I was just wondering what Messaging app do you guys use? I did a fresh install of Skyraider 3.5 and am now using the stock HTC app. I like how simple it is, but I don't like the profile pictures. Since I don't link my contacts, all the pictures are just stock gray and that kind of gets annoying. I've been a longtime Handcent user though.

I was a handcent user from the get go; however, with my phone it was laggy and would not pop up right away when i open it and saw delays, etc. In a nutshell it was sluggish.
That's when I tried chompsms. The 2 are as we all know, very similar. However, I have come to like chomp as it is faster on my phone and loads my convo's which are extremely lengthy very quickly and there is no delay.
I like both, however chomp works much better on my phone.
Handcent with Swiftkey. Haven't used anything other than Handcent and the stock messaging app, and I have no interest in switching to anything else.
I used to use handcent, now I pretty much just stick with the stock. No real reason, does what I need it to do, send SMS/MMS.
I use GO Sms. I like it more than Handcent. The problem is that it needs to work with the stock messaging app(which kinda sucks.)

I use handcent because it splits threads for me so I can send my 1000 character texts without a problem and anyone ccan get them.

I use stock with sms popup for the same reason I don't use Sense roms- I don't need 2 facebook apps, 2 twitter apps, 2 sms apps, etc.
I have always liked handcent.
Chomp here. Love it. No reason to change.

I use Handcent also, it has a lot of great features... But, lately I have noticed that it hasn't been playing my MMS videos or the sounds attached them (qcp) ? I am using cm7 mod build #17 with the stock kernal, all data has been wiped all cache wiped then flashed... any thoughts ?
Handcent, works perfect on stock rom / rooted.
Super fast and love the black background and the fact that it will give super long texts when it splits up into multiples on others stock app.
I do believe that's a rom issue.

Handcent!
INC. SR3.5, Lou #9, 40gb, 1800mah
Handcent just because it's so easily customizable.
I had always felt like my Handcent pop up messages were delayed. Phone would ring, screen turn on then a second or 2 later the popup would appear.
Since installing CM7 though, it has been instant, no delay between ring and message popup. Not sure if this was fixed in Handcent or not, but either way, CM7 is amazing
used handcent for awhile but now I just use the stock miui app
Stock with SMS Popup. Handcent makes me feel like im using an iPhone. If I wanted to use an iPhone I would of bought one.

Amen! It's amazing (dare is say...Incredible?) how long my battery lasts now that I am not using 2 apps that do the same general function as 1 app. Just plain stupid.
Stock HTC Messaging for me. On AOSP roms, I use Handcent. I haven't tried Chomp or GO SMS or any of the others.
I switch between the stock htc one and Go SMS
Anyone? It seems no one will ever comment on the posts I make at their forums? I am testing cyanogen 7.1 out for a bit.
Some background info. Doubled wiped everything except sdcard. downloaded a fresh cyanogen 7.1 and flashed it. I have the GPS fix, and the gapps thing flashed with tiamat 4.0.8
So can someone tell me how to either fix this or why it does this?
This is a huge dealbreaker.. It compresses whatever photo i try to attach and it losses quality of the picture... I like the stock android and having to use handcent to send my mms seems like a *WTF* should i do this moment...
Apps like Handcent and Go SMS are better than the stock messaging app anyway. Why would you be willing to throw away the entire ROM over the messaging app when you can use more powerful messaging apps that don't compress the image AND have more customization options?
I've used stock CM, Handcent and Go SMS. By far my favorite one is Go SMS. Way better than the one that comes with CM.
I have used them both. I dislike them. Its just the feel. And the popups I just dislike the whole thing even after i messed with the settings to get rid of what i dont like. The options arent there and i do dislike them.. Also it wont send multiple split messages it freezes my ability top send messages and i need to reboot my phone....
And the Messaging app isn't the only issue.
Btw not my first or second time using CM either..

Huh? I don't get any pop ups whatsoever on mine. Not quite sure what you mean. And what options are you looking for? Out of all the ROMs I've tried CMseems to have the most flexibility and most customization options. What exactly are you looking for in a ROM? Handcent and Go SMS also provide more flexibility and customization options than the stock messaging app. Let me know what you're looking for and maybe I can point you toward a ROM that fits.

