Hi, I use GO SMS and ContApps. When ever I get SMS I see two messages(duplicates). I disabled the stock SMS notification but that didn't seems helping. Any suggestion? or is there something I missing?
Thank you.
Very strange. I am using Go SMS too and I don't get double txts. You do have to go into settings--->Advanced tab--->Notification settings... then make sure Enable notifications is checked to block the stock SMS app.

Ok, after I installed the gutted ROM I have the double messages again even I get a text. But there isn't anywhere to choose handcent as default, like it was prior to rooting. I go into the settings on both handcent and stock msg and there is no option to make either a default. I assumed when I sent my first text from handcent I would get the message, but nope. Can anyone tell me how to make handcent default so I can stop getting 2 messages?

In the stock messaging app, go into settings and de-select Auto-retrieve and de-select Notifications. Close that and go to your People app and select someone to send a text message (don't do this in the Handcent app) and you should get a text box to choose which app to use and be sure to select Handcent as the dafault action.
Make sure notifications are turned off in the stock SMS app. That's all I had to do to get Handcent to be my default SMS app. You can also clear your settings, much like you'd do to switch between Sense UI and the stock home screen.

Perfect!! That worked great, thanks for the help guys.
Looking for an app to show sms messages on locked homescreen. Any recommendations?
Flyscreen?
If you're referring to an app which shows a new sms popup on a locked screen, Handcent SMS and ChompSMS both do that. Handcent has the option to not show the sms contents, not sure about Chomp though.

How so? I can't seem to figure it out.
If you're using Chomp, there are some options under Settings > Quick Compose & Reply. Not sure if you have to set the popup notification to be on under Settings > Notifications. Note that I haven't actually tried this yet as I'd rather not have notifications on my lock screen.
I know it works for Handcent though, as I used to have it enabled. Should be under the notifications settings somewhere, can't quite remember as I haven't used Handcent for quite a while.

Doesn't show it on the lock screen, but disables my lock screen when I have a new message.

Are you using Handcent or Chomp? I know Handcent worked as of ~1 month ago without disabling the lock screen (referring to the lock screen which require a pattern unlock, not sure what happens if you don't have that enabled).
I use SMS POPUP. Great app.

Thanks guys will check them out! This is just what I've been looking for .
I have the Inspire and I used to have Handcent SMS messaging application on my old phone. I would like to know, how could I make Handcent the default application for messages? Right now, I am using both Handcent and the stock Messages. When I receive a message, I receive two copies, one for each inbox. How could I set the messages to come only to Handcent?
Thank you
go into the default messaging app and turn off notifications.
Also in settings/applications find the default mms program and clear defaults.
I would like to completely stop it. Not just disable notifications. I dont know if I am making sense.
When I go to
Settings-Applications-Manage applications-"ALL"- Messages
the "clear defaults" button is grayed out, and I cannot click on it.
the htc messaging app can't be removed and is always listening for a message. turning off notifications is the best you're going to do. If clear defaults is grayed out then handcent is already set as your default.

truth. i tried deleting the original mms apk via adb before and using only handcent. the result was i could send messages with handcent, but could no longer receive anything.
the built in messaging app doesn't take up a lot of room or anything.
Both of the app's buttons are grayed out. By disabling all notifications, would i still receive messages in that inbox?
yeah but as you delete them in handcent they'll delete in htc. The program isn't an inbox anyway it's an interface. The messages aren't duplicated in your phone.
Ok, Thank you for your help and time.
no problem that's why we're here
hey
im still rcving the BOTH SMS
with Handcent and default SMS messenger.
theres NO OPTION for DEFAULT SET i cant click on it..
i already DID uncheck the notification at the MESSENGER DEFAULT
and i enabled the NOTIFICATIOn at Handcent SMS
and i still get notification at the Default SMS.. its really anoying
You need to turn off auto-retrieve in the default messaging app settings. It's near the bottom.
When a new message comes in, the pop up for Go SMS shows over the WidgetLocker. The option in WidgetLocker to hide SMS messages doesn't work.
I also want the pop up to turn on the screen, but not show. Help please?
The following doesn't work... VVVV

Thanks!
I just go into GOSMS settings and disable the popup. Those things are so annoying anyway.
I changed to Handcent because of this.

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to make the new FP1 lockscreen show notifications for Go SMS?
I use GoSMS also and I have not seen a way yet
I think go sms is not ready for FP1 new lock screen yet. You can try this see if it works. In go sms notificaton settings, uncheck the option "disable other sms notification".

That didn't work. Maybe it's because I'm using nitro's FP1 debloated rom with Ecplise parts. That rom doesn't have the stock Messaging app but the AOSP one

So I erased go sms and got the stock messaging app to work and I get the notifications for it on the lockscreen. I reinstalled go sms and disabled the notifications for it (but still have notifications for the stock messaging app), but now I don't get any notifications at all, not even vibration or ring. I only get notifications when I delete go sms. This is weird

Did you try to enable the notification to see how it behave?

I did, notifications work except for on the lock screen
If I can put in my 2 cents... I've been using widgetlocker on my rooted EP4 forever now. I love it. It allows full customization and notifications. I'm about to make the FP1 switch and the first thing I'll be doing is rooting and installing widgetlocker again (well not the first thing, but you get the idea). It's a fantastic program that should suit your needs for allowing notifications.
