I installed handcent and now when I get a text I get 2 notifications. How do I delete the at&t app? In titanium backup I only see the ability to remove the preferences but not the program itself.
Also I am running launcher pro and I want to use my tw app drawer icon but its not available when I go to change the icon. How do I get it on there? I can use other tw icons for other apps, just not this one.
Thx

Open Messaging, and on the main list of all your threads hit Menu then settings and disable Notification.
I had the same issue. Don't delete the messaging app. (I don't know if you should or shouldn't, so I wouldn't), just disable the notifications.
Edit: Gotten from here: http://www.handcent.com/Faq.php
It's an excellent sms replacement imo.

I want to know how to set a custom shortcut icon. Im running ADW EX and I know you can add a custom shortcut then click the picture, problem is I am running a theme and I want to use Go SMS with the themed stock messaging icon. Where are those icons located? Is there a way to get to those icons somehow or do i have to extract them? If my question doesnt make sense ill try to clear it up. Thanks!

easiest way is desktop visualizer free app on the market.
Sent from 1.5GHz CM7 Nexus S.
ok ill give that a go. Does anyone know the path to locate the system icons? So I can choose them in the appropiate app.
Edit: Ok so i gave desktop visualizer a go and its exactly what i want. HOWEVER when i choose the messaging icon and the nthe application Go SMS it still brings up the default messaging icon instead of the the themed messaging icon. Any ideas?
Hi there,
I'm running CM7 on a HTC Desire, and I kinda miss the more "polished" look of HTC Sense. I have launcher pro, and have removed the stock sms and contacts app from the app list so I can use gosms and gocontacts which have a better interface.
However, I found the naming scheme a bit awkward and the icons didnt quite fit in. So, I found a way to rename gosms to Messaging, gocontacts to Contacts and rename godialer to Phone (like the stock apps are named). I have added in the suavehd app icons here too.
I tried to use apktool, but the resulting apk gave me fc's and this method will keep working after the app is updated (unless they change the activity names, then I'll need to update them in this app).
Heres what you need to do to do the same.
1) In launcherpro, press menu, go to preferences and tap general settings, then select "Hidden apps". Make sure there is a checkbox next to the apps labelled "Messaging", "Contacts" and "Phone" (the stock apps) as well as "GO SMS", "GO Contacts" and "GO Dialer"
2) Install the attached apk.
3) Have a look at the app list, and now you have three icons, Messaging, Phone and Contacts that link to the GO apps!

I am running the stock Rogers rom (2.3.3) and am rooted.
The phone came preloaded with 'phone' 'internet' 'email' and 'applications' shortcuts at the bottom of the screen (like so http://www.androidincanada.ca/web/c...9_with_three_year_contract_54999_outright.jpg). I would like to replace 'email' with the Gmail application and possibly add messages to the list. These items however can not be dragged around like normal home screen shortcuts/widgets.
How can I do this? I am rooted!
I think your best bet is to use a different Launcher that you can customize. I use ADWex it lets you chose from lots of different dock bars and you can use any icon you want or even edit the icon. Just be sure to download Home Switcher so the you can go back if you dont like the launcher and If you like whatever launcher you chose you can delete Twiz launcher all together with Titanium backup since you are already rooted.
Thanks for the reply, I would ideally like to keep the stock launcher. Is there a way using root explorer to change the path of the email icon so it goes to gmail (or even messages)
I know in ADW Launcher you can hide the names of the apps either in the drawer, on the desktop or both.
I just want to hide the names on the Stock Sense desktop and don't want to run a different launcher (yes I'm rooted etc.)
Any help would be awesome.
Thanks!

You can use Titanium backup to freeze the app thus making it unusable and hiding the icon in the app-drawer.

I just want to hide or remove the name of the app. So it just shows the app and not the description below it.
Hi guys I set up my wife's s6 and while trying to use helium backup to restore done apps without rooting her phone. I restored the icons to the new phone and now it won't stop force closing. I installed a third party app. But she really wants touchwiz back because of the widgets.
The help I need is,
Is there a way to reinstall the app?
I've tried with one I found online but it won't install because it won't overide a system app. I didn't know if there was a way to force it and if someone could post am apk of the launcher to try that one also.
Thanks,
Try going into app manager in setting and find the app launcher you installed. Click on it and to go to app info and click the button that says clear defaults. Once it does press the home button and it should ask which launcher you want as default.
what launcher did you have? i dont think touchwiz gets "uninstalled"
like in nova > settings > select default home
Yes I know all that. But touchwiz force closes so it won't let me use it. I have Nova as a backup
So you were restoring apps using Helium Backup and it restored an icon pack? Can't you delete the icon pack?
