App Info:
.apk
I created this app using Tasker in conjuction with Tasker App Factory
You do not need tasker to run this app.
I have provided a .apk file that can be installed if you enable the option "Install From Unknown Source" in system settings.
.xml
I have also provided the project's .xml which can be imported into Tasker and used through Tasker, just as it would in app form.
Once imported, the project is able to be edited and customized to your needs.
By all means, make any modifications you like, BUT if you do many any edits and post it publicly, please refer back to this thread, site it appropriately and give me credit for what i have created.
How to import.
Known Bugs
*When using the "Press Enter to send" option, a new line is shown when enter is pressed, though the blank line is not actually sent in the message.*
*When two texts are received within half a second, the second text may not display correctly.*
*Screens with different resolution/dpi/size will cause the popup to have a different size/location.*
It can only handle texts from up to 5 different people.
*Only able to scroll down through text in the center of popup (sides are reserved for swiping through texts)*
Compose window displays differently on full screen.
Importing the .xml project into tasker is borked for some people.
*Cannot be fixed at the moment due to Tasker limitations*

Keep up the great work!

HTC ChaCha / Status. CM10.1 The screen is 480x320.
I guess if I had tasker I could build it for my phone or something?

Haha wow that's bad, I guess since the screen res is so small.
Edit: and it looks like that phone has a default landscape display..
I'll probably have to make multiple versions or find a way to detect screen size in Tasker.
But yes you could edit the app in Tasker.
This might not be ready for multiple devices then maybe I should move this to the app development forum :/

It's labeled as beta. It should be fine here.
That's why making this into an app that's not associated / created with tasker would be amazing. Of course that is a lot of work

My s4 has a weird bug that makes talkback always on when using any accessibility apps. Is there any way to use this without the accesabilities? Also it doesn't mark the sms as read after a reply other than that an outstanding idea and keep up the fantastic work!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

All the accessibility does is make sure the Compose window appears/disappears correctly.
If u don't enable accessibility it will still work, just might be a bit wonky haha
And last time I checked I can't mark messages as read because of Tasker limitations, but I'll look into it again.
Thanks!

It'd be nice if I could see that tutorial again. Also, the font is scaling depending on the length of the message, which makes it go from a book for the blind size to microscopic.

[2.1+][APP] Text Notify

This app is simple but useful for people that heavily use full screen apps (games/browsers/ect). It gives a nice little notification that shows the text message/email you just received, allowing you to decide if it's worth quitting your app to reply to it (see picture), even if you're in another app! You can turn the notifications on and off via the main screen. The best part of it is you can play and the notification will not interfere with your touch on the game. It might also have the simplest options menu.
FEATURE LIST:
Works with third party SMS applications
Now supports K9 Mail (requires K9 Mail for functionality)
Shows the sender (name from contacts list or number if contact doesn't exist)
Shows the sender and contents of the message
Low profile
Doesn't interfere with the touch interface of whatever task you are doing
Easy to turn on or off just by the touch of a checkbox
Lightweight
No more quitting Angry Birds just to see that someone texted you "lol"
Works in portrait and landscape orientations
Permissions explained:
Read SMS: So that it can read the text to show you
Read contacts: so that it can see if anyone in your contacts shares the same number and the text sender
Please report any bugs to me.
P.S. I know this is a VERY simplistic app and may seem pointless. If you feel that way that is fine, however I have had a lot of people that laughed at it originally tell me they can't use any full screen app without and they never turn it off. So I simply ask you give constructive criticism. Thank you!

Unfortunately Google currently doesn't allow outside apps access to Gmail emails or the standard email client. If they change this stance, I will update asap.
OK, I see...
Meanwhile, I installed and tested it (my ROM is at my sig) and it is working perfectly with the GoSMS I have installed...
Thank you!
No problem! Glad it works for you (as it should lol)

Awesome! Thanks for the reply.
clears a lot of hassle of pop up! thanx
Crazy, I was literally just thinking it would be cool to have something exactly like this on my SGS2 when I was playing Star Diamonds Capture... it's an online multiplayer game that you can't really back out of unless you want to risk losing the match, but I always want to make sure I'm not ignoring an important text.
Thanks, I will let you know how it runs and if you stay active as a dev I will support your efforts as much as possible.

