Hello! Brand new here.. although I've been lurking for quite some time as a guest. Here is my first question: Is there a way to disable the text messenger application is this ROM? I want to use Handcent in place of this bland application.. The disable button is..disabled. I want the lock screen to go to the Handcent application like I can enable it to do on the stock ICS ROM. Thank you.

Hey I'm wondering if its possible to have the stock android messaging app on the our SGSII? I really dislike the samsung one, hate the bubble colours and the text compose style it has, been using hand cent SMS instead but I've just been wondering if its at all possible to install the Stock android one instead.
Thanks
i have the same question... anyone?
Hi,
You can install a Custom ROM based on AOSP like Gingermod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220283
It contains the Android messaging apk and then you can customize it by adding the Samsung apps you want.
Cheers
Have you ever considered Go SMS Pro, it's a much more featured app.
Its available on the market for free.
Yes you can, check out this thread:

When i install a custom rom, i expect that it includes all the features of Stock rom and has additional features.
But i realized that some of the key features of stock rom are not included in custom roms.
For example Stock Camera App has a lot of cool features like "Face Detection" and "Video Stabilize". But most of the roms has Camera ICS and it has not these features(in pro version it says it has video stabilize but i couldn't see it).
Also Stock Phone application is perfect for me because it has an opiton like slide right and left for messaging and phone calling. But in custom rom you need more steps to call or message.
So my first question is...
Is there any custom rom that has ability to use stock camera application and stock phone application ? Also i wonders is this possible or not ?(or any other stock application)
My second question is about an Iphone feature.We are sure that our sgs2 has a lot more features then iphone. But when i use iphone(yes i have one sorry for this) i see that contacts and messaging applications open fast as lightning. Probably the phone and messaging applications are always in memory on iphone even at startup!.
On SGS2 when i open conctacs application, even if i press home button after a while (after one hour) when i edit contacts it waits about 2-5 seconds to open it.(i have more than 1000 contacts)
Is there a way to keep contacts app and messaging app always in memory ?(or it may be any other application too)
Thanks
I think that WanamLite would be great for your taste as it's based on stock Samsung ICS Firmware.
If you can live without that Sammy's phone app, then maybe you should try MIUI or it's derivates( WIUI, RGUI, cMIUI). It has stock camera app. And the rom itself is beautiful, fast and stable.

Hello,
I hate Samsung's default SMS application.
Fonts are too big (I'm using Tiny size fonts), delivery reports comes as a seperate notification, no vibration options etc.
It is also ugly.
Is there any way to install Cyanogenmod's SMS application to Samsung based roms?
It would be great to install CM10's latest sms app to our LI1 based JB roms.
There are great features like Quick Reply etc.
Thanks.
Edit: Btw, I don't want Go Sms or Handcent Sms, don't suggest them. I just want Cyanogenmod Sms.
And I don't want to use CM10 since there are memory leak issue and Camera app is not functional as stock samsung.
Hello,
I bought an XPERIA U for my gf, she likes the phone, but as many girls she dislikes the theme/colors of the icons/apps.
The SMS icon is "ok" but when you go in its very sober and dark, and she wants something bright like in iOS, so I browsed the appstore and found SMS GO PRO, which is doing well.. But this app sends spam text messages now and then. So i'd like to find a way to have this standard text messaging app to do bright, by applying another theme?
or do I need to put a custom rom on it? for it to be bright?
If no custom rom is needed, which theme do I need to install (i'm very noob on this for the moment). I get my nexus 7 24th of september than I can play a bit more with android ^^
Thanks in advance

Try Handcent Sms mate
I wouldnt suggest you playing with ROM's just for a "brighter theme"...
Search for ilauncher apk, it resembles the iphone launcher.

Root phone and get themes from /system/vendor folder... Decompile one of them and replace pictures... Compile and copy to /system/vendor... Think this is enought for you. (maybe you will only need open apk with winrar or 7zip and replace pictures in res folder of theme)
BTW. Icons will be the same as in original theme.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Back on GB i was on checkrom and loved the ability to have transparent dialer and fullscreen contact picture. I know there are apps that can give u fullscreen contact pictures but I would prefer if its integrated as part of the dialer.
I have tried searching but so far I have not found it and so my question is whether there is an ICS rom with these features? I am currently on crieskelorom ICS. Thanks in advance!
