Remove SMS from Call Log? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

There was an app for my Captivate that would remove or hide SMS from the call log and eventually most chefs built that feature into their ROMs. I'd like to be able to do the same with my SGS3 but I can't find a simple app to do JUST that; I don't need to install some "secret" SMS app.
I understand if you go to the dialer and then Menu>View By you can add filters but it always reverts to "All Logs". I just don't want SMS showing up at all.
I'm stock and not rooted. Little help?

I wish I knew, but I'm bumping to help find out. This bugs me as well!

Don't think there's a way to do this without rooting and applying a mod (if there is one) or using a custom ROM. I know there are a few stock-based ROMs that advertise exactly this as a feature.

[Q] can someone tell me why cyanogen only sends mms at 1kb

Anyone? It seems no one will ever comment on the posts I make at their forums? I am testing cyanogen 7.1 out for a bit.
Some background info. Doubled wiped everything except sdcard. downloaded a fresh cyanogen 7.1 and flashed it. I have the GPS fix, and the gapps thing flashed with tiamat 4.0.8
So can someone tell me how to either fix this or why it does this?
This is a huge dealbreaker.. It compresses whatever photo i try to attach and it losses quality of the picture... I like the stock android and having to use handcent to send my mms seems like a *WTF* should i do this moment...
Apps like Handcent and Go SMS are better than the stock messaging app anyway. Why would you be willing to throw away the entire ROM over the messaging app when you can use more powerful messaging apps that don't compress the image AND have more customization options?
I've used stock CM, Handcent and Go SMS. By far my favorite one is Go SMS. Way better than the one that comes with CM.
I have used them both. I dislike them. Its just the feel. And the popups I just dislike the whole thing even after i messed with the settings to get rid of what i dont like. The options arent there and i do dislike them.. Also it wont send multiple split messages it freezes my ability top send messages and i need to reboot my phone....
And the Messaging app isn't the only issue.
Btw not my first or second time using CM either..

Huh? I don't get any pop ups whatsoever on mine. Not quite sure what you mean. And what options are you looking for? Out of all the ROMs I've tried CMseems to have the most flexibility and most customization options. What exactly are you looking for in a ROM? Handcent and Go SMS also provide more flexibility and customization options than the stock messaging app. Let me know what you're looking for and maybe I can point you toward a ROM that fits.

Its not that I'm looking for felxibility i just want to get my mms to stop sending at low resolutions.
It may be the user agent but every one of them makes me receive a pic at 8XX by ^XX resolutions..
I just want the stock one to have correct mms. And preferably a mms with a user agent for my phone or a equivalent phone. I have been searching for days and no one seems to post a fix. All the fixes seem to be for tmo for what i can find :/
Well I understand that you want your stock messaging app to work properly. However, I don't know a means to directly resolve the problem. Test with Handcent/Chomp SMS/Go SMS, reflash your ROM/kernel, update your radio, wimax, nv, etc., and if worse comes to worse....completely unroot your phone back to bone stock. Seems ridiculous that something that drastic is needed to fix your issue. But I did that as a last resort for my phone and it fixed my 2 month long SMS/MMS issue that I had been having.
Here OP try this. Is splits and the limit is big

Editing system apps

Hey guys.
Am trying to edit the stock Messages apk on my Desire Z so that pressing Enter on the hard keyboard actually sends the message rather than inserting a new line.
I've already found the "key number" for Enter (56) which was the easy part but don't know what to do next.
Am running Virtuous Unity 2.39 atm.
Ideas anyone?
I don't know what ROM you're running, but I know on CM7, in the SMS options, there is a selection for "Send on Enter" that does exactly this.

I found the easiest way was to replace the stock htc mms with vanilla mms apk, or use some third party one.
Although, if you can mod the htc one to support send on enter, I would very much like to use it

I can't replace the stock app with a vanilla app (CM7.0.3) as the Sense UI would throw a hissy fit and also texts appear in completely the wrong order so instead of "1-2-3-4-5" it would show up as "1-2-5-3-4", now IMAGINE that with the figures below and having to scroll back just to read the most recent one you received with your own ones in between. Ghostly Gingerbread SMS puts them in almost the correct order for me but I need to delete the texts I've already received.
Least busy day: 30~50
Average day: 120~140
Textravaganza (Busy day): 220~300
The keyboard and touchscreen take quite a beating so "Send on Enter" is essential for those "busy days". As for third-party apps, I prefer not to use one unless absolutely necessary.
I used to run vanilla mms on sense roms with no issue at all.
Here's a guide on how to do it.
Although I just built a flashable zip to replace it after flashing a sense rom. I can attach it here if you want to have a look at it, does some extra stuff too.

