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.
Hello.everybody
I am using whitehawxs MIUI 1.9.30
I have installed an application from android market and it has alternative keyboard.
Whenever the app gets started, its keyboard becomes the default keyboard.
The developer says apps can't change the default settings and only if you configured my app's keyboard as default keyboard, then only it can happen.
And he says it is not happening in his S2.
So how can I set default keyboard in miui?
Even if set, is it taking effect ?

I would like to disable SMS/MMS on my phone, and just use google voice. In fact, I don't even want the messaging app.
How do I delete completely, an installed app that's "built-in" to the ROM?
If you have root, you have two methods:
1. Titanium Backup and uninstall it.
2. Root Explorer to /system/app and delete mms.apk.
I'd make a copy for backup, just in case.
Don't delete it ... that's asking for issues.
You can replace the icon in the dock easily (app drawer, menu, view type, customizable grid, menu, edit, drag desired icon over stock icon, menu, save, menu, view type, alphabetical grid).
In the messaging app (inbox, not within a message), menu, settings, uncheck Notifications.
That way you can just ignore the stock app. It will be pretty much like its been uninstalled, but without the issues that come up when you remove stock apps.

I'd presume that OP doesn't want to receive texts at all, thus preventing him from getting charged by ATT. While I'm not sure that yanking the APK will do it (maybe change your SMS retrieval number?), it's more of a step in the right direction, as hiding notifications just hides the fact that texts are coming through.
If the OP wants to block texting, a call to AT&T should fix that.

Just delete the SMS center number in messaging/advanced settings. Without that number, the phone can't retrieve the message. To disable mms, just uncheck mms retrieval(or something like that) in settings.
I'm running MIUI, and I completely uninstalled the stock messaging app, using Handcent in it's place.
Aren't you able to freeze the sms. apk using TiBu or is that only available with the paid version?

I think that's a paid app feature. But, you need root to use it.
I was wondering if there was an xposed module or modified app that changed the default messaging app so when you go into a conversation you can start typing without having to click on the area to initiate typing if that makes sense lol I'm coming from the LG g2 and that feature made replying to texts quicker.
Hi.
Just upgraded my TL-10 to 5.1 and tried to set as default the ultimate caller screen hd app , but it is impossible to do: In fact, NO app can be set as default through application managing. The only thing that I can achieve, is to clear the default setting of stock contacts app. In few words, how can I add the UCS HD as my default app for contacts? Please note that before upgrading, UCS HD had been set easily set .
Thanks in advance.
