Looking for an app to show sms messages on locked homescreen. Any recommendations?
Flyscreen?
If you're referring to an app which shows a new sms popup on a locked screen, Handcent SMS and ChompSMS both do that. Handcent has the option to not show the sms contents, not sure about Chomp though.

How so? I can't seem to figure it out.
If you're using Chomp, there are some options under Settings > Quick Compose & Reply. Not sure if you have to set the popup notification to be on under Settings > Notifications. Note that I haven't actually tried this yet as I'd rather not have notifications on my lock screen.
I know it works for Handcent though, as I used to have it enabled. Should be under the notifications settings somewhere, can't quite remember as I haven't used Handcent for quite a while.

Doesn't show it on the lock screen, but disables my lock screen when I have a new message.

Are you using Handcent or Chomp? I know Handcent worked as of ~1 month ago without disabling the lock screen (referring to the lock screen which require a pattern unlock, not sure what happens if you don't have that enabled).
I use SMS POPUP. Great app.

is there anyway to make it popup and automatically turn on the screen like handcent? Handcent misses alot of text and this app works better but doesnt actually turn the screen on with the pop up.
Check out SMS Popup in the market (free). Use that for notifications as it has a screen wake option. I disabled hancent and the stock messenger's notification options and it works great. It's a great little program.
Not sure if this will meet your need but wanted to throw it out there.

Sure, it has, go to "Preferences"--"Notification Settings"--"Popup Windows Settings", enable "Unlock screen"
will you be adding led notifications to go sms anytime soon?
I use the app "No Lock" so that I have no Lock Screen (time wasting and useless).
my problem is that my screen does not light up when I get an SMS when lock screen is off. if I switch lockscreen back on it works.
Any idea for a workaround?

I have the same question. Thanks
love the app
I love the app. I've tried both handcent and chomp and they send my msgs multiple times to my contacts and this doesn't! Thanks. Hope it continues to be do so well.
My only problem is that I cannot get the contact pics to work.

Thanks so much for the great app.
Ok guys please post all questions in the thread that they concern
I am using WidgetLocker along with Go SMS Pro. I really like the popup feature, but I dont want it to popup when I am on my Lockscreen in WidgetLocker.
I causes me to miss out on some sms because when WidgetLocker locks my screen again after the popup GO SMS think it is because I have read the sms, and then it removes all notifications of ever receiving a new sms.
When using stock lockscreen the popup is visible after unlocking my screen, but not i WidgetLocker. Any solution to get this working? It works find with Handcent, so I guess this has something to do with GO SMS.
When a new message comes in, the pop up for Go SMS shows over the WidgetLocker. The option in WidgetLocker to hide SMS messages doesn't work.
I also want the pop up to turn on the screen, but not show. Help please?
The following doesn't work... VVVV

Thanks!
I just go into GOSMS settings and disable the popup. Those things are so annoying anyway.
I changed to Handcent because of this.

Handcent gives me high battery drain...
I have been using SMS Popup since the original G1, but they said with the switch over to Hangouts on the Nexus 5, there are some bugs that they are unable to work out. Is there a different app you guys are using that's working without any issues? I just want the message to popup and the ability to quick reply to it.

This isn't *exactly* what you're looking for, but check out DynamicNotifications. It makes it so when you get an email, or text, it shows message details on your lock screen and you can swipe to unlock and it'll go straight to the message. Hopefully it'll fill in the gap, as I've replaced SMS Popup with it since my Galaxy Nexus.....
I'll think about it, but at the moment, I don't have a lock screen enabled.

I second this, pure stock android messaging, extremely customizable, has popup that can be toggled, toggle it to turn on your screen, change MMS size, app icon, has status bar "Read" "Reply" options, best sms app I could ask for on this device.
