ROOT REQUIRED!!!
Step 1~ Use ROOT browser or any other type of ROOT file Explorer, head to Data/Data/Com.android.mms.

FINALLY~ I AM NOT Responsible for any problems you may cause to your phone be careful not to delete extra text or any thing of the sort as it could potentially cause problems!! Enjoy your extra little bit of battery being saved by text notifications not turning your display on !!

Or just use textra...

I own textra and honestly dont like it and for whatever the reason prefer the stock messenger in this case over Messenger or Textra. So this tutorial is quite helpful if I was rooting this phone. Quite sure people know that using another messaging app will stop your phone from turning on with notifications.
Thx OP :good:

This is off topic, and sorry in advance. Is there any way to make the stock app like textra while receiving a text? I.e only shows the name is the sender and not the text itself.

Go into the Messages settngs, under Notifications and turn of message previews? Hopefully that's what you're after...

That's similar to what I'm looking for, however it doesn't tell me who sent a message it just says new message.

From note 3 to note 5, they removed the sms reminder function from the settings. This same file can be used to add that back. I changed two values from 1 to 10 with great success. Pref_key_msg_reminder_alert Values in both string and boolean name.

Stock messenger disabled - still have 2 notification icons

I've searched a bunch in reference multiple notifications from 3rd party apps and I have found no solid solution.
I'm using Go SMS (previously used Handcent with same issue) and I'm receiving two notifications.
Before posting, PLEASE understand the stock messenger notifications are disabled and it has been frozen. Every response I've seen to this, someone suggests turning off stock messenger app notifications without reading that it has already been done.
I have included pictures. Go SMS is the blue icon. I took two screenshots, one with the stock messenger app enabled and one without it enabled to illustrate my point. The black icon is the mystery icon while the envelope is the stock app.
If anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it. If so, I hope this post clarifies this issue and helps out others. Thanks ahead!

have you tried rebooting? Force closing the application?
Yes, I have rebooted, reflashed my rom, uninstalled/reinstalled, cleared defaults, cleared cache, and even stopped using Handcent all together, switching to Go SMS instead. All still pose the same problem.
When I click on the mystery black icon, it takes me to my default text message application on Go SMS and did the same when I was using Handcent.

So when you turn your phone on those notifications are still stuck there correct? Have you tried flashing another rom? or flashing the same one again.
Oh unless your not rooted..
I am rooted, yes. I have reflashed my rom and seen no improvement. Unless I misunderstood your post, it's not that these are "stuck". What I'm saying is that I'm getting this weird black icon even after the stock text message app and its notifications are disabled.
Since clicking on the black icon takes me to my current (Go SMS) text message application, I'm further confused.
I have no idea lol. Im sorry.
Free bump.

[Q] missing contacts-anyone else?

I've been having issues with missing contacts since getting the hox. I'm familiar with the way contacts and android and gmail work, i've had an android phone since Nexus One era.
Anyway my problem is missing contacts. I added a contact yesterday, saved it. Used it this morning, this afternoon it was gone. Today i added a phone number and pic to a contact i've had over a year and now the contact is missing from my contact list. his name and pic is on my call log, i can access the contact from there, and edit it, but its nowhere to be found under the regular contact list. if needed to cal him after he was wiped from my call log i wouldn't be able to find him.
Any ideas? TIA
I have had this problem as well, it's annoying as ****... Also, one time I sent a msg to "bob" then it said I sent it to "dan" then "dan" replied. Then I tried again sending to "bob" and It said I sent it to "dan" but the first msgs weren't there. Then "dan" replied... But it was actually bob this time. Then I force closed the SMS app. Then went back and it showed my 2nd attempt with "bob"s reply. But the first attempt was sent to the wrong person....
Those are two of my only 3 complaints about the phone. The third is that the stock messaging app, the mms size limit is 600k
The rest of the phone is amazing. I love it to death

I'm scoring 5400 on Quadrant 2nd run with my 1.8ghz De bloated, ultra fast rosie, de-odexed, zip aligned, advanced power menu, Free Tether havin themed HOX..This is for sure enough to hold us over till we get a real unlock!! with this fast ass muthaducka. What more do you need? Devs just started doing it like this... Just gonna get better everyday!

Is there a way to do this?

I was using BlackBerry 10.2 the other day and noticed a few things I liked and was wondering if there's a way to get them on the Nexus 5:
1. Ability to click on toast notifications (say of a text message) and respond on the spot without leaving the app you're in.. is it possible to do this on the Nexus 5 anyway?
2. Text message previews/calendar events on the lockscreen.. is it possible?
3. Split calendar to show calendar on top, schedule on the bottom (see pic below) - Any app that replicates this or option in Google Calendar?

Thanks.
1. The SMS app Textra let's you reply from anywhere without exiting the app you're in. I'm sure there are plenty of others that do as well, but Textra is what I'm using.
2. Yes. If you drag the lock screen left you'll move to another screen with a '+' sign on it. You can then add widgets there.
3. There's likely a ton of calendar apps for this but Jorte comes to mind as one that has a split view like that.

