I've been having some problems with Handcent so I figured I ask:

Which is better Chop SMS or SMS Pop up?

I always thought that you need Chomp AND SMS Pop up to achieve the same function that you get from Handcent. Therefore, Handcent is superior!

I agree.

What kind of problems are you having with handcent?

It's been laggy and has force closed a bunch of times lately. Had to bring my phone in today cuz I thought it was bricked. They did a factory reset and seems all good. Thought I might try something new.

Been using Chomp SMS today and it seems exactly like Handcent. I don't mind the stock messaging app, just want a pop-up notification. I don't need the 5 million settings like Handcent has either.

jen8112, did you try the "FlashNotify" app yet? only issue is that it notifies by flashing the 3 LED buttons and the screen... they haven't figured out a way just to flash the LED yet.

I did try that when I had Handcent but they seemed to screw each other up. I switched to SMS Pop-up and I think I like it. You use the stock messaging app and it's a no nonsense pop up for notifications. I think I like it.

I uninstalled flashnotify because it randomly caused my screen to flash for no reason. If would be fine for a while and then when I got a message, it would flash till I checked it, then after I checked it it would continue flashing until I open adv task killer and killed flashnotify. Useless broken app IMO.

As far as problems with handcent, I found today by trial and error, that if you root out Mms.apk it will cause handcent to not save incoming messages int he conversation threads. When I pushed Mms.apk back in the system/app this problem ended. So if you rooted Mms.apk from your phone this is a problem.

Also, if you guys want ur phone to run better than it has ever run, u need to install ZE10.3 or better. It considerable improves the phone to the point it SHOULD have been out of the box. Just advice.
