Using Handcent as Default app on Froyo

[Vassago]

I'm trying to set Handcent as my default messaging app, but the Clear Defaults button is greyed out on Messaging in the Manage Applications area in stock Froyo... They would make this a pain wouldn't they? Anyone have any ideas?

No one else seeing this on DK28?

The way I've done this is when going to send a sms, a box comes up asking: "Complete Action Using" .... check the box where it says "Use by default for this action" before making your SMS selection.

After doing this, your default should be set to Handscent. I hope this is what you were looking for, if not, sorry I couldn't help!

Attached is a screenshot of the prompt you should get when selecting your SMS default choice.....

Yes, that works for new messages, but not for when you click on a tree of messages under the messaging shortcut in TW.

i just remove stock widget then turn off notifications for it and use sms bomber as default.
