[Q] BLN with (almost) stock messaging app? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just for information:
Currently, my SGS is running Darky's Rom 10.2 Final with TalonDEV-Kernel 0.4.3. The app which is making trouble is a modified stock messaging app from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065847.
Yeah, I'd like to have a BLN when I recieve a text message. Does anyone have an idea or maybe a workaround how to make it blink?
But please don't tell me to use a third party messaging app because their icons doesn't match with the samsung stock design.
Ty in advance!

I was struggling the same as you to make it work with the stock app, and all I read about was "use GO SMS, use Handcent, etc, etc"...
Well... there's a nice and clean solution!: Use SMS Popup; it will notify you via LED when SMSs arrive and you'll still keep the stock app (plus you'll have a nice popup to reply from there if you want)
Hope it helps!

[Req] Google sms app

Hi there,
I'm using Go SMS and I'm very satisfied but there is a bug : notifications for sms are not reseted when I read them unless I launch stock sms app.
That's why I'd like to replace stock sms by google sms app, maybe it'll work ! Also, I assume it will be lighter than lg stock sms app but maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, can someone give me the google sms apk ? Can't find it ...

[Q] CyanogenMod messaging app

I flash my phone to gingerbread 2.3.5 using MiniCM7 - 2.0.7 for X8, but i found that the messaging included in the ROM does not have chat style, can anyone help me how to make the messaging to have chat style (or some say bubble style)?
i am not willing to use other messaging app, like GO SMS (felt it is a bit heavy), Handcent (the ads make me irritating), Chomp (sometimes it will not responding).
Thanks.

[Q] NoLed apk issues

Using Insanity i9000. Great Rom. Now as we all know the Galaxy S has no led blinker to alert you you have a text or a missed call or whatever, however NoLed only seems to work with the stock messaging, tried Handcent, Go SmS.
But the stock sms for Insanity,
I gt a text ok, then it starts to put the new text half way down the conversation somewhere, not at the top of the conversation where is should be.
Anyone got any ideas.

[Q] text message notifications bug

ok I am having the worst luck with TINY problems on this D4. so I was having a problem where blurcontactsync was causing my contacts to crash if I tried to use them, I found a simple fix to rename the apk to .bak, and it worked
Now I noticed that when I get a text message I do not receive any kind of notification. No smiling message in the notification bar, no notification tone, no vibrate. I have gone into text message settings and set the tone, I have gone into general settings and set the tone. I even went into titainium backup and froze "Messaging, and Universal Inbox" because I thought they might be interfering just like the blur contacts sync. no luck Still do not receive any kind of indication not even the LED flashing.
all my other notifications work fine, if I get an email, or a missed call I get a notification tone and a flashing green light....I extensively searched XDA and people were having this problem with the droid X but it was some kind of update bug and was fixed with a new patch....anyone have any ideas what I could do to get my notifications working again??
Hmm I can't replicate this problem on mine but do you use the stock text messaging app? Try a third party texting app like Handcent and then send a test to yourself from text.vzw.com and see if you get the notification.

yea I'm currently using the stock app I was hoping to avoid a 3rd party app but I guess Im going to dive into that. I can just freeze my stock msg app right?

I wouldn't freeze the stock messaging app, I believe that's still necessary even with a 3rd party app (speaking of, I highly recommend GoSMS, but have also been happy with Handcent in the past).
I remember seeing over on DroidForums.net that someone froze their stock messaging app and wasn't receiving any texts after that. Give it a shot but if you don't get any texts for a while I'd unfreeze

[Q] Google Hangouts vs. stock messaging app

For SMS and the like, do you use the official/stock messaging app or Google Hangouts?
Nether, I use YAATA. There is quite a bit to choose from.
I use Chomp or Textra, many more options to configure including delayed sending(if you notice you are sending to wrong person) & ability to choose multiple recipients(group text) simply
I used hangouts on my LG g2 for ages, but I haven't missed it yet on the z3c yet..... But I've only had the z3c a week haha.
Anything you guys don't like about the stock msg app in particular? Or is it mainly that the others have more options to tweak?
Was just randomly inquiring.
I'm currently using the stock messaging app and have no issues.

I do like having a few more options but mainly I like dark themes and third party messaging apps offer those.
I use Textra myself, been quite happy with it thus far, enjoy the customization options in terms of LED and notification bubbles and sounds that you can customize per contact.

I was a fan of Textra early on. However, I don't understand why they continue to use their own database for sent messages. They used to only keep sent messages in their database thus preventing you from doing backups. They now copy sent messages from their database to the Android database so backups and restores work fine. If you don't mind the extra space used it is a good app. I guess they do it for performance though I don't see any difference between their app and other messaging apps.
I have a group of 50 people, and sometimes i need to send an sms to all of them.
Stock sms app cannot fulfil the job and does not have an option to keep contacts in groups after sending messages.
I have to use handcent instead.
By the way, if anyone knows a decent sms app that can overcome android sms/hour limitation please give me an advice.
Thx in advance!

What ROM are you running? I have seen that setting in CM12. I don't believe it's an Android limitation but rather a ROM setting.
Stock 4.4.4.
I don't have the courage to install a custom rom
