So I've been playing with a few apps which show your text messages and calender on the lock screen, and the one i found that was good is "Executive Assistant"
Problem is, it drains battery like a mofo (at one point it was using 40% of battery usage...)
are there any more battery efficient ways to get calender, missed calls, and text messages to show up on lock screen? im on 2.1
I use a combination of Sms unread count and smooth calendar, set up to show only the day's events; Works like a charm. Now if I could only find a way to make sms uread count work with Go sms, life would be sweet.

If you go into manage apps and clear defaults for your stock messaging app then the next time you hit the sms unread icon it should ask you which app you want it to open, worked for me

I tried that but it didn't work on my DHD.
I have widetlocker which replaces the stock lock screen. From there you can place just about any widget you want on there.

I've searched but have found nothing.
Is there an app that will allow you to assign different notifications based on who is sending you a SMS?
Chompsms can do that, press the msg and hold ntil option pops up...then scroll and asign ring

Thanks!
I've been using Handcent sms and I was hoping that it could handle it. Oh well. Looks like I will need to change apps.
ringo pro also works to assign sms tones custom leds and vibe patterns without needing any oths mms.apk even works with the default mms
Pretty sure handcent can do it. Open up a message from the person and click the top right settings icon.
Missed Call (at least the donate version) does this as well, I used to use Ringo, but once Missed Call got the feature I never looked back.
i really hate it that when i get an sms and i read it the notification stays on the left corner all the time, also when the sms i read!
is this normal ?
im using handcent sms
You have to disable the default's Messaging notifications.

you'll have to exit the messaging application using the back key.
in froyo leaks, it's been addressed.
(I'm using the stock messaging application so I can't speak for handcent)
it seems to be a bug in the widget beautifull widgets...
i unistalled this and now it works.
the default messaging notifications was already disabled...
thanks!
Using SMS POP by Adam K.
but it seems that closing the popup or even doing a quick reply doen'st remove the notificatoin in the status bar as well as the notification on the app itself.
any work around?
don't want to install another SMS application
maybe you should turn off the notification in messages settings
I want to keep it on to alert me of unread msgs
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App
easiest way is install a different sms app like chompsms, gosms, etc
thanks man, i was hoping that there's a work around as i don't want to install much apps in.. but i guess that's the only way.thanks again
Saw another bug. When i close the popup or do a quick reply the msg icon on the status bar goes away but the message icon in the home screeb still. Reflcts a number of unread msg when it should not since i already did a quick reply

Hi there.
I have one problem with my LG Black, i've got installed NOVA V7 ROM and from market I install Handcent SMS and set is as a default SMS app. I uncheck in oryginal android sms application option "notifications" and now i got only one notification on my statusbar when I get a sms and thats all right, but when someone send me message i get on lockscreen notification that i've got 1 message and when i tap on this notofication and slide down it goes to the oryginal android sms app. This is very annoying becauce after i get sms I got 2 notifications, one from Handcent SMS on my statusbar and the other one from oryginal SMS app on my lockscreen, and if i go to the Handcend and i read the message this one dissapear but the second one (from SMS/MMS app) is still on my lockscreen.
In a nutshell: When i get sms i have to go to the 2 sms app because i get 2 notifications, one from handcent and one from stock sms application.
My question is: how to change this slide down opption to handcent sms or if I can't do this, how to delete this option ?
Thanks a lot for help.
If you're not madly in love with the default lockscreen you can find out there some pretty alternatives and that should solve your 2 notifications problem. I used to have that problem too but I simply changed to widgetlocker which, btw, it's more powerful and customisable and you can have whatever lockscreen you want, without those 2 notifications. If you are rooted you could also delete the sms app but i'm not sure about that. Linking it to handcent or go sms or anything i don't think it's going to work.
For double notification message on status bar, you can disable notification from stock messaging settings.
And for notification message on lock screen, it's build with stock messaging, and there's no clue yet how to disable it.

Hey, I have solved this problem. But don't know which app killed it. I have "autostarts" and "no lock". I think it's autostarts. But mind you, it is an anvanced application.
On option "When SMS Received" you'd see both, Messaging and Handcent. So tap Messaging and disable it. "After Startup" option, disable Messaging as well. You could disable Messaging as well or other unnecessary apps that autostart on other options. Like Gallery, Music etc. HTH

Autostarts app. Not on the phone itself. You have to download the app.

Any idea how to disable integrated SMS messaging app? Its somehow bugged and when using Hangouts as default SMS app, it still shows icon badges with new messages count. So even when I read SMS in Hangouts, it still shows count on app icon. And even when you open msg in internal app, it doesnt mark it as read, so count doesnt disappear.
Edit seems like quite problem, because sms app is integrated to dialer/phone app. So its not shown anywhere in system separately, so I cant controll what it does. And it doesnt allow to disable notification numbers on icon...

this problem is solved in actuall hangouts settings..
Check it or replace default messaging app in settings..
Got latest hangouts, its default SMS app. Done this one first.
But still messages goes also to internal SMS app and as they arrive, they are marked unread regardless what I do in Hangouts. So MSG app shows icon badge. Only way is to delete SMS in Hangouts, then they disappear from internal app.
Pinch the home screen and pick More Settings, then find Badge app icons. You should be able to turn them off from there.

Switched to nova launcher because of this, works fine too [emoji1]
Nova is my favorite and beats the EMUI IOS launcher, I must have an app drawer.
I cannot change the default message app at all
Like the title says I don't even have the menu item in Settings to do so.
I have downloaded 8sms and Textra but neither of these or Hangouts will successfully change from the default app. All can read my texts and the text history but I cannot send. I am tired of the default app which I think is poor and also the Android emojis which I cannot figure out.
Regarding emojis I've tried downloading different font and keyboards with iPhone/twitter/Samsung/Whatsapp style emojis but they are all changed into android ones in the actual messages
I have an L09 running Nova launcher with build B145.
Please tell me someone has a trick...
THANK YOU

I disabled the badge icons some time ago when I found the possibility of doing so by chance... now wanted to enable again and I couldn't find WHERE I had done that!
Thank you
