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.

Alternative SMS?

So I've been thinking about dropping my SMS/MMS bundle plan to safe a little money. There are some free apps in the Market to text for free with data. Which do you recommend? I am currently testing Pinger, which is great. The only flaw I see is that I'm not able to text with the original number I also use for calling (which creates confusion with my friends and family.) Also, when I'm on Edge the app doesn't load/refresh for new messages. Any body find a (near) perfect alternative?
Thanks

Doesn't that require people to use the app as well? I use it for international texting with my brother but he also uses the app, can you send to a dumb phone and receive from the same person?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Nope. The other end should have whatsapp too. But its better than juggling two numbers, one for calls and the other for text.
I have free global texting so I hardly use whatsapp even.

Doesn't that app also require the person receiving the message to have it installed? And does it use the native number? Hmm. Google voice seemed nice, but I couldn't understand how it worked and doesn't support MMS.

I'm not sure if this will work or not but have you tried the GO SMS GO chat?

Why not use one of the IM clients out there? That's what I use to text my girl while she's in Canada.

What about Google Voice?

As I said, no MMS support.

I use Viber. It's an all in one and it's free and no adverts!!
People that you message do require it though as of course it uses Wifi or your Data Plan!
Also this allows to MMS/SMS in one shot also your can call people with this app. Again all using data so it's a VoIP app.
I tested the calling feature and it comes in quite clear! SMS with it is good also.
Hope this is somewhat of what you were looking for...

GoSMS tons of customization

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.

Go SMS Pro

I've tried them all and keep returning to go sms. Great themes too
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

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?

Req messaging app???

Is there a messaging app the would give a real time alert (stated "typing") when in text conversation to notify you that the other person is responding to your message. Any help or thought and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Yeah but that's an app where both parties need to have that installed where I am looking for more of an sms app. How does that app even work and forgive my silly questions
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Hmm, idk if the facebook messenger app does that, u can use it to text people and both parties don't need it
Sent from my SCH-1535 using Tapatalk 4

I use whatsapp and it does that. Possibly one of the best messaging apps there is. Both parties need it, and it is a dollar, but you can use wifi and it is rock solid stable. One of the best purchases I've made in the play store.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

yeah you are only going to get that functionality when both parties are using the same app. And it would have to be a messenger/chat type app not a strictly sms/mms type app

What SMS program do you use?

Currently I use go SMS but lately u have been putting so many ads into the app.
Just wondering what u guys use.

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
