Alternate SMS/MMS Application

I am coming from a Sensation and liked their MMS/SMS Application, its layout, colors, etc. I am really not too found of Samsung's default texting application, it's colors, etc. Is there a replacement app someone can recommend or is this someway to change the layout colors, etc. I really don't care for it (one of the few things I don't like about the phone).
Thanks, in advance.

If you flash the deodexed version then i suggest pushing the mms.apk from a cm7 rom thats 2.3.5 or just you know use GO sms Pro

You should try go sms or handcent sms. Both very good and each have a lot of customizations, fonts and even themes.

I also use Go SMS Pro. It's great!

I would also recommend go sms pro... Really customizable and fast!

Can I replace the stock sms icon at the bottom of the screen with go sms?

Yeah just go i the app drawer and press thr menu butto and press view customizable. Then edit. Then just drag whatever over the mms stock and voila. Then go back to alphabetical

That changes the home row in the app drawer, how about the Home Screen?

Couple of q's
How do I get just an individual wallpaper for my lock screen rather than my normal wallpaper??
There's also a screenshot of someone's phone where there app icons are words,I know I change them as I figured that out in a different thread, is there a package for the word icons?

It is known that Sense UI doesn't allow custom lockscreen as it only provides the downloadable package from the HTC server.
The same thing applies to the stock launcher as well. You can't change the icon into words - unless you use third party app launcher and lockscreen such as Launcher Pro and WidgetLocker. By using this app, you can change anything you want, including what you have mentioned just now.
Both apps are available on the Market in free or paid edition.

You can do that on Sense 3.5 (in the personalize menu). I can't remember whether that option was there in 3.0 or below, so it might depend on what ROM you're using at the minute.

Thanks for the replys, sorted wallpaper now onto the widgets,thanks to All

I have a Deodexed Stock ROM and every icon pack has the same issue it only change some icons and the rest change only in the recent apps. Any way to fix this? Because I want to install a icon pack properly. Thanks.

You can always manually change the icons using a root explorer.

How? Extracting then replacing the icons? The question is that I changed the icons they are there but no changes, only in recent apps.

there are many techniques to install icons
1. If you want to install icons then download the icon pack by abhirockz and replace the icons in it with the ones you want
2. There is a software named as "apk edit" which allows you to change the name and icon of the desired apk.
Any more probs? PM me

Nope. If you want to change icons without rooting you'll need alternative launcher like Apex, ADW, GO or Nova (which I prefer the most). All of them are free (but you can buy full version with few features added). Check them out on Google Play.

Yes you can... Get Desktop Visualizer from Play store... And you can put your custom icons for anything......

[Q] Is it possible to change icons without a launcher?

I'm trying to change the icons for apps on my home screen.
I am using the touchwiz and is there any way i can change it without the use of launchers?

There is probably an easier way but if you root you can replace the res/drawable-mdpi/icon.png in each app to whatever you want

I use Icon Changer from the Play Store. Works well and you can use icon packs or "decorate" (as it says in the app) the stock icons. Hope this helps.
