Alternate SMS application - Android Apps and Games

I'm looking for an alternate SMS app that is almost the same as the stock app but allows me to attach an APK file.
A lot of apps I get my fiance wants and it would make it easier to be able to grab the file from a file manager inline rather than having to open ROM toolbox and send it from there.

You can share any app you want from play store directly from the share button in play store and text it to her

Umm you can't attach files to text messages I'm prey sure, so no app will be able to do this (if im right). UNLESS the app also has its own messaging service on the side that can attach files, but then that would defeat the purpose because whoever you trying to text will have to have a smart phone, (they might even have to have android if the developer doesn't support other mobile smart systems like iOS or Windows Phone), because having a smartphone is the only way to get this made up app that doesn't even exist.

But since you said she wants the same apps, I'm assuming your both using android. So in that case I recommend an app called App Info XT because it has Holo Design, and can send apk directly from the app without the need of another file manager. But you will have to email it to her, since she has android she probably has gmail account. App Info XT can attach the apk to an email client directly, also, so thus is probably your best bet.

Isn't that an Android app, but not a WP7 app?
I know that there can't be an app for a normal (unlocked) phone that mass-deletes messages because WP7 won't allow apps access to the message store.
That is correct. A homebrew app *could* be created, though - the APIs needed are already being used by the SMS Backup app.

Non third party email app?

So I'm using a rom that does not have an email application on it and I would like to not have to use a third party application from the app store because I like the normal email that just comes stock on the inspire. I find it easy to set up my exchange accounts on it alot easier than say aqua mail. Anyway I was curious if it comes in a .apk file so I could just install it on my phone or if anyone has a link to it somewhere. Thank you and I appreciate all of your guys help!
Just copy apk from other ROM

Customising email and calendar

I know there are other programs I could use but is there a way to change the color for the stock email and calendar programs? I know I can change the color of the emails but haven't found out how to do the whole program. Any ideas?
I think you would have to modify the Email (or calendar) app itself, i.e. the .apk (and the .odex file, if you're on Stock)
I don't know how to do it, but I do know that some Android Programming knowledge is required.
Google it.

So... too hard to do then. Back to Touchdown I go, I guess! That's OK. Its a great program. Just thought I'd streamline a bit. Thanks folks!

ZIP fiel support for email app

I am not able to open zip files in my nexus 5's email app. When i try to open it gives an error saying"Unfortunately, you can't save or open this type of attachment.. Anybody has a solution for this. i have sent feedback to google through that app several times. But no response. I am surprised to know that a smartphone by a stalwart software company like google is facing problem like this. this is not an end to it. Problems like contacts sharing through SMS,native 3G video calling,contact copy to clipboard are also persisting. Isn't google bothered about all these small basic facilities to the users !!! If not then what & how different is it from any other device. in Moto phones some of these features are also lacking, but moto phones are able to open zip files. "
This is the default email client?

Yes it is the default email client. For using company email ID via outlook i can only configure the inbuilt email app. but this problem is not evident in Gmail app. In gmail app it opens the zip attachment and then gets redirected to the respective app installed on the phone for handling zip files

Yes I can reproduce the issue. I don't think there is a workaround.

Any way to open an app from a URL?

I want to add a reminder to Inbox, which makes URL links clickable, to open an app on certain dates (in this case Nook.)
Is there any way I can make a URL that when clicked on my phone, will open that app on the phone?
The closest I've got is going to its Play Store entry.
Thanks!

I don't it will work that way because the app is on your device, your device nor your app are Web pages so how could a URL do this? Unless you can figure something similar to how an email with an XDA link can be opened in the XDA labs or Tapatalk app.
You can probably set something up between Gmail and Tasker to open the app.

Well I figured that Chrome had a way to parse certain links locally without a connection. Maybe something like app:// or local:// etc.

URLs don't work without being connected to a network that I know of. I could be wrong but when you click a link it has to run its course thru the network to find the URL, if that URL is on your device it still needs to go out over the network and make its way back to your device to open whatever you set the URL to open on your device.
