Hi all Im happy I found this forum and hopefully solve a problem thats been bothering me and the wife
When we install handcent or any other messaging app on our htc hero/samsung moment, we get the messages TWICE and dont know how to turn off the default and just use the installed "handcent" or whatever app we may be using...beautiful widgets have the same effect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated so we might enjoy some of these messaging apps.
you should be able to open your native messaging app, then options then disable notifications.

I've been using aosp mms for the last couple of days and I mostly like it but it doesn't read my contact in the conversation thread and it doesn't seem to size right inside the messaging thread. So I'm hoping someone has a flashable zip of the original HTC sense mms apk ? I'm running freshes latest Rom if that matters .
just adb push the Mms.apk to system/app
I cannot get the stuff to and push to install on ny computer

I'm not sure if that'll work since it's tied to Rosie. However, I do recommend Handcent SMS. It has iPhone-style bubbles and other themes and has a quick reply popup that will come up in any app you're in. I too found the stock Messaging app lacking but this made it much better.
If you do decide to use this app, be sure to turn off notifications in the stock app or you'll get two notifications for each message you get.

Thanks for the advice. I used handcent for a long time on my g1 and it was alright except for a few bugs . I may consider it in the end

Hello,
I've got a weird problem I'm trying to solve with bettercut. I think it should be relatively easy, but I'm stumped and was wondering if somebody could help me out.
I use an HTC Legend and I like SenseUI too much to change to another launcher. I use an App called SMS Popup to notify me of new messages, but this app - combined with SenseUI - creates a bug with the default Messages shortcut.
Basically, when I mark a message as Read with the SMS Popup, the default Messages shortcut keeps the notification badge telling me I have unread messages. Which is annoying, because to fix this I have to go into the messaging app, scroll to the message I've already read in order to convince SenseUI I've read it.
So basically, what I'm trying to do with BetterCut is launch the SMS app without the system treating it as a Shortcut that needs a notification badge. I read all of my SMSs immediately mostly so I never need it to tell me how many I need to read.
So far, I have the intent as:
android.intent.action.RUN
and the data as:
com.android.MMS
However, when I select this shortcut, it says the app isn't installed.
So could somebody help me either:
1. Make a shortcut with BetterCut to the default Messaging app which won't show notification badges
or
2. Turn off notification badges entirely, because I don't use them for email either and they kinda piss me off.
Thanks!
PS. I've searched forums and google extensively for this, so I wouldn't be asking if I hadn't already tried
Cheers
Anybody? I don't imagine it's that difficult, I'm just missing something
There must be somebody out there who knows how to do this
I could do this all day
Or night, depending on the time
I'm really sick of the inability to turn off the emoticons in the stock SMS app. Are there any good messaging apps on the market that DON'T pop up the dumb "menu" softkey? That is really annoying.
I've tried Android 4 ICS Messaging but it just seems really buggy, it crashes while using MMS and last time I tried it, it kept duplicating incoming SMS.
Any suggestions?

our first OTA update should fix the menu softkey just like the One S received. do you hate the emoticons because they look extremely goofy? you're not alone there. as soon as we attain root, i'll be throwing in the new ICS Android ones to replace them. not sure why they thought these looked appealing. we just all have to be a little patient.
I don't want to replace them, I want to get rid of them. Hopefully that will be an option

Are there any SMS apps in the market that allow you to reply or mark as read from the notification instead of having to open the entire application?
Found the solution: 8sms.
I really want to try 8sms but the no auto-retrieve MMS thing kinda kills it. Plus that icon is terrible!
this is the sms apk from aosp 4.3, no idea if it'll work on 4.4 or if it'll install as a normal app or it'll need putting in the system apps

Really, has anyone figured it out? For example if I install ExDialer and get a missed call notification, I always have to choose the default app to view it. It seems impossible to set ExDialer (or any other 3rd party app) as the default for opening the call history. There is always the extra tap to choose the app.
Anyone, solution? I have read the whole internet and can't find the workaround.
I can't get to really like the new KitKat dialer, want to use ExDialer ...
What happens if you freeze the stock dialer?

Well, there's two things that can be disabled. One is the Phone app. The other is the Google Dialer app. If I disable Phone then there's no difference. If I disable the Dialer app then I can open the missed calls well with exDialer but if there's an incoming call then there's no sign of it except for the led being on (I assume the Google Dialer app is responsible for displaying incoming calls and the answer/decline buttons).
So I must have the Google Dialer app running but that means I can't use ExDialer.

I've spent countless hours trying to figure this out. I've lost my hopes. There is no way to do that. I've even been flashing several different roms to test this out. Can't believe so few people are actually discussing this.
