Help! Widgetlocker and sms popup - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've been spending the better part of an hour trying to convince widgetlocker to block sms popup but can't seem to figure out the proper system name. I have tried "SMS Popup", "android-smspopup", and "com.smspopup.*" any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to data/app and try to find it.

why not just uninstall SMS popup or tell SMS popup not to try and unlock screen?

It doesn't unlock the screen. It pops up in front of widget locker instead of waiting for me to unlock it like it does by default. I tried the whole trying to figure it out through installed apps thing too. Even tried finding it before the names changed in running apps list. Not happening.

I'm also trying to figure this out... I love the customization for individual contacts that SMS Popup offers, and I'm not ready to lose that.... so if anyone can figure it out... haha.

I have never once said it unlocks the screen. And it never unlocks the phone on any setting. It does turn the screen on by default but I turned that off long ago. the problem is when I turn the screen on sms popup sits on top of the lockscreen with widgetlocker. Widgetlocker has an option but you need the actually system name such as "com.handcent.nextsms" to handcent. I just need that one little line of text to fix this. Just don't know what it is for sms popup.

Handcent has an option to enable/disable popups on top of the lockscreen

Ahh but I am using sms popup as I like the stock sms app.

All you had to do to get that line was navigate to /data/app with root explorer and find SMS popup.
net.everythingandroid.smspopup-1.apk

Its a liveable issue. It doesn't wake the screen at least but I know there has to be a way to figure it out. Its probably not even that hard but I don't know enough about programming or how android works to do so. I've been on vacation since the issue started and getting on a plane home now. Hopefully ill be able to figure it out with a better workspace blah.
Edit: either you posted that while I was typing or im blind. I actually tried that my device just showed smspopup.apk I thank you very much sir.

Lock 2.0 Donate

I got the donate version (love it) but i have moved apps to sd card on my phone, and i have noticed this program, along with a few others need to be started when you restart your phone, is this the case if your apps are on the phone? Also is there a means to tell the g1 what apps i would like it to run on startup?
the new version gives u an option to run at start up
Doh!!! now i really feel like an idiot... I blame linux for my brain frying.
Thanks alot got it set now
i went ahead and got the donate version and i really love the app i just hate how it goes to sleep when i am only using touch. but the app is making my iphone friends so jealous
Lock 2.0 Problem
Well I got the lock 2.0 donate version. Whenever I run the app for it to download the default.zip file it says "the application lock 2.0 has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
But the free version runs fine..
Can not find the donate version in the market - Bulgaria/Europe
Runs fine on my G1
if you don't know what you doing or if u move file that u don't know what they do, don't come crying here asking for help + saying that the app don't work

I found a bug that i reported to the developer.
You can bypass the lock feature, click menu-set skin-back button.
Brings you to the homescreen not back to the lock screen
i liked the app, but asked for a refund becuz when lock2.0 was running, my notification sounds wouldn't work.
anyone else have this problem? i would get the LED notification, but no sound.

No he did not. I still get no sound wheter it's running or not. Hopefully I get it back when I uninstall.
this app worked fine until i turned on the option to have it open on startup. now my phone hangs on the android loading screen. it will not go past it. anyone else had this problem? i have tried to unistall via adb but couldnt figure out how to. any help would be great. thanks!
Grrrr... I uninstalled it, too unstable to be truly usefull. Restart the phone and you have to restart the program, I know you can set it to run at start-up but then it does not bypass that fugly "stock" locked screen. Notifications work on and off, made me miss so many emails....... I'll wait and see if dev can work all those bugs out, may be reinstall it in a month or so.
Weird, I don't have any problems with it. Yeah, when the phone restarts it goes back to the stock locked screen, but I simply enter my unlock pattern and done.
lock 2.0 notification problems
I've read in a few posts where people have notification problems, either no notificaton, or you cant pull down the notification screen etc. I had this problem too intermitantly, i played with it, and found a work around, hopefully help some others experiencing the same probs till the dev comes up with a fix. When you first boot your phone, if you have the proggy set to come on at startup, you have about 3 seconds, where it boots to your normal android start screen (half window, with time network information in it.) if you wait about 3 seconds, it will autolock into your lock 2.0 program. at this point your notifications are screwed, but if when it first boots to the normal android boot screen, and you hit the menu button, it will move to your desktop, and then autolock. You should be good to go at this point. everytime i press menu before it locks, i have 0 notification problems. Hope this helps some of you out there

