Downloaded the APK and installed, MMS is much faster....SMS takes ~2-3 minutes to send no matter the length. Are there settings that I need to change? I DESPERATELY want to use hangouts, but this is killin me!

I don't have trouble with hangouts of any kind.

I posted something like this before but it didn't get much attention. I have a huge library of .gif looping pictures on my phone, and love to send them to people as reactions. Sending and receiving these .gif messages worked flawlessly in Touch Wiz, but in the aosp messaging app they are just sent as pictures. Is there any way to make this work?

Hancent didn't work for you? You can't do it through the stock messaging app if that's what you're asking. No, not possible.
When I tried handcent before, it did not work for me. I just tried it now, however, and it sends .gif messages successfully! I appreciate the help everybody!
I don't really like the handcent app so I'll only use it for gifs, but at least I can send them now.
Also I go to reddit.com/gifs or reddit.com/reactiongifs for all of my content

Well, besides Handcent, there's GoSms, and other 3rd party messaging apps that may be able to send Gifs, maybe one of them suits you better.

Ya I've tried several, but I just can't get away from that beautifully integrated aosp messaging app. I'll try to find one that works for me though.
Thanks!

I currently just use google hangout as my sms service, but I find it very annoying that every time I go to send a text I have to choose my contact and then scroll down to their phone number otherwise it will try to contact them via hangouts. A lot of times the contact doesn't have hangouts and I accidentally choose that method and realize and hour or so later when they haven't replied.
Is there anyway to have it default to contacting via SMS, otherwise I may have to install handcent or something.

There isn't a way to change the default method. I usually just press the + icon and find the persons name.
Try using This If you like Hangouts UI but that annoys you.
I will give that app a try. I installed handcent very cool, but seems really sluggish.

Yeah, evolve, handcent, all of them feel sluggish IMO. That other app is the closest app I can find to stock, although I prefer hangouts myself as of now

Pretty much title. I am using Textsecure but my wife's phone has issues accepting picture messages through textsecure while it's encrypted so I was going to send pictures via messaging but even adjusting the app ops settings messaging is still saying it's not allowed because it's not the default sms app. Anyway around this?

Thanks, but what I was looking for is a way to send messages with Messaging when it's NOT the Default SMS app. I want all of my texts going in to Textsecure and be able to send pictures with Messaging. But when Messaging isn't the Default SMS app, it doesn't allow you to send messages. Even if I give it permission in App Ops. :\

Nope. You can only use 1 at a time.
Hey everyone. I finally escaped Verizon because the OnePlus was the reason for me to change carriers. I switched over to atnt and well yeah, it's atnt. Anyways, whenever I sent a ams, they have a 160 character limit. After that, it will split up my messages into however many parts and send them. With verizon, if the message was over 160 characters, it would automatically send it as an MMS which does not have a limit.
I use hangouts for my sms, but also tried handcent and the regular messenger and no option was available. I'll receive all messages no matter the length as a MMS, but when I send them to non atnt users, it will split them up. Any mods or anything that can fix this? I've done a little research and have seen some other phones get that feature. Not sure if this is something already being worked on or something.
Currently running CM 11 33R
Thanks in advance.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm able to send pictures or a location or well anything without a problem and it sends the MMS correctly, just won't convert multiple SMS's to a MMS. One person suggested adding a subject title to any sms and that will automatically convert it to a MMS, except that option isn't available in messaging or hangouts.
Try few different sms apps from play store and play with settings. I have nexus 5 and I can change settings in the app, I downloaded from Nexus 5 apps forum, its an old cm 4.2 app I believe

Any specific apps in mind? Or any other ways around it you can think of? I prefer to use hangouts but I'm aware that I probably can't use it to fix my problem.
Textra or qksms should have it

Thank you for the suggestions. Tried Textra and it didn't work. It only gives an option to split long SMS messages. Tried the MMS messaging options as well and that didn't work either. Cannot find qksms in the play store though.

So tried QKSms and it still doesn't work. It literally has the options that I was looking for, either split a sms into multiple parts or convert a sms into a mms after x amount of parts and you can choose x. I tried doing 2-4 and neither worked. Took some screen shots I'm happy to share if interested. I've tried with different people on every other carrier as well. Any other ideas? Could it be my service in general?
Hi guys
So I've had an odd problem for quite a long time now and I can't seem to find a fix.
So the first problem is that I can't send mms with the default message app but with the app Textra I can.. But it only works if I take the picture using the Textra app (if you press the camera in the Textra app the text area turns into the camera view so the picture is not as big as a picture taken by a normal camera app), if I try sending myself an mms it always works for some reason.
It's really bugging me I can't send pictures taken with the camera app, any help will be appreciated!
And BTW my provider is a Danish one named Bibob which uses Telenor's APN.
Thanks

Seems that because I made this thread the problem have fixed itself..... I am so confused!
anyone?

BTW I am able to recieve mms perfectly fine, could this have to do with how many kb the image im trying to send is?
