I use gosms. I absolutely love it. It's way better than handcent. It has everything handcent does (emoji, pop ups, customization) and more like:

A very clean ui

Option for different running modes(i use lite mode. It has no addons and runs fast)

Emoji. I can't stress it enough. It has better encoding. On handcent my iphone friends had problems viewing it but on gosms it works great.

Private box. A locked in box where you can receive messages without people seeing them. I have all the conversations I have with girls in there.

Group chat. No need to download 15 addons or pay like handcent. All you have to do is go to send settings and turn on "mms group chat". Works flawlessly.

All around gosms is so much better. Don't bother with handcent or chomp.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Used to use Handcent then switched to GoSMS. Been using GoSMS for quite a while now.
[HTC Rezound] alphabets:
seems like i might be sticking with GO. I don't dis-like it, but it seems even the "lite" mode is becoming bloated. I like the stock htc app except when downloading group messages or attachments it takes forever, unlike GO which would show up immediately.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Be weary of GO products. I noticed a while ago (when I stopped using them) that they seem to use a lot of data :eek:... I wonder what they could be doing... And what data they gather... Anyway just sayin
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
I stick with stock aosp on cm9. I'm normally a go sms fan for all it's features but I hate how it's always running while aosp isn't. I personally think go devs implemented unnecessary services into it.
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Well I would use AOSP but it lacks emoji. All my friends have iphones and holy s*** do they love their emojis :eek::eek::eek::eek:
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
The stock version from the Ville C Sense 4.0 base.

Specifically, Nils' Business ICS 4.0...
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
Yea, I just use the stock messaging app. I also use SMS Popup to get the popup window with the quick reply, delete, etc. And if you really want emoji there are ways to get emoji in android with special font files. I dont care about them so its no big deal.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
I'd rather have an SMS app that's not running nonstop since SMS apps with emojis have excessive services and such running. waste of battery when you aren't using it. even if go SMS is configured to not run persistently there's still unwanted crap running
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
You must not text much because everyone uses them and those font files are for them to show up in black and white.

Well you obvious don't know what your talking about because the reason why mine runs nonstop is to receive messages. If you uninstall stock message(which btw runs all the time ;)) you need to make sure gosms is the one receiving messages. Also it doesn't waste battery its like a 5mb process that runs in the background. There's no unwanted crap...
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
You can't really say that. I average around 1000 texts a month and I have never once received a single message with emoji. People I communicate with don't use them.
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Yeah I probably shouldn't have said that but almost everyone at my high school has an iphone so they use them a lot.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
Ive tried them all and always seem to come back to stock
[HTC Rezound] alphabets:
I do like stock except for the group message and attachment issues out gives me.

[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
I do know what I'm talking about cause I monitor everything my phone does. aosp messaging never runs all the time. it's cached to background unlike go sms that's always running in foreground to receive. any decent app knows not to run like that. obviously you don't know what you'breasts talking about cause aosp is never running nonstop. it's cached over. with go sms you get 1 or 2 things running in foreground. don't believe me? look at my screen shot. 3rd party apps tend to be excessive period. not bashing them...they just don't run as well as aosp based on task handling
[HTC Rezound] DomOctober:
GoSMS has my vote, but I agree it's a little creepy how their stuff is still free. Think they make good money on the themes.
[HTC Rezound] mharner:
Tried installing gosms and it wouldn't finish activating or verifying at the end of the setup...will this only work if you've removed the stock app or have go launcher? I'm bone stock and only wanna try it bc very frequently the stock msging app will mess up loading the small boxes on the left next to the recipient name where you can put pictures or whatever(which I have never done). Instead if the blank box sometimes they won't load at all or some will or some will load with the voicemail icon...strange stuff....any idea on a fix for that? Tried two factory resets already.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
have stock present first. doesn't require go launcher. tell go sms that stock is uninstalled but freeze it, don't remove it
[HTC Rezound] DomOctober:
I've never seen that happen before, speaking of the installation issues or the portrait next to the message problem. Give GoSMS a shot, but clearly you can't seem to get it running. Try it another time or two, and if not maybe try side loading the APK or something? That's strange.
[HTC Rezound] mharner:
Thanks guys. This is my first smartphone and after lurking on here forever I think I'll take the plunge next day off work to get comfortable with all the info on unlocking and the s off trick and try out some ROMs :D
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
i use google voice as text app... downside you can't send/receive pictures
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
that's only useful for a spare number to text from or on devices without service but have wifi. otherwise it's another battery sucking app that's always running in foreground. each have their pros and cons. everyone has different preferences
[HTC Rezound] Edvard_Greig:
I've got one for you-

