If it is possible [any apps?] to segregate SMS like Send,Inbox,drafts etc?
Now the threaded type of froyo is grouping all sms to one place..?

lol @ segregate..
its not in the messaging app. try searching sms messaging in the android store for alternatives..
You can try using Go SMS. With the help of gesture and tabs you can switch between threaded and label views
yeah right, for your convenience here you go m8.
And here is a segregated screenie...

Well, as said above - GO SMS.
(If you mean how did I get the screenshot, then - Droid Explorer -> Tools -> Screen Shot on Windows)

Will check GO SMS on the market right now.
Cool, thanks for the both tips. Will add "thanks" when I get to my PC. Cheers!

Before I pull the trigger and buy one of these, I'd like your thoughts on which is better, or simply why you like the app you're using now.
Thanks!

Ah you're right, I dont know why I was sure they werent. I will test them out!
Imho go sms is better u can try both and its free
I prefer Go even though both are great sms apps and they are free too.
My fav is Handcent for Black list management, notification and long sms sending options. But both are free ;-)
I like GO SMS because i can back up my SMSes and it doesnt require a paid account for you to do so. The only thing you need to pay for are the custom themes which you can live without.
Yep I settled on Go SMS, it has the better interface imo. Thanks.
My vote also goes to GO SMS
GO SMS here too. My ONLY wishes is that there was a decent theme for my SII AND that the new text popup didn't appear on the lock screen ...
I used to use Handcent quite some time ago but found out that it was causing some problems with people receiving my messages and pictures. In addition, it started hanging and would generally slow down. Lastly I was told that it does not necessarily play nice with some other applications, namely LightFlow.
When I eventually put Eclipse on my DX2, I simply did not re-download Handcent and was just using the stock SMS until today, using CM7 and still, the stock SMS.
What does everyone else use, are there any decent alternatives to the stock SMS and if so, what makes it a better alternative?
All I've ever used is handcent, seems to be working nice for me, never used liteflow though.

I'm a huge fan of chompSMS. I've tried Handcent and GoSMS, but I always end up coming back to chomp. The only thing I wish they would add is the ability to multi-select message threads to delete, instead of having to do it one by one or deleting them all at once. I emailed them and suggested that and they responded that it was planned for an upcoming update, so maybe I'll get my wish.
I use GOsms. Works great for me.

I have used Metro Messaging Beta for a while. It was when I was going through my WP7 phase. lol. I actually liked it though. It didnt have any cool features (it was actually very limited) but with how simple it was, it was nice to use. I have recently just gone back to the stock sms app though. I also use SMS Popup so when I get a message, I dont even have to open the sms app.
I too, use GOsms. I like the customization and different themes it offers.
Just make sure to manually go into stock notifications and disable. Other wise you will get multi notifications at some point. It will ask you at setup to disable, but for some reason you will still have to manual disable through stock app.
You could always give it a go!

+ 1, exactly what I was going to say. Love the customization.

I like the customization of Handcent better, can change a lot of things for individual contacts in handcent.
I just delete the SMS/mms apk in every ROM and put handcent in system/app

Ciao!
GoSMS here BUT the MMS sending on it is whack. I have it set up for 1.2 MB and preserve image resolution yet when I send a pic it'll degrade the picture image. This is for pics under 1.2MBs...
Any one use a different phone/call app besides the stock one?

GO SMS is what I use, I like how it pops up a window without you having to swipe notifications, and the overall customizability of it. As Elite49 said, you cant go over 1.2mb in size but it just let it shrink my photos to fit and it works just fine. Be sure to get all the plug in for it too, there are tons of themes and emotocons etc...

Does yours degrade the pics when their not over 1.2MB? I find it extremely annoying seeing a pic thats under that somehow look like crap when I go to send it.
Another vote for GO SMS here!

touchpal contacts. for answer to above q. and go sms is by far the best sms app out there
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using XDA
Never had a reason to try anything but Gosms, it works, and you can make it look however you want. all i plan to ever use atm
So I have gone through go SMS. Handcent. chomp. The original messaging app. I like messanger 7. But I couldn't figure out how to send pics. I know u can get a theme to make go SMS pro look like it but. It's not as good. Is there something I could look at that could help me out? Thanks

The apps you listed are pretty much the most known and most used SMS apps. You might just be stuck with those. You can try an app called Pansi SMS. It's supposed to be very fast and light. But unfortunately that's about it in terms of SMS.
I tried most of the SMS apps available and settled on GO SMS. It has a ton tweaks and settings you can play with to make it your liking.
i see...................
,,,,,,,,,,,,,, go sms or iphone styled sms or messenger app sms or xms pro use one of these ................... if u r not comfortable with it try differnt launcher like 360 or adw they have in built sms app or exlauncher /go launcher

I gave Pansi a try and it was pretty lightweight and fast, but I remember switching back to stock for some reason. I think I had MMS problems with it before or something, can't really remember. But I hope it works good for you.

Stock SMS has always done that. Are you sure you are going to the messaging app and not contacts app? I can assure you what you want is a stock feature on Liquid and all CM/AOSP roms. If not factory reset and reinstall...or wait for slim to come out later today.

If i'm texting my iphone friends in group text i can send one singke text. If i try to send a second without exiting the program then it sends a blank text to them all. I also have alot of texts that take forever to send. Stock messaging app is great for single texts to an iphone user or if i want to send four of the same text to my friend individually.
