I don't know why the messaging notification icon is a envelope. I keep thinking I have new mail. Is there an easy way to change that?
Thanks,

Probably the easiest is to install a 3rd party SMS app like Go SMS Pro or Handcent.
Otherwise you'll have to replace the icon in a .apk.
If you mean the app icon you could use a launcher like nova,download an icon pack and change any icon you want.

I think he means the notification tray icon. If not... that's what i'm thinking of. Almost never know whether it's an e-mail or text that i received, except that text messages give you that shortcut right on the lockscreen.

Hi mates,
is there a way to have the "whatsapp" icon + shortcut (after you drag down the bar) permanently?
I'd like to have it the way Nimbuzz or Skype work and stay in the bar as I use the programm very often and would really like that feature?
i googled for "android apps pin statusbar" and found 4apps. dont know which fits best for you.

I just want to have a small whatsapp Icon in my notification bar permanently and the same icon with the name of the programm in the list when I pull down the bar (like it's for nimbuzz, skype and other apps)

Sorry but what is more important.... An ability to launch an App from the notification window or an icon?

If you read "about" in Bar Control, you can email the developer for custom icons.
I like SE`s stock sms app but I hate opening the whole app for a quick reply....I ve used sms popup from the market but I m not really satisfied......
you can test go launcher's sms popup. It is themeable and you got your sms directly on the desktop screen, where you also have the possibility to directly answer. In Stock you just can pull down the status bar to read your sms, if one arriced. That's quite handy I think.

Hi,
I'm trying to replace the Go SMS Icon on the default Samsung lockscreen, I use Go SMS for default sms and I'm running Nova launcher so have changed the go sms icon to ics icon. But on my lockscreen the go sms icon cannot be changed, is there away?? I have tried a few ICS lockscreen but none work to how I want, either double lock screen or look awful!
Can someone shed some light on best way.
Thanks

AFAIK, the icon cannot be changed on the default lockscreen. Only the application. The only way I can see to change the icon would be to edit the Go SMS Pro apk and change the icon file to the one you want. This however will need to be done again after every reboot.
Another way would be to create your own small application with the Icon you want, and have that just directly open Go SMS Pro.

Thank you for the reply... Hmm that's a shame as I do like the default lockscreen just the Go SMS Pro app looks awful on there!
I'm not sure how to create my own icon, was hoping that I could copy the stock messaging icon and replace the Go SMS one in root...
Oh well will just stick with Holo launcher now!
Thanks.

i think you can decompile the apk, change the icon sign it and install it and it will have the icon you replaced by default. but its not such an easy process.

Hmm think I might skip that, probably end up causing more damage than its worth!

If you install widget locker, you can customize the lock screen using any combination of icons-to-apps that you want.

my thought exactly. or any replacement lockscreen that supports it.
Is there a way to easily change the color scheme of the messaging app? I flashed the mod to disable waking on sms, but it changed the color scheme of the messaging app. I'd like to get it back to default if possible.

idk if this is the answer. but these are my 0.02 cents. open your txt messaging then click the menu button on the left. then settings. then you can change the bubble style and backround. Hope that answered your question?
