Is there any way to add a batch mode for the default JB Messaging app so I can work with several messages at once? or has anybody done this for our XPERIAs?
AVOID suggesting me 3rd party apps from playstore, no one is close to the perfection of default messaging app, and also I want my phone as googleish as possible, so I don't actually change any default app like that. Any "answer" like this will be ignored.
Cmon, anyone has to know the answer for this!
well.. no one.. *feels alone* where are the devs when you need them.

The awesome Sense text selection seems to work in some third party apps (such as Handcent SMS), so is there a way someone can get it working in the GMail app?
I know the method that Google has implemented is due to be changed in Gingerbread, but by all accounts it's still not as good/unified as HTC's Sense method.
No not possible unless someone reverse engineers it. Either flash a Sense ROM or wait for Gingerbread.
I am on a Sense rom - and the Sense text selection works in Handcent, a third party app.
I guess I don't understand why it can work there, but it can't do so in ALL third party apps, ie where I want it in GMail?
I hate the stock messaging app. I don't really like Handcent, except that it has the "Iphone" look and makes text conversations go side to side. Is it difficult to drop another messaging app in as the stock messaging app? I would love to see more ROMs(mostly Ava because that is what I generally run) use another messaging app. Thanks for your time.

No its not hard. Thats why the rom devs don't do it. It lets everyone go choose what app they would like. Also some of the sms apps require the original messaging to still be installed... which makes it harder.
I would try go sms. LOTS of themes, and options.

I did not know that some messaging apps require the stock messaging app. I would think that when you have to programs doing the same thing, the phone is not being as efficient as possible. How can someone replace the stock messaging app with a new one? I don't want to use an app in conjunction with another app and disable the original, I want to get rid of the original.
Two ways....
Either break open the rom and delete out the apps you don't want before flashing. Or, install app you want then go in and delete (not disable) the original app using appropriate file manager program.
With Android being so customizable, are we able to go into deep customizations with the stock apps for Android? I'd like to know if we could add more features to the stock sms client already, like sms pop-ups, emoji support (for friends who have iPhones), etc.
I know there are other clients like Handcent SMS, but I don't like having to use third party apps. If this can be accomplished, I think it would be a great addition to CyanogenMod.
If I'm not mistaken, cm does use an already modded sms app.

Those emoji can be easily replaced in the res folder within the Mms.apk pop ups would be third party app or if someone can really take a look at it and make it like MIUIs default sms, it has its own popup feature..
I've always wondered if there is a custom messaging app that is mostly stock except that you could have a "privacy mode" like on handcent where your message couldn't be read/seen from the status/notification bar. Also the setting to have the app locked with a password the same way as handcent or any other 3rd party messaging app. I ask this because I prefer the stock look feel to the stock app. I would rather not have to use any 3rd party app. If anyone knows of anything like this I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
So I'm guessing there isn't any app like this?
I was wondering if anyone changed their SMS/text messaging app. I know that with the preloaded samsung text messaging app when I'm in the convo I can bring it up to my ear and it starts dialing. I honestly love this feature as I can tired of texting a lot and then I just called the person up if the texting gets too long. However, I'd like to use an alternative SMS app because the default one to me is extremely ugly. I hate looking at it a lot. So I was hoping to use something like chomp or panzi or something with a better looking theme and better support for emoji with my friends are relentless and not giving it up. So Does anyone have any ideas on keeping this feature? Any sms apps that work with this? I know it's a throw in the dark but what the heck. Thought I'd ask anyway.

The motion features, like the one your talking about are cool, but alas they seem to only work within the stock applications. I personally use GoSMS and I can not lift the handset to my ear and it call the contact unless I use the default messaging app (I switched mainly because of the way it slideshows any MMS - very stupid)
Another feature is the double tap the top of the phone to go back to the top of the page, but I use enhanced email (not the default email apps) and that feature doesnt work either.
If anyone finds a way to merge the motion features with 3rd party sms apps, I'd be interested.

Shucks, I feel the same way. The motion features are great but these default apps stink! lol. I prefer the alternatives way more. sigh.
