Hey.
I use another sms app and I want to make it so when I press "Messaging" icon which is on the main screen to open that app rather than the stock messaging app....?
I know I can drag the stock icon to the home screen, but I like the stock messaging icon and want to use that for this app......
please let me know
edit read wrong
Download the app Desktop Visualizer and use that instead
- nvm thought you could do it this way but it's not working for the icon -
Long-press home screen to get to the menu
Custom shortcut -> Applications -> Pick your activity (in this case: your alternate SMS app like Handcent or Chomp)
Press the logo on the left of "Pick your activity" and change it to the default Messaging icon
thanks, but looks like it would not use the default launcher, but it will use launcherpro or any other launcher.......
When plugging the Motorola Photon into the HD station, for now, I REALLY want to select Dismiss Picker and remember this selection so generally, it doesn't bother me again. However, I want to know that I can get the picker back if some day, I want to change the setting.
How do I clear this default should I chose to set it and have it remembered? I get that you can clear the default if you pick an app like Webtop. You can do it by way of managing applications / clearing defaults under settings for that particular app. But Dismiss Picker is not an app.
Any ideas?
Setting applications all. Scroll down to whatever is default now and click it then clear defaults.

In the second section of my question, I stated that I get that normally, you can go into settings and apps and change an app's default. But DISMISS PICKER is not an app.
Does anyone have any further information about this and how to get rid of dismiss picker as your default action when plugging the phone into the HD station?

I am pretty sure that you can drag the status bar down and choose from there. There is a notification that says connected to hd dock. click on that and you should be able to choose from there
i have galaxy s2 with 2.3.6.I want notifications to be seen on widgetlocker lockscreen but i can't.I just see them on status bar of the phone that is at the top.
Need your help
Open the WL settings by choosing WL from app drawer, then use settings capacitative button on phone. Go to "popups" & make sure you have untoggled "hide sms popups."
EDIT: Meant to say go to "settings/popups."

Go into widgetlocker settings advance and now make sure you have a check tick in box for Show Notification Icons...

That won't solve his problem. All that does is place a WL icon on the notification bar. He wants popups, I think.

Hmm. I don't know. I would suggest using the "report bug" option in WL settings menu to email the dev. He has been very responsive to my problems in the past. Sorry I couldn't help you more.
Just looking @ my gosmspro settings and I see that I had to specifically enable popups. What notifications are you wanting that you are not getting?

I got the SGS2 yesterday as well and have the same issue. No popups when i get a Text.
I was hoping to get the Notifications Bar. I have the SGS 1 and in the widget lockscreen i can pull the Notifications Bar down but with the SGSII this is not the case at least not with a PIN. I like to have a PIN on the phone but still be able to do simple things like read text messages or change a song. The sense lockscreen can do this.
I don't get why samsung made there lockscreen so plane that if you enable PIN,Password/Pattern you can no longer side to go in to message or call log. Was hoping the Notifications Bar would be a good work around but no go
I'm a little confused, so does the S2 have popup notifications for sms? I never seen them just get them in the little status bar...
I am running UnNamed rom, and using WL. On the WL screen, I have placed a scrollable widget, "Call Log Scrollable," available on the Market. It works fine, updating on top of the WL screen. (You have to have scrollable widgets enabled, but you can do this with a launcher program like Launcher Pro, without having to root.) I also have no problem with SMS popups from my GoSMSpro text program. These are all easy to use, and may solve your problem. None of this requires root.

Thanks this is somewhat what i was looking for. I see it has a widget, I would love it add it to my lockscreen but its just to big. Is there some small only that does not have all the buttons similar to the iphone?
Also I see the popup, but if i don't do anything an the screen turns off and later turn on the screen the popup is gone yet when you unlock it it's on your homescreen this is kinda annoyng which is why i think a small widget just on the homescreen would be best or similar

You can resize any widget on WL by opening the WL app from the app drawer, which will bring up the WL screen. Long press on the widget and you will get a popup menu allowing you to resize it. Be sure you are setting the icons as "widgets" and not as "shortcuts."
Not sure what you mean by being able to see the popup. Isn't that what you wanted to begin with - to have an sms popup appear on the WL screen?
Here is a shot of my WL screen.
can try downloading sms unread count from the market. i use that for calls/sms notifications.

What happens is that when you have Go SMS Pro popups active, the popup will show up on top of WidgetLocker just fine.
However, if you are reading the popup on top of WidgetLocker, and the screen turns off in the middle of reading it, turning the screen back on (in order to read the rest of the text message) will cause the popup to disappear and to have WidgetLocker go back on top of the popup.
Then when you unlock WidgetLocker, the popup is on your homescreen. It gets to be quite annoying.
It seems that Widgetlocker allows the popup to be on top only once, but doesn't let it continue to be on top. I've emailed the dev of WidgetLocker regarding this issue but never heard a response.
Another quirk is when you read the Go SMS popup on top of WL, then try to touch "open" to open GoSMS, it doesn't open GoSMS but instead goes straight to the stock lockscreen (and not widgetlocker), at which point when you unlock it, it then goes to Go SMS.
You can modify the WL screen timeout to a different setting from the system screen timeout, using the WL settings menu.
As for me, I don't want someone to be able to access GoSMSPro w/out going thru my lockscreen. Personal preference, I guess.

a bit of necromancy, but I happen to have same problem as OP. got free version of NOVA launcher, and widget locker (phone is rooted, and root helper is enabled). still no missed call/messages notification on lock screen. I even downloaded Tesla Unread, activated through locker widget settings, and still no notifications.
I'd appreciate any advice!
I use go sms instead of the stock text message app, but when I unlock the screen on the 4-tab lock screen it takes me to the stock messenger app. Is there any way to link the go sms app to the lock screen instead of the stock messenger app? I really don't like widgetlocker or any other lockscreen app.
Go to app settings and find the stock messaging app and do clear defaults, then the next time you use the tab to unlock your phone it should ask you to assign a new default.

It says no default set and the button is greyed out so I can't clear anything
Any other suggestions
I'm having trouble with Handcent and notifications - namely double notifications with the stock Messaging app (even when everything is checked off in the ATT app) and then the Handcent app can't wake the phone, just makes the alert sound, of which there's two separate notice sounds.
ALSO, no red dot notification on the HC widget using Go Launcher EX with Go Notification installed. Any ideas?
just go into the stock messaging app and turn off notifications...... i had to do it, and had to do it with gosms.
yes.. go into default messaging text app click menu,,scroll to bottom and disable notifications......then in handcent click menu>Applications setting> Default Messaging application >Allow All Sms & Mms ,for default..
