I'm not referring to the groupMe app, because they'd also have to install that.
I've tried Go SMS, pansi SMS, chomp SMS, and they don't seem to do it perfectly.
When I receive a group text from an iphone user, I want it to make a new thread with all members of the group text, where I can seamlessly respond to all users. Moreover, the stock app does this in a way that my response is not received as a group text on their end, but simply a message to them (as well as whoever else was in the group). Thus, the response goes into our 1v1 chat thread.
All I want is a plugin, rom, app, anything that solves this ridiculously frustrating issue.
I'd like to know as well. I have not been able to find an easy way to do it. I'm guessing it's Apple hating on us Android folks.
GoSMS does it very well, subject to a few limitations, not sure why it is not working for you. A couple of things to keep in mind.
1) The proper threading is not native but is run after the fact. This requires that the message be fully downloaded before it is properly threaded. This can take 10-15 seconds, if you open the message during that time it will not thread correctly.
2) Unfortunately the app will notify you twice, once the original message is received, and once it is recategorized. I handle this by shutting of sound and vibration in the app and using Tasker instead. If two notifications arrive within 15 secs Tasker just ignores the second one.
From what I have been told Handcent will do something similar
The GoSMS / Handcent implementations are ****. Sorry, but they are.
I've heard tell that Android finally put native group SMS / MMS into Android 4.2, which will likely never come to our phone officially but hopefully we'll get some of the benefit at least as things trickle down in the development community.
I'm also trying to find a solution to this too and I'm always hoping that every update of Go Sms and Handcent fixes this feature. Like one of the previous replies above stated, GO SMS will give you double notifications. It's annoying because it slows down your phone if you get too many all at once.
I've found that Handcent works better than GO SMS because it only notifies you after the message has been downloaded and you don't get double notifications. However, it's still flawed because sometimes your messages hang and dont download properly unless you physically click download. Also, sometimes when you're sending a text and try to hit send, it looks like it sends but just disappears. If you wrote a long message, you would have to re-type it all over again and hope it sends correctly the second time.
If you install CM 10.1 (android 4.2.2), this group messaging feature is baked into the rom. This is probably the best experience I've had to get the group messaging to work. It works like how an iphone user would see it. However, CM 10.1 still has some minor glitches that made me temporarily go back to sense roms. With every nightly, things seem to be getting better though. I will probably try it again in a couple weeks.
Currently I'm back on Viper using Handcent.

Am I doing something wrong here?

I've been told before that SMS apps for stock Android won't work on Sense ROMs and vice-versa. No idea why or if that's really true.

I've successfully run a CM10.1 mms.apk in CM10, but I've never tried this with Sense. Do you know what ROM that mms.apk file you have is actually from? I know CM10.1's mms.apk is compiled to require a minimum of JB 4.1, but versions from other JB 4.2 ROMs might have possibly been compiled to require JB 4.2
FWIW: mms.apk file is normally located in the /system/app folder, which requires root permissions to move a file to. File permissions might also need to be modified. Sense doesn't normally has a mms.apk in there since the stock messaging app is built around Sense and I believe the name starts with "htc", but I would assume a new mms.apk would at least run. I'm not sure whether this file location and permissions are actually part of your problem
update -
I've tried the entire process of putting the app in system, setting permissions, and installing, rebooting etc. No avail. App still force closes as soon as it opens.
I think the problem is in fact something to do with sense. I deleted the old messaging app as well first but that didn't do anything either.
Damn.
4.2.2 MMS force closes on viper 4.1
I uninstalled all the htc language packs, htc messaging. Install mms.apk.
I can get the app open, change settings, type a message... But as soon as I add a recipient it force closes.
Since I can do the things I can with the app open seems as though it should be able to work
If there is anyone that wants to work on this? I don't want to bug Turge with it.
Which mms.apk did you install?

It doesn't poll like the old version anymore, and after some testing, I am getting my messages a little faster, because there is usually a 10-20 second delay when the app is sleeping, but this time it's like a 2-3 second after my friend sends me the text via whatsapp.
ahh right so there would be better battery life too??

Whatsapp is probably one of the most useful apps for someone coming from a blackberry and misses BBMs. The difference is the speed but the main upside is that it's crossplatformed. Also the app is good for people that travel and have an open wifi spot. Free messaging to friends back home is well worth it.