Its not that I'm looking for felxibility i just want to get my mms to stop sending at low resolutions.
It may be the user agent but every one of them makes me receive a pic at 8XX by ^XX resolutions..
I just want the stock one to have correct mms. And preferably a mms with a user agent for my phone or a equivalent phone. I have been searching for days and no one seems to post a fix. All the fixes seem to be for tmo for what i can find :/
Well I understand that you want your stock messaging app to work properly. However, I don't know a means to directly resolve the problem. Test with Handcent/Chomp SMS/Go SMS, reflash your ROM/kernel, update your radio, wimax, nv, etc., and if worse comes to worse....completely unroot your phone back to bone stock. Seems ridiculous that something that drastic is needed to fix your issue. But I did that as a last resort for my phone and it fixed my 2 month long SMS/MMS issue that I had been having.
Here OP try this. Is splits and the limit is big

I really like the ICS Messaging app but I'd like to be able to install it without replacing TW messaging. Anyone know how I would do this? I know there's an ICS messaging app in the market, but I don't like it for various reasons.

Name the ICS mms.apk to mms2.apk and push to system/app. Set permissions to RW/R/R and reboot. When its don't booting you should have two messaging apps in the app drawer.

I followed your suggestion but I still have only the Touch Wiz launcher in my app drawer. I renamed mms.apk to mms2.apk, copied to system/app, changed pemissions to rw/r/r and then rebooted.
I'm wondering if I need to install mms2.apk with package installer? I started to try this, but I get the message "Replace Application. This is a system application. Do you still want to replace it?"
I would back up the stock messenger then try to install. If it doesn't work just uninstall and replace it.

OK, I tried installing ICS messaging and let the installation replace TW messaging - ICS messaging wouldn't work...just kept crashing when I tried to open it. Tried a few reboots with no luck. Went back to TW messaging for now.

Hey, there is an ICS messaging app in the play store.

Yeah. If you did all that and still didn't work then you may want to just try the one in the play store for now. Once all the leaks stop and an official build is released. I am going to make a touchwiz mms that mimics the ICS mms and release it. It wont be exactly the same of course but I have some really cool ideas to try out. Until there there is an abundance of themed mms apks around you can use.
I'll just stick with the touch wiz mms for now. The one in the play store has ads, and it looks bad even with the ads removed. I like the idea of a TW/ICS blend mms, so if you make it I'll try it.

I'm gonna do it for sure. I have all the pngs ready and just want to wait for the final build. Plus I am having trouble getting it to decompile properly so I can edit smali. But that's another deal entirely.
I tried this and pic messages don't work so I had to go back to TW messaging app

Aokp has stock ics with no tw mms app. works fine.
aokp rom is awesome. Check it out
I ran AOKP for about a week and it's cool, but I missed the little things about TW. Like the split mms and email apps.
I'm really not into the whole pink unicorn thing either.

I like Touchwiz at this point for the full functionality of it. Once source drops and TCP and the others can build from source. AOKP will be may favorite. I like many aspects of Touchwiz and will always mess with it. The wife will not run AOSP ROMs so I have to for her little tweaks. But if I had a choice between fully functional Touchwiz and fully functional AOSP. I would take the AOSP. But I understand what ya mean about the little things on TW
I am back to TW ROM's for my Note 2, mainly for the insanely great battery life ( 8h On Screen time ), and working Bluetooth audio, and S-Pen Widgets/Apps.
Anyways, I have tried some of the AOSP Messaging Text apps for TW ROM's, and they all seem to have an issue or three ? Three issues seem to be present in some or all of them;
- No Group Messaging
- No Quick Reply
- Sending Pictures force closes, or just don't send at all.
Is there an AOSP Text app, with all of the above working for TW ROM's ? I blame Samsung for not including two very important features, that should have been included in Tocuhwiz 5.0. Why didn't they include Group messaging and Quick reply as a standard stock feature on the Note 2 ? Do we have to wait for a port of Touchwiz 6.0 from the upcoming Galaxy S IV ?

ive been using Handcent (play store) and it's plugins for group messaging with no issues on PA. As for your picture messages, try the app but if it keeps fc'ing, you might want to reflash in case your original gapps was not flashed right.

Never played with the stock Touchwiz Text app, does it do Group messaging by default ? If not has there been a revised one, with that enabled ?
My Brothers making fun of me now, we Group text a lot, as I also do with some good buddies. Half of the group have the iPhone5, the other half have the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus-S. All of them can Group text to each other, as could I when running a CM10.1 ROM.
Just blows, Samsung left this feature out in their Messaging App. And I like to run stock apps, the third party ones have issues, like Handcent and Go SMS, etc...And most my buddies don't want to install Whatsapp

I guess CM10.1 is my only option, for Group texting, and Quick reply, both fully working.
Sucks those don't work on Touchwiz ROM's.
