Has anyone found the stock messaging app to be a little laggy and choppy?
Yes, and I hate it.
Sent from my SGS3!
I really like the simplicity of it but the lag is annoying.

Just got my S3 today and noticed that..wish they'd fixed it the rest of the phone is really fast
I've noticed it does it when you have a lot of texts. I still prefer the stock one though, because it's integrated with my lockscreen.

That's why I prefer to use it as well. I wish you could still get the lockscreen notification with a 3rd party app like GO SMS.

I just installed my first ICS rom and love almost everything about it...
Except I hate the new 3 tab dialer. By removing contacts and groups from the top it forces me to use both the phone and contacts apps, which takes up another slot on my dock. I hate this.
Is there a GB phone.apk/contacts.apk or something that can allow me to run the old contacts.apk or phone.apk in ICS?
I have tried the 3rd party dialers such as dialer one, exdialer, go dialer, etc. I dislike all of them. They seem buggy and laggy and I don't like the kiddy look of most of them. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks
This bothered me at first too, but I realized that it does have a spot for all your contacts.
If your opening the phone, click on the tab for your favorites. Then scroll down past them and you should see your full contact list appear with the ability to quick search through them. It's a little different depending if your on a touchwiz or AOSP ROM but the functionality is still there in both. This solved my need for having a separate contacts app in the dock.

I too am unimpressed with the ICS dialer and contacts. i would love to keep the ICS blue theme and the actual keypad, but go back to the GB tab configuration. is anybody working on this?
I, agree as well, i would like to use the dialer and swype keyboard from strongsteves odex blu GB Rom. Does anyone know how to do this?

Yeah, my wife loves everything ICS on her Skyrocket, except for the dialer. She still prefers the GB dialer. Anyone know a way to get that ported?
I am using Go dialer but my problem is that it takes a while to make a phone call. When I select a contact it takes like 3 or 4 seconds to engage.
Any suggestions
thanks
wow no dev interest?
ICS dialer sucks.
I've searched for days, but I cant find anything on how to install the Samsung txt msging app on the ICS, ive tried downloading it n it wont install n ive tried pushing it too n wont work.
I hate the ICS msging app, so i use another app to txt, but i really like the Samsung txt msging app, is that possible? im sure it is.

don't think you gonna get the "Samsung" one to install. sounds like maybe you on an aosp rom? "Samsung" app = touchwiz app. you need a touchwiz based rom. I suggest trying out gosms. its an amazing messaging app IMHO.
Or handcent. That is the one I have been using and I think it is perfect for me.

Question for those with gosms. Can it show text and the thread similar to the touchwiz messaging app in landscape? Really love that feature and it's something that Hand cent (which I've always been a fan of) lacks.
Thanks

Edit: Just downloaded GoSMS and found it does not have the landscape functionality of the Touchwiz messaging app. Kind of surprised neither GoSms nor Handcent have done these with 4.6"+ screen sizes becoming the norm and ample screen real-estate allowing for such functionality.

An inverted app has a dark background and light text instead of having a light background and dark text.

ooh ok, cool
I'm currently running AOKP's JB ROM and I'm trying to make a list of the things that are TouchWiz exclusive that I wish would be part of any original ROM. And so I turn to you good people so get a feel for what I might be missing.
Here's what I have:
The ability to slide left or right over a contact to call or send a text. Love that
I really like the messenging app. Clean and simple. Very fast and responsive.
What else am I missing?

Plus tons of other things I'm forgetting to mention!
Currently on Blazer Rom 1.7 LG8 for Samsung Galaxy S III

Yup so now I'm Strong Steve's Odexed Blue and I'm loving it. I keep the awesome features but get all the mods and awesome goodness. Strong Steve is constantly updating this ROM, so you should all check it out. Especially if you love the color blue.

I think people just hate touchwiz JUST to hate touchwiz. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with the TW calendar app. I actually prefer to use the TW calender widget
i was hoping stock calender would let me "tap" at, say, 9:30 and set that as my starting time for an event so that I didnt have to tap at 9, edit the starting time to 9:30, edit the ending time to 4:30, and THEN save. Its just a couple less clicks, but its about the efficiency of the matter. Also, the default brown-ish color scheme is horrid.

I actually LIKE TouchWiz, believe it or not (more than Vanilla since owning an S3), but I don't like the calendar. The Widgets are pretty cool, I'll admit, but the app itself feels cluttered and sluggish.
I got really tired of waiting for Samsung to release the JB update for my Bell Canada S3 and installed Task's AOKP ROM. I love the ROM and prefer the stock Google experience but miss some of the cool features Samsung added, mainly the ability to show the status bar in a fullscreen apps such as a game. Here is a video for those that don't know about this feature.
I have always been annoyed that i had to press the home button and exit out of my game/video to answer a text, change songs or whatever else might pop up on the notification bar and found myself using this allot when i got the S3, switch to AOKP i needed this back. Its just so simple and i'm surprised its not a native feature in Android.
But thankfully there is an app for that called Smart Statusbar which works well on my S3 and its free. I have tried this in MX Player and all my ga,mes like Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Dead Trigger etc and it works on all.
TIP: Swipe from the bezel down and not from the top of the touch screen.
Thanks for the info. I am downloading the app now and going to try it out.
this was one of the features i missed the most coming from iOS to android.
Thank you very much!
Nice find!

Hopefully not a huge necropost, but this feature actually wasn't removed.
You have to swipe TWICE in stock TW. I used this app for a while before discovering it here:

I'd have fewer apps installed, but to each his own.
