Hints / Limitations:
* HTC Desire with stock ROM - how to fix LED blinking (let us know if it works for other phones with similar problem)
- On stock ROM, LED blinking will stop in about 5 mins after text message arrives. To workaround that we have added refresh during reminders. Simply, set reminders to a period of 5 mins to keep the led on. Btw, you can have reminders 'on' without need to set further Sound, Vibration, Turn on Display.
* LED colors / LED blink rate
- Your phone / rom needs to support that in a way it's accessible via standard Android API (android.app.Notification), otherwise the options won't work for you.
- We know that other programs may use some sort of workarounds and other tricks, but currently we don't have any plans to implement that.
* On-screen message visible when the phone is locked (in a sleep mode).
- Currently, not possible. To introduce that, it would mean to play with the Keyguard functionality in Android API which we are not sure we wanna do. Maybe in the future ... on TODO list.
- You could maybe try some other 3rd party apps which implements their own lock screen. Let us know here if you find something which works together with SMS Notifier.
From v1.5:

Nice little app that I would theme immediatelly !
Would be nice to have it in Android style..why using different icons? So it fits better..and missing the smilies
For example, I use only froyos default sms app and would like to use kind of a pop up plugin that fits and does not look like a different sms app.
greets
Edit: just did a quick edit...think I will keep this app now, looks like buid in..
I am curios how you gonna continue with this app..looking forward!!!
Hi rori,
Glad you like it.
I think we can add that default icon in the next update - need to double check the licensing first.
We have some plans for usability improvements and also some more eye-candy for the future releases.
Looking forward to more theming screenshots
Have a nice weekend.
And why not adding a text box that it allows us to make a reply ? Just like ChompSMS or Handcent or SMSPopup!
So far it is working great on my Samsung Moment. Thank you.
@aladin6:
There are two ways how to process an incoming message:
1) Let user just read a message (even if notification bar is not visible) with no interruption of whatever doing (watching a movie, playing a game,...).
This is implemented in SMS Notifier. We have missed this feature a lot in other sms applications and this is also one of the reasons why we have developed our own.
2) Interrupt running activity and force user to do some action ("popup").
This is considered for implementantion in the future, but it is not top priority at this moment.

I keep it on my phone...seriously hope you can make it froyo look.
Dont waste your time on your own UI....you just make a great app that fits to default and we have a feeling it is not a third party app, that´s all.
Dekuji moc, pozdrav!

You can change color (incl. transparency) in version 1.1
Regarding that icon in on-screen preview... wait for the next update where we will rework that part quite significantly. We believe you will like it
On another note, any Droid / X / 2 users? We're getting some strange reports regarding notification LED functionality. Could anybody with that phone(s) and using SMS Notifier describe us if it works for him as expected or what are the problems?
Basically, we are using native Android API for LED functionality and for example on HTC Desire we don't see any issues.
Superb app!! I am not sure if its a bug with HTC Desire (been using rooted stock for some time) but choosing LED color is not working

Thanks for the note. Correct. At least on Desire we don't see how to make it through Android API. Heard something about you need rooted device and work with charging LED. It's just black magic.
You gonna implement tab on notification opens sms.apk?

Does this notification app support Google Voice?
No onscreen notification here, using:
Android 1.6 CSDI V4 por [email protected] On a t-mobile g1
When using the test function on the app itself the notification appears.
Just not when I turn the screen of and then get an sms..
Still, A great app

Please make this an option if you go this route - I really hate having all those buttons and whatnot all over the screen. I like the idea of just a simple popup - click on it it to reply. I would like to see something like "2 other unread messages" somewhere else (if it doesn't already do this... I just installed it.)
Love the app - it just replaced SMS Popup on my EVO.
Quick question: in the OP the pop-up takes up the whole bottom third of the screen. On mine it just takes up a bit of each corner (or a bit in the center of the screen.) How do I get it to take up the whole width of the screen?
led - notification
Rooted Epic 4G
Bubbys AOSP v 0.2

LED notification is not working, same problem I think as some other applications (like modified sms.apk from cyanogenmod)
anyone else? any fix?

