Everything I read about handcent sounds awesome compared to the stock sms app -
My only issue is, it displays my text messages on my screen even when my screen is locked - this is no good!
I am running CM6 RC1 rom, so it has a good screen lock with a pin number to unlock it - the stock sms app just shows an icon in the task bar, where as handcent displays your message for all eyes to see -
Am I missing some real basic setting?
Sorry guys! I REALLY should have played around with it a lot more before jumping the gun and posting my question about it! I played around with it and found it -- so please disregard this post!
Glad you got it figured out

There is their forum, you might have better luck asking Handcent related questions there.

please excuse my ignorance i tried searching and found nothing but what exactly is the black list all about. i see it starting to pop up in recent roms phone.apk's and i use handcent sms (awesome app btw) and its an option. i haven't tried it because i just have the thought that it will get rid of something i dont want to.
thanks
ive recently switched from handcent to go sms and while i like it a lot more overall the only notification icons it come with look really bad.
is there any way to use handcent icons for text notifications instead?

When I recieve/send a long text it will only show the first few lines and 'more...'
and I have to click on that individual message in order to read the whole thing. It's really hard to read a series of old, longer texts bc when I hit the back button to go back to the thread, it takes me to the most recent one and I have to scroll through to find where I was.
Can anyone tell me which roms have mms that displays the entire text message without having to click on it?
So far I found that only serendipity does. Are there any others? Looking to flash tonight if anyone can help thatd be great!
I use the chomp app from the market. Pretty sure you can customize it to show the whole message when you get it. Plus when the text appears on screen it will take you to that most recent message. I've used chomp on froyo and GB custom roms. Hope this helps

Is that similar to handcent? I'll check it out if I cant find a rom that has an mms with that feature.
Thanks!
My N7000 was becoming unusably slow so on a recommendation elsewhere, I installed CM. I was quite surprised at how basic some of the apps are & now have some specific issues.
I have lost the ability to scale text size in both messaging & email apps. Text size can be altered globally but making it big enough to read without glasses in text messages makes it unusable in general use. I've found an alternative messaging app but not email.
Colours in the calendar app are all rendered so dark as to be indistinguishable from each other. I can't find any options to change this like there was in the stock ROM.
So my question is can I somehow install the Samsung versions of these apps or do I have to trawl the Play store looking for alternatives? Or better still, is there a ROM that retains these features?
Hopefully this won't fall foul of the Best ROM rule!

Dunke.
Just installed it & in the process discovered that it supports pinch zooming. Never occurred to me to try the default mail app & that does too! But for some reason the messaging app doesn't but I've installed Big Text SMS that both gives me large text & TTS.
That's because cyanogen mod is based on AOSP and most apps do not have any value add or customizations to allow for what you need.

Still searching for a solution to the calendar colour issues. Changing the colour of a calendar on the device workd for milliseconds before it reverts to the very dark, indistinguishable colours. I really don't want to have to duplicate every app on the phone with one that works.
I'm also getting really annoying Mobile Broadcast messages every few minutes telling me which cell I'm connected to & can't find anywhere to switch them off. The N7000 section of Cyanogen's own forum seems to be a ghost town so no point posting there.
Edit
Now found the Cyanogen thread for the Note so will try there.
Hi all,
I'm new here and am hoping someone can help. I have a Galaxy S6 Active. Pretty much since day one, I have used a third party app for texting because I didn't like the limited choices for backgrounds in the stock app. I prefer dark backgrounds on my phone and the few standard backgrounds for messages are all white or light colored. Using the third party app has been fine, until yesterday. That's when I got my new Gear Sport smartwatch. Apparently, you can't have a third party texting app in use if you want to be able to text on your watch, so I ditched the third party app. I'm now left wondering if I just didn't look hard enough in the Galaxy Apps or somewhere else to find a darker setting for the stock messages app on the S6 Active. From the little bit of research I've managed, I've learned:
1. the stock messages app isn't the same across all of the S6/Active/Edge(+) phones.
2. the stock messages app isn't the same based on carriers.
Is there any hope for me?
Many thanks!
Install a different theme on your phone. Go to Settings/wallpaper and themes/Themes tab and find one you like. I have an ICS theme on my phone and texts show up with a dark background and white text.

Thanks loads!! It worked like a charm.
A follow up, seemingly related question: since switching to the stock Messaging app, there have been occasions when I have swiped the screen to respond to another notification or even when I have simply swiped to open the phone that the Messaging app automatically opens. I thought that it was because the icon was at the bottom of the screen and that I was somehow inadvertently opening it even though that's where it's always stayed since I got my first smartphone years ago. So I moved the icon and it still happens. It wouldn't be such a problem if it didn't also open up the texting thread of the same person every time. If it just opened to the list of conversations, it wouldn't be as annoying, but I don't want people to see my texts. I have a lot of nosey people in my life.
Thanks again!!
