Hey guys,
Awesome being able to select apps like whatsapp and wechat as primary messaging apps, but;
- i use stock SMS
- i use wechat
- i use whatsapp
- i would like a counter for each
Is that possible either with zooper or everything?
Eg; instead of a dock showing icon / counter for MSG - DIAL - EMAIL i just want MSG - WECHAT - WHATSAPP.
If not, it would be great to have commonly used apps like these in settings > themer > app preferences, so as not to have to assign them to the messaging app thus replacing it.
Am I making sense? Haven't slept sorry.

Hi, is there any way to sms apps working like in JB ? That two of them wold be as default sms apps?

Hi All,
Do you know any App that will play music to whom calls me? not by the cellular company...(Samsung note 4)
Thanks.
Do you want ti chose custom ringtone for especific contacts?
Its simple. Just change your dealer and contacts app to another one that lets you do what you Want. Also u can do it with samsung own dealer and contacts app but u need root .
using lg g8 android 10. im pretty sure i deleted the stock messaging app and replaced it with google messages. I tried installing apks from various sites , and from the system folder of my device. they all crash right when i open them. if anyone has an idea why this is, or could send me there stock lg sms app from an lg g8 it would be greatly appreciated.
-Thanks, Brett
settings -> apps & notifications -> app info -> magnify glass icon (search) messaging
on my phone I am unable to remove this stock app and can't even disable it.
the google messages app is far superior in every way and even supports the new encrypted messages if someone else is using the messages app (not sure if encryption made it out of beta yet)

Can you upload your stock APK please?!
Can we post here the list of safe apps to uninstall with ADB commands?
I just downloaded APK Extractor from the Play Store - I looked for any logos of the apps I would never use and removed them. I can't list every single one as they're all gone now. I only had an issue uninstalling the SMS messaging app. Had to reinstall that one as the system automatically defaults to it. Without it installed, I wasn't getting any texts coming through. Lame!
Great info !
Then uninstal chinese apps is easy and without risk with Apk Extractor ?
Only keep the original sms app and choose an other that we choice for Message (for me it's Signal).

Does Google Messages or any other app work for sending and receiving texts if you do not uninstall the default messaging app?
I deleted:
com.heytap.music
com.heytap.cloud
com.coloros.calendar
com.coloros.calculator
com.heytap.speechassist
com.coloros.ocrscanner
com.heytap.browser
com.android.contacts

I don't think any messaging apps will work (Google Messages, Signal, etc.) because the Chinese ROM will force default to Oppo Messaging as soon as you receive an SMS/MMS.

Have you gotten Signal to work as the default app for both SMS and MMS (group messaging)?

How do you mean Oppo forces the official app Mail? It doesn't for me?
I've been using Blackberry Inbox for mail, and it works great and it is the default mail app on my Find N. I've actually uninstalled the official app (just using the normal app uninstall, not adb). So it doesn't force a different mail app for me, and in fact the official mail app is no longer on the phone.
I try now to uninstal official app Mail but in default app for mail it was already AquaMail but no notification for AquaMail ...

I must admit, I have notifications turned off for Blackberry Inbox, as I find mail notifications annoying (as I get too many), and I check my mail regularly anyhow. But you should get mail notifications if you make sure that AquaMail is one of the 5 apps you allow to auto startup, allow it to run in the background, and you turn off battery optimization for the app. Another tip would be to pin the app in task view so that when the memory is cleaned it stays in memory.

Can you do the same that you've done with defaulting mail app with sms/mms app?

I haven't tried as I'm fine using the stock SMS/MMS app, as I don't use SMS/MMS much (mostly Whatsapp/Wechat/Telegram, etc. these days). As I've said somewhere else, I usually try not to fight a new phone, but work with it, and the stock messages app works quite well, and has nice features like tap to fill when you receive a auth code, etc.
There is a setting to change the default messaging app; but others have had problems trying to use another messaging app or dialer/phone app as default (I assume did try setting the default to something else) and apparently it resets to the system default? Worth a go though.
Failing that, you could probably get it working using the same method that the community got the Nova Launcher working (combination of adb and tasker) -
Nova Launcher lock rotation brave toggle desktop-mode (Using Tasker)
Using Tasker to change the default launcher for OPPO FIND N, by canceling Oppo's method to enforce their launcher. -- Requirements 1- Tasker (paid ~3$). --- Autoinput (2$), for Brave desktop/phone mode auto switiching. 2- Launcher of your...

Many thanks for the feedback. I would totally be at peace with the Oppo messages app if could only receive group MMS texts. Are you successful there as well?

Again, sorry I haven't tried that, as I don't use group SMS/MMS messaging; I use Whatsapp/Wechat/Telegram for that type of group messaging. In the UK MMS messages are usually an additional (sometimes expensive) cost, and so it has never really taken off here as far as I'm aware; and everyone I know uses Whatsapp, etc. for that kind of thing.
I ended up disable-user the following apks :
package:com.coloros.karaoke
package:com.heytap.music
package:com.iflytek.speechsuite
package:com.coloros.weather.service
package:com.oplus.apprecover
package:com.oplus.pay
package:com.oplus.vip
package:com.heytap.reader
package:com.coloros.oshare
package:com.oplus.wifisecuredetect
package:com.oplus.appdetail
package:com.oppo.community
package:com.coloros.securityguard
package:com.heytap.speechassist
package:com.coloros.codebook
package:com.coloros.phonemanager
package:com.coloros.securepay
package:com.coloros.directui
package:com.coloros.video
package:com.coloros.filemanager
package:com.coloros.ocrscanner
package:com.nearme.instant.platform
package:com.coloros.floatassistant
package:com.coloros.childrenspace
package:com.heytap.htms
package:com.coloros.remoteguardservice
and uninstalled following:
com.heytap.cloud
com.finshell.wallet
cn.wps.moffice.lite
com.oppo.store
com.baidu.input_oppo
com.opos.ads
com.coloros.assistantscreen
com.heytap.browser
com.heytap.pictorial
com.heytap.smarthome
com.coloros.favorite
com.oplus.safecenter
The preinstalled music, video, reader, wallet and browser are pretty much just adware, get rid of them as quick as possible
These security apk are forcing you to input oppo account password to install apk, but please keep in mind, disable or uninstall them all-together: com.oplus.vip(yes it's related to apk installation), com.oplus.appdetail, com.coloros.securityguard, com.coloros.phonemanager, they are calling each-other when you install apps, by just removing some of them, you are risking breaking apk installer functionality, but I've tested after get ride of them, all non-sense just disappeared
And I personally will never use it's build-in password manager, voice assistant, float ball navigator, cloud service, file manager and baidu input so I disabled them, keep those you want
One thing, adb can't disable or uninstall built-in app store, and in some situation, I use it to install some Chinese specific apps.

Hi there,
Have you got a link to this app? As the one I have got doesn't seem to give me the option of deleting apps? Just extracting them
Many Thanks!

You don't delete them in the app. You have to delete them using a command prompt on your PC. The app just tells you the package name of each app so you know what to delete.
