ChompSMS is a text message handling app for the Android platform. ChompSMS has got to be one of the best Messaging alternatives offered for Android and maybe even one of the best Applications in the Market. I text a ridiculous amount of times a day and i'm sure i'm not alone there. The only thing is, the native messaging app is pretty bad. After a few hundred texts it starts slowing your phone down and lagging. For someone who text all the time and needs it to be quick and easy as texting should be, the native app falls short. Not alone does performance in the native messaging app fall short but so does many features and customization. With ChompSMS so much more is added in the features and customization area. Anything from being able to Blacklist someone, setting individual ringtones, marking all as read or even having a way better looking UI. Of course the best thing about it is that performance does not get affected no matter how many texts you have. It just works and looks great all around. ChompSMS is an amazing app. The only problem is with the sent notification sound, just can’t hear it most of the times. It seems to work just like the native Android SMS application, and I love the chat style conversation bubbles.
This app functions in ways similar to how the core Android text messaging system works, but offers quite a bit more customization to make it worth using instead. It also offers its own brand of text messaging as well.

IMO Chomp is A LOT better.
I used handscent for a long time, than tried Chomp, and liked it so much more. THe pop up reply looks so much cleaner. The entire UI looks cleaner imo, and runs better for me.
I don't know why, but both try to copy the "iPhone" Style.
I wish, there is an Option to turn these Bubble Style off... It doesn't look like Android.

Agreed! I got an Android to stay away from the iPhone look! Which is why I stick to the stock messaging app, haven't had a problem with it yet!

Handcent actually allows that, you can choose between Handcent, Handcent Classic, iPhone and Android style chat. The first three are either square or rounded bubbles, and the last one is like the stock messaging app.
Can't remember whether Chomp allows you to set that though.

You can customize Handcent even more. Fonts, wallpapers and ring-tones. I like how you can set a background in the All threads screen, and have a different background for each contact you text with.

Great! Enjoy You're welcome to help and spread the word.
Downloading it now.. it looks beautiful .. awesome work man
aaah, dang... I thought this was a WIDGET...
If the carousel remained on my home screen and allowed me to swipe up/down to go from apps to games to fav people, etc... I'd pay quite a bit for it...
ALSO!! Here is a good idea...
Why not make it so that the crousel automatically adjusts for the number of shortcuts assigned to it?
I/E: instead of adding 4 shortcuts and getting those and 12 "Stars"... just have the 4 shortcuts showing; evenly spaced.
To support development; i purchased the full version!

You don't have to take any special action. This is how the application looks like. If something looks different, there's probably some issue with OpenGL on your phone.
Try playing with the background and transparency settings (Menu -> Settings)
Try completely transparent and opaque backgrounds and see if it helps.
If you're still having issues, e-mail me, Let me know what phone and what Android version you're using, and I'll check if there's anything I can do.
This is great stuff LiorG, though when opening the settings menu I can't seem to interact with it sometimes, and the times I can I have to wait a good few minutes beforehand. Other than that it's sweet!

The application should look like in the screen capture "out of the box", no need to do anything special.
What version of Android are you using? What ROM? What phone?
love it... but if you could add a feature for custom icons per carousel itd be the best. or even some predefined icons for say like games, tools, media, music, video, documents...

Make sure that all your contacts have a default number assigned to them. A default number is denoted by a small check-mark next to the number.
To assign one, open your phone's contact app, and view the desired contact, long-press a number and select "Make default number".
This happened automatically up to Android 1.6, but starting Android 2.0 it doesn't.
In the next update I will improve contact selection, and it won't count on the default number anymore.
WidgetLocker is a paid app, this thread is to be used for support. Also feel free to email me.
I'm the developer of WidgetLocker, which is a lockscreen replacement with emphasis on customization. Primarily by allowing you to place standard Android widgets (or shortcuts) on the lockscreen. It allows you to drag-and-drop similar to how the home screen works. It also includes Custom Sliders, which allow you to add extra sliders to the lockscreen for whatever you want. There's built in actions for things like silence/vibrate, brightness, quick camera mode, dialer. But you can also use any shortcut, such as direct dial or any application on your phone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Additional FAQs:
When will the next update be released?
Sorry, I cannot give ETAs. Updates take a lot of time and I try to squeeze a lot into an update. Please be patient.
I'm having a really weird problem?
Can you send a bug report via Settings > Report Bug so I have some more information? (And please briefly restate the problem to remind me what the report is in regard to).
FYI those problems I contacted you about earlier are no longer. Don't know what it was, but it works wonderfully. Great app!
Yep, WidgetLocker rules, FlyScreen drools. It works really great, and it's fast and always there. No more built-in lock before the lock screen, no more home/back/notification goes past it, etc..
Did a good job on this one, look forward to what's coming.
bought!....great work keep it up!!
A version for us who can't pay would be cool
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Im interested in buying this for my Legend to solve a problem.
Basically I love spotify but its main shortcoming is it doesnt have lockscreen controls.
Ive looked all over for some kind of hold down volume +- to change current media track but no joy.
Would it be possible to have some kind of overall media controls to add as a widget? What I mean is if anything is using the media output (could be any program) then skipping forward and back would work on whatever it is thats playing but not in focus.
There must be a way to do this ;(

