Hey I'm running Team Nocturnal VM 12.1 ROM. Everything running smooth. But I can't hide my text so that it just says new message. I've looked online the options I read aren't available so I'm wondering if there's a workaround maybe. Also can I do this with the hangout app? I like to use that for SMS but I don't know how to disable the annoying heads up notification it uses. Please & Thank You for any assistance
