Hey all,
Is there a way to disable the default (yellow box) sms notifications altogether but enable just the status bar preview?
I want to disable sms notifications because I feel the notification center lockscreen widget is more useful, but I also like reading sms from the status bar, whenever I am using the phone.
Do you guys know a way to accomplish this?

I've been looking to do the exact same thing, but it appears to be a limitation of the TouchWiz MMS application. Unless someone modifies it you would have to use another app to handle SMS/MMS.

Are you talking about the ugly notifications on the lockscreen? If so the only way I know how to get rid of it is if you are rooted. If you are rooted then go to /system/app and find KeyguardWidget.apk and just rename it to KeyguardWidget.apk.bak and that will get rid of the notifications. It will also get rid of the default lockscreen clock and personal message thing. You can still use other widgets on the lockscreen tho.

I just recently started hiding my notification bar with launcher pro and I noticed a weird bug with handcent SMS pop-up. When I go to do a quick reply the keyboard covers up the text box so I can't see what I'm typing. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

That is not a bug of LP.
Can't you disable the KB on the popups in HC? If the error is after you hit reply and bring up the KB, I'd be willing to bet that happens on ADW/TW too.

Basically I get a text and the window pops up. I tap in the quick response window and the KB pops up. When I have the status bar showing the quick response window moves up allowing me to see what I type. When I hide the status bar through LP settings the quick response window doesn't move up when the KB pops up. The issue only happens when I have the status bar is hidden.

I'm pretty sure that's a keyboard glitch. I also use Better Keyboard and get that on settings screens and such, but I use ADW. Although I also hide the status bar so maybe you're on to something.
So.... don't hide the status bar? Problem solved.
Well I've tried couple different keyboards and its the same with all of them. I like handcent for the custom notifications. I also like to hide my notification bar so maybe I'll let the dev of LP know about the bug.

I use SMS pop-up with adw and have not had this issue SMS pop-up also allows for custom tones for contacts. Hope that helps

This has been reported at handcent forum, although it happens whenever you receive a popup regardless of what app you're in, if the status bar is hidden (ie fullscreen browser, game, etc) so it being a LP issue doesn't look likely...
ive looked around a lot but havent found an answer yet, but sorry if it is a repost
anyways, i have been using handcent and i love it. but i was wondering if there was a way to also show the text message preview on the lock screen like the default messaging app does without turning on the default messaging's notifications.
or maybe there is something that allows handcent to have the pop up show ontop of the lock screen?
thanks
As far as i know handcent can't be used on the lockscreen. But handcent will cause a wake lock that bypasses the lockscreen if you answer the text quickly. Handcent is great. Its what i use.

what do you mean by wake lock?
currently what i did was enable the messaging app notifications to have it show on the lock screen but it still shows the icon in the notification bar. and if i turn off the handcent notifications, i cant get the popop.
the only nice thing is that you can use the messaging app notification and have it open in handcent, but i still want the popup after lock and during use.

The popup is the "lock screen" notification. Normally programs are not allowed to unlock the phone. They do it this way so that the first thing you see is the popup.
At least this is my understanding of it. To allow the text actually on the lockscreen would require lockscreen modification i believe.

i have galaxy s2 with 2.3.6.I want notifications to be seen on widgetlocker lockscreen but i can't.I just see them on status bar of the phone that is at the top.
Need your help
Open the WL settings by choosing WL from app drawer, then use settings capacitative button on phone. Go to "popups" & make sure you have untoggled "hide sms popups."
EDIT: Meant to say go to "settings/popups."

That won't solve his problem. All that does is place a WL icon on the notification bar. He wants popups, I think.

Hmm. I don't know. I would suggest using the "report bug" option in WL settings menu to email the dev. He has been very responsive to my problems in the past. Sorry I couldn't help you more.
Just looking @ my gosmspro settings and I see that I had to specifically enable popups. What notifications are you wanting that you are not getting?

