Chomp > Handcent

[liquidzoo]

Deal breaker (for me) - Chomp SMS is not able to set different LED colors for different contacts like Handcent is. That's a deal breaker. I like to glance at my phone and know if the vibration I just got was a generic text or my wife.

How do you set this? I know how to change the LED colors overall, but not for individual contacts. Please let me know. Thanks!

Go into an individual contact in your conversation list. From there, go into the options screen. Everything looks the same as the overall options, but if you change something in the notifications there (LED, vibrate, ringtone, icon (I think)) it will only change for that specific contact. Very handy.

There we go! Much appreciated!

+1 for Handcent never had any problems with it!! Just wish I could backup my settings or something I've given up on try to customize it as I flash ROMs too often these days :\

I've been using chomp of late and it's pretty good. I used to use handcent but for some reason it has stopped working correctly. I had the option to turn the screen on whenever I get a txt and it would work but right after that the screen would not turn on after a txt. Samething for the pop up option. I've tried to uninstall and install again and it just wont work.

Handcent is very good..I only wish there was a way to do without the stock messaging app.. there's no point to the "blacklist" option..when they still show up in the stock message app..

Ok, so I downloaded Chomp after seeing this thread. Liked it ok, but still preferred Handcent. So I unistalled Chomp. After that, Handcent started Changing my ex's name and contact pic to our son's. Stock app was fine. Uninstalled/ reinstalled Handcent, deleted messages, hell I even deleted them and re-input their info. They're the only ones affected that I've seen. Too weird. Any ideas?

Love people who post like this. Guy makes no claims on why its better. Just seeks attention with a title, with no explanation, rhyme, or reason. Sigh. Next?
