Hi every one
I'm currently looking for a SMS app that let me see my list of conversation on the left and the conversation I selected on the right (something like the landscape mode SMS app for Galaxy SII). All I can find when looking for a tablet SMS app are apps that read SMS from a phone and display them on the tablet, but that's not what I'm looking for, as I want this app on my Paranoid Android Galaxy S. I hope what I mean is understandable enough, thanks in advance for anyone who answers.
So you want the SMS app to look like the tablet version of gmail?

Yes, I'm looking for something like that.
The sidekick 4g also has a stock mms app in that style. Somebody would need to recompile it for aosp though. Better off with the other one though cuz the sidekick used custom everything...

split view
samsung comes with a nice split view on galaxy tabs, unfortunately lost the view with switch to cm.
in the market is tablet sms by player thong, which only helps you with sms sent from this app.
on the left is the contact list. checked it, deleted it.
No other good sms app for phablets?

HI Everyone,
i am so new to the andriod system, and coming from my nokia my life is rather difficult atm. I am after 2 things 1 x when i recive an sms i always have to drag the the notification bar down to get the sms, is there an app that when i get an sms or miss a call it syncs with my led notification and pops up on my screen so i just need to tap it away i go to see the missed call or sms?
and 2 is there an app to replace that stupid mediascape ? so i can view my galleries of movies and pictures better ? that mediascape is so crappy it drives me up the wall.
i have unbrabded X10a
firmware 1.6 Build number R2BA026 rooted phone that i managed to do yesterday. thanks for the help in advanced.
For your sms try downloading handcent sms from the market.
I haven't found a gallery app that gives me photos AND videos but if you wanted something better looking for photos try just pictures app also from the market.

HI thanks for the relply angie i will look into those apps.
I am ok with the mediascape, with the upgrade of Android 2.1, the speed for the mediascape should be improved.

If you don't want to install an entire sms program like handcent you can download sms popup from the market. You'll still use the default sms app(which i think is pretty nice) but it will give you a popup that you can reply/close/delete directly from.

oh that is perfect that is what i want. i will look into that one. thanks heaps.
btw when is the new release of 2.1 coming out?
Early apologies if this is in the wrong section but i couldnt find anything when i tried searching this topic.
Anyway, my old htc phones (windows mobile), the screen would turn on and i would get a preview of a text i just received.
on the inspire, the screen remains off even though the notification noises and vibrations play.
is there any way to make the screen turn on as well ?
it drives me nutts that i cant just glance at my phone!! i have to turn it on then do the unlocking, etc.
any help is much appreciated!
I don't know about the stock HTC SMS app but there's an option for this in GoSMS. I highly recommended it.
Or you can try sms popup.

+1 - Great app!
Handcent has screen wake option. And it by far is better than stock messaging app anyway, a billion options to use.

Can't get into handset, it just looks too ugly - even with the skins.
They need to update handcrnt for higher resolution/larger displays.

What he said!
Handcent, second to none for SMS!
thanks a lot guys!
i will definitely try out the apps you've mentioned.
umm?
im loving go sms pro. very clean interface.
however, i accidentally deleted some text messages.
and i dont see a deleted items folder.
is there any way to recover deleted texts??
another vote for handcent here..
Go SMS Pro seems pretty promising thus far. I hated Handcent because of the overall 'old' feel and sluggish performance. Go SMS was a little laggy but I bumped the performance down to the "middle" level and it seems to work quite well now.

If you didn't use the backup that Go SMS offers I don't think you can get them back. Maybe they're hidden somewhere but I wouldn't know how to go about finding them.
If you don't want to change messaging apps, you might want to look at SMSawake or SMS Screen WakeUp.
I'm using Chomp SMS. Let's you preview text and lot's of other options.
Well the title really says it all. I was wondering if any dev out there could rig something like this up? I know the Handcent has it and so do a bunch of other market apps but i like to stick to the original app. Thanks guys.
Sms popup does it and blends really well with stock app

Just curious, I'm a heavy texter and the stock messaging doesn't really work for me. I downloaded Handcent, and it seems to do the job fine. But what messaging apps do you guys use?
And is there a way to download the stock vanilla Android messaging apk found on Nexus Ones, G2's etc?
I'm using stock right now, works OK for me although I haven't really explorer too many other apps. When I first got my infuse I used chomps sms which is just like bites for iphone. Quick reply and compose are the 2 things I really like.

