Stock messaging tweaks - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey all
i know there are many messaging apps and i use go pro but switched to stock the other day to send a video. After going back to it i like the look of it if i could change a few things. is there anyway to edit the stock app? i.e on the main screen that would display all texts if i could remove the contact head icon and just have name and message that would be cool and if on that same main screen, make the text smaller.

Couple of questions...

I installed handcent and now when I get a text I get 2 notifications. How do I delete the at&t app? In titanium backup I only see the ability to remove the preferences but not the program itself.
Also I am running launcher pro and I want to use my tw app drawer icon but its not available when I go to change the icon. How do I get it on there? I can use other tw icons for other apps, just not this one.
Thx

Open Messaging, and on the main list of all your threads hit Menu then settings and disable Notification.
I had the same issue. Don't delete the messaging app. (I don't know if you should or shouldn't, so I wouldn't), just disable the notifications.
Edit: Gotten from here: http://www.handcent.com/Faq.php
It's an excellent sms replacement imo.

[Q] How can I replace unmovable shortcuts on homescreen *root*

I am running the stock Rogers rom (2.3.3) and am rooted.
The phone came preloaded with 'phone' 'internet' 'email' and 'applications' shortcuts at the bottom of the screen (like so http://www.androidincanada.ca/web/c...9_with_three_year_contract_54999_outright.jpg). I would like to replace 'email' with the Gmail application and possibly add messages to the list. These items however can not be dragged around like normal home screen shortcuts/widgets.
How can I do this? I am rooted!
I think your best bet is to use a different Launcher that you can customize. I use ADWex it lets you chose from lots of different dock bars and you can use any icon you want or even edit the icon. Just be sure to download Home Switcher so the you can go back if you dont like the launcher and If you like whatever launcher you chose you can delete Twiz launcher all together with Titanium backup since you are already rooted.
Thanks for the reply, I would ideally like to keep the stock launcher. Is there a way using root explorer to change the path of the email icon so it goes to gmail (or even messages)

Request: cm11s lock screen hangout mod

I use google hangout a lot. But only SMS shows up on lock screen, not hangout. Any mods to make that possible?? Preferably not a replacement lock screen unless its as nice as the original. Thanks

Personally I haven't tinkered around with the lockscreen, but is it not possible to add shortcuts in CM11s?
I'm not looking for shortcuts. I want to be able to preview the hangout messages in the lock screen as of they were sms

How to change default dialer app.

Hi everyone,
I want to use DW contacts and phone App as my default dialer.
I installed the app but how to make this the default dialer app.
I looked into Application Manager under the ALL tab, and managed to remove the dialer app as default, but then couldn't see where to make DW dialer, as the default app.
I've searched for hours.
The only current solution is to put the DW dialer icon on the edge panel and remove the default one. But I can't seem to get the Dialer icon on the bottom left of the display to link to DW dialer, meaning setting DW as the default dialer. Every time i press the icon only the default android/samsung dialer comes up.
Anyone know where/how to edit the app drawer shortcuts?
Maybe I will root again and try to do this and edit some setting in the system. ie build.prop ? (I haven't re-rooted since installing stock lollipop) Or is there another way?
SM-N915G
Has anyone found a solution?
All 3rd party dialers use the stock samsung dialer as their base.
You can only choose the stock dialer or skype as the default when making or receiving a call.
Is there any mod anyone has heard about to flash the stock dark themed JB dialer?
I hate the stupid white UI of the KK and LP dialers.

Dual-SIM Dialer and Messaging

Hi all. I just added a second number to my phone (Galaxy S21). This is my first experience with dual sims.
What dialers and texting apps would you recommend for use with two numbers on the same phone?
What I really want is to have two separate apps (or two instances/variants of the same app?) handle the separate numbers. So: have two phone icons on my home screen and two messaging icons on my home screen. One phone icon opens a dialer dedicated to one number. Ditto for text messaging. I can imagine an app that can make this possible by using widgets instead of direct app icons, but I'm not sure that such an app exists.
Appreciate your thoughts.