I used GOSMS and the full GO suite for quite a while, but found they were eating resources, and more importantly started getting notification tray ads etc....and bye bye to GO it was.

I've now been using 'Contacts' by ContApps and it is truly great...it does a really good job of what sense tries to do in that it does the necessary SMS stuff (pop-ups/quick-replys) but also aggregates your social network info together for people too (last posts/tweets/checkins etc)....really pretty decent stuff and so far has been low overhead. If you have a lot of contacts it supports gesture based searching, and generally a fairly pretty interface as a dialer replacement. It doesn't support theming which sucks, but generally I've been happy with it and worth checking out.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
^nice username :good:
[HTC Rezound] Morpheus991:
I've always used chomp. I've tried others but ended back up with chomp. Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect but it's pretty customizable and they have an emoji add on. They just had a promotion where you can make it ad free for $.99 and after about 3 years of use I decided it was worth the plunge ;)
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
that contacts+ is pretty neat. beats go contacts for sure. I still wouldn't use it for sms but it definitely became my default contacts app
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Yea contacts + is what sense wants to be... It's a legit app...
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Have you guys ever heard of ad free android. It downloads the latest ad blocking host file. It's free in the play store for root users. No ads ever.

As for aosp messaging. Google really needs to step up their game. The only thing in an iphone I am jealous of is the messaging app. It is so smooth and full of stuff.

It allows for emoji to be sent. Google has taken this step by putting emoji in jelly bean buy it is very hard to use.

It handles group messaging beautifully. If you've ever tried to have a group chat on android you have to wait for the mms to download and realize its a group message. On apple messages it realizes its pure text and downloads fast. Sometimes I can't keep up with people because my phone is downloading like 3 messages at a time and by the time I receive them more come in.

Google also needs to incorporate Talk into the messaging app like imessage. That would be 1000x easier and make people use talk more. It would be even better if they had an official client for iOS.

Everything about iphones I absolutely hate, except that damn messaging app...
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I kind of agree with you. The google messaging app and talk service kind of suck to put it nicely lol. The HTC app does too... Messaging apps are important but they don't care. Same with Gmail. It's much nicer than before but is there still not a select all option?
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I used handcent for about a year or so then switched over to gosms about a year ago, but I finally uninstalled it because it was annoying the hell out of me and spamming my inbox constantly. When girlfriend switched from an iPhone to the SGS3 I told her to install gosms so that we could use gochat since she was on at&t and I only have 1000 texts per month. It worked well at first but then would never deliver the messages (sent but not received), I would have to log out and then log back in and then I would get like ten messages at once and the same thing would happen to her. She would also get the same message that I sent previously, but hours later. Even after I explicitly logged out via the settings menu, it would randomly log me back in, even after a reinstall!

