Was wondering if there are any different txt messaging apps, besides the default?
which also has the ability for attatchments.?
Thanks
I haven't used it myself, but a lot of people swear by Handcent SMS.
GOsms is what i use pretty nice
I have tried handsent not too bad but too much "bubbles" for me.
Are there any txt messaging apps that don't screwup the order in which messages are sent? What I mean by that is this:
When I send a txt to someone saying "hi, how are you" at 9:40am and I receive a reply a few seconds later, it shows up before my original message. Because both timestamps are at 9:40am, it displays them in alphabetical order (which is wrong)...
Allie - 9:40am - "good, u?"
Rob - 9:40am - "hi, how are you?"
I use Handcent SMS and I'm happy with it. No issues with the time stamps being out of order. You can customize the appearance, too.
How do u get rid of the bubble messages and have just a normal "list" type.
Settings - custom style - bubble settings - conversation style
Switch it to android.

I use handcent. It's pretty good. One thing that bugs me about handcent is that everytime I flash between different roms. I can never restore it. I've used tianium and astro and it would force close. What works for the best recovery when using handcent? For those of you who are using hc. Sorry, little of topic.
I've never had a problem between ROMS. Are you doing a full reset between? I just wipe the cache.

GoSms is what I recommend. I use the pro version, which is free in the market. Visually it looks like hanscent, But has more features. You can tailor it to performance or set it up with all the features/settings you want.

Go SMS
Go SMS is the best! They update a lot, too! Plus lots of personalization!

Does it have that feature to wake up the when you receive a new sms? If so, I might switch from Handcent
Handcent hands-down

+1 on GoSMS Pro. It's great. Been using it for a couple weeks and I love it.

Does anybody know where i can get emojis that have the actual faces instead of the black and white android ones, & would it be possible for someone to pull the mms.apk file from somewhere and me push it to my phone using root explorer or something?

I use gosmspro for as my messaging app and it supports actual emojis. Give it a shot!

chompsms supports emojis as well. i find chompsms to be a lot better than go sms. go sms has too much bloatware in it.
handcent sms is another good alternative as well (supports emoji)
chompsms: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wMS5jaG9tcHNtcyJd
handcent: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...extsms&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
you will have to get their respective emoji app.
Hello, I need to hide sms messages from one contact. What is the best way? I prefer free app but you can post paid apps too.
Thank you very much.
Have root? Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.security.firewall. if not try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.project.memoryerrorthree.

I know there's a modified MMS.apk in Slimbean that allows you to blacklist messages and calls from as many contacts as you want. I've seen it in a few other ROMS too. You can just flash one of those and not have an extra app. Or just extract the apk and move it to system.

I like root call blocker. It doesn't even make your screen blink
thank you guys, I'm with CM so I try to block contact via sms..
"Vault-Hide SMS, Pics & Videos"
Never used it for sms but works good for pics, I assume the sms is good too.

Try this...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.privatesmsbox
It has no additional icon, you get into by dialing 1234 then dial on the keypad, and it's opens it let's you put anything from one contact there (sms, mms, calls) and you can only get into it by using the code. Also, the default code of 1234 can be changed, and the app doesn't require root. Also gosms has a private box built in to it.

I can +1 that. I use Vault daily and this is by far the best Android privacy app I've seen. It was just a SMS hider, but now hides photos and videos and even locks apps now!
Plus, its privacy is polished to the extent that if you press back from the app, it also disappears from recents menu

Shady SMS 3.0 PAYG
It may be the best, however, costs about 7 bucks but it's well worth it. The developer always updates and listens to his customers.
that's a built-in option with Handcent.
long press on conversation and select blacklist.

Hello guys,
quick question here.
I updated last night my sprint galaxy s4
but now I don't see the google emojis on the hangout app
I only see the samsung emojis
Thank you. !
EDIT:
a user said this:
Samsung baked a custom hangouts in the rom to show their emoji instead.
Not exactly sure how that happened. My emoji button is attached to the text input bar on the left with location and photo on the right. There was an update released in the past few days. Tried uninstalling updates and reinstalling it?

Maybe I still have the Hangout Emoji because I use Swype+Dragon instead of Samsung or Google? If so, bonus for me ^_^

Nothing to share. Just use any keyboard that isn't Samsung's keyboard and the emoji icon will reappear.

I just updated to swifty keyboard and indeed, the emoji icon does show up.
kind of strange
Is there a way to go back to the hangout style of emojis? I dont like the samsung looking icons, rather have the stock hangouts.
today I checked the hangouts app and it is showing the stock emojis
I am not sure how it happened but it is back.
Although when they display on the text field it shows the samsung ones :/
Exactly, I dont like that, I see the stock ones since I use Swiftkey. But when I enter them in or anyone else on the chat enters a emoji it shows as the samsung one. EERRRR

As long as you're stock, there's nothing you can do. It goes beyond just the hangouts app. As if they built it into their framework or something. Any emoji displayed on the phone at all will be displayed as the samsung version. I could go into more detail but, meh...
I've tried several different programs, but I'm unable to change the default Samsung SMS program. I'm on PF2, UN ROOTED stock firmware......any ideas guys?

We need some specifics. Any app can mean a lot. What steps have you tried to resolve the issue?

I specifically tried EvoveSMS, ChompSMS, and GoSMS. I changed the default from Samsung Messaging to one of these.Clicking on the Messaging icon on the homepage launched Samsung messaging, which asked if I wanted to change default....NO...which proceeded to launch Samsung ANYWAYS. I forget what else I was doing, but Samsung was launched too when I wanted to message....
Are you using a custom launcher? If not pressing on messaging will always load the same thing. You have to click on the app you want to use. If using a custom launcher there should be a default setting in there somewhere.
Have tried both 3rd party and stock launchers....shouldn't changing default messaging peg have fixed the icon issue?

Are you trying to click on where it says "messaging" or the actual app you are trying to use for SMS? The messaging app is just that an app, not an app launcher/shortcut so selecting it will always open up Samsung SMS.

Both, the Samsung messaging asks if i want to change default app, regardless of what I choose, Samsung gets launched.....
Just go into the app you want to use and hide Samsung Messaging and you should be fine
