Uh, there's no reason to remove it, just install whatever other messaging application you choose to use, and turn off notifications from the built-in app.
The *application* doesn't receive messages... the *phone* does.

handscent sms and messaging both notify, annoying!

Like the title...
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.

rm htc messanger, what effect does it have?

Hi
I have never used the default HTC messenger program for sending and receiving txt messages. Now that I have root I was thinking about removing it; if I remove it will that cause any problems in my ability to send and receive txt messages?
Was also thinking about removing:
Amazon MP3 Store (or what ever it is called in 2.1)
Stock
Peep

So removing the stock message app is prob not a good idea then?
Yeah, don't remove it unless you don't want any texts! All the market apps piggyback the htc app's connection / protocol and just disable the notifications for the original app.
You can remove the others you listed with no problems though
I just want to make sure, if I remove peep, I can still receive twitter updates if I download a third party client from the marketplace?

Yes, you can.
I was curious of the same question as you. It sucks for me though because I use Handcent for my sms/mms needs but even with the notifications disabled in the stock messaging app it still pops up in both
I had handcent, default messages, and google voice on my phone back when I was running stock 1.5 and I only recieved notifications from handcent. I am not sure which rom you are running or which settings in messages you have checked or unchecked. Let me know.

text messages and e-mail

this is more of opinion survey versus anything else.
i am looking for a text message widget and email widget.
specifically something for viewing text messages and e-mail from the desktop with the ability to delete, forward and reply at my discretion. as always i am looking for usability and functionality
i have been in the market and tried multiple apps, chomp, ohmymms, and many others- after some looking today i see there are many more. hopefully some of you have found something that you prefer over something else.
i would like to read about it.
thanks in advance
i used to use, fancy widgets messaging widget.
its set up like the HTC Sense widget but smaller i dont know if it has all the functionality your looking for though
Is there an app that you can send and recieve MMS through? I am using Boost on my sprint HTC touch and can't recieve MMS on it because it just sends a link that is broken. If there is an app that can intercept those messages and send the full picture message to my phone, that would be amazing!

Thanks.

as you guys are on sprint/boost there is a patch someplace you can install to assist with picture messaging. google it and you ought to find something.
personally, i have been an owner for over a year and tried everything but to no avail. best thing i have found for images is e-mail.
hope it helps
There are cabs you can install, but those are for WinMo from my understanding.

The thing is, no one has found a solution out yet, and as we don't have a fully functioning camera just yet, I don't mind waiting til we do.

[Q] Alternative to Handcent?

Is there an other MMS apps as an alternate to Handcent or Chomp?
My main issue with Handcent is that it takes too long to get text notifications. They're instant with the default Froyo Mms.apk. Handcent takes an extra 2+ minutes for texts to show up.
I'm willing to try Handcent longer if someone knows how to make it receive texts faster. I enabled auto retrieve and roaming auto retrieve.
Kill the pop up on handcent, that speeds it up a lot.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Popup is disabled... I'm not talking about phone lag. The texts just don't show up instantly like they do with the default Mms app.
Then just use the stock. I just dropped handcent because it's too bulky.

There's that, Chomp SMS. I also just use the stock app.

I haven't seen any other sms apps that actually handle sending/receiving texts. Only widgets or popups and such
If you are looking for another texting app, go sms is decent too. Not sure if this will help you, but another option

I used this App for a couple of weeks since I fell in love with the black theme and pop up was 5 times nicer than the Handcent one but I found even Handcent to be quicker than Go SMS. But it is still an App I suggest giving a shot. I might even give it another chance to see if the updates have fixed it up a bit.
I just started using Go SMS the other day and like it a lot. I have been using handcent for a year now and Go SMS seems a little faster and doesn't have all the fluff I didn't use anyway.
was using hancent/chomp/gosms for some time now. just switched back to handcent. to be honest they became quite alike over time. it felt like chomp was always a little behind. no idea what's causing the lag on your phone. although i'm using handcent again, if you can't figure out the source of the problem, i'd recommend staying with gosms. they update all their apps very frequently and doing great so far. might increase the possibility of getting the error fixed which is causing your problem...
I have a HTC Magic and Handcent and the HTC Messaging App both send notifications at exctly the same time.

Disable notifications in the stock app.

Personally, I am a fan of the stock MMS app and using SMS popup from the market. It's a very small app, and allows the popup similar to Handcent.

Explain the pwnage factor I haven't tried it as I wasn't all that impressed with the description...sounded like all the others with more visual candy (themes). Why are you sold on it?
I don't like how Go SMS doesn't let you restrict the popup to only come up when the screen is off. Also doesn't have the Gingerbread SMS icon.

I don't use popups, but there's a nice green icon I like. I suppose you could leave the stock icon on and turn off the go icon, then when you get the icon just clear it and launch go? Or use whatever you're using, lol.
Hmm
I have used ChompSMS pretty much the entire time I have owned an android phone and it is way awesome! And super customizable. Way awesome, never have problems with it.
I'm trying out go sms and it seems good so far. I may end up not using the popular because I really like advanced sms toast. It's clean and simple

[Q] Help: SMS messages being sent on itw own?

Help please.. I was told that my phone has been sending sms messages to my friends on my contacts list. Without me knowing it, of course. What causes this? Any help would be appreciated.
You have obviously installed some app that has permissions to do this. Go though the most recent installs, and uninstall any that have the rights to send messages and see contact information.
Look at the sms's sent and see if there is any clue there, too.
ok thanks for the quick reply.. But how about some apps, that came already installed on the phone, I cant remove them.. Also some social apps, like the facebook and yahoo messenger.. They have this permissions, is there any way to unable the said permission? thanks!
Preinstalled apps won't do this.. Neither will facebook or Yahoo Messenger.
ok.. because those pre-installed one's also has reminders like those. So its safe for mo to re-install fb and ym?
its safe to install fb yahoo .
What are the contents of these SMS? Is it like a butt dial SMS or are your friends getting strange advertisements and links?
Sounds like malware.
uhm, they were receiving txt messages that I have already previously sent them. I mean older ones..
anyone? who has the same problem?

Yes, I had this. For some reason the texts were marked as unsent, probably because I have bad cell coverage at home. On a reboot they were all resent, regardless of if they had been sent.
I started using GO SMS and I have not had the problem. I also updated my kernel, but I cannot imagine that was the issue.
I also rooted the phone and killed off the bloatware. Perhaps it was the social hub, which I have now disabled.
could it be the "sms popup" that i installed? I installed it for me to be able to reply much easier to person texting em. Its like a pop up where you can already see the message and reply at once..
I looked at the GO SMS, I saw that it also has a reminder that it allows the phone to send text messages on its own.
Whats the best messga widget do you guys use? Thanks!

Not impossible. I think I did use that to, but the GO SMS has a popup of its own which seems better.
There is also a GO SMS widget that works quite well, I find. I prefer the popup and an unread message count shortcut.
