[Q] Is there an Android app that handles messages like a Blackberry?

Blackberry allows for a combined mailbox for push email (not just gmail), text messages, twitter notifications, facebook messages, etc. I cannot find a solid replacement for Android.
just wondering if theres any app or mod anyone knows that can do this?

Only separate apps available for each function:
Facebook for Facebook
Email app for email accounts
Messaging for SMS... etc

Also if you need group text messaging to BlackBerry and Apple devices, may I suggest Handcent SMS. You'll have to set it as your primary MMS application.

Developers are getting closer, but it's still not quite there yet. Try Streamlife in the play store. It's a work in progress, but a great app to follow for what you're looking for.

Honestly this is the ONLY good thing I can say about BlackBerry and I wish it was implemented that well in Android. From browsing through the settings, it looks like Go SMS Pro *may* have the capability. I'm kind of assuming they will make you sign up for all their services though...

I've been using Facebook Messenger for SMS for a while... then all of the sudden it's stopped working.. maybe cause I installed Paranoid Android, but are you guys having this issue?

[Google Voice] Google Voice through third party /stick messaging app

*I did not do any work, all the credit goes to koushik dutta ( Please thank him on his Google +) I am just letting the users know about it
Here is the link https://plus.google.com/110558071969009568835/posts/8P17ezLpi5c for instructions on his Google + post
Instructions
This comes with no support, and is nowhere near complete.
0) Google Voice must be installed with notifications enabled (for now).
1) Install a recent +CyanogenMod nightly. July 1st or later. You need the SMS middleware patches I put in for PushSMS. (see Gerrit)
2) Push this apk to /system/app: http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/babel-signed.apk adb install will not work. The app requires system/signature permissions.
4) Start Babel, choose your Google Voice account. Authorize it.
6) Click the "Accessibility service" button, and it will direct you to settings. Enable "Babel".
No, Babel is not the final name.
How it works:
The app will sync your existing Google Voice messages into your messaging store. New Google SMS will be received as if it were a normal SMS.
When you send a message out from your messaging app, it goes

How does this differ then normal Google Voice settings? Currently my google voice already forwards to my Stock Messenger and I'm able to reply using my stock messenger. Now I can't start a text from my stock with my google voice number, but I can reply to any (If that makes any sense)

It just defaults to gvoice. But if you want to use normal carrier SMS all you have to do is open the babel app then disable then send SMS.
The implementation is really neat. The only thing that needs to be fixed is double notification (notification comes from gvoice and default messaging app, and you have to have voice notification on for it to work)

I keep getting double notifications one from stock SMS and one from Google voice. Any fix for only one notification from stock messaging app?

Go to manage apps and select Google voice app. Uncheck notifications and you won't get two notifications anymore.

Then you don't get normal messenger notifications either (Something to do with how the mod works, it originally requires that gvoice has notifs enabled). Apparently any cyan nightly from 7/7 and beyond fixes it though

Literally copy the file to "/system/app"
You'll need a file manager with root capabilities. The file manager that comes with CM is what I used on my GS3, and it works great!

New Hangouts apk

Thanks to user Luke Olsen for posting this https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13zsdhwxmeoj3ubg04cixyh5tesidmz3ek it has sms integration that is confirmed working
Sent from my IdeaTab A2107A-F using Tapatalk 4

Well, ergonomics seem as ****ty as always. Can't understand how I choose between SMS and hangout channels. Typing a name brings out hundreds of "google+ suggestions" I have never heard of, instead of bringing out my local google contacts.
What the hell ?

Is anyone else having issues with video calling after installing the new apk?

anyone have this working ok in conjunction with the new kitkat launcher/google now? I am getting a lot of hangout FC's. I used the v2 package from this same forum.
Edit: Never mind. Uninstalled the new version and reinstalled and now it's playing nicely.

As far as sms is concerned hangouts works perfectly.

Yep! I can without any issue.

Why hasn't Google implemented quick reply to Hangouts yet? That was something I'd hoped would have come with this latest version. The interactive and expandable notifications are cool to see a full message content, but it sucks having to constantly enter in the new Hangouts app vs. just hitting quick reply or read with the CM 10.2 stock messaging app. I guess I was just spoiled.
On the plus side, I was able to receive an MMS last night, but when sending one, I get an fc. Oh well. Most people who I want to send pictures too have Hangouts and I just share a picture with them instead of MMS for the time being till that is fixed, or the official update is released on the Play Store.

[Q] is there a way to get hangout on lockscreen like text?

Is there any way to get Google hangouts to pop up on the lockscreen when you get a text the same way the stock text message works? Like the circle with the message icon and number.

I would also like to see this. Just updated to 4.3 on Verizon S3 and it doesn't work with Hangouts. The driving mode also doesn't read the text since it's in Hangouts.

Hangouts just began to be integrated with SMS... give it some time to make it the go-to feature for texting, etc. Until then, you have a bunch of apps that integrates fully into the original Messaging app like Halo, Popup Notifier, Textra, Handcent, and even Facebook Messenger. I'm sure Hangouts will reach this point but until then, try other apps.

Facebook messenger no longer does SMS AFAIK. That was taken out. Hangouts is cool, especially for group messaging, but I personally couldn't stand it being white. Luckily dark horse makes inverted apps.
One of my main gripes with hangouts as well as most other SMS apps is when your phone doesn't have service or in airplane mode...when you restore service the text messages you receive aren't timestamped properly. It stamps them like you just received them...and not when they actually were sent.

Install a 3rd party application to manage notifications and make sure you can enable notifications on the lock screen.

Google hangouts with SMS integration

I have the latest available version of hangouts and it has been said we can start using the SMS integration. I don't see that option anywhere in the app.

I'm sticking with Sammy's SMS for now
I like Hangout for Video, and such but for SMS it to me gets mixed up with all the other hangout stuff and I would rather have it separate. For me, I use SMS/MMS WAY more then Hangout, and it's just cleaner to keep it in it's own app. I did try it, worked fine and all. Just like SMS/MMS to be stand along.

I'm the opposite. I use SMS as an alert and rarely use it with other people. I use hangout text all the time. Don't do video much. I'd keep the SMS out of hangout as I prefer it separate.

MMS works between google+ accounts, but not between mobile numbers - Hangouts will force-close whenever I attach a photo to a message going to a phone # (as opposed to a hangout contact).

Seems like if you are in a group message to people on their phones numbers then the messages will go as MMS instead of SMS, When i am connected to WIFI mms does not work hence i have to choose WIFI or group message and i hate it
