Every time I open Messaging, it always askes me to select SMS or MMS. Is there a way for me to set default to SMS? In Crossbow, there is an option to select but I can't find it here... Thanks.

Ok, after I installed the gutted ROM I have the double messages again even I get a text. But there isn't anywhere to choose handcent as default, like it was prior to rooting. I go into the settings on both handcent and stock msg and there is no option to make either a default. I assumed when I sent my first text from handcent I would get the message, but nope. Can anyone tell me how to make handcent default so I can stop getting 2 messages?

In the stock messaging app, go into settings and de-select Auto-retrieve and de-select Notifications. Close that and go to your People app and select someone to send a text message (don't do this in the Handcent app) and you should get a text box to choose which app to use and be sure to select Handcent as the dafault action.
Make sure notifications are turned off in the stock SMS app. That's all I had to do to get Handcent to be my default SMS app. You can also clear your settings, much like you'd do to switch between Sense UI and the stock home screen.

Perfect!! That worked great, thanks for the help guys.
I have the Inspire and I used to have Handcent SMS messaging application on my old phone. I would like to know, how could I make Handcent the default application for messages? Right now, I am using both Handcent and the stock Messages. When I receive a message, I receive two copies, one for each inbox. How could I set the messages to come only to Handcent?
Thank you
go into the default messaging app and turn off notifications.
Also in settings/applications find the default mms program and clear defaults.
I would like to completely stop it. Not just disable notifications. I dont know if I am making sense.
When I go to
Settings-Applications-Manage applications-"ALL"- Messages
the "clear defaults" button is grayed out, and I cannot click on it.
the htc messaging app can't be removed and is always listening for a message. turning off notifications is the best you're going to do. If clear defaults is grayed out then handcent is already set as your default.

truth. i tried deleting the original mms apk via adb before and using only handcent. the result was i could send messages with handcent, but could no longer receive anything.
the built in messaging app doesn't take up a lot of room or anything.
Both of the app's buttons are grayed out. By disabling all notifications, would i still receive messages in that inbox?
yeah but as you delete them in handcent they'll delete in htc. The program isn't an inbox anyway it's an interface. The messages aren't duplicated in your phone.
Ok, Thank you for your help and time.
no problem that's why we're here
hey
im still rcving the BOTH SMS
with Handcent and default SMS messenger.
theres NO OPTION for DEFAULT SET i cant click on it..
i already DID uncheck the notification at the MESSENGER DEFAULT
and i enabled the NOTIFICATIOn at Handcent SMS
and i still get notification at the Default SMS.. its really anoying
You need to turn off auto-retrieve in the default messaging app settings. It's near the bottom.
Does anyone know why all my text messages will get automatically deleted from time to time? It happened using the stock text app so I downloaded Handcent and It just now happened to me again? Is there a certain setting I can change or anything like that?
Handcent and the stock sms messenger work hand in hand. Handcent has a setting to disable the stock and all other 3rd party messengers but I have found it not to work. So with that in mind any text you get in handcent you will also get in the stock app. So the same holds true. If you delete a message in the stock app then it will also delete in handcent.
Now go to your stock messages app. Hit the menu button and select "settings". Select "general". Under "storage settings" you most likely have "Delete old messages" checked. Just uncheck it and you should be good to go.
Every few days I get a notification:
"Messaging not default sms app. Tap to make Messaging your default SMS.."
(that's what it says; it actually stops mid sentence). I click on it and there's a dialog box:
"Change SMS app?
Use messaging instead of Hangouts as your SMS app?
No Yes"
Now obviously I don't want to do this (why would anyone), but I click on No and the box goes away but it'll come back again later. I can't uninstall messaging, and when I load it to see if it has options to never do anything again ever the first thing it does is pop up the "Change sms app" box again, and when I press No it quits.
Hangouts is indeed my default SMS app; it's enabled (you can see it in the settings), it works (i receive SMS and hangout messages through it).
Do I have to start disabling apps, or is there a way of getting this to stop? I'm on 5.0.2 on a 6603 (uk unbranded) and this problem is new to lollipop.
never got this problem, maybe because i disable the other one. try that and let us know how it goes.
I can't find a way to setup a unique text notification sound for individual contacts.
In the contacts app, I see an option for Ringtone but nothing for texts.
Is this simply not possible?
Don't have any way to test rn, but from what I can tell if you go thru the messaging app and open the people and options of a contact you've been messaging, there's an option to change from notification there.

Yeah there is an option through the texting apps themselves, but I can see to get it working. I can set them up, and the only one that comes through is the one a set up through settings, doing, SMS
Signal lets you set different tones per contact.
