Does anybody knows how to change it??? Because it doesnt appear the option in messages--settings
Grab a alternative sms program like sms go, handcent or something similar, lots of skins there and all your sms are preserved

I want to replace the default SMS app with the one I downloaded [Handcent SMS] is this possible? the reason being is when I receive a text I get 2 notifications now 1 from the default and one from the one I installed
try to backup the orginal and remove it.
I'll give it a go, thanks
UPDATE: so far so good ^^
can you say what are the benefits of 'Handcent SMS'?
is it so much better then the stock SE sms thing?
Yeah, I have installed a qwerty keyboard, I want to use it landscape for better typing [accuracy] but the default SMS app doesn't rotate whereas Handcent SMS does

There is no need to remove the default sms/mms application.
Go to Definitions->Sony Ericsson (1st)->Messages (Last)->Disable Notifications
(Maybe names are a little different, but my menus aren't in English)

Much better looking and some customization. Pop-Up menu, alerts, message view, groups....
Disable sms notifications: settings > Sony Ericsson > Messaging > Uncheck 'notification'.
Handcent is too good )
I use handcent too. It offers a lot of options to customise the application and works well on my mini pro.
One thing I found out reading the x10 forum is you should not uninstall the stock sms application because handcent can't deal with mms on its own. Though perhaps this issue has been addressed in recent updates of handcent. I have not yet looked into it.
But definitively disable the stock notifications.

According to the latest news on the handcent homepage, it should've been resolved
I flashed the lockscreen mod for the vibrant and was wondering if there is any way to get the puzzle lock or lock from the EPIC to work with HANDCENT SMS
bump, looking for a solution for this too. I think it involves editing files to redirect from the default messenger to either chompsms or handcent but im not sure where to look.

Go SMS is themeable and has the light blue you are looking for.
Its from the market but its free.
If you're worried about double notifications, you can disable notifications in the stock sms app in the settings.
I know it's your first post and all, so welcome to the board. Next, go into the stock messaging app and wonder around settings for a while... looking for colors, themes, or any other setting. When you are done, go download Handcent from the market and disable notifications in the stock messaging like fpineda101 said. Feel free to look at the free themes in market for handcent or just change the colors, fonts, window style...
Hi,
is there a way to change default sms app by handcent sms without sms lost and by this way release RAM used by default sms app that run in background for nothing?
Thank you
I did that before.
But it turned out handsent MMS could not receieve MMS correctly, if you deleted original Mms.apk.
Not sure whether the new version of Handcent MMS has fixed this issue.
Now I like Mms.apk in CM7. Alos Miui Rom's Mms.apk is pretty good as well.
u can set handcent as the default sms app just selecting the option "set handcent sms as default ecc....." in the configuration menu.
i do it and the stock sms app just stop running or autorunning

Because in cm 7 we have stock sms app.
Hi guys,
I have this weird problem with my device. When I´m about to write SMS or e-mail or whatever I get this text field as shown in the picture.
I don´t know when or how it changed, but I want my old texting screen. Now I have no idea how many characters I have left in SMS etc.
I have official android 4.1.1, no root..I also tried some launchers, but it was still the same with touchwiz or go ex launcher or next launcher
