I use the blacklist to reject calls & speed dial quite a bit. Does any ROM offer this?
I don't know if any ROMs offer that feature, but I've always used aFirewall for blacklisting calls. You can find it here: http://u.fbiryujin.com/afirewall
Note: I have no affiliation with this developer.

I don't think I've ever seen a phone with native blacklisting. Perhaps because the SMS/call still counts against your plan and carriers don't want to explain that to people. iMessage on the iOS platform is even worse for this. Someone figures out the e-mail you use for it, and relentless spam is now pushed to all your devices.

My SGS2 had the blacklist for calls built in the gingerbread build from stock... I have unlimited calling so I don't care if it counts and don't care if sms goes through. But it was part of the OS not an add on. Thanks for the input tho.

Actually I do remember having call blacklisting in SGS2 Skyrocket. I had SkyICS ROM though.

This is a app that does it,
* Fast Contact Search – Use phone pad to find contacts by names, initials or any part of the numbers.
*Number attribution - Show the registered location of phone number.
* Availability - Let your Pals know when you are free for a call. And you can Mark unavailable Pals to get Reminder once he/she turns to available.
* Facebook/Twitter Integration - Access to your Pal’s Facebook/Twitter page directly in contact details. Sync your status to Facebook/Twitter at once.
* Blocklist – Block/unblock calls from any contact.
* Contacts Exchange – Exchange e-business cards by just a flip.

Don't know. I don't use that app.
I am running the stock sms app on my ATT s3 running JB. I am an iphone convert, so please bear with...
If someone sends an sms to me longer than say 4 lines of text, the sms will be delivered to me in multiple sms'.
Is there a fix/setting for this? My iphone never did this.

Short Message Service (SMS for short) is limited to 160 characters. On an iPhone, multiple texts are usually connected into one by the receiving iPhone (unless using iMessage; I do not think there is a character limit). Android, however, does not do that by default. One choice you have is to download a third-party SMS app, like goSMS. I use goSMS and it works really well, lets you join iPhone group conversations, lets you install themes, and will also connect texts over the 160 character limit into a single text.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Are you rooted? If so you can replace your sec_mms.apk which will give you Emoji as well as an option in settings for SMS to MMS which will transform long texts to mms to keep them together. I just rename you existing sec_mms.apk to sec_mms.apk.bak and paste the new one in and reboot. Hope this helps. Link below to thread with apk. I credit to original uploader...

This is a bit overkill. Just get one from the market and disable notifications from the default messaging application.

Its working for me... does it not seem a bit clumsy in its implementation? You've got to switch back and forth between sms/hangouts. Two separate conversations. Not sure what I was expecting... but I dont think this was quite it.
I was reading that 4.4 would have both SMS and MMS in hangouts.
It's working for me very well. But still has some catching up to do even with the stock Galaxy s3 messaging app. Hangouts needs to be able to attach contacts or calendar or even a voice recording.

One contact = two conversations. One for sms messages, one for hangouts messages
I'm sorry to post a full newbie post here regarding this but I'm trying to settle some debate and confusion online about Hangouts 2.0
Basically has google "done it right" this time and copied iMessage? (No, I'm not an Apple fanboy)
The advantage of iMessage is that it defaults to data when possible, fallsback to SMS when it has to.
It's also completely seamless, this is handled for you - no need to manually change from data to SMS mode or anything.
2 more points:
iMessage allows you to SMS a "new" phone number for someone you've never encountered before, iMessage detects the phone number is "iMessage-able" and simply sends via data, no kind of handshake / friendship needs to be setup
and finally
There's no "online" status required of iMessage, you need not "log in" or always be set to online, it's an SMS app natively but you can communicate with people over data without them knowing you're necessarily "online"
The advantages as follows.
Cheapest possible was of conversing with friends (assuming your SMS plan is NOT unlimited, I'm in a country where it's pricey)
Privacy / "aloofness" - the lack of an online / offline requirement allows you to ignore a message and respond at your leisure, be it 5 minutes, 5 hours or 5 days. If someone however sees a green O next to your name with Hangouts, the social pressure / obligation to reply is there, you can't just relax if that makes sense (I guess this is an introvert feature)
Sorry for the long post but I'm hearing conflicting reports online that google STILL screwed it up - but that's from people who have obtained the Hangouts 2.0 APK file and do NOT have 4.4 KitKat, rumour has it that's required for the full backend SMS "engine" update to work like iMessage?
Thanks all, really appreciate your time.
EDIT: This also covers what I'm trying to clarify.

The best person to answer those questions would be yourself...since it seems you have experience with iMessage whearas we just got the app.

Well first off, hangouts is still technically part google talk which was an online messaging service, so the online status will still be incorporated in the app unless they take the code out and re-do the app.
And iMessage probably had its advantages in the past when messaging plans weren't unlimited but doesn't have any advantages really unless you want to know who has an iPhone and who doesn't. And since I don't have kitkat I wouldn't know if it enhances hangouts or not!
Don't think google screwed up. They did exactly what they wanted to do.

I use Hangouts, SMS only no Google Voice. Seems to work great. I see a lot of people like Textra.
Personally I'm a big fan of the new stock SMS "Messenger" app that comes with 5.0 Lollipop (you can easily sideload the APK); it works a bit more seamlessly with the watch in my opinion, and I like the app itself better than Hangouts. In terms of having the message marked "read" when you dismiss it, I haven't found one yet that has that functionality (not completely anyway) I've used the stock Samsung S5 Messaging app, Hangouts, and the new Lollipop Messenger app; usually they all behave the same way, when you read and dismiss it from your watch, it dismisses the notification on your phone, but when you go into the messaging app the message is still "unread" within the app.

The stock Messaging app on the Sony Z3 has the option to Mark as Read on one of the left swipes - and also to read the whole message thread, and Reply or Open on Phone. I actually prefer it this way, personally, as I might want to swipe away the clutter on the watch while also not losing track on the phone of any messages I need to return to later.
In some ways it's more like reading an expanded notifcation on the phone, then optionally tapping Mark as Read there if you don't care about it.
* Textra allows you to mark as read, and reply by voice only (not with WM, i.e. no Minuum support)
* EvolveSMS (I haven't tested this in three months) allows you to select up to three 'buttons' which then reflect as actions on your wearable
* Hangouts can reply with Minuum, and can view full conversation, but won't mark the conversation as read
Basically, in my opinion, there is no perfect Wear-compatible SMS app out there.
EvolveSMS allows mark as read and voice reply through android wear and has high definition contact photos.
I use it in combination with wear messenger to be able to view full conversation lists. However, it also works great by itself

Does it sync with contact photos that are taken from the Google contact joins? Or does it require the premium IAP to manage its own sync?

Yep contact photos will sync automatically with whatever photos you've got on your google contacts. I believe the IAPs are primarily for themes - haven't purchased any myself.
