Just wondering if this app is a battery drainer!? I'm currently using pop-up SMS and love it! But i like the look of handcent also and want to give it a try.

I am using handcent and I dont have a problem with it draining my battery
Give it a try, I like it.
Is it just me!? Or is there a delay in the pop up screen as you receive a text with this app!?

ye i'd like that too, Personally I cant find anything different between the two, they seem pretty comparable.
I had both ChompSMS & Handcent SMS & I found Handcent SMS better. Actually both seem pretty compareable, but Handcent is better for me
Yeah they seem the same to me I just like Chomp I guess the name I don't know but really both are good SMS replacements.
Yeah i've only used Handcent, haven't noticed any difference on the battery but its an amazing app.
comp has higher res at the grafix, just look at the bubbles
When I got the phone couple of months back, I have tried both apps.
and picked Handcent over ChompSMS. ever-since I'm a Hancent fan. Thats why I modified to X10.

From the forums it seems like the infuse's timing was right to grab a lot of former 3GS owners like myself. I'm wondering if anyone else has found or knows of a good replacement for tlert and intelliscreen. I've asked on a few threads but haven't gotten any responses. Right now I'm using executive assistant which I've seen suggested elsewhere, but it doesn't mark emails and texts as read after you look at them which is annoying. I'm currently using Handcent for texts, but the pop up is huge and annoying. Tlert was great because texts were so unobtrusive on the screen. Texts wouldn't get in my way on a the 3.5" screen, but they take it over on the 4.5" screen, just doesn't seem right.
bump. I'm getting used to the lock screen but the lack of quick text is killing me. Anyone want to develop an app?
As someone who long used iOS as well I found tlert missing as well. I found that ChompSMS does a great job of making texting more like the iPhone experience. It also does in app and lockscreen quick reply. As for intelliscreen no real advice for you. Hope that helps.

Use widgetlocker for intelliscreen-like experience. Lets you put any of your home screen widgets on your lockscreen (i.e. Calendar, contacts, etc.). Handcent or chompSMS for the texting stuff.

Oh you mean GO SMS PRO?
Don't ever use that term LACK with regards to customization on Andriod, I am an iPhone lover for a.long time, but now I see the light lol, don't get me wrong Steve did a great job on his devices, but gets boring in just 1month of having it, in Android all you got to do is make a new customization every month it's like having a new phone again
Enjoy
NOT TO MENTION APPS HERE HAVE NO BOUNDERY, no rejection unless your app has some kind of stealing identity.

For quick text try SMS pop up
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
All these sms apps have very similar text pop ups. What I miss about tlert is that they would pop up but I literally could keep reading what I was or whatever because they wouldn't be in the way. These popups take up the whole screen. I'd rather just have a notification I can look at when I want to (if I can't have an unobtrusive pop up)
I have Stumbled upon this post also looking for a Tlert like app.... It is an amazing texting app... (for a jailbroken iPhone)
All the apps that I have seen on the android market place are bulky and not as streamline as Tlert is
Also sent a message to the dev to see if he is going to be making it for android

Already did that, got a resounding no
What's your favorite 3rd party messaging app?!
GoSMS Pro here. Just like the way in which it has all the features you could ask for, has a good widget, though performance could be better.
chompSMS has good performance, but not enough features; Handcent is the weakest IMO.
Stock 2.3 is very, very good actually.
Im using the stock with my thunderbolt and it generally feeezes after every text message I reply to.. its really annoying so I was looking for something better.
GoSMS pro
works great.

How is this "WRONG SECTION"
I believe that this is subject matter that is directly related to the forum of ANDROID APPS AND GAMES.
MESSAGING is an APP-lication on the ANDROID platform
So this seems acceptable location.
I have used a multitude of messaging apps
GO sms
GO sms Pro
Handcent
Chomp SMS
Touchwiz
I honestly would prefer GO SMS Pro and Handcant because of the features. Although the con to that would be a laggy messaging system. If you are looking for a good light weight messaging system i would recommend Chomp sms or running GO SMS Pro in its lightweight mode.
Handcent!

Mine is Handcent SMS which i can free download from Topbestfreeapps.
thanks for all the answers! i'm going to try gosms and chomp. cheers!
I like how the iPhone displays a pop up on the lockscreen when you get a text. Is there any android apps that do this. I know you can turn on pop up on handcent but I that pop up isn't very nice

i use "smspopup" its free on market and its exactly like the one on iphone but better.
Try GoSMS Pro. It's a lot cleaner than Handcent, doesn't look clunky. And it performs faster.

I've actually been getting the opposite. I don't know why. GoSMS Pro can be customized a lot more than Handcent though, which is why I'm using it now.
I'm tryna find the best sms/email popup app... Any suggestions?

Agreed. My entire phone is a Go interface.
Go Launcher, Go Sms, Go Contacts. Once they get go Locker completely configurable I will use that too.
I have to recommend Go SMS as well. It's highly customizable and does way better than the stock messaging app.
i use gosms handcent started messing my phone up i recommend go sms for ya as well their stuff is so customizable and easy
While I also have been using GO SMS (only go product I dear use lol) lately it has been becomeing as bogged down as the stock and just as slow. There are many options. The top would be handcent and chomp as well as go. Try them all and find the one you like best and stick with it.

I use Go SMS, and now that I have I don't think I am capable to use any other one. Have tried several and keep going back to it.

I was curious if anyone had any suggestions for a replacement for the stock messaging app with ICS. I think the stock one looks pretty bad and have tried several of the 3rd party ones with mix results. I am really hoping for a modified version of the stock app but I would gladly accept any recommendations whether it be another 3rd party app I haven't tried, a theme to of these apps, or others or a modded version of the stock.
So far I have tried:
GoSMS
Handcent SMS
Pansi SMS
chompSMS
Contapps
I tend to like minimal style themes that still flow well with the stock look of ICS. The stock messaging app just feels out of place in regards to the look and feel of ICS in general. I been looking around and haven't find anything that I really like so I figured I'd lean on the community for suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
I was looking for something that looked like ICS too, I agree that the stock ICS messaging app doesn't fit in :-\ all I've found that was interesting was an inverted version of the stock ICS one, black background and the emoticons were blue
Pansi sms app is very good thanks

Handcent wins this one. I used to like gosms but they added too much extra stuff I didn't need to it. Handcent is nice. It has a delaysend option so you don't sent the wrong message to someone, or so you can correct a message if you notice it's wrong. Awesome stuff.

I'm with you OP. If there was just a black or grey themed version of the stock app it would be fantastic. Same thing with the Gmail app.
