Possible to link HTC SMS widget to another SMS app? (chomp?)

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.

Messaging app?

any other good messaging apps worth looking at besides handcent and chomp?

[Q] [REQ] SMS unread widget to open GO SMS

I am using the SMS unread count widget and i like this app a lot. but i would prefer to launch either GO sms or handcent sms whenever i launch the app, instead of launching the stock SMS.
I've tried to clear default from stock SMS but there is still no option for me to select the program which i like to set as default.
any idea on this??

use go launcher ex and this get go launcher ex notifier, just seems like a very easy way to do what u want the way u say u would like it and it seems the 2 would compliment one another as well.

i want to know as well... i tried to clear the default app but strange thing is for stock Messaging "default" is greyed. so i can't even clear it..but i would like to open GoSms through sms unread count :s

Anyone? Use SMS Count to open Go SMS so we can get an SMS counter on Widgetlocker screen, but use Go SMS as primary SMS.

Having the exact same problem... Also tried Missed it, but the same thing happens...

Seems this widget has other issues if you read the reviews. I have handcent and it has its own widget that does basically the same thing I believe. Just shows the icon with a number of unread messages? I am betting Go SMS has its own widget too but wouldn't know as I don't use it.

True, I use Go SMS, and its widget, but I'd prefer SMS Unread Count for its ability to pick any icon... The Go SMS widget has a choice of three integrated icons which I'm not really fond of...

[Q] Best SMS/MMS app to oxygen rom?

What app do you recommend?

Go Sms Pro

GO SMS Pro: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jb.gosms&feature=search_result
SMS backup/restore built in!

Installed it now (GO SMS PRO) and follow the instructions to disable the standard sms app but I still get sms / mms in both apps.
How do you solve it?

disable notifications manually in standard app should be enough. try reboot.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
got the same problem.. thanks for that.

Actually never tried go sms, will do, but handcent sms works like a charm too, especially when you're writing with greek characters and want 160 characters per sms and no 70...

Handcent SMS
I used Handcent for a long time and it's very good and has the best feature: quick reply window.

another vote for handcent here
i had both handcent and go sms installed, at the same time for a couple of weeks, to get a good comparison...
go sms is good, but i like handcent better!
i still haven´t tried chomp sms though...

+ 1 for Handcent
You could 'freeze' the default messaging app using Titanium.

i also used both. both have cool features. not so much difference between them but i prefer handcent.

[Q] How do i change the Messages Stock App?

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.
