Is there any app thats equivalent to iphone's irealsms. I really wish i could reply to txt without closing the window thats currently open.
Also, I could send a quick txt by hitting the volume button on iphone that was really convenient.
And lastly, could send txt without having to unlock the screen.
So far, rooted the phone and LOVE it. Everything is awesome for me except for the txting feature. Thanks in advance. (I did try searching btw)
Try contapps.
Market Link
try chompsms it has a pop-up just like the iphone and you can setup how you want to reply also it has a quick SMS function that you can long press the search button to create a new SMS its what I use and love it.

Exactly what I was looking for (chompsms) Thanks!!
I lied, almost perfect. Or is there some secret way to send mms on it too?
Handcent does the same as well. I prefer it over Chomp.
i use GO SMS Pro, simply the best
Now that I've tried all 3... There's things I like about each one but also things I dont' like.
I think Chomp fits me the best though. 2 things to make it perfect for me would be to get rid of ads(easily done) but more importantly, be able to send mms in the quick compose bubble. Otherwise, Thanks for helping me find something almost perfect!
on pretty sure if you long press in the entry feild it brings up a menu for attachments

I dislike the SMS and Hancent text programmes.
I migrated from a Nokia E71 and prefer the simple SMS format
PLEASE PLEASE help as all I want is an app that will work and give me simple texts with an INBOX DRAFT SENT OUTBOX
can someone please help?
I cant think of any reason you want to do that - non-threaded convos were one of the bigger reasons I got rid of my E71
But to answer your question, I have np idea if such sms replacer app exists :-[

Definitely agree, wen I first saw the threaded verson I thought wtf is this n how do I turn it off!! But within a day of using it, I realised its the best improvement to sms that I've seen in a LONG time. Stick with it and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks for that but I also had an Iphone which I hated.
I am familiar with 'conversations' but whatever anyone else thinks I prefer the old system and find the thread way confusing and annoying!
I want a simple INBOX SENT OUTBOX
I may have a 2 week old Desire for sale if not

lol your not serious about selling your desire just because it has as default the conversation sms style?
look in the market maybe theres something for you, if not then get used to it cuz it really isnt that hard and your probably 1 out of 100+ that doesnt like this style, and to be honest most of the phones these days have it that way anyway so might be a bit tough for you to replace the functionality of a desire with a different phone that has the 'old' sms style
btw. instead of having the simple INBOX SENT OUTBOX u got even simpler all in one. theres no need for outbox anyway
Wow... I can't believe that some people don't like conversation view. It saves so much time compared with flicking between the message I'm writing and the one I'm replying to!

You're not the only one. I also hated conversation view when I got my Hero, but got used to it eventually. I might look at creating an app to solve this problem (simple mind you, like an SMS reader rather than AIO)
I can understand you because when I receive sms from my girlfriend I prefer having an isolated message than a thread thats looks more like a chat ^^ search on the market for sms manager its a freeware

What I find annoying is the small space allocated to my text message as I'm entering it. Why not devote half a screen to it so I can see my whole message as I type it? Sometimes I type a long sentence and the start has scrolled off, so i only notice mistakes after i've sent them.

I hope you will create an app?
The more & more I use texts the more & more I am tempted to switch back to my Nokia E71
OK instead of people telling this guy he's crazy for not loving it let's attempt to be more helpful in a practical sense.
What is it in particular you find confusing about a threaded conversation? Give me an example of a use case where having your messages organised in this way is less than suitable. Maybe if we clear up the confusion you'll find it easier.

well if you do go back to the E71 dont ever upgrade your phone because as far as i know all phones are using this new conversation style sms system now even the new nokias so i would try and get used to it if i were you.
Hey folks,
I've been able to get by, copy pasting using a long press. But I've noticed that it doesn't work in a number of areas. I had trouble with the native email (not gmail) app. I want to copy a tracking number from the email, but there's no way to do it. I even tried to reply and fwd the email to make the text editable... but no luck.
Long pressing in the email app seems to highlight the text, but no options come up, and the menu button gives me irrelevant settings.
It seems that there is no hardware shortcut or hotkey to copy and paste! This is terrible and so inconvenient.
Does anyone know a way to program the quick keys to perform cut, copy and paste maneuvers? I imagine it would be pretty simple to do. It would finally make good use of those 3 crummy keys.
Thanks

I have no trouble copying from my email... you long press, drag the highlight across your desired text, and then tap quickly... a toast messages appears saying that it was copied to the clipboard...
What ROM are you using?
Edit: Ah, I see you're also running CM7. You should have the capability.