Only other alternative to stock I've tried is go SMS pro. Its pretty good but as a preference I run stock with the android keyboard.

Been using handcent since i started using android... U can customize jus abt everything, including each specific txt thread, to ur liking. The main feature i use it for, however, is the ability to lock the txt messages (both handcent & stock) it so has the quick reply which is cool...
message from Sams inFuse... GINGERBREAD *****ES!!!!
I'm also using chomp SMS. I came from iPhone and had bitesms installed. Chomp is made by the same company as bite, so a lot of the features are similar. Quick reply and compose are my favorites. The lock screen notification isn't as good as bite for iphone, but its tolerable.

Handcent is pretty good but I went back to using the default messaging app. Just a lot less laggy imo.

Same here. Havent tried any others. Got used to "bite" on the iphone and so gave chomp a try. Always big on the custom text tones for specific contacts. Sure its not the only one with it. But i was used to it so went with it.
I tried of them out last night and ended up deleting all of them. The resolution of the apps were all terrible and did not look good on this super amoled plus screen. Sorry but that bugged me lol.

I use GO SMS Pro
I have try Stock, Chomp, Go SMS Pro, and Handcent. Go SMS Pro by far the best looking and best working SMS application IMO. For those using Handcent check out Go SMS Pro almost the same editing wise but slicker looking.
I use Go SMS Pro and love it. Didn't care for Chomp SMS as much as I did BiteSMS on iPhone.
I'm also using Go SMS Pro. The only downside is if you receive multiple images in a single message, they just show on a single page and you can't save them for Gallery viewing (at least as far as I can tell, lol). In that specific scenario, I switch over to the default Messaging app.
Haven't tried any other apps. The one feature I really like about Go SMS is the Private message box, not sure if that is available in other apps. You can also schedule messages, kind of neat for "texting in sick" early in the AM before the boss-man is awake (and can reply)
Go SMS does not appear to be able to show texts on the lock screen, but I always disabled that feature in iOS so not a concern for me.
I don't really want to start a war of the texting world. But what are your preferences for texting apps and why?
Hand cent, GO, etc.
Thanks all. Just want friendly discussion.

AOKP has a stock ICS SMS app that has Emoji. I love it.

Although it has a large footprint like Handcent, GoSMS is terrific for a lot of reasons. First, it has two plugin downloads for emoticons/Emojis. It comes with standard happy/sad/confused faces, but one plugin adds elaborate faces, symbols and icons (probably close to 300) and are much more detailed. The second plugin adds something like large vector art.
And some may be asking "how can my recipient get these things in their messages if they are not supported--or if one of these items turns the message into an MMS?
Well that's the most nifty thing about it. It had a service that is linked to the app which routes it around their servers and straight to your recipient as a data-based MMS. In other words, even if you cannot typically send MMS because your APN is wrong or whatever, this app makes sure your texts get through...essentially it's an SMS-over-IP service. Plus, your recipient does not need to have it installed.
Lastly GoSMS can be infinitely skinned. I am not sure what Handcent can do, but I use images for the background of my conversations list and my actual conversion (which can be customized for each recipient). It also scans all other apps for any fonts it can use, and offers them to be used as part of the UI..

I prefer GoSMS. I don't like the stock sms client and originally used Handcent until it started force closing all the time. If this had not start happening, I would probably still use handcent. GoSMS is highly customizable which I like.
I'm using the inverted AOSP Stuff out of this forum from he_stheone64. Because it's look very smart and clean for me and it's much easier to handle than this htc sense stuff..
thats my opinion why I had chosen them.
