Better notifications for text messages?

[Intelligent Penguin]

Hello!

Is there a better way of getting a notification that a text message has been received? If I miss the beep (or often my phone is on silent while I'm at work), and I don't see the ever so tiny green light flashing, I can often go for ages without seeing that a text message has arrived. Are there any better notifications for this or should I just hunt for the little green light? The incoming silent call notification is great cos the white ball goes completely manic which is very obvious.

Thanks!! IP

ChompSMS (pre-cupcake) is an awesome app. It doesn't just allow you to use an onscreen keyboard, you can also change phone notifications, LED color, and vibe pattern. The app also allows you to change background colors, text bubble colors and text colors.

Fantastic, that's quite a good one. I like the way it turns on the screen for a few seconds when one is received. It's a shame is doesn't do delivery reports, but I guess that's a trade-off for the better notifications.

Thanks!! IP

i also like the similarity to the iPhone's SMS app interface. this will probably be a permanent replacement for the default messaging app. There is also a version for the cupcake update too.
