Saving text app settings? Handcent or GoSMS

Is it possible to backup/restore the settings of either of these apps? After flashing a new ROM I can restore all my apps and settings via TB but neither Handcent or GoSMS have this ability. I have to tweak all the damn settings and colors which gets annoying. GoSMS has the ability to backup/restore SMS but I don't see anything for the settings and theming.

I manage to make a theme for my Handcent account and then I Sync it with my Handcent account and I everytime I get a new Rom I just login and Restore my theme.. and it works for me... I don't know about GoSMS...
Hope I answer your question...
Does that include customizations to the bubble and text color in conversations?
Believe me, if it's not a feature of go sms yet, give them a week... Those guys are relentless! They're the only stock replacement developers I use: launcher, sms and contacts/dialer are all top notch (GO Weather is still borked though, go figure lol no pun intended haha)

I stand corrected, the feature is already there. GO SMS allows back up of messages AND settings!

I think I'm blind, where is the option to backup/restore settings?
Use titanium backup for all the options it saves all the data, and back your text with go SMS pro.

In GO SMS, menu>settings>GO SMS Services

Weird, my first post-GoSMS ROM flash only restored SMS but not settings while a recent wipe/flash I was able to restore settings as well. Not even TB restored GoSMS settings before.
Just uninstalled Handcent because restoring settings is a major selling point.
EVERY time I restore my Handcent with TB everything is fine. All my settings and customizations. The only thing it won't backup is the sms/mms. That's why I paid for the backup settings. I don't understand why you would be having any problems.
Me either lol. I bought TB pro and far from new to flashing, TB, etc. I'm just glad everything works now.

Safe to remove stock messaging app?

I've installed go sms and have checked the option to deactivate notifications from the stock messaging app and only receive them from gosms. I am still getting two notifications sometimes. I was wondering if it was safe to freeze the stock messaging app via titanium backup. By the way I'm rooted on tmobile. Any help, thanks.

never remove any stock app like messaging or browser as these are connected to core processes and will render the phone useless.... don't even disable the messaging app as this will cause issues. Just go into the options menu of the sms app and turn off notifications for stock sms then adjust your third party sms app notifications as needed...
Wow never occurred to me to go in the stock app and disable notifications. Thanks a lot guys.

Disable the whole app from your app management in the settings too!

I only get the 'uninstall' option come up and not disable! I'm wanting to disable the default message app as I'm using GoSMS and currently encountering MMS issues. Would like to narrow down the cause by disabling the messages app....any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Solved

[Q] Remove voicemail tab from stock messaging app?

Is there a way to remove the voicemail tab from the stock messaging app? I inadvertently hit it sometimes and the messaging app force closes. I use Google Voice for voicemail, so I'd like to remove this tab completely. Thanks!
nvm
Not without flashing some type of mod or custom rom. Or don't use the stock messaging app and you won't see it. I use ninja sms so I don't see it.

handcent sms question

I have a galaxy s4. I have handcent sms installed on my phone. I still have the regular android messaging app on my phone also. I just have handcent set as the default. I was wondering if there was a way to do this:
if i were to delete a text message from handcent, is there a way for the text to not delete from the android messaging app? i wanna have my android app keep all texts & not delete any, even if i delete from the handcent app. Is this possible??

[Q] GF No Longer Showing a "Reply to Text" option...

I'm running GFM 1.96.1124 and GF software R350XXU0BNG2. I no longer get the option to reply on the GF to any texts I receive. I have text templates setup on my phone (in the GFM).
Just so you know, I had the GFM 1.98.XXXX software previously, but backed it down to see if that would give me the text reply option again. Didn't work.
Any ideas from anyone?
Thank you,
Sammy
Are you still using the stock messaging app? If you are using a third-party app like GOSMS or Handcent you won't be able to reply.
I was using Messages+, which had worked, but stopped. I switched back to the default messaging app and it works now. Thank you.
