Download (incl. advertising screen displayed once per 3 days):

Paid plugin (removes advertising screen displayed once per 3 days):

Hints / Limitations:
* HTC Desire with stock ROM - how to fix LED blinking (let us know if it works for other phones with similar problem)
- On stock ROM, LED blinking will stop in about 5 mins after text message arrives. To workaround that we have added refresh during reminders. Simply, set reminders to a period of 5 mins to keep the led on. Btw, you can have reminders 'on' without need to set further Sound, Vibration, Turn on Display.
* LED colors / LED blink rate
- Your phone / rom needs to support that in a way it's accessible via standard Android API (android.app.Notification), otherwise the options won't work for you.
- We know that other programs may use some sort of workarounds and other tricks, but currently we don't have any plans to implement that.
* On-screen message visible when the phone is locked (in a sleep mode).
- Currently, not possible. To introduce that, it would mean to play with the Keyguard functionality in Android API which we are not sure we wanna do. Maybe in the future ... on TODO list.
- You could maybe try some other 3rd party apps which implements their own lock screen. Let us know here if you find something which works together with SMS Notifier.

From v1.5:

Nice little app that I would theme immediatelly :)!
Would be nice to have it in Android style..why using different icons? So it fits better..and missing the smilies :)

For example, I use only froyos default sms app and would like to use kind of a pop up plugin that fits and does not look like a different sms app.
greets

Edit: just did a quick edit...think I will keep this app now, looks like buid in..
I am curios how you gonna continue with this app..looking forward!!!

Hi rori,

Glad you like it.

I think we can add that default icon in the next update - need to double check the licensing first.

We have some plans for usability improvements and also some more eye-candy for the future releases.

Looking forward to more theming screenshots :)

Have a nice weekend.

@aladin6:

There are two ways how to process an incoming message:

1) Let user just read a message (even if notification bar is not visible) with no interruption of whatever doing (watching a movie, playing a game,...).
This is implemented in SMS Notifier. We have missed this feature a lot in other sms applications and this is also one of the reasons why we have developed our own.

2) Interrupt running activity and force user to do some action ("popup").
This is considered for implementantion in the future, but it is not top priority at this moment.

Thanx!
I keep it on my phone...seriously hope you can make it froyo look.
Dont waste your time on your own UI..;)..you just make a great app that fits to default and we have a feeling it is not a third party app, that´s all.
Dekuji moc, pozdrav!

How did you get your lockscreen to have 4 sliders? I really like this feature...

I just did a quick edit of v1.0, but as OP updatet to 1.1 iz´s probably obsolete..

You can change color (incl. transparency) in version 1.1

Regarding that icon in on-screen preview... wait for the next update where we will rework that part quite significantly. We believe you will like it :)

On another note, any Droid / X / 2 users? We're getting some strange reports regarding notification LED functionality. Could anybody with that phone(s) and using SMS Notifier describe us if it works for him as expected or what are the problems?

Basically, we are using native Android API for LED functionality and for example on HTC Desire we don't see any issues.

Thanks for the note. Correct. At least on Desire we don't see how to make it through Android API. Heard something about you need rooted device and work with charging LED. It's just black magic.

No onscreen notification here, using:
Android 1.6 CSDI V4 por Super@mtel On a t-mobile g1

When using the test function on the app itself the notification appears.
Just not when I turn the screen of and then get an sms..

Still, A great app :)

And why not adding a text box that it allows us to make a reply ? Just like ChompSMS or Handcent or SMSPopup!

Please make this an option if you go this route - I really hate having all those buttons and whatnot all over the screen. I like the idea of just a simple popup - click on it it to reply. I would like to see something like "2 other unread messages" somewhere else (if it doesn't already do this... I just installed it.)

Love the app - it just replaced SMS Popup on my EVO.

Quick question: in the OP the pop-up takes up the whole bottom third of the screen. On mine it just takes up a bit of each corner (or a bit in the center of the screen.) How do I get it to take up the whole width of the screen?
