I've installed Go SMS on my Desire Z and want to make it the default messaging app, but I can't find the existing messaging app to disable it.
From reading around, I understand the instructions to be:
Go to Settings -> Applications, then select the Messaging appliation. Scroll down and select 'Clear Defaults'.
But if I select the "Messages" application the "Clear Defaults" button is disabled.
???
You don't disable the app itself, you just open Messages (the default app) and disable the notifications in Settings. Then turn on notifications in the SMS app you want to use.

I am assuming you are getting double notifications from the built-in messaging app and GO SMS?
open up your stock messaging app from your app drawer and get into the main screen. from there, hit the "Menu" button to bring up the additional options and go into "settings". in there, you can disable retrieval capabilities as well as notification settings.
Alternatively, I believe you can remove the stock app altogether by using Titanium.
According to GoSMS instructions, do not remove messaging app as it gives GoSMS better functionality. Just turn off notifications on the original messaging app. On other apps that use SMS, such as Contacts, if you cleared defaults, you should have a choice now of what messaging app to use. Choose GoSMS and that becomes the default SMS for that app.

Try Handcent.

Can you fully disable the SMS Messaging app or uninstall it without causing issues if you install ChompSMS and make that the default for messaging
thanks
YES
in the SMS app you can hit 'MENU' and click on settings to disable the SMS notification and then do Vice-Versa in Chomp SMS to enable the SMS notification (Green SMS)
using the settings options in either you can set one up to take priority of the other, just have a tinker and see what you think, uninstalling mite be a step to far but playing with the settings this way is good enough
thanks for reply, yeh I've already setup the defaults and notifications
i just wondering if you could uninstall the version of messaging that comes with the phone
IIRC you can remove it and add chomp as the default using ADB. You'd have to rename it, of course and resign it as well if I'm not mistaken. We tried this with the default camera.apk and SnapPhoto and the results were a little less than desired.
i like handcent n do not want the led to continue blinking after sms read frm handcent, i always had to clear the message frm the notification bar.
anyone can advise if it is possible to disable the default messaging app?
thanks.....
Hi - I don't think you need to disable the app to do what you want.. am I reading you right if I say that you don't want the default message app NOTIFICATIONS? if that's right then you can switch that off within the default message app settings menu.

Where is that Option?
@techgurux10 - Really?.. ok.. Messaging app.. menu button.. settings.. notification settings section near the bottom - deselect the "notifications" option..
Hi,

Open messaging, press menu, press settings, notifications should be 3rd from the bottom.
Open the app drawer, then Messaging, then settings.
Thanks guys!!! That worked!

Go into the stock messaging app and in settings uncheck Notifications.
Also uncheck auto retrieve in the stock messaging app
Also if you for some reason have a different app set to default, you can go into settings - applications and then Handcent to "Clear Defaults" so next time you try and message from something like contacts, it will bring up a selection window of the app to use then just check "make default" and pick Handcent.
well that was simple enough geez. THANKS GUYS
There is a better way. If you try to send a text from the contact lists, then if has a separate default entry for each contact, so you will still be asked on occasion if you want to send from handcent or messaging. If you never plan on using messaging (which I see no point in doing so) then you can just remove it or freeze it with Titanium. Then you never have to think about it again.

he he that helped i was about to make a new topic
OK, So I've changed the default SMS app from Messaging to Hangouts, for the main reason that I have a smartwatch and Hangouts allows you to read conversations on the watch. Problem is now that the default Messaging app keeps giving me Notification Badges. I've tried disabling it in Applications, but it doesn't show up in the "All" list.
Any ideas?

disable notifications via settings (or phone manager) >notification center>messaging.
The sms app is not a separate app. Its a combined app along with dialer and contacts called "huawei contacts".
