I just rooted/cyan'ed my phone and when reinstalling handscent sms I found that both handscent and stock sms notify. I solved this before by uninstalling messaging, but with cyanogen/donut 1.6 doesn't give me the option.
Does anyone know what I can do to disable stock messaging or manually uninstall it.
at all threads in messaging >menu>settings>uncheck "notifications"
Ahhhh...I'm a genious, thankyou!!!!
I have the EVO and I uncehcked notifications and set Handset to auto recieve and mine were still coming to my main one. I just deleted the message icon on my home screen and replaced it with Handscent. I'm only getting one notification but the message was still going to my HTC message one. But it's ok since I replaced the Handscent SMS icon with the messaging one. Handscent is cute.

I have the same problem with the Droid Eris. The screens shots that Hanscent sends are not the same as the phone, when trying to disable the Droid messaging software vs. Handscent. Does anyone know how to disable the Droid messaging software?? I would be more than willing to pay someone who can set up my phone correctly. I live 10 mins. south of LAX in L.A.

ever since i started using Hancent SMS, my Default Messaging app doesnt show threads/messages, even when i compose one from the Messaging app, how do i fix this?
stop using hancent sms! Nah... I'm just kidding.
Check with developer (you should be able to get en email either from the app itself or from the market). It could be a known bug or an undocumented feature of the app.
Good luck
im still having this problem. When i open handcent SMS i have like 50 threads of messages, but when i open default Messaging, it doesnt show any, just Compose New Message.....whats goin on?

Just out of curiousity....
Handcent is a default sms/mms replacement application, so why the love affair with the default app? I'm thinking its probably meant to use one or the other, not both. Perhaps once Handcent is installed, it routes everything in the mmssms.db file over to its directory and when its uninstalled it reverts back. Just a thought, of course, it doesn't really help you.
i wanted to start using it since Ted themed it to look more like Hero MMS, i use backuo for root users, so i backed up SMS/MMS and uninstalled Handcent, and then restored SMS.MMS but still wouldnt show up in MMS app

Did you reboot after the restore? You could also try pushing the backed up mmssms.db file from the backup for root users folder directly to the default messaging app's database folder, reboot and see if that works. The default messaging app folder is located here:
Code:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
i tried that and still nothing, also when i unistalled Handcent, i went into Messaging and tried to send message to myself, and never recieved it, same when i sent myself message from friends phone, somethings not right
I love Handscent SMS but there are a few problems....
When I sent messages people seem to get them twice...at least with MMS...
When I get messages my notification tone plays twice...and it's annoying. Even though I have already set handscent as the default messaging program it still does these things...is there a way to avoid it?
I tried Chomp SMS and it said something about disabling notifications in Android. I haven't got to test this much but it may work for Handscent also. I prefer Handscent so far over Chomp. The layout is a little nicer.

go into your stock messaging app settings (not handcent settings) and disable notifications. that should fix the double notification tone.
dont know about the double mms thing you are having though. i love handcent and i refuse to use the default messaging app
I sometimes get double replies from people through handcent though I don't think I'm actually receiving the SMS twice. It seems like some glitch :x .. as for MMS.. I'm not too sure but Handcent has a dedicated forum you should try visiting with a question as they would probably have a better answer X_x
http://bbs.handcent.com/
I've done some research and found out that HTC sense offers this. I want to have a pop-up of my text with a quick reply option on my lockscreen. Is there an apparently that can do it for the captivate? I've tries SMS pop-up and go SMS. Neither works and I hate to continuously install apps. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Handscent does this very well but it tends to work best as a replacement for the default messaging app.

got handcent to work Thanks for your help people
Ok, so.. I've tried all of those, they all suck. I just found this new one called GO MMS or GO SMS or something. It's awesome, customization options, awesome popup ui, quick, try it out.
ok I am having the worst luck with TINY problems on this D4. so I was having a problem where blurcontactsync was causing my contacts to crash if I tried to use them, I found a simple fix to rename the apk to .bak, and it worked
Now I noticed that when I get a text message I do not receive any kind of notification. No smiling message in the notification bar, no notification tone, no vibrate. I have gone into text message settings and set the tone, I have gone into general settings and set the tone. I even went into titainium backup and froze "Messaging, and Universal Inbox" because I thought they might be interfering just like the blur contacts sync. no luck Still do not receive any kind of indication not even the LED flashing.
all my other notifications work fine, if I get an email, or a missed call I get a notification tone and a flashing green light....I extensively searched XDA and people were having this problem with the droid X but it was some kind of update bug and was fixed with a new patch....anyone have any ideas what I could do to get my notifications working again??
Hmm I can't replicate this problem on mine but do you use the stock text messaging app? Try a third party texting app like Handcent and then send a test to yourself from text.vzw.com and see if you get the notification.

yea I'm currently using the stock app I was hoping to avoid a 3rd party app but I guess Im going to dive into that. I can just freeze my stock msg app right?

I wouldn't freeze the stock messaging app, I believe that's still necessary even with a 3rd party app (speaking of, I highly recommend GoSMS, but have also been happy with Handcent in the past).
I remember seeing over on DroidForums.net that someone froze their stock messaging app and wasn't receiving any texts after that. Give it a shot but if you don't get any texts for a while I'd unfreeze
Hello. I Completely switched to GO sms and GO launcher pro, so I was wondering if I could freeze the messaging app and the adw app. If so, which messaging app do i freeze? There's two and i dont want to mess with any settings.
/system/app/mms.apk <-- stock messaging apk if you freeze won't be able to send picture messages but sms will still send. Better alternative is just disable any notifications.
/system/app/vzwsms.apk <-- don't freeze this or can't send anything
/system/app/org.adw.launcher-1.apk <-- adw launcher

I think it's the other way around that you can't receive mms but you can send. Least that was my problem when I did.
Turn off notifications
Can't you just go into the stock messaging app and turn off notifications? It sounds to me like that's what you want, but I may be wrong
Go SMS had an option to handle sol SMS/mms functions if the stock SMS app is uninstalled. Idk how good it works. Gosms also should disable stock notifications.
Honestly, you could uninstall adw. Just don't do a fact reset. You'll have no launcher. Iirc.
