LauncherPro and messaging

---

I'm using flipz latest fresh toast rom, and i'm thinking of switching to using launcherpro but i can't figure some things out

At the bottom, the messaging button always goes to the stock messaging app
I did some research and everybody says it goes to whatever you have set as your default
So i went to manage apps and cleared out the data for the messaging app and then set default messenger to chomp through the people contacts
but the messaging button on launcherpro still goes to the stock messenger app

I have dolphin set as my default browser and that works just can't get frigen chomp to open

anyone know how to get this to work correctly?

If you remove Mms.apk, it'll default to your other SMS app.

However, I don't think that should do the trick. I always push the AOSP Mms.apk and then after I do that, launcherpro beta asks me which app should be default. I have a theory that if you rm your Mms.apk (after pulling it to back it up) and repush it, it should reset and then ask you which you want to set as default. I'm on Darchroid, so I can't test this theory myself, and no one in the other thread seemed to want to... So, give it a shot.

I have been told the Mms.apk is required by other programs, so removing it would be a bad idea. I too set the default messaging app to handcent and it is still going to the stock app. The LauncherPro dev said that he plans to make the bottom more customizable in his next release, which he plans to finish in about 2 weeks. I did find out that LauncherPro is not installed as a system app, so I suggest installing the update that came out 2 days ago using the market. It added 2 settings, rotate and home goes to the default page, so it acts like sense.

Like I said, I agree that removing Mms.apk is a bad idea.

What I'm saying, because it HAS worked for me every time, is pushing either the AOSP Mms.apk to your phone (it's faster, nicer, and does everything the stock one does - better!) and it WILL ask which SMS app you want to use as your default (I've done it so many times it's silly, and it works every single time) OR (this is the one I HAVE NOT tested that I'm asking someone to test) is removing the HTC stock Mms.apk and the repushing it. I can even provide both the .apks if need be.

I cant get anything on the bottom row to default to anything not handcent or opera mini

This is from the LauncherPro website:

That’s it for now. I think I came up with a pretty nice way to handle the shortcut dock customization. If there are no big bugs in the current release I should be able to start working on it tomorrow, though it probably won’t be ready until next week (going to New Zealand for the weekend).

LauncherPro seems to ignore defaults and it just opens the stock apps. I am looking forward to being able to customize the shortcut dock. The LauncherPro dev seems to work at a fairly fast pace, so I expect good things to be coming soon.
