Facebook Messenger SMS integration on CyanogenMod 10

Hey, is it possible ot have the SMS integration in the Facebook Messenger app on CyanogenMod 10 on the Galaxy S3 T999? That would be a greatly useful feature.

If you mean by porting the touchwiz apps over, probably not going to happen.
Id do some extensive searching on xda though. Maybe someones modified a universal app that will do something similar. No idea if anyone has though.

Well the FB messenger app does this by default for certain phones such as the Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Nexus. However I think for the S3 you need the stock messaging app or something for it to work. Just wondering if anyone could fool it into thinking cyanogenmod's messaging app is the default

Group MMS and Other Hidden Gems in Android 4.2 (on a Galaxy Nexus)

Well, There's a working Group MMS option in the stock messenger. Oh my GOD is this great! :good:
Anyone else find anything worth reporting?
Miracast is obviously not included on the GNex ROM as I doubt it has the hardware to support it.

I'm not sure if it was there before but I noticed that you can disable system apps now. Just go to Settings -> Apps -> All and select an app from there. If its a system app, the "Uninstall" option becomes "Disable". In my case I'm not using Currents and Google Talk so I had them disabled. Now they are hidden and don't show up in the App Drawer.
*EDIT: NVM. Apparently "its been there since forever" as the guy below replied to me.
*EDIT2: Ok. I've read that the feature to "disable" system apps was slightly improved in 4.2. Before, you need to uninstall updates first before you can disable a system app. Now you can disable system apps directly without the need of uninstalling the updates first. That was the reason I thought disabling system apps is new in 4.2. When I was in 4.1.x I just see the "Uninstall Updates" button.

It's in Settings > Display and the options are Clock, Colours, Currents, Photo Frame, Photo Table (this is very nice and interactive).
You also have the following options for when to daydream; while docked, while charging and either.

I was just going to post about this. Lol.
I think there are minor aesthetic changes, as well. When you are in messaging, compose a message and are choosing a recipient from your contacts there is now shading underneath the box with the recipient. I don't think this was in 4.1.2 or lower. The font also seems a little bolder in the messaging threads, most notably for me with the font being set to small.

Does the group messaging work with other platforms (iPhone, Blackberry, WP7/8)? In other words, did they finally decide to bake in threaded MMSes into 4.2?

What app is everyone using for sms?

Just curious to see what people are using besides the stock app.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317

I came from an iphone and always used bitesms so when I got my gn2 I went straight for chompsms. It's really all I know but I love it.

Just got my Note2 yesterday and I'm still using the stock one for now. I'm trying to turn my GN2 into a Nexus, so I'm looking for an SMS app that is as close to the Vanilla Android SMS as possible.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

i personally prefer go SMS purely because of the crazy theming features + private box

Can you send pictures with GO sms? I heard it just sends a link?

ChompSMS, I love how it renders picture messaging to full screen. Opposed to the stock which looks more like a thumbnail. GOSMS was to convoluted with options/themes for my liking.

Go SMS, been using them forever. You can send pictures, but sometimes I have problems with that. Only since I rooted my phones though. It gives me an error message, something along the lines of exceeding my file size limit. I just used the stock messenger to send mms/pictures.

I am very happy with stock... first time I've ever been able to say that. Prior to that, I used GoSMS and Handsent on all of my other devices. I forgot which one of the two I settled on. I want to say GoSMS was the better of the two IMO.

GoSMS here for years and I've been happy with it.

Stock sms app with sms pop up. Great combo and I am very pleased.

Using the stock for now

If you look hard enough in the settings you can change the max size to send and stop it from shrinking your pictures. But like I said before if you see d through go SMS and the received doesn't have go it comes up as a link

In sound options theres a setting for vibration intensity and pattern also on the contacts app theres options for making vibrations specifically for a contact. I think there might be a limited amount though.

It doesn't. I think it's from an older version of AOKP. I'm not really sure where it's from. I found it in the themes and mods section under a similar thread.
Edit: I'm using the APK from here and then follow the instructions here
And this recently up in Themes/Mod sections might help

I don't like the vibrate options because when selecting vibrate in the SMS app, it vibrates in sound mode and vibrate mode. I only want it to vibrate in vibrate mode like my GS3 did on ICS.

For those using Go SMS, can you confirm if Go SMS sends you push ads in your messages? When I tried Go SMS I got a spam sms from them.

Stock message...for now.

Confirmed on stock official at&t ROM. If a video call is ended before the other person answers phone stops responding and has to be powered down. My Nexus 7 does not appear to have the same issue though so let's hope the update comes soon.

I hate this new app. It's sluggish, resource hungry and overall adds nothing to good old Gtalk.

I have rolled out the update and will never install it again.

Aye, me too. But I'm afraid soon Google will force us to migrate to it...just like "Google Settings" appeared in the app drawer without asking for it, Hangouts is gonna replace Talk. :-/

Hangouts has already replaced talk, and I personally think it's loads better, if only more people used it I would definitely consider it a possible whatsapp replacement.
I don't have any issues with the app as some of you have experienced. (xperia s with jb .197)
The real question is, what will happen to g+ messenger? As we now have 2 messaging apps from Google.

It has replaced it, yeah, but you can still use the old Gtalk if you want.
G+ messenger will be gone with the new G+ update.

I used google talk a lot for work, so was kind of worried about this change overall...as i don't use G+ for anything (nor fb for that matter), but also liked how google talk on my phone, and gmail's browser conversation thing sync'd easily...
as far as the android hangouts app, whatever...it works, didn't really care what it looked like...but i will say the chrome extension for hangouts is much better than how gmail integrated. I can now have any number of my work/home machines connected to hangouts without having gmail opened. Not sure if this is how G+ worked before, as I wasn't going to bother using that.
I'm still learning it...but also prefer how hangouts doesn't seem to be archived into gmail automatically...you can set it up to do that, but it doesn't just default to dumping a pointless 3 line conversation into 'all mail'...I know you were able to change all that with google talk, just didn't feel like messing with it.
So whatever in my case...its definitely not worse for me. The bigger problem still is, and always will be, the trends of what people use. I still get numerous fb messages a week despite it being obvious that i'm never on there...then border line threats for ignoring someone haha.

Nexus 7 Kit Kat email replacement

Ok, so ever since kit kat update, the stock email app has become completely useless. The drag and drop feature has been removed and now I cannot delete not move my emails.
My question is what alternatives are worth looking into. I'm dabbling with Aquamail, but it is so focused on multiple accounts that it's features are driving me crazy. Is there anything out there that can match the old stock email app or should I give up on managing my email on my tablet?
