Guys,
i just installed the Go SMS Pro, which is a very good app, but whenever i receive an sms or mms, the default sms reader app still active, even though i set the Go SMS pro to be the default. It's like i'm receiving the sms twice.
I would like to stay only with the GO SMS PRO on, is there a way to turn off the app?
Please take a look into the description

Just use Titanium Backup or whatever to remove it.
OR
- To avoid double notifications, you must disable notifications of other SMS applications

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 see many people use chompsms and handcent application on their Hero. Why? I have downloaded the chompsms to try it out, but I had to check both applications to remove the "new message" notification in the status bar.
What is the advantage of applications like chompsms?
I can't say anything about ChompSMS or Handcent, because I don't use SMS enough to worry about using something "better" than the default app.
However, your first point was that you had to clear two notifications - in the settings for the standard SMS app, you can switch off notifications so presumably this is what you should do if you want to use another app for SMS.

It used to be on the CDMA Hero, that the default messaging app was buggy and drained our batteries severely. Anymore, it's a preference thing. Some of them have more features, a different look, etc.
For me, handcent has the advantage of a nice popup option built in and the ability to automatically resize pictures for MMS.
I use handcent sms because of the many settings-options you have and because of the blacklist function!
Standard app was just too.. standard
just installed Handscent sms, it looks identical to iPhone sms, lol.
SMS Popup is the best one I've tried.
I found the Handcent UI options weren't as sleek as the default app.
Was running handcent but when in landscape mode it crashes so switched to chompsms no more issues
i know i was reading it somewhere, but when installing a 2nd sms application like handscent or chomp, dual notifications occur.. is there way to remove that?
Go to defualt messages app. hit menu turn off notifcations.

Tried that and it doesn't work. I get both the Handcent and the envelope icon. It is getting annoying.
getting triple notifications and dont know how to make it the default message app, and to only notify using the handsent notifications

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.

Don't think its possible on stock app its very limited in functions, better stopping it doing anything turn all notifications etc off and use a 3rd part app like Handcent
Hello,
I used Disa for Facebook and WhatsApp. I found that after adding text messages plugin began to display notifications from WathsApp and Facebook in the Alway On. Maybe it helps someone

Samsung, should have thought about this before offering always on display. I mean, we check for what is sent and if I have to always touch my device for every notification then, what is the purpose? A clock?
Disa wants me to remove the Whatsapp app! Of cause I am not willing to do that, for It might remove the conversations.
So, I could not test it.
It will show AOD notifications only if also used for SMS?
Yes.
What is the extent of the notification ? Only a symbol or some text?

You can backup all your convo's in whatsapp also so its a easy restore if you want to install it again.
thanx! it really works! whatsapp + sms = notification on AOD!

sorry, it doesn't work. I configured facebook and whats up, but when I received new messages nothing had shown on AOD
