SMS messenger

First off im a complete HTC nood, never used sense before, and never had to use an SMS app because every other phone I owned had a pretty decent messengin app preloaded... Not so much the case here huh?? Does anyone know how to turn the stock SMS off without rooting? Is there a way? I'm trying to use handcent or how ever you spell it and I'd like to only have that app notify me when I get a text...
TIA

can no longer recieve mms

as of a few days ago i can no longer seem to recieve mms messages on my phone. i can send both pics and vids and have them go through, as well as send and recieve normal txt messages, but for some reason i can no longer recieve mms messages. i took my phone in to att and they gave me a new sim card, but its still having the same issue. anyone have any ideas as to how i can go about fixing this?
Did you freeze any Apps. on your phone? If you are using handcent and froze the stock messaging app. it will not let you get you mms.

or maybe you need to reconfigure apnĀ“s
I think I may have frozen the stock messaging app and I do use handcent, ill have to defrost it and see if that works. I already tried creating a new apn, that didn't work.
Unlocked alien atrix
I also have this problem on my Atrix.
Just unfreeze the stock messaging app it will work again.

Question about text messaging

Is there anyway you can make your text alert come up like an iphone?

I use go sms, I think its similar...
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Yea. Go SMS has that option along with a ton more.

To clarify a bit: no, you can't get notifications this way right out of the box with a stock or AOSP-based ROM. But there are apps from the Market that will give you pop-up text notifications. You can use GOSMS as the other posters suggested, but if you don't want to use a different messaging app, there are also apps that will take over the notifications while you continue to use the stock messaging app to read and compose your texts. Search the Market for keywords "SMS notify popup" or similar and you should find what you're looking for.
Along with Go SMS there's also handcent sms which is similar.
If you want exact iphone replica messaging, then try chomp sms. I've been using it from a while and I love it.

Swifted from my Atrix.

SMS customization

Is there any way to customize GO SMS or Handcent SMS to have it show the contact photos in the conversation itself? (Like on Stock Android)
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I don't know about Handcent, but I can't find the option in Go SMS Pro.
The pictures must be already placed under the contact in the phone book. Then they will show up. (Gosms)

I was referring to the conversation itself (bubble or list) . In stock in the convo. Itself the image appears next to the text of whomever sent it

They show up just fine for me. I am using handcent but I used to use go SMS and it worked fine as long as i didn't sync Facebook. Syncing FB caused issues
^ nice member! ..... sorry I misunderstood ur question.

Is it possible to password protect the messages app?

How would I go about doing this? I'm currently using the Omega rom and would prefer it if I didn't have to switch but I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks.
Play Store is your solution. Search it.
You can try SMS Lock apps or use Hancent SMS.

I liked Textsecure. I didn't use the encrypted message function just for the encrypted and password protected storage with a timeout. You can check it out here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thoughtcrime.securesms

'APP lock' by DoMobile Lab is what you're looking for