[Q]Google talk layout on Galaxy S

Im having problems with Google Talk on my phone.
Normally, if u start a chat. and the other person is talking back, u should see the txt under your own txt. But i only see it as a balloon in my top-tray of the phone and do not see the txt written by the other person in the chat overview.
Anyone knows how to solve this?

My gf and I also have Galaxy S phones. Her device is running on I9000XXJFB firmware, mine is on I9000XWJM2. Shes having kinda like the same problem with GTalk: the screen is splitted to 2 sides (top&bottom), instead of how mine works (the good old conversation-look, when A-B-A-B persons messages follow each other).
Maybe its firmware-dependent? I did not find any option to change the layout in the settings menu.
Firmware is probably a good bet. If you want to hold off, have you tested to see what happens if you turn the setting balloon top-tray setting off? Would you see nothing at all? Or would it populate the message how it should.
You probably want the best of both worlds, it's worth a quick test if you have any reason to delay upgrading firmware.
disabling the notification button in the toptray would be a bummer anyway because then i wouldnt be notified if somebody is messaging me.
i downloaded a beta version of Hi GTalk from the market. which is working as it should work so i guess my problem isnt solved with Talk it self, but with installing an alternative app.
i think you'd still receive the sound notification. As long as you are going an alternative app route, i'd. consider uninstalling and reinstalling GTalk, it might just be corrupted.
good point. i will uninstall it and reinstall.
[edit] hehe i cant uninstall it. its "in the factoryrom" so i see. i dont see it at the installed programs list..?
gtalk still problem
Hi, I have the same problem with gtalk, also after upgrade to Froyo any ideas ?
solution
Solution:
Change time zone to the right location unbelievable, but it works !!! layout is dependent on internal time zone.
Good luck

[REQ] Captivate Contacts app

I've been trying to install the apk, but it force closes anytime you try to access the contacts app. I like the one from the Captivate because you can swipe the contact name right to call, and left to message directly. I don't like the Fascinates, which shows the text/call buttons when you swipe the contact to the right.
Any ideas out there?
I would also love to have this
I have not seen this, does anyone have a video or a link to a video on the Captivates contacts app?

It works like when you are in the fascinates messaging app. Swipe your finger right on a messaging thread and it place a call, left and it opens a message. On the vibrant it will do this in the contacts app.
Bump.........
The stock contacts app will do this also. Swiping right brings up an envelope and phone for their respective uses.

We're aware but that's not what we want. I want like the Captivate and Vibrant where I swipe right and it places a call and left opens a message.

Correct, this is the functionality I'm looking for. The contacts app on the fascinate is also a nice touch, but its an extra click. I know it may sound picky, but hey, thats why we mod our phones!
This would be awesome, that's one feature I liked about the vibrant.

I assume the one you tried (and kept FCing) was the deodexed version?

I tried taking the Contacts.apk directly from the Vibrant system dump and it didn't do anything but FC so I was thinking maybe I need the odex file also or there was more work to be done to get it running that was beyond my knowledge.
I think the reason behind the FC is because of the missing parameter for the backup assistant which verizon only offers i think. (you need subscription for this)
The swipe action works in the text message thread. Go to your text messages and swipe left or right on a name then it will either go call or text, respective direction.

