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.

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

You could use Go SMS which has some nice themes. You can find it here.
There are 5 themes pre installed. Open messaging app, press menu button, click setting and choose skin.

Does anyone know if we can download more themes/skins for the messaging app? and if so, where to get them?
Can you change the apps, or order of the default apps - phone, contact, messages, apps in the main screen at the bottom?
My phones is rooted and running stock rom. Thanks for any input.
Yup...which launcher are you using?

I am using stock. I just remembered that I can use ADW Launcher. I haven't used that app since the HTC HD2. When I switched the HTC sensation I used the stock launcher.
Yes u can just open up your drawer and press the menu button and click edit.it will ask u to switch to "customizable grid" hit switch and then u then can edit ur dock bar icons

Have you tried going into the app drawer>menu>edit and dragging an icon off and replacing it?

That's how you do it for sure, but you should try while on the homescreen long pressing the old msging app and see if you can drag it to remove. Then you can drag and drop the gv app in the open spot.The stock ics launcher allows you to do it that way so you don't have to go into the app drawer and then menu then edit. I'm not sure if the TW launcher can do that though. I haven't used that launcher since GB. I'd be curious to hear if you can.
The TW launcher won't let you, I just tried it.

And ya I double checked, it is Applications > Menu > Edit
It may tell you that you need to change the app drawer to customizable grid, just click ok.
This may be a stupid question but how do you manage the screens?, I'm trying g to have just one screen and delete the rest but I can't seem to find where I would be able to do that

You mean the number of home screens? Just use Nova launcher to edit to your preference

I was thinking that, but when using the navigational bar tweak, and you press the home button in it, it switches back to the default luncher and not nova, the ROM doesn't come with a default screen manager?

Press the menu button and then Manage apps. Go to All then scroll down to Launcher and select that. Once in there go down to Clear Defaults and select that. Press the home button then you'll be prompted to choose a default launcher, choose Nova. Done. When you start with a freshly installed ROM you have a choice of the stock launcher or Nova. The stock launcher doesn't have any customization, that's what you chose

Does anyone know a good SMS app that uses the holo design language? I've been using SMS Pro be am getting to the point that I dislike using apps that don't use the new (can it still be called "new") holo language. In some ways it shouldn't even matter because the Nexus devices can be flexible with their menu button. But I still dislike developers that make Android look old and dated
So I'm at the point where I've gone back to stock messenger but want (for example) a dark theme.
Does anyone have any ideas of a holo themed SMS app. (Holo themes for Go SMS Pro and Handcent don't count as the menu button is still in the wrong place.)
Here's a holo-themed stock messenger:

That's the one I use. Love it!
