One thing i would like to see in ROMS is Group Texting and Emoji. I see the new rom Liquid Smooth added group mms threading. Now is it possible to add Emoji throughout the phone like IPhones? Like i know i can download Chomp SMS or Go SMS and then download the emoji addon, but the emoji addon only works in the SMS app.. I cant use the Emojis for apps like instagram. Is that possible or do Devs have to port that into their ROMS? Thanks.

I second that! I'm a total noob at ROMs and stuff but I've been able to decompile the SecMms.apk and other system apps and I've discovered there is code for both threaded group mms and emojis. At this point I'm too noob to figure out what I need to do to enable at least the threaded group mms but I totally second this!
Bump please!
There was an emoji keyboard that developers were able to hack out of the jb codes. There was a zip uploaded to XDA, I had that a while ago. Basically when you want to type, you'd change to that JB emoji keyboard and there you have it! can post anywhere..

If its a group of friends, try kik or Voxer. That's what we use. They'd all need the app. There are some that work on all platforms too....not sure which.

Group texting is the standard for normal cell phone users and should of been included in android long ago. Bizzare that its not. Telling any friends I want to group chat with to install and sign up for some app is not the right or easy option.

its on every ROM in here except TW Roms they dont support it but you can see them if not then just download and app called Chomp sms and it replace you text app with that one and it has all the bells and whistles you want also if you do install make sure to uncheck the notifications on your stock messaging app so you dont get double the notify
I think Google added the code in JB 4.2 to natively support group messaging. The recent updates for the SG2 models won't do group threads. If you use a a 4.2 rom then it should already be in there without needing a secondary program. I'm running Slim and it works fine.

I need some help. I switched to a Rom without sense and have lost the ability to send out group text message. I need to be able to send out group texts for work. Do I have any options other than switching to a rom with sense?
Are you currently using the stock SMS that comes with the ROM?
Try one from the market, such as Handcent. It is free and offers group messaging options as well as many other things that the stock one may not.
I am using handcent. I need a messaging app that holds its own contact groups, not through Google as stock froyo does not pull up groups in the contacts list. Sense brought it up when I had a rom with sense.
I found an app called cintacts groupu that works.
this is the new release of GO SMS, the old GO SMS will be phased out

Emoji does not work
I have not tested it yet with people who DO have go sms pro,
but, when I send emoji to people who DON'T have go sms pro, they do not see the emoji I attach in the message, only the regular smileys
Edit: I just read again the market description of the emoji plugin. and indeed it is stated very clearly that the recipient should have go sms pro and the emoji plugin.
In my opinion this is totally useless.
One has to convince all of his contacts to install an app before one can use it properly
That's not the right way to implement new stuff.
Imagine you could not talk to someone unless he had your dialer application....
ridiculous

So you suggest they change the SMS-standard to implement their own type of smileys? Remember that SMS is only text, and it is the SMS-app reading the SMS that translates the text 'colon-paranthesis' to an image of a smiley-face.
Ridiculous...

I am not a developer and I don't have knowhow, but I know what sounds unreasonable.
It is very unreasonable to provide you with a tool that only works if your recipient has exactly the same tool.
Can you imagine having an sms app which messages could be read ONLY by people who had the same app? wouldn't you call that ridiculous and useless?
I don't see the difference

Has anyone else been experiencing issues with receiving MMS's when they were sent to a group? For example, if someone sends me a picture, with a few other people on the message, I won't get the message. The message will come through and just say "downloading" and I'll never get the picture.
When I get replies then, they are all individual texts instead of embedded in a group.
Thanks for any advice!
That's because androids stock messenger doesn't support group texting. You can send a group text but replies will always come back in individual threads...sorry

I was part of a group message last night that worked perfectly fine the way it should have. This was using CM10 so I don't know if they made changes to enable it.
I thought it was an iOS issue, when an iPhone sends a group message. Have always had problems receiving those.

I experienced the issues receiving group messages from everyone using either a Droid RAZR or Bionic....
I'm trying Handscent now to see if it works...but I like the stock UI much better....

Use GoSMS Pro, It's free on the market, and you can make it run in "Lite" mode, It will fully support iPhone Group texting. If you want to reply in the same group, Go to settings, Tap advanced at the top then Send settings > Check the box that says Group MMS chat.
If you want to go into "Lite" Mode, go into the settings and change the running mode. It will still allow you to receive and send group MMS as well as have custom themes. It is really fast in "Lite" mode.

I get this all the time, almost all of my friends and family use iphones. Regularly I get an "empty" text from them and I've been told it's a glitch in the iphone but it doesn't affect other iphones only android users.
---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------
I'd also like to add that iphone users can't seem to NOT reply to all.. yeah I know it's possible but they always reply to all even when it's personal. It's the main reason I go over my 1000 text allowance each month.

I use group texting everyday. Every single one of my friends have the iphone and I've used Hancent for years, but it doesn't work well with group texting. Event when I selected Group messaging in Handcent, i would receive each message in each persons thread, not the group thread. My friends with the iPhones said that my messages wouldn't ever appear in the group thread, but showed up in my thread instead. So i just switched to GoSMS Pro and so far everything has been working like a charm. Follow the instructions that Tirionfive wrote and you will not have any issues. Group texting is the $hit, and I really wish that Google integrated it into the stock messaging app. Oh well it will likely be in Key Lime Pie (unless Crapple already patented it already).
I've been using Go SMS Pro for the last few days and it is absolutely great! Not sure I'll ever go back to stock text messaging

I am running the stock sms app on my ATT s3 running JB. I am an iphone convert, so please bear with...
If someone sends an sms to me longer than say 4 lines of text, the sms will be delivered to me in multiple sms'.
Is there a fix/setting for this? My iphone never did this.
-J
Short Message Service (SMS for short) is limited to 160 characters. On an iPhone, multiple texts are usually connected into one by the receiving iPhone (unless using iMessage; I do not think there is a character limit). Android, however, does not do that by default. One choice you have is to download a third-party SMS app, like goSMS. I use goSMS and it works really well, lets you join iPhone group conversations, lets you install themes, and will also connect texts over the 160 character limit into a single text.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Are you rooted? If so you can replace your sec_mms.apk which will give you Emoji as well as an option in settings for SMS to MMS which will transform long texts to mms to keep them together. I just rename you existing sec_mms.apk to sec_mms.apk.bak and paste the new one in and reboot. Hope this helps. Link below to thread with apk. I credit to original uploader...

This is a bit overkill. Just get one from the market and disable notifications from the default messaging application.

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.

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:
