How would I go about replacing the Q5 dialer with the Q3 dialer? I tried it with TITBU by freezing and installing the APK but it failed?
Actually TITBU did downgrade the dialer, but it looks the same, so blocking must be at the kernel level?
Hey! The version of the messaging app only changes features. The UI is all serverside, hence why google can suddenly change messages back to its original theme.

So you are saying the messaging app decides what features the phone app has?

Yes. Doesn't affect UI unless it is a really old version.

Is there a way to make the screen come on when a text is received so that one would know who it is from before unlocking the phone? Something like how the notifications on the iPhone light up the screen. I think my hero before this would light up the screen when receiving notifications.
Also I have 2.2 OTA and would like to know if sense can be disabled on this version like it could on the first evo software?
Handcent SMS has that function

And if you want to stay with the stock messaging app, you can use sms popup from the market.

Tasker is a great choice
Another app that does this and a ton more is tasker. I have the app set to only turn on the screen when certain contacts text me.
I hated that with my Touch Pro, increased the amount of butt dialing when it was in my pocket, but to each his own.

Settings > Applications > Manage applications > HTC Sense (or maybe it's called Rosie? Can't remember and running Cyanogen so I can't check). Then clear defaults and force close. Now, when you press the 'Home' button, it will pop-up and ask what launcher you want to use (you need to install another one).
This does not really disable Sense, at least not in any real fashion. But it will get rid of and make unusable all of HTC widgets and such. Sense is still there, baked into the system, but you wont see it.
And yes, this will work whether you are rooted or not.
Is there an easy way to disable the Sense Message app? It does not let to disable it in the App Settings.
Thanks

Did you try to freeze it with Titanium backup ? But i dont understand why you want to disable it
Is it because....
.....you have installed another messaging app and you're getting multiple notifications?
Thanks for the reply. Titanium Backup cannot freeze it.
I want to disable it as I'm using a replacement app and whenever I receive a SMS I get it twice, once in both apps. The fix is to disable the stock message app, but I can't see how to do it

Hmm i am not sure about this app ... but you can disable notifications in the stock messaging app: open stock messenger --> settings --> notifications and there you can disable everything
Thanks again for the reply, but the notification isn't the problem. I get the message twice, in the both apps. So in both stock and the ICS Messaging I get the message twice.
I tried turning off notifications and it didn't help (worth a try though )

Oh, now i understand No, its not possible ... all the message apps are working on the base of the stock (i think), thats why you cant disable it.
You could try to set a wrong Service center number in the original app, and the right SCN in the one you will use give it a try and report back
There seems to be no way to set the SCN in the ICS app, so no go on that one. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll just have to go back to stock, no biggie

To be honest, i dont even know whats the difference between that two apps, the stock one looks great to ... the only thing why i use GoSMS is that you can block messages and set a private box, and theres no message/call blocker that can satisfy my needs for now ... i like the stock one more, but what can i do
You can't disable the sense message app but you can turn the notifications off if you go to SMS - settings - messages
i had the exact same problem, i just disabled notifications from the message apps settings and now i'm only getting one notification from ICS messenger
very happy !!

Hi, I have update the my nuxus 4 to Kitkat(4.4) but I am very much disappointed with new dialer, Can any one have the old 4.3 dialer?? Please share me..
Thanks,

+1, every time I try to swipe to awap screens it deletes my favorites.
Also need it for a friend...If i pull it from factory image will be working??

4.4 dialer sucks
That's why I went back to 4.3.
It really sux!
Agree with you.
Installing apk from jelly bean will fail as it has lower version (and it might be not the only reason).
Maybe some can grab sources from JB Dialer/Contacts app and change it's ID so Android will install it aside with original dialer as separate app painless?
:highfive:
it's just a matter of time till you get used to it, JB's dialer was and is outdated, the new one is a total improvement and you'll learn to like it like all of us did :fingers-crossed:
Why do you want the old dialer? If you have the same problem with it as me, I might have a workaround.
I hate that it doesnt show the dialer itself, I just want to open the app, press a few numbers and call a person. For this, someone made an Xposed module called Show Dialpad which will show the dialpad the moment you open the app. Now I don't mind using the new dialer anymore

Do you know how or if we can get landscape in the new dialler? With the 4.3 one, the dialler automatically switched to landscape when docked in the car, which the Kitkat one doesn't seem to do.