I assume you are in a country that allows paid apps?
And are running Android 2.1 or 2.2?
If those are both true then what phone are you on? I can't think of any other reason WidgetLocker wouldn't be visible. It does not employe the "copy protection" that sometimes blocks market visibility.
i heard people on the 2.2 roms ... leaked and beta versions sometimes have issues seeing apps in the market

Using ADW here, and the ONLY time I see lag is when ADW has clearly gotten killed for whatever reason. Otherwise it comes up immediately.

I believe this is only when the app has the copy-protection option enabled on the market. I don't have that enabled for WidgetLocker (mainly because I want it visible to people on leaked roms)

iTouch24 and I identified the LauncherPro problem as an animation being run by LauncherPro whenever it is activated (and the animation is still run even if it's suppossed to be disabled. It just runs much faster.). I'm going to talk to Fredrico about seeing if WidgetLocker can bypass this animation and also suggest he add options to disable them in general as not all users want them. Also note that this LauncherPro delay is very minor (the length of a quick animation), not a serious lag issue.

Aha, 'splains that then. I haven't really used LauncherPro since trying ADW
I just found this app today after hearing about it on the last Android Atlas podcast. I love it as is but what I'm truly looking for is a pattern-based lock screen where the pattern points are invisible.
I love being able to customize my lock screen with all of the options that you have included with this app. But nothing would please me more than being able to to away with the slider all together in lieu a pattern lock where the points of contact are not seen.
I would love the added security while maintaining the aesthetics of the unlock screen options that you have included. Perhaps something to consider in any potential updates. Either way your app is quite nice.
sorta off topic but any of you guys have a suggestion for a missed call widget?
keep up the great work!

Thank you very much for this amazing application.
I use launcherpro and the live wallpaper don't work really good with.
Can you add in alternative wallpaper, an option to choose live wallpaper???
It's will be great if we can used LW ownskined.
Can we get this ported to the EVO?
Just the .apk would work, right? the DX's sms app looks so much better than any i've seen on any other phone. I'd love to have it.
give me some love, guys
+1 on this, but if im not mistaken this should go in the apps section
PM a Mod and ask them to move this to theming it'll get more attention there
+1 I can't stand the Sense mms app. Actually, I thought IncredibleDoes was developing a Droid X rom for the EVO and Incredible...
well it's been moved and other people are in agreeance, but it seems XDA isn't ever too keen to help someone out
I would like to see this as well since Handcent does not work well anymore on the EVO, its very very slow n it lags.

First of all, XDA doesn't do anything. That is simply the forum. It's the developers, many of them with jobs, kids and other responsibilities, that give up their time to help you. So at ease.
Secondly, if you had taken the time to do some googling, instead of posting a new whine every couple hours, you MIGHT have found: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/15/download-new-mms-apk-with-custom-settings/
EDIT1: Also, with a little more digging, i found the original APK from the droid x. http://rapidshare.com/files/431493880/Mms.zip
Anyone using this also getting fc when trying to change the font size ?
I was looking for this this morning. Well either this or the Vibrant/Galaxy S one. They're both similar. The Sense mms.apk is actually really good, it's just super slow.
For now I'm using Handcent with squared off chat bubbles and the Hero theme:

Are u experiencing any lag with handcent?? Like when the message is received it takes like 5-10 seconds longer till the phone notifys me even tho im viewing the message thro the quick reply screen.
Everything seems normal. But there are some things you have to change. In send settings, you have to tell it to split messages or ones longer than one text wont go through. Set it to "split by word" for the best results.
Also, disable the lockscreen popup if you have the stock sense loclscreen since it wont work and will wakelock your phone. And lastly, disable the lockscreen from turning on your screen so it doesn't turn on in your pocket.

