Is it possible to have the time stamps, showing when sent and received sms, to be disabled/hidden by default in the Android Messages app? I know it works if you press on the message sent, but I want it off all the time...
Can't find a setting for it, so is it possible to config something in Preferences Manager xml file? I'm on nougat, magisk, xposed.
Thanks!

Is there any alternative for SMSDRfix by Saman-cz? It does perfectly what it should, but it's annoying when sending out a group sms.
If you would get 30 sms'es, you'd get 1 notification on the first with the content of the sms. If you still have unread messages and get another sms, you'll see '10 new messages' or something similar with the SMS notification. If you go to the inbox, the popup for the new messages is gone. But now for the delivery notification, take for example 30 people to whom you will send an sms to, you'll get 30 delivery notifications and 30 popups which can only be deleted manually and one by one. This notification popup can't be disabled through the Sounds menu in the settings cpanel. If you mark the delivery notifications as read in the inbox, the popups are still there.
I read in older topics that Saman wouldn't make changes anymore to his utility, which I find a real pity. So my question now is if it is possible to remove all those ugly notification popups from SMSDRfix at once or if there is an alternative to this utility that actually works without causing headaches.
(the popups are gone when a soft reset is performed, but that's not always a good solution)
thx
i found smileysms, but that doesn't do it either.
also 30 popups for 30 sms delivery notifications..
ANYone?
Don't know of an alternative, but If the problem is with group sms's you can send some using an app called GroupSMS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307296&highlight=GroupSMS
also, delivery notifications can be disabled from Messaging/SMS/Menu/tools/options
click on SMS\MMS and unmark Request Delivery Notifications
if you want to receive the notifications AND be able to dismiss them all at once, i don't have a solution for you, sorry.
Add new features to SMSDRFix by Saman yourself!

Saman mailed me the source files of SMSDRFix (SMSDeliveryFix)!
I use smsdrfix to show the name of the recipient on the dr. But it removes the delivery date/time which I also needed. Any alternatives that can show both recipient name and date/time? Thanks in advance.
For the life of me I can't figure out why I am getting two notifications for every SMS I receive. I have menu->settings->sound and display->notification ringtone set to Silent
I have Handcent SMS instaleld set to "Tweeters". When I get a SMS it plays "Ta Da" and then a second later plays "Tweeters".
When I turn Handcents SMS notification, I only get "Ta Da".
I uninstalled built in messaging with titanium backup hoping that might solve it, I have no other sms app installed that I know of. How can I turn this sound off? Getting two notifications for every SMS is driving me NUTS!

Not sure if you can undo this now that you uninstalled the built-in messaging. If you still had it you would just open the messaging app and click on the menu->settings and under Notification settings uncheck the Notifications option. Now it would seem that you are in a limbo state since you uninstalled the stock messaging app.
You might have to restore a backup or reflash the stock ROM using Odin3 to get it into a state where you can turn of the stock messaging notifications.
if you go into your messages. go back to the screen where you can see all your messages. Click menu, then settings, then look for notification settings.
Anyone have the messaging apk they don't mind sharing? Titanium backup won't seem to restore it. I'd rather not completely undo everything I've done to date.
Alternatively is there a config file somewhere that would keep this? In winmo there was a registry I could go clean manually if needed.
Peter
Not sure about the config file or the apk, but as for titanium it won't restore if you didn't back it up before you deleted it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
U dont need to delete messaging app just open messaging app click on settings go to where is says auto retrieve and uncheck it. then go to handcent goto settings and make sure auto retreive is checked now only youll get one notification
zorphnog: I did a complete backup before deleting, titanium still won't restore it.
Anyone want to back theirs up and send me the file?
vinid: I understood exactly what you said, however I had already deleted messaging trying to get rid of the tone.
Now I am stuck with a phone that beeps twice. I can't imagined that there isn't a file somewhere that can be edited to remove this notification.

