[Q] better s4 text messaging app?

Is there a better text messaging App for the S4? The stock app with the creepy face icons need to go. Plus the general aesthetics are no good.

GoSMS? BiteSMS? Handcent. Just search on the Play Store.

I liked GoSMS but they're so fricking intrusive now that I couldn't stand them any more. Went to Chomp SMS and it's been working really well.

Intrusive? How? Run it in Normal Mode. No addons.

agreed, they're always trying to shove their other products down your throat. I got fed up pretty quickly..

I gotta say that I find that pretty funny, since that's how all phone operate now. The gestures literally consist of swiping left or swiping right

Yes but access menus or setting or selection options, I'd rather just touch an icon or menu button.
As for GoSMS. I never see any pestering ads. Shrug.

It's not ads per se - it's the notifications "look, we have new premium themes!" "Hey, you can't back up any more but you can use our cloud service!" "please buy into our ecosystem!". If it suits you, it's no big deal - but something that just does SMS/MMS and beats the Samsung/stock product is what I was looking for at this point. Chomp does that.
Not a criticism of their business model, I just didn't like it. I do understand it.

This thread is funny....still love my Handcent over all the rest.

I have my GoSMS matched to the Contacts, Dialer and stock messaging app.
Don't know why all the lines in between messages aren't showing up. Not showing up in screen capture either. Shrug.

[Q] which is better?

In terms of battery saving & performance, which is better?
S8 theme installed or Nova launcher?
Thoughts?

Performance of course nova launcher

I was always using Nova prime. On every phone. However on S8 I have tried Pixel Launcher (modded version) and... I'm still using it. There's no icon pack support, but hey.... It's fast as hell!

Htc Sense home on S10+ exynos

Can anybody test this Htc Sense 10 launcher app on your htc s10+ phone?
Actually some users are saying that apps are not showing in htc launcher app drawer.
I tried it on s8, s9 exynos. Its working in both phones. As i don't have s10 series phone, so i can't check it on s10 or s10+.
So please install and confirm if its working or not.
Here's app link
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xioami/files/RedmiNote5/HtcSenseHome.apk/download

Someone please test it

Dual Messenger?

Hi folks!
Does this tablet have this function from One UI of Samsung's phones?

Unfortunately no

Yeah. Samsung didn't enable dual apps on most of its tablets.
