So I just updated to froyo yesterday and noticed stock sms/txt messaging was changed to bubble style. Is there any way to change txt msg / background color? Im currently using handcent but would keep the stock if colors are customizable. Thanks in advance.

i too am wondering about this. the Eclair default messaging app was much cleaner and simpler (not to mention it used a black background which saves battery).
i've resorted to using Go SMS as it's free with no ads and has allowed me to get back to a simple text only (no bubbles) conversation style.
i couldn't find a way to easily change the colors or bubble style of the default messaging app.
its also kinda annoying having sms logs on the call logs...

hello everyone
i am still in decision on what to use as my launcher
i like tw4 but i use handcent and not the stock messaging app.
ive replaced the stock messaging app in the dock and i have also switched all the notifications off for the messaging app but i still get the notification on the icon in the applications list saying i have 1 unread message. the only way i can get that off is by clicking on the stock messaging app and viewing the message... this is really annoying as i would have to check it twice.
is there a fix for this?
i would also like to know which launcher is lighter and takes less ram.
all help is much appreciated
kind regards
Anyone else's GO SMS not showing the sender's name for text messages, just the #? No issues until ICS.
To add to that ive got a gosms notification in my top bar to say ive got a new message. I can see the first few words of the message but when i click on it i cant see the text (i just get the text box to reply) and it doesnt exist in the stock sms app either.
I have this problem as well, also custom themes do not work at all. I've abandoned gosms for handcent for now at least. It's too bad the ICS theme for gosms looks so great too!
i have this aswell, i thought it was just me. Hopefully it will be updated soon.
Yeah - I had the same problem. I've switched to stock Messaging app and SMS Popup out of necessity, but now that I know Handcent works I might try that.
Newbie question, but what advantages do 3rd party SMS apps over the stock app.

Different themes, pop-up notifications with the ability to reply, just far more control in general.

Think iPhone vs. Android in terms of the amount of control one has.

The big feature is SMS pop up - it's super nice. SMS pop up doesn't remove the text from the notification bar, but it does mark it read, which is annoying. Handcent works alright.

GO SMS
Developer is working on update for GO SMS to be compatible with ICS - I have found Chomp to work the best in the mean time
GO SMS for ICS released this morning! Fixed...kind of.
Some of the messages have been linked to the contact, but not all. Can't see the pattern either. Again, only occurs within the app. Quick Reply is fine.
Edit: Just did a clear data. Will see what happens.
Edit: Just received a few SMS. Some are finding the name, some arent'. No pattern that I can see.
Hi chaps, I'm using Cyanogen 7 (and also MildWild which is based on CM and has same issue) and what I'm wanting to know is how do I turn on the text message notification counter? What I mean is that on receiving a text I get an icon in the status bar but what I really want is for the text message icon on screen to have a count of unread SMS's. Currently there is no counter and the icon in the status bar stays the same whether it's 1 or 10 unread text message. Is there any way to do this and if so, where is the setting for it? Thanks.
No setting for it. You can get an app for the message counter on the Play store. Or use another messaging app.
Oh that's a shame because I love everything else about both of these rom's. I love 'Sense' but it was just too 'laggy' for my likings hence the switch. Oh well I'll take a look around the store and see if I can find such an app, cheers.
I hear that handcent is a good messaging app.

Hello,
I was wondering if ya know of an app or mod for texting that would enable the pop-up from a text and allow me to reply quicker by having that option in the notifications pull-down.
The mod I was looking for is the one in the Codename Android ROM, and I wasn't looking for apps like GO SMS or Handcent or anything like that.
Thanks!
SMS POPUP
