Sms Messaging - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

I would like to replace Hero's sms messaging with the sms messaging app in Htc magic rom. Any way to adb the app or is it impossible? Would appreciate advice on how to do it. Thank you~!

SMS Popup / Handcent / Chomp / AndroSMS / Others

Hi,
I'm an avid user of SMS Popup, mainly because while the threaded SMS in Handcent is a good thing, I think it's ugly as hell... and being iPhone-esque doesn't mean it's pretty (as some might believe)
Has anyone had experience with other SMS'ing apps that really deliver the goods...?
I think the standard X10 threaded SMS in the actuall contact's details is great - it looks clean and professional, but switches to the boring Android standard when you want to reply, which is a real shame...
SMS Popup works for me because it adds that extra something without redoing something that the Xperia already does, but just doing it uglier like Handcent (sorry to diss the app so much, but I just can't understand what people see in it)
AndroSMS would have been my next favourite, as it does a nice and clean threaded SMS, but it's a little buggy... shows messages as being unsent in the main android messaging app, and does that ugly thing a lot of apps seem to do on the x10, where the borders on popups/buttons are all funky...
I prefer chompsms!!

I thought Handcent SMS is the most popular SMS apps?
What is the difference between Handcent and Chomp sms app?
Handcent looks better than the default one, but I am not a big fan of it either. I checked the screenshots of Chomp and they looked similar to Handcent.
Handcent is by far the best and the most complete SMS app for any phone or platform. Ive had Symbians, iPhones, WindowsMobile and Handcent is better than the others combined. Developer is obviously a genius and it is free !

Best SMS Apps

What are the best SMS apps, of any variety and quickly why?
such as for backing up sms, using sms in general, etc.
I have heard of handcent and chompSMS so far as two good ones for overall SMS use.
If the app costs $, be sure to say so!
Current Result: GoSMS
Go sms.
Its new and popular.
Really light
Backs up sms
Can turn its whole system off(silent) when i want to use something else.
Yeah I really like GO SMS. you should try them all if you can because each has its strengths but my fave is GO.

I've tried a couple of them myself and I must say GoSMS is the best!
I've tried chompSMS, Handcent, and GO SMS (in that order)...I used each for about 1-2 weeks until they irritated me. I have stuck with GO SMS and I'm not looking back. For backing up sms I only use SMS Backup and Restore.

Thank you so much for the info. SMS Backupa nd Restore is a godsend!
I agree with everyone else, Go is my favorite messaging app if I'm not using the stock app.
I like GoSMS too.. but now that Handcent has emoji support, I'm switching back to HandcentSMS cos' I can send and receive smiley icons to/from my wife (who's using an iPhone).
I think it really depends on your need..
I recommend GO SMS... =)
The only problem is the Go sms icon, its hideous!

I'm also going to go with GO SMS. It has the functionality of pretty much every other popular sms app, and it seems to get an update every week.
I use Go SMS.
And for backup I use both SMS Backup and Restore and SMS Backup+ that lets you archive your SMS in Gmail.
Handcent. Nothing is more customizable. And to me, that's the heart of Android. Also, the devs are great, constantly adding features. Its been very reliable for me. It others online features for back up.

GoSMS.. I've used them all w/ Handcent being the longest but once I tried GoSMS, I haven't wanted to try anything else.

Amen to that. I tried the GO SMS built in backup and it messed up my sms order, missed many others. Good thing I had another backup via Backup and Restore.

If you're using a custom launcher, don't drag and drop to the Home screen. Instead long press on home screen to get the menu, then click shortcut, select application and you can have an option to change icon (by clicking on the icon) during the rename stage before finalizing by clicking done. This was for Launcher Pro BTW. Hope that helps.
I love GoSms
GOsms... lighter/ great sms app alternative.. beenHandcent user before.
My top:
#1 Handcent SMS
#2 Go SMS
The only problem with Go SMS is that it need the standard massaging apk to work. Sounds maybe weird, but why do I need two loading apps (one in background) on incoming sms? This takes memory. Not much, but for me - xperia e10i - it's kinda problem.
Handcent in the other hand use the stock massaging app only in case of mms in/out.
Handcent is slower, thats for sure, maybe not much, but you can tell why using it.
Go SMS got mega support from the devs - very often updates, and thats a great deal.
For now, like at the top of the post - first place Handcent, and second Go SMS - for me ofc
Go over Handcent
I prefer Go having used both.
One issue I have is I so far have been unable to stop the integrated text app from collecting and alerting me about new texts.
Am I being a donkey?

Fixing the sms bug?

Well, I dont have mms but when I go over my limit for sms, its converts it into mms. I my stock eclair 2.1 it would make a second sms message and send each out seperately, how do i get mine to do that...? If you i use go sms pro, the person that recieves a message longer than one page long gets **** like #$%#$%#$% Im on the superclean rom for the showcase.
Kind of lost me with your wordage but if you want to use GO SMS, under Send Settings in GO SMS check the box for splitting up long SMS messages. It should then send them as multiple SMS and not convert it to MMS.
If you're saying you've tried that and people are getting screwed up messages, then try another SMS application, such as Handcent.
I have the same problem with long messages coming in like garbage but I am just using the SMS messaging that came with the phone.
I have Showcase, Froyo, pnp v3
Yeah +2 for GO SMS, it is great and can fix your problems.

I removed the sms app that came with my mez and replaced worth handcent...I've never been back! Its great, but I'm sure go and and chomp sms etc are all better than what ships with sgs...just wish I could find a way to fix mms in aosp and I'd be set ;-)

How did you remove the stock messaging icon from the bottom of the screen?

IPhone emoji

Is there a way with a rooted s off phone running cm7.0.3.1 to get support for iPhone emoji? I don't care about typing them, I just want to view them
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
iphone sucks.
IPhone does suck, I agree. But its annoying to see a bunch of boxes
Sent from my EVO shift 4G running CM 7.0.3.1 via the XDA app
you can install handcent for your messaging app and then install the handcent emoji plugin and can view/send them
Ahhh. Ok, I already have handcent. Ill get that. Thanks a bunch. Any way to extend that to other programs?

No Prob, I don't know of any way to extend it. Would be cool though
Go for GoSMS. It's the best sms app for Android. It has plugin for Emoji plus sms folders.
+1 for GoSMS
as for extending it you can try using the UOT Kitchen to make a theme, you pick which elements of the theme you want or don't want, and I know emoji is an option. not sure what they have though cause I like the stock Android ones. hope this helps.
If you're rooted, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690781 for a way to get black-and-white emoji fonts.

[Q] Is SMS privacy in Handcent 4 possible?

Does anyone know how the privacy box works in Handcent SMS 4.0? I love the app, but I need the ability to hide both messages from specific contacts and prevent notifications from appearing for those contacts. Is this possible? I suppose I also need to block the native SMS app - can I do this with a Titanium Backup freeze?
Using and SGS2 with CM7 nightly.
Much appreciated
