HTC Evo Text APP

Has anyone had good experience with a aftermarket text ap? I've tried heaps and dont like them. The stock app jumbles my texts all up so im trying to find a better one.

Handcent is what I use. It is quite nice allowing different tones for different people for example.

If you must have the stock messaging app, use SMS popup from the market. Free and does what you need. Otherwise, use Handcent.

So far handcent is working about 50 times better than that stock usless text. Thanks!

Handcent right now cause ChompSMS doesn't have the option of leaving the display off when you get a message..the quick reply always will turn the display on when you have it turned off

I agree, Handcent is great. Has a lot of customization options. Turn off notification on stock SMS and give it a try.

Handcent is the way to go. Been using it since my G1 days.

yeah I and almost everyone I know with an android device have gone with handcent. With that and sms2pc, texting is actually fun

I have been using handcent for since I got my g1 but recently I've gone back to chomp because I like the widget, quick reply and preformance better then handcent. Setting the lock screen notification to 10 seconds is really useful and actually is more efficient on my phone then handcent which seemed to be a huge battery drain

I like the CyanogenMod messenger. Looks like the stock one but with a black backdrop and white letters.

Yeah CM's always been better but I can't decide if I want to void the warranty already.

warrenty is only void if they found out about the root =]

Ya I know...I was just saying that the gay iPhone has a pop messaging no need of downloading an app...I was just saying that they should of made the g2 with that option too..instead of having to download an app

Holy crap Handcent is soooooooo cooooool!
I downloaded it after I read some posts saying how it is without a doubt the best.
And it is amazing

handcent has always been great, lots of ways to customize and many options.

I use Google Voice, so I use the GV interface, as that is the only thing available to me.

so handscent is really that much better than chompSMS?

TEXT signature

Is it just me or any one else too. Seem like there is not feature to input my signature on texting. When I tap Menu/setting there is nothing for signature. Any idea?

Using the stock text messaging app there is no option for a sig...try searching for apps in the market,you might find a third party app with a option for a sig....I use the stock app,so I can not recommend a good third party messaging app.

Handcent and Chomp are the two most famous text messaging apps try them out.

I've used both gosms and handcent. As far as looks go, gosms looks more polished. However, if you are having time stamp issues, go with handcent. Functionally, the two are very similar.

[Q] What's the best sms alternative app?

I am trying to find a better sms alternative to stock sms app.. I hate how they made the sms threads and the text field box so huge you can see anything when your typing..

I use GoSMS. It's highly customizable and there are tons of themes for it in the market. I can't give any advice in anything else since GoSMS does exactly what I need so I haven't tried any of the other ones.

go sms, hands down.

I always liked handcent, lots of options

Go sms and handcent are great. Go sms with the edge.

Go SMS all the way. Love the themes and free built in SMS backup feature

I'd have to say go brand is the best. Not just SMS wise but best screen lock and themes. Its kinda like a mini playstore

Didn't the go team steal people's private information?

Handscent. Go SMS has way too much clutter.

I am far an away best pleased with GO SMS. I have tried a few others, but GO SMS is IMHO opinion is the absolute best. It has the best theme options, and the pop-up is great!

Another vote for go SMS! Hands down the best I have tried. Like many others said tons of themes and so much customization!

well I have tried both Gosms and handcent, and they are both fast becomming bloatware, making them slower and slower IMHO..
currently using gosms as there no other really good one out there I can find, but I noticed tonight that it is now putting in more and more ads , so IF I can find one that lets me change the background AND NOT have those horrible bubbles in messages I will be moving away from gosms very fast.

+1 for go SMS. I used it when my MMS wasn't working on revolt ROM and it was the best I had tried.
