OK, So I've changed the default SMS app from Messaging to Hangouts, for the main reason that I have a smartwatch and Hangouts allows you to read conversations on the watch. Problem is now that the default Messaging app keeps giving me Notification Badges. I've tried disabling it in Applications, but it doesn't show up in the "All" list.
Any ideas?

disable notifications via settings (or phone manager) >notification center>messaging.
The sms app is not a separate app. Its a combined app along with dialer and contacts called "huawei contacts".

I've installed Go SMS on my Desire Z and want to make it the default messaging app, but I can't find the existing messaging app to disable it.
From reading around, I understand the instructions to be:
Go to Settings -> Applications, then select the Messaging appliation. Scroll down and select 'Clear Defaults'.
But if I select the "Messages" application the "Clear Defaults" button is disabled.

You don't disable the app itself, you just open Messages (the default app) and disable the notifications in Settings. Then turn on notifications in the SMS app you want to use.

I am assuming you are getting double notifications from the built-in messaging app and GO SMS?
open up your stock messaging app from your app drawer and get into the main screen. from there, hit the "Menu" button to bring up the additional options and go into "settings". in there, you can disable retrieval capabilities as well as notification settings.
Alternatively, I believe you can remove the stock app altogether by using Titanium.
According to GoSMS instructions, do not remove messaging app as it gives GoSMS better functionality. Just turn off notifications on the original messaging app. On other apps that use SMS, such as Contacts, if you cleared defaults, you should have a choice now of what messaging app to use. Choose GoSMS and that becomes the default SMS for that app.

Try Handcent.
I've searched and searched for a solution but to no avail. I have uninstalled hangouts updates and reinstalled. I put messaging classic on my N10.
There is no options anywhere to choose a default sms app. when I try to tap 'Message Classic is not your sms app' nothing happens.
It's like there is no sms capability at all other than sending a msg to another hangouts member.
If I go to settings>more there is no sms option.
I can use google voice app but that's it.
So has anyone with 4.4.4 been able to choose a default sms app and if so, how?
Thanks
I just integrated my Sprint number with Google Voice hoping that I would be able to text from Galaxy S4, Nexus 7, or Chrome extension. This seemed to work, but I would get duplicate threads from the same person. I read where showing "SMS & voicemail in Hangouts" with Sprint integration will cause problems (https://support.google.com/voice/answer/6023920?p=voice_sms&rd=1). When I turn that off my duplication problem seems to go away. This puts my texting back to the way it was before integration (buys me nothing). I am not really interested in any of the Google Voice functionality. I would like to receive SMS/MMS from all my platforms and thought integration would provide this. Can this be accomplished and I am missing something? Running Galaxy S4 with SACS-NG2 at the moment, but also run CM11-M9.
my wife runs integrated gVoice on a S4 mini with no problems. She uses Hangouts for everything.
Never had a duplication issue.
Did you make hangouts your default messaging app? If not, this could be the cause of your duplicate messages.

Hangouts is my default messaging app. Duplication is related to "SMS & voicemail in Hangouts", but without that can't send/receive texts from my tablet.

Does she have "SMS & voicemail in Hangouts" checked?

Disable Hangouts and go to whatever app you were using for messaging. Enable that app and uncheck notifications in its settings. Reenable Hangouts. I have noticed for some reason when Hangouts is enabled it does not disable notifications from other messaging apps. You have to enable the old app to disable notifications and then go back to Hangouts and enable it.

It's not a notification problem. The texts are duplicated or the sender will be duplicated with one message blank.
I use a third party messaging app called "textra" but when I text another android user on AT&T his messages only show up in the stock messaging app. How do I fix it?

I love Textra for messaging! Have you tried re-syncing the messages again in Textra? In Textra go to Settings, About, and click on Resync Textra.
I usually do that after I restore my messages using Titanium. Some will show up and others wont. The Resync option fixes the messages right up for me.
I'm trying to synch Hangouts app as my default SMS provider, but there's no way in this ROM!
My problem is that I don't want to use two apps with notifications when one of them is capable of doing both tasks. When I had my nexus 5, I used to send and receive SMS only by using Hangouts (an app that I also use for many other things), but now I don't have any SMS options: Neither an option to choose the default app for SMS in my system nor a function in Hangouts to add my SMS number as an account.
Does anyone know how to sort it out?
Thank you!
Hangouts just removed SMS capability. You need a switch to a new SMS app.
But the last version of Hangouts of my Nexus has SMS capability, how can I get a similar version?
