any way to gert rid of the stock text message app?

[snowwy66]

i've got the handcent installed. i really don't need two apps doing the same thing.

i'd rather just get rid of the stock text app and stick with handcent.

and yes i have root.

You could freeze it with titanium backup, that's what I used.

Tapped on my Bionic running KIN3TX.

I use bloat freezer free and freeze it.
I do suggest going into settings on the default messaging app and turning off notification before freezing.

Handcent also has an option to "Set as default SMS." So with that, and disabling the stock notifications you should be all set! (that's what I did at least)

I use GoSMS which also has the "set as default sms" feature, but I found that I still had to go into the stock text messaging app, go to settings, and way down at the bottom, uncheck the notification settings. That did the trick for me.

I seem to have a problem though with sending pictures on either GoSms and Handscent to some one that doesn't have that particular service...is this a known issue?

Not that I've seen. I tend to send a lot of picture messages to my sister and she doesn't have GoSMS, just the stock text messaging app on her LG Ally. I also get her pictures without issue. Maybe you could email the developers? I know Go Launcher EX gets updated frequently to fix tiny issues here and there, so they seem pretty devoted to fixing bugs for people.
