stock sms screen on - General Topics

Hey all,
I've been using go sms for over a year, but I'm just getting annoyed at the old school look and increasing lag. I love the options but am finding myself drawn to the inverted stock sms app on cm10.
My questions is, does anybody know of a way to automatically turn on the screen when receiving an sms like I could with go sms? I've tried it with tasker and can't figure out how to do it, but I'm a total tasker noob. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've googled this and can't find a good response that sticks with the stock app.

Messaging settings - can't find them

I installed the new official 6.1 ROM from HTC on my Touch Cruise. I is working gread, but there is one VERY annoying feature that I want to get rid off, but I can't find a way.
It is that foolish manner of showing the SMS messages as some kind of chat conversation. How can I get rid of that ? I want to use the old fashioned way of SMS being just an SMS, not a chat conversation.
Search the forum for the registry entry to turn off threaded SMS.
I have seen this new feature on the new ROM and I thought it was cool at first. It's starting to annoy me a little bit, so we'll have to see whether or not I get that annoyed I have to turn threaded SMS off.
yeah some parts are a bit annoying. like viewing the timestamp of a text was sent a couple of days ago. haven't quite figured that one yet. the other thing is the performance hit with threaded sms, as well as when the keyboard pops up combined with the area to write in, not much space is left to see the previous message anyways. maybe i should turn it off....haha...

[Q] MMS Message Problems

I have a strange problem with the stock messaging app on android 2.2.
When ever I receive picture messages they come though as a 4 second video. So I can view them but if I wanted to save the picture I cant as there is no option to save.
The only way round this which I'm using atm is to have Handcent installed as well & then from within handcent I can save the pictures because they don't appear in a video.
I've tried searching for an answer but every time I do i just seam to find topics about people having trouble sending messages :-(
If anyone could shed some light i would be most great full!
Thanks in advance!

[Q] SMS Notifications with Sense Messaging app

I've found that I seem to prefer the stock htc messaging app over any others so far. When I use sense-less roms, I use GO SMS. Right now I'm trying to stick to stock messaging app as to maintain the sense look and feel across my device.
Everything seems good in the stock messaging app except one thing, I want the screen to turn on when I receive an sms message. Just so I can have a visual cue if I cannot hear/feel my phone when it's on vibrate. I've looked through all the settings I can think of but cannot find anything.
Is there a way to just make the screen light up for say 30 seconds with a preview of the text with the stock message app?

With the stock messaging app, no. Not that I have found anyways. Now...you can use SMSPopup. This is almost all the features you would find within GoSMS, but uses the stock app. Basically, it just adds extra features through it's own program, but for use on the stock app. Check it out, you'll probably like it a lot.

[Q] Desire on non sense rom and few questions

I got HTC Desire and on Oxygen rom and I got few questions regarding stock gingerbread experience and hoping people come across work around for annoyances I'm having. I know some of questions are better suited for specific forum for applications but I just want to throw everything out here and see if anyone knows.
1. Miss call notification it's driving me nuts. I use "Go Contacts" because of T9 search. In notification I press miss call person and it still stays in notification. I remember reading in the past developers can't get rid of it with some reason due to gingerbread change. Anyone got work around for this without solution being use stock caller?
2. I'm using LauncherPro's bottom icon notification feature for miss calls/sms. Only problem is I press calls and it still say I got miss calls with whatever number miss call I got unless I press on the number I miss called. How can I make it so I can get rid of notification of LauncherPro when I press phone contact button or something?
3. I use Handcent and it has great feature of changing LED light into blue and it makes so it much easier to know when I got sms even when charging. I'm not sure if it's because I use Full Screen Caller ID or I pressed LED root feature where I can change colour to what ever I want but it just doesn't work any more even after I disabled LED root feature.
Because of it I'm thinking maybe use separate app for notification or something if they exist?
Many thanks in advance and let me know if anyone have better way of handle miss call notification issue!
I have HTC Desire S, used all kinds of dialer apps and had the same unread-count problem.
However, after I changed my original ROM to LBA (and also changed the launched to GO Launcher so it might also be related) - it was fixed!
I don't know how, but it's working fine now.

[Q] Stock MMS not working with BLN

Hey, guys! This is my first post on XDA, though I've been lurking around for a while.
I'd like your help with something. From what I've gathered on the forums, the built in backlight notification won't work with the stock MMS app because upon receiving a message it forces the screen to turn on, which uses up the one screen turn-on cycle the BLN will be active for.
Is there a way to set the BLN to stay on for multiple screen cycles? Or, alternatively, can I set the MMS app to not force the screen on? Preferably I'd like both of these things, since it's how my old phone was set up.
I'm running DJ-ICS Plus 2.0, if that helps at all.
Thanks in advance, and thanks for having me
If you buy BLN Control Pro from the market, it should let you set up the notifications the way you want.
You have to use different messaging app for BLN to work. Can't use stock messaging app. There is no way around it that I know off.

Some roms offer it, maybe just the t989 ones I cant remember which ones offer that support.
Download SMS popup. Set that up, disable notification in your stock messaging app. SMS pop up is not a stand alone app. It works with your msg app. That's how you can bypass the screen from coming on. There are a couple threads that go more into detail.
