I am rooted running Celeb 3.0 and was wondering if I am using Handcent for all messages what would happen if the stock Messages app was removed? Will I still be able to send/receive messages?
Sorry if this doesn't belong in this forum.

To my knowledge you cannot remove the stock messaging app as handcent and all others ride off that. To answer the other part, yes this should have been asked in the Celb thread instead of starting its own thread. Im sure Conap or one of the others would have answered it for you.
you'll generally want to ask ROM specific questions in the ROMs thread
------------------------------------------------------------------------
i had thought that you could remove the stock messaging app... but i could be wrong (pretty sure you could do this on 2.1 ROMs... not sure on 2.2 i guess)
Thanks for letting me know....still getting the hang of the rules.

If you think about it this really isn't a rom specific question, Its just a question about android. Just because the OP added a note that they were running celb3.0 dosen't make it a question about the rom.

Yes I agree that this could be a general android ? but then it should be in the general ?s section still. Main thing I was saying is that in dealing with conap before he is totally open to ?s like this and would also know better.
Make a nandroid backup. Delete the stock mms. See if handcent still works. If not restore your backup. I've had people tell me it doesn't work and some people tell me they have had no problems when removing it. I don't use handcent or sms/mms at all for that matter so I haven't tried it myself. And as others have said feel free to ask this type of stuff in my thread...
A) It belongs in Q&A... duh.
Anyway, handcent will still work but your notifications for it won't. I've tried "freezing" the app with titanium and I get the same issues.

Yeah, you'll still get SMS but not MMS. You'll also encounter several issues. I've tried it already.

Every time I receive a picture in an MMS I get another message from "Anonymous" no subject. I open it and it say "message not found" I receive the message multiple times until I delete the original message. This happens in the stock messaging app and in Chomp. Uninstalled Chomp and it still happens on stock.
Rooted running UnNamed v1.0.1
Bump for some help. This is really annoying

Does this happen when you try to send a message to certain people, or just one person in particular? I wonder if maybe it's a read receipt notifying you that it was delivered? I'm on a custom ROM so I can't check. Try going into messaging, hit menu, then select settings.
Otherwise, maybe it's a carrier issue.
No Trojan this happens when I receive picture messages. From anybody on multiple carriers. May be an at&t issue. I think this happened on my Infuse too but don't remember if I ever resolved it

It happened to me on my Atrix. I found if I ignored it and didn't open it, it actually deleted itself. As far as I can tell, it's related to read receipts. Unnamed Rom doesn't offer the ability to request them and I don't think Stock did either but I also don't use a 3rd party messaging Application. Try turning off Read/Delivery Receipts on your device and see what happens.

From what I have been able to tell, it is a Carrier Issue AND read receipt issue.
Anyone found a fix for it yet?
Happened to me today, we both use GoSMS but I think she has enabled delivery receipt.
did you happened to fix it?
I love how people are complaining that this was brought up again in another thread, which in fact led it to being locked even though there is no answer on this board. It is really annoying getting those messages. I have searched "blank anonymous", "blank message", and just "anonymous". Only two threads come up that are related to this issue. This one, and the one that was just locked. So if anyone truly has an answer to this issue and doesn't worry about trying to look cool by insulting users, please provide the answer, or at least point us in the right direction.
Thanks
I found a way that worked for my phone. I'm using ChompSMS and I would always get those and they would keep popping up.
All I had to do was open Chomp settings > SMS & MMS Network > MMS Network Settings > set "auto retrieve" to UNCHECKED.
I cant confirm that this will work (especially if you dont use Chomp as default), but it did work well for me. Good Luck

I've tried that. It doesn't do anything. Once I download the mms I'll get the anonymous message.
I've had this issue when I was on my Captivate. I tried flashed a few different ROMs and even went back to stock and the issue was still there. It was one of the reasons why I upgraded to the GS2 before my contract expired. However, the issue appeared on the new phone. The real problem was that my SIM card was messed up. Once they replaced my SIM card, everything was working fine again.

Try having him download another SMS app such as handcent or gosms and see if they can open the thread.

After a certain amount of texts the stock messaging app for every ROM loads forever or crashes when trying to open. I use Handcent and it always works. 10000+ texts.

