Just got my LE RAZR HD MAXX. I like the Circle Widget. I use handcent for my text messaging. The notification that pops up in the clock for a new message still opens the stock messaging app. Is there a way to set it to open up in Handcent instead?

I think I read that if you disable the stock messaging app, the 3rd party messaging app will replace the stock app in the lock screen. Maybe it will work for the circles widget too.
^^ That's true. You could also just disable the texts from appearing in the clock widget if you cant figure it out.

I turned off the notifications and such for the stock app. Handcent does appear on the lock screen now. Can I actually go through the settings-> apps-> ALL menu and actually DISABLE it? I wasn't sure if that would effect Handcent or not.

Ok, if you DISABLE "Text Messaging" from under the settings-> apps-> all menu, it works. The notification still appears in the clock circle, and it has the stock messaging app icon, but if I click it, Handcent opens up, not stock messenger.

Hey guys, sorry for the thread resurrection, but I really couldn't find a good answer for this. Just picked up a Droid Razr Maxx HD and I've been trying to disable the stock messaging app. Unfortunately, the 'Disable' button is greyed-out, even after force-stopping the app. Is there something else that needs to be done, or can you not disable it completely in JB? I currently have all notifications turned off and using Handcent in lieu-of the stock app, but like others I want Handcent to appear on the lockscreen and in the Circles widget.
Any help is appreciated!

Yeah, like I mentioned above, I did try to disable this app. BUT on the App info screen for Text Messaging, the 'Disable' button is greyed-out - I cannot press this button. I can force-stop the app, but this does not allow me to press the 'Disable' button.
Any other suggestions?
EDIT: Thanks GoClifGo05. Although, that's bad news.

I've somehow gotten two message indicators that both pop up when I get a text.
It has stayed through fresh, aloysius, and it's now on CM6 RC1.
I think it originated when I flashed ZenHero, but I'm not 100% sure on that one.
When I pulldown the taskbar and click the white icon, it takes me to my messages, but stays in my notifications bar.
When I click the message icon (smiley face folder), it opens my message and then goes away.
But the white envelope still stays.
I just want to know how to get that damn white one to never come up again.
I've included some screenies.
PLEASE help me!
I'm going nuts hearing 2 message alerts every time i get a text!

r u using a third party app like handcent or chomp SMS. If so u have to turn off the notification in the stock app.
if not look in the stock app settings and c how the reports r comming in.
im using the stock app.
if i turn off the indicator from there, i only get the white one.
it must've been something i flashed.
1. Wrong forum
2. If it's not Handcent or ChompSMS, have you installed SMS Popup?
1. Sorry
2. I think I did WAAAAY back.
Any way to undo what i did?
At one short moment, I had handcent. Hated it.
But I think I flashed a new rom without deleting sms popup.
It's no longer installed now.
Possible for the settings to have stuck?
ok. tried reinstalling sms popup and then uninstalling.
no avail.

Use titanium backup to uninstall sms pop-up for good
Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
Hit Menu->Settings->Applications now look for any 3rd party sms app and uninstall if you find any. Otherwise try going to your messaging app and clearing all the data and caches. My last option would be to reboot into recovery and fix apk uid mismatches. Not quite sure what the last one does in technical terms but in the past minor quirkes have been fixed by doing that. One thing is for sure though that you have two separate apps receiving incoming msges, if both lead to the default messaging app try disabling notifications in your default messaging app and see if you still get one notification. Just some ideas.
You must have the stock Android SMS app and the HTC SMS app. you need to disable one of them.
Which SMS app is which?
I want to disable the white icon one.

