Real Messaging!!

Okay so I don't have a xoom but I have the g slate no forum for that right now so I'm posting this here. The free amazon app of the day is text plus and its better than google voice to text. It pops up on your screen with a reply box has push notifications and sends your text plus number to your facebook friends or your gmail contacts. I just got it on my g slate and I'm texting my vibrant it seems to be working great and its free so why not try it out right?
Anyways its in the amazon market today for free so go get it and try it out.

Not sure what those apps do because I've never used them but this app gives you a phone number and allows you to text as if your tablet was a phone so its not I'm its text and it has a pop-up notification when you recieve a text. So basically it feels a lot like a native text application. Rather then an instant messaging client

So you can call that number from land line as well?

No, it gives you a number and you text as if that was your actual tablet number.

meh.. useless in that case... hard enough for me to get my friends to test to my gv instead og my voice number... having a different number for my tablet sounds very confusing.

If your friends are that lazy I feel bad for them. It's really simple to add a contact to an existing one and text that number if you don't get a response from the phone number

Persistent notifications?

Is there anyway to get persistent notifications? I am using jellybro and my wife is still stock. Neither ROM seems to support the feature.
I want my phone to beep every few minutes to remind me of missed calls and text messages.

Exactly! You are the man! Don't understand why such a basic feature was removed from android. Doesn't seem like I should need an app for this. Thanks a million!

Looking for a stock Jellybean Messenger

I found a few but not just a stock Jellybean messenger. I found slide messenger which has everything I want, but your text messages are put in slides. Anyone?

I'm not sure what you mean by "stock Jellybean" - Holo UI? Something else? I'm using Chomp SMS and while it does use the menu button, it suits me better as a "Jellybean messenger" than the one Samsung included.

The stock jellybean messenger such as quick reply in the notification bar, or the breathing sms icon. Like on the nexus

Lockscreen SMS question. .

Is there any way to get a preview of a new text message on the lockscreen like HTC and Samsung devices? I've looked everywhere for the option but I can't find it. The only way is to pull down the notification shade or swipe up from the messages icon.

Try NiLS on the play store, works for all apps like iOS. I use it all the time.

Don't know what you mean by collect messages, but you can do the other two.

8sms.... behaves and looks exactly like the 4.3 sms app.

if you search around you will find ways to install old sms app on 4.4+

thanks for everyone.

Use the stock AOSP messaging app. It does everything hangouts cant do and is so simple !