Theme suggestion/request
Couldn't find a forum on your website, so I'll put this here and maybe someone ten times more capable than I will write it for you LOVE THIS APP.
I'd love to see an 'old school' theme for us middle-aged farts who grew up with rotary dial phones and granddads who worked on the old mechanical switching equipment. A skin which turns the dial pad into the old rotary style, and if you wanted to get really fancy, when you hit the <call> button it plays a little animation which rotates the ring and clicks in the patterns of the number entered. I know there are similiar apps out there that do this, but not one that works WITHIN Rocket Dialer.

That is cool , actually we considered about that style before but current design only works for square dial buttons ... May add the old school style in future.
Thanks for giving suggestions here .

I've been using RocketDial for awhile. It works very well after you take the time to go through the custom settings to tweak things the way you want.
My only problem is I have never figured out a way to change the "Dialing" background. It has a picture of a flower.
I can change the caller ID background but I can't figure out how to change the "Dialing" background. Can anyone help?
Okay, I finally figured it out. See attached screenshots that walk you through it, and the final screenshot which shows my new (custom) background picture.
I present here a new app.
It allows you to choose up to eight contacts, which will be shown in a notification or a configurable sidebar. Tapping the contacts will allow you to call, message, whatsapp, email or many other things. This allows a faster workflow when you need to call someone when you are doing other things.
Just install the apk, open the Contacts Notification app, choose your contacts and press update.
The notification will automatically appear after a reboot, so you only need to do this once or to change your favorite contacts.
I promise I am not storing or doing anything with your contacts.
Market link:
Contacts notification +sidebar
Custom themes:Go to your sdcard, folder ContactsNotification/overlays.
There create a folder, for example, mytheme.
Into that theme add a border.png, sms.png and phone.png file. They must be 500x500px png files. pohne.png and sms.png must have border if you want it to show. A sample file, called "holo by dapaua.zip" is included.
To show the sidebar (if enabled) , just slide your finger over the trigger area.
Code:
TASKER support.
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ACTION_NAME
Where ACTION_NAME is:
POST_NOTIFICATION. Posts or refreshes the notification
HIDE_NOTIFICATION. Hides the notification
ENABLE_SET_A. Enables contact set A. Use POST_NOTIFICATION afterwards
ENABLE_SET_B. Enables contact set B. Use POST_NOTIFICATION afterwards
Use of this command line with Tasker:
Create a new task, call it CN_enable_A.
Add an action of the type Script - Run Shell.
in command , type:
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ENABLE_SET_A ; am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action POST_NOTIFICATION
if you are using the sidebar, type only:
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ENABLE_SET_A
Create a new task, call it CN_enable_B.
Add an action of the type Script - Run Shell.
in command , type:
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ENABLE_SET_B ; am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action POST_NOTIFICATION
if you are using the sidebar, type only:
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ENABLE_SET_B
Use these two tasks to change the sets on the notification. You can use it with a timer, or position, or whatever. I am not going to explain how tasker works. I implemented this because I was asked to and I found it interesting.

HISTORY
Version1.1 has some cosmetic changes in the notification.
-----
Version1.2a:
-Up to 6 contacts can now be added. Small screens may show really small icons for last contacts.
-Default action can be chosen from Menu, Dial or SMS. SMS not working yet, sorry. Icon overlays are planned so you know what the icons do.
-Slightly nicer settings screen.
-Option to disable notification icon, toast (the small notice telling you to wait), and start at boot.
-Can now be disabled without uninstalling.
This version won't be uploaded to the market. I'll upload it when I enable SMS and overlay icons.
-----
Version1.2b
-Fixed JB compatibility. Now notification drawer should fold by itself.
-Added contact icon sizes, so all 6 icons fit in small phones ( I hope)
-SMS option works.

This version will be uploaded to the Play Store.
------

-Nicer looking icons.
-Added Phone/SMS overlays to icons.
-Now you can automatically populate your contacts form the recent calls log.

A new option will appear listing all themes on the ContactsNotification/overlays folder. A sample theme can be downloaded, it is the file "holo by dapaua.zip". You shouldn't add weird characters to folder name, please use only letters,numbers,- and _ .

