I have a Verizon RAZR MAXX running the official 4.1.2. I used the system messaging app for a while then went back to handcent. I made sure Handcent was my default messing app, but the lock screen does not change. Still has the system app. I thought maybe it was just the icon, but swiping down does indeed open the system app. Any way to change this or do I have to run a 3rd party lock screen like widget locker?

Disabling stock messaging app will solve this. If you have ROM Tool Pro, you can select and freeze the app. I am sure there would be other ways to do this as well.

The option to disable the stock messaging app is not present in my system settings. I am on the official Verizon OTA. I am also not rooted. Completely bone stock. Except now I am running Widget Locker to have Handcent as my messaging app. Although the strange thing is I just set the SMS action on widget locker and it opens Handcent. So handcent is the default messaging app.

Hi,
I have Go SMS Pro installed and disabled sound notifications in the stock Messaging app, however... When I get new messages and read them in Go SMS, I get a notification icon in the stock App (number of new unread messages) as well as in the social Hub, to which the stock messaging app belongs as well.
Any ideas how to disable it?
Use titanium back up and freeze the " badgetProvider". But it will give u forceclose notification everytime u get a message.
So another words, there is no menu option for doing this

Hi I also use Go SMS pro, and was hoping bypass the use of the stock messaging app.
Have you had any joy with this? Also is it possible to change the default homescreen icon for messages to open GO SMS Pro instead of the stock?
TIA
I use Go SMS Pro, too. But I don't have any problem having a notification coming from the stock messaging. What I did is I unchecked all the boxes from the menu of the stock. That's what I did from my old x10i, too. Works well for me.

As above, this sorted out the issue for me.
In the settings for the stock messing client uncheck the notifications box and that should get rid of it

Go to the App Drawer, press Menu button, tap Edit, you can then drag and drop GO SMS icon over the stock one.
I like GO SMS Pro i always used this with my HD2 but the stock SMS on the GS2 is a massive improvment on previous android efforts and i think ill keep this.
Just uncheck the notification setting in the stock sms menu?
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..
I've already tried a variety of SMS apps such as GoSMS, Handcent and ChompSMS. I'm looking for one now that can handle group chats, MMS, and emoji. GoSMS is too bloated with unneeded features, Handcent is kind of ugly and Chomp hasn't supported group chat for me very well. I'd stick with the stock messaging app, but I hate motoblur and after the OTA update to Jellybean, I seem to be stuck with that until a root exploit is developed.
Input appreciated!

I am searching for an app that opens the screen every time I recieve an message. I already tried "SMS popup" but the app is very buggy, I always get double messages and it interfere with viber. I dont want to press the power button everytime I get an notification or message, it is quite annoying
i use chomp sms with emoji add on, it's fine i guess. What i still want is an app that incorporates the emoji keyboard, has pop-up notificatiions when i receive a message, and handles group messages like the iphone(i know, im sorry for mentioning it) anything like that?

HandCent SMS
Handcent SMS
Go sms
Been using Go SMS for the last week or so. I like it. It gives a lot of flexibility and customization. As well as doing a pop up notification for new messages
I ended up finding a themed mms.apk and pushed it to /system/app and changed permissions to make it work with the ROM I am currently running. I prefer the Google Stock mms.apk to Verizon's Motoblur anyday. I just thought that Chomp was too simple and Handcent/GoSMS were too crowded with unnecessary features. Thanks for all the input!
I've actually tried some of the most common ones, like Go SMS, Pansi and so on - but the one I like the most is Chomp!
Only the paid version is ad-free - but it really is worth the money! Simple SMS app, with alot of customizing - and no slow-down extras (I'm looking at you, go-sms). And it does support full emoji, including the new ones with only one button.
Try it - I was amazed : )
(oh - and the pop-ups can be enabled in settings btw... )
I must be one of the few that hate pop-up messages
No - I actually really HATE those pop-ups myself - So I've deactivated them in Chomp!
Sliding messaging, give it a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5rbGlua2VyLmFuZHJvaWQubWVzc2FnaW5nIl0.

Yes and you can turn them off in settings.
I can recomend Handcent SMS.
Does anyone know if there is someway to modify the stock sms app so when everytime u get a message the phone unlocks and u can reply? I know there is sms popup and I have been using it for a very long time now but the app is very buggy. I get duplicate messages all the time so its very unstable. I like the stock sms app but everytime I receive a message I need to unlock the phone and drag down the notification bar. Any other suggestions?

I have been using Handcent for a few years now, my only consistent complaint has been that it runs like it is a huge program and has slowdowns.

Is there a way to only install circle widget and I wonder if its compatible with nova launcher prime?
On my N4, Kitkat I noticed problem with missed call.
I'm using exDialer and not stock one.
When I have missed call, I press icon in dashclock, but I'm always asked for "complete action with:" adn I have choice for exDialer or History (open stock dialer history).
I already cleared defaults on both apps, but problem persist.
So as I see, that extension can't remeber default app.

Got the same thing but with dialer+ app.
Someone may know a way to force using 3rd party dialer app as default ?
