Notification pop up iOS 5 style?

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.

Any alternative for us Sense users? I love Sense, so I don't see myself switching to AOSP ROMs. Just my personal preference.

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

Text message incoming call reject

I have a vibrant and my wife has the g2x, she really wants the option to reject a call with a predefined text message like my vibrant can. Is there an app or rom that can successfully accomplish this on the g2x ?

Try extreme call blocker.
Block all unwanted calls, secure private text messages, ensure privacy. This app is now fully compatible with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), with pickup-hangup feature. *** LG phone users, if the blocked calls are answered but not hangup, please enable "LG mode" option in "Application Configuration".
Not free, been using it for a week works great.

You can on MIUI ROMs. Instead of sliding down to answer you slide up to reject.

GO SMS has this feature, although I haven't tried it out. Its a free app and is MUCH better than the stock messaging app.
In the app go to Menu > Settings > Services > Auto Reply. Then you're given a settings window that includes 3 pre-defined auto reply messages. Press directly on the text of one of the messages and it will give you options to change the message; change whether it's sent after a missed/rejected call, an incoming text, or both; and there are other options too. Like I said I haven't tried, but I've used GO SMS for quite some time and its a very reliable app so I'd be surprised if it doesn't work.

+1 on miui.us
Just checked and it has the option you want but it involves rooting and flashing a custom rom, guess your best bet would be the apps mentioned above.

I already flashed a custom rom on her phone so that's not a problem. The problem would be her not being very accepting of an entirely new UI and bugs. I'll give them apps a try. I installed handcent sms on it I'll see if it has an option.

Just tested it with GO SMS and it works beautifully. If Handcent doesn't have it definitely give GO SMS a try. I actually used Handcent before and I like GO better.

[Q] Handcent vs Built in messenger?

Which do you all prefer?

Definitely stock. On every rom always. It just works better in my experience

Love Handcent

I like the quick reply pop up of handcent, I'll try chomp n go too

Stock doesn't lag at all when scrolling with pictures. I tried to keep using it, but there were some annoying things. The text box was too big to start with. For some reason it was delaying text messages or not sending them correctly.
THe fact that INSIDE the bubble it displays the other person's name, kinda bothers me. The fact that there is no quick reply was a turn off. Although you could download sms pop up, I found that the communication between both programs was not the best.
Go is super, but... its REALLY over crowded. Too many options and extremely easy to hit the button you do not wish when in a rush. Other than that, its great. I liked specially from this one that you had the call button on the top of the contact and you do NOT have to hit 3 taps to call anyone from the app (Pic-Call-confirm).
THe one I am using is CHOMP. It's the one that most resembles the iPhone and bitesms (same makers). Its being updated CONSTANTLY. So it's the most promising. You can one click call the contact through the quick reply. The only thing I miss from Chomp that go has is the call short cut in the message thread. Its light and its fast.

Individual notification sounds...

OK guys I've been really looking to find an app that can do this without all the extra stuff..I'd like to be able to set notification sounds for individual contacts.. I've seen apps like SMS pop up that do this and a few others...I already have a ROM that has the pop up feature so I don't really want to use a third party app to message...does anyone know of a way to do so?

Was looking for that but to be able to do assign individual sounds for contacts as it related to texts, but after some research I found an app that does it. Who is it lite

I use LED Lightflow to manage all my notifications in one app. It's nicely designed and has plenty of features.

Another app that allows you to set individual tones for SMS contacts is SMS Sounds. It is a small app that is designed to be used in conjunction with a default messaging app.

[APP][2.2+]: Sweep Texting

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
