WM Google SMS app - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I've been rummaging through the forums trying to see if there is an Application for Windows Mobile that works with Google voice for sending/receiving SMS messages, since Google has again introduced breaking changes into their API? Does anyone know of one?

[Q] Text to Speech (TTS) and Emails

Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows how to get the Android to read my emails to me?
I've tried using both Gmail, and the mail application and can't get it to use Text To Speech.
Is this something that needs the application to be specifically designed for TTS, and if so are their any applications around that support it. (Although I find it hard to believe that Google's own flagship mail apps don't.. but I've been known to be wrong before... or so my wife tells me)
Cheers

[Q] SMS via messaging app shows as Google Voice number

I'm not sure if this is a new google feature or an issue on my end.
I use the native messaging app to send out sms to certain people to display my carrier provided number and the google voice app to send out sms to other people to display my google voice number. i discovered that regardless of using google voice or the native messaging app(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507720), it was going through as my google voice number (e.g. google voice and/or native messaging app sends sms as google voice number). this is what i originally thought was happening until i discovered that if i send an sms with the native messaging app to another user with google voice installed, it goes through as my google voice number. if i send an sms with the native messaging app to someone without google voice installed, it displays my carrier provided number.
*obviously if i send an sms from the google voice app, it shows up as the google voice number*
i'm not exactly sure how to fix this. i could be completely wrong in the scenario above because i've only tested it with several other friends. i have made no changes to my google voice web settings, nor my google voice app and native messaging app.
any help is greatly appreciated.
i'm on verizon, gs3 android 4.1.1
even with google voice uninstalled and the phone rebooted, sending from the native messaging app sends through as my google voice number
bump
anyone?
Install the Google voice app and in the app settings. Click on send text through app instead of through phone messaging app. This might help

Sync and integration: SMS, Google Voice and Google Hangouts

So I've been searching the web for a clear explanation but am now more lost than before.
Goal: I would like to have my SMS/MMS synced and backed up across devices (much like iMessage i suppose) - preferably with Hangouts - so that I can reply to a text message from my computer or another device - I would also like to see my Google Voice voicemails in the hangouts app also.
Is this even possible?
I've seen google help docs with instructions on how to integrate Voice with Hangouts but I do not see those settings in my Hangouts app. Am I missing something?
And I recall reading about Hangouts being capable of syncing SMS and MMS messages across devices - not sure if it's a projectFi exclusive feature or what.
Any suggested apps to accomplish my goal if google apps are not the way to go? Please advise. I don't use google voice for free calls or text messaging - it's sole purpose is to keep my voice messages. Nor do I use Hangouts for free calls or free messaging. I'd like to use my carrier service and phone number.
I'm not rooted (anymore, thanks to android pay) so non-root solutions would be most helpful - though root solutions may pull me back to the dark side.

Remove SMS from Android entirely

I'm running Oreo 8.1 with Project Fi and the SMS integration is terrible with Hangouts. I don't particularly like hangouts either but periodically apps try and send or receive SMS's and it screws up Hangouts when anything touches SMS. Does anyone know a way to actually REMOVE SMS services, drivers, whatever from Android? Basically like a tablet but with phone support. I searched high and low on forums but found nothing. Help would be greatly appreciated!

Just freeze hangouts with Titanium backup if you don't want it.

I use hangouts as it is the only option to have cloud based SMS on Project Fi that I know about. Already removed the stock messaging app but many other apps use SMS. Facebook messenger in particular activates its SMS permissions somehow every once in a while and it screws crap up.

App request

Is it possible to reverse engineer android message to add support for Google voice integration?
I know kinda weird question, I am just tired of limitation of using Google voice app for messaging, maybe any developer with app development experience can mod Google messages to support Google voice messages.
