Does anyone know how to use the native android sms instead of the htc sense one?
I believe there are mms.apk's out there that you can download, but you can always use something like Handcent or Chomp SMS too
From what i read it seemed like the mms.apks just removed sense messaging but i didn't think it replaced it with the stock app. I have started using handcent which is ok but i would like to know how to go back to stock app as well. You know just to have options.
Root required.
i ve been using Handcent...works great ..LED can be customized per contact..has good interface
what about u guys?
Handcent all the way
Handcent sms! hands down!
add to the choir... handcent
Saw about it here and try it. Fantastic. Thanks people.
I use the full version of ChompSMS, I like the layout better than Handcent and the pop up reply feature is great!
I've both Handcent & ChompSMS Full, currently using Handcent but ChompSMS is great as well
I far prefer ChompSMS. Simpler and just plain works.
ChompSMS.....
I've used both Handcent and Chomp - I can say that they're both awesome but the only features that set them apart for mine was that in Handcent, when your msg tone is playing - when you enter the app, and select the unread msg, the tone stops, Chomp does not - this gets VERY annoying when you're a 21 year old that sends and receives A LOT of msgs each day!
However, the ChompSMS widget is much better than Handcent as the widget gives you a preview and is just set out a little better I feel, where as the Handcent widget is the icon with an unread counter.
For mine, I've chosen Handcent as the combination of features and the solid backing that I've yet to have had a force close error provides quite the service I require =]
If you have a SMS plan then handscent is great, but if you don't
Text plus is free as long you enable APN when you send.
Hamdsent and chompsms is NOT free. No one SMS me usually anyway, i just log on MSN droid most of the time.
I don't see too many poll threads on which sms client you use... I would love if you left a reason you chose the one you do.
I use GO SMS pro because of the simplicity of it and the way the pop up looks. I actually prefer CHOMP sms pop up UI, but it lags and just isn't close to running as smoothly as GO sms Pro.
Also, if you want to post a screen shot of the theme you're using if you're happy with your theme!
Handcent > Go sms. You can text without unlocking screen with handcent. You have to unlock the screen for go sms.
Idk how much I would use that, but I am interested in that. What theme do you use?
Handcent because of being able to reply from the lockscreen without unlocking the phone.
Wow a lot more people use handcent than I realized. What theme do you use?
Stock Sense app, on InsertCoin 2.2. Nice and simple
I use stock. Never liked other apps.

I use Handcent, probably because it offers so many more options over the stock Sense app but probably because of habit also. I don't like pop-ups because of privacy issues and the Handcent seems to work the best for me.
I use GoSMS Pro. I tried Handcent for a while but I found Go to be smoother. They're almost identical in terms of features. However, Go lets you backup your texts for free. Helpful when flashing different ROMs.
i use iphone theme on Handcent with modifications.
I used to use Handcent until it started acting stupid. It worked fine & then all of a sudden started resending texts on every reboot, not sending texts properly(showed a spinning icon next to every message), etc. Now I use GoSms & I love it. All the features of Handcent with none of the bugs. The only thing I miss is the Handcent ringtone picker.
Im using an aosp mms app xboarder ported, working fine for me.
I'm surprised on how many people use stock. It doesn't offer enough features for me. I agree that handcent use to be better, but GO SMS pro has surpassed it in my opinion on the mere fact that it isn't buggy and looks a lot cleaner.
Also, its interesting no one uses Chomp SMS. Especailly if you ever use the iphone theme, chomp sms looks just like it. I loved BITEsms on my jailbroken iphone I used to have.
Used to use Chomp, now go.
just prefer the look of the stock sms app, especially when themed.

Yeah i love GoSMS's built in SMS and settings backup, i used to use only handcent but stopped mainly for that reason.
I hate stock messaging app i try i use it but get sick of it and switch. I hate the lack of customization.
I do wish, however, that text messages would still pop up on the lockscreen when using any other messaging apps

I tried GOSMS first, and saw no reason to leave it. Looks good, has a lot of cool features.

I just use stock with sms pop up

Are there any SMS apps in the market that allow you to reply or mark as read from the notification instead of having to open the entire application?
Found the solution: 8sms.
I really want to try 8sms but the no auto-retrieve MMS thing kinda kills it. Plus that icon is terrible!
this is the sms apk from aosp 4.3, no idea if it'll work on 4.4 or if it'll install as a normal app or it'll need putting in the system apps

So the one thing that is annoying me on the G3 using stock SMS app is that if somebody sends me a long SMS that is split into multiple SMS's, sometimes the arrive out of order. On my old Galaxy S3 these messages came in as a single MMS, thus being one single message that was not out of order.
Anyone know of a way to change this? I do not want to switch messaging apps because I like all of the features of the stock messaging app.
Unfortunately, it would appear that sending long text-only messages as MMS is not supported by the stock messaging app.

I wonder if anyone has looked inside the stock messaging apk for settings like this. That was how the samsung messaging apk was modified.

Even the G3 Tweaksbox, an Xposed Module which can reveal the option to disable the screen wake for messages, doesn't have such an option.