Looks promising, will have a look later.
Well, it works but when someone sends me a text message and it creates a new thread the app crashes. About 5 months ago I asked why it crashes when a new thread is created and was basically told "its a framework thing".
Use of CM7.x.xs messaging app is out-of-bounds.

[Q] Newbie Question about unlocking and rooting

I've been using my samsung GN for a month now and loving it. This is my first transition into the Android platform so please excuse my ignorance if my questions seem trivial.
I haven't unlocked or rooted my phone yet, but I'm itching to do so. I just had a few questions before I try it.
1. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe out my entire phone. I'm assuming this means it will similar to opening up a new phone. Since I've used this phone for a month now, I've put all my phone contacts in, including getting all the profile photos for my friends and contacts. Since I started a GMail account, can all this be recovered once gmail syncs back to the phone. I'm assuming this is for the calendar as well. Also is there a way to backup and restore anything else... ie txt messages, apps, settings, etc. I read somewhere something about titanium backup (can this be done the first time I unlock the bootloader?)
2. One of the main reasons why I want to unlock/root is to be able to put in some custom themes and icons. Am I correct to say this is only possible after I root the phone? Or can this be done on the stock unlocked form?
3. The other reason I want to do this is to see if there are any custom roms or kernels that can help with the UI interface to make it a bit more smooth and not as stuttery. (I know this is a debated discussion), however I came from the iphone and it is noticable and irritating to me (YMMV) Does anyone know of a custom kernel or ROM that will be able to improve on this?
Thank you for your help... I'm still somewhat hesitant to do the process. I'd just like to find out as much as I can before I try it.
You can change icons and launcher themes by using a custom launcher such as ADW or Go Launcher (the two with the most themes) but this will only change the icons of your apps. If you want to get into custom colors and buttons and such, you will need to root.
Gmail will sync all of your contacts back, but the pictures will be low resolution (unless they are your friends on G+) to fix this, you can redo the pictures by hand or download an app called Haxsync for facebook sync which I've found works fairly well.
You can download "SMS backup and restore" to back up and restore your texts.
Market will have your paid apps saved, but write a list of your free apps as market will not save those.
Also your settings such as wifi networks will be remembered.
And yes, custom kernels and roms will help with smoothness, promise
Josh, thanks a lot for the advice, I'll look into the apps before I start to unlock this puppy!!!

[Q] Any way to disable smileys in SMS?

Graphical emoticons are driving me crazy, I usually disable them on all my devices and softwares. I am shocked that can't be done in the stock SMS app
Any way to disable them? Like deleting them from the respective APK?
Not only are they ugly, but for example "*" is translated into something... I don't even know what....
Yes, I hate them so much I'm even willing to go for another SMS app just because of this...
Sounds like your gonna need root.

I'm always on!
Yes, I do have root, I'm running Leedroid ROM, but the stock SMS app just has no way to disable those annoying ogre-like somethings...
Would be nice if HTC adds smileys pack to HTC hub... And at this moment I'm not wish to root my device, because too much software issue on it and stock roms comes faster than any custom

[Q] CM10 Nightly and what Apps to use?

Hello all! I am currently running CM10 Nightly Sept 09 FC19 and was wondering what Apps people preferred to use for certain things.
Voice Mail - I found a post the other day that had the link for I believe Google Voice Mail. Anyways it made my voice mail work besides I get a text from 0916 every time. So I am open for any suggestions.
My Files - Other versions had something that would allow you to look at files on sd card. Maybe this does to and I am missing it. Anyways what do you prefer for this task?
Task Manager - Another one earlier versions had and I don't see an easy way to kill task or at least make sure programs are closed to try and preserver battery life. So what do you prefer?
Messaging - The stock messenger is ok, just takes some getting used to. Anything better out there that you have tried?
That is all I can think of for right now but if you have any other suggestions or programs that you can't live with out please let me know and I will be happy to try them out to.
Thanks ahead of time!
Do a little searching in the dev thread. You'll find a lot of suggestions for apps that address your concerns. However, my opinion:
The voicemail 9016 message is for Sprint's VVM. You can get a apk for it that supposedly works nicely. I don't mind the extra notification though, so GV is good for me.
For files, buy root explorer. It's worth every penny. If you want free, try ES file explorer.
You shouldn't need a task manager. JB does a pretty good job on its own. Plus, if you need just hit menu, manage apps, and select running apps.
Some people like goSMS for text. With the new quick text feature and not wanting to add another running process, I find the stock app to work very well. Especially since the MMS issues are fixed.
