Hi all, in kit kat network setting it has a setting to choose a default sms app, but is there any way for it not to launch by default?
for example, i amusing exdialer contact where i can swipe left for text and right for call and i want the default launch for swipe right is whatsapp.
However, when i set whatsapp as always, a few hour later it will revert back to sms app that were set in the network setting.
Hence, is there anyway to disable the the default sms lanuch by default or a way to make whatsapp as default only for my dialer?

Is there a way to setup an mp3 for email and another one for SMS?
yea of course! you set the notification in the specific app. so to set email, go to the email app, hit menu and go to settings and change it. same for sms/mms. open up the text app, then go to menu and settings and you can change it there. this is how you set notifications for any app in android if they have notification options.
I could not find this setting in k-9.
I want to add a custom ringtone to my handcent sms messaging app so that when i recieve a text it plays what i want it to play.. but i went to notification settings and it wont let me select anything i want to select only the default selections.. can anyone help???
Handcent doesn't support custom tones?
in Handcent under settings<notification settings < notification sound , there is no option to select an "other..." tone... however I can't remember if you make a really short tone if it will show up on that menu...
Hi there,
Can someone tell me how I change the default app that is used to open text messages?
When I downloaded ChompSMS, I chose that as the default app, but I'd like to change that to Handcent SMS.
Thanks very much,
Menu>settings>applications>manage applications>chompsms then select the clear defaults button
Thanks very much - so how do I go about setting a new default?
the next time you open a message or anything related to messaging, your sammy will ask which app you want to use.. just check the "use by default for this action"

You see, that's what I hoped too.
But I've tried clicking on the Messaging icon and not getting a pop up box. It's just opening up in the standard app.
nope.. not the messaging icon.. because that messaging icon is a shortcut for the built in messaging app..
it must be a messaging "action" like clicking on a "send sms" button on the phonebook...
and also.. if you are referring on the messaging icon on 4 icons at the bottom, you must replace the default messaging icon (shortcut) with the handcent icon..
^instructions: click the applications icon -> menu -> edit -> drag the handcent icon/shortcut to replace the default messaging icon/shortcut
Ah ok, that makes sense. Think I've got it now ... cheers
One last question - is there a way of reverting the icon used for 'Messaging' to its default state?
you mean returning the default messaging shortcut at the bottom? yes you can, you'll notice that when you've replaced it with the handcent shortcut, the default messaging shortcut went to the applications menu. just do the same instructions to replace the handcent shortcut with the default shortcut..
since you'll be using handcent, disable the notifications of the default messaging app & use handcent's notification..
How can I disable notifications on the original notifications? I dont have any...please see my attached pictures...after settings, there is no notification settings for me to uncheck...ive transferred Handcent to the 4 main home button on the menu. but on the original messenger on the applications where i transfered it, it still has a number that its still receiving messages
curious tho. i've tried to drag the handcent app over the messaging app, once in the "applications" page. and it does nothing but let me throw it away..i desperately want to change the "messaging app" also one of the 4 apps at bottom, and make it the handcent. please help! thanks

If you don't see the Edit icon when you click the menu button, make sure you select Customizable List, then Menu, and you'll see the Edit button. Now drag the new icon the the menu bar.

Hi there.
I have one problem with my LG Black, i've got installed NOVA V7 ROM and from market I install Handcent SMS and set is as a default SMS app. I uncheck in oryginal android sms application option "notifications" and now i got only one notification on my statusbar when I get a sms and thats all right, but when someone send me message i get on lockscreen notification that i've got 1 message and when i tap on this notofication and slide down it goes to the oryginal android sms app. This is very annoying becauce after i get sms I got 2 notifications, one from Handcent SMS on my statusbar and the other one from oryginal SMS app on my lockscreen, and if i go to the Handcend and i read the message this one dissapear but the second one (from SMS/MMS app) is still on my lockscreen.
In a nutshell: When i get sms i have to go to the 2 sms app because i get 2 notifications, one from handcent and one from stock sms application.
My question is: how to change this slide down opption to handcent sms or if I can't do this, how to delete this option ?
Thanks a lot for help.
If you're not madly in love with the default lockscreen you can find out there some pretty alternatives and that should solve your 2 notifications problem. I used to have that problem too but I simply changed to widgetlocker which, btw, it's more powerful and customisable and you can have whatever lockscreen you want, without those 2 notifications. If you are rooted you could also delete the sms app but i'm not sure about that. Linking it to handcent or go sms or anything i don't think it's going to work.
For double notification message on status bar, you can disable notification from stock messaging settings.
And for notification message on lock screen, it's build with stock messaging, and there's no clue yet how to disable it.

Hey, I have solved this problem. But don't know which app killed it. I have "autostarts" and "no lock". I think it's autostarts. But mind you, it is an anvanced application.
On option "When SMS Received" you'd see both, Messaging and Handcent. So tap Messaging and disable it. "After Startup" option, disable Messaging as well. You could disable Messaging as well or other unnecessary apps that autostart on other options. Like Gallery, Music etc. HTH

Autostarts app. Not on the phone itself. You have to download the app.
Autostarts by Michael Elsdorfer. Find it on the market.

Any idea how to disable integrated SMS messaging app? Its somehow bugged and when using Hangouts as default SMS app, it still shows icon badges with new messages count. So even when I read SMS in Hangouts, it still shows count on app icon. And even when you open msg in internal app, it doesnt mark it as read, so count doesnt disappear.
Edit seems like quite problem, because sms app is integrated to dialer/phone app. So its not shown anywhere in system separately, so I cant controll what it does. And it doesnt allow to disable notification numbers on icon...

this problem is solved in actuall hangouts settings..
Check it or replace default messaging app in settings..
Got latest hangouts, its default SMS app. Done this one first.
But still messages goes also to internal SMS app and as they arrive, they are marked unread regardless what I do in Hangouts. So MSG app shows icon badge. Only way is to delete SMS in Hangouts, then they disappear from internal app.
Pinch the home screen and pick More Settings, then find Badge app icons. You should be able to turn them off from there.

Switched to nova launcher because of this, works fine too [emoji1]
Nova is my favorite and beats the EMUI IOS launcher, I must have an app drawer.
I cannot change the default message app at all
Like the title says I don't even have the menu item in Settings to do so.
I have downloaded 8sms and Textra but neither of these or Hangouts will successfully change from the default app. All can read my texts and the text history but I cannot send. I am tired of the default app which I think is poor and also the Android emojis which I cannot figure out.
Regarding emojis I've tried downloading different font and keyboards with iPhone/twitter/Samsung/Whatsapp style emojis but they are all changed into android ones in the actual messages
I have an L09 running Nova launcher with build B145.
Please tell me someone has a trick...
THANK YOU

I disabled the badge icons some time ago when I found the possibility of doing so by chance... now wanted to enable again and I couldn't find WHERE I had done that!
Thank you
