if thats the Palm SMS proggy you better remove it...
and nobody has been able to extract the pocket outlook program yet afaik. I would think it would be near imposible, it'd be easier to just upgrade your phone to 6.1.

Works great...thanks, only thing is you should clear out your inbox before you install this, it took forever to import all my messages in.
Can someone post a cab that will forward all text from one phone (work) to another phone (personal)? I want to keep from carrying two phones on the weekend.
BUMP
I thought I would bump this post and just say that android has this type of an application and was hoping that someone has something like this... Im searching and just haven't found it yet.
why not to use PIMBackup to backup sms from one and to restore (up) in the other one ?
Sorry for not being clear.

This would work if I did not need live updates on the text that my work phone is getting. To compound the problem my work cell is the TP2 and my personal phone is a Droid Eris. My work cell has voice and text only so the application would have to utilize text to text feature. I don't think my phone allows mms. Is there any apps out there that can do this?
Still Searching.

Hi,
I have been semi interested in this SMS system. Mainly because I like the idea of integrated systems with Facebook perhaps.
What do you guys use? I know there is the stock SMS but i don't know - it just doesn't appeal to me any more
Or more importantly, I would love an SMS system which could put a hidden prefix of *0# at the start of each message (and not show it that I sent it like that when viewing messages) because my network requires this stupid prefix for delivery reports.
Your suggestions would be very much appreciated
Edit: Ok skip about FB integration. Seems FB get annoyed about others using their service but happy to leech other people. Hmm..
I used Handcent SMS since forever, but now for some reason it's no longer available on the market.
I found GOSMS and am actually quite happy. I like it better than Handcent. And the themes are pretty cool, especially Machine City.

Thanks for reply Though I guess more importantly for me is the prefix idea. I don't suppose you know or heard any similar SMS program that would do this? I did add it as a feedback suggestion to these guys. No idea if it would be implemented though.
Did you delete the stock SMS?

I'm also using GO SMS PRO and for me it's awesome, but I don't have very big requirements. For normal user it has got everything, for sure it's better than stock sms app.
E :I'm not sure that an app supports adding prefixes.

Hey yall!
I bought my Mom a TF201 for Christmas. She doesn't have a cell phone, but would like to take advantage of a texting app, so that she can text my sister and I, like apps that are available for iPod Touch or the iPad. Is there an Android app that will set her up with a phone number to send and receive texts from? I've tried TextPlus and TxtMe but both are designed to sync up with an android phone, which is of course practical, but not something she has. We live in Canada, so sadly, Google Voice is not an option, which breaks my heart, I love Google Services, and wish we had access to GVoice here.
If anyone can offer me some suggestions, that would be great!
Thanks a lot!
*cheers*

That was exactly the type of app I was looking for! She's all set up with a number for texting. Thanks a lot!
Here are some alternatives to SMS:
MySMS:

Kik:

Personally, I've only tested Kik and it works very well.

I use Viber on it, and if you have a rooted one you can use whatsapp.
hello guys
i made mistake and use textra for two year, well it was a better app than stock android 4.3 sms app,but yesterday i noticed new messaging app from Cyanogenmod 12.1 on my xperia sp is great! and then i noticed because i,m a flashoholic and play around with so much rom, i never backuped my messaging storage apart from textra,so then i backed up my messaging storage with SMS Backup & Restore app until i find i dont have my older ( 60000+) message from textra! so yea had a small search and find out textra sms is the only sms app that use its own database! [email protected]$#%^&%#%& !! and there is no way to get it on stock or any other sms app beside convert messaging.db from textra database.
i find this : https://github.com/sync-oz/convert-textra-db-to-xml
but i cant figure it out how to do it in windows 10 and i,m not expert on this kind of method
can you get me right and more specific Instructions from link above? or can you make a simple app with script that read textra database and convert it to xml?
can anybody save me from textra?
Nobody? Just a tip to how to do it?

If you didn't make a backup before making your mod then its probably gone.

To be honest restoring sms data is asking to corrupt the dB which can lead to sms app not working properly

I wouldn't know where to start with that even if I needed to.
I agree that trying that would probably just lead to more issues because you are crossing apps and crossing operating systems and the operating systems are different versions. Usually, an operating system doesn't like files that were saved or generated in another operating system and android versions don't like files from other android versions. Depending on the data that is from other systems, that system kind of "tags" it so that it knows that it was the one that created it and where it was saved to, that can cause issues due to partitioning differences between android versions.
Are the messages that important?

