How to disable stock sms?????
I downloaded GO SMS and need to disable my stock somehow so I stop getting double messages. Any tips?

Well normally you won't. You CAN go in and disable SMS notifications via the Messaging app directly so you don't get double notifications.
You CAN delete the APK out of system/apps if you have root, but most SMS Apps piggyback off the stock Messaging program so it is ill-advised.
Just disable notification from stock and use GO SMS. Ignore the stock app (or Hide the icon if using Launcher Pro).
Awesome! It worked. Have a good day.

Go SMS doesn't need the default SMS to work. The default SMS can be frozen or deleted or do as you have done.

Get titanium backup and freeze the SMS app. That's a system app so I think you'll need to be rooted in order to do it but I'm not positive.

ohh, okay. thank you. I guess I'll have to make do with what's here.
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.
Hey everyone.
I'm customizing my stock ICS .587 Sony ROM and I wonder where can I get ICS Messaging (the one that comes with CM9) .apk and how to make it works? I've searched it all over the CM9 ROM files, but didn't find any. I've also downloaded it from Play Store, but when I receive a message both ICS Messaging and stock Messaging apps are showing me notifications what is really annoying. I tried to freeze stock Messaging app using Link2SD, but then I can't receive messages. It doesn't come to my phone. So what can I do to have ICS Messaging as my default messaging app?
In the stock messaging settings, there should be an option to disable notifications (which only disables notifications on stock, ICS messaging will still work)

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?

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?

You could freeze all SMS apps except for the one you want to use.

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.
