no, the stock messaging app is needed for handcent to run.
Thank you it will stay

Deleting some stock apps have cost me lengthy time in recovery mode, leave em in for the ride.
Use titanium backup to freeze them. Out of sight, out of mind.

This is a bad idea as some stock apps are needed like the messaging app

yeah, all you can do is disable notifications for it. i just wish that i could hide/remove some of the apps from the "share" function, which i use quite a lot. i'd like to choose which apps are in that view, and in which order. i know its the same in sense 2.0, so we can only hope it comes in a later revision.

+1. I use Handcent as well. Go to stock messaging and disable notifications.

I've used cyanogen since my OG Droid days and delete mms.apk after I install handcent along with email (not gmail), protips, news and weather, car home, etc. Never had an issue.

I did this and tested it and mms can NOT be received. Fortunately I had a TI backup to restore mms.apk from, otherwise I would have had to reinstall CM...
You don't have to reinstall the rom just for one app.. its packaged in, just take mms.apk out of /system/app in the rom download and put it back into /system/app on your phone.

Is there any way to use this to replace your gallery in a custom sense rom? Like I would like to have it open that gallery when I click the little gallery icon in the camera app. Thanks

You should be able to go to settings/application/manage applications/Gallery.....and "clear defaults" in the launch by default
The next time you open it, it should ask you to select a default.
Haven't done it.....but that seems like the way it should be done.
Ya, I tried that... Its grayed out

Yea, I would like to know this also. I hate the stock gallery app. I would love to use the 3d app as default because it always asks me to choose es file explorer, 3d gallery, or htc gallery all the time in handcent sms.
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.

Has teamdouche ever thought of adding a pop up SMS option for their original mms.apk. I can't stand using handcent, GOsms, or chompsms. I think shift, toast and others in teamdouche, has done outstanding job bringing us CM7. This thought popped in head this morning. Thanks guys.

It would still be cool for it to be built in natively to CM7 no extra apps required. Thanks for that app though.

This Mms should have the call from messaging motion. I did not make or code this app. I made a cherry picked build and pulled this apk out to share. I'm not sure if it will work, but it should.
http://db.tt/KpssMp29
Installation:
Delete stock messaging app
push this app to your system/app folder and reboot.
Or you can flash this zip in recovery- thanks to Justin860

Yes you need to delete secmms first. I will add that to OP.
You will lose the lock screen notification.

App worked perfectly after I cycled the motion switch in the settings.

Is there anyway to add lock screen notification? Other than that, this messaging apk was awsome

Followed instructions in OP
Are any permission changes needed?
It lags badly when i attempt to go into the app, i'll hit the icon on my home screen and it will hang for a good second before opening
It also will not let me click on any existing message thread once i receive a message until i go and "compose" a new message to someone in the list, then have to back out and it will work
I also noticed that once I send a mms when i go to compose just a text it will re-insert the picture i JUST sent
Any one else with these issues?
I'm going to run fix permissions from CWM and also maybe reset the MMS app data and delete pre-exsisting messages from before the change from stock to the modded cm9 one
**EDIT**
I cleared app data for the messages app
Fixed Permissions in CWM
Wiped Cache and Dalvik
Deleted all existing messages
It appears to be working now, so just a heads up for anyone with my issues, try what i did and it should clear up

OK after running this over night it is clear that this does NOT function the same way as the stock motion, here is what I mean
I was curious how the motion detected that you wanted to call the contact, the stock motion requires the phone to be taken from texting orientation to talk orientation AND detects when your close to your ear with proximity sensor, it will not work if you just cover the proximity sensor, it actually requires the motion too...
This modded "motion" enabled messaging app only looks for proximity, so if you move your hand over the sensor when typing in landscape mode it will try to call the person
In real world use, with the stock app I never accidentally dialed anyone
With this modded app, I have over 15 accidental calls just last night alone
Also, it will work weather or not you have the "motion" for it toggled in the motion settings

I've been using the stock app for SMS messaging on my Nexus 4 for the last year. Am I missing out? Is there something better? If its better, why?
Thanks,

8sms download it on play store. It's almost the same as stock messaging app but with added features such as quick reply option by cm and inverted messaging ui.

Well first i think this is the wrong place to put this, but ok.
Second, you have a lot, try Go SMS pro or Textra sms, is cool.
In the last days i´m using mysms , is cool , and you can send sms via your pc.
But if anyone know any better than this ones please tell us

8sms ftw!
If I use any of these apps, does it alter any of your data? i.e. can I use it, stop using it and there messages are still there but default back to the stock app?
Try Hello from the Play Store.

8sms (Stock Messaging, KitKat) :highfive:
8sms hands down.
I used to flash that app which was then called as the Modded mms.apk. Now it is available even for unrooted users on the Play Store. Amazing app.
Handcent SMS is great, fully customizable

Does 8sms have regular green android Smileys?

Yes, afaik, you just have to install the new msg app and they will carry over the data. Unless you cleaned flashed your rom then you'll have to back up the xml. But you can do that with Titanium Backup or any other messaging backup app.

Not sure where you live, but SMS is the primary messaging tool in the US. Carrier agnostic, preloaded on every phone, and generally available in no-cost unlimited plans.