I can copy/paste from gmail without issue by long pressing. But it won't work from the email app that I use for my yahoo account.

Yeah, I can copy/paste from my non-gmail email application too. Mine is AOL, but really it should not matter... that's weird it doesn't work you... lemme try something...
I just tried copying in gmail and it works the same as my other email...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bp.android.zarrow
maybe this can help you, it adds a possibility to have hardware copy/paste shortcuts
MENU+A -> select/deselect all
MENU+C -> copy selected
MENU+V -> paste
Thank you for the replies!
I figured it out. The problem I had was that I couldn't perform the copy function in the native email (not gmail) app. I managed to select the text with a long press, but there was no way to copy it to my clipboard... or so I thought. Turns out pressing the trackpad once the text is selected copies it!
And thanks for the app suggestion. I was rooting around the dev guide hoping to map the quick keys to cut, copy and paste. That would make good use of them
EDIT: Sorgo, I can't seem to download that app. Oddly enough I can't download most apps recently because the market claims my device is not compatible. This happened not too long ago. I'm on CM7 #220 running 2.3.7. I thought it was because I had changed my resolution in my build.prop file, but even with a default build.prop, I can't download a thing. Any suggestion there?

I managed to download Z Arrow. I will test it out tomorrow, thank you.
I went back to my default build.prop at 240 lcd density and cleared the market cache. By the way, neither of this two things alone ever worked for me, but together it seems to do the trick and fix the incompatibility issue I mentioned earlier.

Hey guys - Quick question here. One of the things iPhones (blah, I know) do when sending a text to multiple people is to convert it to MMS. I use Handcent, so I can go into Message Details and see the numbers it was sent to. My question is, is there any way I can reply to all? I try to long press on the message thread, but that option doesn't seem to be there.
One feature that would be great would be a mapping of the numbers to contacts, and it would just be numbers if the contact didn't exist in your directory, but that's not the issue.
Quick bump for a brotha?
There are apps that handle multi messages like that. I'm sure they exist probably on account of the stock msg app lacking in functionality. I cant remember the name of the app though.

I currently use Handcent, so I was hoping there would be something in there, but if there is, I haven't found it yet. Thanks for the reply. Anyone else??!! This must be possible...
Didn't know where else to ask this so I'm trying here... My wife has a iPhone.. I can send emoji's to her with no problem but when she sends them to me, all I get is black diamonds with question marks... Anybody know how to fix this? I'm current using handcent but I tried go sms and the same results... Any help would be appreciated.

This was covered previously. Follow the instructions about the emoji part, and you should be good to go dude.
Go SMS works fine. I also have a stock SMS app that allows for iPhone compatibility if you don't want any other app besides stock. Both work fine, but you have to enable group messaging in go SMS.
Flash this in twrp and go into your settings afterwords to make sure group messaging is enabled for your stock messaging.

I asked the same questions and while back. Check out here and here. I am currently using the second one and it works like a charm. It uses the new updated Google Hangout emojis.
Thats the one I gave him. I just uploaded it to my drop box to make things easier.

If you use Google voice, that can cause an issue as well because it can't process the emojis as the text gets routed through Google
heeeeyyy i've tried other apps to see the emoji there's no one work if you just installed the emoji keyboard or something like that , but one last think i tried its very2 awesome , , ,i just download a font pack on playstore and use the one of that font , voilllaaaaaaaaa you cant send or see emoji from iphone to your android phone :laugh:
thanks , best regards
I looked for a similar thread and I couldn't find anything. I dont know if its rom specific or maybe a setting I missed somewhere.
I'm Military and I often get group texts from 10+ people at a time. I'm running Slimkat 4.0 release. Now I get the texts which is great but I get them all individually. Instead of all on one text. So I have multiple numbers texting me from one group and It's hard to know who was the original sender to reply. Is there a setting I happened to miss or is this something that I can fix through some help. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
There might be some settings there in the message app, but I have never used that ROM to be honest.. Textra works really well with group messaging however, you might want to give it a try!

I downloaded it and I'll give it a try. Seems to fit my needs for the "inverted" type. Hopefully its the app and Textra will fix it. Thank you.

You're welcome just remember if one of the recipient's SMS app doesn't support group texting, you'll still receive the messages individually, but only for those recipient's replies
