I love the SMS widget but I never use it because I don't like the default htc/hero sms app. I prefer chomp and sometimes handescent. Is it possible to link the sms widget to another sms app so when I tap on it, it opens another app and not the default one?
Only when you click the actual message and not the icon to list all conversations.
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.

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 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.
Hey guys I have a question
Is there any way to add group messaging to stock app or do I have to use third party apps like go sms pro?
I wouldn't mind doing that if it wasn't for the fact that go sms pro doesn't show you notification on a lock screen like the stock app does.
Just got my watch today. Love it so far. Have a question though. When I Swipe left to go to apps, I can scroll and see hangouts and look though all text conversations. BUT I can not see default google messenger and can't see whatsapp on the app list.
I am getting notifications but I can't open the actual apps to see history conversations. What am I missing?
That's correct. Apps like Whatsapp, Facebook messenger or Google messenger do not provide an app which you can start from the app drawer on the watch. They only open on notification and provide limited possibilities for interaction.
There is a 3rd party app that will provide more possibilities though.

I would swear I saw what's app and google messenger on the app list while watching tons of YouTube videos.
So, I can't rely start a whatsapp conversation then. Just reply? I don't think I want to install a 3rd party app. Just wondering.

Well you can in fact start a whatsapp conversation by voice command "Ok google send whatsapp message to ....". I don't use the google messenger, but I guess it will work as well by voice command.
But there is no app icon available to start a conversation (yet).
