Hello guys! I'm currently using Handcent but I just don't like how the default Messaging app is always on. Is it possible to remove the default since I have Handcent or it is needed for Handcent to work? Handcent is not a standalone messaging app?
If your talking about the notification on the status bar, you can turn the stock messaging app's notifications off by pressing menu in the app>settings>scroll down to notification settings and uncheck the first option.
If you want to uninstall the stock completely, you would have to do it through titanium backup.
Hope that helps!

Uhm, I'm not bothered by the double notifications but the stock messaging app. Without that, would I still be able to use the sms feature only using Handcent? Or is it dependent on the stock?
Why not make a nandroid and play with it? You can remove it with root explorer but the best way to do it would be to use adb commands while booted into recovery. More than likely, if you remove it with an app like root explorer or titanium, the app will be running at the time of removal and screw things up.
If you remove the app and something is screwed up, just restore the nandroid.
I'd be interested to know if things still work properly as i use handcent too.

Oh, good idea! I'll try it but can you teach me how to use adb to remove it? I have adb working, I just need the commands xD
Oh ok, that makes htc sense.
The best and easiest way to do that from your phone would be to download titanium backup off the market, which can uninstall stock apps like the messenger.
Just tried it, still recieving texts from handcent only, but you might still want to do a nand just in case.

I'm not a power adb user myself but a quick google search will tell you what you need to know. Here's a page I found - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706074
Go into a command prompt and enter:
cd (tools directory of sdk)
adb remount
adb shell rm (folder that app is in)/(app name)
exit

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.

This is pretty much what it does .. I have done it.

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.

The idea of screen capture is kinda cool, but for me it's a nuisance I don't use intentionally. The times I accidently do it, it messes me up in the middle of something. How can I disable it? I want to make sure it won't screw up the camera or anything.

use titanium backup, go to backup/restore, scroll down to screencaptureservice (in red text), press and choose freeze. This disables it without uninstalling it.

Is it possible to backup/restore the settings of either of these apps? After flashing a new ROM I can restore all my apps and settings via TB but neither Handcent or GoSMS have this ability. I have to tweak all the damn settings and colors which gets annoying. GoSMS has the ability to backup/restore SMS but I don't see anything for the settings and theming.

I manage to make a theme for my Handcent account and then I Sync it with my Handcent account and I everytime I get a new Rom I just login and Restore my theme.. and it works for me... I don't know about GoSMS...
Hope I answer your question...
Does that include customizations to the bubble and text color in conversations?
Believe me, if it's not a feature of go sms yet, give them a week... Those guys are relentless! They're the only stock replacement developers I use: launcher, sms and contacts/dialer are all top notch (GO Weather is still borked though, go figure lol no pun intended haha)

I stand corrected, the feature is already there. GO SMS allows back up of messages AND settings!

I think I'm blind, where is the option to backup/restore settings?
Use titanium backup for all the options it saves all the data, and back your text with go SMS pro.

Weird, my first post-GoSMS ROM flash only restored SMS but not settings while a recent wipe/flash I was able to restore settings as well. Not even TB restored GoSMS settings before.
Just uninstalled Handcent because restoring settings is a major selling point.
EVERY time I restore my Handcent with TB everything is fine. All my settings and customizations. The only thing it won't backup is the sms/mms. That's why I paid for the backup settings. I don't understand why you would be having any problems.
Me either lol. I bought TB pro and far from new to flashing, TB, etc. I'm just glad everything works now.
I was wanting to know the way to replace the system phone/contacts with rocketdial? I've tried this before,by deleting system phone and contacts thru TB but got tons of FCs.

you dont need to delete anything install app and then change phone and contact shortcuts icons in your home screen by the ones of the app
howver you can use system contacts if you want and after install the app if you go to a contact and press to make a call it will ask you wich dialer you want to use by definition you mark the box and choose app dialer and thats it...
i try it, before post sorry for my english but dont delete those apps from system the solution is right there.
just press thanks if i help you
Hi...
I am currently using Neko95 GingerSnap, and, since i tried MIUI, i loved the UI, i use ExDialer.
When i missed a call, the notification only disappear (automatic) if i open the stock app.
I Linked exdialer to ex partition of sd, rebooted and converted to sys app (Link2SD).
You still have the stock apps, but they are small...
The next thing that i will try, after consult the community if it works, is to, before flash, exchange the stock apps for the ones that i will use... (if someone that reads this can tell, please...)
With best regards, Shaib Lftg
Are you talking about extracting the rom than replace the phone and contacts apk with the dialer and contacts you plan on using ie...rocket dial and renaming it to phone.apk and vice versa

I don't like the idea of having multiple applications which have the same function on my phone... ie...

I use chomp sms as my messaging app on eclipse 2.3 and it gets killed in the background. Can I make chomp a system app to avoid it being killed?
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda app-developers app
Yes you can make almost any app a system app. Just move the apk to system/app and change permissions to rw/r/r and reboot. Although this in and of itself will not stop chompsms from being killed or pulled out of memory.

That, and I think if you make the app a system app, you wont get updates. Or at least update notifications. i dont know how that works.

an app like chomp sms should still get updated as a system app with no issues. as for it getting killed...do you have a task killer installed? The system is killing the process to free up ram for the rest of the system to use.
You can keep the app in memory and it shouldnt be canceled ever if you do this for your chomp process
Code:
sys.keep_app_1=com.p1.chompsms-1
should be the line to add to your build prop to keep it in memory. however it will always jack the memory it need but should never close
I don't have a task killer but I am running v6 supercharger