After it finally stopped that crap, I would get texts from go whenever I would install it and then occasionally recommending that I use gochat because it noticed that I sent a lot of texts. It would also send me texts about their other apps. I even talked to the devs about it and they offered lame excuses and help. I finally got fed up with it a few weeks ago and went back to handcent and haven't had a problem yet!
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
I don't use go chat but for those messages I found gosms's blacklist feature to be sufficient...
[HTC Rezound] yoshway:
I like the stock messages app by far the best, just wish it had support for emoji. I've used go sms and like it but it seems to have a lot of trouble with group texts...
[HTC Rezound] Jacklad:
I've been using MySMS for awhile - it allows you to receive and answer emails on your computer as an add-on to the Chrome browser - the phone app is pretty clean, with a couple of simple themes available - the only limitation that I can see, unless I've just been unable to figure out how to do it, is copying info from a text message and pasting it elsewhere (like a phone number or address) - other than that, it's become a very useful tool for my work, enabling me to easily send texts to multiple co-workers without scrambling for my phone - there is also a version of the app made for tablets that will work over wi-fi - really cool
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateenf:
Hey All,

I have installed Foxhound ROM for ICS and loaded the Siyah Kernal.. The ROM itself is great, I have also overclocked the CPU to 1.7Ghz, But i see some battery warming issues. I have installed NStools as well.

Any recommendations what under volting can i use with this config?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Why overclock,do u experience any difference in speed in daily use,except in benchmark..

Btw an app is installed with siyah called STweaks,it controls all kernel features.read first page post 4-5 by droidphile,excellent guide
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateenf:
Yes I have observed changed after overclocking.. The s3 boots up way faster plus for gaming it showed me real difference specially playing real racing 2 with 1.4 and 1.7..Now I only need to undervolt correctly so I can save on my batter life.. Can we set a custom voltage for 1.7 below stock values??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
stock voltage for 1.7 ghz is 1400mv, try undervolting by -50mv to -100mv and stick with one which is stable
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordonx10i:
use setcpu

keep changing it down in increments of 12.5mv and do the strees test keep doing that till u find a value that works

ps once u've done that let's us know what it is.

1088mv for 1200mHz that's the top freq I use so I never played with the voltages for the freq above it.

Hope this helps

remember thanks if it did

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

k did the testing for ya

on MY DEVICE (Every device slightly diff)

1704MHz voltage 1288mv (put in 1290mv it will round it down)

if that don't work or is not stable for u then the next step up is to 1300mv .

775 mv for 100MHz .

hope this helps and if it did thanks is only 1 click away.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateenf:
Thanks Bala, Stressing the phone to -50mv at the moment.. Have you tried at -100mv? whats the result so far?

Also when charging I observe my phone warming a little.. Is that good?

Can I share the paid apps with my another phone like Apple apps with iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch. If so, how can I do it. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:

lol, are you on crack? Its blatantly obvious what the OP was asking. He was asking if Android devices have the same type of sharing capabilities as Apple devices. Who in their right mind would ask if you can use Android apps on iOS or think somebody was asking it?

Answer is yes, like other poster mentions just sync your google account.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottXe:
I just want to clarify that if I have two Google accounts on the devices. Can I downloaded the paid app from each account on the device. It can be done on iOS devices but I must use the individual password for each account before downing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kranti2064:
Not on Android, no. Just to simplify: Say you have device A on which you purchased an app with g@g.com.

Now if you want to use the same app in device B, you will need to be logged on in Google with the same id, g@g.com. If you are logged in on device B with f@g.com, you will not be able to share the app that you purchased on device A logged in with g@g.com

This is because all your purchases are linked to the Google account you purchased them on.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankwhite8536:
Thanks for the answer, I'm in a similar boat. I know I can't do iCrap apps, but here's my situation: I just bought a Nexus 7 for my stepson. I have an existing G(everything) account. I've spent a good chunk of change on apps. I'd like to be able to setup his 7 with my app store, but not give him access to all my things google. It's not so bad with him, but he goes to his dads and the last thing I want is his dad having access to all my things Google.

I'm pretty good with rooting and flashing, so that's an option. Even moving .APKs from one to the other I could do with a little help and trial and error. Any ideas? Is this possible out of the box? And with 4.2 having different users, is this something I can take advantage of? His bday is not for a week or two and I have the 7, so I may just experiment a little. (that's my excuse for cracking it open, and I'm sticking to it!)
[HTC One S] jentzschman2000:
Just rooted my One s. I have heard HTC should be releasing JB sometime early Sep from what I heard.

