I prefer " Google Messenger " for texting, over the stock Messages that the Note 5 uses by default. But I am running the ' Dark Material ' theme, and installing Google Messenger is all white, and sort of blinding after everything else being so nice and dark with the theme.
Does anyone have an .apk of an inverted or dark themed Messenger ? Can I use one found on a different phone, like a themed Messenger from the Nexus 5 or 6 ? or does it need to be specifically made for the Note 5 ?
Also one other question. How do I set Google Messenger to be the default text app ? I know when installing ti the first time, it asks if I want to use it as the main sms app. But when I would miss a text, I still shows the Samsung Messages Heads Up notification on the location.

They both have heads up notifications. So if you're using Google Messenger as your main text app then you are seeing Google Messenger heads up notifications. But if not...go to the Google Messenger app....then to settings...and it will be right there at the top

Thanks. And do I need to do anything to completely stop the stock Samsung Messages from showing Heads Up ? I basically want that app turned off, and just use Google Messenger only. I want Google Messenger to show up on the lock screen only.

once you activate google messenger as your default sms....it will totally deactivate your stock messenger in every way. Now if you want google messenger heads up deactivated....i dont think you can lol I could be wrong though
did you try tbo

Yes that worked, thanks.
Does anyone have a dark mod / inverted Google Messenger .apk ?
Messenger so much better than stock but would love a dark theme
Sorry to hijack the thread, OP. Are you able to send and receive MMS through Google Messenger? Thanks.
I too am looking for a blacked out theme
Ill try to theme out the latest google messenger apk. Itll most likely be a material dark gray color with white text.

Heads up notification will get rid of all pop ups but I think you have to be rooted. I use it and it works well. For dark themed apps use Darth stalkers rom
Team blackout has dark Google messenger http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283828

I've noticed that there is no unread message count on the Google Hangouts and stock email app icon. Any way to get this? Or do I have to use a different app.
I'm having the same problem. No unread count on gmail or hangouts. No LED notification either.
I don't recall the there ever being unread counts in stock android. Have to use third party launcher like Nova.

Notifyer+ should work. Issues with it is i don't think it lines up with the new Google Experience Launcher yet. If you are using another launcher you can adjust the height and size of the icon and title to try and match the others on the screen. Works great on most launchers, but haven't tried it on the N5 yet.
So have been using nova launcher with tesla unread. Nova launcher isnt fully ready for kitkat so have just been using stock launcher on my N5. I really miss having an unread count by gmail and now since hangouts is used for texts I would like an unread count there too.
I tried "missed it!" with no luck... unsure on what else might be kitkat compatible.
If someone could give me some suggestions I would appreciate it.

Same here, was just about to start the very same thread lol
I would like to get nice clear notifications on my icon for things like Facebook, Hangouts, individual email accounts, missed calls etc.
Not found anything that really works.
Hi All,
My very first post on XDA forums, i have used these forums for great help in the past.
I'm a little stumped at the moment, i am using Dodol Launcher on my Nexus 5 with Lollipop OS, i'm about 90% happy with the whole launcher, just need to know if there's any good notification badge applications out there for Ebay? so when i get notifications in Ebay, the badge app icon with notification count comes up on the homescreen icon? An app which lets me select which apps show homescreen unread badge counts on the icon would be perfect!
Also, is there a good email app which supports multiple email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo etc) all in one, and will combine the unread messages as a badge app count on the homescreen icon?
Any suggestions would help, please don't mention another launcher as i'm quite happy with Dodol at thei stage.
Thanks!
The email app you need is my mail. I use it and it is superb. Takes all accounts plus you get an email account from them which just uses your phone no as a pass word so can only be used on your phone. Makes for really good names. As you put say your name then its just @MY.com. I've Gmail Hotmail etc on it and it takes nova notification badges

I have just bought the All-In-One Carbon watchface which is great and very customisable. You can show 5 apps along the bottom and click through directly to each of them. It also shows a notification e.g. on the Messages app if you have a waiting text. My problem is that I use Gmail rather than the native Email used by Samsung on my Note 3. I do get Gmail notifications on the watch in the normal way but I would like to see the notification on an app on the main watchface if possible. Would that mean I have to use Email rather than Gmail on my phone? If so, I'll leave it as I much prefer Gmail.
Thanks.
Hi.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but is it not possible to customise the chat bubble colours in the Samsung sms messenger app? I can't see any options in the app to change it from the default orange and grey
Only way is to download a theme from the store. I use the pixel one.
