Hey guys,
Just a couple questions regarding my SGS2 running rooted Android 2.3.5:
1) Is there a messaging app which doesn't lag as much as the stock one? Also, I'm using GoLauncher, so will it allow me to replace the icon for the stock messaging app at the bottom of the screen with an icon for an aftermarket app, and will it show notifications of new SMS on my GoLocker lock screen?
2) How can I remove SMS log from my call logs? I saw this thread but have no idea what it's talking about when it asks about DEODEXED ROMs, and I can't find any system/app file on my phone when connecting it to my PC?? Can I simply just download a file and flash it via CWM or something?
3) I use the standard Email app, which is good, but it doesn't show how many new emails I have when I put a link to the app on my home screen. Is there a way to make it show how many new emails I have?
Thanks!!
For number 3, the standard email shortcut when placed on your home screen should have the number of unread mails at the top right corner the form of a orange circle, just like messaging.
Cheers mate, anyone know the answers of the other two?
anyone? :S

To answer my own question for others to benefit, I found an app in the Market called Samsung Log Converter which fixed this problem very quickly and easily!

Hello there from Greece...
I'm a happy owner of one LG P500 but there are 2 things that I can solve.
1) I install the HandcentSMS program and I turn of the notification from the native SMS app but in lockscreen.When I have an SMS which I read with Handcent,in lockscreen there is an SMS notification even if I have read this with Handcent.
I have to read this with the native sms app to disappear the lock screen notification.It's quite annoying all this....
How can I solve this?
2) I try to find an option to send songs via BT but I can't find something like this.Only with Astro File Manager I am able to send music.Is this the only solution?
Thank you in advance and a Happy New Year !!!
So:
1) This should be helpfull Remove lock screen message notification?
2) I also didn't find way how to do that by native app, but I haven't see problem in this (sending via some other app), because android doesn't have any file manager tool in android system - so it is quite normal.
I have a rooted SGS2 running Siyah 2.3 and Touch X-Power, with LauncherPro. I have the stock messaging app. When I receive texts from certain people in my contacts list, I get a notification but when I open the text to read it, I'm taken straight to the message create screen and can't read the text. No matter which way I try to enter the messaging app, I can't open the text or any previous ones that I've received from them.
This also happens if I have Handscent running, the message is accepted by the stock app but not Handscent... It's driving me mad.
Any ideas? Can I remove the stock app so that it isn't there at all and use something else like Handscent as the default?
If the app doesn't force close then it sounds like its a problem with either what you are doing or something other than the app.
But yea, you can remove the app and just use handcent if you really want to. Get Root Explorer from the market if you haven't already (its like £2 or something). Then navigate to system > apps > you will see a whole bunch of apks. Find MMS.apk and delete it.
Hope that helps.
Did you mess around with the settings?
Hello all!
I've installed Go Contacts EX on my Galaxy Ace and I came across these 2 issues:
1. I cannot clear missed calls log, even when I start the app and enter Missed calls section. "Clearing" it from Notification bar doesn't work either, because the number just increases +1 every time I miss a call... I have to use Phone (stock app) for this??
2. Also, using Contacts (stock app) I've setup default call numbers for contacts which have more than one number under them. Apparently, GO Contacts is aware of this [there's a star next to the default number]. However, it keeps asking me which number I want to use whenever I want to make a call or send a text message! It's really annoying! With the old stock app, all I had to do was slide my finger right or left respectively.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can it be fixed? Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Zeka

which ROM are u using ?
and go contacts ex probably cannot clear the call log. this is an android limitation for 3rd party apps to be able to clear missed calls.
(i use exDialer and have same issue, but there is a solution for exDialer - i use an app called NotiGo which requires root, this app helps exdDialer to clear calls.)
btw, if u miss the swipe to call feature from Samsung Roms, try exDialer - it has this feature.
Hello Amrith,
I'm using the stock (Vodafone) Samsung ROM. Haven't tinkered with device much, just rooted it and upgraded OS to version 2.3.5. That's it.
Seems like a poor decision to make log clearing proprietary to stock apps. Doesn't leave much room for creativity there.
It's not the swype feature that I miss, it's the effortless use of default phone number. It seems my (second) regular phone can't be beat when it comes to quick dialing & replies...
Thanks for your reply nonetheless.

Use titanium backup to make go contacts ex a system app. it will now clear missed call notifications.
I've try the method using Titanium Backup
it takes forever to finish...
then i reboot my phone and the apps had already gone...
it had been deleted...
If you want to make go contacts Ex a system app, follow this process. Titanium backup doesnt work sometimes.
Download root explorer or file manager app from market. After downloading, open root explorer or file manager. Go to sd card or data/app and copy go contacts ex's apk and paste it in system/app and set permissions to
RW-
R--

Reboot and enjoy.

Hello,
Hope someone can help with a fix.
I googled this so many times but still didn't find a solution.
When I use the T9 to search for a contact in the dialer, the contact shows up but the number under the contact is duplicated .
However when I open the same contact in the contacts all there is only 1 number and no sign of any duplicates.
I have checked and I have no duplicate contacts at all in my contacts.
I have also used the filter to only show contacts from my Gmail account.
But still same issue persists.
Second, can anyone confirm whether I can get the notifications on my lockscreen to be kept hidden until I use face unlock and then their content becomes visible without exiting the lockscreen?
Lastly, does anyone have any idea if it's possible with any app or mod to have horizon lights keep on blinking rather than just blink once when notification is received?
Appreciate any input, thanks

1st. Same here with me.
I tested & founded that the duplicate number is WhatsApp contact & not going away even if we choose only to show contact from Gmail account.
2nd. I don't think it's possible right now
3rd. Users submitted feedbacks on OnePlus forums & they said they are working on it.
Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah I read somewhere it's got to do with WhatsApp.
They suggested to remove all spaces from phone numbers in contacts, I tried with one and it worked !
But I have way too many contacts to do it manually for each one.
Looking for an app or some fast way to do it in bulk.

Export it from Gmail and then you can work on the .xml file in a file editor. Find & Replace [space] with nada
Then import it back on.
