Does anyone know what apk/odex files to remove for stock sms? I am using handcent.....so was going to just remove the stock sms....but not sure what I am looking for.....also not sure if handcent is piggyback or independent......anyone who has any info will be greatly appreciated!!!
Mms.apk and odex. But if you remove them, you will lose the ability to send and receive picture messages.

My evo is rooted and with the app Root Explorer I can go and and delete any app on my phone. Since I have Handcent can I delete the stock messaging app and not have any issues? Or does Handcent rely on the stock app to function correctly?
Sorry if this has been asked but searching here turned up nothing

Handcent as well as any other 3rd party messaging app relies on the stock messaging app to function correctly. If you remove the stock app you won't get any messages anymore.

I know HTC made some heavy modifications, but if they didn't block the SmsManager.class in android.telephony then Handcent should work fine without the stock messaging app.
I've removed the sms app from my Droid once HandCent was installed and it works beautifully.
Can't hurt to try, copy the files somewhere safe, though, just in case.

I suggest you double check your method of testing, without the stock messaging app, Handcent can not send or receive MMS. It'll do SMS just fine, but no picture, video or audio.
To the OP, if you don't use MMS, then by all means go ahead an uninstall the stock messaging app; but if you still want the ability to send and receive any type of multimedia messages, then leave it be.

Dang I use MMS SO guess I cant. Thanks everyone
Thanks guys, I needed this answer as I thought things were working well with the stock messaging app deleted..that was until I couldn't download mms. Everything running smoothly again.
Handcent does have the capability to send and receive sms and mms. I had partly helped test a few builds during a trouble shooting. But it isn't 100% it seems to work at first then stop. There is an option for it much like gosms in the settings. Btw, I have the stock app frozen and I get sms/mms just fine

Every time I have ever deleted the stock mms.apk then moms stops working on Handcent. But every phone is a little different. Back up the apk and remove it and if it gives ya trouble restore the backup.
I've never had a problem sending/receiving MMS with Handcent as my main/deleting MMS.apk. This is over a few different phones--Droid 1, EVO 4G, LG G2X, and my current SGSII (Tmo)
rather then delete just freeze. I use gosms and it's equipped with an option to be used if stock app is disabled or removed. I set that then freeze the stock app. works fine for me

With my Nexus One (rooted, CM7), I could begin to type a contacts name and it would have a drop down with that contact and I could add them to my outgoing sms. I could add multiple contacts for one sms message in the same manner, now with the G2X, I cannot do this.
Was that a gingerbread perk, a CM7 perk, or both? Or am I missing a setting?

One of the downsides of stock MMS it seems. There's plenty of free apps that will accomplish this however.

Well that sucks. Bring on CM7!
edit: I just tried again and it worked. Don't know what I changed but oh well.
This thread can be closed, I suppose.
OK so I have a lot of clients that are constantly texting me. When I get done with the job, I like to delete the text just to keep my messages application nice and clean. Sometimes I will get a client texting me again referring to our previous conversation but I'm lost because I don't have any texts to refer to as I deleted the conversation. Can anybody refer me to an application that will archive the text messages and allow me to remove the conversation but have the conversation come back up if that person texts me again?

I use that and it works great. It just creates a Label under Gmail, and they're all saved there. You can even restore them all back to your phone as SMS if you want to.
I use it as well. I love it. Has anyone ever developed a good app for backing up MMS?

I use SMS Backup+ also and it's great. It backs up SMS, MMS and the call log to Gmail folders so they're searchable.

Hey guys....
I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to send audio clips through hangouts text messages. I am happy with hangouts overall and i like having it integrated with text messaging but i frequently send audio clips to friends/fam through text messaging. I have not been able to find a way to do this on my nexus without downloading Handcent.
Is there a mod possible to allow this? Or am I missing something???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Whats up with the larger text and BOLDED characters?
You can always use 3rd party apps like Whatapps, its free and uses wifi/data and has more features then stock msg...

haha dont know why i went with the large bold text... sporadic i guess.
Thanks for the advice. I really dont want to use a 3rd party app though. I feel like they should include the capability in hangouts....
take this with a grain of salt, but i thought i read that they were looking into that and voice calls with an upcoming update
you can always ask the question here though (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/hangouts).
Pretty much title. I am using Textsecure but my wife's phone has issues accepting picture messages through textsecure while it's encrypted so I was going to send pictures via messaging but even adjusting the app ops settings messaging is still saying it's not allowed because it's not the default sms app. Anyway around this?

Thanks, but what I was looking for is a way to send messages with Messaging when it's NOT the Default SMS app. I want all of my texts going in to Textsecure and be able to send pictures with Messaging. But when Messaging isn't the Default SMS app, it doesn't allow you to send messages. Even if I give it permission in App Ops. :\
