Bye Stock Messages App

[Guest Jeremy Goh]

Hello

Just wondering whether is it advisable to delete off the stock htc messages application from my device as Handcent now totally replaces it. Will it cause problems?

Because whenever I reply / receive a message from Handcent, the stock htc messages app will appear in my task manager. I have already disabled the notification in the stock messages app and I dont want the app to be a memory leak.

Appreciate it.

Thanks.

Chomp SMS is the best IMHO!

I do not know if you could delete the stock messaging app, but I would keep it.

I saved it on the ignore list of my task manager and use chompSMS for messaging.

I'm wondering the exact same thing! Perhaps someone with more insight in the inner workings of android can give an answer? If not I will make an nandroid backup, remove htc messages and see whats what and report back...

Yes you can remove it, and no it doesnt affect the workings of handcent/chomp.

I think the best way is removing Mms.apk via adb.

I just use Autostarts to prevent the native app from loading up.

[Guest Jeremy Goh]

Remove Mms.apk? Will that remove the mms functionality totally?

I just wish to remove the stock messages app and widget in ADB and could someone advice me on how to do that?

Thanks!

On second thoughts, it may not be a good idea:
