How well do you like it?
I noticed the led isn't flashing with it.
I'm a big fan of handcent- been using it for the past year. I love the customize options it offers.

I have used it for quite awhile and really like. I also liked how you could set you default messaging to it on eclair, however have noticed on the Froyo builds it doesn't give me that option (ie... click on stock messaging app and it will open handcent). I also like the customizations that you can do for each contact along with custom notifications for each contact.

my led flashes using handcent. I really like handcent especially for the popup notifications.
I have been using handcent on my last 2 phones. I have never had any problems with it and I love the high level of customization options.
Used it and liked it a lot. I had to ditch it, though, because when my automated work pager would send out texts, it would show two. No idea why, but it was a Handcent issue.
Big fan of Handcent. I really like the popups. Been back and forth between Chomp and Handcent but have been sticking with Handcent.

I was able to set it as default for messaging icon and swipe to text on call log. Using launcherpro btw

I absolutely do not. I don't see what the point is. Tried it and went back to stock Messaging app. Nothing there for me.
Stock app wastes a lot of space with user pics. Plus limited config options.

Tried it and hated it. Never liked the bubble style messaging. I like the stock better, just seems cleaner and easier to read.

Handcent is great. You can change nearly everything, including the chat style. Chat bubbles are not the only option. There is a style that is similar to, but better than, the stock app. The mms shows up in the chat screen unlike the way the stock app does a stupid slide show. Handcent also backs up your mms, even allowing you to select the back up directory. The popup chat window is also very nice. The ablility to respond so easily is extremely useful. At first, the number of config options is overwhelming.
I use launcher pro plus on my phone. I had handcent on my evo and now on my epic. It is far superior to the oem app on both phones. Remember to disable the notifications in the stock app so you don't get double notifications. The nice thing about launcher pro, other than being much better than touchwiz in every way, is that you can set handcent to default for messaging. This completely eliminated the use of the oem app.
Epicly posted using the xda app!
+1 for handcent. Its rad! Something you don't like? There is a config option to change it more than likely.
Only beef is the outragous $6 price for pro. So many options to reset every flash. Fixed this with mybackup pro data restores.

I've tried both but prefer ChompSMS. Look into both, they're very similar.
My wife and I both love it!
It is just so customizable. The free version has worked fine for our needs.

After seeing the advice about the settings, I'm sold on Handcent now. Takes a while to deal with all the customization in there but now that I have it looking more like the stock without the bubbles and white backgrounds it definitely is nice. The pop up on the lock screen is nice, and so is being able to select recipients instead of having to type their names. Way more features than stock.
I've use Handcent on any Android phone I've had and love it
Is there a way to set this as default when clicking the Messaging app in the dock on touchwiz? And I don't mean opening messaging then composing from handcent.

Has anyone found a way to resize the text in the messaging app without changing it globally? It is rather large for my taste.
Not interested in a 3rd party app.
Thanks
you can pinch to zoom or out in the stock texting app.

Pinch the screen in either direction within a text conversation and it will either increase or decrease the bubbles and font size.

Does this work on the international version? Cuz it doesn't work for me :-S
I find the stock messaging app pretty crappy. Even with small font setting with pinched out fully, it's still big for my taste. Also, did ya guys notice how slow it is?
Anyways.. I use chompSMS app as an alternative. It's pretty darn perfect and fast!

If you're rooted then use xposed framework and download the app settings module. That will allow you to change the size of the messaging app/text in the bubbles. That was the only work around that worked for me, other than using a whole other SMS app. I recommend using 8sms if you haven't found a replacement app or a solution to your stock size.

Thanks. I feel so dumb now! Lol.
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!
