Stock Text Messaging App - Group Message Replies - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hopefully there are some that actually use the stock text messaging app. I actually like the layout of the app a lot, but have had issues with Group messages. For the life of me, I could not find a setting that would allow me to respond to the group with a single message. For whatever reason, the default is set to respond to each individual separately. Does anybody know how to change that, whenever you receive a group message, where I can reply to the entire group, rather than send an individual text to each?
As of right now, I'm using Google Messenger as my stock text messaging app because it allows me to reply to the entire group as 1 message and keep the group message together.

Same here, anyone know?

Open the Messaging app, advanced settings. All the way at the bottom there will be a Group MMS option.

Change font size globally ?

I've been asked if I know any phone/OS, that lets you change the font size "globally".
i.e. larger font in text application, email, contacts etc etc.
Plus large font in browser, or decent text reflow.
Trying to google some info, but not getting very far, and was hoping the members here might be able to help or point me in the right direction.
I'ts for someone whose sight is less than perfect, and they are not looking for a high end phone - but easy to read/write text, email, phonebook and browser are a must (and pretty much it really).
If anyone can help or make any suggestions it would really be appreciated
WM could do it system-wide. But not many 3rd party applications used the settings from system.

Does that mean that system apps like email and text message can use the bigger font ?
There is some news about it?

Any news about the sms and phone numbers in the contact list?

Are there any good unthreaded/inbox style SMS apps anywhere?

I used EasySMS (previously Pansi SMS) until Kitkat, when MMS didn't work on my S4 Active anymore. Since then I have used Go SMS Pro, which is less easy (takes a few steps to get to the inbox style folder window), but still works. And now, with version 6 those "%¤"!&%!¤&%# morons (read like a very mad Donald Duck!) have messed up that and mate it into an SMS app for idiots who only wants a fancy theme. No folder view anymore. Are there any other apps worth trying? I really, really, really hate "conversation mode", I don't have conversations in SMS! I get an SMS, answer and delete. Showing what I said before (since I have deleted the received ones) is just annoying, and I want all SMS collected in one view. With my mail warnings I get 40-50 SMS every day, so I just need a very neat and clean interface, and the ability to send SMS and MMS. No fancy theme or bull**** like that. Does anybody have a god tip on an app for that?
New messenger from Google is great,better than stock SMS app and hangouts.
Thanks! Is it possible to do that as a pure "received SMS list", old school? And is it possible to use it without any other Google stuff than a Gmail account (which is only used for Android purchases)? I am hysterically unsocial (no Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram, no nothing except for forums and mail), so if it requires Google +, use of Hangouts or any other stuff like that I'm out.
Nah man,you just install it and you're good to go,i think it doesn't even require gmail. I too don't have anything like that,im just browsing g+ and XDA. And i don't understand what you mean by "recieved SMS list" ,but in general,it's the most simple and clear SMS app i have ever tried. Just search google for it.
I may be dense, but I can't find it. I found Hangouts, but that's very far from what I'm looking for. It has one window, and there it shows all conversations, also my sent messages (because the received messages are deleted). What I'm looking for is one that has a traditional folder structure, with an inbox that only shows messages in, and nothing else. And preferably no threaded messages either, when I answer. So when I answer one, I only see the one I'm answering, not the message history of that contact. Do you understand what I mean?
Yes,ill paste the link

Thanks, but I'm afraid that isn't what I'm looking for. It seems like it shows sent messages as well in the main list, and I want something that only shows received messages in a list, nothing else.

Make Sent Mass Text Appear in Individual Conversation

Is it possible to make the original sent mass text message appear in each individual's conversation threads rather than one thread with a group of names? Right now I have to send each person a personal text message for this to be possible. My reasoning is because when I get a reply, I want to see my sent text and then their reply text in each person's conversation. Is there an app or something that can do this?
Is there a way to do this??
Another question: I am also wondering if there is a way to automatically detect incoming messages as a group text. Right now I have to manually go into my Go SMS app's settings and turn on Group Messaging. But by then it is too late. when the Group Messaging setting is off, and I recieve a group text , the sender and all the replies all go onto their own individual conversations, and I have to reply to each person individually.