The stock android sms is the black smily face.
and how do i go about disabling one of them?
I've tried looking around the phone with adb shell to no avail (not that I really know what I'm looking for anyways!).
I know my way around pretty well, but some help would be GREATLY appreciated.
TiBackup was no help. Didn't see any remnants of SMS popup laying around. Do I do anything special?
Next step is trying the apk mismatches.
thanks so far for all the suggestions
I found it.
It was beautiful SMS from the bw pack 2.
i used the "dev tools" app in CM6 to see running processes.
had a text sent to me, and saw what was new that popped into the list.
wasn't even running, yet it made that icon pop-up.
Thanks for all of the advice guys.
You're the best.
Many of you having been asking me to post some flashable zips of the RAZR M launcher I modded for CSROM.
Well, I finally got off my lazy butt and did it (sorry for the delay!).
The launcher is from a different device (Motorola RAZR M) and different Android version (ICS), so there is a little lag.
But that is a small price to pay for the awesome circle widget!
There are currently two versions available: with and without the persistent search bar.
While I was able to remove the search bar, I have not yet been able to recover the real estate.
Six other apps are installed which are required to make the circle widget fully functional.

It might not work then. Motorola did an excellent job of locking down this widget. I am not aware of anyone getting it to work on anything other than a Motorola launcher (I gave up). I guess that applies to the lockscreen too.
the widget has a clean look

If you root and get G3 tweaksbox you can set volume up as torch with screen off
I don't know if its the best out there but Super-Bright LED Flashlight works fine for me.
I simply use long press home button to turn the torch on/off. Works only if you have root and gravity box of course...

Hi, I just upgraded to Android 5.0.1 , and i noticed something different with my notifications.
Instead of just appearing at the top black bar, all my notifications started appearing with a large white background drop down from the top. (See the screenshot).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This happens on both WhatsApp and Android Messenger App.
I changed it to Priority Interruption, but it also continued to appear.
Am i able to disable this, or revert to the old way of notification??
It seems like whoever is using my phone can now see all my messages as they come in.
Thanks!

Becouse android 5.0 has new API ,it same facebook and facebook messenger, they have new notifications same it .I dont know how can close in apps . OS settings sound¬ification you can find maybe or wait apps update...
Try that: Go to settings>Apps>tap on whatsapp and if there is a checkbox with "heads up", disable it.
I don't know if that works on stock but all custom roms I've tried so far had it
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
With Android 5.0 Lollipop (and buried in 4.4 source code), Google introduced Heads Up notifications (what you're seeing), mainly for important notifications such as calls, emails and texts. There is a flag an app can add to a notification so it pops up with a Heads Up notification instead of only appearing in your status bar. WhatsApp and Messenger simply have the flag appended to the notifications because they assume your messages are important.
If a ROM has Slim's take on Heads Up merged in, one can force enable/disable Heads Up for specific apps instead of allowing the app developer to choose if they're important enough, which is why @bm19981217 has that option.
@Lethargy Oh ok...
But why do Lollipop roms have that feature? I'm quite sure some Lollipop roms I tried have that checkbox but I might be wrong
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Hmmm.. but im using stock rom... 5.01 OTA update (sideloaded though).
I went to android settings --> Apps --> Whatsapp
but i didnt see any "heads up" check box. I only see "Show notifications".
Doesnt seem to be that option.
Can i download/install Slim's take on heads up separately? Is there such an app?
If not, i guess i can only wait for whatsapp to release an update.
Lots of people, me included, don't like this heads up feature without some kind of control. See below.

goooooooood
it dosenot required root device
With HeadsOff lollipop heads-up notifications can now be disabled!
No root needed.
You can also restore the ticker text in the statusbar!

Use the whitelist app posted in this forum. It's on Google Play.
I have no idea what the Essential app did other than whitelist Nova.
It didn't seem to do anything for me. I turned off whitelisting from the app and Nova reverted to old behavior. Maybe it's just whitelisting and if you already had that setup it doesn't do anything else.

I already had the whitelist editor installed and Nova was selected. Even after the update, when I deselect nova on the whitelist editor, it's no longer full scene. Not sure if the whitelist editor overrides the company's update... either way I rather use the whitelist editor than wait on Essential to update their whitelist. Lol
Seeing the same thing on mine. Luckily the whitelist editor works so well it's not really an issue.