I have to agree. When I asked textra about it they stated that it was encrypted so only their app could read it.

Yes! Some of the messages are really important.
I know what you saying, but textra app make me use its own app like forever, and thats not what i want! And database of textra is seprate from any system function,and if we convert it to xml it just can be readable for stock sms app in every other rom,
Just look at the app to know it better

Yea they say that but i think thats a lie, because i have my messaging.db (database) from textra and it is readable even from a simple text editor, and i can see my message in the file, but its just for textra. I know it can be convert, just look at this :
https://github.com/sync-oz/convert-textra-db-to-xml
And if you can read this thread :

Yeah, I'm sure its easily readable in a text editor, there is a difference in reading a .txt file in a text editor and viewing an actual text message.
But bringing those texts to a different app to view them is another story.
If you could convert as easily as you seem to think then why haven't you done it yet. You keep posting links that you think will make it possible but they aren't working for you yet, are they? Hmm...I wonder why? Maybe because it can't be done the way you are trying?
If you want your messages restored then try to do it with the Textra app....you know....where they actually came from to begin with...the app that is already capable of reading them? Do it the way its guaranteed to work instead of trying something that could potentially corrupt your device AND possibly corrupt the messages you are trying to recover, if you corrupt them in the attempt then they'll be gone for good and you will have wasted your time. I'm just saying go with what already works.
The second link in your post above me has numerous posts from users that keep saying that textra messages are tied to textra and can't be imported. The developer of Textra even states that it doesn't work. I'm sure the guy that created the app would know infinitely more about it than you do.
Give it up, you aren't gonna get those messages in a different text app. It just isn't going to work. You are not the first to have tried it.
Just take it as a lesson learned and move on, just keep this as a reminder to backup what you want to keep before flashing over it. Use SMS backup to backup/restore your Textra messages.

Chill out man,this is a helping community not a church, i need some help to get rid of textra but i needed my messages and i just asked from my freinds in xda to helping me,the guy who wrote that script its not around xda to answer my question.
Search it on google,you will find that can be done by having a right table,but i dont know what table i should use.
you think you know it all? It is doable to convert it by just a script but i cant do it because i dont have that knowledge,it seem you dont have it to,i simply asked to know what should i do,is asking wrong? so go then please i dont need someone that knows less than me..thank you

The evidence says no it won't work. I don't know everything but I'm sure the developers of Textra would know better than either one of us. That's all I really said, not in so many words but that was the point.

I dont say you are wrong, they say that, because there is no official way to do it, i need some developer's guide,if you know about somthing that i can learn from it just show me.
The developers of textra dont want to us leaving their app that because they design it this way to have a seprate database from android official messaging storage, but i want freedom,not to be chained to one app.. And Thank you for your answer

I'm thinking it is like trying to use two different languages, no matter how many words there are in the two languages, some things just won't translate no matter what you do. I really think you are wasting your time but that's your choice. I wish you luck.

So i done it, i searched alot(almost 1 week),read alot and at the end i learned to do it,i converted textra database to xml,and restored it to android stock messaging app and deleted textra app for ever. I just want to say next time try to help somebody, don't disappoint them, and do not say anything unless you know it all because nobody here on xda ask for wrong direction! Soon i will make a complete tutorial and post it in gerenal section.
Please do. I'm sure lot of people will be interested including me as I'm gonna try Textra for the first time. Before switching from stock messaging, I wanted to know if I can roll back easily and I ended up here and here : Textra... Beware!, and the confirmation from the developper here : How to get textra messages to appear in stock sms?. It seems it's not so easy by design.
So definetely I'll be interested in your tutorial.

I wouldn't hold your breath. I think he is full of bunk, personally. You don't come in here saying "I DID IT!" without a hint of how you did it, then say "I'll post how soon".
If he gave general steps, then someone could work with that. How hard would it be to type 3 or 4 more sentences? I'll believe it when I see it, which I'm not sure I will.
almost makes makes me want to download it to see for myself.
