You have to use another SMS app like Go SMS or something.

+1, definitely in GoSMS, where you add recipients in compose new message you can select entire groups or all contacts...
You can add a bunch of people to the recipient list just by tapping it

GroupText it's in the market.
You can type multiple names in the stock msging app. Just tap on the address bar and keep inputing names.
Mind you, it cant email a group but it can mass text.

What bug? Read posts above yours.
After you enter the first recipient, tap in the TO: field enter another one, then keep adding to your hearts content.

That is a pain in the ass though. Read the report I filed to see why it is.
Not only is it a pain in the ass, but there's also a limit to how many people you can add when using that method.
I can't believe Google still hasn't given us a built-in option to see a list of all contacts with tick boxes next to their names for easy selection. My Symbian phones from 2004 could do that.
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?

If you update the FB messenger app, you get chatheads, even without FB home. Using it right now, very slick
I don't see a difference. What an I missing here?

When someone sends you a fb message, you'll get the chathead notification on your home screen. If you want chatheads to work with your texts too, go into the settings for fb messenger, and press sms/mms, and select the option to use messenger for sms. Now you'll get chathead notifications for texts too.
I hate to admit it, but this is actually really cool. Only thing missing is MMS support, which i don't use that often. I really like how in the pop-up you can scroll back and read the previous messages. Best pop-up notification for SMS on the market IMHO.

It should have MMS support, its listed in the settings, though I haven't tested it. But yea, its definitely slick. I'm glad they chose not to force you to have home in order to use it. Very smart decision on their part

Try longpressing on a message in messenger. There should be an option that says "Pop out chat head". Maybe that will get it going.

I'm running the vanilla version of MMuzzy's 4.2.2 ROM. It is pure AOSP. I am wondering if it is an issue with the android version and not the ROM. Since all the phones that FB home is compatible with are 4.1, maybe chat heads in messenger just won't work on anything 4.2 based. Is there confirmation of it working on any 4.2 device? I'll try my N10 later tonight.

It's great and all, but i wish it stuck to your screen. I hate when i clear all my apps and then it also clears away the Chat heads. Know if there's a way to make it stay?
So the update came out and know quite a few people talking about it. If you update Facebook and messenger you now get this option without having to use Facebook home. Anyone get it to work? If you go to settings and notifications there's suppose to be a check box for chat heads but I'm not getting one

When you bring up the person you are chatting with, long press on the conversation and then you will see the option to bring up "pop up chat head"
Forgot to mention chat heads only work on Facebook messenger.

This does not work for me. I've tried long pressing everywhere. I'm assuming if I don't have the option to turn it on under notification settings that it won't work for me at all.

Open messenger,, then when the window comes up on the top left hand side should say messages.make sure that your settings allow pop up heads.
You do this by going into settings on the actual messenger app, then click on notifications, , then check "chat heads"
Now go back to messages window and hold down a conversation that you already have going.
On the conversation window that comes up tick the pop up heads option.
There you go hope that helps

Try to sign out of your account and then sign in to a friends account on your phone and test it out.

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to un-stack the chat heads that pop up? I can see the multiple chat heads for each thread when I drag the circle, but they're all stacked and attached to each other.

If you're using CyanogenMod or any custom ROM....
Find your device full specifications on google and look for its original PPI pixel density or resolution.
download an app on playstore like 'screen resolution changer' and change it to its original resolution.
Hope it works
According to this article you can turn on bubble notifcations (and force black [emoji16]) in Dev options.

Interesting. Not working for me but based on your screenshot I am testing the smart pop up view settings. Odd that you would have to switch both the dev option and the smart view. I am guessing one is Google and one is Samsung.

Not sure, but your thought makes sense. I'd never seen the one in the Dev settings until you mentioned it. In any event, to enable the pop-up to be used for Google Messages, you have to scroll way down into the app list to find Messages to enable it. You'd think it would be in the smaller first group of "suggested" apps all of which seem to be for messaging, but that is not the case.

You don't have to switch both (and messages is way down in the second list, it should work for you, maybe you enabled the wrong one.)