Can you make the toast message last longer? It disappears very quick.. Just a half second longer would suffice and not interfere with games

From what I see, it doesn't actually show you what the email says or who it's from, just that you have an email. Maybe I can just say you have a new Gmail Email haha

Thank you so much for this app! I had tried doing this on my previous device but I ran into some problems. Rated it 5*
By the way reject a call with a message is like basic functionality, you can just pull the Reject with a msg drawer from the bottom, so it's kind of doubling the functionality. Why do you have a title and a body for an SMS reply? Body is what's sent and title is only for you to faster pick the message? Also if you reply with a message like I'm busy, call back later, can we also have a toggle somewhere to put the number in the call back queue? (maybe in the sms templates screen)

Also found a bug with this nice font of yours.I'd consider switching back to default system font since it would blend in with the OS more and have no bugs like this one. Attaching screen.

1. Reject a call with a message is basic for our Note's. But there are lot of devices (1.6 - 2.3.3+) without this basic functionality.
2. You are right - title is for faster pick.

Basically everywhere where this font prints out that message. So in the template list too, probably in the picking dialog when you have an incoming call also (haven't checked). You can try copying these letters to see the bug yourself: ĄČĘĖĮŠŲŪŽąčęėįšųūž. I assume same happens with other foreign characters too.

Now you have an option to callback later, where it drops the call and adds it to the queue. If I drop the call with a message, the number won't appear in the queue, but it would be convenient if it would Hope I made my self clear this time

ICS SMS Popup is a simple app that will easily allow you to view and reply to incoming text messages from a pop up dialog. Now you can read and even reply to incoming text messages with out ever having to leave your current activity! Find it annoying to leave in the middle of a task just to view a new message? Try out ICS SMS Popup to solve that problem with a simple solution!
★ Android 4.0 style
★ 5 colored themes (ICS-Blue, Red, Orange, Green, Purple) - More coming soon!
★ Read all incoming SMS messages instantly
★ Slide to unlock animation
★ Instantly reply to messages without leaving a task
★ Auto-receive enabled
★ Inbox quick-launch
★ Custom notifications
★ Task-killer safe
★ Low RAM footprint
★ 0% battery drain
*Tips and help*
★ Why do we need a permission to read your messages? That's simple - so you can view them in the popup. Without it you could not view your messages.
★ Do we collect IQ and read messages? NO. We do not collect data or any other IQ like many other keyboard or popup apps who will steal your information for profit.
★ Avast reporting as malware!?! No, its not malware. It is the AdNetwork SDK which has been certified by Verisign and fully approved by Google. Avast and a few other outdated scanners will mark this as a potential risk because of the required permissions. Don't be fooled, use a legitimate antivirus app like Lookout Security or AVG. See below for more info.
★ Why such extreme permissions? Well, they are required in order for you to read, view, and reply to your messages in the app. We can not view or see any messages you send or receive. We do not support IQ like many other apps, so you are completely safe!
**Other Info**
ICS SMS Popup is the original SMS popup dialog themed to Android 4.0. We have many other flavors available to satisfy all tastes. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at [email protected] and we will get back to you as soon as possible with a solution.
This app provides a few useful shortcuts on your device in the form of a search bookmark link and home screen icon. This gives us a few cents each time the app is downloaded and will help us out a lot in developing more apps. If you do not want to use these new tools, you can simply ignore or delete them by dragging the icon to the trashcan and no harm is done (our app remains the same, no need to uninstall it). There is an ad-free pro version on the Play Store if you would like to support development! Thank you!

