I haven't tried any ICS early builds and probably will just wait for the official release. But I do have a question that maybe someone who has tried the early builds can answer now?
On ICS with the standard SMS app, are 160+ char messages auto-split? It is a very minor problem but it is probably my biggest gripe with GB that it can't do this. I end up using a 3rd party app (with auto-split capability) for long messages, but I'd prefer to use stock for everything.
Thanks!
No, there isn't auto split. Its gonna stop exactly at 160 and it won't let you pass that.
someone posted the mms app from CM7 (for gingerbread of course) which enabled sms split, i was using it up until i went to ICS. you can switch to dark theme and other stuff too. check it out if you stick with gb.
The stock SMS app has always been crap since I got my Nexus. I have been using GoSMS for ages, and for the couple hours I was on aosp's ICS rom, I was using it as well. Very customizable, and sleek.

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.

New to android just bought the att skyrocket 2 i727. I left the iphone behind after being with them from the beginning. Already rooted and running space pirates v1 Rom very nice fast and smooth. But im wondering what is the best sms program and what is everybody using and when i do install a new sms program can i delete the stock or does the new run off the old like they did for iphone.
GoSMS. It has tons of themes, and is normally updated every weekend. It has a ton of features as well.
The released a version where you could remove the stock sms app but I always had trouble receiving mms after. Although I haven't tried since I got my 727.
I prefer it over handcent, chompsms,
And I think libertine sms (a really minimalist sms app). It's good on memory and you can also select what options are enabled. It also has sms/mms backup and restore, and other little features that I appreciate having.

Nice! Thanks for sharing this theme. My biggest gripe with gosms was nothing really matched pics. This helps tremendously.
Does gosms receive photos from iphone users? Since I replaced the stock superlite 5.0 with the ics mms (I assume this is aosp. What does aosp stand for anyways?) I can't receive photos from anyone but can send them fine... It just says download and after you press it nothing happens.

Make sure "Auto Receive" is turned on in the stock messaging first. You should be able to receive messages from iPhone users

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.
Ok. So i've searched all the threads and I was wondering if there was a themed MMS.apk program that could be used with, lets say a KJ6. I'm in love with the one for CM9 however I don't feel like moving to CM9. (still too buggy) I've asked Lumin and he says that the .apk file for the themed MMS for CM9 only works on that ROM. Well, I was wondering if anyone knew of any such type of theme that can be used for GB on Valhalla Final. Any info would be greatly appreciated
Most of the messaging replacement apps like go and handcent have theme that will make the app look like a ics app.
Did you try this, didn't get great reviews but its what you're looking for
Also couldn't find anywhere that its works on gb but I assume it does.

Well thats your opinion but coming from a long time iOS user they aren't that bad. They're smaller and black and sometimes they're kinda hard to figure out what the emoji is but for the most part its pretty good

Not with the stock Samsung MMS app, but I believe the stock Google MMS app supports emoji, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728308. Personally, I use the blacked out version from page 7 of the same thread, http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29460-inverted-inverted-g-apps-update-7-5-new-playstore-ver-3713-and-mms-app/. It's a bit quirky but certainly better than the Samsung MMS app.
any update on this? I actually really like the Touchwiz mms app haha but when i'm using something like instagram and someone comments with emojis, i can't see them.
EDIT: Found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792745 gonna give it a shot
bumping this since I just found this. anyone tried it?
