I have recently started using Chomp SMS because I hate the default s5 messaging app, but I have stopped receiving text push notifications on my s view screen. If I switch back to Messaging, they come back. Does this feature really only work on their own apps or is there a work around for this?

You are correct, the sview cover app only supports the default messenger.

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 have a question regarding using second party SMS/MMS messaging program.
I have and like Handcent much better than the stock messaging system, but the issue I am having is that once I view the message on handcent, I have to go the the regular messaging program and view it there to get rid of the notification.
Is there a way to turn off the stock messaging system so that only handcent comes up?
Just go into stock messaging and turn off the notifications.

Thought I had, but went back in and realized I had not. Thanks for the response. Serious blonde moment going on here.
Trying to find an app for quick replying to sms messages. I installed sMs popular from the play store and it works except the messages still show unread. Also the contact pictures don't show up. Anyone know of a better app to use?

sms popup
i really liked the one from cm10 tho
Sliding Messaging is great for anyone coming from AOSP ROMs with the expanding notifications, quick reply/mark read, and breathing status bar notifications.
I had to manually edit the MMS APN settings within the app to get it fully functional, but now I'm able to send/receive MMS + group MMS perfectly.
I use GoSMS Pro, but SMS Popup works great as a standalone app.

Running Stock verizon LG G2, when I receive a text via hangouts app and I get to the lock screen I'll notice the hangouts notification in the notification bar and right away it disappears before I can drag down the bar to see what the message was.
Any ideas?

I get this too...maybe 50% of the time with hangouts
Text messaging with Hangouts is cumbersome and annoying, I just went back to stock Messaging app.
But this is probably a Hangouts bug, yeah.
Yep - me too.
I have this problem too - but I also had the problem when using Textra. Maybe there is something about the G2 that's preventing the typical SMS notification from working properly. I guess I'll try the stock messaging app for a bit and see if that works properly.
I just integrated my Sprint number with Google Voice hoping that I would be able to text from Galaxy S4, Nexus 7, or Chrome extension. This seemed to work, but I would get duplicate threads from the same person. I read where showing "SMS & voicemail in Hangouts" with Sprint integration will cause problems (https://support.google.com/voice/answer/6023920?p=voice_sms&rd=1). When I turn that off my duplication problem seems to go away. This puts my texting back to the way it was before integration (buys me nothing). I am not really interested in any of the Google Voice functionality. I would like to receive SMS/MMS from all my platforms and thought integration would provide this. Can this be accomplished and I am missing something? Running Galaxy S4 with SACS-NG2 at the moment, but also run CM11-M9.
my wife runs integrated gVoice on a S4 mini with no problems. She uses Hangouts for everything.
Never had a duplication issue.
Did you make hangouts your default messaging app? If not, this could be the cause of your duplicate messages.

Hangouts is my default messaging app. Duplication is related to "SMS & voicemail in Hangouts", but without that can't send/receive texts from my tablet.

Does she have "SMS & voicemail in Hangouts" checked?

Disable Hangouts and go to whatever app you were using for messaging. Enable that app and uncheck notifications in its settings. Reenable Hangouts. I have noticed for some reason when Hangouts is enabled it does not disable notifications from other messaging apps. You have to enable the old app to disable notifications and then go back to Hangouts and enable it.

It's not a notification problem. The texts are duplicated or the sender will be duplicated with one message blank.
