[Q] Stock Messaging App Settings - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello,
I currently like the way the stock messaging app is, and have been unsatisfied with Handcent and GoSMS. My only only gripe is how the screen turns on when a SMS is received. I installed FreeGS3 and was moderately satisfied with it, however once it came to phone calls I had an echo of myself through my speaker, despite whether or not I have a headset plugged in or a bluetooth headset. So I reverted to stock again, but really like the SMS options that they had in FreeGS3. I'm not here to fix the echo, so please do not bother, I am not a noobie but this is the first post I've ever done on XDA as I am not a big question asker. I generally figure things out on my own but am stumped.
I tried installing the FreeGS3 messaging app (SecMMS.app) and it does not show the advanced options that show up in FreeGS3. Is there any way to stop the screen from turning on on stock [rooted] when I receive an SMS? Obviously the makers of FreeGS3 managed to implement that setting in the messaging app, so did I copy the wrong app?
Thank you!

That's the exact option that I'm looking for, however it is not in stock Sprint, as indicated in my screenshot here:
I know FreeGS3 by Team Sonic added it back somehow.

Any updates as to unlocking that setting in the app?
[awaiting my minimum post count to ask the teamsonic developers how they modded the stock app]

You might be able to just replacd your mms.apk with the other one that has that feature...might work, might not

[Q] Jedi Mind Trick v9 - BLN Service?

I can't seem to get the BLN service to work. I've tried both BLN and NSTools and nothing seems to work. I also tried to flash the Hercules kernel to it thinking maybe it had an older version in the rom but still the same issue. Any suggestions great appreciated.
Thanks.

Have you tried BLN control from the playstore. I recommend the paid version, it has an option to blink.

It won't blink, unless its the paid version. If not, the backlights turn on with a notification, and stay on, till you check your message, or set a time limit.

Well that is what I'm trying to say. The backlights never turn on when I should have a notification...
OK I just got BLN Control Pro. When I test it it works. It only seems to notify on a missed call and not when I get an email. Any way to change this?
Am I the only one having issues with BLN and email or SMS notification lights?

Email should work, but if youre using the stock SMS app, it wont. That requires a tweak to the stock messaging apk. The free version of BLN worked for me just fine on JMT v9 when I was on it.
Working for me with the e-mail, but have to find a workaround because it wasn't working with the stock sms app. I D/L SMS Popup from the market. You gonna have to disable the notifications in your SMS APP and enable in SMS Popup, you can also enable or disable the popup notification if u want it or not... OR just change your SMS APP like Handcent SMS or GOsms, but i like the stock one and wanted to stick with it!!!
For your e-mails, is your notifications are enabled ???? you can also try third party app... I've read a lot about this BLN Mod and it's always a matters of screen turning on or not when notifications are coming.
I have notifications turned on for the status bar. When an email comes in I hear the sound and I get the notification... just no BLN. I'm going to backup and reflash JMT9 and see what it does on a clean slate.
Well just did a clean install and install BLN then setup my email and still the same issue. I'm at a loss at this point. This is a Microsoft Exchange email account that I'm setting up if it makes any difference.

im sure somebody will make a mode for it, but for the time being, u can use gosms pro as default sms app, it has the option to turn off screen notifications and you can back up and restore ur sms too....if you gonna use go sms, just disable stock messaging app and its notifications.
+1 for this mod.
Will look into it

Vibration for notifications

I searched and could not find anything regarding changing the vibration pattern for an all stock note 2. Mine will only vibrate in a single long pattern, no matter what I set it to in the settings. I like to use the stock messaging because it's compatibility with the lock screen but I'd really like it to vibrate in a couple short pulses instead of that single long one. If I'm missing something I apologize but I have no idea what to change aside from the options in the settings menu. Any help or other information would be much appreciated, I'm sure it's something silly I'm missing anyway!
Go to settings- sounds-device vibration u can chabge it to a few different patterns

I am not sure! That is how the note 1 default notification vibrate was, the single long pulse. The sms mms one was a quick twin pulse, I'd prefer that! I like how the sms app works with the tw lock screen and launcher etc so I don't want to use another one if I can avoid it. I wish it would allow me to use a different vibration setting because my phone is silent a lot! I asked samsung and they gave me the ringtone answer. The service from the online chat is weak.

An app called lite flow will do exactly that.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I downloaded the app and tried to set it up but it wanted to stop air view in the process. A related application was there

Which worked perfectly. Thanks foe the heads up, much appreciated.

[Q] Messaging notifications

Is there a way to assign different notification sounds to individual contacts? I have the stock messaging app. Maybe through another app?
I use Handcent, which gives you full capability to customize notifications based on contact. I tend to have my phone on vibrate only most of the time, but I customized the vibrate pattern for a couple key people, for example.

Anyone ever notice if you just swipe away a new txt message in the dropdown, within a few minutes you get the same notification? You always have to open the txt message, then jump back out. I find this a pain since it tells you in the notification almost all message txt anyway. Does anyone else have this issue?

I thought so. Had a similar problem once. Just stopped randomly on a new flash of a ROM.

SMS & screen on

Can someone tell me if there is a way to stop the screen from turning on when I get an SMS as well as stopping the SMS from appearing on the lock screen? It's very annoying and I'm sure over time it cuts into battery life.
Thanks.
Msg. Setting.

Settings in message app and uncheck preview message.
Theres no way to prevent the screen from waking i dont think...custom roms only.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the replies. I'll have to wait for a ROM then.
Thanks again.
Problem is with preview unchecked you still get a box on your lock screen minus the text info. I believe it just says "message".

chomp
use chomp sms. its quite fast, more customizable than the stock messaging app and actually has an option from preventing the screen wake. i cant say for the other sms applications though, but chomp is good
I have been using Go SMS for years. I really like the customization and settings. You can turn off stock notifications and eliminate the screen wake issue.
