Doesn't a screenlock do the job?

Use Handcent SMS it will do the job for you...
@ hawks the screenlock does the purpose but I can't stop ppl from using my mobile but if I hv a sms lock atleast I can prevent them from sneaking in.
Does any have any app that can help me password protect my sms. And as well not degrade the performance.

If that's the case try handcent as sphuyal recommended

@hawk handcent is a entire new sms app. I want the same messaging app but once someone tries to open it he need to enter the password b4 proceeding. I have tried ( as I REM zdbox ) one but it slows down my DHD performance.

Handcent also enables a sms lock for the standard Message app from HTC. (and it probably does this for every app that can acces text messages)
When you want to open the standard message app with handcent installed (and a lock enabled), you will have to unlock it as well.
So you can just install it and disable notifications in handcent, so you won't notice handcent is installed and use it only for the lock system.

I've been searching all the menu's to no avail...
Go to each app and set the notifications from there. Don't know about the Facebook one. Don't really use it.

Can't find an option in the default mail app...?
I know apps like handcent u can use to lock but I need one that locks the normal messeging application. Also one that will stay locked when I use an app killer. Does anyone know one? Thanks

Anyone? Please

app protector
I use ChompSMS as my message app. It can look very stock and has plenty of features for locking messages. In regards to the app killer, just go in to the app killer menu and exclude your messanger.
Good luck

Use TextSecure.
Using app protectors or whatever is like locking a bank vault with a zip tie.
TextSecure is the real deal.
Try Shady SMS it only opens with a password from you dialer and stays secure
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...
Hi all,
Is there any good ROM like CoreDesireHD 5.2 which provide you with "Secure Message" option which allows you to protect your SMS and mms with password.
Thanks.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
im not sure about ROMs, but i use Seal, its kinda nice!
You can choose which programs you want it to lock with a password
Thanks for the suggestion. But I would like to secure just some of SMS in conversation list.

i'm using sabsa prime 11 on my dhd, I don't want to the turn the screen on when receive some sms for example, in others roms I can find it easly, but on this rom don't, please
Which SMS app are you using? This behaviour isn't there in the stock messaging app.

Should take a look at your sms app - gosms and handcent sms for example have this option to turn on screen when a message arrives. Gosms has this option enabled and handcent sms not (as far as I know) - take a look at whatever app you're using, if you're using an alternative app other than the stock one, might be an option
If you use the stock app try SMS WakeUp on the play store, works like a charm
The Corner approves..
The Thanks button ain't gonna push itself!
Thanks to all guys, but I think the problem isn't with the sms app, I'm using the HTC sense default app, the problem is with any type of notification
