels from there work fine on T-mobile phones with the exception of WiFi calling.

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to make the recent calls your default screen when you press the phone button. Mine always starts at the keypad even when I change the order in the edit tabs menu. Is the keypad default no matter what?
Anybody??
I do not believe this is possible without switching to an alternative dialer app.

2 weeks in with the HTC One and love it still... I have always rooted and gone with custom rom (thanks to XDA-Dev!) within hours of getting a new device from AT&T (sticking with them cause I have an old grandfathered-in unlimited data plan) but didnt with the HTC One because I just seemed perfect for how I use my phone.
Now that I'm back in the saddle at work and deep in writing some heavy code I notice one thing that may be the single reason I need to root / mod (unless Im missing something): When I get an SMS I get the audible notification sound I have selected and the small LED light indicator, but unlike my last android device, the screen doesnt wake and show me the lock screen where I have it setup to show the first few lines of new emails and SMS messages... so I have to stop typing each time and manually press the power button each time...
is there a way to enable this or is LED / sound notification basically all the stock AT&T HTC One is capable of?
Anyone else dealt with the same issue and found a workaround?
Don't quote me but I used handcent to get around this same issue. Handcent works really well but I wish they would have allowed this on the original messaging app. There are quite a few dumb decisions that were made on the One

You can do it, but you're gonna have to decompile and edit some things.

Yes there are many options for screen-on SMS notification. ROMs such as Viper One (via the built in Venom Tweaks) and TrickDroid (via an Aroma option during installation) support screen-on SMS notification with the default messaging app. Several 3rd party SMS apps have this feature as mentioned previously.
Also look into Glowfly in the Play Store. Nice mms wake solution.
metro notifications........is the best!!!!!
Activenotifications is also a great option. Mimics the moto x wake display feature

I use Notifier Pro. It gives me a banner across the top of my screen like the iPhone does and it gives you the option to wake up the device
