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

Used to love them but the look of it turns me away. And for some reason when i send mms while on wifi it wont send because it doesnt auto turn data on

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.

[Q] How to send an empty sms using N7100 ?!!

Hi everone
My question is as stated in the address .. my network carrier has many great offers that requires sending an empty sms to a special number for the subscription, but I've tried many times to send this empty sms but never succeded
Is there a way to do so ?!!
I'm using an not rooted N7100
Please accept my sincere regards everyone

I don't think that this is accepted by my carrier and there must be an option to do so without using any external apps.
Thanks for your help and waiting for others to share
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

So what is your carrier? Vodafone or Etisalat or Mobinil ?? All support it

Just by pressing once space. Is the only way I found
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Guess I've never been able to send an empty SMS with any phone. Other then a space with no letters.

Your ONLY option is to use a third party app like Handcent or GOSMS. No way to do it on the stock messaging app

Use emoji keyboard. . The emoticons don't get sent. ..only empty messages get sent. ..lol
I am on omega v9 rom. ..emoji keyboard is inbuilt
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)

But you do have to input an emoticon first, right? Whether it gets sent or not, is not the issue. The OP needs a Null message to use his service provider's features like checking balance etc. A space, an unsent emoticon is not a Null message.

Thanks everyone for your replies and I tried the suggestion of sending a message that contains only a space and managed to participate in the offers successfully
Thanks for your help and please all accept my sincere regards. You truly helped me

Technically merges duplicates and finds them based on same number, name and account.
Ie after flashing a new rom, you may have 2 entries for 1 person. With this app it will merge them so the 1 person will have multiple fields (name, address, email, FB etc)

[APP] Sprint Voicemail on AOSP

Attached is the Sprint Visual Voicemail application, just download it like normal and it should work perfect. This is for AOSP ROM's that don't come with a built-in Voicemail application. I know some people use Google Voice but this is for people who don't use Google Voice.
To get rid of the text messages alerting you of a voicemail (9016) then follow these instructions:
1. Download Mr. Number from the Play Store, Here.
2. Block "9016" from text messages.
3. No more annoying texts!
Enjoy!
Updated with Latest Sprint Visual Voicemail, as of 11/3/2013

Thanks epic. Google voice really sucks and pretty annoying when receiving a call.

Can you use the Sprint Voicemail app if you have your sprint # associated with Google Voice?

I'm recording this message and sending it through gmail? if so, I got a domain name not found. I could just be doing it all wrong.

The voicemail app puts me in gmail when I hit send or else it pops the onscreen keyboard and will not actually "send" the message.

That method was for an older voicemail (I didn't realize that), try the new method and let me know.

It should just work. It just sounds odd. Did you go into apps and clear cache and data for voicemail app? Go into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik cache and fix permissions?

I'm thinking, it's missing a link to another app. Like it's looking for default sms, not actually having sms functionality itself. I saw a thread somewhere that had 4.4 apk pull from the Nexus. See if somebody can find the 4.4 SMS see if it installs then try again.

That doesn't sound right. Not like google to "force you to use" an app.
If that so, then my theory is shot.

Hangouts is pretty much imessage but multiplatform, also kit kat has a new feature where you can get another sms app and make it the default one of you'd like. So it's giving you more freedom if anything.
