HTC Droid Eris :: Handcent SMS Themed

Apr 8, 2010

I have skinned Handcent SMS and changed a few things. Ask if you have any questions. Just install it like a normal application. Any suggestions are welcome.

Update 6/9/10:
-REMOVED ADS!
-Optimized all png's so app runs faster and is more lightweight.

Update 6/5/10:
-Updated to Handcent version 3.0.4.

Updates 5/03/2010:
-Changed all text entry boxes to stock Android.
-Changed top bar to white.
-Changed all top bar icons to stock Android look.
-Changed send button to grey and made it square rather than rectangle.

Update 4/21/10:
-Changed all attachment icons to stock Android 2.0+ icons. (Screenshots)
-Changed settings icon to stock Android settings icon. (In conversation list, press menu, the settings button is changed now.)
-Changed 2 of the notification icons. One is the stock android black smiley icon, and one is the android 1.5 or 1.6 notification icon. Just scroll through the notification icons to find them.

Update 4/18/10:
-Updated to Handcent SMS version 2.9.36

Update 4/12/10:
-Resized icons so they don't look distorted on the dock of HelixLauncher.
-Recolored the send message button to go with the rest of the color scheme.

Update 4/10/10:
-Changed the "To:" text entry box for Handcent quick reply to white.

Update 4/9/10:
-Changed widget bubble color to black so the greens don't clash.
-Changed pop-up text entry box to white with orange border rather than the ugly tan color.

Updates 4/8/10:
-Updated Handcent version to 2.9.35
-Changed Handcent bubbles to chompSMS bubbles. (Both are default silver bubbles now, but in settings you can change the color back to green or whatever colors you like for the bubbles). Thanks to n1ghtwish for helping me figure this out!
-Recolored the top bar of iPhone theme to go better with new bubbles. The top bar is now more white rather than a blueish tint.

Updates:
-Changed unknown contact icon to an android robot, similar to the Nexus One.
-Changed Handcent icon to the stock android icon (little green smiley face).
-Recolored the text entry box to a white rectangle and added an orange border around to look similar to stock android phones.

Screenshots:

Download: HandcentCustom.apk

IMO, it looks better if you go into Handcent, options, bubble settings, and scroll all the way to the bottom and uncheck start lines of editor box so that it will only be 1 line rather than 2 to start out with. (That's also how it is in the screenshot).

By the way, you must uninstall Handcent and any font packs before installing this modded version. Props to sneaky_zekey over at alldroid.com for helping me figure all this out.

HTC Droid Eris :: ChompSMS Themed

Apr 20, 2010

I have slightly themed ChompSMS. Got this "cracked" version from another website, which removed ads. Then I themed it up a little. Unfortunately it is version 3.6, which isn't the latest build, but works pretty flawlessly for me.

Updates:
-No ads!
-Changed ChompSMS icon to stock Android (green smiley) icon.
-Changed message unread bar to green instead of blue.
-Changed highlight color from blue, to the yellow-orangeish stock Android selection color. (Look at screenshots)
-Changed the green notification icon to the stock green smiley icon (you have to change this in notification settings, it isn't defaulted).

Screenshots:

Download: chompsmscustom.apk

HTC Droid Eris :: Handcent Hype

Jun 16, 2010

when i first got my eris (in Jan.) i installed this because everyone on here was saying how amazing it is! So i installed it. It didn't work properly and kept force closing. So i installed chomp. Chomp is amazing and i freakin love it. I still see people talking about hancent so i decided to give it another try last night. My g/f sent me a picture message 3 times and i didnt get a single one of those messages with handcent. it would randomly erase texts as soon as i replied to them. I quickly uninstalled it and ran back to chomp.

HTC Droid Eris :: Added HAndcent SMS

Dec 31, 2009

I added Handcent, which rocks. But now in my notification bar there are two text notifications--one from Handcent and one from the native SMS app. So my question is: Is there a way to keep both SMS apps from showing up in the notification bar? Can I delete the native SMS application?

