On every other android phone I've had I disable notifications on the default messaging app because I use Handcent for my SMSs. Maybe I'm dumb, but I can't figure out how to do it on the Note. Is it possible?

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.
When I get a voice mail notification, I'm seeing the "push" notification of Visual Voicemail in it's SMS form.
Anyway that I can hide the voice mail SMS from the SMS client?
I'm currently using Handcent SMS, but I have not checked it happens with Sense stock messaging.
If you're using handcent, just blacklist it.
I didn't see those notifications under stock SMS, but handcent and chompSMS both show it. Best way to deal with it was to blacklist it. I've had mixed success with handcent (sometimes it still shows even if blacklisted) but blacklisting it on ChompSMS removed the issue completely.
Hey guys, I just rooted my phone and flashed to Cyanogen. However, I am still getting duplicate SMS/messaging notifications. I was using the stock Messaging program prior so I do not know if this problem previously existed.
I have disabled the notifications and auto-retrieve from the stock Messaging program.
I have enabled the notifications and delivery on chompSMS.
What have I done wrong? I've done some searching around, heard to reinstall messaging but that process just seems a little difficult. Have I missed something along the way?
CM5.0.6
Build: EPE54B
Thanks guys
Bump, still having this problem
Disable notifications in both apps and send yourself an SMS (although auto-retrieve should be on). Do you get a notification? If so, from which app?
Disabled notifications in ChompSMS and disabled notifications/auto-retrieve in Messaging.
Still getting notification from stock Messaging program.
GAHHH!!!

Crazy... can't help I'm afraid...
Would love to see a modified touchwiz launcher that swapped out the default messaging app shortcut with one for handcent. Also, it would be cool for the unlock to unread message shortcut on the lockscreen to go straight to handcent, thought I believe that may be more difficult, as the notification showing up on the lockscreen is actually produced by the stock messaging app as part of its notification.
Thoughts, ideas?
Bump bump~!
