Text Message Wake Up Screen? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi, I just flashed CM9 and I'm loving it.
The only thing I miss though is the feature
when you had a new text message, it woke up your screen.
Is that possible with CM9& the stock messaging app?
Is there some kind of mod or modded mms.apk or
something that when you get a new message, your screen will light up?
I apreciate the help, but No, I don't want a Third Party SMS app.
I'd like to keep it stock so no "GO SMS, CHOMP, HANDCENT", etc!
Thank you so much!

I would actually suggest a third party messaging app such as gosms pro.
*Very Nice and Extensive List of Features
*Themes
*Private inbox (password protected)
*Emoji plugin for iPhone emotions
And more.
I used to not like third party messaging apps but this one is very well developed.
Btw I do not I'm any way represent the go developers I just like their app

Thank you so much for the reply! But the only reason I flashed this ROM and rooted my phone was to have the stock ics Messaging app. Its so clean and sleek looking! Thank you for your suggestion though.

SMS pop up isn't a messaging app. Its an add on for your stock sms app

Yeah, I know I was talking about GOSMS. But I installed the one you recommended. I loved it, until I found out that unlocks your screen too. So when it's in my pocket, I can easily butt dial people mess with my phone accidentally. I would re-install that app if it didn't unlock your phone for you. I guess there is just no place like stock. I will be unrooting and going back to ics touchwiz tonight :[

Its works, but if you have BLN, it interferes with it. BLN won't come on if installed.

I'm using cm10, aug22 nightly and tried both applications. they both worked only when the phone is not on silent. but what i really wanted was the screen to turn on when in silent mode. it'll be really useful especially if you don't want the phone to ring or vibrate, yet you want to know that a text came in just by seeing the screen turn on. i'm also using a galaxy s, so i don't have led lights. any other apps i could try?

Thanks, I've tried that, and it works for everything except when my phone is in silent mode... which is the only thing I need. I just need my screen to turn on when I get a text, using jelly bean's stock sms app.

Which Messaging app do you use?

I was just wondering what Messaging app do you guys use? I did a fresh install of Skyraider 3.5 and am now using the stock HTC app. I like how simple it is, but I don't like the profile pictures. Since I don't link my contacts, all the pictures are just stock gray and that kind of gets annoying. I've been a longtime Handcent user though.

I was a handcent user from the get go; however, with my phone it was laggy and would not pop up right away when i open it and saw delays, etc. In a nutshell it was sluggish.
That's when I tried chompsms. The 2 are as we all know, very similar. However, I have come to like chomp as it is faster on my phone and loads my convo's which are extremely lengthy very quickly and there is no delay.
I like both, however chomp works much better on my phone.
Handcent with Swiftkey. Haven't used anything other than Handcent and the stock messaging app, and I have no interest in switching to anything else.
I used to use handcent, now I pretty much just stick with the stock. No real reason, does what I need it to do, send SMS/MMS.
I use GO Sms. I like it more than Handcent. The problem is that it needs to work with the stock messaging app(which kinda sucks.)

I use handcent because it splits threads for me so I can send my 1000 character texts without a problem and anyone ccan get them.

I use stock with sms popup for the same reason I don't use Sense roms- I don't need 2 facebook apps, 2 twitter apps, 2 sms apps, etc.
I have always liked handcent.
Chomp here. Love it. No reason to change.

I use Handcent also, it has a lot of great features... But, lately I have noticed that it hasn't been playing my MMS videos or the sounds attached them (qcp) ? I am using cm7 mod build #17 with the stock kernal, all data has been wiped all cache wiped then flashed... any thoughts ?
Handcent, works perfect on stock rom / rooted.
Super fast and love the black background and the fact that it will give super long texts when it splits up into multiples on others stock app.
I do believe that's a rom issue.

Handcent!

Handcent just because it's so easily customizable.
I had always felt like my Handcent pop up messages were delayed. Phone would ring, screen turn on then a second or 2 later the popup would appear.
Since installing CM7 though, it has been instant, no delay between ring and message popup. Not sure if this was fixed in Handcent or not, but either way, CM7 is amazing
used handcent for awhile but now I just use the stock miui app
Stock with SMS Popup. Handcent makes me feel like im using an iPhone. If I wanted to use an iPhone I would of bought one.

