Handcent SMS App

.DarDarBinks

If you havnt got it already get it, a great little app, which allows you to change text font, add backgroud pictures and add the iphone look conversation as opposed to the boring generic looking android one.

But I have a minor problem, since its basically two message applications running I get two notifications, but it goes straight to Handcent SMS app as expected, but the android message app doesnt go away unless I clear it manually, which is a small price to pay but is there away of getting rid of this altogether?

Turn off the notifications in the stock SMS app.

Cool I tried handcent before and liked it that was until I tried chompsms. It's more stable I found with the desire and overall a more polished app. Give it a try http://www.chompsms.com/main/install_chomp

Just trying out ChompSMS, thanks for the recommendation Pyro boy.

First opinions I thought it didnt look as good but has similar editing options so I will try them and give it a chance as it seems to be faster then HandcentSMS

Is there any way of replacing the stock messaging app from the 4 icons on the home page (Samsung Spica 2.1)

They seem to be locked in place,

There's instructions here, but you're far better off installing a home replacement app, the Samsung one is crap. Personally I use PandaHome (free), but there's lots of other ones out there

is there anyway of saving single messages from handcent? as opposed to having it part of a long convo?

Hold your finger over the message and select 'lock message', you can then delete threads but the locked mesages will remain.
