Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but... ICH HABE EIN IDEE!! today while sitting in the car I was thinking, instead of us draggind down the notification bar, clicking the notification let's say like a text message, and going straight to that app, why can't we just drag it down, and start typing our response to the text? Im sorry if its confusing, but its like a shortcut, to a shortcut. Idk how anyone would go about doing this, but I think it would be pretty cool and very easy to use
Interesting ideal man, hey if someone could get this going it would be pretty bad ass

Handcent, chomp and go SMS all have quick reply functions where a pop up allows you to reply without opening the app. Your idea could be implemented by the notification launching this quick reply popup rather than the full app. You could approach the developers of these apps.

If you use Zeam launcher (free on Marketplace), you can set 'swipe down' to drag the notification bar. I use it quite often.
if you use launcher pro or adw you can use the swype gestures to do that
I did have adw, but I mean something so that you can type up a message straight from the notification bar, so you really don't have to go to the app.
good idea i hope people would develope it!

How does one change the 4 apps assigned at the bottom?
[phone, contacts, messaging, applications]
My brother downloaded Handcent and wants messaging to go to Handcent not the stock app.
Thanks

Change the ****ty TouchWiz interface
You cannot. The Epic4G has an older version of TouchWiz and does not allow it.
I recommend you install "AWD Launcher" or "LauncherPro". Both support that feature.
That's....lame...but alright thanks for the suggestion.

I'd suggest downloading ADW, lots of settings and you can get it to look like TouchWiz also.
An additional thing to consider, AMOLED screens suffer from "Burn-in". The most likely place it will happen is the status bar since it is always displayed. These other launchers have a setting that allows you to hide it (status bar), which will help.
Technically it would be more accurate to call it "Burn-out" but the burn-in term is carried over from CRT displays. The issue has a similar result. You will see a ghost of items that are on the screen for long periods.
Just download Handcent. When you hit the messaging icon at the bottom it will ask you if you want to use the stock app or Handcent (then you can check - remember this choice). Now whenever you hit the SMS icon (it will still appear to be the same...). It will open Handcent.

Tried it. Didn't work. Doesn't prompt me to select SMS client of choice. I even went into Application Mgmt and deselected Messenger as default. No go.
Any advice? Handcent is...er' was my fave SMS client.
Same thing happened to me. Handcent was the first app I downloaded, always use it, and I was never asked to choose a default.
Sad news on another front: The pre-release, advocate and seed devices were supposed to get the full version of Asphalt 5, and when I finally got around to downloading it today, it was the demo. I'm slightly miffed.
I'm looking for a messaging app that will get rid of the contact picture next to each text message and only show it at the top, and also allow for changing of the background and LED notification colors. Is anything like this available from any ROMs that I would be able to use/extract it from?
Pretty much your only choices are..
Handcent
ChompSMS
or Stock.
Those are the most popular. Handcent is very easily customized.
i hate how the handcent popup looks so dated. otherwise it is way more customizable than chomp.
I'd really prefer to use the stock app, I just really hate that the contact pictures show up next to each and every text. Hopefully someone comes up with a way to disable this, as I'm not smart enough to figure it out...
I agree with Kilgil27... I used to use Handcent, but eventually went back to the stock app because I would double and triple text my buddies for no reason. I went back to the stock and found it to be so much faster. When I went to uninstall Handcent I found out why... 6MB for a freaking texting app? Damn, son!
Hi All,
Hopefully a quick one for you. I have recently installed cyanogen 6.0.2.1 and I'm loving it so far.
However one thing I'm missing is the notification of unread messages on the message icon.
I have the "messages" shortcut added to my ADW bar, and when I receive a new message I was expecting it to have a little (1) next to it like some of the other OS I've tried.
Been through the options and can't seem to find anything, is there a way to add this functionality?
Thanks in advance for any help

ADWNotifier. That is obviously assuming you haven't edited the rom and are using ADW which comes with it...

Yep that's what I was looking for. Thanks
And (if) you switch to LauncherPro, there is a setting for it as well. [Not hijacking, just informing in advance in case you decide to switch launchers]
Well not necessarily hijacking at all...good on you tbh, cuz anyone who's using launcher pro will know now

can anyone please tell me how i add icon to my adw bar ?
i got it since it looked nice and i kinda like it but somehow other poeple are able to change the apps it shows as shown http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU2gGI8KVhY
so now my question is why cant i change the apps on my atrix?
Ok so i went and downloaded it. Its alright. Would be better if it had more versatility. Anyways, you swipe you finger over to the right and it will move you the left screen. Then the app drawer cube things comes down. You can then remove an app from the ring by dragging it towards the app drawer. Then there will be a blank cube on the on the ring. You can then drag an app from the app drawer onto the ring. However, unless you are using the default apps, you wont get the cool preview. As in if you are using goSMS instead of default messaging, you wont get the conversation list that pops up on the ring.
thats exactly what i did but still couldnt change them i guess it must be cuz of gingerblur or something are you on stock?
On of the most frequent things I is turn on my phone, unlock it, view a text and then dismiss the notification. Is there a way to make this process shorter? I want to be able to view my text on the start screen and if i choose to, dismiss it? I still want a lock screen, but i want to be able to view and dismiss my notifications from there as well. I have heard of a few apps where you can see the text on the lock screen, but none do it well or show the text with/on the lock screen. I have cyanogen mod and use lockscreen gestures to go immediately to text, but wish i could just swipe the notification away with on less step. If its not possible, this is a feature i feel would be a great addition to cyanogenmod.
I'd like to know about any solutions as well.
I'm thinking something akin to Lock Screen Info on iPhone, or the new iOS5 lockscreen.
I'm currently using WidgetLocker.

if you're using widget locker you could use Simple SMS widget and put that on your homescreen.
otherwise... maybe try miui?
I really like stock android.
Is there anything that can handle most, if not all notifications?
Not sure if I understand what exactly you want. If you use widget locker, leave the notification bar active so you can pull down and clear all notifications that way.
If you actually want to read the text just get a messaging widget such as colorize widgets or Simple SMS Widget, or Messaging Widgets and throw it on widget locker.
