[Q] In desperate need of a way to ensure my SMS app receives everything.

I am on CM7 on my Milestone and have the SMS/launcher apps locked in memory (although I uninstalled the stock sms to just use handcent) and I am sick of missing messages to the point I have got in trouble because of missing messages.
What else can I do to stop this problem?
Just today I tried texting myself a number (quick way to get info to the phone and never even got the message.
I have been in the application settings and watched it randomly restart which I believe would miss any messages at that time. Since I heard before when either the SMS app or Laucher is loading that any messages will be lost.

Try using the default messaging apk inside CM7 Milestone. As Handcent uses much more RAM compared to the default one. Also, try minimizing widgets on your homescreen, and other apps that constantly run in the background (i.e. antivirus, CPU/RAM/system monitors, social networking apps, etc.)

I will think about trying the stock again but I remember it as being pretty basic.
I have no widgets at all and Facebook sync turned off only other app I know that runs in the background is my voice caller id, which I can't live without.

Dark themed Google Messenger ?

I prefer " Google Messenger " for texting, over the stock Messages that the Note 5 uses by default. But I am running the ' Dark Material ' theme, and installing Google Messenger is all white, and sort of blinding after everything else being so nice and dark with the theme.
Does anyone have an .apk of an inverted or dark themed Messenger ? Can I use one found on a different phone, like a themed Messenger from the Nexus 5 or 6 ? or does it need to be specifically made for the Note 5 ?
Also one other question. How do I set Google Messenger to be the default text app ? I know when installing ti the first time, it asks if I want to use it as the main sms app. But when I would miss a text, I still shows the Samsung Messages Heads Up notification on the location.

Anyone ? Dark or Inverted Google Messenger ?

Yeah, read this thread on to get the app. It's an all black Google Messenger. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283828

No notifications at all

Ever since I changed to this phone I am missing notifications from "less important apps", such as my banking apps, even Google Hangouts and sometimes Telegram, I get NO notifications whatsoever.
Yes, notifications are enabled for those apps
Yes, I have changed Special Access => Battery optimization => Not allowed for those apps
Yes, I have changed the Battery => App launch to Manage manually for all those apps
I am on EMUI 9.0 now. I just want to receive notifications, can anyone tell me HOW?
I've been experimenting for weeks now... And the best I could achieve was receiving a second notification from my banking app, after the first expected one was completely ignored.

Delayed/Absent WhatsApp Notifications in Pie-based Custom Roms

Hello there,
I tried several Android 9 custom roms from the local xda rom forum and faced an issue with WhatsApp notifications in all of them.
When I use the phone and receive a new message, it shows a notification for it properly, I also get notifications in the lockscreen if the phone was used like 5 minutes ago.
But as soon as the phone is unused for like 15 minutes and I wake it up, no WhatsApp notifications are shown (notifications from other apps are), neither in the lockscreen nor after I woke it up. I then need to open the app manually, only then I get all new messages and corresponding notifications at one blow.
So far, WhatsApp is the only app where I noticed this problem, notifications from other apps like Telegram and Gmail work without trouble and as intended.
I always do a clean flash, don't use any customizations and set up WhatsApp freshly. I also excluded WhatsApp from Doze in the battery settings, but this didn't solve the problem.
In MIUI and other Nougat-based roms, I don't face this issue. I didn't test many Oreo-based roms to give a report about them concerning this issue.
I'm not sure if I do something wrong or if there really is an issue.
Do WhatsApp notifications work for you without problems?
Or do some of you also face this issue? If yes, were you able to fix it?

I am having same issue with WhatsApp.
Gmail and Telegram works fine for me, there is no issue with that. but i have issue with Instagram direct message that it does not shows until i open app but other notifications such as comment,new following are shown properly but i think it is a bug with Instagram since other notifications working fine.

It appears to be a bug. I have the same thing with my email app and messaging. I'll look online for a fix
