I just got my e4gt and I thought I saw some phone with it in the messaging app have a custom skin/look. Like a theme for the texting app? I dont see anything like that at all. just curious as if its possible and how?
I use GO SMS PRO currently, and have used HANDCENT in the past. Both have customizable setting that allow you to change just about any part of the app to look exactly how you want it.
Hope that helps.
I use handcent its awesome

Good Morning all,
I am looking for an app that allows me to preview an SMS msg on the lockscreen. I know that the stock msgr can do it, but prefer to use Go msgr. Is there an addition apparently out there were I can do this? I googled but SMS popup came up but that's not what I want.
Thanks
Try flyscreen.

Handscent does this.
I hate the stock messaging app. I don't really like Handcent, except that it has the "Iphone" look and makes text conversations go side to side. Is it difficult to drop another messaging app in as the stock messaging app? I would love to see more ROMs(mostly Ava because that is what I generally run) use another messaging app. Thanks for your time.

No its not hard. Thats why the rom devs don't do it. It lets everyone go choose what app they would like. Also some of the sms apps require the original messaging to still be installed... which makes it harder.
I would try go sms. LOTS of themes, and options.

I did not know that some messaging apps require the stock messaging app. I would think that when you have to programs doing the same thing, the phone is not being as efficient as possible. How can someone replace the stock messaging app with a new one? I don't want to use an app in conjunction with another app and disable the original, I want to get rid of the original.
Two ways....
Either break open the rom and delete out the apps you don't want before flashing. Or, install app you want then go in and delete (not disable) the original app using appropriate file manager program.
I am using the SMS unread count widget and i like this app a lot. but i would prefer to launch either GO sms or handcent sms whenever i launch the app, instead of launching the stock SMS.
I've tried to clear default from stock SMS but there is still no option for me to select the program which i like to set as default.
any idea on this??
use go launcher ex and this get go launcher ex notifier, just seems like a very easy way to do what u want the way u say u would like it and it seems the 2 would compliment one another as well.

i want to know as well... i tried to clear the default app but strange thing is for stock Messaging "default" is greyed. so i can't even clear it..but i would like to open GoSms through sms unread count :s
Anyone? Use SMS Count to open Go SMS so we can get an SMS counter on Widgetlocker screen, but use Go SMS as primary SMS.
Bump
Having the exact same problem... Also tried Missed it, but the same thing happens...
Seems this widget has other issues if you read the reviews. I have handcent and it has its own widget that does basically the same thing I believe. Just shows the icon with a number of unread messages? I am betting Go SMS has its own widget too but wouldn't know as I don't use it.
True, I use Go SMS, and its widget, but I'd prefer SMS Unread Count for its ability to pick any icon... The Go SMS widget has a choice of three integrated icons which I'm not really fond of...
Is there any way I can see emoji on my phone, sadly I have many friends that are iPhone owners

Chomp sms and go sms both have emoji add on packs. I know for a fact chomp works between iphone. Also if you do decide to use a third party and make sure to go into your normal one and open settings. You want to turn notifications off so you dont get double.

Handcent also has them.
Yea but im talking bout to show it on my phone it only shows squares lol

Download and install the Emoji smiley faces that come in a prepackaged theme.
You can find those in Go SMS Pro, by default or from within the Go Store that allows you to locate and install add-ons directly from within the application.

Yeah,don't hold your breath. It works off and on and becomes broken everytime ios gets updated. I have an ipod I know. Then it takes months for devs to update it on Android.
It sucks I want to see what iPhone owners experience with emoji but since I can't see the emoji I can't since i can't see it.. lol

I have Handcent SMS installed with emoji addon and keep notifications turned off. I use stock messaging app mostly but when someone sends an emoji text (blank or those boxes) I just look at it with handcent. I have used it for about a year and never had an issue with it.
try out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093197
i also just use handcent sms addon pack to send emoji
those steps will allow you to see emoji on your phone only downside is that emoji is black and white and not in color but it works. ive tested it on twitter and words with friends should be able to see emoji in any app.
hope this helps.
** correct dl link to the fonts is on page 9 posted by djcrapsody**
They already showed you how.
Get go SMS pro.then get the go SMS pro emoji plugin and use go SMS pro. Done. Works fine 100% of the time.
Btw you're not missing anything. Its really effing dumb.

HI, got the kitkat 4.4.2 on my 9195 4G LTE and the stock sms app has added some stupid contact icons next to every message you send or get. I know its a small thing but IT REALLY REALLY ANNOYS ME! Add that to the stupid txt and call alerts that appear on the lock screen... well I really wish it was on 4.1.2 like my old S3.
Well to combat the lock screen rubbish I rooted and used an Xposed module to disable the alerts.
Now the SMS app, does anyone know if the stock ANDROID sms app has the message icons? Or is this a samsung thing?
If the stock android hasn't got these message icons then can I remove the samsung version and install the android stock sms app? (If so where would i get it)
If not, does anyone know how to remo e the message icons? And I have tried other sms apps and don't care for them.
Thanks

At least on Cyanogenmod 10.1, the icons are there as well. I would bet dollars to donuts it is on the AOSP one too (as CM wouldn't have touched too much of this app form the AOSP original).
But I can fire up my AVD's and check out AOSP for you, even look as to what version the profile photos were added.