Glad you like it! Customization is our main focus, we have an iphone style coming out soon too but the current versions are just to give ppl options while we add features and work out any bugs. Once the beta is complete it will be converted to one main app with downloadable themes and a template for 3rd party devs. Then it will be added to the widget chooser in Omega Launcher

Trying this now. SMS popup was disabling my lock screen on CM Apocalypse. This seems to be working better!
Thanks!
This looks good, but could you make an option to keep the incoming message visible while doing a quick reply? I like to be able to refer to longer or more complicated messages while typing my response.

Glad you like it! This was an early build so it is geared more towards speed and stability than features at the moment but there will be a new customizable version out soon with basically every option you can think of so stay tuned We are just putting the finishing touches on our new themeable status bar app so the SMS popup is next in line.

That is a great idea and will definitely be looked into for the new version. Our team communicates primarily through 5+ message long texts so this feature would be useful for us too lol. Thanks for the suggestion, let us know if you think of anything else and they will be added to the wish list
One of the reviews for your app states it adds shortcuts to the desktop, Google don't allow this.

We are well aware of the new developer policy and our ad networks are fully compliant with the changes. Rather than being opt-out like it was before there will now be a popup after installing that will allow users to either opt-in and receive the shortcuts or continue using the app without them. We literally spend hundreds of hours developing each app so we would really appreciate it if you wouldn't mind spending the 2 seconds it takes to remove the icon if you don't want to use them, but if you don't find them to be useful I understand. They are currently our main source of revenue though so if users don't like these kinds of ads then hopefully they will speak with their wallets and purchase the ad-free pro version to help support our full-time development efforts. The new opt-in setting will be integrated in our apps over the next month before the new policy goes into effect and should eliminate any concerns over this issue. Thanks

I'm open to any suggestions and feedbacks !
This one of these applications I always needed when trying to instruct things to people. Great to see it done!
Here's a little suggestion: Option to have an opacity layer on the screenshot in a rectangle/portion that is selected or the contrary, have the portion selected with no overlay but the rest with a more opaque layer. This can help a lot to put emphasis on certain parts without having to draw a bunch of arrows.
Still very usable, will come in handy.
Hi polobunny and thx for your kind words, it's encouraging
Regarding the overlay, I'll play around to see how can I integrate it beautifully : the point is I don't want to develop an masterapplicationwhichcandoanything, just the minimum and the needed
But your suggestion match this criteria so !

I understand your concern. I prefer applications that are not cluttered and full of functions I would never use. Already drawing on the screen is a wonderful tool, the rest is bonus.
Yeah, but I kinda also want to satisfied all people so I'm thinking about a "more" menu where I can stick the bonus fonctions
Thx again for your feedback
Installed your app earlier to try it out & I really like it so far...the only major thing that I see that would have to be changed in order for me to keep using it is there needs to be a way to move the red start/stop button to any place on the screen that we choose and hopefully resize/reduce it also and change the color of that button...I don't have anything on my phone that's red, would much rather change it to Holo blue

Hello wuzdat
Moving the button around is something I'm thinking about, the problem I have to handle is the toolbar opening (currently it's opening from left to right, so it have to be adaptive)
I'll start a todo list
Maybe just have toolbar always open in its current location & only move around the start button...just suggestion I'm not a dev so I don't know if it's possible

@polobunny : ANO 1.1.0 is live with the resizable rectangle feature !
I didn't include a "contrary" option though, I think it will confuse the user (and add another button)
Also, I release a donate version without ads, if you like ANO please consider supporting me by buying it : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plumillonforge.android.ano.donate
Thanks again for all your feedbacks

Yes I've seen it this morning and I got excited haha! I really hope people get to know about your app, it's quite useful.
Great app. Can the background be set to full transparency when starting the app instead of doing it manually every time?

where is the save folder Cannt seem to find it.
Edit- they are not getting saved. I get load failed error. Using it on 4.4.2 CM11 note 3
About RAM
Since my android device is low end, i would like to ask you if the app is RAM heavy or would cause lag on a 512mb device?