I think i may have figured out part of the problem but not the whole problem. I had Blur background checked off which slows down pop up performance, so that might fix some of it hopefully.

This app is simple but useful for people that heavily use full screen apps (games/browsers/ect). It gives a nice little notification that shows the text message/email you just received, allowing you to decide if it's worth quitting your app to reply to it (see picture), even if you're in another app! You can turn the notifications on and off via the main screen. The best part of it is you can play and the notification will not interfere with your touch on the game. It might also have the simplest options menu.
FEATURE LIST:
Now supports K9 Mail (requires K9 Mail for functionality)
Shows the sender (name from contacts list or number if contact doesn't exist)
Shows the contents of the message
Low profile
Doesn't interfere with the touch interface of whatever task you are doing
Easy to turn on or off just by the touch of a checkbox
Lightweight
No more quitting Angry Birds just to see that someone texted you "lol"
Works in portrait and landscape orientations
Permissions explained:
Read SMS: So that it can read the text to show you
Read contacts: so that it can see if anyone in your contacts shares the same number and the text sender
Please report any bugs to me.
P.S. I know this is a VERY simplistic app and may seem pointless. If you feel that way that is fine, however I have had a lot of people that laughed at it originally tell me they can't use any full screen app without and they never turn it off. So I simply ask you give constructive criticism. Thank you!

I was testing the feature when I came across your thread, thats why I was able to troubleshoot so quick. Right now I have the HC "default app" setting turned off so I can continue using Text Notify!

This is actually insanely genius. I probably won't ever need to use it because I don't have that many full-screen apps, but the creativity and method of execution is great!
Good work

I like it. Wonder if it is possible to display it on the lockscreen as a notification and stay there until actioned?

Hmmm... I like that idea. I'll look into how I could accomplish this.

I had lightflow to do this for me but it was so delayed and messed with my notifications! This is awesome

Thank you! I had never heard of lightflow until now but it looks neat. Glad you like TN though.

I think I know why it interferes. I'll try to fix it asap. Hopefully next market update.
so this is a great phone. but theres two really annoying and upsetting issues.
1. when i get a notifcation, the screen doesnt wake up..really?
2.the sms themes they provide us. i love i can put my own background there, and individual ones too. but the bubbles SERIOUSLY are lacking, and are down right ridiculous. grey and beige? grey and teal? grey and purple? white and beige? oh, and the worst..a yellow sunshine bubble, and a pink sunshine bubble...and a pink piggy bubble, and a white chicken bubble.
i am 24 years old. i dont want to have anything to do with a bubble shaped like a pink pig or a white chicken.
are there any decent bloat-free apps out there that offer more customization, besides rooting?
Wondering the same thing

Try Textra amazing app for sms replacement. Looks better than stock version also no bloat and easy to set up.

c'mon the chicken and pig are pretty funny
ugly as sin and made for like a 8 yr old, but funny nonetheless.
all the customizations in the lg skin app are made for teenage girls it seems.

Does it have pop up feature like the stock sms?
I'm using Sliding SMS (CM Messaging). Looks good, is fully customisable and has pop up function as well.

In a different way, but yes :good:
I love the chicken and the pig, it's what I'm using now What I don't like about the stock one is you can't set individual notifications for different people. Does textra or sliding sms? Have been using go sms but want something less bloaty.

Yes you can. You just have to go into their contact profile the same way you would for a ringtone. I've lived with handcent or gosms or textra for about 4 years now and I'm enjoying the stock lg messaging app so far.

Yes it has a pop up sms setting plus a quick reply window. Very good app.
With Textra you can have individual contact notification to both sound and coloured icons
Funny thing is the OP isn't ask g about sms replacements but themes for the stop app

Everyone should try QKSMS. It looks great. Still in alpha, but works well

i love qksms, the development is coming along. def very fast and gorgeous (if you like material design) but not customisable if that's what the OP wants.
evolve is good too and has a ton of themes.
So about notifications not waking the screen up? Is that intentional or can we toggle it in settings somewhere? I'm using pin lock.
