Default Messaging App - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hey, just a quick question.. I'm coming from the galaxy nexus, which allowed me to preview messages at the notification bar. My S4's default messaging app just lets me know a new message has arrived, no way to preview it. Anyway to preview messages without getting another messaging app?

Go SMSPro has also traditional inbox view and almost all that
Agree with op. I used to use go sms pro but have switched to pansi since a few weeks back. It loads much faster - the main app as well as the pop up.
yes i use sms pro, but i feel better to use Pansi sms app
I have change to Pansi for a week ago and i agree... I have used alot of similar apps and this one is one of the best...:good:

LauncherPro notifications

Hey guys
I got the SGSII a few days ago and downloaded LauncherPro because I like the app tray to be vertical like the Nexus S.
Anyway, I have a "Messaging" shortcut on my homepage. The problem is that when I get a new message and have not looked at it, it does not show a little notification beside the icon (like a small "1" if I have 1 unread message).
Is there something I can do to fix this? It also does this with my emails (my email icon is one of the dock icons). I have "Unread SMS count" checked in LauncherPro preferences but it still does not work.
Thanks,
Elliott
This is from the the LP website...hope it helps...
Please note that for these notifications to work, you must either use the corresponding LauncherPro-style icon, or have the shortcut set for the stock phone/messaging app. It should work with other apps as long as you use the LauncherPro icon, and it should work with custom icons as long as you use the stock apps. Support for 3rd party apps with custom icons *might* come in the future but it’s not certain yet.
Thanks.
I do have a shortcut set for the stock messaging app and still doesn't work. No custom icons...
Elliott
you have gone into menu>preferences>dock settings and ticked the notifications for unread sms count havent you?
Ive a custom icon linking to handcent and its working fine with a little red 1 when i have an unread text.

I believe the newest version of Gmail "broke" the mail notofication in both ADWLauncher and LauncherPro. The ADWNotifier description says the following: "Since Gmail app updated to 2.3.5, we can no longer receive the unread count data. I'll try to find an alternative. " Nothing from LauncherPro so far.

From the LauncherPro site: I just received some pretty sad news. The API that LauncherPro uses to access your Gmail messages (used on the Gmail widget and the Gmail dock notifications) is being removed in the next version of the Gmail app for Android 2.2 and higher. Apparently the API does not meet modern security standards.
What this means for LauncherPro users is once you update to this new version, your LauncherPro Plus Gmail widget, and LauncherPro Gmail dock notifications will stop working, and even potentially crash the launcher if you try to use them (I don’t have access to this upcoming version yet, so I cannot fully test it).
I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause, and hope that the Android team will come out with a revised API soon enough, so that we can re-gain our Gmail integration in LauncherPro.

Yes I have. And yes I've read that it seems to work for Handcent but not for the stock messaging app.

Exactly. Thank you. But my email is also not working in the dock...just using the stock email app with Hotmail.
Bump...anyone?
The latest gmail update changed the api structure so that all gmail notification apps (even launcher pro and touchwiz 4.5).
We have to wait for those apps to be updated to the new system.

It works fine for me if im using stock messaging app or handcent. It doesnt work on stock email though. Im not sure what to suggest, maybe try uninstalling launcherpro and reinstalling it?

[Q] Widget for Samsung Email?

Is there something similar to sms unread count but for Samsung Email? I just want something that will have a counter.

It does? It doesn't show for me..
I was thinking of a widget that will allow for custom images like sms unread count.

It does have a default counter. It shows the numbers both for sms/mms and emails, using Samsung default touch wiz, don't know if it works with other launchers. I'm currently using DXHome and counters doesn't show up anymore. Maybe you are using another launcher, that's why you don't see it.

Ahh yes, that's probably why. I am using Golauncher EX. Does anyone know if theres a widget that will support Samsung Email, custom icons, along with a counter?

Whatsapp Integration

Hi.
I use whatsapp for my communication purposes more than SMS/calls. I have selected my default messaging app on Themer as Whatsapp.
As expected, the messages icon takes me to Whatsapp. BUT, the unread messages count on the widget does not reflect the unread messages on whatsapp. Instead, it only shows the count of unread SMSs.
This is the major reason why I am staying away from Themer (which I don't wanna do!). Is this a common issue with everyone?
Themer Support, if this is an issue, is it being fixed?
Thanks

I know of no such launcher which supports badges on WhatsApp. AFAIK, there's no way to show unread message badge on the icon. Though you can use missedit for notification.

Hi AB256,
To be honest this is quite a difficult feat to achieve, even advanced launchers struggle to do this. However, with the advances of Zooper widget combined with Tasker it might be possible, but not anytime soon. Apologies for the inconvenience...

Still no way to do this ? I find this to be one of the very few things that themer falls short in ..

[Q] Messaging - default app and default sound

Hello,
I'd like to change the default sound for messaging and make it a different sound than the default notification sound. I thought there might be a way within the Verizon messaging but can't find it.
Also I can't figure out how to chance my default messaging app from Verizon to the standard one.

Found out how to switch messaging apps - settings, more... which lets me change the sound. I don't really care about how to do it in Verizon as I'll just keep the default messaging app instead of the Verizon one.
