I don't know if anyone has used the gs5 but one of the features I loved from it was a quick pop up for sms that you could reply in and send off without closing the app you are in. It was very handy say if you are playing a game or don't want exit g+.
I know there are some apps on the play store called pop up but they are ugly and not very smooth. And when you reply in them it still shows as an unread on your messages. So all around they are far from perfect.
I was wondering if anyone had seen anything like this for xposed or maybe just a root app. Let me know if you see anything like this because I would love to have it on the m8.
Thanks guys

Oddly enough the verizon sms app does that, and you can sync it on multiple devices not just your phone. I have mine synced to my tablet and computer ?

Really? That's awesome. I'll check it out. I love the stock htc app for messaging but if i have to live with the Verizon app for the at feature I might as well try it out. Thank you for the heads up

There is a setting in Sense 6 Toolbox under Various Mods - Popup Notification that is similar to the S5 feature. I use it all the time. You can make the back ground blur when you receive the notification and it looks nice.
I know you may want to use the stock messaging app but the handcent app does this and I love it. I rarely go into the actual app. Here's the link if you want to check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handcent.nextsms
Just tried textra and I think it's one of the best sms apps there is. Has nice popup and reply features
Try go sms… has pop up window for new msgs like u said, doesn't leave it as unread msg ,and is extremely customizable and theme-able
If you use gpe or aosp Roms you can use heads up notifications.
I like this app it's called Heads-Up Notifications https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=codes.simen.l50notifications

I am also using the popup like you are but I have one question. I haven't seen anywhere in the toolbox where you can get a quick reply like cm and a few aosp roms have built in. Basically where it doesn't take you to the message app, it sends it via the popup message. Know what I mean?

I recently installed the newest paranoid android ROM and im loving it. It uses the stock google messaging app and there isnt an option to enable recurring notifications of a missed text, call or MMS.
im looking for a way to do this. Ive already tried a few things.
1. handcent - i dont like the app.
2. GO SMS - i dont like the app.
pop up notifier was suggested, but im looking for a different route before falling back on that.
any help? thanks in advance.

You should give NoLed a try.
It was initially thought for phones without notification LED, but has also the features you want.

My google hangouts icon still uses the gTalk icon. I've tried uninstalling the app and then reinstalling it through play, but it still comes back with the Talk icon. I've also deleted cache and data for the app.

No. My nova Icon theme is set to default. But that got me thinking: I tried installing another launcher and it has the correct hangouts icon. So I uninstalled nova and reinstalled it, and it is working again. Not sure what the issue was there.
hangout sux....video call doesnt work on mine...if i uninstall updates i have no video camera to make a video call.
I just wanna chime in on the Hangouts bashing.... I can't believe how much they ruined this app.. I mean, instant messaging is pretty simple right? Why change it? Now sometimes I won't get an IM for 45 minutes, I can't see who's online, it FC's all the time... Crap crap crap. I restored my old TiBu backup of the original talk. If anyone else want's it let me know..

If your notifications are coming that late and you were getting a lot of FCs, I'm thinking it is a problem with your setup. I have had neither of those issues from the moment it updated and haven't really heard it from other people either. As far as online status, I'm a little split. I liked having it, but on the other hand, we don't have an online status for text messages either and we don't get riled up about that, so I am adjusting to just sending a message when I have one to send. If it is urgent and they don't reply I'll contact them a different way. I see no reason to roll back to talk.
no dice on this?
i want to find out the same
i think it may be something to do with us running custom roms

Same issue here on stock nexus 4, i uninstalled it with titanium but no change. Also it doesn't work, i tried to send an im from my girlfriends phone but i didnt received anything.
Using Nova, menu/nova settings/look and feel/icon theme/ choose default. That worked for me to change hangout icon.

My problem was from nova launcher, i had Talk icon in nova, but hangouts in trebuchet. Solution: reinstall nova and do a set everything manual, don't use backup or you will end up again with the talk icon.
Just long press the icon - edit - click the app icon, then choose another icon on Nova Launcher. Easy once you've done it once and know the trick.

It's not a problem with my setup. Talk works flawlessly.
The things is this isn't text messaging though. This is instant messenger. A completely different format. It's nice to be able to see who's online to talk and not otherwise engaged. You don't get that in text messaging.

But they actually meant this to be like talk and messages combined. They should be incorporating SMS into it soon.

The biggest issue I have, and maybe I'm just over looking it, but I can't change my status. I liked being able to be invisible like a ninja or busy if I didn't want to be bothered and so on. Running Goodness 10.0.3 if that means anything.
Optional Icon Solution
If anyone is looking to change the icon and happens to own tasker, it is a very easy fix. Just create a task to open hangouts and pick any icon you want. Then create an icon that simply runs the task. If you own the app, it should be pretty easy to figure out.
Is anyone else annoyed/confused by the notifications presented by Hangouts?
Notification icons shown in the status bar from a text message or an actual Hangout message look the same, and you can only tell its a text message by sliding the down the status bar. Maybe a silly a reason to complain, but it would have been a lot more convenient if a different icon was implemented for a text message vs. a hangouts message.
Any known workaround to this? Or will we have to wait until Google decides to look into it.