It's not using the same type of 2.2 push unfortunately.
hows it different?
EDIT: also seems like there are sometimes big delays between messages. whatsapp keeps disconnecting in the new version
I had to revert back to an older verison I believe. Newest version yesterday kept logging me off also and messages were stalled until I sent one out then they'd all come in.
Looked on the changelog and they took off the "Push Notifications"
Currently running: v1.0.6138
I'm using whatsapp on 2.1. working pretty well so far. ... thinking of getting 2.2 but no sense UI ROM for hero yet.
can we have a link to the apps apk?
Aww man, they removed push notifications via C2DM and the reason was they need to give google a quota? I have no idea what that means.
http://beta.whatsapp.com/test/7/WhatsApp.html
* google push disabled -- we need quota from google
really, what's the difference/advantage of using C2DM. i dont understand what's going on in the background.
Yepp.... just downloaded the APK from the link provided above... You can download and install it, but when it asks for your display name, you will get a message that says "Unauthorized beta user, DO NOT E-MAIL US", or something like that.
That's too bad because I loved it on my BB to chat with my iPhone friends, you would think that it would be easier and faster to create an app for Android and it would already be out in the market !!
it works!! everyone gets that message just wait till tommorrow and try again and it will work. Heaps of people have had success using this method. dont give up so easily
updated yesterday and they've been approved for the push notification via GOOGLE's c2dm.
Only thing i've noticed is that the app unlike iPhone's version doesn't time out while it's in the background. So it seems like you're always logged in. This could be corrected by a task manager app to kill the app but once you receive a new message it auto logs you on and double check marks the message as read.
Ok, I love all of the new roms we've had our great developers dropping on us. But on most of the 3.5 roms sprints visual voicemail doesn't work, due to sprint not having an offical 3.5 rom we have to use other carriers ports.
Anyways I figured out a way to get vvm to work on any 3.5 rom, here you go;
1. Have a titanium backup of a working vvm (with a couple voicemails on it)
2. Restore it to whatever 3.5 sense rom you want.
3. Reboot into recovery wipe cache,dalvik then flash attached .zip file.
4. Once phone is rebooted, install the attached .apk.
Let me know if anyone has issues!, I've tested this on a few different 3.5 roms, works fine on all of them.
Note- I have had a couple of times after flashing different fixes that it breaks vvm, if you get force closes, just reinstall the .apk and it will work again.
*****DO NOT UPGRADE TO NEWER VVM, YOU WILL HAVE TO REDO EVERYTHING OVER AGAIN IF YOU DO!!*****
I don't quite understand the issue here. I'm running PrimeXL 3.5 ROM and my VVM works just fine. Unless you are referring to the text feature that comes along with it?
Is there something else to it?

Yeah, it's weird. I think some of the 3.5 roms are based on different baseboards, like I was having issues getting newtoroots/mik's 3.5 roms to playback directv's sunday ticket app, which I paid for so on sundays I'd flash back to mikg so I could use it.
But it seems like some 3.5 rom's have working vvm, and some dont. It will try to provision the app, but it ends up producing a "general failure".
This fixes that on the other 3.5 roms that it won't work on.
I dont use VVM but i know one of my friends that does. I'll pass the info along. Good work!!!
Sounds great man will take this into consideration man thanks.
It was my understanding that all you had to do was flash to a 3.0 ROM, let VVM provision, do a TB of VVM and data, flash the 3.5 ROM, and restore VVM using TB. So what are the 2 attachments for?
I'm not sure this really "fixes" anything, as once it flashes, VVM does a FC and I have to re-install. A simple backup-restore with TB works just fine, IMO.

David- That used to work on many of the 3.5 roms, but as things have changed and gotten upgraded in certain 3.5 roms, it somehow broke that way of restoring vvm services, but if it works for you or anyone else then absolutely stick with doing that, it just didn't work for me.

Easy way to change that;
When you get one of those messages open it up and press menu, then click "block messages", then it will ask you for a password. Just enter any password that you want (make sure you remember it)
Then it should start blocking all of the 9016 messages.

No, it does not work with the new vvm app. It will give you the "generic failure" message if you upgrade and it won't provision your vvm.

