[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
This is a stock AOKP 4.3 messaging app themed. The original version with gray panels has been discontinued. Version two has clear conversation list panels that expose the stock gradient background themed with Holo Blue. Version three adds outline bubbles that match the text color and has the avatars removed. They include Emoji, quick reply, breathing sms notification, strip unicode, enter for a new line, and custom user agent. No popup with the quick reply, quick reply is accessible thru the notification dropdown. HO versions have alternate Hangouts smileys in place of the stock droid ones. These are only tested on my Nexus 4 that is running 4.3 stock deodexed JWR66Y build. If you have success with a different rom, please post it. Don't forget to hit the thanks button if you like.
