I chose one of the themed ones from the below link. Works great and looks great IMO

I also recommend Chomp SMS from the Play Store, lots of customization with that app. :good:

I use Textsecure.

Hangouts as it works great for sms and picture mms to both cell and Hangouts/gtalk. Once Google Voice is fully Integrated I'll be very very pleased.

Hello sms is pretty good. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hellotext.hello

Hangouts, nice and simple.

Inverted AOSP messaging

sliding messaging - handles my GV number

Textra
Does anyone have an app that has .gif support via text?

+1 for 8sms simple, basic, works.

+1 more for 8sms. It's a port of the AOSP SMS app, but with a lot of extra features. Plus it comes with a dark skin, so the people using the inverted AOSP app should also give it a try. As a bonus, the dev is also extremely responsive to feature requests.

Quick reply via the notification bar is probably the single best feature, in fact I'd say it's the single feature that sold me on it the most. Plus since it's heavily based on the AOSP SMS app, it feels a lot more Android-y than others like Ninja or Textra (which is far too iOS-y for me) do.

NinjaSMS I like the HALO style pop-ups

[App] SMS Popup

This is an app I found. Its in the playstore, search it up or follow link below. It by no mean requires root, or is specifically for the blaze, but I think its a great add on for anyone who had not seen it before, just a suggestion

A great option for someone who doesn't gave gosms pro because of gosms ex cause its wayy to heavy (me, lol.). Haha, that's right iPhone,! We don't need to jailbreak(root) for this on our phones.! A thanks for you, kind sir.

Or, you can use handcent messenger, which looks so much better than the tw SMS app.

Messaging App With Quick Reply Like Stock?

Are there any text messaging apps with a quick reply feature like in stock that I don't need root to install? I have an HTC One and came from a Galaxy Nexus and miss that feature so much. I've tried some other apps, but nothing seems to have the ability to swipe down on a notification in the notification bar and reply like that without having to go into the app. The closest I've seen is the constant notification quick message thing in Handcent.

[Q] Any roms with pie yet?

I was wondering if any roms have ported pie over to kit kat yet. Plenty of roms have ported over halo so I was wondering why pie hasn't been ported over yet.
Immersive mode could be why it's not been ported yet

Unfortunately I can't stand CM/gravity box pie. It looks cheap in my opinion. I prefer the visual wonderfulness of PA pie
EDIT: xda derped and posted twice
It looks the same, having used both. Plus you can change how it looks. But yeah, pa coming soon so whatever

Ah right, but if i remember correct PA offers less customisation for PIE controls? I've set my LMT to have "screen-off" and "previous app" buttons on longpress, and adjusted the long-press time to make it faster - i find that really useful, could you do the same with PA? Its been a long while since i've tried that rom, it might've changed since then?

The appearance, they are worlds different
Well, PA haven't brought PIE to KitKat yet, so you wont find any PA based PIE controls here until that happens. Keep watching the Dev forums / G+

Messaging apps and HALO

I was wondering if anyone found a good messaging app that worked with Halo. So far hangouts is the only one that works reliably for me. AOSP messaging works until I click a contact thread and it switches into the full app. Textra and 8sms open the full app when I try to open them through halo. Oddly enough other messaging programs like kik work fine. Is this just the state of halo on kitkat roms, or something that app developers need to change? Thanks for any help.

Halo is a recent port to KitKat since pa hasn't implemented their official halo yet. Operability should get better as development continues.

Might check out this little app:

Yea, pretty cool idea. I didn't end up using it very much because I prefer the banner notifications that are an option with the app: LockerPro Lockscreen as they are less intrusive for every day use.

Official Calculator ?

It doesn't have "%" to calculate things... why is that :/ also recommend some calculator app which is as good as the official and has % too.
Thanks!

Swipe to the right screen, % is above left parenthesis. Stock calculator is tops for me, I even graph with it in pre-cal.

There are 2 of them in playstore. Which one exactly?
Edit: Nevermind, both of their interface sucks. I prefer the stock calculator's interface. So clean. Is there an app like the stock one just with % ?

might wanna try pulling cyanogen mods calculator app from a rom. last i checked it did % and had a graphing feature built in. Not too sure if its as simple as installing the apk though. But ya might as well give it a shot. Looks mostly like the default calc app to

You may not necessarily like how it looks but that does not mean the interface sucks
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.nickfines.RealCalc&hl=en_GB
The interface is designed to be like a real calculator. To perform proper calculations
just curious as why you need a % sign? why can't you use decimals? 25% = 0.25 etc...
