hi my friend has a htc desire, and when they receive an sms it shows the whole message on the lock screen....
is there a way to disable this?
Kind regards

You can "disable notifications", but that defeats the purpose.
I really can't remember a setting for "display content".
Bump?
on stock rom it is not possible.
if you would use for example RcMixS or InsertCoinS there is an option to use stock android lockscreen which doesnt show the message content.
other possibilieties are 3rd party messaging application like handcent or go sms. you can customize them the way you want

At first, i have some weird problems selecting Handcent as default messaging App at my Desire. (LeeDrOiD 2.3d and Stock RUU)
I have a Widget installed (SMS Unread Count) which displays my unread SMS on my Homescreen. In the Q&A of that Widget it says that if more than one messaging app is installed, it will ask me which one to use when i tap on the widget.
But that doesn't happen, it always starts the stock msg app.
Here's what i've done so far:
- Contacts -> Choose One -> Send SMS -> Set default dialog appears -> Set Handcent as default.
This works only if i'm in Contacs and select to send a SMS via Contacts App. Widget still launches stock msg app.
- Set notifications for both msg apps. As i received one, i got double notifications as intended. I selected the stock notification -> Set default dialog appears -> Set Handcent as default.
Works for Notifications, Handcent will get startet. Widget still launches stock msg app.
No i'm really confused and got no more idea what to do. As i tried another ROM without Sense (GingerVillain), all i had to do there was to tap the Widget and i was asked which msg app to start.
But that doesn't work on Sense ... please help me, this is really frustrating.
I guess just delete the stock message apk? It'll be / system/app/messaging.apk or something like that just adb or terminal on the phone need advise just pm me

You cannot delete stock message apk, if you do that you'll not be able to send or receive sms again

Applications- messages- menu- all unselected.

Works fine with my LeeDroid 2.3d
Un-select all.

Never mind, i figured it out what you wanted to say But that only disables double notification, which is not the problem. (i know ho to disable this)
The whole case is all about the fact that on Sense Roms the "SMS Unread Count" Widget won't launch the "set default app" dialog so i'm unable to choose which app should be default or not.
On other Roms, e.g. GingerVillain (No Sense) the set default dialog window appears as intended.
But i want that also on Sense

Why not just use the Handcent unread SMS widget? I use it and it's sweet.
I have just disabled everything else within the stock app - notifications etc - and replaced all the icons on my home screen and slide dock (Zeam Launcher) with either the handcent 1x1 widget or the handcent icon (can't have widget on the sliding dock)
If you use the Handcent 1x1 widget, you're guaranteed that it'll start Handcent every time!

Because SMS Unread Count is also able to be configured as an Unread Mail Widget and i want both Widgets to use the same Design. The Handcent SMS Widget isn't configurable and doesn't fit my personal desire.
Thats why i use this
Will bump this since I also have the exact same problem.
Any solution? Same issue running incredibly re-engineered.
Can't you just turn off notification in the messages app? That would make it appear like the default. You could also root and remove the default messages app.

As long as you have the app on your phone mem should be ok ... do not put it on your SD card !!...
No, to both of the guys above me. App is in phone storage, and its not the notifications that are the issue.
SMS Unread count gives me no option to launch the app of choice. It launches the stock messaging app, and all defaults have been cleared in 'manage apps'
Sorry, i didnt notice you were asking about the SMS unread count. I dont use that so i cant say how it works.
Have you tried:
Settings --> Applications --> Select "Stock messaging" app --> "Clear Defaults"
This will remove the Stock Messaging app as the default app for all chosen situations, if there are any. If there aren't, the button is greyed out and isn't the problem.

Tried that. Did not work.
Use "App Vault" and disable the stock message application..!
it can be done in one click without using any command..!!
I want to change the notification vibrate pattern so its not so long. I'm not talking about using a 3rd party app to change an sms vibrate pattern. I am looking for a way to change this at the base of the rom so any notification, whether it be for email or other apps like wordfeud, it will be my custom pattern. So if anyone knows what file I need to edit I would really appreciate it!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
can anyone please help me out with this? i tried looking thru the rom but couldn't really find which file i'm looking for...
does anyone know if it takes editing an xml? or maybe build.prop? or framework-res? i have chompsms custom vibrate pattern to what i want it to be but i would like my regular notifications (wordfeud, google voice, gmail, facebook, etc) to be the same as my chompsms custom vibrate pattern but without using a 3rd party app because those are usually limited to phone calls and sms notifications.
Not sure where this can be set in the ROM itself, but I do know you can use Tasker to vibrate any pattern you want whenever you have a new notification (along with other things). Not as clean a solution as being able to change the default vibrate pattern (and Tasker is a paid app), but if you can't find anything else, could be a solution...
try sms popup, it isnt anything like chomp or handcent simply because all it is notfication and a really simple popup window. you can set the vibrate pattern, change the blink rate of the LED and change the icon. its really nice and i think youll find it great. there isnt a different inbox like chomp. its free in the market
Check out "led me know".
It does a lot of what you've mentioned on a "per app" basis.

I am using the SMS unread count widget and i like this app a lot. but i would prefer to launch either GO sms or handcent sms whenever i launch the app, instead of launching the stock SMS.
I've tried to clear default from stock SMS but there is still no option for me to select the program which i like to set as default.
any idea on this??
use go launcher ex and this get go launcher ex notifier, just seems like a very easy way to do what u want the way u say u would like it and it seems the 2 would compliment one another as well.

i want to know as well... i tried to clear the default app but strange thing is for stock Messaging "default" is greyed. so i can't even clear it..but i would like to open GoSms through sms unread count :s
Anyone? Use SMS Count to open Go SMS so we can get an SMS counter on Widgetlocker screen, but use Go SMS as primary SMS.
Bump
Having the exact same problem... Also tried Missed it, but the same thing happens...
Seems this widget has other issues if you read the reviews. I have handcent and it has its own widget that does basically the same thing I believe. Just shows the icon with a number of unread messages? I am betting Go SMS has its own widget too but wouldn't know as I don't use it.
True, I use Go SMS, and its widget, but I'd prefer SMS Unread Count for its ability to pick any icon... The Go SMS widget has a choice of three integrated icons which I'm not really fond of...
I was a Inc 1 user and asked a few times for this but it was like no one understood what i was asking for. i was wondering if its possible or if a developer would take the challenge of altering the stock sms/mms apk so that a preview of the message doesnt show up in the notification bar. I know Go SMS and Handcent have the option of showing "new message recieved" instead of showing the text contents in a privacy setting but i would like to keep the stock messaging app. puhlease someone. it would be greatly appreciated....

not so sure what u mean, or if it's possible, why not try handcent or go sms? I know u want stock, but may be the only way,
If you go under Settings>Privacy, it gives you 1 or 2 options. I'm not so sure since I'm using newtoroot's Sense 3.5 ROM and that may or may not be different from what you're using. (yes, I'm advertising a Rom, and yes, you should totally go for this rom.)
Handcent SMS does this. You can disable the preview per contact or just in general. You would disable the notifications in your normal SMS app and then set it so that Handcent is the only app that does notifications for SMS and if you disable the preview feature, it will just say "XXX-XXX-XXXX text you" or something like that
I've used handcent and am currently go sms. Was just curious if there was a way to do it for the stock. Guess it cant be done.

I'm currently using the Synergy app and like it alot, except for the way the text messages are displayed. They are displayed the way the Iphone does. I liked the way the default HTC messaging app displayed them better. So is there a way to either change the way it displays the messages, or somehow install just the default HTC msging app?
I would have posted this in the synergy thread but I'm not allowed to post there till I have 10 posts. =/
