You can turn off notifications via going into the stock "text messaging" app through your apps list and then go into "messaging settings" and uncheck the "notifications - status bar" button.
Then you will only have your new text msg app notifying you.

It still shows up in the new messaging app.

You can delete it from /system/app via root-explorer or adb Or you can uninstall it using TitaniumBackup.

download the app rootuninstaller.
and then uninstall it.

I tried to use system app remover to remove messaging. I still get double texts in my vanilla message app.

last time i had this problem (double sms received). i re-flashed the rom.
btw, i wouldn't remove the stock messaging app through, i think the 3rd party sms apps actually use the system one for the actual work, they're more of a "front-end". just disable the notifications should be fine.
if you install another sms app and now actually receiving double sms (not just the notification), i think there's something else wrong...

Built-in messaging app: uninstall/hide?

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.

+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?

Why would you need a third party app when the stock app can do the job?

3rd party apps usually have features not found in the stock app. Go sms pro for example, has many themes and a private box which filters messages from selected contacts and requires a password to access.

Yes I need, because the stock app, have a option to request a report of a successful message sent, but, he does a notification when you receive the report, Most app just put a sign in the message, indicating that was successful sent.
I Tried another applications like Message + and Go Sms Pro, but they always sent using SIM Card 1.

Go sms support dual sim
for those who come here from google search.
Now Go SMS pro does support dual sim phone, include grand. I dont really like go sms, but it seems go sms the only app does the function

Handcent as default SMS app

Set Handcent as default SMS application not working. When I set in setting as default, It only takes a moment and returned back. SMS goes only to the stock app and Handcent does not work.

On which Rom are you ?

B513, but it happens also on B511 and I think maybe on B510 too.

You try to define handcent by default in hancent settings or in the settings > Network > default SMS app ? You can also desactivate SMS app in settings > applications > all > SMS

yes I set it everywhere, but it only lasts a moment

See if your application need an update or try to unistall others sms third-party app or reinstall Handcent
It's probably a problem with the application try another cool sms app like Hello or EvolveSms or send an email to the dev and discribe the problem maybe it's an incompatibility with KitKat but I tried to install it on my p6 (ParanoidAndroid 4.4.4) it work when i change to handcent in phone settings
My version of Handcent is 6.0.5
If you think it's a Rom problem (during the update to KitKat for exemple) and you have this issue with any other Sms third-party app try a Factory Reset (Backup your Data before)

With originál android handcent works perfectly, problem is only with huawei B5xx. Factory reset doesnt solve this issue.
Solved: Handcent was disabled in huawei startupmanager.

Use hangouts and led notifications

I like to use hangouts but it appears that the notification led for missed messages only works with the stock sms app. Is there a fix for this without installing a third party app? Thanks.
