How do I use Hangouts as default SMS app? - Themer General Discussion

Ok so I have a S5 and I don't really like the default messaging app since it lags during group texts.
When I install a theme, when I try to change it to Hangouts, the only option it gives is OK or cancel to use the default sms app....it does not let me change it to Hangouts. Is there any way I can change it?

It does not give me the option to use Hangout (google hangout is a sms app) the only option it lets me is the STOCK SMS app

Try this:
Long press on the homescreen - Themer Settings - App Preferences - SMS - Hangouts

Hangouts suck

have you tried disabling the alerts of your default messaging? with that way, the alerts from Hangouts are the ones that you are going to receive. Also, if your phone is rooted, you can use Titanium backup to freeze the messaging.

yes, Hangouts suck

[Q] Hide Text Messages

Is there a way to truly hide your text messages?
I use Smart App Protector to password protect my messages app, but I notice that when I receive a text, I get a notification (which I want), that shows the actual text (which I don't want). I just want the notification to say that I have a new text Message (don't even really want it to say who it's from).
I'm coming from the Iphone 4S and it had the ability to do what I'm talking about with regards to the notification.
Any ideas?

Yes.. that
Look into GoSmS pro or Handcent. You can control texts at a much better level.
Handcent has privacy settings to do just what you want.

[Q] Custom ROM - Android 4.4.2 DogeMod

I have rooted my Micromax A116 Canvas HD and updated to DogeMod Android 4.4.2(Android KitKat).
Thread reference - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663763
Now I am trying to disable the default dialer and make exDialer as my default dialer. But I can not find any way to disable the Phone App. I have set the exDialer as default by going to settings-> apps-> all-> exDialer-> Launch By Default. Is there a way to do that.

I have set the exDialer as the default dialer. But when I receive any incoming call default dailer is opening up instead of exDailer.

go to apps> all apps> phone (with the dialer icon)..and then disable it...see if that works..
I tried to do that, but both Disable and Clear defaults buttons are disabled.

Yes, and because I run expanded desktop all the time I had to tweak the settings even further by unticking translucent status bar/nav bar. I really like the app!

Settings>Apps>Dialer
Clear defaults for dialer.
Try making a call. You'll be asked to select dialer/Skype.
Select Skype>Always.
You're welcome.

If no default is set then whenever you try to call someone it should ask with which app you want to open it with. Select skype, then tap make default (or something like that, dont have my phone in front of me).

FB Messenger Notifications

I don't know if i'm the only one, but I've got a problem to get notifications working well for Facebook messenger. On my older phone, I received an instant notification when a message was sent to me. Now it can take a while (15-45min or more).. If I go in the app, it's like if the applications was asleep, because it shows no messages. I need to refresh the view and it shows the new message(s). I don't know if it's a p9000 bug or Android 6.0?
I try stock rom and Eragon v 4.8, same problem.
Did you try to disable background task cleaner?
