I am using Light Flow and I noticed one of the settings allows you to have contact-based access to gmail but you need a modified gmail app to use it. Where do I find the modified gmail app? My phone is rooted and I am running Codename Android.
Thanks!
You can just click the 'add' button in the notification window and it seems to jump to contacts. Never bothered to look much tbh as I just use Light Flow for apps but it might just work...
EDIT: Had a quick look, it gives options for SMS, MMS and missed calls for a specific contact

Under Light Flow settings, there is a "Modified Gmail app" option. If you select this, then in addition to picking contact-specific notifications for SMS, MMS and missed calls, you can also set up contact specific notifications for email addresses. I tried this and unfortunately it does not work. I assume this is because I do not have the "Modified" version of Gmail.
Anyone know what Light Flow is referring to when they reference Modified Gmail App??

I have handcent (which I prefer to the standard HTC text) but whenever I receive a text I get alerts for both the HTC text AND Handcent. So I have to open them both in order to clear the notification bar. I've been looking for ages to find a way of disabling the HTC text but can't find anything.
Also I have a virtually identical problem with emails. whenever I receive email to my Gmail account, I receive two notifications, one for Googlemail and one for Mail. Again, I have to open them both in order to clear the notification bar.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

you don't need to open the message, just scroll down (pull down) the notification bar and on the top right it should say "Clear" and that will get rid of any notifications you have got exept for music when its playing or any other program you've got running that has an icon on the notification bar..
hope this helps!

Switch off notifications in the "Messages" app (within app untick Menu->Settings->Received Notification")
Switch off notifications in one of "Gmail" or "Mail" (similarly can be done via settings in Gmail/Mail.)

Dave
Thanks for that, I have actually done so but I still have a problem when receiving texts. When a text comes in, I'm presented with the text displayed in the stock messaging box, I have to close that and open handcent to reply - which is quite annoying.
Any thoughts?

This is the answer because that's exactly what myself and many others have done. I can tell you that it works.
You must have unchecked the wrong options.

When you say the "stock messaging box", are you referring to the HTC widget? If so, you need to remove this. Also, have you ticked "Enable popup" in Handcent's notification settings?

I'm using incrom 1.2 and can't find a way to hide texts from showing up in the notification bar. I had it set to only show a generic message on a few other roms but having no luck on this one. Any ideas

Assuming you are talking about making text messages not show up in the notification bar, go to the messaging app, then press Menu, then settings and there should be an option somewhere in there

Yes just go to messaging > settings > and turn off notifications
the only problem with doing this is that you get no notification at all. i would like to hear the sound or vibration or however i have it set, i just dont want it show it on in the notification bar.
You'll need an app to do this, it's not built into the ROM.
Try out MyCalculator in the Market. There's a free version, works great and you can setup virtual SMS messages for certain contacts. When a selected contact send you a SMS or MMS, you'll get a notification but you can control the text and icon that show up.
There are others as well. Maybe check out Handcent?
so i want to send a SMS to a group of people (broadcasting a party to a bunch of family and friends)
however i cant seem to be able to do it....
here are the steps i take.
open Messaging app
compose message (top right button)
then click on the "People" icon on the top right and start selecting people i want to send the message to and click ok....
at this point the "To" box is empty? how can i fix this?
also i quite often have the "notification" LED flashing even when i have no notifications. i use "Light Flow" and im not sure what i can do to fix that issue.... (i have all my light flow options so that it doesnt look like the regular notification flash but its the regular notification flash that i keep getting :S )
thanks in advanced
Currently, when I receive a new email, voicemail or text message, my sound notification whistles (yes, I missed the whistle so I added the sound back to this ROM). However, the sound notification does not work for my second and third email. The notification only works when the first has been cleared. How do I change this behavior so it notifies me for every notification every single time?

I'm going to assume you are using the Gmail app. If not, these instructions shouldn't be too much different for the default mail app.
Open Gmail
Go to Settings
Select your account
Select "Ringtone and Vibrate"
Uncheck "Notify Once"
FYI, this is not AOKP specific, this has been the case with the Gmail app for along time.

You're a wizard! Thank you so much. If you were a hot girl I would totally f**ck you. <3
I got my phone flashed to pageplus, it is a sprint s3. Now, the guy who did it downloaded verizon messaging, but the app itself doesn't give me notifications and the messaging that came on the s3 still does, but i cannot do picture messaging unless it's through verizon messaging. The problem is that I get no notifications.
Also, I speak japanese and have a simple keyboard that uses the long press for "Input" and the s3 doesn't do this or is it something I have to turn on? Can anyone shed some light for me?

your apn setting for mms aren't correct, not sure how to configure them without third party messaging app. they also normally require a pro version to get notification icons. mms apn setting here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051415 try go sms, or textsecure which has mms apn options. also when you select the text box, input options are now available within the pull down notification bar and no longer by a long press. hope this helps
