This is an app I found. Its in the playstore, search it up or follow link below. It by no mean requires root, or is specifically for the blaze, but I think its a great add on for anyone who had not seen it before, just a suggestion

A great option for someone who doesn't gave gosms pro because of gosms ex cause its wayy to heavy (me, lol.). Haha, that's right iPhone,! We don't need to jailbreak(root) for this on our phones.! A thanks for you, kind sir.

Or, you can use handcent messenger, which looks so much better than the tw SMS app.

From the forums it seems like the infuse's timing was right to grab a lot of former 3GS owners like myself. I'm wondering if anyone else has found or knows of a good replacement for tlert and intelliscreen. I've asked on a few threads but haven't gotten any responses. Right now I'm using executive assistant which I've seen suggested elsewhere, but it doesn't mark emails and texts as read after you look at them which is annoying. I'm currently using Handcent for texts, but the pop up is huge and annoying. Tlert was great because texts were so unobtrusive on the screen. Texts wouldn't get in my way on a the 3.5" screen, but they take it over on the 4.5" screen, just doesn't seem right.
bump. I'm getting used to the lock screen but the lack of quick text is killing me. Anyone want to develop an app?
As someone who long used iOS as well I found tlert missing as well. I found that ChompSMS does a great job of making texting more like the iPhone experience. It also does in app and lockscreen quick reply. As for intelliscreen no real advice for you. Hope that helps.

Use widgetlocker for intelliscreen-like experience. Lets you put any of your home screen widgets on your lockscreen (i.e. Calendar, contacts, etc.). Handcent or chompSMS for the texting stuff.

Oh you mean GO SMS PRO?
Don't ever use that term LACK with regards to customization on Andriod, I am an iPhone lover for a.long time, but now I see the light lol, don't get me wrong Steve did a great job on his devices, but gets boring in just 1month of having it, in Android all you got to do is make a new customization every month it's like having a new phone again
Enjoy

For quick text try SMS pop up
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
All these sms apps have very similar text pop ups. What I miss about tlert is that they would pop up but I literally could keep reading what I was or whatever because they wouldn't be in the way. These popups take up the whole screen. I'd rather just have a notification I can look at when I want to (if I can't have an unobtrusive pop up)
I have Stumbled upon this post also looking for a Tlert like app.... It is an amazing texting app... (for a jailbroken iPhone)
All the apps that I have seen on the android market place are bulky and not as streamline as Tlert is
Also sent a message to the dev to see if he is going to be making it for android

Already did that, got a resounding no
What's your favorite 3rd party messaging app?!
GoSMS Pro here. Just like the way in which it has all the features you could ask for, has a good widget, though performance could be better.
chompSMS has good performance, but not enough features; Handcent is the weakest IMO.
Stock 2.3 is very, very good actually.
Im using the stock with my thunderbolt and it generally feeezes after every text message I reply to.. its really annoying so I was looking for something better.
GoSMS pro
works great.

How is this "WRONG SECTION"
I believe that this is subject matter that is directly related to the forum of ANDROID APPS AND GAMES.
MESSAGING is an APP-lication on the ANDROID platform
So this seems acceptable location.
I have used a multitude of messaging apps
GO sms
GO sms Pro
Handcent
Chomp SMS
Touchwiz
I honestly would prefer GO SMS Pro and Handcant because of the features. Although the con to that would be a laggy messaging system. If you are looking for a good light weight messaging system i would recommend Chomp sms or running GO SMS Pro in its lightweight mode.
Handcent!

Mine is Handcent SMS which i can free download from Topbestfreeapps.
thanks for all the answers! i'm going to try gosms and chomp. cheers!
I was curious if anyone had any suggestions for a replacement for the stock messaging app with ICS. I think the stock one looks pretty bad and have tried several of the 3rd party ones with mix results. I am really hoping for a modified version of the stock app but I would gladly accept any recommendations whether it be another 3rd party app I haven't tried, a theme to of these apps, or others or a modded version of the stock.
So far I have tried:
GoSMS
Handcent SMS
Pansi SMS
chompSMS
Contapps
I tend to like minimal style themes that still flow well with the stock look of ICS. The stock messaging app just feels out of place in regards to the look and feel of ICS in general. I been looking around and haven't find anything that I really like so I figured I'd lean on the community for suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
I was looking for something that looked like ICS too, I agree that the stock ICS messaging app doesn't fit in :-\ all I've found that was interesting was an inverted version of the stock ICS one, black background and the emoticons were blue
Pansi sms app is very good thanks

Handcent wins this one. I used to like gosms but they added too much extra stuff I didn't need to it. Handcent is nice. It has a delaysend option so you don't sent the wrong message to someone, or so you can correct a message if you notice it's wrong. Awesome stuff.

I'm with you OP. If there was just a black or grey themed version of the stock app it would be fantastic. Same thing with the Gmail app.
simple question:
i want to change sms app, i tryed handcent, chompsms, pansi, and using gosms for a long time but i dont need the cuteness o skin or anytingh useless... i need only a stock, fastest,lightest sms app that don't crash if i have more than 1000sms... (something like show last 100sms)

LIFE! It's what you make out of it!
it's for 4.0 or higher i'm on 2.3.7 i have a desire the world is cruel )
but i', found a guide for modify mms.apk ... modified all things and the stock app run better (finally i've found why sms split count 70-80 char instead 160) and like i want only 1 thingh miss.. limit conversation to show last 100sms whitout deleting them... or my gf conversation (8000+ sms) fc the app...
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?

Are there any text messaging apps with a quick reply feature like in stock that I don't need root to install? I have an HTC One and came from a Galaxy Nexus and miss that feature so much. I've tried some other apps, but nothing seems to have the ability to swipe down on a notification in the notification bar and reply like that without having to go into the app. The closest I've seen is the constant notification quick message thing in Handcent.
