Lock Screen Notifications

[Drewfam]

So i have had this phone for a couple weeks now and I have been playing around with it. I have only had one other android device and that was a Transformer 300T. Coming from an iPod/iPhone it was a big difference. I never found a option to wake the screen up when i get a notification so i downloaded a app that is called Lock Screen Notifications and works as a live wallpaper. What i cant figure out is how to get any image to look correct as it always makes me crop the image yet no matter how i crop it the image is cut off or stretched too far or looks terrible. Are there any other solutions for lock screen notifications or to make it stop cropping all my images?

GO SMS is a very nice messaging application that has an option to turn the screen on when a message comes. That's only texts though; if you're wanting all notifications, idk about that...
