Disable notifications?? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi everyone,
How can I disable notifications (at the top of the screen) for the "What's app" app? There are no setting within the app to disable notifications. Any thoughts? Is there an app to help me disable certain notifications that I don't know about?
Thanks!

You could I uninstall for free that app using titanium backup

[Q] Help Un-installing regular message tool

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.

No dont uninstall it, it will break things.

[Q] getting rid of the app "messaging"

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.

Completely remove text messaging

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...

[Q] Stupid Question.. I need help on

Stock Note 2.. up to date..
for some reason I cannot find my email Icon. I just started a new job and we have to use exchange. I set up the email account via Sync accounts..
Now here is the kicker.. I cannot find the EMAIL icon in any grid to place it on my home screen. I looked into Settings... App Manger.. All and there is an icon there for it. .But for the life of me I cannot find it anywhere to add it to my home screen for easy access..
Anyone know how to magically make the icon reappear on my phone with out having to do a wipe?

I assume you are on the TW stock launcher? If so, try this: touch and hold empty space on home screen... select "Apps and widgets".... under Apps tab, select "Email". There's also an Email widget on the Widgets tab
The widget works.. but I am just looking for the email Icon.. I cannot find that little guy any where..
Is it hidden or disabled

Go to your app drawer then tap your menu soft key. The show hidden apps is at the bottom of the list.
There are no apps currently hidden... it never showed up in the app drawer this way. ..

If you can set up your email and you have a widget that works I sure do not see how you could have lost your email icon. Did you tuck it away in a folder? Post screen shots of all your app drawer pages if you do not mind.
Here you go.

That is weird. The only odd thing I noticed was that you have two gallery icons. The only thing that looks like email appears to be Microsoft's icon. Are you running any icon packs.
Everything is stock. ..no packs what so ever.

If you're rooted, go to /system/app folder and see if you have "SecEmail.apk" or "SecExchange.apk". If you do, you can try reinstalling the apks. If not, you need them. Easy to root if you're not.
Not rooted.... still can't figure it out. .. The icon does show up for ways to share attschments etc. ..

Install a file explorer that will allow you to get to /system/apps then tap on your SecEmail.apk, you will have to enable unknown sources, it should try to install the email apk. I do not know for sure if it will install or not and it may not even help. Reset your security setting for unknown sources if you want afterwards if you like. I have heard that some Samsung apks cannot be installed after initial boot.
It starts the install...but it does not complete it. I have astro by the way.