That would be great, thank you.
By the way, this is really a nice app, I could not find a similar one that would satisfy me.
If you could promote it somehow, I'm sure more people would find an appreciation for it. I'm thinking especially Note 1/2/3 users and even more so, those who migrated to an aosp rom such as myself and lost the screenshot capabilities from touchwiz.

I don't think the app will eat so much your RAM (or maybe if you draw a lot)
This is a good case to try it on though

The screenshots are saved in your "Pictures" folder in a "ANO" directory
Do you have root and do you authorize the application ?

Yeah I need to promote it more (the current installs are natural one) but I don't really know how to be effective on this matter !
@Plumillon
Yes I have root. But not working. Whenever I try to save anything I get a notification in notification drawer( like one after a screenshot) but its all black and when I open it it says " load failed".

A user had the same problem with CM, it was the Super User distributed with CM which caused the problem
He updated it (or install another one) from the Play Store and everything works fine now
Can you check this out please ?

Hey everyone! I just created a new App, for now am limiting the App's release (Alpha 1) to the good old XDA folks.
It's a Chat Helper for WhatsApp.
The App embeds and shows a WhatsApp widget and displays it whenever you are on a chat with someone, the widget shows the count of unread messages you have and of course it keeps updating live. Clicking the widget will quickly display a screen full of unread messages for you peak through, from this screen you could quickly jump to any of your chat contacts/groups or hit the X to go back to your chat. If you switch to a new chat, you could go back to your previous chat by just hitting the back button. And all this will hopefully make you a better multitasker when it comes to chatting.
​
The App is tagged with an Alpha 1 version badge, I hope to upgrade that with your feedback coming through various devices. Also, I would like to emphasize that the App does NOT modify WhatsApp in anyway, just enjoy the enhanced experience with no worries of being banned.
Few Tips/Instructions for the App:
The App needs a 2 step setup (3 if you are on Android Marshmallow), which you need to do only once and never have to visit the Settings again.
When the App prompts to provide permission to create widgets, please go for "Alway allow...", this will let the App automatically get the widgets ready and display at right time, right place.
If the unread count badge obstructs any of your view elements (may be when keyboard is on,) you can drag the badge vertically to a new place (but restricted to right side of the screen for now.)
If you open the unread messages window, always try to use the X at the top right corner for faster re-access.
If you click any chat in the unread messages window, it will take you to the respective chat. Once you're done interacting, press the back button to quickly go back to the previous chat.

nice idea and thanks for making our lives easier!
but i would like to know the difference between this and the official whatsapp widget which also shows the amount of unread messages + preview of the text? .
is it due to the minimal design and it appears everywhere as a floating widget?

And yes, you're right. As described, it's about embedding and displaying the official widgets at the right time, right place and thus making 'our lives easier'.
Guys so far things look good for an alpha version, I plan to release a more concrete version soon, let me know if you have any minor feature requests that I could add at the last minute.
Update A: The Alpha 2 version is up on Google Play as well as here in the attachments. If you tried XDA Exclusive Alpha 1 version then you may skip Alpha 2 as it has no new feature addition. If you like the App, a rating on Google Play Store will be much appreciated!
And a few illustrative screenshots:
Hi,
I am using cloudyG2 3.3 on D802, and the app crashes.
How can I help?
Work fine on S5 Lollipop. Great Work!
Moving the Widget to the left side, would be great.

Okay, I have used the link that you have posted, thanks a lot. It really made my chatting experience easy!
Hi
Nice app !!! Really makes texting quicker...
Few suggestions I thought of :
1. Add an option to contact you via the app
2. Add an option to hide the window when there are no messages
3. Add an option to hide the window for a timed interval
4. Add an option to use a smaller window ?
Cheers!