Should show facebook too. It should show all linked accounts and services for the contacts.
I'll add screenshots next week.
Updates
I added the market link, it'll work in some hours, according to google. Also added the required screenshots. Enjoy.
Nice idea but shame it's only for ICS. I still have Atrix on Gingerbread. :/
Cute and quick!
Since no text is displayed, for most contacts, I only have the default avatar-icon. So it alternates two gray-scales but that does not tell me the contacts.
For contacts with no avatar or picture, could have or text (may be option with pic as well!) or a way to choose one of a few icons. Of course, I should just take some pictures and use them.
BTW, one of Nokia's weird half-touch GUIs used such a scheme for its contacts.

You are right, I am thinking about showing text for contacts with no picture.
But you should definitely add pictures to your contacts. They will show on all your android devices, and even on your computer if you use gmail. I know that it is a time investment to set all your contact info, merging all contacts (you know "dad home", "dad mobile" ) . But it will make your phone much more useful if you do.
I didn't know Nokia phones did that.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I just checked out both your apps at the play store. Great ideas and potential.
Keep up!
I don't know if it's just my phone/set up (Evo 4G, Evervolv JB nightly 02/18/2013), but when I tap the icon in the notification drawer, I have to pull the drawer up manually to get to that contact; if this is how it's supposed to work, it'd be helpful if it automatically pulled the shade up so your contact is waiting there for you. Other than that, cool app and very handy!

It should automatically fold the notification drawer. It did in my trials. I don't know why is it not working for you.
Another idea: Than 4-5 would be too much but the alternative for those who really do want more would be ... slide 'em. I think Nokia's widget works that way.

I could add more contacts, I just thought four were enough. In my screen more than four wouldn't fit, though.
I cannot make them slide, because notifcations cannot be laterally scrolled. They can be expanded in JB, but I don't have a JB phone to try it, and the emulator doesn't really work properly.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Nice app! I have two feature requests:
1. Can you remove the icon in status bar? I like to see the carrier name and on my AT&T Samsung GS3 your app icon replaces that.
2. Could you add a feature to configure a default action for a contact such as "call mobile" or "call home" or "sms", etc? I'd like to just hit the icon and have it start dialing. If you can do this you want want to add some overlay text or an icon to indicate the action (a phone or text icon).

I can do both things and I think these are very good ideas. I'll implement them if I find some time. I'm a bit busy right now, but for sure I'll add these options.

Great app with a lot of potential.
Some suggestions (also mentioned by some other users)
1.Give option to show or not the icon in taskbar
2.Allow to choose default actions when icon is pressed for direct calling
3.Give option to show selected contacts OR latest contacts from call log (it will give the program a call notification function also) !
4.Fix the total look especially in the settings and a quick way to access them (maybe put small settings icon-half size,before the 5 contact pictures.
5.Translate it If you want Greek i can do it for you
Thanks and keep up the good work :good:

On my Galaxy Note 1, with ICS, I'm sorry to say it won't open the contact. It hangs and hangs and eventually I have to fc contacts.

It happens with Galaxy note 1, I tried with one and the same thing happened. It is because some sort of bug in samsung Contacts app, that's why it is contacts that FC and not my app. I don't know how to fix or go around that bug. I am sorry.

Thanks for your support dear, welcome to leave feedback, any bug or need
Geak OS
Just a couple of suggestions here.
1. Add an English version of the news widget.
2. Add 12 hour format for the clock
3. Do not automatically sort all of our apps into many folders, it makes sorting it all out a train wreck.
I love the direction of this theme, however. It has great animations and colors. Also, could someone explain to me what the GeakOS account is for? I am reluctant to sign up.
Reply to your suggestions, Thanks !

