I think that the stock messaging app on the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 is paintfully ugly.
I Think that Handcent SMS is better by far. But when i install Handcent i receive my sms from both apps (stock and Handcent).
Is it possible to stop the stock app from recieving my sms?
english is not my native language, so is not very good, sorry!
Thank you!
Open the stock messages app, and disable notifications in the settings menu. This will stop you from getting double notifications.
Is there a way to customize the Contact: SMS and Email Notifications within the Contacts application or is a 3rd app needed?
I know there is a section for Ringtone, but what about SMS and Email?
Im not sure even 3rd party apps can do it..

Email notifications come from Gmail or the Email app so custom notifications are not possible. I think Handcent SMS has the option to assign a contact a custom ringtone.
Ya, I was there was a way to have a custom sound for each notification. Email, text, etc...
For emails i dont think so, for text you can use a 3rdparty sms like gosms or handcent, or you can use ringo https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.electricpocket.ringo

It would be a bit of work but you could get Gmail label notifier and make labels for different contacts and then assign specific sounds to the labels.

How to Change tones
The phone is capable of doing it by itself without the need of a third party app, simply go into the app you wish to change the notification tone for example gmail.
1. Open app>menu button>more> then go into settings
2. Choose which account if you have multiple accounts or just select your account then go all the way to the bottom where it says labels to notify and choose your inbox. It's set to default by default which is the notification set generally in your phones settings.
3. Choose whatever notification tone you want, be it a custom one you added yourself into the notifications folder on your internal or sd card memory or ones that are on the phone by default and voila! You're set.
Example 2 SMS app (default since I use that one)
1. Open app (obviously)>menu button>settings
2. scroll all the way to the bottom and choose "select ringtone", it's set at default just like the default on gmail, changing this doesn't change your default, only changes the tone for sms app.
Have fun changing your notification tones to be able to differentiate different forms of mail, same method works for fb messenger etc, only app I haven't found a way to change the tone is yahoo mail, but that's unique so I have no need to change it.
Hope this helps.^_^
Can I customize message tone for a contact in HOX?
On stock ICS contacts go to specific contact and press menu->on popup menu U can choose ringtone for this contact.
Doesn't know with sense roms.
EDIT: Lol...forget it. This is for ringtones!
found it. you can do this through go sms pro
Is there any way to natively set custom text tones for specific contacts? I see an option for customized ringtones but having specific text tones would be vastly more useful for someone like me who mainly texts.
Thanks!
Is there a way to edit the options for the notifications from the stock email program to include "delete"?