Hi,
I've been trying to disable talk application to display text of incoming messages (security risk), while still being notified when new message arrives. Not an option . You can either disable notifications for good, make them pop up (even worse) or have it as it is by default: showing you a line of text from last message you received.
I installed trillian IM hoping it would have the option I need, but with no luck. I'm perfectly happy with talk app btw, but lack of this option is simply plain old stupid.
Does anyone know how to resolve this or some other IM messenger that I could use instead, which has this nice little option?
Cheers
Every few days I get a notification:
"Messaging not default sms app. Tap to make Messaging your default SMS.."
(that's what it says; it actually stops mid sentence). I click on it and there's a dialog box:
"Change SMS app?
Use messaging instead of Hangouts as your SMS app?
No Yes"
Now obviously I don't want to do this (why would anyone), but I click on No and the box goes away but it'll come back again later. I can't uninstall messaging, and when I load it to see if it has options to never do anything again ever the first thing it does is pop up the "Change sms app" box again, and when I press No it quits.
Hangouts is indeed my default SMS app; it's enabled (you can see it in the settings), it works (i receive SMS and hangout messages through it).
Do I have to start disabling apps, or is there a way of getting this to stop? I'm on 5.0.2 on a 6603 (uk unbranded) and this problem is new to lollipop.
never got this problem, maybe because i disable the other one. try that and let us know how it goes.
Is anybody successfully using chompSMS as their default text app and getting all of texting features on their watch? (I have a Galxy S6 on Verizon in the US).
Following an old thread for this issue on the Gear 1, I was able to get most of the features working. The issue, lies with the fact that the watch wants you to use the default messaging app "Messages" on Samsung phones (which is horrible). I have notifications for the default "Messages" app turned on and silenced on my phone and not showing notifications to prevent duplicates on my phone. I will copy the process from the other thread and link it below.
The best I am currently achieving is that when I receive a text on my phone, I get the chompSMS notification on the watch and can quick reply to it by viewing the text through the notification screen, or when it firsts pops up on the watch face. But if I go to the "Messages" app on the watch to look through a conversation, all I can see are the sent messages from the phone, and not the replies. I am unsure if this is because part of the chompSMS functions are working, or part of the "Messages" app on the phone are working. Either way, Id like to be able to see both the sent and received texts here.
Upon opening the "Messages" app on the watch, I get the message "Unable to receive messages on the Gear. Change the default messaging app to "Messages". I just skip past it to get to the messages.
Has anyone been able to get all of this working with chompSMS? I am unwilling to switch apps on my phone but if you have gotten other apps working, the process could be helpful to me. I would think there would be a way to trick the phone to use two default messaging apps or trick into not requiring one. I haven't rooted my phone but would consider if somebody has gotten it to work that way.

This is what I did...
I uninstalled Go SMS (I'm not sure if this is necessary), and reinstalled.
In the Go SMS :
In the "Notification Settings":
Enable Notifications --> checked.
In the Defualt notification settings:
Vibrate --> checked.
Blink LED -- checked.
In the "Other setting" menu:
Disable other message notification -- Un-checked
In the stock messaging app:
Under "More" tab:
Notifications --> checked
Select ringtone -- > set to "silent"
Vibrate --> Un-checked
Preview message --> checked.
Open the Application manager in the settings of the phone:
Swipe over to the "ALL" tab, and scroll down until you find the "Messages" app. Un-check "show notifications" This will prevent double notifications in the panel.
This should do it. When I received a text, the first time I clicked "show on device", the option popped up on the phone to select the default program between Go SMS and stock messaging. I clicked Go SMS, and set to "Always". Now it opens up Go SMS everytime.
Hope this helps some of you!
Thanks for any help you guys. Much appreciated.

so when you go to the messages app on the watch, you are able to see texts that you send using chomp from your phone? maybe i need to do a reset on my watch..
How do you have the notifications and alerts set up to achieve this?
anyone else have any insight?
I use Handcent and can't get it to work either. The watch always tell me to change the default messaging app. I asked Handcent (through their facebook page) several weeks ago if they were going to update it to support the Gear S2 and they have totally ignored me (and anybody else that posts there). They have a google group now that I submitted a request to join WEEKS ago and its still pending. Because of that, I switched to the default messaging app so it would work on the watch. Apparently handcent isn't interested in helping people that use their app. Perhaps you have better luck with ChompSMS than I have had with Handcent.

Interstingly, I emailed the people at chompSMS the other day and they got back to me very quickly that they have notified the dev team about it (who knows what will come of that).
It seems simple enough. In fact even if the third party apps could be used without being the default messenger, and not show the "make default app" banner when you use them, everything would work great. You'd just follow the instructions i linked above and all the features would work because the stock Messages app would be the default but not be giving you notifications.

I have noticed that it only syncs what I typed to others in the message app, but when i'm texting it show the interaction between who im texting. There is no special config, just make sure Chomp is selected in GM Notifications
