Hey guys. So I was in terminal deleting the stock apps that I don't need to have and one of those apps which I deleted was the stock messaging app, I did this because I was using hancent. Well now I am not receiving text messages.
- It all started after I deleted the stock app, I am not sure if it started immediately after or a while after.
- I was using handcent and I noticed that I was getting the pop up received thing and the quick reply option but in the actual handcent app under each conversation the incoming message was not there.
- I then switched to chomp sms to see if that would fix it. Now I am not getting the quick reply popup message received (in chomp)
Are there any suggestions to fix this or knowledge about this topic? Do you need to have the stock messaging app inorder to have other messaging apps work correctly. Oh ya, outgoing messages are still being sent correctly.
Sorry guys wrong section I wanted to post in q n a
Yes it is needed for other apps, that is why they have you turn off Messaging's notifications- so they can give them to you instead. They just read what messaging gets, they don't actually get the 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
Shifted from Outer Space
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

I'm not trying to be rude, really, but you need to use spell check or something because your spelling & grammar create an impression that makes you seem child-like & lazy, and in turn could turn some people away. I know I reached for the back button before I even finished reading. Just something to think about.
I'm pretty sure there's not a way to do what you're asking. You could do the opposite, use handcent or chomp as your main messaging app and blacklist the conversation. Do note that this will make all communication with that number invisible in the app & you will not receive notifications (you will from the stock sms app unless you turn them off) until you take them off of the blacklist.
An easier solution: don't delete your text messages. If you feel like you have to, make a plan to delete only every day or two (or however long you prefer) and do a backup prior. I hope you realize that text messages use very little space & there's no real reason to delete them immediately unless you're trying to hide them. Just think before you act... and problem solved.
Hello,
I have been using (and loving) the app DeskSMS. It allows you to receive and send SMS via gtalk, gmail, etc.
The only problem is that on my VZW GS3 (rooted and running newest AOKP) I constantly get a warning that DeskSMS is sending an abnormal amount of txt messages and do I want to allow or deny these actions.
I do not want this to happen. I want DeskSMS to send as many sms as I like. I am typing fast replies on Gtalk in chrome and I guess it thinks that the messages are going to fast to legit.
Is there a way to disable it altogether?
I searched but I did not find a clear answer relating to Gs3.
Thank you
open messaging app/settings/turn off alert reminder?
When I'm sending or receiving a text using the stock messages app, the entire message doesn't show if the message is long. It cuts down the message and has a "view all" button that will show the whole message in another page. How do I get it back to showing the entire message without having to use the "view all" button?
Unfortunately the stock Samsung messaging app doesn't have a setting to change this. You'd have to install a 3rd party messaging app instead. If you have Facebook Messenge, you can integrate SMS into that.
super annoying functionality.

This view all, does not make sense to me, why would any consumer want that, and not be able to change it is even worse. I like to keep my messages separate within their apps. I don't to integrate my messenger with my sms. boo.