Amen! It's amazing (dare is say...Incredible?) how long my battery lasts now that I am not using 2 apps that do the same general function as 1 app. Just plain stupid.
Stock HTC Messaging for me. On AOSP roms, I use Handcent. I haven't tried Chomp or GO SMS or any of the others.
I switch between the stock htc one and Go SMS

[ROM]3.25.2011 Continuum Clean (In Progress)

Ok, so normally I hate placeholders, but I'd like to give you guys an update of where I am at. Once I am finished tweaking, I will release. The base rom is done, now the modding and tweaking needs to happen.
So far:
--------------
Deodexed, Debloated, Debinged, and mostly, detouchwizzed. Debinged...even in the framework. I think* all Bing traces are gone now.
Visual voice mail gone, voice mail button in dialer opens Google Voice.
Verizon Wireless carrier banner replaced with something....better.
MMS app will not longer do multi-part messages, but instead convert to MMS automatically once the 160 character mark is hit.
GPS tweaked.
Wow in one day of having the phone you have a rom halfway competed

Wow, I can't wait for this even though we have had bad experiences with place holders, I know this isn't the case lol..
I don't know how many times I'm going to say thank you, but here is another thanks!
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA Premium App
along the lines of changes to the voicemail button.....it would be awesome if the ticker's voicemail icon could correspond to Google Voice...but I am sure that is a lot more involved than changing the button's link in the Dialer.
a similar desire exists for the sms icon to correspond to Handcent
I used titanium backup to remove the stock messaging app and that killed the ticker's SMS icon functionality....I saved the stock app to reinstall but that introduces a different problem....the ticker icon doesn't go away reliably after having read the text in Handcent.
maybe this thread wasn't intended for our wish list items.....if that is the case, I apologize.
thanks for your help to our little Continuum family!
thanks for the help here adryn! my wife has the continuum, and i got hers to load red recovery, and the other modded rom.
question on this rom you are building..will it have the bstats and fxpms scripts? are the ones for fascinate compatable with contunuum?

curious (warning - n00b question) - would it be possible to make the GV VM connection optional for those of us who don't use GV?
Also, what do you mean by GPS tweaked? The only thing i've noticed about mine is when i'm out geocaching with c:geo or using google maps to navigate while walking, sometimes the compass seems to be off by 180 degrees. when driving, google nav seems fine - likely since it can figure out direction based on previous locations in the same way it figures speed, but i don't walk fast enough for it to figure out direction - especially when geocaching since i'm always stopping to look for the cache.
all told - that's pretty impressive that you knocked out so much stuff in the short time you have had the phone! Thanks for your help with this device!
Any chance you have cracked open the ticker, or at least made it more useful to people who don't use the stock apps (that is... EVERYONE)?
One suggestion i saw somewhere (probably here) really interested me - put the notification area in the ticker screen and make it big enough to fill it, so you dont' have to try and hook into their custom ticker app - just use the existing system one, only relocated/resized. that way all system notifications (no matter what app they're from) will be visible in the ticker, all the time, as well as the time of day, and apps won't have to be custom-written to take advantage of the ticker; they'd just WORK.
I just can't wait till it is out I am looking forward to it

shoot - as long as it doesn't affect anything else, i'd take that over the annoying, noisy crap vzw put on there. is the shutdown screen also black/silent?
I don't have the phone right here handy atm but, I've already downloaded the Rom and alt browser. looking forward to flashing it to my boy's phone! I know he'll be happy too. One thing I love about these Android phones is how they give us the ability to have that "new phone" feeling any time we like, thanks to their rich development community. This is one thing the Continuum crowd has missed out on until now.

