Can I delete the default messaging app off of my nexus one?

I use handcent and I'm sick of getting 2 notifications everytime I get a message so I wanna delete the default messaging app

Just go into settings on the stock messgaing app and turn off notifications.

But I want it gone like forever

What for? Why does it bother you? It doesn't take app space.
You can't do it without root, anyway.

Does Handcent rely on the stock app for info or would it work as a standalone?
Anyways, disabling notifications from your messaging app can be confusing the first time. First you'll have to hit menu>more>show all threads. When you are on all the all threads screen you hit menu then preferences (settings) and all the way towards the bottom, uncheck notification.

i was thinking handcent relies on the stock messenger app, but i am not sure any more.. it could be stand alone, best way to find out is pull the stock messenger app from system/app then do a remove and test.. if get FC or wierd problems jus push the apk back in and reboot!

Question about the messaging app

Is there a way i could put the vanilla messaging app on here not the samsung messaging app?? I'm rooted and i was just wondering if i can get the default mesaging app instead of samsung because i like the default better

Have you tried handcent? Its pretty cool once you get it all set up the way you like it. Look for it in the market

I've tried that already... I like it but i dont like how you get 2 notifications...How do u cut off the notification for the original message app??

In the setting of the Messaging app hot menu then click setting scroll down to the notifications section. Uncheck the checkbox that says Notifications. I did it when I tried Handcent.

Same, I just started using Handcent and its fantastic. I love the pop up notification similar to an iPhone, but you can do a quick reply from it without opening the app. Great features,skins, etc. VERY customizable.

I started using Handcent as an alternative to the stock app because it doesn't pay attention to the carrier timestamps on text messages. My messages were getting screwed up because of Sprint and Verizon. I love the popup box with quick reply. It unlocks the phone and lets you reply, and then relocks right after you send the message.

Thanks all...I downloaded handcent and it's awesome. Lots of features, very nice!!!

Been using SMS Popup for a lil while. Isn't a separate app but lets you quick reply from anywhere, including the lock screen.

I started out using SMS Popup, but compared overall to Handcent, it's really featureless.

thx for handcent recommendation

there's also ChompSMS.. but it's not free :T .. I like Chomps widget :].. it also supports popup with quick reply. Handcent is great though but if for some reason you want to try something else. There's CHOMPSMS

I've used chomp for a while....and after using Handcent for an hour...its way better.
Granted, most of that hour was spent customizing the interface ...but the pop-up quick reply is way better. You have TONS more options for everything in Handcent.

The only thing about Handcent that irritated me was when using quick reply via rhe popup on my lockscreen,the keyboard frequently covered up the reply box. Haven't had that prob with chomp. Both are really good

try reinstalling handcent and make sure the option in handcent allows popups above lockscreen

After using both handcent and chomp, I stuck with handcent. Looked nicer, and I love the popup. Didn't see that option in chomp though. Is it only the paid version?

[Q] SMS notification reminder

Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know of a way to get the Captive to do a reminder that an unanswered SMS message has come in? My old phone would chime every 5 minutes until I read the message and this was kind of nice.
Thanks

check out an awesome app named handcent.

I should install that on my husband's Captivate. He NEVER checks his notifications and sometimes it goes days before he gets my texts.

Stock SMS app does not support this. Most have gone to 3rd party apps, most popular being Handcent.

Missed Reminder is a good app if you still want to use the stock SMS app.

Thank you, I'll give that a try.

handcent SMS has a option where if u didnt check the message u can set a reminder...i set mine to every 5 minutes

I use tasker and it works awesome!

That's what I use and it works great for SMS, MMS and Gmail. Only gripe is that it doesn't support regular e-mail.

Quick Compose via Handcent SMS

Hi, has anyone been able to get the home key long press remapped for the quick compose feature with handcent sms? With my older EVO 3D I was able to use the search button for that, but no luck with the HTC One. Hate having to open handcent and then click new to get a text out real quick.

I use chompSMS and quickcompose from notification bar. That will be so until someone comes up with another solution to map this kind of app to another button

Im also getting this dilemma. Probably ill just email the developer about this issue.

Yes, still waiting for an update that will incorporate quick compose similar to chomp that had it on the notification bar
