SMS replacement

I don't like the feel/look of the stock SMS app. Is there a better app that anyone recommends?

Try GO SMS and HANDCENT SMS... they are into the market for free!
And you can test it.

Used GO SMS and Handcent before as well as chompSMS in the early days of Android. Go SMS is probably my favorite. I just like the way it looks

i find pansi sms light on resources and quite full featured. check it out.

Chomp sms beats em all with quick compose and quick reply from anywhere. Can't beat it imo

[Q] What messaging app is everyone using?

The most popular are definetly Gosms and Handcent; but, apparently there was a trojan found in the most recent release of Gosms. I am currently using the stock messenger because of its simplicity (don't like a messy interface) and I want to change. Handcent and Gosms are both too complicated for me, sure I like options but not 1000+ options. What's a simple, fast, and good messenger app that uses very little ram (preferably less than stock). Yes I know, you don't need to worry about ram with android;however, I worry about it regardless.

I'm using stock for now. Hopefully go SMS fixes real or false positive Trojan. Handcent 4.0 suppose to be coming out guess I'll be trying that soon.

I used to use GoSMS on my HTC phones since stock HTC messaging looks like no one tried on it lol, but on this one I'm definitely sticking to the stock messaging app.

I personally prefer hand cent been using it since mytouch 3g days

I use ChompSMS. I tried Handcent and GoSMS. I didn't like them.

Anyone else have an issue with the stock messaging app -always- sending delivery report notifications, even which not checked in the menu settings?
Every message I send, comes back with another notification saying "Delivered"
Annoying, and I can't figure it out.

Are you guys able to use picture messaging on handcent sms? I deleted stock app cuz I never use it and after deleting stock sms app, MMS doesn't work on handcent sms

GoSMS. You can customize it to almost look like the ICS stock sms.

I prefer the cm7 stock with ics theme, its easy to do and it works great with spoofed SMS... why would you spend time customizing when you could just change the theme to look like ics???

I thought handcent uses their own mms settings... you should check the settings within handcent.

Whatsapp messenger... funny icons/no mms problems/sent via data so good for international/roaming.
Of course, the person your texting has to have it installed too...

i use handcent..fully customized ..different fonts and themes...many options with pop ups...i tried them all i keep going back to it..lol..

Can you post the CM7 sms app?

I'm using the stock messenger app. My favorite is handcent though. My past phones were all HTC's and a Dell Streak so I found a better one than those stock apps but I don't mind using the stock one. I will probably be looking into changing it though pretty soon.

The stock one is pretty cool.

I use handcent. I love stock ics messaging. I want it!

Has anyone tried Pansi?

Looks cool and not bloated.

I have been using Handcent for years now. Simply because the customization of notifications. That way I usually mute the twitter updates that are forwarded to my phone, but when someone else msg me, I can hear the notification sounds.

[Q] Group texts in CM10's Stock SMS app

Apparently you can't send texts to groups in the messaging app of CM10? If it's there I can't find it. I mean I can find groups in the contacts app, but can't send any of them texts.
Edit...this started as a question but after no answers, I'm left to assume group texting is not possible with the stock CM10 SMS app. Anyone recommend Handcent or Go SMS on CM10?

Update...a great workaround from Elixis...a free app ChompSms. It's icon even looks almost like the stock. Love it so far. Be sure to also get the free emoji add on for Chomp. It has over 400 symbols.

What messaging app are you using?

I was using go sms than sliding messaging.
Loved the quick sms on sliding but as laggy. So I switch back to stock tw
I loved go sms because of the emoticons.

ive had really bad experiences texting people with iPhones. they dont receive go sms apps that well. (unless theyre JB) which sucks cause a ton of people have iPhones.
personally i use the native SGS3 messaging app, or line app for my family overseas. (its free! )

Gosms pro, there is some things i dont like about it but I haven't been very impressed with other SMS apps. I use the stock SMS app at times to send pictures over wifi calling but that's about it

I use the stock messaging app with SMS Popup... Works fine for me. I like that I can respond to texts without unlocking my device (although that could be a bad thing for security - but then again, I just use swipe to unlock anyway since I guard my phone like Fort Knox).

Best SMS app

I've been using the stock app for SMS messaging on my Nexus 4 for the last year. Am I missing out? Is there something better? If its better, why?
Thanks,
Jon

8sms download it on play store. It's almost the same as stock messaging app but with added features such as quick reply option by cm and inverted messaging ui.

Well first i think this is the wrong place to put this, but ok.
Second, you have a lot, try Go SMS pro or Textra sms, is cool.
In the last days i´m using mysms , is cool , and you can send sms via your pc.
But if anyone know any better than this ones please tell us

8sms ftw!

If I use any of these apps, does it alter any of your data? i.e. can I use it, stop using it and there messages are still there but default back to the stock app?

Try Hello from the Play Store.

8sms (Stock Messaging, KitKat) :highfive:

8sms hands down.
I used to flash that app which was then called as the Modded mms.apk. Now it is available even for unrooted users on the Play Store. Amazing app.

Handcent SMS is great, fully customizable

Yes, afaik, you just have to install the new msg app and they will carry over the data. Unless you cleaned flashed your rom then you'll have to back up the xml. But you can do that with Titanium Backup or any other messaging backup app.

Not sure where you live, but SMS is the primary messaging tool in the US. Carrier agnostic, preloaded on every phone, and generally available in no-cost unlimited plans.