HTC Droid Eris :: Handcent Vs Message

Apr 10, 2010

I have been using Handcent for just under a month. I like it very much. I have a question though. Since I no longer use ATK and been observing using System Panel; I notice that both are still running ACTIVE. Handscent has more CPU time then Message. More then half my txts come up as a quick text over the lock screen.Is that pulling from Handcent or Message?

HTC Droid Eris :: Why To Use Handcent And Not ChompSMS?

May 25, 2010

I used to be a Handcent user and recently switched to ChompSMS. I couldn't be happier with my decision.

It's much faster, much prettier, and has all the features I need or want.

I just don't understand why Handcent seems to be the more popular SMS app.

HTC Droid Eris :: Handcent SMS Message Not Delivered

Mar 25, 2010

I've tried searching up the forums and found that some people had this bug and it was fixed by doing the *228 option 2. I tried that and when I use Handcent it still says the message is not delivered and sometimes it just flat out sends a blank message.The text is going to an email not an actual phone number but I'd like to keep handcent because I really like the pop up and the GUI. Would anyone have any other tips or tricks to help me get rid of this annoying error?Well i guess I forgot to mention some things.I updated my phone to 2.1 last night with the "new" leak I guess you call it.I tried restarting my phone, uninstalling and reinstalling handcent.

HTC Droid Eris :: 2.1 And Handcent Undelivered Message

May 17, 2010

So I updated (finally!!) to 2.1 OTA on Saturday morning. Ever since then, my Handcent app has been acting strangely. Seems at least half of the txts I send generate an "Undelivered message" error, and there's that lil red 'x' next to the msg in the convo. Thing is, I've checked with friends, and the texts are in fact being sent just fine. Anyone else having this problem? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Handcent, to no avail. It's really annoying to have to delete the "undelivered messages" every time. Plus then I have no record on my phone of that sent txt.

HTC Droid Eris :: Handcent Wont Play Mp3

Feb 19, 2010

I have handcent downloaded and astro manager downloaded.

I have copied and pasted many sounds to the Notifications folder, but they never show up when i go to choose one from the handcent application settings.

Same as with the Ringtones, they dont show up when i select a contact and want to select a ringtone from that folder.

They are viewable and they do play with the astro app.

I have tried changing the file extensions to .wav .m4a .mp3 None of them will show up.

I have folders set up on card as:

Media
-- Audio
-- Notifications
-- Ringtones
-- Alarms

HTC Droid Eris :: Handcent Sms And Htc Message Widget

Dec 17, 2009

I use handscent for text messaging, like it a lot. I also like(ed) the htc message widget (gives you a stack of your most recent texts on your home screen). The only problem is that i can not figure out a way to have the widget take me into handcent (rather then the htc native messaging app) when i hit either the list or compose butttons at the bottom of the widget. Anyone have any ideas or will the widget just always connect with the htc app?

Has anyone tried to turn off auto retrieve for mms on the stock sms app and turn it on through Handcent? It seems pointless to have two programs auto retrieving mms messages. Does anyone know if this would help battery life?

Handcent was awesome. Did past couple updates and now it opens incredibly slow. When it finally opens it force closes. Love handcent over stock messaging app. Maybe someone has an older version of the apk that used to run fine.

HTC Droid Eris :: Making Handcent Label Fit On Screen

Apr 20, 2010

Anyway, if you're like me and go crazy that the icon text for handcent doesn't fit in the allotted space, you can delete that icon, long press on the screen, and add the handcent widget. This has a label that fits on the screen and acts just like the original icon. I know you can do this with bettercut, but some people don't want to use it.

HTC Droid Eris :: Handcent Popup Replying In Pocket / What To Fix?

Jun 8, 2010

I've used SMS Popup and Handcent's popup feature and both reply to messages while the phone is in my pocket, and obviously they are jibberish and it annoys some of my friends (I don't even realize they texted me most of the time).

Is there any way to have some sort of unlocking feature when the phone 'wakes up'? Has anyone else figured out a way around this problem?
