Just want to get people's opinions on what they think is the best text messaging app for this phone and why. Thanks for your input.

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

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?

The only thing holding me back from loading up an AOSP rom right now is the fact that I won't have the HTC messaging app.
On my droid 2 I always used Handcent, but the HTC messaging app was always a huge step up from that for me.
So I figure most use Handcent, or GO SMS, is that true?
If I'm using CM7 it's always the stock messenger. Any other rom I use handcent.

Handcent on every ROM, AOSP or not.

I saw your post on RootzWiki too. For what it's worth, I use Google Voice for all texting. That way it's logged in my Goog account, and I can access/reply to all of my messages from any browser and the Chrome extension.

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
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

Textra is the best. Sliding Messenger is another good one.

I am using the new hangouts, I haven't used video calls, ever, so I don't care about that, and MMS I use so rarely as to not care about that either. The SMS part works great for me so far.
MMS works as well. I'm using all the files leaked on Android Police flawlessly. Even the launcher.

You sure the Google search bar works? Mine FCs, even with the work around I seen posted.

I installed the .apk and pushed the modified file from XDA, per an article at AndroidPit. No issues for me on my Optimus G Pro.

For anyone using Omar's or JellyAOSP and wants a fairly AOSP sms app with working mms, try 8sms! It looks much better than stock sms, and has quick reply pop-ups.

Thank you.
I am using it now on stock ROM. It works really good but not correctly in stand-alone mode.
Yea, stand alone doesn't work for me either. Hopefully it's fixed soon.

This is a nice app! You can use mmsdependencies from omar or mercurio and get this as a standalone... kinda
This is exactly what I was after, thanks. It's a bit annoying having two messaging apps but the AOSP app is loads nicer than the moto one.

Just keep the mmsdependencies.apk and place 8sms. You still need to enable standalone mode, though, otherwise it wont save your mesages

instead of 8sms you can use textra (seems a little bit leaner than 8smms).