I hear you - you can set diff notification sounds for each though. Or use Lightflow to distinguish colors between a hangouts chat and SMS/MMS

This is exactly what i do.
The idea was that you use the same app to message people. You just open hangouts and message, and the phone will send the message whatever way works best (Hangouts if it can, sms otherwise.)
I'm a fan of it personally but I could see why a lot of people wouldn't like it.

You can try looking into alternatives for an SMS app. I use Textra and it is so much better than using the hangouts for SMS. I like to keep my hangouts separate from my texting and the Textra UI is very nice and clean.

Although I like that Hangouts is a unified messaging app (I still think there can be tweaks to make it much better) - I might have to try Textra out of sheer curiosity. I have seen numerous people cite this app and say nothing but good things about it so naturally i'm curious.

Yeah that's basically what I've been doing so far, but like I said its more of "convenient" feature that would make hangouts noticeably better, at least in my opinion it would

I understand your POV on it but on the flip side, I think creating another icon might just undo the direction they are moving towards with hangouts. Maybe a variation of the hangouts notification with an envelope in the middle to distinguish between the two. Only issue is, when you get a chat AND sms then you run into the issue of having 2 different icons pop up for the same app technically. Unless there's a way it can switch between the two and look like a loop movement if you know what I mean

I never really thought of it as issue to have two notifications for the app, but like you said it might not go along with what they're trying to do (unifying everything). But if they were actually able to loop it like that, it would plain awesome. Maybe a unlikely feature for now (especially if it were to come from Google), but maybe some future devs are willing to work on it... would be amazing if they did :good:

my THOUGHTS EXACTLY...I just wanted to get someone's wheels churning, since I don't know how to do this myself :fingers-crossedDevs, read this - I command you) lol
Hi there,
Since the new update of Facebook Messenger, the functionality of sending texts (SMS) has been removed. As I don't like holding on to an older version that will get outdated one time, I'm wondering if there is any text app like it.
I have searched dozens of pages on Google, including threads on xda, but none seem to have what I'm looking for. The closest I have come to is GO Sms (which I'm using now) and SMS Ninja (I even tried Paranoid Android with it's Halo functionality) Both SMS apps have the same chathead-like popup of FB Messenger which you can press to open, but once you close the message, the popup is gone.
In Facebook Messenger, the chathead-popup stays on the screen until you drag it to the bottom to delete the overlay from the screen.
Do you happen to know an app that provides me with what I'm looking for?
Thanks in advance for your time!
I'm afraid I don't have an answer but I'm curious why you want it to stay open? I never used the Facebook messenger and am wondering if I missed some functionality.

What I like about Facebook Messenger is that I can open the chathead, read the message, and don't have to reply instant because the popup would close. I can just close the bubble, go on with what I was doing and reopen the bubble whenever I want to reply
Ok, thanks. Not sure if that would suit me or not as I've never tried it. I avoid Facebook on principle although I grudgingly created an account some time ago.
Maybe you could give Portal a try. Personally I'm more interested in the multi-window function it provides.

Ninja SMS popups work almost identically to Facebook's chat heads. You just have to click the collapse arrow instead of the close button.

Oh I didn't know that! Although I find the popup layout of Ninja SMS pretty ugly, I guess I'll have to live with that for now.
I'm gonna give Portal a shot as well once I get home, although I'm not sure if it has the permanent popup functionality that I'm looking for.
Thanks to both of you for your helpful replies! More suggestions always welcome
Hey guys, letting you know what solution I'm using now:
Textra is a great, simple, text app that uses popups with quick reply. It doesn't have sticky, permanent chat heads, HOWEVER. It does have the option at the popup 'Leave it', which leaves a notification in the drawer. Whenever you press the notification, the popup opens again (you can keep doing this).
It's like a chathead that doesn't take up space! Awesome!

Don't forget you can (kind of) change the appearance of the popups! Go to settings, choose theme. I use Holo Light just because it's simple. I agree that it could use some extra customization features. It seems like the devs do a really good job of responding to user feedback though, so maybe that'll be fixed in an upcoming version (fingers crossed )

I've heard awesome things about Textra as well, I might have to give that a go.
I just updated my phone to 5.0 and while there are many cool new features, I'm not a fan of the pop up notifications that appear "banner" like across the top of the phone.
Not really noticing this with all apps but Facebook Messenger and Hangouts both have this. I tried checking sound/notifications and it does give you the option to disable notifications entirely for certain apps but thats not what I want. I'm simply looking to remove this banner pop up that appears no matter what youre doing, watching video, email, etc....
There is no way by default probably will become a custom ROM feature or an app to help.

I think it's lame that Google would have this feature without an option to disable it. It's annoying during a video to have a banner pop up displaying your new message across the top.