Picture in Video Form

Why do pictures become videos in the messaging system? Is there any way to change this? Thank you in advance.
I'd like to know a solution to this too. One that doesn't involve rooting or installing handcent/go sms/any other 3rd party messaging app.
I believe this cannot be changed. It has been like this on any smartphone I've had (lots of them)

Yeah its really annoying feature in the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II. The only solution that im aware is using another Messaging App
I'm using Go SMS Pro and its very handing... I definitely suggested over any other 3rd party Messaging App

I've had a few and seen plenty of phones without it. This is a new "feature" to me.
The original Mytouch 4G had this same issue before they rolled out the update (which included a fix for this issue), but since we've already received the update to 2.3.6 on the SGS2 our only hope is ICS if we want to continue using the stock messaging app.. which I happen to prefer.. so yeah I'll just deal with it until ICS.

[Q] Replacing Sense MMS.APK

Hi all,
My phone is rooted. Not a fan of the Sense 4.0 SMS/MMS app. I know I can download the default ICS 4.0.3 MMS.apk from the market.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.mms.com.android.mms
When I go to install it, it says it will overwrite the existing application. Before I get reckless...
Couple questions:
- Why is there no existing mms.apk in /system/app ? I can't find it. Does HTC call it something different or...?
- How do I backup the current Sense version in case I screw this up and need to restore it?
- Is the Sense one tightly integrated into the rest of Sense? Will it break other apps, widgets...?
So far I got this working.
1. installed stock ICS SMS from market
2. backed up and removed /system/app/Message+CRC_1.apk
3. rebooted phone
Haven't tested MMS nor any sense features that might bomb (I hope not)
I'll update thread if there are any problems and I need to roll this back
Any Update
Hey. Just wondering if you had any update on how this worked? Everything still fine? I want to go to the ICS MMS app, cause the sense one isn't as nice.

I use it daily, the SMS app works perfectly. Love this change.
The HTC SMS widgets that display your messages on your desktop may not work (don't think mine do) but this is easily remedied by just finding other widgets in the market etc. Just don't put the default HTC ones on your desktop.
Won't uninstalling the app just automatically put stock sense app back in there?

No. The stock ICS app does not play nice with the stock Sense app, you can't have them both on the phone at the same time. Its not like when you install GOSMS or something.
I had to actually delete the sense app right off the phone completely for it to work properly. Otherwise I had strange problems such as messages being sent twice.
Since I physically deleted the sense app there is no going back without re-installing the sense APK.
Did you save the stock apk? No joke one of my hesitations is the messaging app. If I can switch to stock ICS for messaging I may be ordering mine yet tonight.

Honestly no why would i? I updated this post to be kind but I'm not building something here, this was for my own use and it works perfectly. I'd that's not what you're looking to hear, find another thread. I won't lose sleep at night.
As for backing up the original sense app, yes I did see step 2 above. I used adb for this just pull the file.
Again this works perfectly If anyone cares to try it. nothin to lose, if you don't like it just put the sense file back and reboot.
I installed both the calendar and the sms app today and they seem to work fine. Haven't tried mms. Haven't uninstalled anything yet, will see if I run into trouble. Thanks for posting readk, been searching for this but didn't find it until now
EDIT: Ran into problems immediately of course where pressing the Messaging app launched the HTC Messages app. Following your instructions for backup and removal seems to have done the trick though. Next step will be to do the same for the calendar

Wow, get out of the basement once in a while and realize how to communicate with humans. I simply really liked the idea of stock ICS messaging on the HOX and since I don't have mine yet I was just asking to see it because I imagine it would look really awesome. Why would you? I guess since you were sharing what you were doing I thought you wouldn't mind. Guess not.

I asked the same thing and haven't had luck yet. SMS works fine, but MMS won't work. I've tried about 5 different versions all with the same result. One member on the IRC mentioned I needed to change the APN settings, but it seems to be a hidden menu and I didn't want to dig to deeply and break my MMS for good or something. So, I'm using GO SMS since I can't stand the cursor bug.
Keep praying to the XDA Gods that AOSP/CM10.1 ROMS are coming soon.
Man I can't wait for cm bro. Can't come soon enough
I'm curious to find out if this would work too, I hate the vibrate patterns that LG has created for SMS
