Hi,
any help on removing the sms app on the g1? Downloaded Handcent and have no need for the original now. I am aware that i can make original not display any notifications but is there anyway to remove it entirely?
Had a search on the forum and couldn't find anything but if this has been asked and answered before could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
there is a vid on youtube that i saw(forgot name =/) that this guy was doing just that.

i dont think thats related to removing the default sms app
Do NOT remove the reg. messaging app. All the other "replacements" merely read things from the default app, and do not actually receive the messages themselves
Hey guys!
I just discovered an annoying feature on my SGS which I think is a general feature of Android phones...
I usually text long messages (I'm on an unlimited SMS plan) and I get frustrated at the fact that whenever I pass the 3 SMS point, it auto-converts my SMS to MMS. This would be useful for those whose carriers naturally charge less for 1 MMS as compared to long SMS but mine isn't one of them (15 php/mms versus 1 php/sms or free)... and besides I'm on unlimited SMS so this "feature" wastes that plan of mine.
Anyway, I was wondering if there's any way at all to suppress this behavior. A quick Google led me to solutions of just cutting back on texts/sending them in multiple parts or using Handcent SMS app.
The first is too inconvenient for me and the recipients of my texts and cutting back on texting is difficult for me and shouldn't be a solution.
As for the second, I've tried Handcent and it does have a setting to not auto-convert long SMS to MMS but I dislike the layout/theme. I prefer having the look of the original messaging app of the Galaxy S. Nice and clean and blends with the look of the whole system. No matter what tweak I do to the themes and such, it just doesn't look good for me.
So my question is...if Handcent SMS has a setting of suppressing that behavior of Android, is there some way to do that without Handcent SMS? Maybe just a simple app or a tweak somewhere in the software perhaps?
Thanks so much in advance! This is really too annoying a feature and I just want to be rid of it.
I know this is sort of old but I am wondering the same thing. Anybody have any answers?
Foryo is said to keep it as sms http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=74cc9dfbd1669f47&hl=en
EDITED: didn't completely read first post.
I'm not sure if chompSMS has the option too, but it's much closer to the layout/simplicity of the original app.
Yeah from my research on the issue Froyo will in fact fix this issue...here's to hoping it will come out some time soon for SGS!!! I'm tired of copy pasting my long texts into Handcent SMS :/ it caused a disastrous mis-send recently )
I have yet to try ChompSMS..I'll give it a go later and report the results. If it does look better and has that feature then I guess it can help me deal better with this issue until Froyo comes out. :O
Anyone who has tried the Froyo beta for SGS willing to report if this issue really is resolved?
Thanks!!!
Still here
This issue is not resolved and is extremely irritating. Surely with all the Dev powar here this could be easily taken care of? I'd do it myself if I knew how...
Can someone please let us know how to stop SMS converting to MMS.
Handcent SMS works perfect for me when I need to type a long sms. But I hate that app and would love to stick to the standard one.
I am also irritated by this problem and could not find a way to deal with it other than dividing it manually; I am running on Froyo and it's there, very frustrating.

I also started using Handcent to deal with this issue and I'm very happy with it.
I find it very much like the stock application.
Its not really an andriod problem but a messaging application problem from samsung
Same here in Slovenia...my recipients also get the “broken message“ text sometimes,folowed by another sms with the txt ive written.
I also hate that if the reception is poor and u cant send an sms or mms, the phone wont retry sending when the reception is back... What gives,dammit?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Did anybody found solution for that?
MindFever, I'm also from Slovenia. Did you have problems with sending mms? It wont sent to Croatia numbers, and sometimes it won't sent to anybody or recieve it from others
Hi I have this very frustrating conversion problem also, handcent is a waste of time. so is orange (my network) they are aware of the problem but say that there is a fix on the way from android but noone knows when!!!!!!! anyone help in the meantime?
Hello!
I too have this very problem on my phone (running Darky's RC4). I don't want to use any 3rd-party application to solve this issue like handcent or chop. Is there a mod or a fix that I could use to fix this problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Same for Galaxy Tab
Hi guys,
I have a galaxy tab and the same problem, checked under froyo and gingerbread. I thinks that in fact it is a Samsung problem and not android. It's just the messaging app that sucks. Waiting for samsung to fix it, I tried handcent and it's ok.
check the modified version here

Hi everyone,
I've got a strange problem and was wondering if any other forum members have seen it or have been able to come up with a fix. This is my problem:
1)Recently upgraded to Froyo
2)When replying long email threads with multiple recipients on Gmail, the program will automatically at "re" to the beginning of the subject. After replying multiple times, the email subject would like something like "rerererererererere"
3)This is a problem because it stuffs up everyone else on the recipient list who are not using Gmail as programs like outlook are unable to sort the emails properly.
4)This problem existed on Eclair and I thought Froyo would solve my problems but it doesn't.
I have searched these forums for over 1 month to find a solution and yet no one has reported this problem. I find that hard to believe as I'm fairly certain this wouldn't be limited to just my galaxy s.
Please contribute anyway you can and all help is appreciated.
It would be great if there was a fix for this as its really annoying having to manually delete all those RE. Problem is, they are a standard feature in almost all email apps when using the Reply feature..
I have pictures related to my Contacts. At one time if a Contact sent me a Message when Handcent popped up the Picture of the Contact appeared in Handcent area. I notice now that not happening is there a way to get this feature back? Handcent has been updated a few times and that may have caused it. Thanks for any help

I don't know if this was the right sub-forum to ask this in, if not, please move it.
Using Textra and contact pics won't appear on the Active Display screen when holding down to read the notification. I've been going back and forth with Textra developers for the last 2 weeks for a fix and they just gave up on trying to fix it. They sent me 5 test updates to install to try to fix this notification problem with their app, but no matter what they did, contact pictures just will not show up on the AD screen like it does with FB or another texting app like Hangouts and what some people tell me, EvolveSMS.
I really don't want to get rid of Textra, because other than this, it's a great app. Does anyone know of THE fix for this problem for texting apps? What other texting app developers did for the one you're using where contact pics show up on AD? There has to be some common piece of code that needs to be implemented that texting apps it does work for used, I don't know, something I can tell them to do. Anyone here an app developer...or...know someone that made a texting app where this works? Someone told me to ask the EvolveSMS team what they did and if they can help out Textra, but I don't know how to word me asking them to help out their competition, why would anyone agree to that? Y'know?
I don't know, any help- a picture of your AD screen with contact pics with the app name you use, information if you're a developer, if you know something about this whole deal, if you could get information to convey to Textra, anything. Thanks.
