With Sense and CM10.1 on the Evo 3D, I could read texts or at least see who texts were from without going into the messaging app. With Touchwiz on the S4, the dropdown notification just says that there's a new message. Since expandable notifications are a big part of JB, why doesn't the messaging app use them? Is there any way I can change this behavior without rooting or installing another ROM yet?
Download another messaging app such as handcent or go sms?

1. Go to the messaging app.
2. In the main part of the app (not inside individual thread) tap settings button.
3. Scroll down and look for the "Preview Message" and check that option.
4. Multiple messages can be previewed by sliding down with two fingers on the message notfication.
5. Hit thanks if this helped

This.
It's a feature some people use because they don't want their messages being shown the second they get them for privacy in case anyone is looking at their phone. Be sure to peek around in the settings.

Get handcent or compSMS. I use handcent. Worked better for me.
Edit: thought I was in the Desire forum, but I guess it should work anyway?

i mean its not that big a deal but just like anything else you put on the phone you dont need it but its cool.
Go into the notification settings:
settings-> all settings-> sounds & notifications-> notifications
from there select the event: Messaging: New text message. Check the box "Display message on screen"
Now when you get a text there will be a window that pops up from the bottom of the screen.

The apps you suggested are for Android and the HD2 is Windows Mobile so its not going to work.

Ive downloaded and use Handcent and yes it is nice. The reason I looked for and started using it was because of the lack of add recipient option when composing a new message in the stock app that is included. I feel like Im just missing how to do this in the stock app. Is it possible? It seems like it would be the most basic option but I can't seem to figure out how.

Normally,in the stcok app, after you put the name of the recipient, you just have to tap again inside the recipient box to add another one. else if you put phone number instead of a contact in the phonebook, then you just have to put a comma between the two phone number.
You misunderstood. The idea is that I don't want to have to type in their name. I want to be able to choose from my list of contacts in my phonebook.
I think the only options now are separating recipients with commas or FORWARD the message to another recipient after you have sent it out. I prefer the latter since it doesn't create a whole new thread.
lol is no one actually reading the question???
I haven't come across a way to add recipients, I always just type the 1st 2 letters and add them from that, IMO its easier than scrolling through a list of a few hundred people
Open contact list. Long press contact then select send message. It then opens messaging app.

Seeing as everyone is misunderstanding you're request I will give you the short answer.. No.
You can't select multiple recipients from a list in the stock app, unlike handscent, where you can.

Ok, I tried looking online and even deleting the stock messaging app.
My problem is that everytime I receive a text message I receive the little envelope notification in the task bar. Even when I check my texts through this notification, it stays there until I actually press clear on all the notifications. This might be stupid to some, but it absolutely annoys me.
Someone please help.

What msg service r u using. If its 3rd party then u have to ho into stock app and tell iT in settings not to get notifications
I was just using stock and yes I unchecked everything in those settings, and unfortunately I kept receiving them.
Now I've deleted the stock messaging app, and now using the handcent third party app, but I'm still receiving the stock notification and a handcent one.... Is this a bug?
I'm rooted on stock rom.

You problem is deleting the stock messaging app. It still delivers the text through OS, even though the actual app is no longer present. You should have kept it and told it to ignore.
You have to go into your stock messaging app, tap menu, then go to settings. Once in there you need to find "auto-retrieve" and unchecked the box. Then find "notifications" and unchecked that box as well

Becasue all yea raeally need to do with stock is clear the show notifications box.
I finally gave up on third party mms apps and just run stock now. It's fine. I don't need balloons.

Solution is to open original messaging app, goto settings then untick notifactions if anybody needs the solution...

is there any way to enable the option to reply from the notification bar like AOSP/CM using the stock messaging app? Im guessing no, but any advice would be nice.

I like the stock Samsung SMS app also.
This was where I screwed things up on my phone and I had to re-install the stock ROM because Titanium wouldn't let me restore.
I removed the AT&T Messages app thinking that doing so would make the default stock Samsung SMS app appear in the notification bar.
Man was I wrong. After removing the AT&T Messages app my contacts went all wonky.
It turns out that deleting the AT&T Messages app also removes a system app called Contacts Storage 4.2.2.
I tried to restore these apps using Titanium but it would fail to restore each time.
Maybe a dev will have a workaround for this.
^ good to know.
Well im using sliding messaging now and it does offer the reply from notification bar feature. Its a little buggy, but reliable enough for daily use.
