Is there a way to replace the message icon on the lockscreen with GV?

I found some posts on XDA that say it can be done, but I'm double checking that now. I have GV set as my default sms in contacts, but it still only loads to the built-in one from the lock screen.

Well, if that's the case, then it CAN be changed from that "default messaging application" to any other application. I am no hardcore programmer, but it is definitely feasible.

Technically, of course it can be written to be a shortcut to any app, but that's not what was asked. As it stands, you can only change it by changing your default messaging app system wide; but again, Google Voice is not a messaging application. So the system doesn't set Google Voice as a default messaging application.

Can it be re-written/re-coded to work with GV? Of course, anything is possible. Will it be re-written/re-coded for that purpose? Not likely.

i replaced the miui stock mms.apk with the mms from cm6 and had no issues

Hey, this may be looong overdue, but there was a dev that made an app that'll emulate the intent that was missing to make GV, as you put it, a "messaging" app. Follow the link, download, and enjoy!

The app listed above works great for Google Voice!

For anyone who, like me, stumbles across this thread, that app still works great on the 2012.11.12 version of MIUI for the DroidX!
