I really want to use Handcent SMS as my primary messaging tool. Is there any way to disabled the regular messaging tool? I already tried un-installing the regular messaging tool but it doesn't let me. Since I installed Handcent sms I've been getting double of the same message. Any suggestion?
You don't need to uninstall it. Just open the stock app and press menu and disable incoming notifications.

thanks dglowe, it worked. I don't get the double messages anymore, but if its not to much to ask is it still possible to un-install it.
No dont uninstall it, it will break things.

Is it possible to delete the app "messaging" but not mess up being able to actually text?
Here is my scenario I use handcent to text and they have an option to blacklist (hide) messages from certain people. However the app "messaging" which comes with the phone still shows them! Can I get hide that app? I am have the epic experience with the emotionless beast on my phone.
I couldn't find the app in root explorer either to rename it!
Any ideas?
it's in your system/app directory it's called MMS.apk. you can back up and unistall it with sdx stock app uninstaller and see if everything still works ok. If you have any issues then you can just restore it.

I usd sdx stock app to remove the orignal one in order to put on an mms.apk that allows me to have a maximum 5M mms size. If i delete it after i just put it on wont it remove the feature?
I will try it in a bit anyways though and let you know the results
EDIT: It didn't work,by getting rid of it I can still sms but my mms is completely disabled which makes sense. Thanks anyways for the idea though
Any other suggestions please

I could have told you wouldn't be able to send or receive mms
Just use launcher puerto and hide the stock app on the draw. I believe theres other apps that do this also.

No the issue isn't getting double notifications. I need the app removed or hidden. The messages that I hide in handcent are still visible in messaging, thats the problem.
Use shadysms.

I'm currently running CM 6.1 and wanted to ask is there a way to disable the stock messaging? I'm currently using handcent and every time I receive an SMS I get 2 notifications in the notification bar. I tried to disable in stock message app but no luck and also tried Titanium Backup to uninstall which it does but yet it keeps popping up. Anyone know how to fix?
Thanks-
Unchecking notifications (in stock app settings) doesn't work? And also you must have s-off or r/w overlay for titanium backup to uninstall system apps.

Noooo don't uninstall the stock messaging app. Baddd nonono. Just disable the notifications for that app in its settings. Uninstalling mms.apk means you can't send or receive any messages at all, mms.apk IS the messaging function, not a frontend for it. Handcent is a frontend for mms, more or less. Without the backend, its nonfunctional, force closes everywhere, etc etc.

Also, fyi, if you longpress a system app there's a recovery exploit that uninstalls system apps, I used it before s off. But yeah don't remove mms.apk. all bad.

What files would i need to remove to completly remove/disable the stock text messaging app? I found a vanilla one i like very much and i keep getting double texts in both. D:<

You can turn off notifications via going into the stock "text messaging" app through your apps list and then go into "messaging settings" and uncheck the "notifications - status bar" button.
Then you will only have your new text msg app notifying you.
It still shows up in the new messaging app.

You can delete it from /system/app via root-explorer or adb Or you can uninstall it using TitaniumBackup.
download the app rootuninstaller.
and then uninstall it.
I tried to use system app remover to remove messaging. I still get double texts in my vanilla message app.

last time i had this problem (double sms received). i re-flashed the rom.
btw, i wouldn't remove the stock messaging app through, i think the 3rd party sms apps actually use the system one for the actual work, they're more of a "front-end". just disable the notifications should be fine.
if you install another sms app and now actually receiving double sms (not just the notification), i think there's something else wrong...
would there be away to make it when i get a text message that my screen lights up instead of just haveing the LED blinking.. i keep my phone on vibrate most the time and would really like my phone to light up when i have an incoming text..??
What SMS app are you using? I know Handcent and GoSMS both support this feature (only 2 3rd party apps I've used for SMS).

thanks...new to android...i cant believe they left this out of the stock android.
With "Tasker" and the "Secure Settings" plugin, I have set mine to disable the lockscreen, wake the phone and open straight to the sms app.
THANKS @refthemc, the SMSAWAKE is a simple and usefull app!

Can't you disable the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app in Application Manager in Settings?

I can, but the icon is still there
Call in to your voice mail on the dialer and delete the voice message. Press 7 while listening to the voice message. Once done then set up your preferred voice mail app. I use Google voice

I had this issue on the Galaxy S3 when I first got it with a phantom voicemail icon that never went away despite not having any voicemails. I solved it by getting someone to leave me another voicemail and then deleting it. Might work for you as well.
After disabling it as suggested before, reboot your phone.

Same thing happened on the s3. Call yourself from a different phone and leave a message then delete it from your phone.

Can't leave myself voicemail because I don't have voicemail activated.
Did try the reboot after disabling voicemail, still there.

You need to activate it and do the above, that's the only way.

Well if it's the visual voicemail notification that you're trying to make go away, then long press it in notification, and go to app info, and uncheck notifications. If it's the regular voicemail icon, I would say do the same, but looks like on stock that's tied to the phone.apk and stock doesn't seem to let you disable the notification. I'm not 100% sure on this but I think you can uncheck notifications on CM. Otherwise, yeah just setup voicemail leave a message, and then delete it.
I've tried the above method with no results? Anyone have any other ideas thanks ahead .
[edit] I've put this in the wrong spot I have an e4gt I would think the fix would be the same but I can't figure out how to delete my post sorry folks
clear phone data
on galaxy s7 edge with android 6.0 if you hold the notification until you get to "App Notification" then click on the "i" icon, once in the application info select storage. finally clear data
Root the phone and remove the app from your system......