Whenever they do though, will it un-root the phone if downloaded?

I know there is JB rom now, but I was just curious about the HC OTA update.

Thanks.
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
U cant download HTC updates with a unlocked bootloader you will have to lock it and then do update which will stop your root access ... Who told u that it was coming early September I'm thinking its coming October
[HTC One S] jentzschman2000:
The Tmo guy... but guess that was a sales pitch...

Now that I think about it, when HTC does release it, guess the devs will be jumping on that anyway....
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Lol T-Mobile is still on 1.84! International is already on 2.31. It will be international first then a few months later because T-Mobile has to add their bloat to it.
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
The current version number has nothing to do with anything. It was released a while back that T-Mo would leave the One S on 1.84 until JB was released. We just have to wait for HTC to release JB Sense. We really don't have to wait for T-Mo's US release because no one cares (unless you use Wi-Fi calling or want complete stock).

Hello XDA...I just have one request which i hope you guys will fulfill...I just installed CM9 Alpha8...I am not satisfied with its task manager...so i wanted to know that is stock gb task manager compatible with CM9...??? And if it is...then please can anyone attach taskmanager.apk file and help me out???....as i dont have it available right now... Thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jassim007:
What you need: Root Explorer....

Open Root Explorer....go to system....app...and paste task manager apk...and set permissions to rw-r-r....it should look like an inverted L. And reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Shehram Ahmad:
The task manager you provided is quite different from the one that was in stock Rom (Gingerbread 2.3.6)...its icon is different...also it doesnot show the name of running app...only Ram usage of that app and its icon is shown...and it does not show my external sd card storage as well...only shows phone memory( 1gb) and usb storage(1.7gb) as external SD...why???

However thanks for sharing...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jassim007:
I don't know why it does not show name of the app in active applications. Its not show your external SD because it is mounted as emmc. I will try to find a another version if I can.

Anyone know how to use the native messaging app through google voice? I know there is an option within the app but it uses different phone numbers for the incoming so when you respond it will know you its going to.

What I am looking for is something that will full integrate, using my contacts phone numbers when they message me. Also when i start a thread from within the messaging app i want it to go through google voice. I found this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mdrtools.apps.gvintegration&hl=en

But is that the only way to make it happen? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
thats the only way using the default numbers in your contacts that i know of.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocialReject:
Same.. I used to use that all the time but now I'm on an unlimited plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wjsmaggle:
If you're rooted, I've found that this app works perfectly for me on the Nexus:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vintegration.free&feature=more_from_developer

Disclaimer: I've got the paid version. This is the free one and I don't know what the difference is haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ml3000:
I just loaded the free one, cant tell the difference between the paid and the free. This app got a lot of bad reviews so i was skeptical... seems to be working ok. How is your battery life with it?

Also I am on an unlimited plan as well, i just want to start giving out my GV number and not my regular number anymore... Time for a change
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wjsmaggle:
I haven't had any trouble with battery life. There was an older version of the app that sucked down battery, but since it's been updated I haven't noticed any appreciable decrease.

I am using Windows 7 and I need to backup my data so I can move to JB. However, when I connect my phone with a USB cable and drag all the files from my phone over to my laptop, it TAKES FOREVER!!!

Also, I think it "times out" or something because in the middle of the process, I'll always get "invalid copy handle" errors and have to start over.

Does anyone know a good, fast way to backup the data on our phones?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Well you can always do "adb pull /sdcard/ C:\directory you want"

Also to backup apps+data, do "adb backup -f C:\directory you want -all -apk -noshared -system" For more info about backing up apps and data, check this thread

Hope I you have drivers installed and know how to use adb ;)

Thanks for the ideas!

I actually tried copying one folder at a time and it's much more reliable. Still slow but at least no time outs.
