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.

Hi all, I use ChompSMS for my messaging, and was wondering if I could use titanium backup to remove the stock messaging app safely? Would I still retain MMS, etc?
If not, is there any way to hide it in the default SE UI? Some app/tool?
Think chomp is standalone, so I would day yes, you can uninstall/freeze it.

no chomp doesnmt offer sms or mms replacement. If you remove stock you wont recieve any texts. You can use handcent though and remove stock that will work fine thats what I got.
Go sms pro is bestone!!
And with this app you can uninstall stock sms app.

+1 for go sms
Thanks everyone. I tried GoSMS, but I really don't like their handling of blacklisted threads. I've been using Chomp for a long time so it's what I'm used to I guess.
I'll try freezing/uninstalling and see if things go haywire. I'll update the thread.
have you tried using handcent? They have excellent cutomization. But the bubbles are so ugly I hasve to use android theme style.
apps like backup Master?
The most popular are definetly Gosms and Handcent; but, apparently there was a trojan found in the most recent release of Gosms. I am currently using the stock messenger because of its simplicity (don't like a messy interface) and I want to change. Handcent and Gosms are both too complicated for me, sure I like options but not 1000+ options. What's a simple, fast, and good messenger app that uses very little ram (preferably less than stock). Yes I know, you don't need to worry about ram with android;however, I worry about it regardless.
I'm using stock for now. Hopefully go SMS fixes real or false positive Trojan. Handcent 4.0 suppose to be coming out guess I'll be trying that soon.

I used to use GoSMS on my HTC phones since stock HTC messaging looks like no one tried on it lol, but on this one I'm definitely sticking to the stock messaging app.
I personally prefer hand cent been using it since mytouch 3g days

I use ChompSMS. I tried Handcent and GoSMS. I didn't like them.
Anyone else have an issue with the stock messaging app -always- sending delivery report notifications, even which not checked in the menu settings?
Every message I send, comes back with another notification saying "Delivered"
Annoying, and I can't figure it out.
(Using Darkside Rom)
Are you guys able to use picture messaging on handcent sms? I deleted stock app cuz I never use it and after deleting stock sms app, MMS doesn't work on handcent sms
GoSMS. You can customize it to almost look like the ICS stock sms.

I prefer the cm7 stock with ics theme, its easy to do and it works great with spoofed SMS... why would you spend time customizing when you could just change the theme to look like ics???

I thought handcent uses their own mms settings... you should check the settings within handcent.
Whatsapp messenger... funny icons/no mms problems/sent via data so good for international/roaming.
Of course, the person your texting has to have it installed too...
i use handcent..fully customized ..different fonts and themes...many options with pop ups...i tried them all i keep going back to it..lol..

I'm using the stock messenger app. My favorite is handcent though. My past phones were all HTC's and a Dell Streak so I found a better one than those stock apps but I don't mind using the stock one. I will probably be looking into changing it though pretty soon.
The stock one is pretty cool.
I use handcent. I love stock ics messaging. I want it!

Looks cool and not bloated.
I have been using Handcent for years now. Simply because the customization of notifications. That way I usually mute the twitter updates that are forwarded to my phone, but when someone else msg me, I can hear the notification sounds.
Ok I brought this up on the discussion but I'm hoping this will garner more attention. I did the manual update for the ICS OTA and I noticed this bug. When trying to send a MMS message, it gets stuck on "sending". I'm not sure if there's an issue with receiving a message but I'm testing that right now. Text messages send and receive like normal. Also I wanted to point this out that I have not had this issue with any previous ICS roms including the FF18 leaks. Network Vision is currently being done in my neighborhood but right now I have excellent speeds and signal, usually when they work on the towers I roam.
Can anybody else test this out?
I had this issue on the final leak last week or so. Wouldn't send for anything. Text was fine

Discussion thread is talking about this a little more but seems it may be a network issue and not a s/w issue. Know the area I'm in is under NV work at the moment so it is in the realm of possibility.
I had problems sending on the FF18 leaks too. It affected both MMS and SMS on a couple different roms. Couldn't figure out how to fix it so I'm on an older leak now that I didn't have any problems with.
I thought I had the same issue, but my mms went thru after about 5 minutes each time.

What about MMS going to the top of the conversation instead of staying at the bottom like all recent/new messages? Has anyone had that issue?
I've had text messages hang at sending and failed many times on many ROMs. I've noticed that if I try sending a text over 160 characters it hangs and fails. I have taken the same text and split it into more than one message and they go thru. since using the option in the messenger app to automatically split messages containing more than 160 characters, I've had no issues sending.

I have seen this happen in the past as well. All texts stack in sequence unless you receive a picture or something. The picture is located at the beginning of that conversation.
I haven't figured out what causes that, but I haven't had that happen in a long time now. I had this issue the most while using handcent instead of the native messenger app.
I now use the native messenger app and have no other SMS apps installed, and haven't had this issue since adopting this new policy.

The bug that i have isn't with the mms, but whenever i try to uninstall an app, through APP info, it just hangs there, In GB most of the apps that im removing from FF18 now just takes waaay to long, and it just looks like its frozen, is this normal with ICS?.. or is this a bug?
only mod's i've done is DPI 160 and memory stick speed 2048 with RoomToolBox, and Titanium back up for the rest of the apps.
I've had this issue prior to update. I've been told by sprint it is a network/ google voice issue

If it's a system app, it may not uninstall on the FF18 ROM. I have had this happen using titanium to uninstall data apps too. When it happens I close out titanium and reopen it and it instantly uninstalls the apps I choose to in that session.

well its the Preloaded Nova 2 HD a system app? because i gives me the option to uninstall it from the applications menu withing the rom, and i was using titaniumbackup as my second tool, since regular uninstalling was functioning the way that i was mentioning.

That's odd... been uninstalling bloat to stock via TB on every ICS build, inc. FF18 and no problems here. But I do backup most apps first before removing.

Yes, Nova 2HD is a system app and FF18 build removed the ability to uninstall them from the application menu.

I also have been using TB on every GB and ICS and haven't had an issue with it. But i put it out there because I have read on other threads people complaining that they couldn't uninstall certain apps after FF18 update even using TB. I personally haven't experienced this on my phone.

Ya know it might not be a bad idea for people to start posting their location on the network too actually see if the network might be to blame. I'm in central Massachusetts and have been running these leaks since FF02 and never had any problems sending or receiving mms on 3g or WiFi. Can't say for 4g because it's not available here.

Hey all,
My stock messaging app is not working. As soon as the phone loads up, I get the message "Unfortunately, messaging has stopped.
Go SMS still works, but I want to get the stock app to work.
I could use anyone messaging APK and SecMMS odex...I suspect that busybox is what screwed this up...
Did you try clearing data on the stock messaging app?

Yes, no success. Seems like this is similar to the CSC issue plauging the Galaxy S3s...
I am going to try flashing the stock rom and seeing if that fixes it...looks like no one has the messaging APK
No success flashing the stock rom...
