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

OK, I've tried all the big ones, go contacts ex, dialer one, and TouchPal Dialer. Each one seems to have a unique feature or coolness to it, mostly go contacts or TouchPal, but they seem to be lacking or be incomplete... For example when using go and trying to edit a contact... You can't join multiple contacts together... If i was going to use a third party dialer I would want to freeze at the least the stock... With a third party sms app, i use handcent, i don't lose any functionality save for maybe the green dot.. But who uses that? Haha, so what in curious is, is out of all the dialers what is everyone's personal recommendations?

I'm still looking too.
My dialer has to be efficient to work with a large contact list (good search). I don't need integration with anything else than Google Contacts (no Facebook, etc). But I'l like some management tools, like 'call back tomorrow' with alarm, integration with a todo list, etc.

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.

Huh? U guys must've missed a setting, because I have exdialer and from both the call log and contacts page I can swipe left/right to call and text
As for.messaging, exdialer doesn't have a messaging app component, so up until recently I've been using gosms. I have since found the cm10 theme Xperia s 2.0 which makes the stock sms app look AMAZING and have been using that

I meant the contacts app. Not the contacts within exdialer. I flashed embryo and had it for a couple days. I'm stuck between aokp because of the rezound mod or embryo for the swipe feature.

I tried using exdialer for a day, it just didn't feel right for me. Though I will keep an eye on it just it case the developers develop a similar messaging app. As of now I'm on embryo because my earphones broke.

there is a way to do this?
That's the only thing I miss from my iphone was not having to deal with character limits what app will give me this? Do any have a setting so the iphone thinks it's coming from another imesage account so I can still text all of the other folks I haven't been able to convert to android?

Tried go sms, handcent and chomp. Don't like any of them. Would love to see the cm, or similar, messaging app as a stand alone app for all devices.

I'm not actually sure if it will work. It might not be compatible with 4.4 or it might be glitchy. In any case it would prob be best to just stick to hangouts. Not sure though. Anyone have any input if this will work?
8sms. Best sms app. Looks like stock, fast, and quickreply from notification shade.

I've installed 8SMS, set it to Standalone Mode and disabled Hangouts in Settings/Apps.
Strangely, under Settings/Wireless & networks/Default SMS, 8SMS doesn't show up. I'll be asking someone to text me soon to test that everything is working as it should be. I'll report back.
Edit: Running in Standalone mode didn't work but as soon as i deselected it i could receive SMS. Unfortunately sent messages aren't being received so i'm going back to using Hangouts for now.
I had no idea that Textra and 8sms existed until now (and I've been doing the Android thing since donut). I've been using Hangouts or the CM app, but for non rooted phones I could never find a messaging app I liked. These are beautiful and I'll be putting one on friends' phones to replace the (usually) lacking SMS stock apps.
