I am using Nexus rom Build 2 Rev 12, and also installed the AOSP look for the sms and other misc items. Now what I am curious about is the same before and after installing the AOSP mod. What is happening is when I recieve a txt message I hear the notification so I know I have a message but it doesn't give me a visual indicator that I have a new txt message. So if I was in the other room and came back to my phone and just looked at it I would have no idea I missed a txt message unless I actually go and look. On the leaked ICS or stock as you will it would put a number on the message icon but now it doesn't have that. Is this something that would have been removed in this specific rom or is it a bug? Is there something I can do to get it back or do I just need to switch roms? I am on call on the weekends for work and I have to be able to know if I receive txt messages so this is kinda a big deal for me.
Thanks

Worst case get Apex Pro launcher and enable SMS unread count. I use it anyways cause its just a nice feature
I guess I am missing the SMS unread count setting, where is it at in the Apex Pro Launcher settings?

Apex Settings -> Advanced
Missed Call Count, Unread SMS Count, Unread Gmail Count
Edit: Missed call count you need to upgrade to the beta version, which has been perfectly stable for me, which you can upgrade to under About Apex Launcher Pro
yea I didn't have the beta so I didn't have the options but now I do thanks for the heads up.

Having a slight problem here with my new captivate (came from an iPhone 4 and happy btw )
When someone sends me a text, and I reply... sometimes my 'bubble' will go above theirs and during a fast texting conversation I can send many texts that will go above all of my friends, causing it to be very hard to read. This happens with a bunch of people that text me. All people involved are on AT&T network, all getting automatic time from smartphones.
Any way to force texts to go in the order your device receives/sends them rather than by a time stamp?
Thanks folks

Disable notifications in the settings for the Messaging app that came with the phone.
Back in the days of Blackberries and normal cell phones it was possible to see if and when a text message was delivered. I know my thunderbolt can do this if I set it in the SMS options but is it possible to do it without putting the notification in the status bar every time? Is there some way to mod it maybe?

not with the stock HTC messaging app. i downloaded Go SMS pro which i think is better than sense messaging and does what you say..
Handcent does as well.
Is there any possibility to switch off sms report notification only but leave information about receiving sms in message thread?
I want to have information if my sms was received, but I don't want notification for each sms. It's really annoying.
I also want keep my stock app.
Any solutions?
sorry for my english
I assume you're using a Sense-based ROM - and that you're on about delivery reports showing up in the status bar?
The HTC messaging app is the only app that I know of that insists on putting delivery reports in the status bar, and I agree, it's really annoying. I also think that it isn't possible to silence the notification - if you have delivery reports turned on, you will get a notification for every successfully received message.
I appreciate from your post that you want to keep your stock messaging app, but unfortunately, I can't see any other way than using a Market alternative.
You could always try pulling the default messaging app from an AOSP build on the development forum and replacing it with that. The delivery reports with other messaging apps are quite subtle, and you get small notifications that fade in saying 'Message received by xxxxx.' that fade out again - much less intrusive.

Unfortunately as far as your phone is concerned an SMS is an SMS regardless if its a real incoming message for you or an SMS report notification.
Your phone reacts in the same way.
HTC sense is just basically plain stupid. Talking about Android = Customization.. What a joke.
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.
Hi, I am trying to assign a message sound/tone that specific contacts as you would do without the the ringer to be. I can't find 'message tone' under settings. any suggestions. Thanks

It's not called "message tone" it's called "notifications" under the sound settings. However there is no option for you to do what your asking with Stock firmware you'll need to find a custom Rom to have this option. I think Lineage Rom let's you do this.
Has this been removed in android 8 or is this samsug s7? (i don't have this phpne longtime yet, bought it 2nd hand for my car that has android auto) there used to be an option in sound settings that had 4 options like email, sms messages and 2 more, you could change the notification sound over there and in sms app there was also an option in the settings to change the sound of receiving an sms but i can't seem to find it ?
EDIT nevermind found it, its in messages app/settings/notifications/general notifications

I think you've misunderstood the OP, notification for a specific contact like your mother in law or something. Ive only ever seen this in a custom ROM.

That used to be in android by default also.
I charged my old samsung s4, it has kitkat 4.4 stock rooted firmware and in there you can select a different ringtone, sms notification sound and vibrate pattern for every contact.
Edit, i just checked my samsung A5 which has android 7 and the option to change the notification sound for text messages was still there in android 7
