Some features of Go Sms

For well over a year now, I've always been using Go Sms because of the extra (small) features it provided, mainly:

- Phone screen turns on when a text is received
- Re notify after five minutes if I don't answer a text

- Pop up showing me the text I've just received
- Change to a longer vibrate pattern

The two in bold are the priority...the pop up was just a convenience, and the vibrate pattern was irritating in work.

However, I find phone screen on useful....it catches my attention sometimes, even if I don't hear the phone

Renotify after five minutes is vital. Since I've stopped using vibrate (i actually cringe when it rattles the desk in the office) I miss texts on occasion. Normally I notice them...but this was my backup

So I guess my question is....is there an app out there that will allow me to add these features to the default messaging app? Unfortunately I'm not holding out much hope :(

If anyones actually interested in why I'm switching after such a long time using Go Sms and liking the features - The messaging app has had a revamp with the release of Sense 3.0....I really like the layout!

Cheers
