Can and how can I remove my stock message app

Title explains it all... I just want to use handcent
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

on most phones it causes system errors and force closes. i will go out on a limb and assume the same for MT4G. just install handcent and default it for everything!
ps: have you tried go sms? i prefer it.

I like chomp sms as a replacement if I use a replacement. Has the quick compose option that I like.

Messaging annoyance

Ok, I tried looking online and even deleting the stock messaging app.
My problem is that everytime I receive a text message I receive the little envelope notification in the task bar. Even when I check my texts through this notification, it stays there until I actually press clear on all the notifications. This might be stupid to some, but it absolutely annoys me.
Someone please help.

What msg service r u using. If its 3rd party then u have to ho into stock app and tell iT in settings not to get notifications

I was just using stock and yes I unchecked everything in those settings, and unfortunately I kept receiving them.
Now I've deleted the stock messaging app, and now using the handcent third party app, but I'm still receiving the stock notification and a handcent one.... Is this a bug?
I'm rooted on stock rom.

You problem is deleting the stock messaging app. It still delivers the text through OS, even though the actual app is no longer present. You should have kept it and told it to ignore.

You have to go into your stock messaging app, tap menu, then go to settings. Once in there you need to find "auto-retrieve" and unchecked the box. Then find "notifications" and unchecked that box as well

Sounds silly, but have you looked throug hal lthe Handcent settings?
Becasue all yea raeally need to do with stock is clear the show notifications box.
I finally gave up on third party mms apps and just run stock now. It's fine. I don't need balloons.

Did you try going into your stock messaging app and uncheck the "notifications" options?
Sorry, a thousand people replied with the same thing, just thought I'd share.

Quick reply for mms

Is there anyway to have the native messaging app(touchwiz mms) to have a quick reply system? i dont really like hand cent or go sms.
Also as in quick reply i mean like a box poping up showing you have a message and options showing if you want to reply, close, or something. And if you click reply then it pops open a little box where you can reply right there and return to your app.
Is it possible to edit the app to do so?

SMSPopup might be what you're looking for.

the free amazon app today is textPlus gold and it has the popup options you're looking for...although if you don't care for handcent i don't imagine you'll like this.

ChompSMS

I cannot figure out how/why on my wife's S4, when using chompSMS and having Quick Reply enabled, she gets a text, the Quick Reply window comes up, but takes her out of where she is and opens chompSMS behind the Quick Reply window. Even if I use the Quick Reply window to respond, it still takes me to the chompSMS app. I checked all settings and I am sure they are the same as my Galaxy Note and chompSMS performs fine on my Note. What am I missing here?
Thanks,
MB

You should use go SMS pro. Or SMS pop up for stock messaging app.

I dont use chomp sms but I do use textra sms which is an app in the playstore which was created by the same developers who made chomp sms and it doesnt have this problem. I highly recommend checking it out.

Chomp sms is always having problems like this. I second the suggestion to use go sms pro.

@op you should try out textra like everyone said. The MMS on it is superb

I'm currently using ChompSMS with my GS4 and have not come across this issue. Maybe try un-installing and re-installing the app to see if it fixes the issue? Maybe e-mail Chomp for support as well?

I don't know? I just confirmed it working on mine from my gs4 to an iPhone 4s. You hit the big + button and went to emojis?

I have not had any issues with chompSMS to this point. I am gonna try the uninstall/install thing and see if that works. If I cannot get the issue corrected, I am going with another SMS/MMS provider.

Any problems with textra and MMS? ChompSMS just fixed their MMS issues.
Thank you,

Can't see pics with chompSMS?

Does anyone know how to fix this? I have to switch to stock messenger to see the pic and then when I go back to chomp it will then show.

Try handcent SMS. I've had problems with chomp in the past and always came back to handcent. The devs are really good about fixing any issues.

Try Textra...it's made by the same people, and it's fast, fluid, and completely replaced my stock messaging app (I can freeze the stock app with no issues). I've had no issues with MMS in it, like I have with most other 3rd party SMS apps.

+1 for textra I use it as my daily SMS app. I was having problems with other 3rd party SMS apps I would take a picture but it would only send sideways it was stupid with textra it doesn't do that and its light so it makes it fast.

+1 textra

OK, so I'm trying out textra and have made it my default SMS. I'm not receiving notifications or the pop up. I'm getting them in the stock messaging though. Am I doing something wrong? Help is appreciated. Thanks.

It's a common problem w chomp i fixed it like so...begin by whining your application cache for chomp and stock messenger. ..
Go to your mobile settings and copy the mms settings or whatever...then input those to the chomp app...i also had to enable in the stock messenger "auto retrieve mms"....then in chomp disable that feature that says something like b preserve resolution"... Once all is done reboot and have someone send you a pic. It should work. Give it a few hours i knew mine wouldn't work right away but now it's golden.

No Textra Notification
This happened to me as well. I found that if I have any additional third party SMS apps besides Textra installed, then Textra will not notify me of a new message. Also check your stock messaging app and make sure notifications are turned off there as well.

I.tried all the suggestions and in the end nothing worked so I jumped ship to Sliding Messenger, which does fine with pics.

Lucky you, I've never gotten Sliding Messaging to fully work with MMS, no matter what combination of settings I've tried. It's the reason I jumped ship to Textra (although to be honest I've been using Hangouts for my SMS lately...the only features I'm really missing are the pop-up replies and dark theme).

It disgust me that there are messaging apps that don't support popup on Android these days especially hangouts
