What app is everyone using for sms?

Just curious to see what people are using besides the stock app.

I came from an iphone and always used bitesms so when I got my gn2 I went straight for chompsms. It's really all I know but I love it.

Just got my Note2 yesterday and I'm still using the stock one for now. I'm trying to turn my GN2 into a Nexus, so I'm looking for an SMS app that is as close to the Vanilla Android SMS as possible.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

i personally prefer go SMS purely because of the crazy theming features + private box

Can you send pictures with GO sms? I heard it just sends a link?

I'm using the stock sms app themed

ChompSMS, I love how it renders picture messaging to full screen. Opposed to the stock which looks more like a thumbnail. GOSMS was to convoluted with options/themes for my liking.

i dont believe it does that......

I've been using Handcent for years. I love it, couldn't use anything else.

Using AOSP messaging app. I would use the Samsung stock, but the lack of vibrate options kills it for me.

Go SMS, been using them forever. You can send pictures, but sometimes I have problems with that. Only since I rooted my phones though. It gives me an error message, something along the lines of exceeding my file size limit. I just used the stock messenger to send mms/pictures.

I am very happy with stock... first time I've ever been able to say that. Prior to that, I used GoSMS and Handsent on all of my other devices. I forgot which one of the two I settled on. I want to say GoSMS was the better of the two IMO.

GoSMS here for years and I've been happy with it.

Stock sms app with sms pop up. Great combo and I am very pleased.

Using the stock for now

If you look hard enough in the settings you can change the max size to send and stop it from shrinking your pictures. But like I said before if you see d through go SMS and the received doesn't have go it comes up as a link

In sound options theres a setting for vibration intensity and pattern also on the contacts app theres options for making vibrations specifically for a contact. I think there might be a limited amount though.

It doesn't. I think it's from an older version of AOKP. I'm not really sure where it's from. I found it in the themes and mods section under a similar thread.
Edit: I'm using the APK from here and then follow the instructions here
And this recently up in Themes/Mod sections might help

I don't like the vibrate options because when selecting vibrate in the SMS app, it vibrates in sound mode and vibrate mode. I only want it to vibrate in vibrate mode like my GS3 did on ICS.

For those using Go SMS, can you confirm if Go SMS sends you push ads in your messages? When I tried Go SMS I got a spam sms from them.

Stock message...for now.

Chat heads for FB Messenger, anyone get it to work?

So the update came out and know quite a few people talking about it. If you update Facebook and messenger you now get this option without having to use Facebook home. Anyone get it to work? If you go to settings and notifications there's suppose to be a check box for chat heads but I'm not getting one

When you bring up the person you are chatting with, long press on the conversation and then you will see the option to bring up "pop up chat head"
Forgot to mention chat heads only work on Facebook messenger.

I had to uncheck 'Hide Statusbar' in Apex for it to work correctly.

This does not work for me. I've tried long pressing everywhere. I'm assuming if I don't have the option to turn it on under notification settings that it won't work for me at all.
I'm running 2.4.2 I've restarted the app and phone several times and reinstalled too

Open messenger,, then when the window comes up on the top left hand side should say messages.make sure that your settings allow pop up heads.
You do this by going into settings on the actual messenger app, then click on notifications, , then check "chat heads"
Now go back to messages window and hold down a conversation that you already have going.
On the conversation window that comes up tick the pop up heads option.
There you go hope that helps

You need to update the messenger app in order for it to work.

I have the same version, yet mine doesn't work. I even tried shutting off nova launcher and nothing.

I have the same problem as everyone else. I read somewhere that it has to do with the actual Facebook account.
Try to sign out of your account and then sign in to a friends account on your phone and test it out.
My long press selection options

Jayv81 you are right. It is related with the account. I key my gf sign into her account on my phone and the chat head option showed up. WTH! as soon as she log out, the option is gone.

I found a modded app that works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232307
I tried this one and it works just make sure and un install all current Facebook apps. Also I'm not a fan of the Facebook home and I uninstalled it after testing the linked method. And it still works.
All credit goes to theos0o
Long press options with modded apps

This does it. Finally! Thx

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to un-stack the chat heads that pop up? I can see the multiple chat heads for each thread when I drag the circle, but they're all stacked and attached to each other.

I don't think you can unstack them.

Try Logging In To Facebook Application.It Worked For Me

If you're using CyanogenMod or any custom ROM....
Find your device full specifications on google and look for its original PPI pixel density or resolution.
download an app on playstore like 'screen resolution changer' and change it to its original resolution.
Hope it works

It is a Wifi Calling bug in the Note 3. There's a workaround that I'm using and works well. Download Prefixer from the market and create a rule for ";63" and it will delete the ";63", this will allow to get the contact info from the Address Book as its supposed.

Exactly how am I suppose to do that once I have the app?

This screenshot can help. In the main screen touch upper left corner and then Add Rule -> Manual -> Incoming. Then follow the screenshot.

TXT messages not showing

Today while talking to my sister in law messages just stopped showing up in the messages application but they still show up as a notification so I know they are coming, and any that i send do not show in the app either.
I rebooted the phone and still has the same issue.
I'm running a cyanogen mod oct 29th nightly from last week, i was thinking of installing a newer update but wanted to check if that would be the only option

slight update
I tried some alternate messaging apps and still the same issue with those as well

Bump,
I really need help

Umhh it IS a nightly and could simply be a bug. Check your spam/rejected list or settings in your messaging app and make sure you didn't enable a global rule.

Never had this issue. Only other thing I can think of is to force stop the messaging app and clear the cache. Although, you said you tried other messaging apps.. it's worth a shot. If not, maybe someone else can help. Sorry!! ;{
