Im using the new iced glacier 1.1.4 and even if i turn off the native sms's notifications, it still decides to go off when i get a message. I was wondering if its ok to use titanium backup and uninstall the native sms app since i could use handcent sms. Would i run into problems?
What if you just disable notifications in the stock app? That would do the trick.
If you do decide that you don't want stock app at all I would suggest that you freeze it rather then uninstalling it. This way its gone from app drawer and does not use resources but can be restored at will.
Good luck.

O ya i forgot i could freeze it. ill try that when i get a chance.. Well since im using this new iced glacier rom, for me theres a bug where my native sms app always go off even though i turn off its notifications and that stupid little sms icon in notifications stays there until i drag the bar down and clear it from the status bar.
But thanks alot for the advice, ill try freezing it.
i can tell you from me doing that several times .. either uninstalling it or disabling or freezing the stock message app that you will run into issues with the picture messaging .. you wont be able to send them . although from what i can remember you may still be able to recieve them ... i think
i tried this due to the handy blocck list in handcent feature .. but with the stock app you can still see whats hidden in there ...
so what i did was back up my stock MMS.apk to my sdcard then uninstall it when i know i want to use just handcent for the block and then re-install the apk when or if i need to send pictures again ..
other than that .. everything else works fine

Before the flames start I have tried to search for the answer to this one, with no luck...
Everytime I try to start the 3D gallery app, it just loops on and off, over and over until I close the app. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, with no luck. Also, I still cannot get the id pics to show in handcent or the default messaging app. I also attempted to install the EVO messaging app I saw in another post to fix this, with no luck however.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am running skyraider 2.5.2, radio 2.15.xxx, s-off, .....
Thanks

if i were to say remove the HTC lockscreen, or the HTC dialer on mt4g, would i have no lockscreen or dialer at all, or would it default to stock froyo?
not sure about the dialer... however I know if you remove the HTC Lockscreen.apk and HTC Lockscreen.odex (odex if you are running rooted but stock, just .apk if you are running Iced-Glacier) you will revert to stock vanilla lockscreen
im rooted. so if i go in and remove HTC Lockscreen.apk and HTC Lockscreen.odex ill be ok? i have not installed any roms yet.
yeah easiest way is either Titanium Backup (free) or Root Explorer (paid) but worth the cost if your gonna be messing around in system files.
see HERE for the how to... even though it's pretty easy

already got all that SW on the phone.
i uninstalled the lock screen and it worked after reboot. i am so happy to have the android slider back, with the silence slider...yayyy!
anyone else confirm? i installed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832374
so if i removed HTC sense now i should be ok?
can anyone confirm if removal of the dialer would be safe? i do notice this...
i have GV set to ask me every call. after i pick call without google voice on the popup, i see the non htc dialer screen, then it goes to the htc dialer.
Removing will do just that. Remove the dailer! I tried that before and had to backup the dailer.apk so I could key in numbers. No virgin dailer here. Guess we're just stuck with it I suppose.

I used Root Explorer to move both the HTC Lock apk and odex to the SD card. Rebooted the phone and had the froyo lock screen. Then learned about the alarm issue. I moved the HTC Lock apk and odex back to the orginial location, rebooted, but still have the froyo lock screen and not the original stock sense lock. Anyone have a clue?
I also tried to click on the .apk to install it in case that was it and it errored.
Please post questions in Q&A section.

yea i learned that the hard way! no dialer at all, and if you remove the htc contacts as well you are really screwed, as it messes with gtalk, gmail and sometimes market installations. i put the contacts apk back in and i have not had any FC issues since. the dialer for some reason is not installing but im thinking that could be because of the 3rd party dialer i have installed.
So I've spent the past week flashing different roms trying to figure out the issue and the only thing I can figure is sense based roms cause my text order to be out of order. The incoming texts show up before the sent text in the thread. I've tried stock messaging app as well as alternate sms apps and still the same thing. My wife is on stock non root and has the same issue.
Put CM7 on my phone yesterday and ran it all day and all my texts showed right..I first thought it was maybe a carrier issue in my area but why would CM7 work right when sense doesn't....
I'm at a loss on a fix and my wife wants a fix too lol...anyone have any ideas?
Fixed my issue...finally hit me on what I could try and it actually worked...so stinking happy!

I had the same issue with an AOSP rom. weird. I believe it might be one of the 3rd party widgets (not messaging apps) such as the sense widget or the launcher pro sms widget. first I thought it was my theme, reflashed still no go. so I wiped and reflashed then found out that if I clicked on a friends name from the launcher pro sms widget and sent a message it would be out of order for instance when he texts and I reply my reply would go BEFORE his message...
If not the widgets my second theory could be the kernels...
quick fix. just restart your messaging app and delete all the threads.
I tried everything and the only thing that worked for me was putting the vanilla android mms.apk on instead of sense mms.apk
Although the vanilla messaging app likes to force close on composing mms
I use GoSMS Pro as my default SMS app. Works great, looks great, is great.
Except for one issue:
People are receiving my messages twice.
I use the Quick Reply function very, very often (and I know that most people have this issue solely while using this feature.)
Does anyone have a fix? I'd like to continue using the app and the Quick Reply feature, but it's a little embarrassing to have people receive my messages twice.
Thank you.
You need to uninstall the stock messaging app using titanium backup text messaging is the name of the apk. Then uninstall Go SMS Pro, and reinstall it. Done
Won't that get in the way of future updates?
Can I freeze the stock messaging app instead?
Sorry, new to android here lol.
try it and see what happens (freezing) worst case you defrost it.

Don't uninstall the stock app as it may prevent you updating in future. Freeze instead so you can thaw when a new update comes out.
I think the latest update said they fixed that issue. Are you running the latest one?
mine works fine
Mine works fine I'm using it on top of ginger blur 3.1

I had the same issue (GingerBlur 3.1) got to the point where I had to just go back to stock. Though handcent worked quite well.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I can't say I'm a big fan of handcent, and I am running the newest version.
The people who complain about this problem are saying that it's a hit or miss. Sometimes they come in twice (but often, multiple times a day), and sometimes they don't.
It's gotta be a problem with the popup window.
Meh
Recently, I've noticed that the Messaging app will automatically set itself as the default SMS app. I don't like the Messaging app, I don't want to use it. How am I able to stop this from occurring?

Well, that provides me some relief. It's been happening with all of them for the last two weeks. Messenger, invi, Textra, QKSMS, etc. I'll format sometime I guess.

This happens to me constantly. I want to use hangouts as my default messaging app, but it randomly (or so it seems) switches back to the stock messaging app. I did notice that when this happens it also switches back to the original lock screen (I use GO Locker now).
I thought about removing the messaging app (my phone is rooted), but I'm not sure how that would affect the phone. I also can't seem to find the app under the list of apps I could uninstall.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

you could try freezing it with titanium backup
Don't freeze or remove the stock messaging app. I switched from ART runtime back to Dalvik, after reading that somebody experienced problems upon switching runtimes. Are you by chance on ART?
Edit - I also ought to mention that I haven't had it reset since I made the switch.

Cool, I'm glad I asked before I tried to do so.
As far as I know I am still using Dalvik runtime.

Switching to ART and then reverting to Dalvik would be my only suggestions then at that point. I hope it's resolved, I've been loving Messenger. [emoji14]