I had the same issue, kind of. I couldn't send a specific person any texts. The word "Loading" would pop up and nothing else would happen. I had to delete the contact and create it all over again.
For good sake, delete some messages. I mean, what, are they legal briefs? I used to always beck up Mt messages before flashing a new ROM. I finally realized, who the hell needs to keep texts (unless they're legal based). I don't bother anymore. But I realize that's nit the best solution for someone new to Android who things o'er may be better

I know that you guys are going to tell me to search through the thread. I'm actually not a noob I just lurk a lot.
I flashed SpeedROM 4.0 and now I am unable to send mms messages (redundant) while I'm connected to my WiFi. I searched all over that thread to find a fix and all I came up with was to install Android 4 ICS Messaging SMS over the Play Store. tried it. it came up with an error "Duplicate Provider Authority" Any help?
I also found out that there's no notification of messages on the lock screen nor does it chime/vibrate/notify when you receive a message from an unknown number

It's a general problem with the amaze on ICS, it's widespread, so don't expect a fix anytime soon.
It never happened on the stock ics with sense 3.6. If I knew how to do all of this stuff I would help. My best guess is that the answer is in the stock ics ROM. I have my stock backup if anyone needs it for study

Yeah I had stock ics for a while before I switched. I don't know how to flash the kernal though. Honestly if I knew how, I'd just put stock ics mms.apk in the.zip but I tried that already and it canceled the install. Don't know how to do that either

"Duplicate Provider Authority" means that you are trying to install something that the phone already has system flags dedicated for(this explanation could be a little better).. Speedrom already has the MMS app, use a root tool, titanium backup - something to remove mms.apk from the system/app folder, then you will be able to install the one in the market -- not that that is a sure fire fix.. but one thing at a time. Try that, that is the only reason you couldn't install.
Hi. I recently deblurred my phone using Lokifish's deblur script. It worked great and I'm loving it. Only one problem. After an hour or two of use, I notice that the icon for the ringer toggle disappears (only the on icon, the silent icon remains). The toggle works fine, but I'd like to not have a missing icon.
The first time this happened I thought it was my fault, because I removed all the icon png files that were showing up in my library. However, after restoring a nandroid backup, the icon disappeared again over time. I even tried restoring a stock backup (nandroid backup of stock photon after 2.3.5 OTA update) and going through the whole process of running the script again. Same result.
During the first hour or two of use after deblur, I'm generally going back and installing all my apps again, adding widgets, getting settings back the way I like them, and so fourth. So, I think it has something to do with one or more of these tasks.
I'm just wondering if Lokifish can help me in getting the icon back. I'm posting here, because I'm too new to post a reply in the deblur thread since it's in the developer forum. Please let me know. Thanks.
You are never too new to reply or ask on the thread of the developed thing you have problem with. You should only avoid posting new threads on the developer section, unless you developed or found something and want to share it.

Thanks, I appreciate your reply. Unfortunately, when I try to post a reply to a thread in the developer forum, I get the following error:

The reason below that line that I think most applies to myself is the following:

This is why I have made the determination that I am "too new" to post. If this is inaccurate, please let me know, as I would love to be able to post a reply in the Deblur thread regarding the issue I experienced.
Thanks again.

Sorry, my mistake. It's normal that you're unable to reply on the developer forus, just as you said. You can try to do what matrix says, factory reset twice. Then try to restore data using advanced restore within recovery mode.

Thanks, but I actually have a nandroid backup of the "deblurred" stock ROM. When restoring from that backup, the icon is there for a while and then it isn't. I also reverted to the stock 2.3.5 ROM, without the deblur, and when I went through the whole process again, the same thing happened. Icon is there for a while, then it isn't. I need a way of getting it back without any resets or restoring from backups. If not, I can live without it
Thanks again though. I appreciate the suggestions, they are just ones I've already tried.

Even if you reinstall it, you won't get your icon back... this is something related to application and memory problem... when I restored my backup, same issue again... didn't find any solution except installing lesser apps...
In my case some go application is causing a problem...

Interesting. Well, I figured it had to do with adding apps since that's the first thing I do after the deblur process is completed. However, I'm thinking there may be a way of forcing ADW to reload it, but I'm not nearly familiar enough with linux (or the ADW launcher for that matter) to figure that out on my own.
Oh well, as I said before, I can live without it if needs be. I'd rather have all the apps that are currently installed than the ringer icon. Thanks for confirming my suspicions, though.

It is always recommended to do a full wipe with any of these builds, even weeklies. You do not have to, though, as they are pretty stable without.
If you choose not to, please do not complain about any bugs since you cannot be sure it is caused by old data left over from the dirty flash. The devs will not tolerate this type of behavior.
