Has anyone had good experience with a aftermarket text ap? I've tried heaps and dont like them. The stock app jumbles my texts all up so im trying to find a better one.
Handcent is what I use. It is quite nice allowing different tones for different people for example.

If you must have the stock messaging app, use SMS popup from the market. Free and does what you need. Otherwise, use Handcent.
So far handcent is working about 50 times better than that stock usless text. Thanks!

Is it just me or any one else too. Seem like there is not feature to input my signature on texting. When I tap Menu/setting there is nothing for signature. Any idea?
Using the stock text messaging app there is no option for a sig...try searching for apps in the market,you might find a third party app with a option for a sig....I use the stock app,so I can not recommend a good third party messaging app.

Handcent and Chomp are the two most famous text messaging apps try them out.
Just wondering if anyone has any idea how to add a sig to the end of a text. Is there like an app you can install that adds the option to the stock messaging app?

I've tried handcent before but I personally prefer the stock app. I was just hoping there was some other way.

+1 handcent
Handcent>(menu soft botton)>Settings> Send message settings> Enable signature
but i will tell you that the extra features in handcent are a little buggy in the epic..on both 2.1.1 and 2.2.1
Chomp sms is good on the epic.

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 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..

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!

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.

GoSMS w/ the emoji plugin.
I heard you get a lot of spam with that app?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I get a message or two month. Usually about a new theme they've added or some feature they've updated. Nothing intrusive, or annoying and its usually just a notification in that app that is quickly deleted.
I've been using it for about a year.

I like handcent...not sure what the downsides are to handcent compared to the others. I did try gosms a while back and wasn't impressed. I could give it another shot though.
I really don't have a lot of requirements for a messaging app. I don't do groups or advanced messaging. Even so, I find the stock messaging app extremely unappealing and not adequate for my minor needs.
Handcent here. Been using it since my original Droid days I think. Just fell in love with it. The only other messaging app that I didn't much mind was the stock one on my Galaxy Note 2, but I've since fallen back to the familiar. I find it functional and customizable enough for my tastes.

Handscent here as well... with the group messaging plug-in... got rid of the Emoji plug-in due to it messing with my MMS for some reason... maybe a combination of the two... Main reason I got Handscent was the color customization to match my theme.
I have been using Trillian since the before android. It has been the best way to monitor all my IMs. Different customers all like different IM services and this way I could cover them all.

Default. I used to use go but it got too bloated for my liking and then they disabled backing up of sms to local storage and pushed their cloud backup.

I tried most mostly because there seems to be a growing requirement for emoji. pffft.
All non stock apps except for chomp scroll very poorly when moving and reading through the messages: go, handsent, etc. Chomp is the only one that scrolls smoothly. However, I cannot attach pics or vids - it crashes. contacting the developer said "fixing hopefully in a week" until then I just use stock app o if I need to send a mms. I'd use the stock app but its emoji is very limited. always a compromise isn't it?
Pansi SMS nice simple interface. I use my backup root to save MMS and sms

Thought I was the only one on this. I've been using bitesms on Iphones for years so I've been so used to it, so when I jumped ship and go with the GN2 naturally I had to find somethign similiar. You're right about mms though, but I use stock sms app for that purpose, so chompsms all the way.
Go sms with emoji plug in. Like all the different emojis. Also wife has iphone with ios6 and stock messaging wouldn't show pics of the emojis on her phone. Go sms shows with no problem.

Just wanted to give you guys an update. I have been using chomp sms for the past couple of days and love it. It's not as flashy as go sms is with themes but it make up for it without the constant text messages they send you. I also donated to the dev which got rid of the adds so it almost feels like a stock app. Anyways its a really great app if any of you are interested.