Fist of all, thanks so much for your suggestions !
here is what im trying to do:
1. for the news widget, the English version will come, im searching for internatial rss.
2. you could set the clock to 12 hour format on the settings.
3.for the automatically sorting options, If you do not like it, we could try to change this in the next version, if most of users feel the same way like you.
for the GeakOS account, signing up one is for cloud service, the next version will support this function.
So anything else?
Have a nice day.
Thanks for the fast reply. I am glad to hear about the future inclusion on English for the widget. Could you please direct me to where, in the settings, is the option to make the clock 12 hour format?
I will continue to check in for updates and further suggestions. The theme is very fluid and nice in my limited use, so that is definitely a good start. Can't wait for further improvements!

i can release all the apps just on the launcher, or fold them on the folders, so which one do you like better?
And for the icons, if you find some icon is ugly, i could draw again for you

Ya the older style without auto folders is much better. Icons look better now. One more thing which I had requested earlier was contact photos. sure many people would want it. Especially if you can get MiUI style icons for contacts without photos... Something like what follows next

I really think it is a good idea and we also consider to add the smart avater to the contact.
But we are confusing how to do it in details and whether most people would like it !
So you mean if you add the contact you do not want to add the photot in your gallery.
Instead, you want the system match one for you, right?
how to design it to make most people like it? any further ideas?
Did anyone know how to link to a foor?
I am kind fo new here.
so could anyone tell me how to link to specific floor on the contents??
Ya if there is no photo selected for any contact then the system (GEAK OS) should display a specific icon for that contact automatically instead of the boring default contact icon. If it displays the icons like MiUI of Gmail then it would be nice. I recommend that you take a look at Identiconizer app be GermainZ. Its fabulous and maybe you will get some idea.
it is here:

I like it bro
hope on the progress the ram usage will keep small like that
maybe it can fold the apps according to category maybe
and bro I'm on dual sim phone maybe can it support dual sim ?
if not that's fine i'll just swap the sim
keep the good work
hope it'll get to play store soon
and prepare the donate version

Yeah I got that
Depending on your words and I also tried MIUI and the link you give me.
If user do not set the photo of contacts:
For the miui, It display the two letter of the name, just in a different font.
For the ChameleonOS, It only display the first letter.
So none of them seems very satisfied , I wonder if i coud display a more interesting pic, instead of bank.
How do you think?

