[Q] [REQUEST] CM7 SMS screen wake w/ stock messaging app

Well the title really says it all. I was wondering if any dev out there could rig something like this up? I know the Handcent has it and so do a bunch of other market apps but i like to stick to the original app. Thanks guys.

Sms popup does it and blends really well with stock app

Handcent SMS notifications

Ok so as we know the galaxy 4g has the cool puzzle piece unlock. But the default SMS app isn't very good compared to handcent. So is there anyway you could use the puzzle piece unlock with handcent

with handcent doesnt the message automatically pop up without you having to unlock your phone?

and shouldnt this thread be in general?

I have the pop up disabled. I was in a rush so I thts why I posted it in the wrong section

This is just my opinion but if you can get the .apk file and if the rom your on is deodexed than you can try to use root explorer or anything like it to overwrite the original mms.apk with handcent.
You got to rename handcent to Mms.apk or whatever your mms.apk is named.
I've done it when I was on white's deodexed kd1 but thats just me.
Don't try it if your unsure and I take no responsiblity if you mess up.
Hope this info gives you more of a idea on how it can be done.

My gf got rid of handcent because it kept messing up her messaging. Either missing text, not sending, or send very garbled up messages; was really weird.

I switched from Handcent to GOSMSPro, and haven't looked to any other apps since. They're very similar at first glance but I like GOSMS better. I don't use the puzzle unlock, but maybe you can give it a go, it might work with it.

Hrm, I've been looking at that app. What is exactly better about it compared to handcent?

I just tried go SMS pro and its ok but I think handcent is a lot better. I don't think go SMS had the puzzle piece unlock option

I like that it allows theming plus you can turn off features you don't use so it'll use up less memory. You can also customize the icons that come up in notifications, you can have contact blacklists, private threads (you can password protect texts from certain people), per contact notifications, backlight notifications... That's what I can think of off the top of my head. I think they're very similar apps.
Too bad that neither works with the puzzle unlock.

Ya go SMS definitely has really cool features but I like the look of handcent more. And memory isn't a problem for me since I can force apps to the sd card using titanium backup

I think SBis251 was talking about RAM, not ROM

How to get rid of carhome???

Ok, so I got a g2x eb rom, faux kernel and a magnetic holster on my belt.
The problem is, carhome keeps popping up every time I place my phone in and take it out. Freakin annoying.
Nothing is working and I can't find carhome launcher apk ANYWHERE, only carhome apk.
Tried:
1. Un install through ti bckup and android
2. Dock no app and other apps that should stop carhome from starting
3. Pm packages disable through terminal
4. Delete apk altogether...
Nothing is working. Any suggestions?

have you tried removing it via adb? I mean, delete it, reboot and you may get an error if s/g tries to launch it. Also try an app called app quarantine, I use it to freeze apps and I know it works for car home. You can also try a program called ROM Tool box, by JRummy. If nothing works, get a new ROM, or reflash as it could just be bugged.

Thanks.
The problem is, I unstalled via titanium. No apk of carhome.
So there is no apk to quarantine or stop via apps.
I think my problem is that the carhome launcher is the pia. I can't seem to figure out how to disable the launcher. No launcher apk anywhere.

Have you tried using Bloater app?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I did the following to get rid of it:
1) extract the cahome.apk from the ROM zip file and install it.
2) Once installed it should show up in titanium backup
3) tap on car home in titanium backup and click wipe data and then the uninstall.
4) reboot,
That should remove it .

I used Rom Toolbox from the app store and uninstalled it. Poof its gone and no issues! Just go into the apps section and hold car home, then select uninstall.

Glad one of.my suggestions worked. Please hit the thanks button.

Yeah installing /uninstall doesn't work. For some reason it always comes back.
I got a diff app, disablecarhome on the market and that one finally seems to work.... If that acts up again I'll try the apps mentioned.

Oops, nvm, was reading the post on a bumpy bus, thought the person who said they used ROM toolbox was you. What app exactly did you use and why?

I am not an advance user, but I did managed to removed that piece of **** carhome without ****ing anything up.
1) Install Root Uninstaller. It is a free app on market. (I assume you have root access, since you said you are using faux and eb rom)
2) Find Carhome, check it, hit Backup in case you want it back, then uninstall. The apk should be saved on your phones internal sd right now, back it up to your pc as you desired.
3) At this point, your phone should pop out something about kineto (sp?), crashing. I've try anything I can think of but nothing will back you out of that error loop. No fear though! All you have to do is pull battery out
4) Turn the phone back on, now enjoy your phone without that piece of **** app bothering the **** outa you

Freezing it should also work since it is not available in app drawer.

Samsung Infuse

OK so the other day ago I got my Samsung infuse back from Samsung because it would not turn on. So I wanted to put my favorite panoramic wallpaper on but then I realized that the panoramic would not work. It is on official android 2.3.6 Gingerbread. Any help please thanks.

I've had the same problem before, usually I go to the Google Play store and download "Galaxy SII Wallpapers" and set one of those as my wallpaper and from then on I can scroll around. I'm not sure what causes that but like i said. That's what works for me.
Hope this helps you too..

Are you using any custom Launcher alternative???
I know with custom launchers your allowed to change the mode (GO Launcher).

1. I would change the title for more help
2. Other launchers are very awesome
I suggest (in this order)
MiHome
GoLauncher
Launcher7 (No panorama)
ADW

Launcher recommendations for limited access

Hi,
Anyone can recommend the best android launcher for my parents? What I want to do is lock down everything except few apps like phone dialer, contacts, sms, camera which I would like to put on the home screen and that would be it, and nothing else can be accessed What happened was they would get into anything unknowingly, and messed up everything, even changed the language and turned on alarm by accident.
Thanks in advance.
