Hay guys, this is my first real post outside of a few comments or thanks here or there so Ill try and make it good.
My question is this, I recently downloaded handcent sms and I rather like it, however I find it frustrating to get two text announcent icons in my notification bar. Is there anyway to remove the stock alert that anyone knows of?
Turn off notifications in the Messages app menu.
Ooh Shibby! Thanks, I totally didnt even consider that >_<
Unread email counter doesnt work with adw launcher. I have tried adw notifier but it only helps on gmail and the other. Its only showing the icon without the counter. I'm using the stock email app and the counter shows just fine in touchwiz. Any know how I can fix this?
Thanks

Doesnt seem to be much in the way of replys on this forum
I have the same problem with Galaxy Tab
Hi,
Anybody figured out how to get the email counter with Adw launcher? I was getting this counter correctly with default Samsung Launcher but not with ADW.
Thanks

Searching ADW launcher you will find many people with the same complaint. IT just doesnt support it. I have seen reason ranging from they didnt build it that way too Android does not have an open DB connection for it.
No matter what the reason it sucks and the people using the "Stock" apps are screwed unless you get K-9 or us the gmail app itself (which I dont particularly like).
I have found that if you buy tasker you can make build a workaround with that and minimalistic text. But I did not like the way it did it. and it didnt give me a unread count option :\
Wish I could be more help
Thanks,

PS I use a droid incredible.
Anyone else's GO SMS not showing the sender's name for text messages, just the #? No issues until ICS.
To add to that ive got a gosms notification in my top bar to say ive got a new message. I can see the first few words of the message but when i click on it i cant see the text (i just get the text box to reply) and it doesnt exist in the stock sms app either.
I have this problem as well, also custom themes do not work at all. I've abandoned gosms for handcent for now at least. It's too bad the ICS theme for gosms looks so great too!
i have this aswell, i thought it was just me. Hopefully it will be updated soon.
Yeah - I had the same problem. I've switched to stock Messaging app and SMS Popup out of necessity, but now that I know Handcent works I might try that.
Newbie question, but what advantages do 3rd party SMS apps over the stock app.

Different themes, pop-up notifications with the ability to reply, just far more control in general.

Think iPhone vs. Android in terms of the amount of control one has.

The big feature is SMS pop up - it's super nice. SMS pop up doesn't remove the text from the notification bar, but it does mark it read, which is annoying. Handcent works alright.

GO SMS
Developer is working on update for GO SMS to be compatible with ICS - I have found Chomp to work the best in the mean time
GO SMS for ICS released this morning! Fixed...kind of.
Some of the messages have been linked to the contact, but not all. Can't see the pattern either. Again, only occurs within the app. Quick Reply is fine.
Edit: Just did a clear data. Will see what happens.
Edit: Just received a few SMS. Some are finding the name, some arent'. No pattern that I can see.

Try resting permissions and notifications.
Pls advice where it is
HI, got the kitkat 4.4.2 on my 9195 4G LTE and the stock sms app has added some stupid contact icons next to every message you send or get. I know its a small thing but IT REALLY REALLY ANNOYS ME! Add that to the stupid txt and call alerts that appear on the lock screen... well I really wish it was on 4.1.2 like my old S3.
Well to combat the lock screen rubbish I rooted and used an Xposed module to disable the alerts.
Now the SMS app, does anyone know if the stock ANDROID sms app has the message icons? Or is this a samsung thing?
If the stock android hasn't got these message icons then can I remove the samsung version and install the android stock sms app? (If so where would i get it)
If not, does anyone know how to remo e the message icons? And I have tried other sms apps and don't care for them.
Thanks

At least on Cyanogenmod 10.1, the icons are there as well. I would bet dollars to donuts it is on the AOSP one too (as CM wouldn't have touched too much of this app form the AOSP original).
But I can fire up my AVD's and check out AOSP for you, even look as to what version the profile photos were added.