It was a system dump from the i9000, I also tried the one from the Vibrant like kvaughan did. I haven't been able to find the Contacts.apk from a Captivate dump, I'm actually on vacation this week and I havent been in front of my computer too much to do some real research
OK, I've attached the Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk from the deodexing of the last official (i.e. non-Froyo) Captivate ROM.
I haven't tried it (and am not quite sure what ContactsProvider *does*), so test at your own risk.
I'll take a look at implementing that & see how it goes.
Edit: The slide to call or message is a nice feature. The only issue is that the settings for Contacts.apk has SIM & ATT features. When tapping a contact on the home screen, instead of coming up like a message box (comic style), it just pops up without much kick...
Now Im new to the programing part of all this so correct me if im completely off base or if it would be to difficult. Since the feature does work in the fascinates text messaging. Would it be possible to locate the part of the code in there and implement it into the contacts. I'm not doubting that it would be extremely complex but since it is already on the fascinate it theoretically would work if that part of code could be transfered into the contacts file correct?
For some god-awful reason the Captivate Contacts.apk is dependent on the Yahoo! Stock Widget.
>_>
So you'll need at least that.
No, just use the Mesmerize Contacts. Works great on either DI01 or DJ05.

No screens showing

Long story short...had issues with shutting down and finally decided to call and get a replacement after it's getting worse by the day.
The tech advised me to do a factory wipe and reset. After doing this, I just have a black screen. I have the notification bar showing at the top. I can pull the notification bar down and see the settings there. I can toggle the volume and it'll show the volume going up and down. When I have the lock screen come up, it has the scarecrow lock screen that showed up when I put Cognition 2.2 on there.
When I long push on the home button, task manager comes up.
So now I have no idea what to do. They're sending me a replacement and I'm afraid it's going to show up as Cognition 2.2 when they get my phone and I'm going to have a $450 bill from AT&T show up.

Thanks! It was driving me nuts. I can receive phone calls and can make them by going to the task manager. I can receive texts and send a text back by going to the task manager. But not much else. Need to make sure it's showing stock 2.1 when I send this in.
Which version if cognition are you running? It sounds like you have somehow lost your launcher.
Can you get to recovery mode?

Cognition 2.7 beta
No. I can't get into recovery mode.
Here's what I can do:
When someone calls, it will show as normal and I can answer.
When someone texts, I can see the text and respond. I can even search through my messages.
I can use the pulldown notification screen on the homepage.
However, I have blank screens and bottom functions buttons do not work at all on the homescreen except the long press home button to get to task manager.
I'm hoping the Odin will fix it.
Odin will fix it....your launcher is gone. I asked about the cog version because 2e recovery is available with last couple and you could flash that way. I am sure there is a way to push a new launcher apk using adb but someone more experienced with adb would have to explain.

[Q] Go SMS Pro, help please?!

Coming over from HandCent (massive battery drain), and only one complaint.
With HandCent, it would unlock my screen even though I had a pattern lock enabled. But with Go SMS Pro, it just turns on the screen and makes the unlock noise, but it does not actually unlock the screen, but rather just show the pattern lock screen.
Help please?!?!

GOSMS wont let you bypass the lockscreen if you dont wanna hear the unlocking sound go to settings/sound/scroll down and uncheck Screen lock sounds everything else can be changed in GOSMS settings like if the screen turns on when u have a meesage and all that but ive used GOSMS for about 10 months to my knowledge it doesnt have that bypass feature

I will, I will. I'm on my phone right now.
Well it did a pop-up, showed the quick text box, and if you started to type, it would let you and then lock your phone back up after.
And if you didn't want to text back, it locked back up in 10 seconds (or whatever you set it to).
You can't exit out of the quick text box without the phone locking back up... really nice actually

I've recently switched to this app as well. must faster and lighter than handcent- but I'm having one issue.
I have it set to unlock the phone when a message comes in. If I receive a popup notification for a message and immediately take my phone out of my pocket, sometimes the screen orientation will change and this will dismiss the popup. the message disappears from my notification tray and everything. has anyone else experienced this?
