Choose which apps show up in Gallery sharing menu?

I will never use the Messages app to send a picture (yes, never. I don't have an SMS plan) so I'd like to be able to remove it from the sharing list from the Gallery. Is there any way to choose which apps show up in that sharing list?
Thanks.

Only by removing the apps. You could go into the Messaging App Info page, and Disable it. As a warning, though, Messaging is one of the core OS apps, and disabling it could possibly cause instability. I've never had any reason to try it, but just keep it in mind in case you have issues; you can always re-enable it.

Any idea if this is the kind of thing a custom ROM could enable: choosing which apps show up in the menu?

Anything's possible; that could certainly happen. I don't see it as being a very widely anticipated feature, though. Just out of curiosity, I'm not sure if you noticed, but after you've used the sharing menu a few times, it shows only your top 3 apps (technically 2nd, 3rd, and 4th) that you've used for sharing, and then a "See All..." button below it. Also, your foremost sharing app will show up as an icon to the right of the sharing icon. Example below, with imgur, Messaging, Kik, and Gmail.

Just use Quickpic is is really good. I use it as my main gallery. Also has the option to hide stuff.

Thanks for the ideas.

[Q] Duplicates in CM10.1 Quick Reply

Occasionally when I receive texts I'll get multiple quick reply popups for the same text. Usually anywhere from 2-5 duplicates.
Sometimes I can see these duplicates in the stock messaging app and sometimes they aren't there and there is only 1 text.
Is this happening to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

I guess this isn't happening to anyone else?

I'm not experiencing this. Only I've seen is old popups of unread SMS messages when a new one arrives.
Maybe you should post it in the cm thread?
Beamed from my CM10.1 Galaxy Nexus

I had this problem since "always". It happens randomly and for no particular reason.
Anyone has a fix for this?

I've had this happen on several occasions, and it happens when the text count hits the max allowed (CM default is 500)... for me anyway. I try to delete my threads when they get too big, and it seems to help prevent it from happening.
To resolve it (again, for me anyway), I delete all threads and clear the cache in the Messaging app. That seems to usually work for me.

CM default max 500? How can this be changed?

[Q] Handcent Blank Conversation/Thread Bug

Hey I'm having an issue with Handcent that I hope someone can help me with. This issue doesn't seem to be ROM specific, I've had it with every TW JB ROM and kernel I've tried.
At some point after booting, usually after exchanging ~30 or 40 texts, when I try to send a text it doesn't go through and my screen shows a blank conversation screen, with only the contact's name and number at the top (see first attached image). Then when I hit back, the thread list is also completely blank (see second attached image). In order to make the threads and conversations reappear I have to kill the app and go back in, but after sending another 2 or 3 texts the problem happens again. Only way to solve it for good (until sending another 30 texts) is to reboot the phone.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Handcent but that hasn't helped.

If its happening on multiple roms, it may just be a bug with the app
Have you checked the Play Store reviews to see if anyone else is having issues? Try rolling back a version as well, you can probably find an older version online
Also, clearing cache / data doesnt help? Did you restore any data between flashes, by chance?

I haven't seen anyone else mention the issue on Google Play. Haven't tried an older version of the app yet but I may have to give that a shot. Clearing data on the app didn't help, and I've wiped caches many times. I did restore some user apps with TB between flashes, but they're all games that I don't think would affect an SMS app.

I've had this problem (messaging specific, not handcent) where that eventually happens... And it's not rom or even phone specific... Its happened on my note 2 and my wife's gs3.only way to fix is to reboot the phone.

Weird hangout m8 issue???

This is an xpost from the vzw section. Wondering if any other m8s that this same issue....
hey guys/gals
I have a patriotically weird bug that i want to share and see if anyone else can replicate it. I have not been able to reproduce the bug on other devices i have just the M8
I first noticed it when i copied a url from within reddit is fun
(http://imgur.com/8OLeFQM)
thats the link, if i directly share it to a hangout chat there is no issue, however if i copy the url then open hangout to share it once i click on the text field hangout crashes.
Now to see if it was the reddit app i texted that link, rebooted phone, copied the link from txt and the issue returns as soon as i open a hangout chat.
now i have copied and pasted many other links, some do cause hangout to crash some dont, its a VERY odd issue. the only way to get hangout working again is to reboot phone, (force stoping hangout or keyboard does not work)
here is a video of the issue.

same issue
Hey I am having the same issue on my Verizon M8. Whenever there is anything copied to the clipboard hangouts will crash as soon as I touch the text box. Were you able to find a solution? I've tried clearing app data and even uninstalled/reinstalled updates for Hangouts but no luck.

Nope, even sent Google hangout team logcats, video of error happening, everything. They still haven't gotten back with me. And unfortunately my m8 met an untimely death so I was forced to move onto the n6... Miss many features of the m8 but don't miss the bugs

Text Messages linking to Calendar

This may not be note 10 specific but I know this didn't occur on my Note 9. I've noticed since last night when I started texted with my note 10 that any text I send with "today" "tonight" "Tomorrow" Upon sending the text message the word becomes a link to create a new calendar item. Thus far I've been unable to find a way to turn this off. Has anyone else noticed this? If so has anyone found a way to stop this behavior?

Try turning this off in your message app settings.

No change unfortunately. Had tried that already and just tried it a second time after your suggestion.

Anyone ever find a solution to this? It's super annoying. Happens with both the Samsung messaging app and the Google messaging app on my S10e.

Thanks.... but was asking about SMS text messages, the subject of this thread.

For me it's under calendar itself.
Go into calendar settings or app settings for calendar and clear it's data and restart the calendar setup.

Yes, i know what's your subject of thread.
However, above info etc,
was my fix to my "problem",
when i had similar issues .
I found that it was my G calendar was recording Sms.... , email etc, everything, that had references to dates, days etc.!
and as my Samsung and Google calendars are linked,
it appeared in both calendars, as events etc.....!
Bottom line,
If my fix /info, does not apply to you or fix issues.... just ignore !
Good luck

I see. Thanks. I can't find any setting in my calendars that is linking to gmail or SMS. And it happens only on the stock Samsung and Google messages apps, not 3rd party SMS apps like Textra or Handcent. So I assume it's something related to the SMS apps...