Thanks! How would you rate Tetra in terms of fluidity and responsiveness? Also, when a message pops up, is there a slight 2 second delay when loading the pop up after the message is received? I tried a similar app in the past and it bugged me that there was a delay when I saw the notification in the notification tray.
Textra has been pretty good so far through a week of use. No major lags, stutters or anything like that. SMS and MMS work fine. I'd say its as good as or better than the old stock messages app.

[X1][5.0 transform]Knowledge Required and Ideas

Hello friends!
I need some ideas and help from your knowledge-full minds if you don't mind sharing some
My first one its a problem and it sounds like this:
I really need to see where this popup is located so I can disable it because its getting anoying. Everytime I send some big sms messages and I pass a number of sent mesagges/hour, this system popup appears and I have to dismiss it for every sms message.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Translation: SMS Bomber (the app i used to simulate my daily use of sms messages) sends a big number of sms messages. Do you allow this app to send messages?
And the radio buttons are "deny" and "allow"
I used every popup blocker/finder and i can't seem to find it. I manualy searched for it in system files, I took almost every .xml file one by one and searched for a clue but i can't seem to find it at all. I made a logcat but i can't seem to understand what that big amount of data is telling me. Does anyone have a clue about this kind of system popup and how to disable it?
EDIT: i found out what's causing it, and that is the 100 sms limit generic on any android smartphone, but in my smartphone its ducking 20 msg/hour. I tried all the ways, with 3-party apps, sql editor and manual adding but it still shows up. Any ideas?
EDIT 2: I fixed it. Looks like that on 4.2 you have to add the entry in the global db
The second one its not a problem, i just need some advice. I want to customize my stock rom to the max (there isn't a custom rom for my smartphone and I want to make it just like Android 5.0 with only root acces and stock recovery/rom) and i managed to modify the status bar with exposed, I took a launcher that was just like lolipop, i modified the ppi, I tweaked the guI with some xposed plugins but that is not enought because my popups, power menu and settings menu are the same. I read something about framework res but i am not sure about it and what does it do. Do you have any info that can help me? Maybe i will publish the rom for my smartphone after I tweak it a little bit if i manage to do it well.
The third one is a problem that bothers me from when i bought the phone. Whenever i plug in my smartphone a usb cable, my telephony signal dies. I can't receive/send any calls or sms messages in that time. What could it be?
The forth and the last one is about a thing that I want on my phone and i can't seem to find nothing. I want to wake/unlock my phone without using the power button (i have a 5" smartphone and the power button is located in the upper side) with a double tap or a gesture. I heard that i need kernel-level permisions and that i need a super-amoled or amoled screen (because of the black pixels that don't light up when they are black) but nexus 4 has "Touch control" app that lets it do the knock wake but it has IPS display like mine so i guess it is possible. Any ideas?
EDIT: managed to use Tap Tap App and it's ok
Sorry for the long post, here is the cat-tax and the potato-tax
And sorry for my english, it's not my first language

[Q] Twitter notification tone

Is any one else having problems picking a notification tone with Twitter? Every time I pick one it just goes back to default. Thank you for any help.
Yes I posted the same problems.. and now I'm getting no notifications
Download fenix instead or the new twitter from www.apkmirror.com

the latest APK does the same - reverts back to the default. One option my wife thought of was to change the default to silent and then change the notifications in the other apps.
There are many other apps but none will push the notifications outside of the app for the tweets of people you request because of the Twitter API.

I have the same problem. The button to save the notification sound setting is missing (and exiting the page doesn't automatically save the change).
any resolution on this subject?
No there's been a few updates but no fix for this on the s6. I reported it to twitter but I suppose it's not a very big issue really
Still not seeing any resolution on the latest build 5.69.0
Same issue on the note 5
Here we are 6 months down the line and they still haven't fixed it.
Set "default notification sound" in phone settings to the one you want for Twitter then change notification for messages to the one you want for SMS msgs.
Sent from my SM-G920F
The problem is there is no OK button on the notification sound dialog box on the GS6/Note 5.
My wife has a Note 4 and the same Twitter app version has an OK button which successfully changes the tone.
My Note 5 doesn't have an OK buton. Backing out is the same as the cancel button.
Note 5:

Same problem on the Samsung S7. This is really annoying. Please somebody fix this problem
Agreed. Seems like both a minor issue, and because it has lingered for so long, a very annoying one.
Even the Default/Messages setting workaround upthread is a no go for me, because there are apps (i.e. my local news app that send breaking news alerts) that give the Twitter sound with that setup.
Seems this should have been fixed a long time ago.

Download es file Explorer. Remove the app defaults for twitter/media storage. Open twitter and go to notifications. When it pops up the app to use choose es file Explorer and browse to ur customer notification. Works for me on s7
