Is there an universal messaging app like blackberries have, where all ur txts, emails, and instant messages come to the same place? Something similar?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Yup.. Try Kik. Messenger. kik(dot)com
Kik doesn't do email and text in the inbox of the app..only kik messages
Whatsapp

Lol. Guys, it might be hard but it's worth actually reading what the OP wants before you blindly reply.
@OP: AFAIK, there is no unified or universal messaging solution on Android that supports IM,SMS etc..
Try pure messanger app. I get notified for everything with it and it has an awesome widget to.

^^Correct me if I am wrong, but that is not an App. It is just a widget.
Whatsapp can do that for you.

Hey guys,
I was really wondering.. What mail app do you use?
I previously always used the Gmail app, but since I got my HoX 3 months ago I only use the mail app, because of a better ui and usability, imho.
Do you use Gmail, Mail or an other app for your mail services? Tell us and discuss why!

For my gmail account I use gmail. For my work exchange account I use HTC's Mail app. I like them both and have never tried another mail app (don't like the idea of entering my account info in a third party app).

For Gmail I use the native app.
For my personal email, I used to use K9-Mail but have now switched to MailDroid.

Blackberry allows for a combined mailbox for push email (not just gmail), text messages, twitter notifications, facebook messages, etc. I cannot find a solid replacement for Android.
just wondering if theres any app or mod anyone knows that can do this?
Only separate apps available for each function:
Facebook for Facebook
Email app for email accounts
Messaging for SMS... etc

Also if you need group text messaging to BlackBerry and Apple devices, may I suggest Handcent SMS. You'll have to set it as your primary MMS application.

Developers are getting closer, but it's still not quite there yet. Try Streamlife in the play store. It's a work in progress, but a great app to follow for what you're looking for.

Honestly this is the ONLY good thing I can say about BlackBerry and I wish it was implemented that well in Android. From browsing through the settings, it looks like Go SMS Pro *may* have the capability. I'm kind of assuming they will make you sign up for all their services though...

I've been using Facebook Messenger for SMS for a while... then all of the sudden it's stopped working.. maybe cause I installed Paranoid Android, but are you guys having this issue?
I have to admit I went to the dark side for a while and the only thing I miss is imessage. I wish I could find a cross platform app to send all my SMS through that would try to use data connection app first but then drop down and send an SMS if the other person did not have the same app. Anyone know of an app like this? It would need to work between iOS and Android.

Well, if the receiving party do not have whatsapp, they won't appear in whatsapp's contact list
Here's a quick list:
Viber
Whatsapp
GoSMS Chat
The closest thing you can get to your concern is probably GoSMS Chat. Though if iOS has GoChat, I can't really tell. Viber has both iOS and Android versions, so you can use that too.
I feel you man, I was always on a Android, then decided to switch to iOS just to check it out, got hooked with iMessage but I just can't live with the closed OS of Apple. So I got a GNex and never looked back
My friends and I just use Google+ Messenger app. Half of my friends have iPhones and other hand Android. We just use G+ to group chat. Works great.

App

Emoji Plug-in
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra.emoji
Its in the Play Store why you so hype?
Well I've spent countless hours trying to get a good sms app. I've tried them all Go SMS, Chomp SMS (Same Developers BTW), Handcent, AOSP Messaging, Etc... and they tend to get laggy at some point or lack group messaging or both. In other words i'm just trying to share my happiness.
You Welcome.

I would say facebook messenger would definitely be 2nd best in my opinion. I dont like the loading time on it besides that it is filled with features. Textra is just so quick and it just works. By the way anyone who likes the facebook messenger notification bubbles should look into Ninja SMS. Textra and Ninja SMS work great together.
Seems great. Am i just missing something though? The description in the play store says it is semi customizable. I don't see any customization options besides the color of the default icon when a message is received.
Edit: re read the description and everything makes sense now. I thought they had theme options and stuff. Oh well! I'm definitely keeping this app and waiting for their next update. Thanks

Just tried this, haven't found anything as good as Sliding Messaging yet though. It's got three different layouts and the emoji are so much better.
Just tried it and it missing a lot that handcent has. Customize options. Also does not have any themes to it. I think in a few months after a lot of feedback it might be good
We chat is cool with the audio messaging

Thank you for sharing. I actually installed it and it works so far so.good now. Group text is flawless. Much faster than stock Message app.

This kind of annoys me because I paid for Chomp.... Why not just integrate the features. Oh, I know! Let's make a new app to get more money if and when we make it a paid app.... Maybe?
I like sliding messaging.

I like the fact that it has emoji integration but the app itself looks hideous. It's attempt at trying to be holo looks like a crossbreed between sense and gingerbread. Nonetheless it works fine.

Differences between Textra and Chomp?

Textra seems like a simplified version of Chomp. With the swipe to return to conversation list. You can't change the colors of the chats.
Has anybody tried Invi?

What text messaging application do you use?
And why?
I personally keep stuff stock. If I use gpe I use hangouts if I use sense I use sense. I like keeping the same experience and change back and forth from gpe then to sense
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
for sms i use evolve, for messenger, i use telegram.
why? evolve works and has a nice ui. telegram because it's a very nice messenging app that offers both cloud messenging (meaning your conversation stay in cloud as to access via computer, phone, tablet) or self-destructing messages. also, comfortable after reading their privacy policy.

its a secret! I am so sorry.
Textra. Fast and no fuss but plenty of options.
And so it was
Hangouts
Hangouts because I have several friends and we join groups on top of using sms.
Hangouts still remains sluggish, though the interface is admittedly nice.
Recently, I've been trying out Hello SMS and like it a lot. Fast, sleek and very pretty to look at.
The real question is WHEN IS HANGOUTS incorporating Google Voice?!
Textra the best of them all
