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?

Are you looking for notification sounds for only incoming text messages?

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.

I don't have the smartwatch yet, but what icon is missing? Is it possibly related to a function that could be toggled on or off in the settings menu?
not sure. I woke up and had a hole in that spot. when I rearrange icons, the hole is still there. there also used to be an icon at the top. it was a white circle with three dots inside next to the battery. it's no longer there either.

I don't know where your icons have gone but the circle with the dots appears when you have an unread message. Scroll down the app drawer and you will see the message. Once you have read the message the circle is gone.

no. this is my first time owning a smart watch. i think the icon that is missing is the events icon. i didnt use that app anyways so its not affecting me any. its just that spot where it used to be cannot be used, its just a hole. lol only app i have that is an original smartwatch app is the SMS composer. might have to delete and reset watch, and reinstall.

You should first check your smartwatch application on the phone. I've got the same problem with runtastic app, which deleted from the phone, but (by unknown reason) not from the smartwatch app. And because of that I have empty place on my smartwatch 2
I have looked but haven't found any notification forwarder using the Android 4.3 notification service instead of the accessibility service. Should improve notifications on watch I hope. Does anyone know of any SM2 that's using this for 4.3?

Just found Wristn, it can be registered as a NotificationListenerService and an Accessibility service also. I'm going to test it for a few days but it looks promosing. If it isn't then I'm going to write one because it is really just a few hundred lines of code.

Watchit is the best. It now supports notification service and is the only one which allows to block unneeded notifications from Smartwatch itself.

Yes, watchit now supports notification service. But it still just picks up what is shown in notification bar. Ie when I have multiple Hangouts ongoing it will just show that I have x messages in that and that hangout. I thought that it was possible to intercept the notification itself and send that to the smart watch not being dependant on what the notification bar shows.

Both these two applications can push notifications from all apps on the phone. WatchIt is free, ASP is not, but it is more powerful, since it has Tasker integration, and can do more.
Which one are use using, and what are the pros/cons over the other?
Are there other alternatives?
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I don't want to get eye cancer so I'm using WatchIt. (Augmented SmartWatch really looks awful to me.) For Tasker, there's the Tasker Smart Extension and WatchIt! will also display notifications from Tasker.
If you want to do more complex stuff, you can always use Remote Widget and Zoom for Tasker do use interactive widgets from the SW2.
Yes, the look and feel of Augmented Smartwatch is ugly...
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
For some reason Augmented Smartwatch causes my S4 to lock up. I've worked some with the developer, and I even reset my phone. My s$ locks up for about 20 seconds when a notification comes in, and my watch goes blank. Eventually the notification pops up on the watch. From what little I have been able to use it, it actually is too much IMHO. Watchit! is simple and generally what I need.
I'm very want to use ASP because of ASP's powerful function and full screen show notification when running app on watch.
But it can't show Full-width characters well. (like "ｃｈａｒ")
While showing long string of Full-width, it will only show one line and beyond the watch, but not word wrap.
May ASP author can fix this error, certainly i will purchase this app and using as well.
Watchit seems to be ok, but I did have a problem with that. My Note 10.1 (touchwiz?) / A4.1.2 started talking back to me when the easy accessibility was on for Watchit (and talkback was off). I think I managed to fix it by the way i found it from another discussion: need to clear data from google text to speech app. (When the easy access is still on for Watchit - otherwise it will keep talking back). Seems to work great!

