Is it possible to remove the Samsung themed Messaging app and replace it with the vanilla messaging APK (mms.apk)? I'm not a fan of the huge speech-bubbles that the stock Captivate messaging app comes with and would prefer the standard look. I also don't really like Handcent or ChompSMS.

I am looking for a way to have notifications appearing on the dock icons for K-9 (email), SMS (I use GoSMS) and Google Voice Voicemail.
I can't grow fond of the notification bar -- it gets too busy, messy looking for me. So I generally hide it.
But I still want to see message and voice mail counters on my dock icons.
It seems that the stock apps can do it, but I like a unified email app, and use Google Voice for my voicemail. Plus, I like my own icons....
Anyway this can be done (and what is the reason that this feature is not not built into any of these 3rd party apps)?
This works just fine with ADW notifier. Not sure if you need ADW Launcher EX or if the free one will work.

Thanks! This is a good reason to switch to ADW Launcher (even though I was happy with Go Launcher).
ADW Notifier is absolutely great for everything else, but it does not notify of Google Voice messages
Anyone with a solution to GV notifications?
Sensation is the first NON-stock phone I've owned. I'm not a fan of Sense. Already installed my usual LP+, but I hate the messaging and dialer/contract apps, is there a way to install stock versions of those apps? I'm on handcent. It's okay, but they don't have an aosp theme. I'm also using touchpal dialer. Okay. But I want stock. Can I just install the apk? Or are there apps? Thanks!
I also love stock, but how could u not be a fan of the dialer? It's much more intuitive than stock...if for no other reason than smart dialing...

dialer
I do love the dialer, but I'll pass on the contacts app.
I love how on soap dialer and contacts are merged as one.
Try Dialer One. It works well and looks like AOSP dialer.
I was wondering is there anyway to add the emoji options that cm9 has in their roms into the sense 4.0 messaging app? I know about handcent, chomp, go sms and the other messaging applications, but i was wondering was there an actual way to merge it into the sense 4.0 stock messaging app?
I am looking for a decent SmS apps. I have used gosms handcent chomp etc. None of them do what I want. I liked the default messaging app that came with the sgs3.
Any suggestions on a slightly theme SmS apps? I love the stock Android app just not the look.

You can flash a AOSP rom and try out the AOSP messenger app
SO after rooting my OnePlus i had to flash install my google apps, unfortunatly the default messenger app that comes stock with the one plus is also gone, this is very important for me because its the only messenger app(from my knowledge) that can be customized with my purchased themes i have. Changing messaging themes does not work on 3rd party messenger applications so i cant download any from play store either! ANY HELP?
THANKS!
Extract the APK from a zipped ROM and install as normal app.
Why don't you try Google Messenger
I'm pretty sure you will love the material design, blends in with almost any theme you install.
I would also recommend Textra, pretty much stock based, but with plenty of material design, theming and customisation options.
