is there any way i can delete the mms app and replace it with..

handcent??

short answer: no.
hand cent and other messaging apps just read the messages out of the stock app.
if you remove it then you won't get any messages. but nandroid and try it, don't take my word for it

You can turn off all notifications in the stock app and use handcent. It will show up in your app drawer but other than that it's like it's not there.

im getting 2 notifications on my device. i desable the notification on the stock app but still shows up.

If you have everything turned off in the stock app then yea, it's beautiful widgets giving you that notification.

[Q] limit auto rotate

Hi,
is there a way to limit where the auto rotate feature functions, rather than completely disabling it?
About the only place I use it is in the gallery, and so it's quite annoying when it happens by mistake in the market, for instance.

You can buy Tasker in the market and create a rule to only allow auto-rotate for x app, or simply put a widget on your homescreen and remember to de/activate it when neccesary.

Brilliant - I had never heard of tasker, but it's a really powerful tool. Thanks

Turn off Default SMS & Call Widget on Lock Screen

I do like the stock 4.3. Its much smoother compared to 4.2.1.
But what I don't like is the default SMS widget that shows up on the locks screen when we receive an SMS.
Same goes for Miss Calls.
The sms is displayed on the screen itself, so basically anybody could read the sms as it arrives (I dont like putting lock).
I know, there is a setting to disable sms display but that will turn off the displaying of the message on notification bar aswell.
So is there any way to turn off that widget ? I couldn't find any yet.
Infact, this whole lock screen widget thing is not so cool because, as per my experience, if I put widgets, the phone takes up a while (1-2 secs) to wake up.

if your on a rooted device,then probably you can freeze that widget using titanium backup or linksd. or on a unrooted phone you can also disable it. settings>apps

Could you point out which one to turn off ?

I've turned off most of the unusable apps. That reduced my ram usage to 800 mb now but didn't find any app to turn off for this thing.
Could you point out which app u r talking about ?

sorry I dont know which app/process it is because I don't own a Samsung device!
you must try to find it yourselves by just freezing apps/process related to lockscreen one after the other!

hmmm... what r u doing here at the first place?

Had the same question as thread opener. I'd prefer to use dashclock to handle this kind of things, non that Samsung stuff. And, at the same time, I'd like to keep text content readable on notification bar. Is this lock screen notification disposable somehow? I see nothing that could be related to it in settings
Note 2 N7100 - DN3 ROM @240 dpi - MK4

I took the other way to solve this one..
I have actually installed Textra sms client and I have kept the stock Messaging app aswell.
So, now on, the new sms is captured by Textra and displayed on status bar like before. And if I want, I can use stock sms to reply or read, but I prefer textra now. In case you prefer textra, u can actually turn off stock Messaging from App manager and permanently use Textra (or any other sms client) as a replacement.:laugh:

Just install a 3rd party SMS app and disable notifications in stock app.
Donnt be bothered about RAM when using a powerhouse such as Note 2

I managed to obtain what I needed with rom toolbox pro using its auto run manager function. Make system apps visible, than look for a package named com.sec.android.app.keyguard and disable the first receiver, whose lengthy name ends with "missed widget provider". No more notifications on lock screen taking the place of my widgets (namely dashclock)!
Hope this helps, fell free to ask for clarifications if needed. No side effects noted until now, but I seldom receive text messages since WhatsApp has been invented, so it hasn't been tested much. Cheers!

Search : Disable Samsung Notification Widget APK* on google, then click on the first link.
It's a mod for xposed installer, for rooted device. This mod remove totally the new message widget and missed call widget of the lockscreen.

Can someone provide me note 2's kitkat lockscreen widgets for the messaging app and dialer only?
I need them badly and don't want to download the whole firmware for just 2 files.

Stop screen wake on notification

I'm getting really annoyed with the fact that all sorts of completely unimportant apps on my phone decide to wake the screen when they have a notification. I am OK with these notifications being on the lock screen, I just don't want it to keep randomly waking up.
I just can't find a setting anywhere to disable this behaviour. Is there anything I can do with root since apparently there is no way to disable this in the standard settings UI?

This is just how sony messages app works. Use a different app for messages to disable it. Samsung does this with their stock messaging app as well and its annoying. Running xposed there are a few tricks to stop it if you wanted to use teh stock messaging app for whatever reason.

It's not the Sony messages app (which I don't use). It's all sorts of low importance apps on my phone. I do want the notifications, but not the screen wake.
The worst offender is the game TwoDots. Every time it notifies me of new things happening in the game, the screen wakes. Even if I ban ALL notifications from the app, it still wakes the screen when it would've notified me (I can tell from logcat). I just wish I could ban all apps other than phone calls from waking the screen.

Never once had any app other than messages do that, Id be uninstalling them immediately lol You can run xposed and gravitybox to fix this though.

I haven't bothered with Xposed since Nougat. Just using Magisk.
Ugh even the Tapatalk app is doing it too.

I really don't know what's going wrong. I don't face any of these issues, with none of my apps, even Sony messaging app works without waking my screen up.

Turn on Lockscreen on receiving notification

Can someone help me to get this simple feature of -
Waking the lockscreen on notification.
Why should one have to use a third party app like-
Glimpse notification
Smart wake
Floatify
for this awefully simple action.

and there is security risk for that!
you can see content of notification but unlocking phone with each notification is not good
go to apps and notification section in setting and select to see all content
:good:

I'm using either floatify or smartwake for this purpose.
As no rom is yet supporting wake on notification.
