I was wondering if on a hero build you could remove the MMS.apk and just install something like Chompsms or Handcent, would you still be able to get messages without the original messaging app sitting in the background?

What do you mean? I'm talking about completely deleting the mms.apk from /data/app_s and just replacing with chomp, would that work?

What I was saying was you can just open up your original messaging app and go to settings and turn off your notification and just what other messaging app you want to use. That way when you get a new message it would just notify chompsms/handcent and not the original one. Then make chompsms/handcent your default. I would do it that way so you still got the original on there but use whichever one you want. You never know if you'll run into a problem and need the original one for a back up. I hope that makes sense, I know I was rambling.

I already do that on other hero builds and it works okay, but when I get a new text I open up cleanoid (or whatever other taskkiller I feel like using) it always shows the original messaging app as a running process and I would like to completely eliminate that so I can reduce as much memory usage as possible and receive all my messages
Ok gotcha. Well I don't have a definite answer and wouldn't want to give you a wrong one, but I would assume you could just remove. Don't know if it would give you any problems down the road. The worst thing that would happen would be to either push the mms.apk back or just reflash a rom.
From what I've been told hope this helps. If you delete the mms.apk your new one will work fine but you will loose the ability to send mms as your other messaging programs still use parts of the original to function properly. You could always try freezing the original mms program with titanium back up that way out of sight out of mind but if you should ever need it again you can just defrost it.

Can someone post the APK for Handcent 3.0 please? Thanks in advance.
I tried googling it, but I figured no one would have it up yet, since it was updated yesterday. Thanks again!
Pretty sure were not aloud to post or send .apks...
and I just updated Handcent, it's whatever to me.
I think you're not allowed to post unless it's free. I don't have google add-ons because I don't have a data plan. Thanks anyways :]

Hahaha no I am an end user of Handcent and just updated it from the market, it doesn't stand out much to me.
The new editing tools seem copied from Chomp anyway.

Once loaded... how can I disable the resident SMS from ALSO running at the same time?
Greetings.
As my title indicated, once I have installed Handcent, or even ChompSMS... how do I disable the original resident SMS program from ALSO running? When I ran it before on my Motorola Droid - 2.1.1 - I would not only get the SMS text reader that came with the device, but also the downloaded program app. Having both pop-up in the task bar was more of a distraction than a battery drain. What command, if any, is available to keep the resident one OFF, rather than have it turn on, too?

When running Handcent or ChompSMS - how do we...?!
Greetings!
I was wondering - when running either Handcent or ChompSMS... how do we DEselect or prevent the resident messaging app from also running - so we won't be getting TWO apps offering repeated messages...??
Android commander/Droid explorer or terminal to remove the apks. Keep a backup!
I cannot remember where I read this, but someone removed the original SMS/MMS app from autostart, and he did not receive messanges any more.
So turn off the notifications from the original SMS client is a good idea, removing or stopping it is not reccomendet.
I've been trying to install the apk, but it force closes anytime you try to access the contacts app. I like the one from the Captivate because you can swipe the contact name right to call, and left to message directly. I don't like the Fascinates, which shows the text/call buttons when you swipe the contact to the right.
Any ideas out there?
I would also love to have this
I have not seen this, does anyone have a video or a link to a video on the Captivates contacts app?

It works like when you are in the fascinates messaging app. Swipe your finger right on a messaging thread and it place a call, left and it opens a message. On the vibrant it will do this in the contacts app.
Bump.........
The stock contacts app will do this also. Swiping right brings up an envelope and phone for their respective uses.

We're aware but that's not what we want. I want like the Captivate and Vibrant where I swipe right and it places a call and left opens a message.

Correct, this is the functionality I'm looking for. The contacts app on the fascinate is also a nice touch, but its an extra click. I know it may sound picky, but hey, thats why we mod our phones!
This would be awesome, that's one feature I liked about the vibrant.

I assume the one you tried (and kept FCing) was the deodexed version?

I tried taking the Contacts.apk directly from the Vibrant system dump and it didn't do anything but FC so I was thinking maybe I need the odex file also or there was more work to be done to get it running that was beyond my knowledge.
I think the reason behind the FC is because of the missing parameter for the backup assistant which verizon only offers i think. (you need subscription for this)
The swipe action works in the text message thread. Go to your text messages and swipe left or right on a name then it will either go call or text, respective direction.

