So the question is... now that Lollipop comes with a stock SMS/MMS solution (messanger), will Google be retooling/thinking how it integrated google voice SMS and MMS into Hangouts?
Ideally, I'd like to have my Voice SMS and MMS now sync with the Lollipop messanger app.
Anyone else have thoughts on this/know what the plan is?

I just hope they give it a quick reply function like the AOSP messenger app.
Pretty sure it only has the stock Messaging app as it's still the preview and none of the GApps are pre-installed. The Nexus 6 has GApps so I'd imagine the Nexus 5 version will too

Hi everyone,
I am running the cm11 nightlys. Hangouts works just fine and so does hello sms and others that I've grabbed from the play store. Thing is, that I really like the holo glass theme, and the only sms app that the theme works with is the cyanogenmod sms app. Since it didn't come with the rom I just got cyanogenmod apps from the play store and downloaded the sms app from there. For some reason I can't send messages from it though... I can view my incoming and outgoing messages (that I've sent or received with other sms apps), but can't actually send from within the cm messaging app. Any idea why or how to fix. Thanks!
Had anyone installed the new messenger yet? It works for me except when I try to attach a picture... messenger FC's. Anyone have success with it yet?
its on the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging
I have been using it as my daily text about for about a week now and it works flawless.
Works for me very well. You should check your settings or try to delete your cache or something. Did you set it as your default sms/mms app?
I deleted the version I got from the forums and installed the play store version and all problems went away.
Anyone having problems receiving long texts or pictures with Messenger?
I Like it but...
I used messenger for a little bit, but for my personal preference I prefer to have my messenger and hangout integrated into one. That's the reason I was stoked when hangouts came out with SMS integrated. Other than that it is an amazing app.
I can receive pictures and group texts with 5.0 messenger but I cannot receive regular text! I've been working on this for a while, any help is appreciated!
The Tree there any apps i can download or mods i can flash that will allow me to integrate google voice calls with the native dialer and Google voice sms with the native messaging app?
I'm using Google voice as my sole call/sms functions right now as I've ditched my carrier recently.
If it helps I'm running rooted cm 12.1 (android 5.1.1) on a formerly verizon lg g3. Also running xposed. Currently running calls / texts through hangouts.
So I've been searching the web for a clear explanation but am now more lost than before.
Goal: I would like to have my SMS/MMS synced and backed up across devices (much like iMessage i suppose) - preferably with Hangouts - so that I can reply to a text message from my computer or another device - I would also like to see my Google Voice voicemails in the hangouts app also.
Is this even possible?
I've seen google help docs with instructions on how to integrate Voice with Hangouts but I do not see those settings in my Hangouts app. Am I missing something?
And I recall reading about Hangouts being capable of syncing SMS and MMS messages across devices - not sure if it's a projectFi exclusive feature or what.
Any suggested apps to accomplish my goal if google apps are not the way to go? Please advise. I don't use google voice for free calls or text messaging - it's sole purpose is to keep my voice messages. Nor do I use Hangouts for free calls or free messaging. I'd like to use my carrier service and phone number.
I'm not rooted (anymore, thanks to android pay) so non-root solutions would be most helpful - though root solutions may pull me back to the dark side.
Anyone else having issues with getting notifications when receiving SMS messages though voice?
I do not get a notification but if I open the app they auto populate and load and finally the voice notification when then show new messages. I switched the app to use the default messaging app and I get the notifications. If I go into the web interface and forward messages to email I get them as well. But the voice app it's self does not notify me of new messages? I know it works because my galaxy would get the notifications and I know background sync is on and running.
Any suggestions? (No root this is a work phone.)
I'd highly recommend you install and use Hangouts for your primary SMS app. The gVoice app is basically just a utility tool to get your gVoice integrated into your dialer and not really meant to be a fantastic SMS app.

Hangouts is installed by default (at least on Verizon.) Appreciate the comment and thank you.
