Use hangouts and led notifications - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I like to use hangouts but it appears that the notification led for missed messages only works with the stock sms app. Is there a fix for this without installing a third party app? Thanks.

Completely remove text messaging

What files would i need to remove to completly remove/disable the stock text messaging app? I found a vanilla one i like very much and i keep getting double texts in both. D:<

You can turn off notifications via going into the stock "text messaging" app through your apps list and then go into "messaging settings" and uncheck the "notifications - status bar" button.
Then you will only have your new text msg app notifying you.
It still shows up in the new messaging app.

You can delete it from /system/app via root-explorer or adb Or you can uninstall it using TitaniumBackup.
download the app rootuninstaller.
and then uninstall it.
I tried to use system app remover to remove messaging. I still get double texts in my vanilla message app.

last time i had this problem (double sms received). i re-flashed the rom.
btw, i wouldn't remove the stock messaging app through, i think the 3rd party sms apps actually use the system one for the actual work, they're more of a "front-end". just disable the notifications should be fine.
if you install another sms app and now actually receiving double sms (not just the notification), i think there's something else wrong...

Google Voice Integration App

I use google voice for texts a lot and stumbled upon an app that integrated google voice into the stock messaging application of the phone. This is not a standalone messaging application like "Google Voice + Messaging" app, but instead can set the stock app to use gvoice. For those who want to check it out here:

It works perfectly except one thing: For some reason I am not getting notification bar notification from the messaging application for new texts received. The texts themselves come in and can be viewed if you open the messaging application but it doesn't send the status bar notification. Can anyone try and confirm this or is it just me because I don't see it mentioned in reviews. As an alternative I just have the default gv app notify me and I use messaging app for actually sending.
The reason why you don't receive your notifications anymore is because of the Google Voice App update. Every time the GV app updates the integration app must be updated also. The developer just stopped. It sucks because it was an amazing application.
There's another one on the market that does the same thing also but it's a separate messaging app themed like the stock one.

Actually, the app works fine in Android 4.0 and 4.1. I have used this app a long time, and it quit displaying notifications with the 4.2 update. So I grabbed the mms.apk from 4.1 and it works fine again. Every time I update my ROM now, I replace mms.apk with the one from CM10 I keep in /sdcard and it works great.
Hey can you post that please

Guys I found this and can confirm that it works:

The only two things I miss are
1) The "read" button that the notification has with the new mms.apk (this one only has quick reply and call)
2) bubbles/quick emoticons since I previously used the mms.apk from here:

[Q] is there a way to get hangout on lockscreen like text?

Is there any way to get Google hangouts to pop up on the lockscreen when you get a text the same way the stock text message works? Like the circle with the message icon and number.

No one knows a mod?

I would also like to see this. Just updated to 4.3 on Verizon S3 and it doesn't work with Hangouts. The driving mode also doesn't read the text since it's in Hangouts.
Hangouts just began to be integrated with SMS... give it some time to make it the go-to feature for texting, etc. Until then, you have a bunch of apps that integrates fully into the original Messaging app like Halo, Popup Notifier, Textra, Handcent, and even Facebook Messenger. I'm sure Hangouts will reach this point but until then, try other apps.
Facebook messenger no longer does SMS AFAIK. That was taken out. Hangouts is cool, especially for group messaging, but I personally couldn't stand it being white. Luckily dark horse makes inverted apps.
One of my main gripes with hangouts as well as most other SMS apps is when your phone doesn't have service or in airplane mode...when you restore service the text messages you receive aren't timestamped properly. It stamps them like you just received them...and not when they actually were sent.

Install a 3rd party application to manage notifications and make sure you can enable notifications on the lock screen.

[Q] 3rd party SMS

good day, i tried using 3rd party sms apps on my zenfone 2 (2gb ze551ml variant) and it seems that i can't receive sms unless the 3rd party app is currently open. i have tried textra and google messenger, both can't receive sms unless they are open. any suggestions? thanks in advance
I have only used the stock sms app so far, so i'm not sure how well this will work.
Go to settings > more (under wireless and networks) > default sms app and choose your 3rd party app.

I use Hangouts and have no problem whether it is open or not.
I used textra and gosms both worked fine. Did you make them the default app for SMS and enabled notification. I did ran into problems with dual sim for both apps.

Messenger app.

Can anyone recommend a text messaging app that supports picture messages on Android wear and supports individualized notifications for texts on your phone?
Thanks Jason

Textra works too. You can also view the whole thread as well.

How do you set different notification sounds for different contacts with Google messenger?