Yeah we already established that. Looking for that functionality in the contacts app.

It was a system dump from the i9000, I also tried the one from the Vibrant like kvaughan did. I haven't been able to find the Contacts.apk from a Captivate dump, I'm actually on vacation this week and I havent been in front of my computer too much to do some real research
OK, I've attached the Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk from the deodexing of the last official (i.e. non-Froyo) Captivate ROM.
I haven't tried it (and am not quite sure what ContactsProvider *does*), so test at your own risk.
I'll take a look at implementing that & see how it goes.
Edit: The slide to call or message is a nice feature. The only issue is that the settings for Contacts.apk has SIM & ATT features. When tapping a contact on the home screen, instead of coming up like a message box (comic style), it just pops up without much kick...
Now Im new to the programing part of all this so correct me if im completely off base or if it would be to difficult. Since the feature does work in the fascinates text messaging. Would it be possible to locate the part of the code in there and implement it into the contacts. I'm not doubting that it would be extremely complex but since it is already on the fascinate it theoretically would work if that part of code could be transfered into the contacts file correct?
For some god-awful reason the Captivate Contacts.apk is dependent on the Yahoo! Stock Widget.
>_>
So you'll need at least that.
No, just use the Mesmerize Contacts. Works great on either DI01 or DJ05.
On my Captivate when I recieve a message it's never in order.
For example, I send a test text to a friend at 7:41. When he sends it back one minute later the text ends up behind mine (not in order) and the time recieved says 2:41am.
Is there something wrong that I'm missing? How can I fix this?

Wow. I tried the app mentioned in the topic and it totally ruined the order of my texts...
Yeah, that did not work at all. Messed things up even more.
Any other ideas?
Use Handcent, it's free, totally customizable and works.

don't use auto time/date update
if you use the stock messaging app, try using handcent or chomp and see if it still does it.
So I've been spending the better part of an hour trying to convince widgetlocker to block sms popup but can't seem to figure out the proper system name. I have tried "SMS Popup", "android-smspopup", and "com.smspopup.*" any help would be greatly appreciated.

why not just uninstall SMS popup or tell SMS popup not to try and unlock screen?
It doesn't unlock the screen. It pops up in front of widget locker instead of waiting for me to unlock it like it does by default. I tried the whole trying to figure it out through installed apps thing too. Even tried finding it before the names changed in running apps list. Not happening.

I'm also trying to figure this out... I love the customization for individual contacts that SMS Popup offers, and I'm not ready to lose that.... so if anyone can figure it out... haha.

I have never once said it unlocks the screen. And it never unlocks the phone on any setting. It does turn the screen on by default but I turned that off long ago. the problem is when I turn the screen on sms popup sits on top of the lockscreen with widgetlocker. Widgetlocker has an option but you need the actually system name such as "com.handcent.nextsms" to handcent. I just need that one little line of text to fix this. Just don't know what it is for sms popup.

All you had to do to get that line was navigate to /data/app with root explorer and find SMS popup.
net.everythingandroid.smspopup-1.apk
Its a liveable issue. It doesn't wake the screen at least but I know there has to be a way to figure it out. Its probably not even that hard but I don't know enough about programming or how android works to do so. I've been on vacation since the issue started and getting on a plane home now. Hopefully ill be able to figure it out with a better workspace blah.
Edit: either you posted that while I was typing or im blind. I actually tried that my device just showed smspopup.apk I thank you very much sir.

Has anyone figured it out? I have had my first ever since it came out and I am confused on how to save pictures. I have tried opening them in the messaging app it won't save on there i open it on messenger and messaging it comes up with the save picture pop up I click it and then it says there was an error. Hopefully someone has figured this out.

I installed GoSMS just for that. When someone sends me a picture I want to save, I go open the message in GoSMS and save it there. It's not elegant (or even logical), but it works.

Just take any MP3 you want and drop it in the Ringtones folder. Also, check out Zedge. Tons of ringtones for free from there, and a great selection of good stuff.
