Is there a way to change the default app that opens when you swipe the message icon to unlock using sgs2 lockscreen? Instead of opening messages I want to open go SMS. I know I could use widget lockscreen but I'd rather sgs2.

i thought about that too. but i dont think it is possible. i set Handcent to my defaults and it still opens the stock messaging app so i just sticked to it.
I have NEVER tried this but its an idea...
Set as auto for go sms and then delete the messaging.apk from /system/app so it force opens go Sms? Since it would be the only msg app available... Or... It coukd just FC the comand and crash... Lol idk i repeat ive never tried it i do fine with Samsung messaging

You might want to freeze the stock app and set go sms as your default one. I know Handcent has that option and then try it.
If you freeze or delete the stock messging app, you'll probably lose the ability to receive the pictures in mms messages.
I did, but once I unfroze it, mms messages received the pictures again.
Hello,
Does anyone know how I might be able to make my sms messaging app open using another app like gosms ?? Or maybe just replace the stock apk with another?

Just use SMS app of your choice.
If you use Go SMS just turn off notification for the stock SMS app..
Hi i am using miui rom 4.0.3 galaxy 3 ,i installed chomp sms but every time ii get a message the stock message counts it as unread even though i read it in chomp ,i get a count in lock screen and in stock message icon
Things i did
-i disabled stock notification
-i even back upd stock message and uninstalled it but after that i can't able to receive SMS so i restored it again
So please if anyone knows any solution help me :-(
I have a similar thing with my 'low space' icon in my notification bar which drives me mad, I just rooted my phone and found some apks that allow me to get rid of certain notifications.
Hope this helped

If you turn off all message notifications in stock Messaging, does it also disable notifications in Chomp SMS? If not, you could just do that
I have disabled all the notifications in stock MMS apps, also, and still get the unread message count. I guess you can remove the stock mms app from your homescreen so you don't have to see it. lol. I guess its a bug of HTC's...
actually the problem is with miui , it happens only with miui other roms just work fine
Anybody figured this out? I also prefer Chomp SMS over the stock Messaging app in MIUI. The double notification is driving me insane!
You should be able to delete the stock messenger. Worked on my lg thrill. Just be sure you have a replacement. Not sure if it should be installed first but i did. No problems.

download systemapp Freezer or any app which can freeze system app. You need a rooted device. After installing the app you have to go to system apps and there you can freeze the stock message. Thats the i'm doing it on VK rom ( using Pansi SMS)

When I froze the stock messaging app using Titanium Backup, I stopped receiving text messages altogether.
This is the one thing that makes me miss CM7!

What ROM are you using and which application you use to uninstall ...

I'm using miui. When I was using cm7, I didn't have this problem. I could disable the notifications in the stock messaging app just fine.

I've been trying to make it to the end of warranty without rooting and have found several customizations that dosent require it. I've installed the new CM10 messaging app and I LOVE IT... except for one thing. I keep getting double messages in my inbox. The problem is I can't modify the default messaging app without root and since the CM10 one is meant to be be stock they both keep showing the messages. Is there anyway to disable the stock app?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Go to Settings>Apps, find the messaging app you don't want and select it. There should be an option to disable it once it is selected. Choose that and it should be disabled.
Edit: slightly confused as to how you have CM messaging without root..
I was used to hide unwanted sms by hide sms and calls apps, but none of them works in 4.4+, probably because of high priority of hangouts.
It wont work even when I change default SMS app to 8sms, handscent SMS, etc...
Incoming SMS still appears in default SMS app and is not hidden.
Any solution please?

Yea, but I want to use one default sms app for standart sms. And for SMS from people I want to hide I need to use for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartanuj.sms
This app allows me hide SMS and Calls from just exact people I want to. But problem is, that SMS which shoud be hidden is still shown also in the default SMS app.

Wipe data of Titanium in settings, delete Titanium folders, uninstall/reinstall. If that doesn't work, try fixing permissions and wiping cache and dalvik. Sorry you're having trouble.

So finally I solved this issue...maybe it helps someone.
Hide it pro and most of other apps dont work, they dont hide SMS of choosen people, because of SMS high priority in 4.4+ Android.
So doesnt metter if you freeze Hangouts or not. Any other SMS app you will install will show SMS which should be hidden.
Solution:
1 - Forbid the Hangouts to send SMS
2 - Install Hide SMS&Contact -Private Text https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkyeah.privatespacefree&hl=cs
3 - Replace default SMS sender by Messaging Classic - 4.4 Kitkat https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkyeah.message
Now SMS hiding by "Hide SMS&Contact -Private Text" app is working.
For now its the only one solution and the only working SMS hide app I found. I tried many of them, but only this one works.
If youll find any better, let me know - this one is far away from SMS hiding app I was used to use.

Thanks for this! I was looking for one for the last two weeks as well. I was happily using Hide It Pro in my Galaxy Nexus before but now in my Nexus 5 it got screwed up. I hope the developer updates that app soon.
In the last week I was using an app called Private Place - there was no need to change the default SMS app (it was Hangouts). It worked pretty well. But the trial ended today (a week) and the Pro version costs $7 - which I might consider after checking out Hide SMS & Contact app you posted (the Pro version of that is cheaper at $3.6; but I couldn't yet find the limitations in the free app).
Do keep posting about any new apps you can find.

So the Private Place app works with KitKat and the Hangouts app, do MMS work? I've been using Messaging Classic and Private Space Pro, but I think its keeping me from receiving and sending MMS.
