Whenever I get a message using Handcent I also get a duplicate message in my stock msgr. How do I disable this? I have Handcent set as my default msngr.
have you tried going into stock app then
menu > settings > auto retrieve > off ?
might only apply to MMS tho and not regular SMS...if that doesn't work, dunno
On the stock msgr, you go into settings and turn off the notifications under settings, like sound, vibrate etc.
if you are rooted and wanna use handcent sms.. rather than the default then just use root explorer go to system/apps then delete the mms.apk

You have no idea how much this duplicate msg. Thing has been bothering me. Thus worked like a charm. Thank you so much for the help and especially the quick reply.

How can I get the native mms to stop popping up with handcent mms? I've tried disabling auto retrieve along with removing the mms.apk, but it still pops up.
Any idea on how to make sure the native mms doesn't popup when receiving a new message?
default messaging application > settings >In the notifications settings , uncheck the notification bar.

Be careful with that, you will most likely kill mms, unless one of the recent handcent updates has changed something.

I remember reading that deleting important apk's like that via root explorer can be dangerous. If you decide to delete it that way, make a nand backup first.

I've been using handcent for quite some time now. I simply go into the stock SMS application and turn absolutely everything off, including auto-retrieve, notification sounds, notification vibrate, etc.
My settings are backed up through Titanium Backup, so when I flash a new ROM, I just re-apply the backup of the settings. Works wonderfully for me.

Tried this, but then I can't get MMS (messages with photo attachments). Everything else works, but MMS stops working.
To begin with, I am only getting messages duplicated when they come through a gateway such as [email protected]. The ones that come direct from other people are usually fine and I get only 1. I've searched and searched for the answer for this and can't seem to find it.
Does handcent load super slow for you guys. Had to stop using because of that.

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 am on JH7, rooted, enabled non market apps using superoneclick v1.5
I changed the ringtone on settings, but when a text come or phone rings, the default/stock ringtones is the one that came out...
what happen??
T_T
help me, TIA
Try it again and then go back and check your settings to make sure it applied. Just a thought.

i checked it hundreds times... i send text to myself to try if the notification tone changed, but no, it didnt...
I solved it by downloading a sms app and turn on the the notification for text from the app and kill the notification from settings..
thanks for the reply =)

Cool you found a workaround, never had trouble myself. BTW, were you changing the notification sound in the messaging app or just in overall settings?
Got the same problem, also can't turn off the usb debugging mode and change most of settings. Looks like it appeared after I enabled sideloading and removed Start-Up Sound and some att apps.
I am on JH7, rooted, enabled non market apps.
Can anyone help?
Did you try to change the notification sounds within the app itself? Open SMS, hit menu, settings or options, then notification. Same with email.
I found out if you remove the Stock Messaging app you start to not be able to receive Pictures. People probably know this but I thought it was a nice piece of info others could know just in case so they don't delete the stock messaging app like I did.
If you were going to use a 3rd party app, such as Handcent, you need to make sure the settings are to use that app for MMS messaging. It's been a while since I used that, but I do recall the default settings to NOT accept MMS as a format, but can by changing the setting. Try that.
I do remember that I 'froze' the stock app and was able to receive everything via Handcent, so that should work....

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.

I just installed Messenger - Android Apps on Google Play on my Moto X (2013) Verizon Wireless (Android 4.4.4) and using "Titanium Backup" I "Froze" my native "Messaging" app (green icon).
Yet when someone texts me Messaging app (green icon) reappear from frozen, what am I doing wrong? How should I deal with it? It doesn't look like Messaging app (green icon) is active as I switched my "Default SMS app" to "Messenger", is there something else I need to "Freeze" as well?
Do you have the Google Messenger app set as the default SMS app?

Yes, I do. I didn't even know app can unfreeze itself too.

Are you sure you froze the right app? The green Messaging app is the stock standard android messaging app, not specific to Verizon. The Verizon Messaging app should be a different app, probably red icon.
Also why bother with TiBU to freeze you can just try disabling from settings. Settings -> Apps -> All -> Verizon Messages -> Disable
Alternatively when you get a text and Verizon Messaging app pops up click the android Recent Apps/Multitasking button, long press Verizon, select App Info, and Disable.
Only need TiBU if stock disable feature is unavailable.

Yes, I'm sure I froze right app, maybe I mislabeled it by saying it's Verizon when it's not, but I did freeze (multiple times) a green icon app "Messaging" aka (Messaging 4.4.4-26 (SMS/MMS PREFS)".

I tried that first, it was greyed out, so I cannot do it.

... and that's exactly why I attempt to do it using "Titanium Backup" and unfortunately was not successful(
OK well yeah that was confusing because there is a completely different app called Verizon Messages (has some good ratings, you might wanna look into it).
Anyway, we agree you're talking about the stock messaging app. Unfortunately it seems the stock app is integral to the 4.4.4 system, which is probably why there's no disable button and why you can't freeze it either. And even if you did manage to freeze it, it's likely you can't receive messages at all using other apps.
The solution seems to be to simply turn off notifications from within the app: Messaging -> Settings
See here: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/77712/sms-problem-on-moto-g-after-updating-android-4-4-4
If you're dead set on going all out war on the app you can try using a file explorer with root privilege, find the messaging app (it's System -> priv-app -> MMS) and try renaming it, but that would be a hollow victory as like before it would probably inhibit other apps ability to receive SMS. so just turn off notifications.

Messenger is just a wrapper or fancier interface to the stock MMS app. If you physically remove MMS.apk (or sometimes messaging.apk) from /system/priv-app, then Messenger won't work at all.
You have to have the stock mms app on your system for Messenger to work (at least on 4.4.x)
