It looks like you have to do the selections in their app and it doesn't use the contact file. Any apps that use the already existing interface?

Anyone else? I'm not looking for full screen, just big enough that is visible.

Real Messaging!!

Okay so I don't have a xoom but I have the g slate no forum for that right now so I'm posting this here. The free amazon app of the day is text plus and its better than google voice to text. It pops up on your screen with a reply box has push notifications and sends your text plus number to your facebook friends or your gmail contacts. I just got it on my g slate and I'm texting my vibrant it seems to be working great and its free so why not try it out right?
Anyways its in the amazon market today for free so go get it and try it out.

Not sure what those apps do because I've never used them but this app gives you a phone number and allows you to text as if your tablet was a phone so its not I'm its text and it has a pop-up notification when you recieve a text. So basically it feels a lot like a native text application. Rather then an instant messaging client

So you can call that number from land line as well?

No, it gives you a number and you text as if that was your actual tablet number.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
meh.. useless in that case... hard enough for me to get my friends to test to my gv instead og my voice number... having a different number for my tablet sounds very confusing.
If your friends are that lazy I feel bad for them. It's really simple to add a contact to an existing one and text that number if you don't get a response from the phone number

[Q] Help - How to change background color of call options

Good morning everyone, I am new user and just purchase the Nexus 4 ...
I would like to make one question ...
When I get calls a black bar appears with the answer options ... how make to that bar stay transparent? Is there any MOD?
Because I leave most of the contacts with photos in high resolution and then it covers the whole picture.
Thank you
Ha! You read my mind. I was going to ask that question also. Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you, Lu. But if anyone is reading this, and knows of a solution, please answer in this thread
Thanks!

No option but to use a custom ROM or full screen caller id like apps.
Stock ROM is still having this bug.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
got it
Until now this was the only thing that bothered me was that Stock ROM 4.3 ..
Anyone else?
Is it custom ROM specific? Don't recall seeing full screen caller ID on Cyanogen or AOKP

QuickWindow case mod?

I know not many people have the quickwindow case but wouldn't it be neat to see what its possibilities are? With the right Dev and creative thinkers, it could make people want to get the case. Its just so bland stock. It would be nice to see a mod you could flash or app to install that would allow a customizable window when closed.
Also the ability to lock and unlock my screen just by closing my cover. Very convenient.

This would be great. I tried paranoid android but one of the things that took me back to stock for now was the fact that the cover doesn't work with the Rom.
There's also so much you could do with it. I would really like a snapshot of whatever notification comes through. Kind of like the Moto x notifications but modded for our cover window.

I just want to read the messages from small screen outside the case. It will be so awesome with that.

If anyone can tell me where the files are that are activated when the case is closed and opened I can make the mod myself. I just don't even know where to begin lol

Stock will probably never allow that. I don't understand why this doesn't have more attention. These type of cases are now available for 3+ well known smart phones. I figured by now someone would have made a way to customize these new features.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
This is crazy. I have posted about this and no devs even comment on this topic. Is it difficult or are they just not interested? I can't imagine why they wouldn't be. Being able to read and discard messages. Seems like a no brainer to me. Can someone in the know explain why this isn't happening? I mean I am not trying to force anyone to work on this, but I would have a little peace of mind just gathering some info from all these smart people on why it is not happening.

[REQUEST] FB Messenger floating head style notifications for SMS

Specifically something that emulates the ability to 'open' a head and reply without entering the app.
I've had Floating Notifications for a little bit on my phone and it's just not what I'm looking for. I also used to use SMS Popup years ago which was quite good but I'd rather something less obtrusive that lets me chose when to see the popup rather than it just appearing and interrupting whatever I'm doing.
Is there anything out there like this? I'm sure I head of something when they first added it to FB Messenger but I can't seem to find anything.
EDIT: I've just installed SMS Extension but I'm not sure it's what I'm looking for.

New Hangouts V2.1.1

New hangouts version 2.1.1 has been released. Doesn't seem to be a major update, mainly bug fixes I imagine. Here's the DL link.

I have noticed, on Sprint with this version I can now see the APN option in the SMS settings menu. Have never had that appear before, there are TONS of options for Sprint/SPCS now
Does anyone have this issue where you can't see the avatar of the person who texted you?

Still have the problem with peoples contact picture not showing up in the notification window
The only thing irking me is the fact that randomly when I go into sms conversations it'll show the hangouts bubble on the bottom left - greyed out with the word "sms" in it... Drives me nuts cause the text is also in a weird spot... If it at least centered it wouldn't annoy me as much.

You have to manually set the photo in contacts again to update for notifications.
