SMS Widget that can compose/reply - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm looking for an sms widget that allows you to compose from the widget itself. Play store doesn't seem to have any except one that requires EZ Launcher, which I'm not using.
I'd like to be able to compose an sms via a popup widget that I access from Action Launcher 2.0 beta Quickpage (an awesome new feature)

Someone on Google+ said Sliding Messenger can do this. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Thanks.

Has anybody been successful in getting the email widget to properly display number of emails? I know it works for gmail widget but does it work for other email accounts?
Thanks

[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 Integration App

I use google voice for texts a lot and stumbled upon an app that integrated google voice into the stock messaging application of the phone. This is not a standalone messaging application like "Google Voice + Messaging" app, but instead can set the stock app to use gvoice. For those who want to check it out here:

It works perfectly except one thing: For some reason I am not getting notification bar notification from the messaging application for new texts received. The texts themselves come in and can be viewed if you open the messaging application but it doesn't send the status bar notification. Can anyone try and confirm this or is it just me because I don't see it mentioned in reviews. As an alternative I just have the default gv app notify me and I use messaging app for actually sending.
The reason why you don't receive your notifications anymore is because of the Google Voice App update. Every time the GV app updates the integration app must be updated also. The developer just stopped. It sucks because it was an amazing application.
There's another one on the market that does the same thing also but it's a separate messaging app themed like the stock one.

Actually, the app works fine in Android 4.0 and 4.1. I have used this app a long time, and it quit displaying notifications with the 4.2 update. So I grabbed the mms.apk from 4.1 and it works fine again. Every time I update my ROM now, I replace mms.apk with the one from CM10 I keep in /sdcard and it works great.
Hey can you post that please

Guys I found this and can confirm that it works:

The only two things I miss are
1) The "read" button that the notification has with the new mms.apk (this one only has quick reply and call)
2) bubbles/quick emoticons since I previously used the mms.apk from here:

[Q] Facebook Chat Heads SMS

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.

[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.

No one knows a mod?

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.
