handcent as ONLY text app

[Karuk]

I want to disable the htc text(message) app and use handcent as my primary. Seems you can not uninstall htc message app and I can not find a way to disable it.

And assistance is appreciated.

Gotta say the incredible is pretty awesome.

There is a thread that will walk you through making Handcent your default app. Basically you want to go to contacts and from there go to send a text msg. It should prompt you with which app to use. It will also say "make this the default". Then when you open the old app tell it to not notify you. Search for that old thread if you need better directions

Do you want to just turn off getting notified from the built in app?
That setting is in the app

Out of curiousity, why would you want to turn off the built in text messaging app (HTC)?

on the Eris the HTC message app is almost unusable after you have a thread of over 1000 messages and handcent seems to load a ton faster

I was hoping HTC would fix this but I guess not

the HTC app will always run in the background, handcent takes the data from the message app and somehow makes it faster to load, but deleting on the Eris still sucks, I hope the incredible fixes that problem. but all you can do is turn off the notifications from the HTC app

unless you root it

I accidentally selected the htc messaging app as default when i popped up, with that and handcent.....any idea how to get that message up again now?

it Would be stupid to uninstall the htc app when you can set handcent as your default..

You have to clear your messaging default.

all you have to do is disable the notification on the stock app. dont uninstall it
