8sms Alternative Messaging App - RAZR i Themes and Apps

For anyone using Omar's or JellyAOSP and wants a fairly AOSP sms app with working mms, try 8sms! It looks much better than stock sms, and has quick reply pop-ups.

Thank you.
I am using it now on stock ROM. It works really good but not correctly in stand-alone mode.

Yea, stand alone doesn't work for me either. Hopefully it's fixed soon.

This is a nice app! You can use mmsdependencies from omar or mercurio and get this as a standalone... kinda

This is exactly what I was after, thanks. It's a bit annoying having two messaging apps but the AOSP app is loads nicer than the moto one.

Just keep the mmsdependencies.apk and place 8sms. You still need to enable standalone mode, though, otherwise it wont save your mesages

instead of 8sms you can use textra (seems a little bit leaner than 8smms).

Double notifications

Every time I receive a text message I get two notifications in the bar. It is becoming very annoying and I can't seem to find the settings or app that's causing it. Any suggestions?

Are you using a custom rom? Are you rooted? Are you using a third party messaging application?

Was this occurring before on stock or on a previous rom? Did you do a full wipe when switching to CM7rc1? Did you restore apps?
If you answer No, No, Yes to those questions then here is what you need to do: Full wipe, reinstall the rom do not restore apps through titanium backup or any other third party backup app.
This wasn't occurring until the last few nightlies. I don't use titanium to back my apps up. They resync when I enter my email address. Ill give your suggestion a try

GoSMS tons of customization

Go SMS, love stock as well and if the group text function worked I'd probably use that instead.
In the end it's all preference, try them all out and see which one you like best.

I've tried them all and keep returning to go sms. Great themes too

I use Go SMS. I found that Go and Handcent functioned pretty much the same for me, only Go has a 'send later' option that didn't exist in the last version of Handcent that I tried.
I was using Go SMS but then i started using stock after getting the inverted gapps.
Stock TW for me.

Definitely Go SMS Pro. Well worth it in the long run, but plan on spending an initial hour or so getting it set up just right... and then you're golden.
what I miss, and I wish someone would come out with is the app from my droidx that had EVERYTHING in it. SMS, MMS, emails (exchange, and pop3), facebook messages, etc.. all in one app.
there isn't anything like that is there?

[Q] productivity screen. SMS not working anymore?

Hey,
As mentioned. In my productivity lock screen the message feature for my sms stopped working since the last time I changed the background picture. I changed it since then several times but it doesn't help...
Any ideas?
I'm on stock rom with sense 4+ and android 4.1
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers

I guess you either have to clear the cache of the sms app or the cache of any lockscreen-related app. Take a look in the app list and clear the cache of what seems the most related to the lockscreen.
Cache cleaning didn't work...
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
What do you get exactly in the lockscreen? No sms or nothing at all (email,. lost calls, etc)?
No just the SMS. Mail, weather etc everything works...

You probably did this but, have you checked the productivity lockscreen options? There you can choose what must be displayed, sms included.
Yeah that's the reason I'm writing. It just stopped working even though checked in the option list. Don't know what it could be
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
There is also an option in the sms app options. I just noticed this. It should be on by default, though.
Thank you!!! That was it

Req messaging app???

Is there a messaging app the would give a real time alert (stated "typing") when in text conversation to notify you that the other person is responding to your message. Any help or thought and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Yeah but that's an app where both parties need to have that installed where I am looking for more of an sms app. How does that app even work and forgive my silly questions
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Hmm, idk if the facebook messenger app does that, u can use it to text people and both parties don't need it
Sent from my SCH-1535 using Tapatalk 4
I use whatsapp and it does that. Possibly one of the best messaging apps there is. Both parties need it, and it is a dollar, but you can use wifi and it is rock solid stable. One of the best purchases I've made in the play store.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
yeah you are only going to get that functionality when both parties are using the same app. And it would have to be a messenger/chat type app not a strictly sms/mms type app

What SMS program do you use?

Currently I use go SMS but lately u have been putting so many ads into the app.
Just wondering what u guys use.

I don't use sms apps usually and i prefer whats app over a messaging app. Some times i will use default messaging app present in my Rom.

I use handcents.
I agree with the op, go sms has been really nice for me, with scheduling features and different led colors per contact. But popup ads are a dealbreaker. I've tried handcent, but it was very slow for me. I'm seriously considering going back to the stock app
