you can use root explorer , which to me is easier than doing the ADB thing . Another thing that can help with this problem , is to go into titanium backup (pro) or (donate) and simply freeze the messenging app , or freeze text messages 2.2 either one wrks , just depends on if you want to use the message app from the ROM or the Stock message app. I personally chose to Freeze the text messages 2.2 (stock app) and use the Gala X messages. it has the black background . looks sweet. But freezing is easier to reverse also , just click one button.
