Handcent Problem - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

I am having issues with Handcent. Sometimes when I receive a text, the quick reply window will pop up and the main message list shows I have a new message from that contact. When I open the thread, there are no received messages, just the replies I sent from the quick reply menu.
Any ideas? Anybody have the stock messaging apk? Just in case mine is screwed up somehow.

First, themes & apps is not the location for this thread. Please post future questions in the Q&A section.
Second, you can obtain the stock messaging apk from pretty much any rom. Depending on if you want the SENSE messaging apk or the AOSP messaging apk, unzip a rom that is based on one of those frameworks, go to the /system/app folder, and you should find it there. Then just put it on ur sdcard and install it with a file manager.

First, thanks for the tip on locating the files.
Second, this is the themes and APPS board, Handcent is an app. The Q&A section is titled Evo 4G Q&A, this post is App related not just Evo.

For some reason it doesn't show up in the market. Google Handcent and go into "forums" then "research" and you can download it from there. Just make sure to check the box in settings to allow non-market apps to be installed then change back when you are done
no, sorry. Not rooted, completly stock. ive searched, rebooted and looked several times and still nothing
You have to go to www.handcent.com and then to news and download the file maunally. its some kind of bug where the market place isnt listing it
It is back in the market and working great on my Evo as of today
The default app isnt to bad. Besides more customization is it really any faster or anything?
I tried Handcent and removed it right way. For some reason when scrolling up and down there is a little lag. I don't mind the default one anyway. I'm trying to install SMS popup just have to find that apk.
I have a question, I installed Handcent, and i like it, But when I get a text message, both handcent and the default mms client notify me. how can I disable the default client?
You can go to the stock settings and disable auto retrieve and notifications.
Sorry for my ignorance but ive searched through all the settings and cant find those settings. Can you point me in the right direction please.

Go into the default messaging client. Press menu. Then settings. Then uncheck received message notification.

Better yet, just uncheck everything.
anyone having issue with Handcent not sending mms? I can send with default mms program, but not with Handcent.
I can receive mms with Handcent though. Any suggestions?

Previewing Texts

Early apologies if this is in the wrong section but i couldnt find anything when i tried searching this topic.
Anyway, my old htc phones (windows mobile), the screen would turn on and i would get a preview of a text i just received.
on the inspire, the screen remains off even though the notification noises and vibrations play.
is there any way to make the screen turn on as well ?
it drives me nutts that i cant just glance at my phone!! i have to turn it on then do the unlocking, etc.
any help is much appreciated!
I don't know about the stock HTC SMS app but there's an option for this in GoSMS. I highly recommended it.
Or you can try sms popup.

+1 - Great app!
Handcent has screen wake option. And it by far is better than stock messaging app anyway, a billion options to use.

Can't get into handset, it just looks too ugly - even with the skins.
They need to update handcrnt for higher resolution/larger displays.

What he said!
Handcent, second to none for SMS!
thanks a lot guys!
i will definitely try out the apps you've mentioned.
umm?
im loving go sms pro. very clean interface.
however, i accidentally deleted some text messages.
and i dont see a deleted items folder.
is there any way to recover deleted texts??
another vote for handcent here..
Go SMS Pro seems pretty promising thus far. I hated Handcent because of the overall 'old' feel and sluggish performance. Go SMS was a little laggy but I bumped the performance down to the "middle" level and it seems to work quite well now.

If you didn't use the backup that Go SMS offers I don't think you can get them back. Maybe they're hidden somewhere but I wouldn't know how to go about finding them.
If you don't want to change messaging apps, you might want to look at SMSawake or SMS Screen WakeUp.
I'm using Chomp SMS. Let's you preview text and lot's of other options.

I got the file from deck at ppcgeeks, thanks were given to deck. I separated the GAPPS file and put it on a link of it own to make it easy for whoever wants to download it.
On other note I was running gingerbread-evo-deck 1.1 and had problems with mms downloads, are u having the same issue or is mms working for u?
I ask because I see you are on it as by your signature, and is such a great rom.

