Best Go SMS Pro Alternative - Android General

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a good alternative to Go SMS Pro for messaging please (paid or free)? Go SMS Pro used to be great but recently it seems to have gone down the pan; applied themes keep dropping off, even if you've paid for them, and you can't reply to messages from the widget anymore.
I'm looking for an app with a widget similar to Go SMS Pro which lets you reply to messages without opening the actual app. Something which has a popup avatar like Go SMS would be great, but that's just a nice-to-have rather than a must.
Any recommendations would be gratefully received - thanks.

GO SMS Pro Emoji Plugin

So I never use a 3rd party texting app, but I saw that Go SMS updated to Go SMS Pro and supports Emoji.
Anyways, I downloaded GO SMS Pro Emoji Plugin and it's working fine when I send the Emoji to an iPhone they receive it and they can see it. But when iPhone users send me some all I see are question marks and symbols.
I've tried Handcent too but the same thing happens
Can anyone help me

[Q] Go SMS sms scheduling?

i know there are plenty of sms scheduling apps out there but i find it nice to ave enevrything in one place. i also know that go sms supports the 'sms scheduling'. the only way i have found to do this however is highlighting a previously sent message and selecting the 'convert to schedule message'. id like to be able to make my own message without sending it, and then schedule to send it at a specific time and was wondering if it was possible in go sms because i havent found it. thanks!
Try handcent
i am pretty sure that handcent does not support that feature yet
Has anyone worked out how to use this properly yet?
Ignore this post
The way I use it is to have it set to pro version. When you are on the messages page just swipe the screen to the side and it will change to "folders" and/or "plugins". In the "folders" page there is a scheduler in there.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE (SHV-E110S) SMS

My phone was locked to T-world, but it's now rooted and ready to go! BUT i have one problem and that is SMS. I'm limited to a maximum of 80 letters. obviously that is not even close to what I want and almost all my texts are longer than 80.
I need to type in my own phone number too, seriously annoying.
My question is..
is it possible to just replace the whole SMS bit from my phone with the one in the regulare GS2? If this is possible (fingers crossed), how do I do that? I'm a n00b with android and the entire operating system, so go easy on me .
I tried various kinds of SMS applications, however none of them work. With the stock SMS app I can send/receive sms, but with the other apps it's not working at all.
Another tip I got was to find a jolly old phone and type in my phone nr there in the settings as a simple "hack", but I tried a few phones but can't seem to find this option in any of them.
My phone is rooted, and ready to be dug into.
Please help me out guys (and gals)
I really want a fix for this, please help

Verizon Messages 11/19 update

So Verizon just pushed an update to their Messages app, which was a great replacement for the stock messaging app for several reasons. Unfortunately, all of the color customization options and popup notifications have been removed. I have no idea why they would do that, but it's terrible! I'll still use it though because it handles MMS group texts (with iPhone users) very well, unlike the stock app.
Anyone else use this? Anyone else bummed out by the latest update/regression?

I would install it when I got group messages but i'd uninstall after.
The notifications/pop-ups can be turned off but the default notifications won't appear. It's nice and I wish other SMS apps/CM10 could handle or implement the group feature so I wouldn't have to download this app.

The pop-ups have been completely removed in the latest update, which was one of the major reasons to use the app!
I use group text a lot. I just got this GS3, so I'm still feeling it out. On my last phone (GS1), I used GoSMS Pro, which worked great except that I would get two notifications every time I got a group text. Once for recieving the text, and then another once GoSMS realized it's a group text and moved it into a group thread. That was annoying!

[APP][MOD] LightFlowLITE Sms off only when read

Hey fellow xda-ers!
I love and use the LightFlowLITE app from rageconsulting found on the Google Play store, i absolutely love it!
However, if i were to receive more than one SMS, i would reply to the one SMS but not the other, my notification light would turn off. So i modded the apk to check if ALL the SMS are read before turning off the light.
i have tested this with GO SMS and it works perfectly. I do use the Accessibility service option, as if i don't it won't shut off my light. This being said, it should work with Stock SMS apps. If not, just reply with the SMS app you are using, ROM, and device information and i will see what i can do. Thanks everyone!

I do plan to add this into the main app (really old versions v1.x actually did this, but it went with contact specific notifications to being based on what was viewed instead of what was read as many people leave conversations as unread and got confused to why it wouldn't clear.

Thanks for planning on adding it! Really love this, keeps me from forgetting to reply. And im not sure what you mean by "people leave conversations as unread" if you open the conversation, it marks the message as read.. and by default, i think if you have an unread SMS it still keeps the LED on. Anyway, can't wait to see the update!
