I am on 4.4 currently and am part of a group message, but would like to go to stock however when I did try before and set Hangouts to use mms for group message it didn't work and they still came through in individual threads.

I'd like to move away from using gosms because it kills the performance on my phone whenever group messages are sent. While looking for an alternative, I saw this thread...
http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...us/230061-4-2-1-improved-group-messaging.html
Where it looks like there is official support for it now? I'm hoping there is a way to get this on my phone without having to switch to a custom ROM
On TW ROM's Group messaging does not work I have tried all the AOSP Messaging ports for Touchwiz, and Group doesn't work at all.
Even Touchwiz itself doesn't have Group messaging at all, which is Samsung's fault, for whatever reason not to include that.
Two options. Run GO SMS or Handcent on a TW ROM, or move over to CM10.1 ROM's which of course do have Group and Quick reply fully working, stock.

Ok. Yeah I'm not liking gosms because it's a performance hog whenever I get group messages
Would moving to something like paranoid android be ok too? It would support it?

Yes. All CM10.1 ROM's are 4.2 based, which has Group messaging and Quick reply, standard default in the stock text app. May have to go into settings to enable Group, but its just one box to click, and your good.
Blows my mind, that Samsung left out Group messaging in Touchwiz. To some people like myself, that's a very important feature.
And GO SMS and Handcent suck, big resource hogs, and memory eaters.

Handcent allows you to send/receive group text messages. Works well with those using an Iphone. It now threads the conversation and keeps it in the same group.
You should check it out.
Or you could use what's app, it's a good temp option, has emoji and lots of options. It does require the receiving person to have though.

Can you send, reply and receive messages in one thread with this phone?

I'm not on the stock firmware anymore, but I don't believe so. I think threaded group messaging (as MMS) is a feature of 4.2(.2?).
Darn, thanks. I left Att a while ago to go to Verizon n thankfully I can do group messaging with the stock messaging app on the note II. I was very interested in the LG pro but want the group messaging without having to use a different app like Go SMS which would make my phone lag terribly.

Heads up, you can. While it's not going to be as fluid as iOS' s group messaging, if you hold on to the message that is an MMS you can reply to all. It'll create a new thread with all the recipients, even if you don't have them in your contacts. Sadly, just like the Samsung group messaging, the messages won't be in a single thread and all the texts you'll receive will be from each individual contact.

hey guys..i have been looking for group text app or a mod for it that receives/sends messages in a group thread. I cant seem to find anything. I checked this whole thread and nothing. I even tried to use go sms, handcent, textra, and other messaging apps that have "group messaging."
if I can get some help with this ill gladly appreciate it.
thank you for your time.
Hangouts does it for you. Should already be on your phone. Just enable sms on it.

I tried that and it didn't work. Any settings that need to be turned on other then enable sms??
Have you updated the the latest hangouts? Mine just does it, didn't have to change anything.

The stock messaging app in 4.3 MK4 does it perfectly. Found this out by accident actually. If they respond to your message. It will stay in the group thread.

Is this from the new update or just about any rom running 4.3?? And do they need to have group messaging as well?
Should be on any rom running 4.3 as it is integrated with 4.3 MMS apk.

Yes it does. I group message with my friends all the time. They're all on ios and android.

Alright I'll check that out... and is there a ROM that runs 4.2.2 or earlier that has this capability because some 4.3 ROMs don't yet have some things working?? I looked around and found
NoAOSPmod ROM that has it integrated beautifully(I'm using it as we speak) but i want something more like a touchwiz ROM.
Or is there an MMS. Apk that I can install to a ROM?

Yeah they do need to have a group text capable app like hangouts... There is an app called slide messenger pro that is really cool and customizable it's 1.99 but I like it better than hangouts and it does group message.

Ahhh that makes sense. I tried to group message with my sis and my moms phone and I would get their texts in different threads but they didn't have a group messaging app or phone. Thanks man ..
Ohh I'll look into that app ..
I've tried everything and 4.2.2 and 4.3 have group msg. Or you can try textra. I used to use textra. It's light fast and there are no bloatware. It gets right to the point. Group text works really good in textra.

Handcent works fine for me. You have change some settings but works perfect. Also any 4.4 roms stock messaging does group threads.