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
[Q]: What is the difference between Textra and Google Messenger?
[A]: A Comprehensive and Thorough User Level Comparison Review of Google's "Messenger" VS Delicious Inc.'s "Textra SMS"
It has also occurred to me that many users don't actually know the difference between the two (other than the fact that Textra comes with a dark skin default which is changeable). So I have taken the time to compare the many different abilities and functions that each app provides in comparison to each other (at user level).
I hope that you find this informative enough to make a decision in the future as to which you would prefer. So without further delay, I present to you my review.
Now many of you may not care about the messaging app as you've selected Hangouts to be your default SMS receiver. For those of you like myself however that prefer SMS messages to be kept separate from hangouts, this may be of good use to you.
So to the Left we have Messenger and to the Right we have Textra.
Right off the bat you will notice that Textra does a full system theme where your status bar coloring is altered to reflect the theme (as with most of our apps including our Kit Kat stock Message) where as in Messenger it remains untouched.
You will also notice that the contact icons in Messenger are slightly larger than those appearing in Textra which I personally feel would limit the amount of text being displayed due to the "create a new message" button covering the last recent message. Yet the font is slightly larger in that of the Textra app making it easier to read which is what we care about most in a messaging app.
Both layouts appear to be nearly identical with exception to color.
Here we have an example where a single message has been long pressed.
In Messenger, the message selected is indicated by a slight discoloration of the field in which the text inhabits along with changing the contact icon to a Blue Checkmark (which only deselects the message if pressed). Notice also the create a new message icon disappears (as it is not needed for this current function).
In Textra, the message selected is indicated by a highlighted check mark that shuffles in from the left of the message (shuffling the message dates to the right off screen). Additionally, the create a new message button in the bottom right corner becomes a grayed out Checkmark which when pressed, changes color and selects every message currently in the chat summary. However, there is no Archive function built into Textra as there is in Messenger which for some of you, very well may be a deal breaker as you may actually use that function (I don't).
The options that appear above in Messenger are that of cancel (go back), Archive, Delete, and options.
The options that appear above in Textra are that of cancel (go back) Silence notifications, delete, and options.
In the following two images, we see what a multi message selections looks like in both Messenger on the left, and Textra on the right.
Immediately in Messenger, the options button vanishes and converts into simply silence notifications (as that is apparently the only multi message function it can perform).
However in Textra, the options to silence, delete, and "options" remain.
I have gone and deselected one of the messages in both Messenger and Textra so that we can compare and explore the options that are presented for a selected message (since it disappears in Messenger if multiple messages are selected). However, I have included the multi selected messages in Textra also so that you can see the options remain unchanged.
To the left, Messenger displays the only options to be Silencing notifications (which for some reason was not available until multi messages were selected) Add contact which adds the person to your contacts if not already, and block or “blacklisting” (which prevents you from receiving their messages).
To the Right, Textra displays Notifications Settings, Bubble Color settings, Delivery Report settings, Signatures, and black listing. Keep in mind also that silencing notifications is already present in the main window as well.
Since we pretty much already know what Notifications off, add contact, and block do, we will go over them through Textra while we explore the additional options it has to offer in the next images to follow.
We now are looking at the notifications settings specifically for the selected messages. What you will notice, is that in Textra you can define message/people specific themes, options, and settings.
In here you can enable or disable notifications on the main page.
Tap Notifications allow you to select the action to be taken when you tap a message notification from that specific message/person. You can choose to open a floating quick reply window that will disappear after you send a message and resume whatever activity you were currently doing, or you can have it open textra like most stock messaging apps will do.
Floating notifications settings will allow you to decide the duration of the pop up notification for that specific contact (should you decide to have pop up notifications in the previous setting)
Notification Icon Settings allows you to decide what color that selected contact/message should appear in. As you can see, there are 44 different color options to choose from (wow!)
LED Blink Color is an awesome option for phones that support it. You have the ability to specify what color your selected message/contact should appear in when you have received a message from them. While our device doesn't support every color listed, I have taken the liberty of providing you with the huge variety of LED colors that actually do work for our device: Green & Red.
Default Notification sound although "says" Ringtone, actually pulls from your notifications folder (like it's supposed to).
Vibrate Settings allow you to set specific vibration instructions for that particular selected contact/message.
Now, if you've elected to allow vibrations, you can go so far as to even select contact/message specific vibrate patterns!
Wake Up Screen options allow you to decide whether or not a message from that particularly selected individual should wake your phone and turn screen on or not.
Repeat notifications let's you decide how often your phone should harass you for not checking or acknowledging the newly received message per contact/person. Hey if it's mom you may actually want it to keep telling you her message is waiting to be seen
This ends all the options available for Notifications.
Backing out now we select the option to go into Bubble Colors for the specific contact/message. You can decide what color your text bubbles should be in, and what color their text bubbles should be in. Check it out, you have 42 color options
This ends the options available for Bubbles.
Backing out now we select the option for Delivery Reports
Here you can decide if you want to receive a report for a MMS or SMS message successfully received by the end user's device to which you sent a message to. Very handy for those who claim they never got your message or simply informative to you for those who honestly didn't receive it and perhaps should be called.