I tried this fix on Radiance RC-2. Radiance came with VVM but wans't sure if it was working and what not. I restored from TB my VVM (the one updated by sprint) and then got a voice mail today, didn't work. So I ran the fix (had it sitting on SDCard) and it reverted it back to old voice mail, then asked me to update, so I went ahead and updated and sent myself a voice mail. No go.
As I can see in this thread that there is an issue with the new VVM and it not working on 3.5 anyhow. So how would I go about fixing this? Should I restore my VVM from TB (even though it's the New one) and then run the fix again and let it revert it back to the old VVM?
Thanks for the help and also the fix.

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if you all could help me out. I have installed the 7/22 build of jellybean and I send quite a bit of text messages. The problem is, I send a lot at one time and in JB, it stops me after I've send about 4 messages within a minute or two to the same person, asking me to allow this to happen. If I don't say allow, the text message will not send. By text message, I do mean sms to be specific. I searched through settings and found nothing to stop this message from popping up. I love the stock messaging app and I don't want to have to give it up unless there is no way around this. Does this happen to you and if so does anyone know a way around it? Thanks

I'm currently trying to recreate the issue. It's happened several times with normal text messaging to my girlfriend. It basically tells me that I've sent a lot of sms messages in a short period of time. A prompt comes up telling me that after I hit send. In order for the message to send I have to say "allow" in the prompt. The other option is, of course, "deny". This is an android OS prompt, not a superuser prompt. I can't seem to recreate it at the moment with google voice as my contact, but I'm sure it will happen again tomorrow when I'm texting my girlfriend and I will screen capture it, unless anyone knows what this is and how to disable it of course.

Oh, weird, I've never gotten that or even heard that function existed. I bet someone could pretty easily hack the messaging app to remove that limitation. It seems like a valid security feature though to prevent any app from mass texting. Maybe you should just write longer messages, haha.

Yeah, I am having the same problem on my HTC Inspire 4G running unofficial CM10 called JellyTime by randomblame ported to my phone. The easiest way to avoid this would be to get a second texting app and bounce back and fourth between the 2 apps. I was running Go SMS Pro and got the same prompt. So that's the best way I can think of to avoid the prompt for the time being.
Ever get one of those "You just won a $1,000 shopping spree at Best Buy" messages?
That's what this is supposed to prevent from happening to you, so your phone doesn't text random people who aren't even in your contact list.
I would say... put up with it. Eventually the mass SMS spammers will get the hint and they'll stop, at which point someone at Google will lift the limit, unless an app dev fixes the apk itself, at which point you'll have to manually monitor outgoing messages.
Edit: I wonder if someone has tried taking the messaging apk from gapps 4/29 and put it in the gapps 7/26 package? Would be a sensible attempt at avoiding the security block, but not sure if it would negate the security feature itself...

ive searched for others with similar problem but can only find mms signatures regarding gmail and email. my question deals more with messaging?
when i chat with a gmail friend via text messaging (my number), it gets converted to mms. in my previous rom (virtuous inquisition), the only other thing that was sent with my text was the message "this was sent to you from a t-mobile wireless phone". i made the switch to scverhagen's cm9.1 r8, and now when sending these mms, attached at the end is the tmobile logo/signature which consists of several gifs (tmobile stick together logo, etc) and the message "this was sent to you from a t-mobile wireless phone". ive also tried remICS and its the same. since its a chat in a sense and the attached logo/signature takes a while to load on other end, its not very convenient. is there anyway to rid of this signature and revert back to only the original message("this was sent to you from a t-mobile wireless phone")?
if it helps, i noticed when sending mms with inquisition attached was smil.xml. now when sending with the newer ics roms, attached is text_0.txt.
thanks for the help.
I don't text so this is just a shot in the dark but isn't there a place in settings for your signature? If there is, that is most likely just the default. If you were to enter a custom signature it very well may override ALL of it & just end it with your customized one. Like I said....just a shot in the dark.
i don't think theres setting for signatures for messaging. if there are system settings for it, then i havent heard of them or cant find them.
i tried talking to a tmobile rep about it and he said it might be their mms interface and that they cant help me with that. so i tried switching back to a nandroid of inquisition. when messaging from inquisition, the logo/signature isnt attached alongside.

In the standard Messaging app for the stock HTC ROM (or any ROM based on that), under the General settings is where you can enable/disable and change the signature text. I know that Handcent SMS has a setting for converting long SMS to MMS automatically, but the standard messaging app doesn't have this setting. I don't know if it does that anyway or not.

