Also, the Clock Unlock has been added xD
Now though, new "Does anyone want...." When someone calls you, and you are in another app, so that you see the call from the ticker, does anyone want the "Ignore and Text" button to link to Google Voice?
Also, how about bold ticker date text? I don't know, the original seems to small for me haha
I don't know about it doing that but I was wanting to change the functionality
Anything that gives it functionality... I have literally only used it once to see what it did and screen on/off seems infinitely more useful... you know us continuum users will take what we can get...

Also, ever since the upgrade to 2.2, the (handy, in my opinion) feature of unlocking the phone threw clicking the clock had been removed for some retarded reason I managed to put that feature back in, for myself mainly, and for anyone else if they want it

So yes Trailblazer101....final answer.... I would like a mod to change function of search key...really don't care what.....if we could answer/ignore/end calls or even sum kinda application launcher....
sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum
I believe this deserves some consideration. With sum trial and error we could make a lasting improvement to google's standard interface. Im sure there is some app, utility, or shortcut that can be represented by an icon and makes navigating your phone easier....menu, home, and back are kinda dedicated to the SMART so maybe fourth key should be dedicated to the PHONE part init? To make a long story longer we took this phone from Sammy and VZW when we gave it froyo...we will take it from google when we improve native/home keys.......was that motivational hahaha

Uploaded Softkey Remaps to Trailblazer Mods
Updated OP with new question
IS there any app or a mod that will allow me to get a none intrusive pop up when I get a message or something? Kinda like how it in iOS 5?
I have having to stop my game, and go into the menu only to see I have a message from someone I wouldn't of bothered checking in the first place?
Usually I am playing a game, and my phone vibrates but without a way of knowing if its worth my time checking or not, I have to press the menu key, and then reload the game. In the case of Order & Chaos, having to resign into the account is a pain.

You might wanna check out Popup Notifier Lite and Popup Notifier Pro in market. Let's you decide what popup notifications you get (sms, email, gmail, calendar, missed calls) works extremely well. Even the Lite version does the job nicely
I use handcent for that exact reason... You can even allow the popup to overlay your lockscreen. This allows quick responses without unlocking the phone.

Isn't the iOS 5 notification style the way Android has been doing it for years?
if I'm playing a game, I drop down the notification bar and see a portion of the message and from who it was... if I'm not bothered, I just flip the notification bar back up and continue gaming.. I never leave the app that I'm in.. in case of full screen games putting them no pause or pressing the menu key will show the notification bar if they're coded correctly.
the last thing I want is a popup appearing in the middle of the screen when I'm gaming (or whatever I'm doing on the phone actually), just my 2 cts.

Extractly.
Well I play Order and Chaos, and for some reason whenever I press the menu key, check the message app, upon loading O&C back, it freezes, and I have to manually remove the task,
This is true, but when we get a notification, it doesn't have a pop up like iOS 5. In the sense that, playing O&C it just plays the ringtone, and sometimes not even that. I have to go check the notification light.
I don't play, so the pop up doesn't bother me at all

As mentioned above, SMS Popup is a good one and it does wake my screen on ICS. Messaging 7 is pretty good too but it does not wake my screen.
Try using sms popup and MineMessageVibrator together. The first to popup the sms reply box, the second to wake the lock screen when you get a message.
Popup Notifications is a great app you should check out. It can turn on the device's screen just like you want. The app is on sale now and the customer service is great; they helped me out with an issue through email. It's a slick looking app and professional developers behind it.
Note: It may not look like it but I'm not affiliated with Spiderfly Studios. I just really like their app.

Sweep Texting allows users to receive, view, and send text messages, all without touching their phones. It uses the proximity sensor to implement intuitive gestures: you can sweep down your screen as though you're giving permission for the app to "come" to you and display itself. An alert dialog will then pop up with the text message and you can reply to it within the dialog itself (you don't have to switch out of the app you're currently using). Then, when you want to send the message, you simply sweep up as though you're commanding the text message to "go away" and send itself.
Since the app is completely touch-free (with the exception of typing in your actual message), it is extremely useful in hands-free situations where looking at the screen and switching through multiple screens to access messages may be a hazard (driving, for instance). The app also gives users a nice futuristic feel to their text messaging experience and allows them to customize it with multiple color schemes.
FULL LIST OF FEATURES:
--Sweep down to view a text message after it arrives.
--Sweep up to send your reply back to whoever you're texting.
--Tap on your message to go directly to your Inbox.
--Supports multiple messages from different senders.
--Supports messages longer than one text message.
--Hide a message and then sweep down to view it again at a later time.
--Choose between Holo styled (ICS only) or five different dialog colors.
--Choose between five different text balloon colors.
--Toggle to disable in Landscape mode.
--Toggle to enable/disable "Message Sent" sound.
--Enable/Disable toggle so you can turn off the app's features when you don't need it.

