I just wanted to double check if its ok to remove the stock messaging client as I only use Handcent? I did on my G1 but you never know, measure twice, cut once.

SMS will work , but MMS will not , as Handcent is not a stand alone app for sms and mms .... it depends on the default messaging client to work right ... SO just disable notifications in the default app and you're all set....
Im glad I asked. Thanks a bunch man.

So I'm trying to figure out the point to the blacklist feature in Handcent. I know it hides all the texts that are on the list, but they are still accessible via the stock messaging app no problem. Is there a way to stop the stock app from showing particular messages, or disable the stock app all together? Just seems like a pointless feature to have if it is bypassed so easily.
remove the stock app from your phone, with root explorer

I wouldn't advise that. Isn't the stock MMS app tied into the framework? I believe this would kill your ability to send and receive messages.
I think the blacklist is to block who ever u want from texting you.

I always wondered if that was possible without breaking something....
With launcher pro you can hide it in the hidden apps list..or on adw just put it on your homescreen then.hold it then edit then change the name and change the icon then take off notifications

Launcher Pro allows you to hide applications and in the stock messaging app go to settings and disable navigation notifications. Problem solved.
Edit: I missed the post above mine.

if u are looking just to hide dome text so your partner wont find out....you need to download sms guard on the market ,install and go to settings and put a password do no one wont getting......that works perfectly....now the only problem is if the sent u a multimedia message it wont block ....hope it hepls
I've tried the blacklist from handcent myself but really didn't like it nor worked for me that well. Now I'm using blaclkist app from the market. Much better than the blacklist that comes in handcent.

I finally got around to uninstalling the stock messaging app and I noticed I wasn't getting MMS messages anymore even with Handcent installed. I wasn't even getting the text that came with the pic. After reinstalling the stock app the MMS messages worked again. Oh yeah, and this only prevented receiving MMS, not sending. Is this true for everyone or just me? lol
Its not a huge deal that I have to leave the stock messaging app installed but its redundant and takes up space.
I uninstalled mms.apk with no problems
I'm pretty sure the only third party text app that works well without stock is gosms pro.
Might want to talk with the miui developers they have mms working ob the evo4g. I was also having that trouble with aosp roms.

I was thinking of uninstalling the stock texting app as I use GO SMS Pro. You can actually input the settings into GO SMS, just rip them out of the stock app.
Thanks for the tip, I'll have to test Go SMS Pro. How does it compare to Handcent?

in the stock messaging app -> settings -> multimedia messages -> auto retrieve .. which I think only applies to MMS not SMS
As far as I've seen, there is only one place to control notifications for the stock HTC messaging app. In the stock messaging app -> Settings -> Notifications .. I would double check all the notifications are turned off in there. No notifications should appear if all those options are unchecked/disabled.
If you're still receiving notifications after double checking they are all turned off, then it would appear HTC didn't code something right in their apk and that is definitely a bug!
Hope the clarification helps! Let us know how it goes!
Yes sounds like a bug. What are my OPTIONS? everything was just like you explain only auto retrieve on mms nothing for sms

What would happen if we deleted or freeze the messaging apk? I'm having the same problem as well

Open Messages>Menu>Settings>Notifications>Received Notifications *uncheck*
That should be all you need to do. If you are getting more than one notification it may be a different app. You said that something pops up, stock messenger doesn't pop up. Do you have SMS popup installed by chance?
I removed mms.apk from system apps and everything is fine now.

That is not an option only for mms not sms

I hate how my screen turns on when I receive an sms message. I only need the notification icon in the taskbar and the led blink and if I disable the notifications from the settings the screen does not open but I loose the other notifications as well. Any ways to fix this?

Don't know if it's possible with the stock app, however if you're willing to use a 3rd party app, Go SMS does have an option to keep the screen off and quite possibly other apps do too.

switch to HANDCENT SMS, it is the best sms app, i am using it for a year now. Go to setting and disable pop-up. Now when you receive a message, it will vibrate, led will blink, but screen will not turn on. You will ses the message in the notification bar.

That's what I'm using right now but I want to minimize the use of third party apps as much as possible . Plus with handcent sms when I send a picture or video it doesn't work. I have to use the regular messaging app in order for my mms to leave successfully .

Still no solution for this one. I don't want to use handcent or go sms for two reasons. First I like the simplicity if the stock samsung app and second I use the direct call feature that only works with stock app. There must be a way to hack the default messaging app to stock opening the screen when receiving a message.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
BUMP. This feature is sooooo annoying!!!!
It irritates me also. I've used Handcent on every device in the past, but I don't want to for some reason on this one. I actually rather like the stock messaging app.
I suppose I'll go back to Handcent. The screen on is annoying, plus it creates a temporary wakelock that drains the battery even more.

Hi,
I'm trying to switch my SMS app on my GS4 from what came with my phone to hangouts. Currently when I send an emoji through the built in sms app it is sent as MMS instead of sms (it switchs as soon as i type an emoji) which is fine with me. But then I go to start using hangouts for SMS and I type an emoji and the recipient gets nothing. Please help. I would like to switch.

I'm not sure why it does it but for some reason in certain versions of sms apps with Samsung phones it defaults to mms instead. I know there is an xposed app which changes default long messages back to sms vs mms. I use hangouts as well but it doesn't give me that issue. Then again I'm on an S3
Edit: have you changed the default messaging app to hangouts inside settings within hangouts?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
Yes I have tried changing the default app within in hangouts. And the sending via MMS doesn't bother me. If it could fix it I'll send them through MMS inside hangouts if there were a way.

Try using the S5 SecMms_blue.apk.. It allows you to send emoji's through sms.. Just find your carriers or if your international based use theirs..
Just find it somewhere and install as a regular app. I'm not rooted nor plan on rooting.

Umm.. yea then you will not be able to accomplish what you want.. I know thats some Messaging apps use wifi to send pics, but the other person needs to have the same app..
Yeah def check out the xposed module. I think this is ridiculous. I know in the newest version of hangouts in the bottom left hand corner you can click and change back and forth between the two but if you add emoji it might not give you that option. It does me, but I'm running a rooted Moto Droid Mini.