This ends the options available for Delivery Reports.
Backing out now we select the option for Signatures to be displayed in your messages to these specifically selected individuals. After having opted to include a message, you can edit and create your own. Note that after confirming your new signature, the signature displayed looks overwritten but a quick back out and back in to the Settings will provide you with visual proof of the correct change. (This is likely a glitch they are probably working out).
This ends the options available for Signatures.
Backing out and selecting the Blacklist option will immediately BlackList (block) those messages selected from ever being received to your device again. Don't worry however, as this can be undone by going to the main settings for the app outside of these message specific options we've explored through this review. Pay no mind to the fact that I just blacklisted my mother-in-law by "accident"
Deselecting all the contacts in both Messenger (Hey what was this app for again?) and Textra, we are now able to enter their Primary App Options via the same options button to the top right of both apps.
Notice that since Messenger has Archive functions, you are able to go into your Archived Messages as seen in the image above. Since I don't have any messages archived, none will appear but if you had used it to Archive them, that is where you would find them. This is the same feature that is present in Google Hangouts where you can archive a conversation for later viewing (and to keep it out of your primary chat summary).
On the main page you will see a search button (magnifying glass). Perhaps you had a conversation with someone a long time ago in your messages about a certain topic but can't remember who it was or when it took place. To easily recall that conversation, you can type in a word or phrase used in the message as indicated in these examples.
A very crucial thing here to note, is that Messenger will only highlight and provide you with the very last time the subject was ever discussed and take you back to that moment in time via clicking on it.
Textra however, will display a brief message from each and every time that particular subject was discussed and take you to that exact moment in time you were looking for by clicking on the specific search result.
Since it will be extremely brief, due to the minimal activity taking place in this app, we will go ahead and explore the main options taking place in Google's Messenger App first.
As you can see, aside from having 0 message specific settings, only very little remains for any of the global settings. Whether or not you want notifications for all incoming messages, one specific sound for all, whether or not all vibrate or don't, and your typical MMS settings which appear in every MMS app.
Now in Textra's Main Global Options/Settings, we see all the following choices.
Many of these you recognize from the per message/contact options/settings we covered earlier. These will be the primary settings to take place globally in no settings are specified per contact/message.
We will only cover those that were not covered in the individual settings.
Under the "About" option, selecting "What's New?" will give us a detailed change log for all the advancements Textra has made per release.
Enable Debugging is set for times when Textra provides support to you for an issue related to their app (wow)
Tell your friends allows you to share the playstore link for this app via a variety of different sharing options.
Resync Textra does what it says: Basically re-syncs all your messages should you have strayed away experimenting with other apps that intercept messages and wish to return to stability It will re-sync everything for you without changing any of your settings.
This ends the About Options.
Backing back out into Settings you'll notice a support button. Click this and you will have the option to contact the developers directly with any issues you may have that aren't listed in their provided Q&A/FAQ listed below. They also provide a button to tap to link directly to their Feedback Forum (yeah, they have one).
This ends the Support Options.
Backing back out into the main Settings, there is a Customize Look menu. Here you can change the text size of the fonts being viewed as presented in the image above.
You can also change the Dark Mode Settings to "Off", Dark (default) and Black.
In Theme color, you can change the overal theme color of the entire app! You have 40 selectable themes to choose form. Take notice of the checkmark and circle color of each theme you select. It is the color of your secondary colors like menu option font color, check boxes, etc.
Under the Default Notifications Settings, the only difference you'll see that wasn't discussed before is whether or not floating notifications will appear while the phone is both locked and unlocked (or duration of the notifications).
All the other settings are global and as mentioned before, work for all those who don't have individually set settings.
This ends our exploration of the Settings options.
Now, we go into a message as it appears in Messenger.
Uh oh, my chat window with my buddy Justin is in Pink and White?? Gee thanks Google.. Apparently, Google thought it would be cute to pre-select random theme colors per conversation in your messages. There is no way to change the color options as they appear in this conversation nor can you change any of your chat bubble colors or font sizes.
Long pressing a message as indicated in the second picture above yields a couple options. Delete that single post, return to the chat, Forward that post to another contact, or information regarding that post (type, from, to, sent, received).
There is no multi selection option, there is no swiping side to side for additional options or navigations. However options for the entire message is present without post selection.
Now in Textra, I'm happy to say that I have assigned this theme to the chat with my buddy and I.
Pressing on his image pulls up his personal info and gives me the option to call.
Swiping from left to right in the chat window sends me right back into my main chat summary.
Swiping from right to left however, will display the exact time and date of every sent and received message regardless of the time interval between as indicated in the 3rd image.
Long pressing a message gives me the option to multi-select individual posts where I can either trash them, send them all as a new message to someone in my contacts, forward the messages to another contact, copy the text, lock the individual posts, or share in an email Man I love options!
This concludes my review of both Textra VS Messenger.
I hope you have found it enlightening and will have taught you how to operate either app like a pro by the time Lollipop roms surface.
Guess now I should go and un-blackllist my Mother-In-Law
