Hello,
Does anyone know how I might be able to make my sms messaging app open using another app like gosms ?? Or maybe just replace the stock apk with another?

Just use SMS app of your choice.
If you use Go SMS just turn off notification for the stock SMS app..
Since we now have the option to pick in 4.4, what's your favorite messaging app? I've been using Ninja SMS. I prefer a Holo interface, and the chat heads mean I never have to look at the interface itself anyways.

Hangouts is my favorite.
I actually really, really like the hangouts app.
A lot.
Hangouts or textra for simplicity. Smart messenger for more features and speed. Has message back ups and works with your Google drive to send files.

AOSP MMS. Identical to the standard 4.3 MMS app.

Hangout isn't bad, but I really miss the remove/change not compatible unicode options.
For this reason my favorite is the 8sms https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms. Looks like the stock 4.3 sms app, but have more options.

I tried 8sms, but sometimes wouldn't receive pictures in MMS. It would appear as a triangle. Looks like a play button. Same with the stock messaging .apk. Any ideas?

Another vote for Textra. Has some nice features, but not overly complicated or bloated. Handles MMS picture messages and iPhone-style group messages great.

This isn't making any sense to me, you have always been able to pick whatever messaging app you want.
Textra hands down.

Ahh sorry for my lack of input guys, I forgot to subscribe to the thread when I posted it. I'm loving the input though. I might have to try Textra, seeing as it's getting such positive reviews.
@krabman Sure, you could always use any SMS app, but it was never flawless. In KitKat there technically isn't a default SMS app. You pick whatever you want.

Yeah but now with 4.4 you can set any messaging app as the default.

In sorry but you have always been able to pick whatever you want and it would work without issue. All you had to do is turn off notifications in the stock messaging app which wasn't any harder than what you need to do now. What you didn't have to do was set your shiny new messing app as default because the operating system did it for you. If you installed multiple messaging apps like handcent and chomp it would then give the option to set one as default and you could go into the main settings/applications and remove that default just like any other application installs such as launchers or galleries where more than one app could be called to perform an action.

See above. Assuming all the various messaging apps get tuned up to work on 4.4 you will have exactly the same options you had on 4.3, no more no less. There is no now you can pick.

Could this work on the Triband version? If so how to i install it without get a force close when i reboot. Because ive tried the s5 messaging app thats in the s4 forum i believe its Verizon and it forceclosed so i had to odin back to stock and set everything up again. Id really like to be able to use it especially for emoji because when i go to send an emoji on my regular tw messaging app it goes to convert it to mms and ive downloaded apps from the play store and none of them do that the only reason im not using them is because it wont let me send mms via wifi calling like it does with my tw. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Dear All,
Please suggest me some messages app for my MOTO G, as the default app has very basic features. Is there any Xperia SMS app original available? or Samsung Galaxy like SMS app. If any good 3rd party SMS app is available please suggest. Willing to pay if there is any purchased ones on Play Store.
Thank you
Regards,
I'm currently using Handcent sms. Its great looking, fully customizable, and has free downloadable themes including Samsung, miui, and a bumch more. Best of all the app is free.

Sliding SMS. Very nice application
Evolve SMS is amazing. It's also free (with in-app purchases) and works really well even with the free version

Yes, once you have installed a 3rd party SMS app go into settings of hangout app and you can choose which app to use as default.

8sms
Another vote for 8sms. It does everything I need without the bloat. Beats the stock messaging app by miles.
I used 8sms for quite a while and really enjoyed it.
I'm currently using HoverChat- just downloaded the app and I'm really digging it so far. If you have used Facebook messenger and like the chatheads concept, you'll like HoverChat.

Guys, take a look at QKSms, customizable with Material design !
Here you are the new version of Gmail....
Gmail is built on the idea that email can be more intuitive, efficient, and useful. And maybe even fun. Get your email instantly via push notifications, read and respond to your conversations online & offline, and search and find any email.
Gmail also lets you:
• Manage multiple accounts
• View and save attachments
• Set up label notifications
Only download and install

Thanks for your share. But download not work with stock Browser.

This is still new my friend it's not even publish yet in playstore so it hasn't been themed yet From MOD Themers!
I know it's new. My mistake in wording. What I meant to ask was-did Google include in the app to have a dark theme. I don't know why app developers dont just include that.
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Free mobile app
Google does not let you change anything about the Gmail UI, including the stupid gray font for read messages that makes it difficult to read the subject lines. I used the App Settings to increase the font size for Gmail only, because the default font size is intolerable.
Great! Working ok!
Thanx
