according to google Hangouts is going to support SMS & MMS

I got the new apk. Using it for about 1 hr now and all is great!

Now make a black background option. All that white is blinding.

Edit: receiving works too. Just sent myself a pic. And I got it.

Same here. MMS works flawlessly.

Should I clear cache & data from Hangouts and uninstall via Play Store then install this? Thanks

Everything works for me except when I try to initiate a video call and then things go bad where it seems to hang on connecting and I can only close the app by rebooting.

[APP][ICS] AOSP MMS Confirmed Working!!!!!!!

Been emailing the dev back and fourth for a week or so and he JUST put it on the market not 20 minutes ago.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.mms.com.android.mms
ENJOY!!!
(You have to delete your old mms, or rename it to mms.apk.bak, or you will recieve texts twice!)
Everything else seems to work perfectly.
UPDATE 4/8: MMS fixed. FC on self picture click check market for the update. Dev is touring europe for a few weeks so there probably wont be any other updates for a bit :[
If you guys really appreciate this I reccomend donating to the dev, his paypal email is in the description in the store. For all the people who had the FC issue when deleting thread or the new MMS app where the silly attachment and send button were switched and it drove you crazy.

Awesome!
Or what you can do is in the Applications menu, disable the old MMS. It's like freezing it. Just built into the OS. I think I'm starting to like ICS more and more...

I tried it, and then when I opened a thread with MMS I received FCs.

Quick note, pressing on your own contact avatar/icon results in a FC of Contacts.

Might need to edit the apk's XML's to match the stock messaging app to fix that. Don't have my computer right now, so I can't do it myself, but when I was messing around on an Epic, that's what we have to do to prevent that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Saw this in your other thread, thanks for the info. It'd be better with working mms.
still same thing..
i NEED mms, but other than that works great here
So far everything has worked great for me.. haven't had a single FC. I also have it as a system app.
Thanks for posting this!

If so the solution may be to make a system app. will try now.
Edit, nope no change for me.
Great find man already popped it into the system/app and it runs great no fc but is there a way to make the new message icon come up on the lockscreen like the old mms did?

This is from the app's description in the play store:
* Removed some stuff about "date sent", which was causing crashes. Samsung's lame SMS app doesn't have this field in the database. I could potentially add it though. But it is not a critical feature so I just disabled it.
* There's stuff about DRM (Digital Rights Management) in the code. I presume this is for copy protected MMSs? Does anyone even use MMSs? Anyway I haven't tested anything to do with MMSs or DRM and there's a good chance the app will crash if it has to deal with any of that stuff.

Group SMS messages

My wife has a Razr Max and the group messaging works perfect. Has anyone been successful in using the moto sms app on sg3? Or can it be done?

No idea about the moto sms app but i personally tested group mms with the latest liquid rom and it works perfectly. I have not had any issues with it.

Handcent and Go SMS work for group. Or you can unlock and root then install an AOSP 4.2 ROM, 4.2 has Group messaging by default.
Been thinking about doing that. Liquid looks nice.

I love AOSP over TW by absolute leagues. They aren't even comparable IMO.
You can also just use Verizon messages. It handles group messaging without a hitch!

I can send group messages but they all come back in there own thread. I would like them to stay together like my wife's Moto phone. Handcent SMS seems to do it.

You might try Go too. It always seemed to be the better performing of the two for me. Glad you found a solution!
You can flash AOSP MMS on TW roms, 90% fully functional (some users have issues with iphone messages coming in blank) but personally it has been working perfectly for me.
Check out the themes and apps section, there should be a couple different apks and some modified frameworks

Hangouts app

Is anyone else having trouble with this app? It was working well for a little bit but now it someone sends me a message I won't receive it till like the next day. I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem.

No problems on my end. It's my primary way of messaging people.

Hmm. Like it'll show me when the other person has seen the message, so I'll be expecting a reply back and it will show them typing and I'll get the message, but other times I won't receive the message for a while, or I have to sign out and then sign back in and it'll be there

I'm using hangouts as my primary and the same thing happens to me. I believe that it may have something to do with my extreme fluctuations in signal type/strength. I go from 4G to edge on a consistent basis b/c I work on a cell restricted location.
I use Hangouts as my primary communication method with my work and I've not had any issues with delayed or undelivered messages on this phone yet. I am on wifi for a majority of the day, but I get my messages when I'm away from wifi as well. I am in an area with pretty strong 4G signal, so perhaps arich2day is correct about there being an issue with jumping from no signal to good signal.
Well, most of the time I'm on Wifi and it still doesn't work right

MMS on official LP

so looks like VZW has left out or over looked (not like they didnt take their time on this update) to include the required MmsService.apk
Without this some, if not a lot of third party SMS apps will not send MMS, Google's hangout and Google's messenger app for example.
By installing this, flash it, extract it, or just install the APK. (if you dont have root this is the only way) This WILL fix the issue

Believe me...I do too, however with the stock sms app if a group message come in, clicking the notification take you to the individual sms thread for the person that sent the text, not the group chat, which in of itself was enough to drive me crazy.

From my understanding LP on vzw took away the ability to edit the apns which I would imagine you had to change to get all the tmo stuff working.

Oddly enough I had to set up nothing on 4.4.4, it just worked once I have it on HSPA mode instead of LTE/CDMA
I'm stock and rooted while my wife's is stock. We both upgraded to Lollipop and was/is using Textra before the upgrade and continue to use it without an issue. I've sent and received MMS without hiccups.
Are we odd ones out or is there some bug that I'm not experiencing and could possibly find a fix on my phone to share with everyone?

Stock sms is awful.
Sent from my Blackberry Bold
Hate this problem....
Have been grappling with this problem... In the end I gave up and started using Textra - this created 2 new annoyances:
1 - It doesn't appear on the always on display as a little envelope icon/badge notification when you have texts waiting
2 - You can't quickly get to a contact within the App and use the direct dial feature by lifting the phone to your head.
However Textra is amazing and it's other features have kept it as my default choice for now.

If you use lightflow for LED control, the screen will still come on even with texta. Or any third party sms app for that matter.
