Customize Samsung messenger app - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hi.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but is it not possible to customise the chat bubble colours in the Samsung sms messenger app? I can't see any options in the app to change it from the default orange and grey

Only way is to download a theme from the store. I use the pixel one.

[Q] Start Kid safe launcher but not by default?

Hi,
i use and really like the square style theme of the huawei launcher (which looks similar to the nokia smartphones)
Nevertheless for my little nephew i want to install a kid safe launcher (family center). I know how to change the default lauchner in the App settings
but if i do that after closing the app it will change to the'normal' app button view instead of the much prefered squares theme?
Is there a possibility to use the other starter like anynormal app. Just by clicking it so that after closing it returns to the
standard launcher settings each time?
If not, is there any other possibility to control which apps/Settings/Internet etc.. an user is allowed to see?
thx B895

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?

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.

Dark themed Google Messenger ?

I prefer " Google Messenger " for texting, over the stock Messages that the Note 5 uses by default. But I am running the ' Dark Material ' theme, and installing Google Messenger is all white, and sort of blinding after everything else being so nice and dark with the theme.
Does anyone have an .apk of an inverted or dark themed Messenger ? Can I use one found on a different phone, like a themed Messenger from the Nexus 5 or 6 ? or does it need to be specifically made for the Note 5 ?
Also one other question. How do I set Google Messenger to be the default text app ? I know when installing ti the first time, it asks if I want to use it as the main sms app. But when I would miss a text, I still shows the Samsung Messages Heads Up notification on the location.

They both have heads up notifications. So if you're using Google Messenger as your main text app then you are seeing Google Messenger heads up notifications. But if not...go to the Google Messenger app....then to settings...and it will be right there at the top

Thanks. And do I need to do anything to completely stop the stock Samsung Messages from showing Heads Up ? I basically want that app turned off, and just use Google Messenger only. I want Google Messenger to show up on the lock screen only.

once you activate google messenger as your default sms....it will totally deactivate your stock messenger in every way. Now if you want google messenger heads up deactivated....i dont think you can lol I could be wrong though

Does anyone have a dark mod / inverted Google Messenger .apk ?
Messenger so much better than stock but would love a dark theme
Sorry to hijack the thread, OP. Are you able to send and receive MMS through Google Messenger? Thanks.
I too am looking for a blacked out theme
Ill try to theme out the latest google messenger apk. Itll most likely be a material dark gray color with white text.

Heads up notification will get rid of all pop ups but I think you have to be rooted. I use it and it works well. For dark themed apps use Darth stalkers rom

Email notification on All-In-One Carbon watchface

I have just bought the All-In-One Carbon watchface which is great and very customisable. You can show 5 apps along the bottom and click through directly to each of them. It also shows a notification e.g. on the Messages app if you have a waiting text. My problem is that I use Gmail rather than the native Email used by Samsung on my Note 3. I do get Gmail notifications on the watch in the normal way but I would like to see the notification on an app on the main watchface if possible. Would that mean I have to use Email rather than Gmail on my phone? If so, I'll leave it as I much prefer Gmail.
Thanks.
