Can i Request a new Rom to be built? ill pay? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

hi guys,
(please move thread if in wrong setion, sorry! )
was wondering if i can get a ALL STOCK rom for the galaxy s4 on att, with all the gestures and what not but no bloatware, and stock messaging app replaced with the aosp JB 4.2.2 messaging app? with group messaging?
thanks a million...

honestly it could be a MOD even, not a full on rom, i have been trying to uninstall messaging app but everything i replace with doesnt have the group messaging (mms) working at all !!!

Just root and debloat. Then add a third party messaging app from the play store. Handcent or go sms.

but which third party app has group messaging ? and should i remove stock messaging app then install third party app?

Use the T-Mobile rom wicked has everything except the AOSP Messager. So far this is the best ROM

The galaxy s4 on att actually supports group messaging. Go to the text message app>settings, scroll down to Multimedia message (MMS) settings and check the group messaging option. I am running 4.2.2 . This was actually the first option i tested in the att store before buying the phone because it used to piss me off with my S3.

What exactly is group messaging?

Where multiple contacts are in the same message thread. So I can send a message to persons A, B, and C and all messages received from them in response to that group message will be received and viewed in the same thread.

Messaging Apps

Does anyone know if it's possible to install the normal messaging app found in the galaxy nexus to the samsung galaxy s3? If not, what is a good alternative for a messaging app for the s3? Thanks!
Search at the theme area, there is a thread with a aosp MMS apk modded. Works on Sammy ROM. PS.sorry my english

Be weary. Not sure if the one in the theme area is the same as the AOSP messaging app found in the foxhound rom which has an issue with phone numbers. You'll get a new thread for each message you receive if your numbers don't have international codes.

Hangout Alternatives

Hello I was wondering what everyone was using instead of Google's hangouts app for SMS. I am stuck looking for a good alternative. Also I saw an AOSP SMS app with the sliding side bar kind of how hangouts has it now but I can't seem to find it anymore.

Go SMS works well... had tried it earlier...
Sliding messaging
Ninja sms ftw. It is a paid app, but the window is wonderful. Reply without leaving the app youre using is great.

You may try 8SMS
I'm still using the old messaging app, isn't that included in 4.4 rom? (I personally flashed 4.4 over 4.3, so it's still there).

Text messages failing when using custom themes

I'm making this post for a friend. She has a T-Mobile G2 and apparently when using sending text messages (via stock app) messages fail if the persons message is themed. Deleting Cache and resetting will help for a little while, but eventually will do it again. Text Messages sent without any custom themes are sent fine. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

No, this is for a friend who was having trouble, stock rom, non-rooted. I did a search and didn't find anyone with the same issue, I thought maybe someone on here would know a work around... or anyone know of a good third party messaging app that allows to have individual themes for different people?

Dark Mms Theme

I went to best buy yesterday and noticed the s5 on display had the messaging app with a dark theme! Is there any way to get this on our phones?
If you go to settings and display you can change background for when your in a conversation. But in the overview you can't. You sure it wasn't the Verizon sms app?

if you dont want my rom you can install 8sms from play store.. its better than stock imo

Does 8sms have a quick reply popup? I really like that with chomp sms. And you can customize the look of everything. Mine is totally dark right now.

Unfortunately coming from a galaxy nexus i would like to avoid the stock kit kat messaging app. I've used it for a while an i don't really like it lol. I like the way the stock s5 messaging app looks.

That is a stock ROM TW feature so should be in any TW stock based ROM as well.

I'm running the S5 messaging app as well and there is no native/built-in feature to block messages. If you want to block messages, you'll have to download a 3rd party app from the Google Play store (i.e. SMS Blocker).

On my S3 and Note 2 I long press the thread in messaging and there is the option to add to spam numbers. They took that option off of the S5?
