I dont know of a ROM, but have you tried GO SMS Pro? That has a SMS pop up notification, and i think it pops up on the lockscreen too, not 100% sure about that, but i remember it doing that. Its a cool app too, the animations are smooth and has tons of customization.

A big fan of a popup. Used SMS pop up for quite a while on the GN, but I found ChompSMS to be a much better alternative. I don't know of any other ROM for the GN besides MIUI that has a sms pop up built in

I started using SMS popup again after a hiatus away from it due to lack of updates. The dev recently kicked out some new updates so I've been using it again and have been quite pleased with the app, including some updated graphics.

Handcent. Love it.

Do chomp or handcent do pop ups if there is a security lock screen? I want something that will pop up over the lock screen. Can't believe the android team can't implement that into the stock messenger.

Chomp does and I believe handcent does too. I always remember though when using 3rd party sms apps they can act funny when you select this option depending on the ROM you're running. They're both excellent alternatives. Install them and see which one you like. Chomp is lighter weight/smaller footprint, but doesn't have as many options as Handcent. If you don't like either just uninstall

Chomp is crazy fast now, i dunno what they did but they did it right.

unfortunately, i have been having issues with getting the LED to _reliably_and_consistently_ light up on stock 4.0.4 when i get an SMS. tried Chomp, SMS Popup, ICS SMS, and a few others. the LED seems to work most of the time when using the stock messaging app so i'm sticking with that for the moment.

I've been running chomp for about 2 months now. I've never had a led issue it works perfect for me. It does blink at its own set rate rather than following your custom led blink settings, but it still works. I'm on aokp b37

thanks for the feedback, i assume it's just me since i have read only a few complaints about the LED no longer working reliably for SMS notifications. and since it looks like i'm going to have to do a factory reset to fix it, i figure it might be a good time to try out AOKP...as soon as i get time to read that really long thread for it over on rootzwiki

The only thing with chomp though is dont you have to use their "messages screen" like where the threads are held?

You can use and configure it how you'd like. Do you mean the "conversation list"? It's completely open to customizing how you want it to look. Or you could use it strictly for the pop up feature alone and use the stock SMS app in conjunction with it. Or you can use a stand alone pop up app like SMS pop up. It's a great app. I just have grown fond of chomps no frills super fast UI and some cool features, notably delayed sending.
