For those on AOSP roms, what do you use as messaging app? - Thunderbolt General

The only thing holding me back from loading up an AOSP rom right now is the fact that I won't have the HTC messaging app.
On my droid 2 I always used Handcent, but the HTC messaging app was always a huge step up from that for me.
So I figure most use Handcent, or GO SMS, is that true?

If I'm using CM7 it's always the stock messenger. Any other rom I use handcent.

Handcent on every ROM, AOSP or not.

I saw your post on RootzWiki too. For what it's worth, I use Google Voice for all texting. That way it's logged in my Goog account, and I can access/reply to all of my messages from any browser and the Chrome extension.

Have you tried looking into Handcent, GoSMSPro or Chomp SMS? They are themable and I'm sure you can reproduce the look you want.
Since no one posted I went with handcent. It is pretty good and with Go keyboard it's a nice experience.

This is a GoSMS theme posted over at wp7android.com. Idk if this fits your needs. I just went and checked thier site and it seems their links are down.
Im not sure if im allowed to posted the apks here or not. I would assume so because anyone could download it before over there before.
The only problem i had with this theme is the "send" from the send button disappears when you're typing so you just have to press in the area it would be
Thanks, i like the WP7 messaging look.

Go SMS, love stock as well and if the group text function worked I'd probably use that instead.
In the end it's all preference, try them all out and see which one you like best.

I use Go SMS. I found that Go and Handcent functioned pretty much the same for me, only Go has a 'send later' option that didn't exist in the last version of Handcent that I tried.
I was using Go SMS but then i started using stock after getting the inverted gapps.
Stock TW for me.

Definitely Go SMS Pro. Well worth it in the long run, but plan on spending an initial hour or so getting it set up just right... and then you're golden.
what I miss, and I wish someone would come out with is the app from my droidx that had EVERYTHING in it. SMS, MMS, emails (exchange, and pop3), facebook messages, etc.. all in one app.
there isn't anything like that is there?

Sms App

i use to go sms cause of the features but it kinda slowed down.

Handscent SMS
Similar to Go SMS without any of the shady data transfers of unknown information that Go SMS tends to do.
Stock from viper 1.6

I don't want to fill the memory with a bunch of redundant apps.
So I'm just using the stock one.

If you just dont't want redundancy but want to try an aftermarket SMS app, you can always just uninstall the stock SMS app if you are rooted. Many aftermarket apps can handle the function of being the primary SMS app just fine.
Also....having duel SMS apps is not going to 'fill' your memory. I'd be shocked if you would ever be able to notice a performance difference because you were running 2 SMS apps.

I don't use sms apps usually and i prefer whats app over a messaging app. Some times i will use default messaging app present in my Rom.

I use handcents.
I agree with the op, go sms has been really nice for me, with scheduling features and different led colors per contact. But popup ads are a dealbreaker. I've tried handcent, but it was very slow for me. I'm seriously considering going back to the stock app
