Handcent SMS on lockscreen - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I do not have my Droid Razr M rooted and currently trying to put handcent sms on my lock screen instead of the default text messaging app. I have read everything that states all you have to do is disable the default text messaging app, but for some reason when I go to the app info I cannot select the disable button. The disable button is not highlighted and the only thing I can do is force stop.
I have already changed handcent sms to the default sms and mms and this is where I am stuck at.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

ChompSMS and builtin SMS Messaging

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.

Disable factory SMS (messaging)

I ve installed the CHOMPSMS and wonder how can i disable the factory messaging program (i installed ASTRO). I tried to change the LED Blink colour in ChompSMS but it doesn work, i need to set the light from Factory Messaging.
Please help
p.s. Does anyone know if there is an app that i can add the A-Z alpha onto my contact phone list so that i dun have to scroll around.
You can turn off the notifications on the stock app by going into the apps settings and scrolling to the bottom unchecking the box that says "notifications."
I hope this answers your question, and as far as changing the LED color, you need to be rooted in order to do that.
thank you!
I have rooted but i am unable to adjust the LED colour from ChompSMS, only can do it in factory messaging.
Uncheck the notification only not showing the icon right? does it disable the app permenatly?

I use handsent sms but also have sms popup. I have the notification off on the default and handsent. I use the sms popup because it lets me use trackball for different color for different contacts. Extra work but it works for me.

I quit using Handcent a while back because I wasn't using any of the features. I haven't used it since I got my N1 actually. I used to do a lot of work with the Dev on it. With SMS popup I can't get the trackball to work at all. You're using the LED setting right?
This is how I have the N1 set for trackball notification. 1st I have missed reminder install. I have the red selected for missed sms and blue for calls.I use handset for default sms but have the notification off, also the default messaging notifications off. I then have sms popup. Sms popup is enabled,for the quick yes or now replies, under the contacts notifications have different colors selected for contacts.

You're using the "LED" selections right? I'm trying it and none of them are lighting the trackball.

In what application? Please be more explicit.
I have the same setup as jerrycycle (coincidence) and for example using SMS Popup - Notification | Default Notifications | Enable Notifications (disable notification in the standard messaging app) and then go the the Led Configuration section and set your options. Now, use the Test Notification function to test your LED's.
You need a custom ROM but you should not use any LED mod for this.
The led will work for the chompsms and handcent. The custom option has to me the chosen option and the time has to be set. There is a 3 second delay before the custom colors work. I can't say what to set it on without reconfiguring my phone to test.

Is there a way to see entire "long" messages in stock SMS client

Hello,
I cant believe that Galaxy S stock sms client cut of long sms messages and you have to dig deeper in the sms client to see the entire message.
Is there a way to change this behavior, so that you see the entire message in the stock sms threaded view ?
I have installed Handscent sms to solve the problem but it would be nice if the stock sms client could do the same.
And another question,
If I would like to change what starts if I press the "message icon" on the home screen from the stock sms client to Handscent sms client. Is there a way of doing that, so when I press the "message icon" Handscent sms start immediately.
Thanx for you time,
//arcspin
Dunno how handscent works, but just go to editmenu, and replace the messaging icon with the handscent icon?
edit: Applications -> menu -> Edit -> move the applications around
SWEET
I never understood that you could switch the home screen icons as well.
I'm impressed with that...not so much when they cut messages short but anyway...
Galaxy S is getting more and more pleasant to use

Disable notifications on stock messaging for use with Handcent?

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?

how to restore default Samsung app

Hi guys, tried searching the exisiting threads and read the help forum, but cant fina an naswer to my problem.
I downloaded and installed the jellybean messaging app for my S4 i9505 as I prefer this messager to the default Samsung one. But every time a message comes through I get two icons, two sound and two notifications for every message, So i uninstalled the default app thinking it just a shortcut to the messaging system and now no messages are coming through. I can still access my messages through the jellybean app.
Does anyone know hoe to recover the default messaging app?
Thanks
Actually would removing the default messaging app actually cause my phone to totally stop sending and receiving sms messages?
ok guys, so turns out it had just been disabled and appears way down at the bottom of the all apps section of application manager
So you can just re-enable it there. Although not sure if my sms is still working if not its obviously a network issue