Inquisition is a Sense-based ROM, so the apps on it would NOT work on any CM-based ROM as those apps need the Sense framework to function.

ahh, i seee. i must have been thrown off because it looks like its not sense. checking back on the thread, i see that it's senseless with most aspects of sense removed.
anyone have any thoughts of what i can do to resolve this? the lady/recipient hates this signature in the newer roms.

Since I've never seen a signature attached to any of my SMS or MMS messages, I reloaded my CM9.1r8 ROM and tried. No signature attached. I used both the built-in messaging and Handcent SMS (my usual message app).
Are you sure you're using messaging and not some other app? Maybe Google Talk? or Google Voice?

no, im using the standard messaging app (green text bubble with happy face). sorry if my explanation of problem is unclear. on my end, i only see the message. on the receipient end, they get the attached. in this case, my message was "screenshot and email me."
before they would only get the message followed by "this message was sent from a tmobile wireless phone". now it comes as seen in the attached.
thanks for the help so far. much appreciated.
EDIT: Download 8sms from Google Play or download from the website.
EDIT: 8sms now based on Android 4.4 KitKat / Cyanogenmod 10.2. See post #394.
EDIT: App renamed from 88sms to 8sms. See post #246.
Hi,
This is my first android app and my first app announcement on XDA so apologies in advance if I've broken any rules.
I've ported the stock messaging app and then added some enhancements and changes so it can (hopefully) work on any Jelly Bean phone. This app is downstream from the latest Android 4.3 and CyanogenMod 10.2 (not-yet-released as of writing).
(ICS compatibility is a possible future feature.)
Please have a look if interested and feel free to try it out.
The Play Store link is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms
Excerpts from the app description follows ...
Notable features
Notification pop-ups
Quick reply
Gesture based templates
Emoji support
Optional dark theme
Install this app if you want to use features from the latest Android messaging app without having to wait for a full phone software update.
Usage
Whilst 88sms is a replacement for the messaging app that came with your phone, it is actually an add-on application only.
Please do not disable or remove the messaging app that came with your phone as that is still required to receive sms and mms messages.
88sms works best if you turn off notifications for the messaging app that came with your phone. Then you won't get two sets of notifications.
Phone compatibility
This app may not work (yet) on the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. If you install this app on one of these devices, please let us know if it works.
If you install this app on your phone and it does not work, please let us know. Please be sure to specify your phone model and software version number, and the version of 88sms you have installed.
Permissions
This app requires a wide range of permissions because it is a port of a system app. System apps use a lot of permissions. Full network access is required in order to send (or download) mms using your phone's cellular data (mms) connection.
Thank you.
Works great. Left my rating on the play store.

Sure, really appreciate it. after install, i open it, but one dialog box appear (it said: sorry...._ i can't remember) then escape the program. i tried several time, same thing. so i uninstall your software.
Works great on note 1
mms isn't working it just keeps trying to send and never sends. The stock messaging app works fine. I am using a Note 2 on att with a rooted stock rom
Yea group messaging doesn't work since the MMS problem. It just stays sending and won't go through.

On Sprint GS4.... MMS doesn't send on this app :/ but when I go to my stock messaging app it sends and I receive it from both apps, just a little workaround to an otherwise amazing app. Love the look and feel like AOSP! Some custom theming options would be great!
Great app, I already love it...
A nice feature that I would like to see is the ability to set the number of line for tying SMS... Because 3 lines is not enough for long SMS typer like me ^^

I will follow up and try to fix the bugs. Unfortunately, I've gone travelling ...
Hi,
Thanks to everyone of you for trying it out and thanks for the encouragement and feedback!
I acknowledge there may be a few problems on some devices ... it is my first app, after all, and it's not like I have a lot of different phones to test it on
I will follow up and try to fix the bugs. Unfortunately, I've gone travelling for a week so I might not be able to do much until a week later.
But I will follow up.
Thank you all!

Damn!! Well once you get back this app really has a lot of potential... just letting you know! don't give up man, this is gonna be awesome, I have a feeling!
Works great on my I9100 using LSS/AOKP Chameleon ROM.
Only thing I would change is the icon.
Does not work on HTC first running sense 4+ rom. Will revert back to stock rom tonight n give it a go.

Working great on SGH-I337 Stock 4.2
FC on startup on i777 running JB 4.1.2
I can get to the conversation if I click on the incoming text notification; however trying to switch to the conversations list causes immediate FC.
Great job, this is the perfect SMS I've been looking for for years.
