Download sms popup from the market, disable the sms app notifications, enable the sms popup to notify and you can choose from different icons, then you don't even have to have the popup enabled. As long as its set to notify you. This of course is for people who don't want to use handcent, go sms, etc.

I see many people use chompsms and handcent application on their Hero. Why? I have downloaded the chompsms to try it out, but I had to check both applications to remove the "new message" notification in the status bar.
What is the advantage of applications like chompsms?
I can't say anything about ChompSMS or Handcent, because I don't use SMS enough to worry about using something "better" than the default app.
However, your first point was that you had to clear two notifications - in the settings for the standard SMS app, you can switch off notifications so presumably this is what you should do if you want to use another app for SMS.

It used to be on the CDMA Hero, that the default messaging app was buggy and drained our batteries severely. Anymore, it's a preference thing. Some of them have more features, a different look, etc.
For me, handcent has the advantage of a nice popup option built in and the ability to automatically resize pictures for MMS.
I use handcent sms because of the many settings-options you have and because of the blacklist function!
Standard app was just too.. standard
just installed Handscent sms, it looks identical to iPhone sms, lol.
SMS Popup is the best one I've tried.
I found the Handcent UI options weren't as sleek as the default app.
Was running handcent but when in landscape mode it crashes so switched to chompsms no more issues
i know i was reading it somewhere, but when installing a 2nd sms application like handscent or chomp, dual notifications occur.. is there way to remove that?
Go to defualt messages app. hit menu turn off notifcations.

Tried that and it doesn't work. I get both the Handcent and the envelope icon. It is getting annoying.
I use to use 'SMS Popup' to have a popup box for txt messages where I could quick reply or dismiss messages. With all 2.2 roms it seems that this programs 'close' button no longer marks messages as read. Anyone have a favorite SMS addon that has a popup box with quick reply and dismiss kind of features?
I don't like Chomp or Handcent. I'd prefer something that doesn't take over the native messaging app but is just the pop up stuff.
Anyone use one successfully with our beloved Epics?
the close button marks read for me
Try "SMS Notifier".

somewhat related, if you use launcher pro, there are dock notifications you can use and assign to a swipe gesture on your dock icons. (menu, pref, dock settings, dock notifications; then long press dock icon, swipe gesture action)

Try Go SMS on froyo, I started using it and it works great. Also has the pop ups where you can respond
thx, will give it a shot. I actually tried SMS notifier and that didn't clear them either. I'm 100% sure I turned off the native messaging notification too. Maybe this is one of those weird glitchies that a wipe and flash takes care of? Trying Go SMS now... thx.
just noticed something weird and maybe it's a bug of sorts. When I text myself from an email account (which is how I've been testing) it doesn't seem to work. but when I text from a cell I think it works. Oh well, I'll either follow up with a dev or not : )
I am gettin this notification for txt and new emails even when i turn off ALL txt notifications does anyone know what app is causing this?
how did you get the Cyanogen symbol as your button in the launcher?

Looks like the stock messaging app notification. Disable from settings in the app.
already did that nogo
That's the stock sense SMS icon. Did you do a full wipe????

Check your handcent notifications. I think it has an option to use that icon for messages.
Also, when you pull down the notification bar, and select that message, what happens? It should take you to the app causing the notification.

takes me to stock txt app and with default and handcent notifications turned off it still comes up did full wipe... its not there guess gotta install apps one at a time see which one is causing it

I'm using Nova Launcher Prime and Tesla Unread.
My email app unread notification badge works, but it doesn't work for my Google Messages SMS App.
There isn't a native unread notification badge counter in our settings, is there?

Be sure that you go into the TeslaUnread app and turn on Notifications.

Thanks, it was turned on, but I think what happened was that it wasn't jiving with an icon I was using on the homescreen.
The native icon within my app drawer showed the unread, so I just removed the homescreen icon.
As much bloat as Sammy put in here, there are actually far more tuning features in the os than I would have expected.
I'm still with the OP on Nova/TeslaUnread,
but I thought I saw a built-in notification badge function I may try at some point.
I have Nova Prime but I have been trying out the stock TouchWiz launcher. Is there a badge count in settings? I am wondering if Google Voice icon supports it as I am using that for messaging
Inaccurate SMS/MMS Badge Count
I have a OnePlus 6T running Android 9.0.5 (OxygenOS). I downloaded Evie launcher and i've had inaccurate unread badge counts for my SMS app since then; it seems every time a new group thread is started, the number goes up by 1 and never falls below that (eg, if i have 4 "unread" messages and a friend texts me, the number goes to 5 until i read it, but if i get a new group chat 5 becomes the new minimum number).
I've gone through every message and thread; i've deleted multiple group threads which are finished; I've tried clearing the cache and i've downloaded Textra which has the same problem.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get the count accurate?
Does anyone know how to get the missed phone call or text message indicator to show up on the App icon? Example: On my S7 on the Text message icon, it would show a red circle with a number in it showing how many unread text messages I had, and on the Phone Icon it would also have a red circle showing the number of missed phone calls I had, and a red circle with the number of unread emails I had on the email App icon. Does this phone even have that option or support that.. -? I'm using the same Text messaging app I had on my S7 called "Textra" and on this Essential I could have 10 unread texts and you would not know by looking at the app. Thank you for any help or advice
I have the same question.

I didn't buy this phone yet, but planning to get it soon. So if you want icon badge as you explained above, then you can do one of the following:
1) Install another launcher such as Nova, Action or other. I used Nova Launcher and the option is there. (I just don't remember if you need premium ver. or not)
OR
2) Wait until Android Oreo(8) is released for your phone. This should add support for that unless Essential removes the feature(they shouldn't)

Thanks. Nova Prime is required for notifications. For only $4.99, it's a truly amazing app (must-have, even?) app!
