Thanks. I found the way to change everything but that.

if I take this way I can only use the standard sounds. how can I use personal sounds?
e.g. "you've got mail" sound from AOL for email-notification?

[CM10] Foursquare menu and sharing to to Facebook

I've noticed recently that when sharing a Check-in from Foursquare to Facebook that its only shared with me in Facebook and not with my friends - essentially I'm sharing with myself only.
So I go to Foursquare to see if there is an option I'm missing, but I cannot get to the settings menu. I've got my "recent apps" key mapped as a tab for menu which works in all other apps. I also enabled the three dot menu option in CM settings but that does not show anything in the Foursquare interface. I've reinstalled Foursquare and still no dice.
Anyone else with these issues?

SMS app like Chat Heads??

So the new Facebook messenger comes with chat heads and I really like the idea of it. I was wondering if anyone knew of a strictly SMS texting app that is similar in that it allows me to reply AND VIEW my messages on top of any other app? pop up reply is cool from certain apps but I like that I can view my messages with chat heads. thanks!

Thanks for the tip! Does it use a lot of data if i just use it for SMS? And i'm looking into Ninja sms now

So ninja SMS is cool but I like chatheads in that I can actually view a convo whenever I want (not just when I receive the message). like I want a tab or something to always be visible

Ya I saw that to! I emailed the developer about that, and a few other glitches I found in the 5 minutes I had it running. I can see it going far in the app world, but there are some items that need to be addressed.

It's in the SMS/MMS tab under settings within the Facebook Messenger Application.

Here's a screen shot

Nothing yet....
It appears that there has been an update since my first install. I had it disabled and it didn't update. Just updated but gonna disable again, looks like none of my finds were fixed according to the change log in the playstore.

I love the idea but I'm still wanting a tab or something to ALWAYS be showing in any app, ya know? so I can view (or create) messages anywhere without leaving my current app

I would love to have only the popout function (like on FB-messenger) but on my stock SMS-app.
I really like the stock-feeling and honestly, Facebook really succeded with their popout. Sleek, good looking, smooth and functional.
Wish there were some kind of extension

Wish it would work with whatsapp too

I just bought this. I like the idea but wish there were more Themes, the current color/combo is just plain ugly.

There's an app called bubble notification haven't tried it but it looks similar...

Hangouts and multiple pics

Stupid question but how can you send multiple pictures from hangouts? I go to the gallery app and multi select but the hangout app doesn't display for sharing. I can only do one at a time

Still doesn't support this... Any workarounds with downloading another messaging app and not setting it to default messenger.

go to the hangouts chat that you want to share your pics with, and at the bottom you'll see a camera icon along with others, hit the gallery icon and you'll be able to send multiple pics on it, you can only send 10 at a time, I sent 50 but only 30 went tru, the other 20 it says: "message not sent, retry" I have resent the 20 but still they don't go tru, it might be a limit on how many pics can you send in one day.

Favorite messaging app?

Since we now have the option to pick in 4.4, what's your favorite messaging app? I've been using Ninja SMS. I prefer a Holo interface, and the chat heads mean I never have to look at the interface itself anyways.

Hangouts is my favorite.

I actually really, really like the hangouts app.
A lot.

Hangouts or textra for simplicity. Smart messenger for more features and speed. Has message back ups and works with your Google drive to send files.

AOSP MMS. Identical to the standard 4.3 MMS app.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Hangout isn't bad, but I really miss the remove/change not compatible unicode options.
For this reason my favorite is the 8sms https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms. Looks like the stock 4.3 sms app, but have more options.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I tried 8sms, but sometimes wouldn't receive pictures in MMS. It would appear as a triangle. Looks like a play button. Same with the stock messaging .apk. Any ideas?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Another vote for Textra. Has some nice features, but not overly complicated or bloated. Handles MMS picture messages and iPhone-style group messages great.

Can't let handcent go. Its been on every phone I've owned dating back to my HTC Evo

This isn't making any sense to me, you have always been able to pick whatever messaging app you want.

Textra hands down.

Ahh sorry for my lack of input guys, I forgot to subscribe to the thread when I posted it. I'm loving the input though. I might have to try Textra, seeing as it's getting such positive reviews.
@krabman Sure, you could always use any SMS app, but it was never flawless. In KitKat there technically isn't a default SMS app. You pick whatever you want.

In sorry but you have always been able to pick whatever you want and it would work without issue. All you had to do is turn off notifications in the stock messaging app which wasn't any harder than what you need to do now. What you didn't have to do was set your shiny new messing app as default because the operating system did it for you. If you installed multiple messaging apps like handcent and chomp it would then give the option to set one as default and you could go into the main settings/applications and remove that default just like any other application installs such as launchers or galleries where more than one app could be called to perform an action.

See above. Assuming all the various messaging apps get tuned up to work on 4.4 you will have exactly the same options you had on 4.3, no more no less. There is no now you can pick.
