[Q] [App Request] Text Response Overlay? (MIUI style?)

Basically I'm looking for an app that works the way MIUI handles receiving a new message. For those who don't know it goes as follows:
Instead of just displaying an icon notification MIUI actually visually shows you the entire message with the text box underneath, tapping the text box makes my keyboard come up allowing me to respond immediately all while still seeing what was happening prior to the text coming in the background. Once i hit send the message goes away and i'm back to whatever i was doing. (even though i never left and could see it the whole time)
Whats so great about this?
I don't have to pull down the notification tab, select the message, wait for it to open, respond, then hit back until hopefully back to where i left off.
Its all done over top of what i was doing seamlessly.
Is there an app like this for when i may want to try something other then MIUI? If not, someone needs to really make this.
EDIT :
great suggestions given and listed below.

had it for a bit, it would display a pop up notification, but when i hit reply it would take me to go sms messaging app and out of what i was doing. Once i was done with sending the message i'd still have to exit out of the convo thread and the messaging app itself to get back to where i was.
Not quite what i'm looking for.

I use this the way you described in the OP. I answer directly in the popup, and hitting "Send" just sends the message, and closes the popup. Unless I've received multiple messages in which case I can answer them all one by one. I can also scroll this popup to read the individual messages. I urge you to try again.

thanks for all the suggestions guys!
although i would like to continue using the standard messaging app and not move to a new one.
Regardless i will update the first post with links to your suggestions

[Q] missing notification vibrations

Hi there,
I have a problem with my notification vibrations. When I receive a call the phone vibrates as expected, but when I receive a text message or an e-mail there is no vibration, though configured...
I have the out-of-the Box Android 4.0.1 (the OTA update did not arrive yet :-/ ). The acoustic notifications are set to silent mode. In text messages settings as well as e-Mail settings the vibrate setting is always.
Has anybody a hint what I could try to get vibrations working for Text messages and e-mails?
regards

Click on your SMS icon then go into settings there and go all the way to the bottom and make sure it's set to always vibrate

I also tried the vibrate only if silent setting without any success...

Don't know if it would matter but after setting it to always have you rebooted your phone

just tried it; without success

Try downloading an app that lets you assign custom vibrate pattens to notifications and see if it works then

I'm having the same problem with my CDMA on a deodexed but otherwise stock 4.0.2.
It seems to be an issue (for me at least) with the Google Apps. GTalk, GMail and Google Voice Texts aren't setting the vibration when anything new arrives.
Sorry, I have nothing positive to add other than: "Me Too!"
Viel Glück

If you have lightflow installed, it can override the notification settings, make sure(if you have it) that vibration is enabled for sms
if you don't, well I see no reason not to have it its just great!

I haven't installed lightflow. I tryed installing custom vibes und set a custom vibration for an sms contact. unfortunately it still does not work :-/
Does anybody know how to contact samsung/google support? On the Samsung side I cannot choose the GI-I9250 as model and on the google side all contact links are linking to all but a mail adress or contact form

problem kind of fixed
Hello everybody,
just for the files. My final solution was a hard reset of the device. right now the vibrations are working...
Actually I was not able to figure out whick App was causing the problems...

You can "star" messages that are important and can view only those threads if you choose.

I don't see any way to do that and besides, that icon has come and gone a few times with no new text activity at all.

I am doing some things on CM7 so can't check it at the moment. Is it possible that it either shows who was the last to respond? In otherwords you never responded or something like that.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

That is because that contact is using google talk. you have that persons phone number and gTalk email address linked in your contacts so their status from google talk will appear in the stock messaging app.
That was a long winded answer lol.
More Info:
that icon represents the user has been idle for awhile. A green dot means active.

You are on to something. The user with that icon has a linked google+ account, and when I go to his gmail contact info on my PC that same icon appears next to his email address. So if I understand, it has something to do with whether he is available on gtalk. The clock means he's available but idle, a green dot means active.
Thanks.

Ok Google sms messages fail to send.

I've had this problem for a while and I i can't actually recall if it ever worked. Now with a Android Wear watch the issue is extremely noticeable since it hinders the use of one of its main features.
I have OK google from any screen and even when locked but for some reason when i tell it to send an sms it will do it BUT the recipient never receives it.
It creates the sms on my phone but the recipient never gets it.
Maybe its my texting app but i have used Stock, Google, Hangouts, Textra. None of them seem to send through the "OK google command."
Any one able to offer some insight on this issue?
If some one has it working on their note maybe list what sms app you are using.
update: When I use google now it appears to be sending to the right number but it has a "011" in front of it which is why it isnt working.

I've tried almost all...
Verizon message+ works the best sms and mms. hands down

Your saying that when you say "OK google > Text my xxx > Hello" that it actually sends no issue? I've been using message+ for a month now and it has never worked with Google Now/ Ok Google command.

yes

Do you have the default samsung messages disabled or is it still there?

yes I have it frozen

I have reinstalled Google search, android wear, play services, reset my watch.
I have deleted all of my other texting apps except messages+. I have also disabled the default Samsung sms app.
Will still nothing works. The text shows up as sent but nothing is actually sent.
I think it may have to do with the default settings but my messaging app is not listed because when I chose Google voice it did send via Google voice. When I chose messaging it said it sent but it never did.

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I'm having the exact same issue on my Galaxy S5 and it's driving me crazy.

I'm having a similar problem with my moto 360 and Note 4 DE.
What is kind of weird is I can send my friend (or myself) a message from my watch to their Iphone, but I can't send my wife a message on her S4. I noticed she just received an update not too long ago and was thinking the problem was somehow with her phone or newer version of android wear. However, I am curious to see what people find out.
Edit: I further thought it was my wife's phone as she has had problems lately of sending double text and her sent text showing up after she recieves a reply. In case any one is wondering her phone is a stock Verizon Galaxy S4.
FYI I am using Google Messenger.

HTC messages - no text

Hello,
I tried to use HTC messages today and for some reason when I type the text doesn't show in the dialog box neither in the conversation.
Emojis and attachments such as picture show but that's it.
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks,

try an alternate sms app to see if its an issue with htc messaging app or not.

All other SMS apps work fine.
I tried putting a wallpaper, uninstalling the updates from the app, clearing the cache.
Since it's a system app I can't clear the data...
None of those fixed the issue. I can see the text in the title but if I open the conversation I only see the time stamp with empty message thread.
Any idea on how to force a clear data on the HTC messages app?

delete it from system, and re-flash it?
could it be a theme issue?

I thought. Messing with the font size in the app fixed the issue!