[MOD][4.4+]DayKek[Kik]

Hello. I have been working on this kik for awhile from now. Our mod is based on Pikek with some extra features.
All the info about Day will be down below:
Scroll to very bottom for download link
Complete list of features:
APPEARANCE
Square Pictures - This makes the profile pictures square instead of round.
Marquee Names - If the name of a user or group is long enough, the name will scroll.
Hide Dividers - Chat Dividers will be hidden from the main conversations screen.
Custom Hint - Changes the text that appears in the text input on a chat screen.
Text Size - Changes the font size of the chat. Note: it doesn't adjust the bubble size very well.
Text Font - Changes the font of the chat.
Bubble Opacity - Changes how visible the chat bubble is.
Incoming Shape - Changes the shape of the chat bubble for messages you receive.
Outgoing Shape - Changes the shape of the chat bubble for messages you send.
Incoming Bubble Color - Changes the color of the chat bubble for messages you receive.
Outgoing Bubble Color - This is just a shortcut to the Outgoing Bubble Color settings already in Kik.
Incoming Text Color - Changes the color of the text for messages you receive.
Outgoing Text Color - Changes the color of the text for messages you send.
THEME
Theme Color - Changes the main color of the App.
Theme Hex - Enter a custom Hex Color to use as the app's main color.
Light Hex - Switches a custom theme's text color to black.
Enable Hex - Enables a custom theme based on what is entered in Theme Hex.
Note: Devices on Lollipop or higher may experience a bug on the conversations screen. If this occurs, turn off 'Enable Hex' then set the theme color to 'Clear.'
BACKGROUND
Background Image - Allows for a custom background to be applied via gallery.
Enable Background - Enables the selected Custom background.
MEDIA
Fake Camera - This will make pictures you send from the gallery appear as if you took them with the camera. Note: The auto send bug from Pikik is fixed!
No Save - When someone receives media (image or video) from you, the option to save it will be disabled.
Auto Loop - When someone receives a video from you, it will automatically repeat (start from the beginning again after the video is over).
Auto Mute - When someone receives a video from you, it will be muted by default. Note: They can still unmute the video if they choose to.
Auto Play - When someone receives media a video from you, it will start playing automatically. Note: They can still disable this by going to Settings -> Chat Settings -> Auto Play Videos.
No Forward - When someone receives media (image or video) from you, the option to forward it will be disabled. Note: They can still save it (unless No Save is enabled) and send it to another group.
TIMESTAMPS
All Timestamps - This will show a timestamp above every message (including join/leave messages).
Exact Timestamps - This show the exact time instead of approximations such as "a minute ago."
Past Timestamps - This option is just for fun. It will make your messages appear to have been sent on December 31st, 1969. Note: It may push your chat to the bottom of the receivers conversation list.
PER-CHAT
Global Settings - Pikek has the ability to change read receipts and typing notifications per-chat. This means that you can make one chat (PM or group) see S-check (sent receipts) and another chat will not. This option applies the next two options to all chats regardless. To access the per-chat options, disable this option and go to the chat information screen for the chat you want to configure.
Disable Typing - When you type it will not say "XYZ is typing..."
Read Receipts - Normal: the other person will see when you read (R) their message. This is the default behaviour for Kik Messenger. Delievered: They will know their message was delievered (D) to your device. This would normally mean your device has received their message but you haven't opened it yet. Stealth: the other person will see that their message was sent (S) to Kik. This would normally mean your device is not turned on, connected to the Internet, you are signed out, or otherwise not able to receive messages.
YOUR ACCOUNT
Save Pikek Settings - All Settings will not be wiped when logging out of Kik.
Save Per-Chat - This will save all per-chat options and they will persist through resets. This is useful for switching accounts periodically and maintaining your per-chat settings.
BATCH OPTIONS
On the conversation list screen there is an icon to left of the Kik Browser icon (on the top right), pressing this will bring up the following four actions:
Clear all chats - This will permanently delete all messages from all chats including private messages. Note: This does nothing to New Chats. If you click the New Chats bar at the bottom, there will be a recycle bin icon at the top right. Pressing that icon will remove all new chats.
Mute all chats - This will mute (forever) all chats. Note: This does nothing to New Chats.
Unmute all chats - This will unmute all chats. Note: This does nothing to New Chats.
Mark all read - This will remove the blue dot on all chats, indicating there is no unread messages. Note: This does nothing to New Chats. Bug: Force closing after using this option will make it only temporary and the unread status will return upon reopening Pikek. This does NOT send any read receipt (S, D, R) to the chats.
LONG PRESS CONVO
Clear - This will permanently delete all messages in this chat.
Save - This will save a transcript to your SD card or internal storage. When you use this option a toast will come up telling you the file path and file name. Note: The file name is the timestamp when the transcript was saved and "_TRANSCRIPT.txt"
IN CHAT
Pi icon (top right) - This is just a shortcut to the Pikek settings.
Long Press Message (Reply) - this copies the message to the input text box and adds two new lines.
Long Press Message (Kick) - This will kick the user from the group. Note: this option only shows up if the user is able to be kicked by you.
Long Press Message (Ban) - This will ban the user from the group. Note: this option only shows up if the user is able to be banned by you.
Chat Info - If Global Settings are disabled, an option to toggle typing notifications and your preferred read receipt will appear.
COMMANDS
!commands - This will list available commands.
!comhelp - This will provide usage instructions on custom commands.
!bothelp - This will provide usage instructions on using Kik Bots.
!c - This will change the ASCII text after the "!c " into Regional Indicator Symbols. This is just for fun.
!purge - This will remove all possible users from a group very quickly.
!unban - This will clear the ban list in a group provided you're an admin.
OTHER
No Pull - Normally in the conversation list pulling down from the top will open your camera so that you can scan a Kik Code. This option disables that. Note: You can still use Kik Codes while this is enabled.
Open Tray - Normally after inserting one smiley, the tray closes. This keeps the tray open so that you can add more than one smiley at a time in less time.
Anti Loggers - It is possible to get your IP Address logged by receiving and clicking a carefully crafted Kik Card. This option prevents that as the expense of not being able to open legitimate Kik Cards.
Enable Links - Often times other users will send malicious URLs. This option will prevent you from accidentally clicking one. Further, there can be issues with some URLs making Kik lag and crash. This will not happen if this option is not checked.
Use Browser - Any parsed links will not be opened through Kik's browser, but instead through your device's default web browser.
Privacy Mode - This will make the preview on the conversation list screen always say "..." so that a shoulder-surfer won't have any idea what is going on in the other groups.
Do Not Disturb - Enabling this will leave any group you are added to. This is great for getting out of "Kik Jails" and leaving groups at night without worrying about being added back. Note: The groups where it says "Just You" is not a Pikek bug, that's a Kik bug.
TROLL
Auto Read - Overrides Global Settings and automatically sends Read Scripts to all users.
Auto Reply (BETA) - Every time you recieve a PM, a message is automatically sent back to the user. This message is currently not changeable.
Auto Meme (BETA) - Every time you recieve a PM, the sent message is automatically sent back to the user who sent it.
Auto Annoy (BETA) - Secret
EMOTIONS
Ghost Emoticons - This is just for fun. Clicking this will add the standard set of smileys to the options but they are gray instead of yellow. Note: clicking it more than once will add the ghost smileys to the options more than once. You can get rid of them by opening the smiley shop (the + symbol in the smiley tray).
All Emoticons - Sometimes a user will lose the smileys they legitimately purchased with Kik Points and is left with no way to recover them. This option will unlock ALL smileys and is ONLY to be used by those who have previously purchased them legitimately with Kik Points. By using this option you agree that you have legitimately purchased ALL smileys with Kik Points and you take full responsibility of ALL consequences resulting from the use of this option.

