I really liked the message count feature. It showed who I texted more often than others. It was a nice feature to have. Is there any way to bring this option back in the default messaging app? I know other apps such as ChompSMS have this feature but I'd really rather avoid the ads or pay for it.
Or another option I'm open to as an ICS ROM that has the message count feature.

i ve been using Handcent...works great ..LED can be customized per contact..has good interface
what about u guys?
Handcent all the way
Handcent sms! hands down!
add to the choir... handcent
Saw about it here and try it. Fantastic. Thanks people.
I use the full version of ChompSMS, I like the layout better than Handcent and the pop up reply feature is great!
I've both Handcent & ChompSMS Full, currently using Handcent but ChompSMS is great as well
I far prefer ChompSMS. Simpler and just plain works.
ChompSMS.....
I've used both Handcent and Chomp - I can say that they're both awesome but the only features that set them apart for mine was that in Handcent, when your msg tone is playing - when you enter the app, and select the unread msg, the tone stops, Chomp does not - this gets VERY annoying when you're a 21 year old that sends and receives A LOT of msgs each day!
However, the ChompSMS widget is much better than Handcent as the widget gives you a preview and is just set out a little better I feel, where as the Handcent widget is the icon with an unread counter.
For mine, I've chosen Handcent as the combination of features and the solid backing that I've yet to have had a force close error provides quite the service I require =]
If you have a SMS plan then handscent is great, but if you don't
Text plus is free as long you enable APN when you send.
Hamdsent and chompsms is NOT free. No one SMS me usually anyway, i just log on MSN droid most of the time.
Hello,
I've got a weird problem I'm trying to solve with bettercut. I think it should be relatively easy, but I'm stumped and was wondering if somebody could help me out.
I use an HTC Legend and I like SenseUI too much to change to another launcher. I use an App called SMS Popup to notify me of new messages, but this app - combined with SenseUI - creates a bug with the default Messages shortcut.
Basically, when I mark a message as Read with the SMS Popup, the default Messages shortcut keeps the notification badge telling me I have unread messages. Which is annoying, because to fix this I have to go into the messaging app, scroll to the message I've already read in order to convince SenseUI I've read it.
So basically, what I'm trying to do with BetterCut is launch the SMS app without the system treating it as a Shortcut that needs a notification badge. I read all of my SMSs immediately mostly so I never need it to tell me how many I need to read.
So far, I have the intent as:
android.intent.action.RUN
and the data as:
com.android.MMS
However, when I select this shortcut, it says the app isn't installed.
So could somebody help me either:
1. Make a shortcut with BetterCut to the default Messaging app which won't show notification badges
or
2. Turn off notification badges entirely, because I don't use them for email either and they kinda piss me off.
Thanks!
PS. I've searched forums and google extensively for this, so I wouldn't be asking if I hadn't already tried
Cheers
Anybody? I don't imagine it's that difficult, I'm just missing something
There must be somebody out there who knows how to do this
I could do this all day
Or night, depending on the time
Whenever i text someone and it has over 200 characters there's no option to keep writing the msg which is kinda annoying when trying to write a long msg to someone and have to stop half way through and send it and keep going, is there anyway to fix this?
you can try apps like Handcent or Go SMS. I prefer the latter. Also, I'm not sure, but is there an option in the SMS app to split msgs over 160 characters? I know CM7 and MIUI have this option, not sure about stock
I also found this floating around: LINK
It's an inverted MMS.apk w/auto split option and works if you are on a stock ROM and are rooted
Are there any SMS apps in the market that allow you to reply or mark as read from the notification instead of having to open the entire application?
Found the solution: 8sms.
I really want to try 8sms but the no auto-retrieve MMS thing kinda kills it. Plus that icon is terrible!
this is the sms apk from aosp 4.3, no idea if it'll work on 4.4 or if it'll install as a normal app or it'll need putting in the system apps

Verizons sucks imo. Everytime I try to change a color of a text bubble for my conversations the **** never ****ing saves. Also with the new lollipop update my group.me app has a little dialog box that scrolls down from the top of the screen and shows me the first 7 or so words of the persons message with the ability to reply and or like their comment, I was wondering if any of you know of a texting app with this capability. thanks
Textra
I use evolve, I love being able to reply from the status bar and swipe through different message feeds with quick swipe in for the conversation list. It's also very customizable.
Hangouts. I find it pretty good. Previously had used Handcent but since Hangouts integerates sms, mms and voice, it works great for me.
