When you expand the text input box on the stock SMS app on Jellybean 4.3 it is way too big. GoSMS Pro has it right. Is there anyway to mod it to make it smaller? I don't want to use a 3rd party app because they always have problems with sending MMS messages for me. Any ideas?

I am using the SMS unread count widget and i like this app a lot. but i would prefer to launch either GO sms or handcent sms whenever i launch the app, instead of launching the stock SMS.
I've tried to clear default from stock SMS but there is still no option for me to select the program which i like to set as default.
any idea on this??
use go launcher ex and this get go launcher ex notifier, just seems like a very easy way to do what u want the way u say u would like it and it seems the 2 would compliment one another as well.

i want to know as well... i tried to clear the default app but strange thing is for stock Messaging "default" is greyed. so i can't even clear it..but i would like to open GoSms through sms unread count :s
Anyone? Use SMS Count to open Go SMS so we can get an SMS counter on Widgetlocker screen, but use Go SMS as primary SMS.
Bump
Having the exact same problem... Also tried Missed it, but the same thing happens...
Seems this widget has other issues if you read the reviews. I have handcent and it has its own widget that does basically the same thing I believe. Just shows the icon with a number of unread messages? I am betting Go SMS has its own widget too but wouldn't know as I don't use it.
True, I use Go SMS, and its widget, but I'd prefer SMS Unread Count for its ability to pick any icon... The Go SMS widget has a choice of three integrated icons which I'm not really fond of...
hello everyone
i am still in decision on what to use as my launcher
i like tw4 but i use handcent and not the stock messaging app.
ive replaced the stock messaging app in the dock and i have also switched all the notifications off for the messaging app but i still get the notification on the icon in the applications list saying i have 1 unread message. the only way i can get that off is by clicking on the stock messaging app and viewing the message... this is really annoying as i would have to check it twice.
is there a fix for this?
i would also like to know which launcher is lighter and takes less ram.
all help is much appreciated
kind regards
What app do you recommend?
Go Sms Pro
GO SMS Pro: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jb.gosms&feature=search_result
SMS backup/restore built in!
Installed it now (GO SMS PRO) and follow the instructions to disable the standard sms app but I still get sms / mms in both apps.
How do you solve it?
disable notifications manually in standard app should be enough. try reboot.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
got the same problem.. thanks for that.
Actually never tried go sms, will do, but handcent sms works like a charm too, especially when you're writing with greek characters and want 160 characters per sms and no 70...

Handcent SMS
I used Handcent for a long time and it's very good and has the best feature: quick reply window.
another vote for handcent here
i had both handcent and go sms installed, at the same time for a couple of weeks, to get a good comparison...
go sms is good, but i like handcent better!
i still haven´t tried chomp sms though...
+ 1 for Handcent
You could 'freeze' the default messaging app using Titanium.
i also used both. both have cool features. not so much difference between them but i prefer handcent.
I think that the stock messaging app on the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 is paintfully ugly.
I Think that Handcent SMS is better by far. But when i install Handcent i receive my sms from both apps (stock and Handcent).
Is it possible to stop the stock app from recieving my sms?
english is not my native language, so is not very good, sorry!
Thank you!
Open the stock messages app, and disable notifications in the settings menu. This will stop you from getting double notifications.
Hi,
Coming from an iPhone background, I am finding the transition to this phone great!!!
One minor problem is group messages of 7 or more getting converted to MMS (as I found out to my expense). Is there an alternative SMS app that doesn't do this??
Go sms

MySMS
MySMS is really great. Support different websms Provide, A perfect backup function and a lot more. Free Messages between Mysms users are also included...
Thanks for the replies :good:
I know this thread is a little old, but I remember that there was some hidden options in the SMS app on Gigerbread (3 Android version ago). One of them was whether or not you wanted to auto convert SMS messages longer than 160 characters to MMS. If your phone was rooted, you could edit an xml file to make this option appear so that you could check it.
In the same .xml file, you could actually set the numbers of character required for the auto convert to embark. I remember putting a crazy number.
In the end, on your phone it would still show as one huge message, but the recipient would receive multiple messages of 160 characters. Your phone would do the magic and send regular SMS instead of MMS.
If I can find the thread, I would link it, and then see if those options still works in KitKat on my rooted Z1c.
Check out sliding messaging. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smitten.slidingmms

Textra is hands down the best messaging app I've used. Try it out!
textra is a simplified version of chomp. i just like the more customisation that chomp offers
