Is there a way to prevent display if sms messages in the lock screen? Or do I have to go to the ugly stock lock screen?
Thanks!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I've gone and replaced the stock SMS with Handcent and turned off notifications for messages in the stock app. Handcent really does kick butt anyway. Win-win.
OK guys, this one has been bugging me for a while now so i am asking for help. Im looking for a way to keep sms private on my phone. Currently I am using the privacy box in handcent sms (which is great for the most part) except for the fact that the notification system in the privacy box doesnt exactly work in my favor. If you turn notifications on and you recieve a notification it pops up the prompt for you to enter your password to the privacy box ( i can hear her saying "so why do you have a privacy box huh???) the other options for notifications are either for trackball light up or led notifications (which were obviously lacking). I just turn notifications off however theres obviously no way to know when youve recieved a reply.
So im sure someone out there has the same issue and im wondering how you guys work around it. any input helps thanks
just lock the phone with password....
use go sms pro. multiple privacy and notification options. and it's free.
Peronally I use Call Blocker app by NQ mobile, It has a lot of functionality including a private space which is password locked, and contains the SMS and call logs from the people you hae added to that list.
Personally, I dont use handcent or go sms' privacy option, i dont know why lol
however, i use app protector / other apps which locks multiple apps, to lock my personal stuffs like gmail, whatsapp
also i use GO SMS and enable the "privacy notification" mode so it only appears a logo at the top and tell you "new message" but without any information about the message. no sender, no content
i recommend you use my method too! hope i helped and happy messaging

Use Application Protection https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ruimaninfo.approtect&feature=search_result
I'm using this amazing lock screem notification app called NILS located here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget&hl=en
It gives me the exact display I'm looking for in the lock screen. However the Touchwiz missed call and text communication notifications with the big ugly gray box are overriding it which is very irritating! I would much rather just use the NILS application instead of any other widgets.
I tried using lockscreen policy to disable widgets but it will not work. Also checked "disable preview" for text messages but it still shows the notification.
1. Is there any way to prevent the screen from turning on when theres a notification from messaging ?
2. The privacy feature when disabled shows your text message on the lock screen ,Turning it off the message details get turned off in the drop down bar as well.
I noticed they added custom notification tones for ringer and messaging in the contacts app so I want to stop using SMS popup but these things are rather annoying.
Loving my 6T, but the only feature in really miss is the ability to reply from texts from the lock screen.
I tried chomp SMS but was having issues. Can't find another app that'll allow that.
Any other apps or tweaks that will prevent me from having to unlock the phone every time a text comes in???