No, but if you use hancent or an alternate sms app, you can blacklist the text message. I must say eventhough they blacklist I get them from time to time.
Make sure you stop the notifications on the stock app if you decide to use another sms app.

Download the link above. You will then get your voicemails but you will also get the 9016 text messages.
Add 9016 to your contacts
Down load Redlist and any other SMS app(ie Handcent)....you will now be using a 3rd party messaging app. If you don't want to do that, you should abandon ship right here. I personally am not sure I will go this route because of this....I have reasons....
Redlist the 9016 contact(I blacklisted it too...dunno the difference)
Disable the stock messaging app notification(you have to do that anyway or you would get double notifications)
Even with this set up, you will STILL get a red dot in the notification bar indicating a redlisted contact is contacting you. So you must go into the Redlist settings and disable any notifications.
There ya have it. A major PIA(IMHO) to enjoy the perceived benefits of an AOSP ROM!(maybe this is endemic to GB AOSP ROMs only???)
duh...

fyi, google voice is an official option now. or you can be smart and install youmail from the market, no 9016 messages, handles your voicemail and has ALL kinds of neat features most every "voicemail" sevice would charge for, but they include it for free. this may just be the first helpful post i've evar made.

Go to the market and search for spc aka super private conversation, works wonders with the 9016 text

Does anyone have a modded copy of the secmms.apk that actually shows pictures with text as normal and not a slide show?

Why not switch to the aosp mms? Much better imo.

I'd suggest using a third-party SMS/MMS program like GoSMS. I had the same issue, tried GoSMS, thought it was kind of bloated. So, I flashed the AOSP mms apk for TW, but that has group messaging issues. Tried Liquid 4.2.1, and ended up going back to CleanRom with GoSMS again for other stability reasons.
For stock TW, GoSMS works the best. Hancent and Chomp both force close when sending pics/media.

(Q) Am I the only one here wondering about.....messaging??

Sorry if this was discussed but I think I just went through the last hundred threads on here, and when I 'search' for hangouts it gives me zero results
So onto my question; am I the only one mad and annoyed that there is no dedicated text messaging app? The only way to text someone new is to go to people> scroll to prison> click their name> click the text message icon....? Really?
Because when clicking the '+' button in 'hangouts' it only opens a new "hangout", and as I learned yesterday hangout and sms isn't the same, after someone texted me back saying "did you just send me something? "..
Why do they have to make such a simple a decades old thing so complicated and dumb?

You're doing it wrong...
Press the + in hangouts. Start typing a name, number, etc. Matches will drop down and choose the one that has the SMS icon.

Moving SMS/MMS app from AOSP 4.3 is the best way, I guess
I don't find it complicated at all in fact it pretty simple.
I don't need to go to people app to text someone new, I can do it straight from hangouts. I just click the "+" and then pick my contact and right from that screen without any extra steps i can select either SMS or hangout as the new conversation type.

Replace Hangouts with 8sms which looks like the good, old SMS app from AOSP:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms
Don't forget to define 8sms as "default sms app" in settings and you're done. For me, this is much better than using Hangouts...

all you need to do is open hangouts, click the + button, then if you want to call Phil, type PHIL.
you'll see phil's mobile number, his work number, his home number, and you'll see his hangout email address.
click on the one you want to send him a message through....... that's it........ that's not too hard.
Thanks guys that's a lot better, I even hate the hangouts icon looks more like a iPhone icon than a text.
On a sidenote.. damn, clean android is very boring and NOT customizable at all. I need aokp asap.

I personally prefer chomp sms (they're working on updating it for 4.4) but their other texting app, textra has been updated and I'm liking it quite a lot actually.
Give it a try. It doesn't have the most customizations but probably more than 8sms. It's not bloated like go sms or handcent

Yeah I agree with you. I don't like how it defaults to using chat instead of texting. A lot of people at work have iphones, so I need to actually text them, not use hangouts. It isn't too big of a deal, but it takes an extra step to select "SMS" instead of in 4.3, just typing their name.
