I just recently switched to Go SMS from Handscent. Mainly because it has been taken off the market. Anyways, Go SMS is fine but I have one minor gripe. When receiving a picture and opening it, it opens in its own stupid viewing program. I hate it cause it downsizes the picture super small forcing you to hit the zoom button 5 times to see it. So far I just hit the save button then open Quikpic and view it there, but is there a way to make it just use Quikpic straight from the message like all other message apps do?
Settings/MMS settings/preserve image resolution. That might solve your image size issues. Don't know how to get it to open in another app for viewing. Suppose you could long press the image.
yeah that didnt help. I see handscent is back on the market maybe i will switch back.
I use go on my EVO and I dont notice any decrease in res I long press message then save attachment to sd

I didn't want to start another GoSMS thread, so:
Does anyone else use a custom ROM and your SMS notification no longer lights up after receiving a text in GoSMS? I used to get a blue LED, flashed ACS ICS v4, and now I can never tell when I get a text!
Thanks!

Ics is still under development this might be just a bug but just in case check your setting there are a lot of custom options for led settings

Ha! whoops thought I was in my EVO forum..
Same applies though could be a rom specific bug my wife has gosms with cleangb rom and no problems.. Tinker around with your setting for GO SMS and even double check native SMS settings for any conflicts

I have the same issues with my GO SMS. I'm also on ACS ICS V5.1. I think it's just specific to the rom itself. I just switched it back from blue to red led flash. It's not blue, but at least it still notifies me.

I have GOSMS and running ACS ICS 5.5. Changed my LED to blue and it lights up and flashes just fine. I'm sure it's in the settings but when I get a MMS, I recieve notification from GO SMS and the Stock Messenging app. I have GO SMS set up to turn off all other notifications but MMS still comes through on both.

Is there a way to make the screen come on when a text is received so that one would know who it is from before unlocking the phone? Something like how the notifications on the iPhone light up the screen. I think my hero before this would light up the screen when receiving notifications.
Also I have 2.2 OTA and would like to know if sense can be disabled on this version like it could on the first evo software?
Handcent SMS has that function

And if you want to stay with the stock messaging app, you can use sms popup from the market.

Tasker is a great choice
Another app that does this and a ton more is tasker. I have the app set to only turn on the screen when certain contacts text me.
I hated that with my Touch Pro, increased the amount of butt dialing when it was in my pocket, but to each his own.

Settings > Applications > Manage applications > HTC Sense (or maybe it's called Rosie? Can't remember and running Cyanogen so I can't check). Then clear defaults and force close. Now, when you press the 'Home' button, it will pop-up and ask what launcher you want to use (you need to install another one).
This does not really disable Sense, at least not in any real fashion. But it will get rid of and make unusable all of HTC widgets and such. Sense is still there, baked into the system, but you wont see it.
And yes, this will work whether you are rooted or not.
I haven't seen anyone ask this before, so I figured it was worth a shot.
On the TouchWiz Lockscreen, when you have a new text, you can pull it down to see the message. Now, I want to know if it's possible to, instead of having it go to the stock messaging app, having it go to Handcent... is there any way to do this?
Thanks,
Hasseo

I think you are talking about the pull down menu at the top that shows notifications - if so then you should only have to turn off notifications for the stock app and you will only get the handcent ones
the lock screen, I only get the handcent notifications - its not something that can be "pulled down" but you can set it to have the popup show and thats sorta the same - but its been so long since I used the stock messaging app the new design sucks and I stopped months ago when 2.2 came out the DK28 version and the messaging app was changed - I went to handcent and never went back - I dont know whats the matter with people but there is no reason why we shouldnt be able to change the stock messaging app back to the way it was before
if you are talking about the icon at the bottom of the screen - you can just change it with the handcent app
this is one of the major features in 2.2 IMO for these phones - the ability to change the bottom icons

He's talking about the Lockscreen. Like, when you get a new text, you can slide the unlock circle down to go straight to the new text, or up to just unlock. As far as I know, you can only do that with the stock messaging app, as it only appears if you have notifications enabled for it. It also is the same for missed calls.

anybody got black text on the notification bar? I got some black text, can't read it at all.. any help?
Which apps are you having the issue with? There could be a setting within the app to change it. Otherwise the offending apps are probably built on old api's and need to be updated.

at the moment, i got problem with Beejive only.. there's no such setting in the application.. Didn't stock ICS put white as default color?

I think so, but sometimes Apps do not use the default color ;-)
I have the same problem using other apps, just wait for an update (or contact the dev to tell him, he may not have ICS).
okay, thanks for the advice, i will try to email them..
but, is there anybody else have the same problem with the same application, which in this case Beejive?
Are you rooted? because I had something similar happen to me I had to do a wipe and it went away...
yeah.. i already rooted, even changing ROM.. but still, the problem persist..
I had the same problem yesterday when I received a couple of notifications from score mobile... All black, I couldn't see nothing I had no choice to click on them too see what team was playing.

Weatherbug did it to me. But I switched to 1Weather, so no more unreadable weather notifications.
Yo! I've been using SMS Popup for some time now and just realized that the led blinking rate and different colors have been working flawlessly ever since I updated my modem/baseband to UVLI3 with Ktoonsez kernel on WildChld's v70 rom. I know there is the Light Flow app, but I just find this a lot more simpler and more useful. Here's the play store link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.everythingandroid.smspopup&hl=en
Enjoy!
SICK!!! Thanks so much for posting this.
The notification (red circle that says 1) on the message icon stays even after I send the message through SMS Popup (yes I disabled notification on stock messenger). Does the notification stay for you guys?

You need to check "Mark Read" in additional settings.

Hrm Ive been using SMS Popup for 4 years with my G1, I have it of course installed on my S3.. but LED doesnt show up at all. Stock Rom. (Least when I use Test Notification) So how are you all getting it to work and do all colors work?

Not sure if the colors work on stock. At least they didn't when i was running stock. To test the colors, I had to send myself test texts.
Ok so on stock you say these wont work at all eh? Ugh.. personally I hate how stock even handles LED anyways.. seems to always cut off. I just dont wanna change roms till official JB comes out and roms are based on it.

Anyone using stock rom with LED stuff working?
Seems like a cool app. Just downloaded it. Hope to give it a good run.
Oh its a very good app. Been here since Htc G1 days. Why Google never added it as an option. No clue. Just wish LED light would work on stock.
Hey folks, I really want to use the stock messaging app because I want to be able to use the notification launching from the lock screen. However, I find that using the back button from within the app causes it to go back to the previous conversation, over and over. I have to hit it 10 times sometimes to finally get back to the main screen where I can select another conversation or start a new one. Am I missing something here? There HAS to be a better way to do this.
As far as I know that's classic gingerbread behavior. Bugs me too. ICS refines all that. ICS has many little improvements in areas like this that make the whole UI smoother. ICS should be here this month.

I get notifications on the ICS lock screen with Handcent.
The notifications work, but the slide to launch for hand cent never works right.
