I could have sworn that when I first used the sms widget it prompted me what application I wanted to use for the buttons, compose msg mainly. I can't seem to make it work with handcent sms, even after clearing default programs in application manager. Anyone have any ideas?
Its never asked me what application I wanted to use it with... sorry I'm of no help...
Hey guys,
I just recently got my HTC hero and I have a question about the messaging app. First of all, I am currently using Handcent mainly because if you use the stock app, texts always show up on the lock screen even if you are using the pattern lock. That is annoying, and I don't understand what the point of the pattern lock is if you can just see my texts without having to even unlock my phone...anyway, so I am using handcent and it's fine. I've made sure to remove notifications on the stock app so that I don't get double notifications, but my question is: is there a way to delete the stock app? I mean is the phone going to slow down since it is getting texts from 2 apps, does that make sense? Even though the notifications are disabled for the stock app, the texts still go there and they are also going to handcent...So basically i would like to know if:
1. i can delete the stock app (i have rooted my phone so...)
2. does it matter that the phone is pulling texts to two different apps
3. is there a way to make my texts not go to my lock screen, if so i would just not use handcent
Finally, on handcent, i will oftentimes get a text twice from people. does anyone have this problem?
Ok tahnks!
1. Don't delete the stock messaging app.
2. From what I've read on these forums, Handcent basically gets texts from the stock messaging app to get texts. Your phone isn't really doing twice the amount of work.
3. Hmm, I use handcent, and I disabled notifications on the stock app, and I don't see any texts from the stock app on my lock screen.
I also get texts twice once in a while. I think it has something to do with scrolling down the conversation window while the text is being received... not sure, but that's what I noticed.

Look at handcent as a theme for ur stock text app.
Deleting stock would make text not work.
No way to turn that off in stock text for the lockscreen
Dbl text is the carrier at times. It happens. No way to stop it.
My experience is different, I deleted the stock app (mms.apk) and my text work just fine. As long you as you remembered to turn on auto retrieve in your handcent's setting under "Receive message settings". It has been working for me without any issue.
Handcent and Google Voice don't play well with one another. Handcent won't display my Google Voice number despite what the Google Voice settings say. It also behaves... oddly for me. I really wish it would work the way I want it to, though. Hot damn, is it pretty. I love the interface and the customization options. I just hate the fact that it won't play nice with Google Voice. So... ugly texting through my preferred number, it is!
Have you tried chomp sms? Similar look, not as customizable, but may play better with gv

I have tried Chomp. But, as far as I can tell, when not sending from the Google Voice application, it tells people that it came from my cell number, not my Google Voice number. The whole point of Google Voice, at least for me, is to have one number forever, not switch between them.
hi mates. thanks for reading this. i did a search but it showed no results on this.
i am a first timer nook person and i installed the latest cm7 nightly on my sd card and was able to get it working on the nook. a few questions please as i have never used android before.
1. i set up my mail through the mail app and it works but it doesn't show threading. i have gmail and it only shows single messages instead of grouping. is this normal?
2. i want to use my google voice number to set up text messaging but cannot find where to input this.
3. there are apps and management tabs for phone, voice dialer, etc. things i will never use. can i remove them?
thanks!
figured it out, didn't install gapps.
Hello,
I have the ATT Galaxy Note and use it as my pager via text messaging. I would like to have text messages, with phone numbers, appear and stay on the lock/home screen when they come in until I look at them or reply to them. Is this possible to do with the Note? I don't want to have to unlock the phone and drill down into the apps every time I get a text to be able to respond to it. I was able to do this with my iPhone.
Thank you.
On my non-password lock screen I get a missed call & new SMS notice circle. holding and dragging that opens the relevant app. I cannot recall if I get this when I have a password set. I use Llama to set / unset the password depending on location so I don't need to unlock while at home or at work.
I also use SMS Pro from the Go Launcher Pro suite (although I do not use the launcher). It pops up a window with my latest SMS and lets me answer, delete, open or just close it.
I use the stock widget showing me emails. I cannot set that to unread ones only, and the colour difference of unread emails is not enough, but it's kind of OK.
That gives me all I need.
This forum is for the international galaxy note not the i717.

apps like handcent sms, pansi sms (not a bad app, was testing it today) or go sms allows you to achieve what you wish to do.
if you're talking about the full monty, including emails, etc, you could try Executive Assistant. This has more powerful features including lock screen information. be warned however if you use a passcode lock this will not work
I want an app for securing selected sms threads.. GO sms privacy box worked well for months for me but lately, when I get a message from the selected contact, it shows in go sms privacy box as well as my default messaging app's inbox( yeah i used go sms just for privacy box feature)
Although I found many apps on play store with similar use but I wanted the functionality of manually locking(ie it locks the box oly when i select to, which was there in go sms) which is missing in most of them,
can anybody suggest some good app for the same?
hope you guys get me, my eng is poor.
