I've been using it for over a month now and I love it. I couldn't stand the stock messaging app. Even with the various theming available, I hated the way it looked. 8sms has been super reliable for me and I like the look of it so much better. I use the dark theme.

It's fantastic. Using it from the first day I got my G2. I send multiple sms as well as mms daily

8sms is good. I personally use textra because I like the looks of the chat windows more.

I'm using it and it works great!
EDIT: Ah... just saw that you said you prefer TW MMS over AOSP. This is AOSP.

I use this awesome app called slide messaging located at the playstore. I only really like the pop up built into it so I really only use it. It's perfect for me because I prefer the touchwiz mms but miss the pop up feature on CM10.1! Check it out you'll be happy

I tried this also, but found it very laggy- especially when using the swiping feature -and not real stable. Maybe there has been some recent updates.

(Request) Inverted Stock Messaging App

I'm really liking the stock messaging app; but I hate the White. Has anyone found an inverted one? I want it too be fully functional so I can use it with my Galaxy gear.

in settings you can make the background for conversations any image you want and i use solid black. you can not change the conversation view though and i really wish you could.

Yeah I'm looking for the conversation view. I don't know why they would allow you to do one and not the other.

+1 for this feature. Or if anyone knows a AOSP inverted apk that is compatible with note 3.
I just want to get rid of the creepy default face for contacts that don't have a picture!

Looking for faster SMS experience

I am new to the G2 and am trying to find a ROM that is lag free. Ive loved this phone but the lag i experience on the Messaging app. I am coming from the HTC ONE which was lag free but I love this phone other than this lag. Currently on CLeanRom but I was hoping someone could suggest some pros and cons or make any suggestions to give me the best experience possible on this device..

1 try hangout app for sms works smooth here.
2 try to use lagfix app feels much better here after.
I use Textra in all my phones. Super smooth sms and mms. It's very light weight, but fully featured. Has one of the better pop-up options too.

Very much liking Textra, thanks for the heads up.
ninja sms all the way
The new hangouts app is awesome and lag free
Do you have mms working on hangouts v2? I've had no luck.

Textra all the way!:good:
There's a app called 8sms on the play store which is a slightly modified CM messaging app, doesn't get much faster and simple than stock or at least stock style.

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).

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.
