Well, I'm officially stumped. The vibration part of stock sms works, but no sounds.
Reflash AOKP 4.1.2, backup restore , and still no sound.
Email, voice mail, phone and G msg app all work for sound, just not stock msg app.
I have tried several different sounds, but to no avail.
This started after I did cm10.1 and flash back to AOKP 4.1.2

Do you have your notification sounds unchecked?
Also, when you flash did you wipe cache and delvik beforehand?

Wiped both.
Call me stupid, but I cannot find any box to enable / disable notification sounds.
Looked thrice just to be sure. Where on AOKP/system settings menu would it be?
If all of your notification sounds are working OK *except* text messages then I suggest you look at the notification settings within the messaging app. Open messaging then go into the settings, from there scroll down to the notifications section and make sure that checkbox is checked. You could also select 'chose ringtone' and make sure you don't have it on silent mode.

That did the trick. Always set the sound from settings and didn'trrealize that there was a spot directly in messaging.
Major thanks for the help!

Ok, after I installed the gutted ROM I have the double messages again even I get a text. But there isn't anywhere to choose handcent as default, like it was prior to rooting. I go into the settings on both handcent and stock msg and there is no option to make either a default. I assumed when I sent my first text from handcent I would get the message, but nope. Can anyone tell me how to make handcent default so I can stop getting 2 messages?

In the stock messaging app, go into settings and de-select Auto-retrieve and de-select Notifications. Close that and go to your People app and select someone to send a text message (don't do this in the Handcent app) and you should get a text box to choose which app to use and be sure to select Handcent as the dafault action.
Make sure notifications are turned off in the stock SMS app. That's all I had to do to get Handcent to be my default SMS app. You can also clear your settings, much like you'd do to switch between Sense UI and the stock home screen.

Perfect!! That worked great, thanks for the help guys.
Hi..stupid question but i cannot seem to get my phone to vibrate whenever I receive a text or notification..can someone tell me where i can go to set this?
I tried going into settings, sound and display but i do not have vibrate as a selection in the notification ringtone tab.
Is there an app i can download that allows me to customize my sounds?
thanks!
the settings for notifications are within each messaging application. if you go to your sms application, hit the options button and go into settings. at the bottom you will find the notification settings, including vibrate and a ringtone selection. notifications for each of your messaging apps are configured this way.

Nothing you can do about that in android. Thats the default android vibrate for notifications. I think it sucks too, its way too short and too soft of a vibration.
What you can do is install SMS Popup. Go into settings on that app and enable notifications on it. It has more options for SMS notifications, like you can set a really long vibration. Just remember to then go into the Android messaging app and turn off notifications there, otherwise you'll get double notifications. This will only help fix the problem for SMS messages. I think android still sucks on incoming notifications for other items like emails, etc.
I REALLY like SMS Popup, its great.
whats the best custom setting. i am trying to set it so it virbates alot and i can feel it
For the life of me I can't figure out why I am getting two notifications for every SMS I receive. I have menu->settings->sound and display->notification ringtone set to Silent
I have Handcent SMS instaleld set to "Tweeters". When I get a SMS it plays "Ta Da" and then a second later plays "Tweeters".
When I turn Handcents SMS notification, I only get "Ta Da".
I uninstalled built in messaging with titanium backup hoping that might solve it, I have no other sms app installed that I know of. How can I turn this sound off? Getting two notifications for every SMS is driving me NUTS!
Peter
Not sure if you can undo this now that you uninstalled the built-in messaging. If you still had it you would just open the messaging app and click on the menu->settings and under Notification settings uncheck the Notifications option. Now it would seem that you are in a limbo state since you uninstalled the stock messaging app.
You might have to restore a backup or reflash the stock ROM using Odin3 to get it into a state where you can turn of the stock messaging notifications.
if you go into your messages. go back to the screen where you can see all your messages. Click menu, then settings, then look for notification settings.
Anyone have the messaging apk they don't mind sharing? Titanium backup won't seem to restore it. I'd rather not completely undo everything I've done to date.
Alternatively is there a config file somewhere that would keep this? In winmo there was a registry I could go clean manually if needed.
Peter
Not sure about the config file or the apk, but as for titanium it won't restore if you didn't back it up before you deleted it.

U dont need to delete messaging app just open messaging app click on settings go to where is says auto retrieve and uncheck it. then go to handcent goto settings and make sure auto retreive is checked now only youll get one notification
zorphnog: I did a complete backup before deleting, titanium still won't restore it.
Anyone want to back theirs up and send me the file?
vinid: I understood exactly what you said, however I had already deleted messaging trying to get rid of the tone.
Now I am stuck with a phone that beeps twice. I can't imagined that there isn't a file somewhere that can be edited to remove this notification.

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to make the new FP1 lockscreen show notifications for Go SMS?
I use GoSMS also and I have not seen a way yet
I think go sms is not ready for FP1 new lock screen yet. You can try this see if it works. In go sms notificaton settings, uncheck the option "disable other sms notification".

That didn't work. Maybe it's because I'm using nitro's FP1 debloated rom with Ecplise parts. That rom doesn't have the stock Messaging app but the AOSP one

So I erased go sms and got the stock messaging app to work and I get the notifications for it on the lockscreen. I reinstalled go sms and disabled the notifications for it (but still have notifications for the stock messaging app), but now I don't get any notifications at all, not even vibration or ring. I only get notifications when I delete go sms. This is weird

Did you try to enable the notification to see how it behave?

I did, notifications work except for on the lock screen
If I can put in my 2 cents... I've been using widgetlocker on my rooted EP4 forever now. I love it. It allows full customization and notifications. I'm about to make the FP1 switch and the first thing I'll be doing is rooting and installing widgetlocker again (well not the first thing, but you get the idea). It's a fantastic program that should suit your needs for allowing notifications.
After I install custom roms i notice that my phonr no longer vibrates for incoming calls and texts.
the vibrate works for notifications and such but just calls and texts it wont work.
Ive enabled it in the settings but still no luck
is it just me or do other people get this as well?
this happened to my Raider/vivid as well but no one ever responded to my question..
thanks

Make sure it's set to vibrate in each individual app and not just the general settings. I've had certain apps do this before but it was because vibrate was turned off in the settings for the app.

Just go into which ever app you aren't getting the notification results you are looking for. Go into the settings for that app. Most apps will have their own settings for notifications in there. You can select custom sounds that will be specific for that app, as well as the option for vibration for received notifications.
