Does anyone know how to get the number of messages to show next to the contact's name in the stock SMS/MMS app? Thanks in advance.

I do not see an option for it, which leads me to believe that you will have to use a 3rd party SMS app if you want that feature.
Hey! try usin go sms or handcent sms from the market!
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
I would defiantly give handcent a go its got some pretty good extras also like multicoloured notification LED light depending on event and also you can show a SMS when the screen is locked for quick reply.
Well that's the thing, I meant without a third-party app, like it is on stock Android. I've had Go SMS, but I prefer to have notification icons that actually match with the app, I guess.

Is there an SMS app here or on the market that I'm able to do the following.
is there a way to block / hide a specific person from texting u on the stock message app or on the market, like let's say I received a text from someone and than I don't want it to be shown on my stock app but on another sms app that i can only view with a password or etc..I only need one person not to be shown at all but all other text could come on the stock message app...the reason I ask its because I have a work phone n its suppost to be work only but sometimes I use it for personal reasons and than my boss gets in a habit of checking our phones that we are only using the phone work related.
Thanks

I think Call Master, which is in beta, does that.
Shady SMS is what I use. I absolutely love it. Hides their MMS as well.

Private SMS MMS box works too...it doesn't show up in your app drawer and you can set a custom notification icon and / or text notification... You use your dialer to enter your password...

I hate how my screen turns on when I receive an sms message. I only need the notification icon in the taskbar and the led blink and if I disable the notifications from the settings the screen does not open but I loose the other notifications as well. Any ways to fix this?

interested in that too
Don't know if it's possible with the stock app, however if you're willing to use a 3rd party app, Go SMS does have an option to keep the screen off and quite possibly other apps do too.

switch to HANDCENT SMS, it is the best sms app, i am using it for a year now. Go to setting and disable pop-up. Now when you receive a message, it will vibrate, led will blink, but screen will not turn on. You will ses the message in the notification bar.

That's what I'm using right now but I want to minimize the use of third party apps as much as possible . Plus with handcent sms when I send a picture or video it doesn't work. I have to use the regular messaging app in order for my mms to leave successfully .

Still no solution for this one. I don't want to use handcent or go sms for two reasons. First I like the simplicity if the stock samsung app and second I use the direct call feature that only works with stock app. There must be a way to hack the default messaging app to stock opening the screen when receiving a message.

BUMP. This feature is sooooo annoying!!!!
It irritates me also. I've used Handcent on every device in the past, but I don't want to for some reason on this one. I actually rather like the stock messaging app.
I suppose I'll go back to Handcent. The screen on is annoying, plus it creates a temporary wakelock that drains the battery even more.

Is it possible to hide the contents of a text message in the notification bar. In other words still notify me of the text, but not the actual text message? Yes i know 3 rd party sms apps can do this, but is it possible on the stock app?

Unfortunately not. There were not settings for this in either GB or ICS that I am aware of. Mildly frustrating not to have the option.Your only choice would be 3rd party messaging (which I personally hate ) or disabling notifications completely... Although, perhaps you could look for an alternative SMS notification app? I'm fairly certain you could find a good one. Although, that isn't stock either, but certainly better than a new texting app.

Thanks for the help. I don't like 3rd party sms apps either so I guess i'll just have to deal with it.

GO SMS has the feature, but that app is now just plainly sucks. Too many advertisement, too many updates and no good free themes
My stock app only shows the notification after the txt comes in, yes it scrolls thru the msg as it arrives, but if the phone is off i can't see anything. Stock .215 XT912

Is there any reason why you dont want to use a 3rd party app? I use handcent and personally have no use for the stock messaging app. of course its a matter of personal opinion. I like the fact with handcent I can get the message to pop up and I can reply without having to unlock the screen. also I can disable notifications. :good:
One big change that I noticed on the GE 4.3 was the addition of the emoji keyboard, so I extracted it and put it into my system/app (with the necessary permission (rw/r/r) changes of course!) and tried it out, here it is in case anyone else would like it. Android users are finally able to use Emoji on twitter/Instagram/facebook!
EDIT: Doesn't seem to like Touchwiz or 4.2.2, force closes continuously.
EDIT2: for a working flashable zip check eortizr's post below (post #8 ) be sure and thank him!
Doesn't like CM 10.1 either on ATTS4

Maybr it also requires some libs? If its working on google edition rom than id say its just missing some libs
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
It seems to work flawlessly in my sgs4, the libs you need is called "libemoji.so" or "libwnn.so" in system/lib.
You cand find it in some thread in the forums, i had it since the first version of jellybean.
The problem I found is that the keyboard doesn't display the emojis, I don't know why, because we have the emoji font already.
Good luck and see a preview

Maybe it requires some frameworks to detect the emoji font in system, but anyways, the new emoji keyboard works very well in my phone.
You can use it on whatsapp for example, but you can't see the emojis you tap in the keyboard.
Well emoji is working good with just the apk and lib...However, its still a hassle to use as you have to enable it under settings, and once enabled you have no access to regular keyboards...now im assuming the google keyboard from 4.3 leak has a shortcut to the emojis however im having dificulty getting it to work on the stock rom, it doesnt seem to want to load when enabled and also causes massive lag throughout the system when enabled...tomorrow ill get a logcat to see what im missing...and hopefully im not wasting my time
Edit: if I cam figure this out I will create a flashable zip for users

Maybe im missing something....the emoji part works as did my other emoji keyboard from 4.3...but what I want is a normal keybiard that has a shortcut to the emojis on the keyboard...that way I dont have to go into my setting every time I want to use an emoji.
Now in the zip I noticed it does have "iWnnIME_Kbd_White.apk" and " iWnnIME.apk" the second is the emoji keyboard...the first looks like its supposed to be a regular keyboard, however it never pops up in my settings as an input method...for you does this install a regular keyboard as well? Or do you also have to go into settings everytime to use the emojis...
Was able to figure out a work around by installing the Google keyboard from the market, deleting all other keyboards including Samsung's and swype, then under settings of both googles and the emoji keyboard check the option "switch to other input methods" this places a new key next to the space bar that when pressed switches to a different input method...you can long press it to select a diff one or just quick press it and it will switch to the next one...by deleting all other keyboards I only have one other keyboard so it by default it just switches between the Google keyboard and emoji now

I found an easy fix to view emoji on my Samsung 4. I changed the font back to default or samsung sans in settings. I can now view black and white emoji. ?
Waiting patiently for colored emoji view with any font in any program.

I've tried this as well as Kii keyboard + emoji plug in. I've always been able to see emojis and wants to be able to use them in texts too.
It seems though that the recipients are unable to see them. They just get question marks. This has been for ios users and android users I text.
Is anyone able to confirm that others can see the emojis when sent?

I still can't see emojis in keyboard or interface, I only can see some symbols and squares. What could be my problem??
Can I check whether you're sure that you extracted this iWnnIME.apk from the system apps in Android 4.3?
Reason why I'm asking is that iWnn IME is actually a 3rd party IME that's available in Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime.ml.sc04d&hl=en). I find it difficult to believe that Google would include it as a bundled IME in their factory images.
Can you verify this? Thank you.
