Does anyone have a fix for group messaging on android. I've tried all the third party apps but none of them truly put replies into a single thread. Handcent claims to do it but it lags a lot and my group msgs to iPhone users do not send.
I want to be able to send group messages and have replies come back as one thread.
Pansi is a good app but does not allow users to reply in same thread.
Hopefully google or android will work out a solution.
Hey everybody,
So I'm on Paranoid Android and I've noticed an issue. The messaging application (and all third-party applications) really have no good way of sending out multiple messages to lists when the search command is invoked.
The stock messaging applications from GAPPS JB sucks. I can't go into a contacts list window and just *click* off the names of people I want to send the message to. I think everybody has seen this, right?
HandCent and GoSMS are not much better. Let me give you an example.
Let's say I have 100 people from OSU in my phone. Every one of them has a tag called "OSU" in their names in my contact lists. If I try to send a new message with GoSMS or HandCent and type "OSU" in the search box, all 100 of them will show up....
The *problem* is that they will be COMPLETELY OUT OF ALPHABETICAL ORDER! Unlike in the stock Sprint ROM's app!
So does anybody else suffer with this and can anybody help me around this problem? I don't think simply installing the stock application on Paranoid Android will work, as this appears to be the way the contacts list is being perused by the messaging applications.
Hoppingfully yours,

I tried Jelly Belly to see if the group messaging worked, but no dice. I can send to a group of iphone users but when I receive the messages they just come in the individual threads. Is group messaging working / figured out yet? If so, is there an apk floating around to download? Thanks!
One thing i would like to see in ROMS is Group Texting and Emoji. I see the new rom Liquid Smooth added group mms threading. Now is it possible to add Emoji throughout the phone like IPhones? Like i know i can download Chomp SMS or Go SMS and then download the emoji addon, but the emoji addon only works in the SMS app.. I cant use the Emojis for apps like instagram. Is that possible or do Devs have to port that into their ROMS? Thanks.

I second that! I'm a total noob at ROMs and stuff but I've been able to decompile the SecMms.apk and other system apps and I've discovered there is code for both threaded group mms and emojis. At this point I'm too noob to figure out what I need to do to enable at least the threaded group mms but I totally second this!
Bump please!
There was an emoji keyboard that developers were able to hack out of the jb codes. There was a zip uploaded to XDA, I had that a while ago. Basically when you want to type, you'd change to that JB emoji keyboard and there you have it! can post anywhere..

If its a group of friends, try kik or Voxer. That's what we use. They'd all need the app. There are some that work on all platforms too....not sure which.

Group texting is the standard for normal cell phone users and should of been included in android long ago. Bizzare that its not. Telling any friends I want to group chat with to install and sign up for some app is not the right or easy option.

its on every ROM in here except TW Roms they dont support it but you can see them if not then just download and app called Chomp sms and it replace you text app with that one and it has all the bells and whistles you want also if you do install make sure to uncheck the notifications on your stock messaging app so you dont get double the notify
I think Google added the code in JB 4.2 to natively support group messaging. The recent updates for the SG2 models won't do group threads. If you use a a 4.2 rom then it should already be in there without needing a secondary program. I'm running Slim and it works fine.
hi i have a question hopefully you can give me an answer asap. i have google messenger installed as my default sms app. i also have hangouts. but i was wondering how do i send group messages on which i already have a group made up rather than adding one by one. i hope that made sense what i said. for example i get a text saying hey basketball at 330. i already have a group made up called bball but i cant see anywhere to add it on messenger or hangouts. i dont want to have to add one by one i want to select the group it just says frequent or all contacts. please help me by giving me step by step. im using the latest lollipop rom from gpe on my m919 s4. thanks.