I got the SGS2 yesterday as well and have the same issue. No popups when i get a Text.
I was hoping to get the Notifications Bar. I have the SGS 1 and in the widget lockscreen i can pull the Notifications Bar down but with the SGSII this is not the case at least not with a PIN. I like to have a PIN on the phone but still be able to do simple things like read text messages or change a song. The sense lockscreen can do this.
I don't get why samsung made there lockscreen so plane that if you enable PIN,Password/Pattern you can no longer side to go in to message or call log. Was hoping the Notifications Bar would be a good work around but no go
I'm a little confused, so does the S2 have popup notifications for sms? I never seen them just get them in the little status bar...
I am running UnNamed rom, and using WL. On the WL screen, I have placed a scrollable widget, "Call Log Scrollable," available on the Market. It works fine, updating on top of the WL screen. (You have to have scrollable widgets enabled, but you can do this with a launcher program like Launcher Pro, without having to root.) I also have no problem with SMS popups from my GoSMSpro text program. These are all easy to use, and may solve your problem. None of this requires root.

Thanks this is somewhat what i was looking for. I see it has a widget, I would love it add it to my lockscreen but its just to big. Is there some small only that does not have all the buttons similar to the iphone?
Also I see the popup, but if i don't do anything an the screen turns off and later turn on the screen the popup is gone yet when you unlock it it's on your homescreen this is kinda annoyng which is why i think a small widget just on the homescreen would be best or similar

You can resize any widget on WL by opening the WL app from the app drawer, which will bring up the WL screen. Long press on the widget and you will get a popup menu allowing you to resize it. Be sure you are setting the icons as "widgets" and not as "shortcuts."
Not sure what you mean by being able to see the popup. Isn't that what you wanted to begin with - to have an sms popup appear on the WL screen?
Here is a shot of my WL screen.
can try downloading sms unread count from the market. i use that for calls/sms notifications.

What happens is that when you have Go SMS Pro popups active, the popup will show up on top of WidgetLocker just fine.
However, if you are reading the popup on top of WidgetLocker, and the screen turns off in the middle of reading it, turning the screen back on (in order to read the rest of the text message) will cause the popup to disappear and to have WidgetLocker go back on top of the popup.
Then when you unlock WidgetLocker, the popup is on your homescreen. It gets to be quite annoying.
It seems that Widgetlocker allows the popup to be on top only once, but doesn't let it continue to be on top. I've emailed the dev of WidgetLocker regarding this issue but never heard a response.
Another quirk is when you read the Go SMS popup on top of WL, then try to touch "open" to open GoSMS, it doesn't open GoSMS but instead goes straight to the stock lockscreen (and not widgetlocker), at which point when you unlock it, it then goes to Go SMS.
You can modify the WL screen timeout to a different setting from the system screen timeout, using the WL settings menu.
As for me, I don't want someone to be able to access GoSMSPro w/out going thru my lockscreen. Personal preference, I guess.

a bit of necromancy, but I happen to have same problem as OP. got free version of NOVA launcher, and widget locker (phone is rooted, and root helper is enabled). still no missed call/messages notification on lock screen. I even downloaded Tesla Unread, activated through locker widget settings, and still no notifications.
I'd appreciate any advice!
Does anyone know a widget app that displays ALL the notifications from the status bar? It should include calls messages whatsapp messages downloads..everything..planning to use it for my widget locker locksreen..

So, a little while ago I had to reinstall the stock texting application and odex file on my s4. In doing so, I can send texts again like new but for some reason it's not displaying the notification for a message on the lockscreen.. (rectangle that says "New Message" that you click that takes you to the thread) I'm not sure why it's doing it. I have the notifications enabled and hangouts disabled. (turned off) The screen still lights up with a new text and vibrates and even has the status bar notification, just not lockscreen. If anyone can help me, that'd be awesome. Also, can we keep the bias 3rd party messaging opinions out? Thanks so much in advance!
What ROM are you running? Are you using a custom clock widget (like Dashclock, cLock, etc.) or do you have the stock Samsung clock?

Thats strange. try clearing data on messaging and then re-check preview message in messaging settings.
Yeah, I tried that.
So here's what I did to fix my issue,
1: I was running the build.prop hack for the s5 status bar. I returned to stock build.prop and did a battery grab reboot.
2: Not that it's relevant, but I cleared all data for Google play services.
3: *Important* I cleared my cache then all data for the Messaging app in settings. Reboot and reopen the app and it worked good as new. I hope this can help someone with the same issue.