There's no need to get triggered , I was obviously joking . Failure to determine authorship results in possible false positives so I decided to joke about it . I find it rather odd that providing a link for the apk file didn't make it evident that it was a joke.

It is amazing work. Unfortunately, Kik team keeps on patching the mods. Many times the Fake Camera option has been patched, but thanks to the amazing devs, we are able to keep the feature going.
On April 1st, 2017 timeframe they made it so modded kik clients cannot join public groups (the ones with hashtags), also they set put a rule, that newly joined members cannot send any media(pictures, videos, stickers, etc) for 24 hours after they join the group. Please look into this. Thanks
I love you guys, you make Kik a wonderful experience.

[Q] Where is contacts group in Oreo

hi all
I cannot find groups management in contacts, I have oreo Crb7 stock
When I go to contacts options there is no button for groups I cannot edit my groups, wny advice?
_EDIT:
Found it, it is in names list, not like before from options button[emoji19]
Groups management gone in new android update?!
So does that mean we can no longer create/delete/edit/change ringtones of our Groups?? Every time Android has an update they take other useful stuff away! First text message tones for individual contacts, now this....!!!

There is a quicker way to get to groups in Oreo. Just press and hold on either the contacts icon or the phone icon. You will see groups there and immediately click into it!

Was it removed in edit contact. Seems to me it's more trouble to have to add a contact then go to groups or Labels and add the person. WTF. It's supposed to be easier not harder. Labels was an option when you edit a contact. Now it's gone. How do I get it back?
