[Q] Shortcut for composing text message - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know there must be an easier way to begin composing a text message but have not figured it out.
Currently I have this set-up:
The native Motorola message widget is on the home screen
To compose a text I:
tap Message widget
tap "Go to Messaging"
tap "Text Messaging"
tap "New text message"
Then I am able to begin my text input.
Any thoughts on shortening this procedure?

I erased the message widget from my home screen and put the stock text message app short cut in place of the message one.
So I tap text messages
Then tap new message
Then type text

I use launcher pro and handcent messaging, so on my dock I have the handcent app docked and use the swipe feature to start the "quick compose" feature of handcent to start a new text message. One swipe and I'm on my way. Love the set up.

Text messages not being marked as read?

Using stock HTC Messages app. Everytime I get a text message and open up the app (whether through the notification bar or the app icon on my homescreen) once I click the back button to go back to the text messages list it still shows the unread bubble. I have to tap into the text message thread again and back out for it to be marked read.
Anyone else have this problem/and or a solution to this?
yep, and it's super annoying =(
When your done reading the text/msg try hitting menu and select mark as read

Go sms pro is a plugin for the go launcher ex, a highly customizable homepage and laucher app. It will give a pop up text reply window for incoming SMS/email/Facebook etc. You can configure which ones pop up on your lock screen with check boxes. Hope this is what you are looking for.

[Q] Themer and SMS default app

Why Themer opens SMS app with the create new message screen instead of the all messages like it is suppose to be?
If I click on my SMS icon in app list it opens the inbox sms, and If I create a widget and place a icon and choose Themer SMS it opens the screen to create a new message everytime.
It is possible to change that?

Wow 100 views and none answer?
Anyone knows if its possible to use a widget with zooper to open SMS, but the way it opens when you tap on the sms icon and not the way that themer opens "Themer Default SMS" ?
What I mean is, I could use a bitmap for example and when I tap on it, it opens my custom application. In this example SMS.

Hi,
This is a strange bug that our developers are still looking into. It seems that if you have multiple SMS apps, it'll open the New Message box. What SMS app are you using? Hangouts seems to work great, but if you're still having trouble let us know!

Any way to dismiss lockscreen notifications?

Is there any way that I can make a text message received on my lockscreen to be considered "read". All I want to do is see a message and dismiss it as read and turn off the lock screen. Why do I need to double tap lockscreen notification, open the stock messaging app, close the messaging app and then turn off the screen just to dismiss a message. I can swipe it but it will come back. Certainly an area that apple does so well.
