[Q] animated MMS

How can I view animated mms with my nexus s? Can this be done with the default message app or do I need to install a 3rd party app?

Does anyone not have this problem? I know if I run a MIUI rom the default message app allows of playing of animated gifs/mms. But with CM7 the defaul messenger app just shows a static image when I receive an mms. If I install handset messenger app it allows me to view animated pics fine but I was wondering if I can get the same functionally with out needing a third party app?

Handcent SMS vs. 3D's Messages App

hi guys,
ive just installed handcent sms (could be any particular messages app) and i want to use handcent instead of the optimus 3d's original sms app. i turned off notifications of the original sms app, however, the quick launch bar will still show a "1" if a new sms comes in, AND it also starts the original sms app.
i would like to have the quick launch bar sms symbol start the handcent sms app instead of the original app. is there any way to do that?
thanks!

Do a backup then delete the messaging apk from the system/app folder. Can't remember what it's called though. it'll most likely have a messaging icon.
then set handcent as the default and restart your phone. worked on my last android phone so should work on the O3D

that did not work. after renaming the messaing apk from systemapp folder, the home launcher crasher. afterwards the messaging symbol in the quick starter was gone, however, no way it got replaced by handcent (tried rebooting, setting as standard).
now i renamed the messaging apk to its original name again but still the quick starter place for messages is empty.
i think this means there is a config file for the quick starter somewhere, that says which apk at which position. after the home screen detected that some apk was missing, it removed it from that config file. we need to look for that file.

try to freeze the messanging apk with AntTek app manager, don't uninstall...just freeze it

do that in Handcent SMS
setting -> application setting

1 - Root your phone if its not rooted
2 - Download Root Uninstaller
3 - Backup Messaging aka mms.apk and Messaging Widget aka messagewidget.apk ( both are in green as the message icon )
4 - Unintall both of them ....
Works for me and hope it works for you too

[Q] How to modify my notifications from social apps

I have been looking for something that will allow me to edit what my notifications say for privacy from nosy people. I found an app that was called "hide my text - invisible." This app was great for people who use their native SMS app for sending text messages. It allowed me to make my own notification if i receive a text from a certain person. Usually, the notification will scroll the contact's name, and some of the text. This app let me change the notification ticker, text, and the icon, so that if I got a text from a contact, I could change the ticker to read "unread emails." This app is great, however it doesn't work for 3rd party messaging apps, like google voice and text free. I do not have a messaging plan, so I have to use these 3rd party messaging apps. Is there any app, script, or mod that will allow me to have the same exact features of the "hide my text - invisible" app for my 3rd party apps?
My phone is rooted
I have a HTC Droid Incredible
It has a Jelly Bean Rom on it
Any help?