Watchit
I bought the ASP application, but I do not use .... Why?:
1.- Text is infamous
2.- I have not gotten to see pictures of Whatsapp
3.- Notices of whatsapp can not be selected for viewing (Watchit can)
4.- Weather is bad
5.- Watchit.... Free
6.- ASP....4,99 €
Undoubtedly watchit
Galaxy note 1, With J. B. 4.1.2 and SmartWatch 1
Have to agree with the majority here, i tried ASP but its sooo ugly and takes a bit of configuration, watchit works well, quickly and does what you want.
Both apps arnt perfect but free vs £3 is a no brainer
tbh alot of things are workarounds for what sony could develop and implement but havnt
If the galaxy gear wasnt so damn expensive, i'd have one instead
Seems like I need to clear data from Google text-to-speech everytime I restart the phone - otherwise my phone is talking back to me when scrolling screens. Well, a minor bug... I rarely shutdown/restart the phone anyway. Some other thing I notice that WatchIt (or sw2? not sure) interacts with developer sections choices somehow, mixing the settings so that phone doesnt know if they are turned on or off and you need to restart your phone. (Note 10.1 / A4.1.2)
When compairing SW2 and Gear, Im so lucky that Samsung didn't update my N8000 before Xmas (Gear needs A4.3 to run), I would have bought Gear aswell. BUT... SW2 looks much better than Gear, and it feels great on your wrist (a metal band) and I couldnt even wear Gear at work (water/chemicals/not wearable with a suit or better clothes either). I don't need functions like "talk to the hand!" or similar.. Just plain, classy-looks watch to notify me: phones, sms, etc... because I keep my phone (N8000) all the time in a bag, and i rarely even hear when it rings or get messages. And if I heard it rings, i didnt know who's calling.
SW2 and Gear were almost the same price: 199 euros (metal band) / 249 euros, so it wasn't the "money issue". The quality and style of SW2 is impressive and I feel lucky that I didnt bought Gear. Thank you Samsung you didn't update my device! :victory:
Wristin is another alternative.

Two things with Watchit! and every other sw2 notification app I've tried. 1st, you can't mark the notification as viewed on the phone, when checked on the watch. And secondly, text grouping. Would be nice to have each contacts in their own thread. If anyone knows of solutions to these or another app which has these features it would be much appreciated
Cheers

Is there any SW2 notification app that does this? I'm thinking about replacing my Pebble with the Sony but if this functon is missing, I probably wouldn't.
On the Pebble, there's an app called Notification Center that allows you dismiss the phone notification with one button and keep the phone notification with a press of the other button.

In the description for that app, it only mentions that your watch notifications will be marked as read when you turn on your phone display. Doesn't work the other way around I don't think.

I am using "WatchNotifier" as well. Great App.
If you only need whatsapp notification on your smartwatch then you can try WhatsApp Smart Notification. It also displays the contact picture and UI is good.
I am using Notification Pro for Smartwatch and I love it. The support is fantastic as the developer updates it very often.
I haven't been able to find this Notification pro on the Play Store. Can you give us any pointers?

I was used to hide unwanted sms by hide sms and calls apps, but none of them works in 4.4+, probably because of high priority of hangouts.
It wont work even when I change default SMS app to 8sms, handscent SMS, etc...
Incoming SMS still appears in default SMS app and is not hidden.
Any solution please?

Yea, but I want to use one default sms app for standart sms. And for SMS from people I want to hide I need to use for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartanuj.sms
This app allows me hide SMS and Calls from just exact people I want to. But problem is, that SMS which shoud be hidden is still shown also in the default SMS app.

Wipe data of Titanium in settings, delete Titanium folders, uninstall/reinstall. If that doesn't work, try fixing permissions and wiping cache and dalvik. Sorry you're having trouble.

So finally I solved this issue...maybe it helps someone.
Hide it pro and most of other apps dont work, they dont hide SMS of choosen people, because of SMS high priority in 4.4+ Android.
So doesnt metter if you freeze Hangouts or not. Any other SMS app you will install will show SMS which should be hidden.
Solution:
1 - Forbid the Hangouts to send SMS
2 - Install Hide SMS&Contact -Private Text https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkyeah.privatespacefree&hl=cs
3 - Replace default SMS sender by Messaging Classic - 4.4 Kitkat https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkyeah.message
Now SMS hiding by "Hide SMS&Contact -Private Text" app is working.
For now its the only one solution and the only working SMS hide app I found. I tried many of them, but only this one works.
If youll find any better, let me know - this one is far away from SMS hiding app I was used to use.

Thanks for this! I was looking for one for the last two weeks as well. I was happily using Hide It Pro in my Galaxy Nexus before but now in my Nexus 5 it got screwed up. I hope the developer updates that app soon.
In the last week I was using an app called Private Place - there was no need to change the default SMS app (it was Hangouts). It worked pretty well. But the trial ended today (a week) and the Pro version costs $7 - which I might consider after checking out Hide SMS & Contact app you posted (the Pro version of that is cheaper at $3.6; but I couldn't yet find the limitations in the free app).
Do keep posting about any new apps you can find.