Unfortunately, the app is only available in the United States for now (due to export tax law issues). I'll be rolling the app out to other countries soon, though!
Really like this app though sadly it doesn't work with 3rd party messaging apps specifically sliding messaging (what I'm using) only seems to work with stock :-\
also can't reopen text a after dismissing..

Yeah, I could only find Intents that work with the stock messaging app when a text comes in. I'm actually working on porting it over with Google Voice and other 3rd party messaging apps are on my to-do list. I'll let you know when the updates become available.
And "Dismiss" is supposed to mark a message as read (so you won't be able to access it). If you want to be able to access a message after you view it, you should use the "Hide" button (that's what it's for). Glad you like the app though!

Are you using one of the custom color schemes? I don't think they have support for the "Hide" button (I couldn't get the dialog to accept more than one button for some weird reason... prolly an SDK bug). Try using the Holo theme. You can see from my screenshots that there actually is a "Hide" button for the Holo theme. Hope this helps!
Also, if you like the app, please consider sharing it with your friends/leaving a rating and review on Google Play. That'll help support future development of this app. Thanks!
I'm using the color schemes included in the app
EDIT just switched to holo theme can see hide and others now thanks

I don't think activities can be shown on the lockscreen. The text message dialogs are individual activities so I don't think I can place them on the lockscreen. If I do find a way though, I'll implement that into the app. Thanks for the tip!

k cool, i would also like to pint out that if you are using a alt messaging app that has an option to wake upon receiveing a text enabled the app works fine, though if it wakes to the lockscreen and is in your pocket at the time you receive a text then this app wont respond to any sweeping after unlocking until you receive another text (unless of course the same scenario happens at which case you'd have to open the text normally) now if there is a way for it to ignore all sweeping over the sensor while at lockscreen then this would be fixed but as im not an app dev idk what you can and cant do, maybe something to look into maybe a waste of time idk, just the only thing that i can think of that would provide a nice work around

That sounds like a good plan. I'm looking into implementing that right now.
Also, the price of the app has been reduced by 25% ($1.50). It has also been released in most European Union countries, so if you weren't able to download it before because of country limitations, you can get it now (as long as you're in the EU)!

Also just found that under certain situations sweep texting may keep the proximity sensor on even if there are no more texts but a user workaround is to freeze the app with titanium backup or rom toolbox(what I use) or the like and then to unfreeze it will see if I can figure out what causes it or get log for you

I was used to hide unwanted sms by hide sms and calls apps, but none of them works in 4.4+, probably because of high priority of hangouts.
It wont work even when I change default SMS app to 8sms, handscent SMS, etc...
Incoming SMS still appears in default SMS app and is not hidden.
Any solution please?

So finally I solved this issue...maybe it helps someone.
Hide it pro and most of other apps dont work, they dont hide SMS of choosen people, because of SMS high priority in 4.4+ Android.
So doesnt metter if you freeze Hangouts or not. Any other SMS app you will install will show SMS which should be hidden.
Solution:
1 - Forbid the Hangouts to send SMS
2 - Install Hide SMS&Contact -Private Text https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkyeah.privatespacefree&hl=cs
3 - Replace default SMS sender by Messaging Classic - 4.4 Kitkat https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkyeah.message
Now SMS hiding by "Hide SMS&Contact -Private Text" app is working.
For now its the only one solution and the only working SMS hide app I found. I tried many of them, but only this one works.
If youll find any better, let me know - this one is far away from SMS hiding app I was used to use.

Thanks for this! I was looking for one for the last two weeks as well. I was happily using Hide It Pro in my Galaxy Nexus before but now in my Nexus 5 it got screwed up. I hope the developer updates that app soon.
In the last week I was using an app called Private Place - there was no need to change the default SMS app (it was Hangouts). It worked pretty well. But the trial ended today (a week) and the Pro version costs $7 - which I might consider after checking out Hide SMS & Contact app you posted (the Pro version of that is cheaper at $3.6; but I couldn't yet find the limitations in the free app).
Do keep posting about any new apps you can find.