Xposed App Settings can also do that. Go to App Settings > Dialer, turn the switch on and in orientation, change (default) into Normal Rotation.

Thanks and yes I am already using that Xposed mod just to get some degree of landscape as unfortunately it doesn't give a 'proper' landscape mode. It just expands/compresses the portrait screen into landscape. So for example, the dialpad becomes almost unusable with the rows of numbers overlapping etc. On the 4.3 dialler, when docked, it brought up a properly formatted landscape mode, with the caller image on the left, and buttons on the right.

You can install Contacts+ from the play store. I would say it is a nice dialer to replace the stock.

Thanks. This certainly helps, but the one thing we're missing is the in-call landscape. Unfortunately due to the way Android works, it seems as if no other dialler can be used for the actual in-call functionality other than stock.

Anyone using Nova? Having issues with it?
I installed Nova started setting it up, seemingly no issues adding widgets, moving icons, applying theme etc until I try to use the "Messaging" app (Not Message+). Nova says "App isn't installed". I have no issues getting to it via home launcher and the Messaging app works fine. Haven't had any other issues. I cleared app cache and data, tried uninstalling/reinstalling and even did a factory reset since I've had the thing less than 24 hours all to no avail. Any ideas? Anyone else seeing anything similar?
edit: fwiw, it's the Verizon version.
2nd edit: A temporary workaround - To anyone still having this issue I created a workaround using tasker. I just made a task that was "open messaging app" and placed a widget in nova. I set the icon to be the stock messaging app icon and I don't know any different.
I had the same problem. I gave up and stuck with the stock Launcher. I even tried making an activity short cut in Nova and it still said app not installed.
VZW here too.
Same thing on my VZW G4 as well. I tried the Google Now Launcher and the messaging app loaded just fine. I switched back to stock though because the GNL icons were too big.
Very strange but glad to know I'm not alone. I'm using stock now as well, it's really not that bad, just not as customizable. Hopefully it's just a bug that's easily fixed.
Did you do any kinda of restore, works fine on Nova and Tmobile
having this issue as well. going to try to send a bug report to the devs that make nova.
on verizon g4.

I'm also having the same issue with third party launchers. I left a review on Nova. I don't like Verizon's messaging app. I prefer the stock SMS app.
Remove non-working messaging icon from desktop.
Drag the working messaging icon from the app drawer to the desktop.
Done :good:
Having same issue.
And app doesn't work from App drawer or replacing shortcut on home screen.
Nova does not recognize the LG Messaging app at all.

Any word back, Valkyrie? I'm wondering if they'll just say it's a vzw/LG issue.
Having the same problem on Action Launcher and I think I know what it is related to. I had an LG G3 and used the LG Backup app to backup my old phone and restore it to the G4 when I got it last week. Action Launcher had a shortcut on the desktop and in the drawer to the stock Messaging App on the G3, and so when restored, it is looking for that file rather than the new Messaging app on the G4. Of course the stock LG launcher is all new for the G4 and so its shortcuts were not restored from my old backup and so they still work. In fact, if I install a new launcher I've never used it works fine (I just installed Go Launcher and it works) because I'm not restoring data. However, both launchers I previously had on my G3 (Action and Nova ) have this problem. I'd bet that everyone with this problem restored their phone or just their launcher from a backup somehow. I'd bet that if I could somehow remove and reinstall the stock messaging app it might work again, but how could you do that without root? Anyone more knowledgeable than me have a thought about that?
No restore here. Brand new phone and clean installs from play store for the apps. I formatted the sd card so there isnt even any old data on there. I think it's something else. Someone else said they were able to get it to work with go launcher as well.
just to chime in i have the same problem, I got around to fully setting up my device and i use google messenger and it works fine, yet still the LG messaging app still doesn't work. Verizon version here as well.
