Change default messaging application

---

How can I change this away from the 'messaging' application. I am aware of the normal method for changing defaults, i.e. settings, clear defaults, but the messaging application says that there are no defaults currently set...

Any help would be appreciated,

Think you should just turn off Auto-retrieve and Notifications from the Messaging app. And obviously don't start the Messaging app to check your messages, but your new app.

Yes, I do this normally and it works well. However, an application which I use which tells me the number of unread texts etc, is coded to open the default messaging application when I click on its widget (or so I'm told my the developer) and this opens the HTC Messaging application not GoSms. From this I must assume that the messaging app is the default... hence my post.

Thanks for your suggestion anyway,

Try these commands if you have root...

adb remount
adb shell
# cd /system/app
# cp Mms.apk /sdcard/Mms.apk.bak
# rm Mms.apk
# exit
adb reboot

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT try it if you dont back up

Thanks for your reply.

Don't have root *YET*

I'll try when I can.

Thanks again,

Phane.
