Hi. After rooting I uninstalled default sms applications app. Now I notice delivery reports on Handcent (message received by persons I send it to notifications) don't work. Yes my network supports it and it is set properly. Did I mess it up by uninstaling default app? The weird thing is also that I still get incoming message notification of default app in status bar.
Is uninstaling default app that caused this? I also removed timescape and some sns stuff. How do I fix it, can I just get default sms app somewhere??
Also I have some problems with Market. It keeps saying download starting but I'd doesnt. What should I do?
Please anyone?

The only way to fix this is by installing a fresh stock ROM again (obviously thru SE Update service) Thats how i fixed this problem on my phone. And a tip do not remove system apps before you know it is 100% safe to remove just google ''x10 mini safe apps to remove list'' before you do anything stupid with your phone
i want to replace the stock sms app on my k900 with go sms pro. how do i do this? i've already checked in the go sms app that it be the default messaging app but i still get double sms notifications and the stock sms app is still active. i can't find anything in the system or messaging settings that would normally turn off the notifications for the stock sms app just like in my past htc's and xperias.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
In the messaging setting you can turn off auto message checking and popup windows and notifications. I haven't tried but I think that should work. Goodluck

i already did all of that but still i get double notifications and messages. it seems that the system still prioritizes the stock sms app over a 3rd party one despite having the 3rd party app be explicitly the default SMS app. i've had partial success with textra. i still get notifications from the stock sms app but at least not a double message and i could just ignore the unopened text messages from the stock app until i have to open them at a later time. but i still wish there was a way of totally replacing the stock sms app. this app seems to be bundled/attached to the dialer and contacts app instead of it being separate and only able to "talk" to the dialer and contacts app. seems lenovo doesn't want the user to install any other app that tries to replace the ones that lenovo put in place. for shame in this.
in any case, this'll be my first AND last lenovo phone. i've been badly burned by this very simple yet intolerable (for me) experience. i think this goes against the android ethos of being "open" considering it's a "goolge" android OS.
can this problem be solved by rooting the phone?
No. The only way is to hard remove the app from the system/app folder. But you will be doing that on your own and at your own risk. It's not recommended..

Found a simpler solution it's almost stupid. It was staring at me the whole time. Went to settings>apps>contact manager. Unchecked notifications then pushed force stop and then disable. Replacd my dialer/contact manager with go contacts ex. Now, I'm happy. Didn't have to go through the mess of rooting and flashing a custom rom.

Try add new contact. Works? Probably no. If you want add new contact, you must enable contact manager again and disable after adding. A little uncomfortable. Do not delete contact manager (ideafriend) from system/app!
ist for dialer, contacts, SMS messaging and call log. The unfortunate solution. unfortunately.

it's quite the opposite everything's working fine. go contacts replaced the stock contacts manager flawlessly. i already added 2 contacts and edited more than half a dozen old ones. received and made phone calls without a hitch. like the old lenovo contacts manager never existed in the 1st place! now i can use my k900 with much more tolerance until i could to sell it ASAP and get me back to an xperia.

Interesting. When I unchecked Show notifications, press the Force Stop and Disable in Settings / Apps / All, calling through third-party application goes normally (tested to Go contacts and Ex dialer), but using these applications not join a new contact, I can not edit an existing contact. It just goes through the built-in Contact Manager. The same if I add a contact via SMS third-party application (for example Go SMS Pro).
Really? Hasn't happened to me yet (unable to edit) I'm using go contacts pro as my dialer and contact manager. Like i said before, i added and edited contacts without problems. Hmmm...

Go Contacts pro doesn´t work on 4.3. I try without Go Launcher, with Go launcher and nothing.
Hi everyone,
I've noticed something since I updated my phone to kitkat 4.4.2 (it's a Z1 compact).
Whenever I use another app than my default app to send SMS, eg. I'm using SMSPopup, Glowfly or event another "real" SMS app along with my default one (let's say hangouts or Handcent), I have duplicate sent SMS, that means I have twice my sent messages in my list. I didn't have this issue on JB.
I tried to tweak access/read/write permissions via AppOps but the result is still the same. I now have to use the same app for popups/Notifications and SMS. Other SMS apps are useless because they duplicate the text messages.
Does anyone has the same problem ? How can I fix this ?
Thanks a lot !

Make sure this is set correctly:
1. From your home screen, open Settings and head into “More…” under Wireless & Networks.
2. If running Android 4.4, you should see an option for “Default SMS app.”
3. Tap on that.
4. A window should appear with all apps that could be a potential SMS app.
5. Tap the one you want to use.

Sorry for a late answer and hope you get, or maybe you've already gotten, the issue resolved.
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).

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.

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.

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.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.
My wife's s21 recently (one or two months) stopped receiving verification text messages from banks/SS etc. When the target phone number is changed to MY phone the messages come through just fine. We are both on AT&T and have the latest Samsung software (mine is a Note 20). We've made sure that there are no blocked numbers in her contacts.
Is there a SIM based setting that can cause this?
Can the carrier block MMS on her line from commercial sources? She can receive MMS from personal contacts.
We've been through the Samsung/AT&T tech support gauntlet but so far have not found the right person to help.
Try installing The Google - developed Messages app on the problem phone and making it the default SMS client.
What app is this???
Messages by Google - Apps on Google Play
Simple, helpful messaging by Google

Well I tried the Google Messages App and still had the same difficulty
I've had trouble using Google Message's "Chat features", also known as Rich Communication Services (RCS), when my virtual private network (VPN) is active. If I stop or pause using the VPN then RCS seems to work. But with my VPN active the "Status" under Chat features shows "Connecting...". Given the choice between VPN and RCS, I've decided VPN is more useful. So I turn off "Enable chat features."
Try searching using term "Android" "RCS" and "VPN" and you may hit some useful links to read. If you do not use a VPN then you can probably ignore my entire posting.
I just want to be sure: have you made sure that you have made the Google Messages app the default client?
Go into the App Info for Messages.
And then tap on "Messaging app"
Be sure that you have selected the correct icon. (For some dumb reason there is no text to identify the names or developers of the respective messaging apps.)
(See attached screenshots)
