As the title says, I've found some great alternatives to my Messaging and Phone apps and would like to know if I can uninstall those apps and only use my alternatives?

Depends on the app. Just freeze it first and see if it causes issues. If it doesn't then delete it to free up space

I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
EDIT: Freezing the app disabled the actual call functionality from the entire phone, even from the user app PixelPhone Pro. Is there no way to disable just the stock phone interface without disabling it functionality?

You can disable certain components of apps using root. Like, if you don't want to see the default messaging app you can disable that activity. In your case, you can disable the dialer activity and it won't show up in your activity drawer, it also won't be launchable from other apps either, yet the rest of the app is still fully functional.

There's also apps from marketplace I use. It doesn't hide the apps but it locks it and requires u to enter unlock code or pattern. The one i use is a paid app but i think there might be free ones

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this? All suggestions I see are to remove facebook.
For me I would like to keep it on the phone, as I use it twice a week, but I hate that it always has a service running which takes up to 10mb of ram.
I tried removing that service from the startup list, but it puts itself back in again.
I don't care about the facebook updates (eg. notification) I just want the program to be active when I click on it, not all the time.
Any suggestions?
Freeze it if you have root?

Yeah, I just ROM toolbox for that, but it also removes the icon, so I have to get into ROM toolbox first to defrost it and then to facebook...
not that big a deal, but a little annoying Was hoping there was a more user friendly way
I dont think there is any other eay

I kicked it out of there aswell, but still finds it's way back.
I also disabled it's trigger events... it just keeps coming back.
If I didn't know any better i'd say it's a virus

If you're rooted download NoBloat from the play store and remove it with that

Ohh great i know now what Bloat means thanks so much...
Why remove it? You can download and use an alternative such as handcent and customize the notification settings for each so that your new messaging app becomes the default
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
The reason for that is to have protection for incoming text messages
i would like to see a SMS app where can have two password to protect some of private messages coming in..
or to have SMS app that will have protected page will only list the private sms messages and all will go in there

Hello all
I have just returned to android after a spell with an iPhone 5s.
With the ios version of Facebook messenger you have the ability to pull to refresh but it appears this is not available on the android version. Or am I missing something?
A Google search did not really help
Thanks
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app
I think you are missing something, it's been a standard feature for as long as I can remember?
Just had a flick through my settings nothing seems required to enable it?
Have you updated?

Thank you Curioct
Made me try again and you have to pull on the top half of the screen. I was always going for the bottom half.
Thank you

If they're both system apps they won't show unless you have "greenify system apps" enabled in features.

Are you using the + sign on Greenify main screen to show you the app list? And then the three dot menu icon on top right to show you the system apps also?
