I'm using the standard SMS app and the main flaws with Android is group SMS! When I send a group SMS out and someone replies that persons SMS becomes its own thread. Its very annoying and being a current iPhone user I gotta say I'm really disappointed that Jelly Bean hasn't fixed this yet.
So do we have tweak for this? I'd rather stick with the default SMS instead of Handcent or any of the other alternative SMS apps.

Don't think there's any way to fix it with the stock Messaging app.
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?
Is there any way to get the chat heads( of Facebook Home) integrated with the SMS app?
New ParanoidAndroid has that feature.

You can change your build.prop to a gs3 or something else supported. Or use the modded messenger 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

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?

download this lib

and paste it into
/system/libs
you have to have root and a file manager (i used FX File Manager)
this will FIX the force close when trying to do a video chat

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.

Can anyone receive any MMS?
Yep! I can without any issue.
I just tried with my work phone and haven't received any MMS... Not even in the stock messaging app did I get the MMS
I have no problem sending MMS
I am getting hangout force closes... Randomly

I get FC's with the new hangouts app too but it is only happening with the Google play services update required for the kk launcher

Managed to get a fc when I sent myself a picture. Anyone else?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Yup fc here
No MMS and random force closes... I have uninstalled and gone back to Hangouts V1....
Really wished it was fully working.. Was liking the SMS integration

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.
Does anyone have a fix for mms receiving issues on gee. I'm running DU 4.4.4 running the Franco kernel. I can't receive any mms group texts from an iPhone. It is crazy frustrating. I've run hello, voice, Go sms, and hangouts and I get no joy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks y'all.

I'm not sure if it's an app issue but if it is, try 8sms. Might have to look at settings for that app. I think I changed the receive to always instead of just WiFi or data. But either way my brother has an iPhone and just sent a group text to my cousin and I. We both got the MMS.
That seems to have fixed it thanks.

Glad it works for you now. Hangouts doesn't work well for MMS period at the moment so I would stay away from that for texts/MMS.
