Hey all. I am running a stock 9505 and want to use messages+ as my main SMS app but when using any 3rd party SMS widgets when I tap a message it opens in the Samsung messaging app. Is there any way to change this without root?
I am no stranger to rooting but I want to stay stock till my 30 day early failure warranty runs out

test this;
Setting > Apps > all > messages < disable it
:good:
Tried that. Now when I press a message on any of the widgets nothing happens at all.

Have already done that, I want to change the default app that is launched when a message is pressed from a widget, am currently using Android Pro Widgets for the SMS widget but when I tap on a message the horrible samsung app opens, want to change to that messages+

Hi,
Does message+ not have its own widget?
Unfortunately not

Hi,
And Android Pro Widgets does not have an option to choose message + as its source?
If there is no such option ,then, you should email the maker of the app to either fix it,or show you how to do it.
send from stock contacts app once or reset defaults for stock messaging
I was going to suggest clearing the defaults for the stock messaging app in the application manager but mine was grayed out. I installed the messages+ app (just got my S4 and want a decent replacement anyway) amd then opened the stock contwcts app and sent a text to someone from there. I was given a choice of apps and picked messages+ and "always" instead of "just once." Then I found the widget and put it on my home screen. The correct app now opens. I hope this keeps working and works for you too. Your clear defaults may not be grayed out though since you already have another messaging app installed. I didn't. And if this messaging app is good, thanks for the recommendation! I'm new to Android.

Stopped using touch wiz and switched to launcherpro as my default home app, reduced lag by a lot
I first installed this program and deleted it. Well now I decided I want it back but it doesn't show up in my apps drawer. It shows up in settings under manage apps but still no way to set it as my default. I sent the dev an email but never got a response. What do I do?

Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Apps. Then press Menu > List all apps. Fine "twlauncher" and clear defaults for it.

Go to Settings - Applications - Manage applications - Press menu button (left bottom) - select filter -select running - go down to the bottom TwLauncher - Click clear defaults - press home buttom.
It will ask you what you want to use as your default.
Delete and reinstall it and it should ask to set as default when you press home

Yeah, TouchWiz is quite lagly at the moment.
I use home switcher app to switch from touch wiz, launcher pro or ADW. Its a great app to switch home replacements quick.

Fantastic! Thanks
I use Launcherpro and I think it is the best home replacement... better than Open Home which I used in the past...
LauncherPro Plus is KING! Can't wait for it's new widgets within the next few weeks.
This may not be specific to the S4 but is there a way to change the default dialer to Go Dialer. I don't care much for the default dialer's aesthetics and would like to use something more customizable. I haven't had any luck. The only options I get after clearing the defaults for the stock phone and contacts app is Phone and my Sophos.
Go.

Im guessing your talking about Go Contacts EX while on your dial pad hit your menu key themes and you can download some I like the Iceblue Theme.
Im referring to changing the default dialer from stock to go contact/dialer. Even when intiating a call from go contacts the stock dialer and sophos are the only options I get to select from after defaults are cleared from the stock phone and contact apps

I'd like to know how to do this too, trying to use Dialer One as the default dialer, but I see no way to modify this.
I have the same problem. Just got Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. Dialer I am using to setup - Rocket Dial Pro version.
But there are only are only Phone and Skype apps in "Complete action using" dialog box.
Tried to reinstall Rocket Dial, add/remove from device administrators. I must admit, phone IS NOT rooted!
I will try to contact Rocket Dial developer, as I am using commercial version.
Likewise Motorola XT910

Similar RocketDial problem with Motorola XT910 (except different "complete action using" options).
Any useful response from developer? Thanks.
Hey guys. Just wanted to bring up an issue I have had with my phone. Anytime I install a new launcher I have the same issue. When pressing the "Home" button my phone constantly (80% of the time) asks me which launcher I want to use, Touchwiz or (currently) Aviate. Eventhough I select Aviate > Always. It still does this to me. Even if I uninstall the app it still pops up and asks "TouchWiz or TouchWiz Easy" and it continues to do this until I factory reset my phone. Which is a pain. Has anyone else had this issue?
Tried rebooting after selecting Always?

Are you downloading a launcher from the play store? You should be able to go into settings and set new as default or go to factory app manager and find Touchwiz home app in list and click it there u can clear defaults on it

I went into the Default Applications and set Aviate as default, hit home button, and the same issue... And yes I did get this from Play Store. But again, it's happened with any launcher I tried on JB and KK.
Seems to be working atm. I'll update you if it changes.

Did you try this: Settings > General tab > Default applications > Message > select your preferred app.
Of course i did.....
You have to use the icon for go sms pro. It doesn't just magically replace the existing one.

Hello, I cant find reminder in phone. Install apk dont work and galaxy apps and google apps dont find anything. Does somebody have working app? Sorry for english
You sure?
The app is there but you think to "need" to use it first. i.e. reject a call with a text etc and that will prompt the phone to launch the app for the first time. After that it will ask you if you wish to create a shortcut. I did this using a Nova Launcher activity widget to start the app and now I have the icon showing under the apps list as usual.

I have the same issue too. I see the reminder app in the apps installed list but nowhere as an icon or app in Samsung Experiece.
I tried the above method also but no prompt of reminder.

Just ask Bixby to set a Reminder for you, that's what I did and then I had the icon.

I don't have the guts to activate Bixby haha
If you don't want to try Bixby, try "Nova Launcher" and create an Activity widget. Use the widget to launch the Reminder MainUI applet
In settings, under apps, go into the reminder app and in the top right corner you will see the settings icon. Select that, toggle on the online storage and finish configuring. (Add places, etc.) After you do this you will see the app icon in your app drawer.
