Any good SMS replacement without ads? I tried Handcent and Chompsms but both have ads and no free-ads version.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Install Adfree to block adds and you are done.
Personaly I use Handcent. Has a lot conf options.
I use handcent too and didnt see any ads.
I like Handcent too, I think there's only adverts when yo go into the settings menu?
It would be nice to hear of some alternatives though..
4 or 3mb for a sms program I think is to much. I don't care themes and so on, I just want to download the mms' pictures, videos and the ability of send message to multi recipients...
I think I will develop my own sms program...

I fully agre with you. I use Chomp SMS. Its a 5+Mb file consuming about 7-8mb space on installation. Previously I used Handcent which is a bit lower in size- but after upgrade to 2.1 it force closes every time i try to save /add any unknown number (from which an SMS was recd) to my Contacts.
Anyway, will wait for your lightweight SMS/MMS app.

I was started to develop for android devices 2 days ago . The application can send and receive SMS, now I am trying to "call" the contact list to multiple recipes... After that I will start with the MMS support. Once I get this I will release the first beta version.
I am pretty slow coding in java because I have learned it last week, I am a c/c++ developer and I used to hate java

Good news pretty soon. Waiting for your beta release. Meantime I found a lightweight free SMS app (500+kb) in the market. Can have a look if you want. Its called "SMS Composer". The main thing which I liked about it is its Non-threaded conventional type. Messages ordered individually as per date & timewhen they were recd. Its buggy though. Its laggy. Senders' names are not shown in a few SMS from known saved contact numbers. Unknown numbers (from which SMS recd) can't be saved in contact - there is no such option in context menu.
So does everyone else have the same issue with the 200 message max limit?
Anyone know how to bypass it?

going into text messaging app settings and you can change the limit. I changed to 1000.
Problem is I have over 1k text from certain contacts... and I'd prefer not to delete any
What could you possibly need to maintain that many messages for? Anyway, there are apps that will back them up for you.
My desire, and sapphire are both capable of keeping unlimited text... if atrix cant, thats just unfortunate...
Old trouble, no answer
As we all know, SMS will convert to MMS all the time when we have a long sms ( more than 3 sms )at most of stock HTC or samsung messager. Although that, some device have [Mod] to fix like samsung galaxy s. I have try at my old galaxy s and I can sent whatever long sms as I like without being force convert mms. How about evo 3d? This is old problem, but I still can not have solution for evo 3d
Is there anyone can help ?

I don't think anybody really understands your question as it doesn't make any sense to me. IMHO
Oh, sorry. Because I see some of the question like it in other forum so I think every body know it mean. I will fix my first post to make it more clear. Thank

As far as I know no one has really asked this question before. I don't think there is a fix for the 3 page convert to MMS "problem." Is there a legitimate reason why you'd prefer 4+ pages of sms over 1 MMS message?

Yes all "stock sms apps" when creating sms & it exceeds 3pages it will convert it into mms (most peopleget charged for sending mms)
Darky Rom had a fix/tweak which allowed longer sms text without it being converted to mms..
I am after that tweak/fix !!!
PLEASE HELP
In my country, lot of people use stupid phone, and they can not receive MMS . I usually sent a long SMS because of my job. I am now use handcent SMS but I prefer the stock more .

Just use BigSMS, Go SMS Pro or Handcent SMS. All of those are free. Stock messaging app on some phones doesn't have a feature that you need.

Some mobile carriers offer free sms and costly mms. Legitimate enough?

very simple fix change your mms the one i use under setting you put a check where it says split sms so when you type a long txt it convert it and it gets to the other person in 2 or 3 txt.
copy it to your sd-card use root explorer or which ever one you use or sdk move it to system/app then click on permissions make the correct settings reboot the phone once rebooted find it click on it then setting and you will see where it says split sms. i uploaded a copy if needed.
Am I missing something here?
I've actually never heard of it being converted over to MMS.
My phone will send an 8 page message as SMSs..
And I get them counted as 8 SMSs on the bill..

well let me try usually sms has a split of 160 character so when you go over the 160 it treats it as a mms character but it gets sent as a txt but in 2 parts or depending how long the txt is
It differs user to user (and service provider restrictions)..stock app for some will convert SMS into MMS after character limit is reached..
Only some users will have stock messaging app settings as unlimited characters..
(use Handcent messaging app or better still custom roms)

Not sure if this helps but I had similar problem way back when I was running NonSense ROM the fix is you have to flash HTCMessageProvider.apk.
PM me if you need the file ...also I am under the assumption of you using a custom ROM.

I'm on the stock 407 with my dell streak. Basically when on the stock messaging app, when a text message exceeds 160 characters it is converted to MMS. I have been using third party apps but I really prefer the default. My streak is rooted, and I was wondering if anyone knew a way to stop my text messages being converted to mms?
search in the setting that called as SMS Split or something similar...
sms split will auto split any message above 160 character... and therefore avoiding sms to mms conversion..

open your messaging application and then press the streak hardware middle button... it should show Settings or something similar...

As I stated above, that setting does not appear and if you actually read the post you'd know I'm using the default messaging app.
I was referring to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423340 that someone suggested.
It tells you to change some system files, I've tried ES file explorer but it only lets me access my SD card.
ok... sorry for the trouble...

SMS issue
I have a Streakk 5 running Stock 360, rooted with a few tweaks and I have no problems sending long txt's or pics. I have tried multiple Gingerbread rom's and I have foung the split SMS option in some, but all of them require me to have my data on to send or recieve pics. I have a limited data package and was hoping someone knows of how to change settings or of an app that will allow me to send and recieve pics without data on.

Hello.
This is my issue : I was on 4.1.2 with more than 50 000 sms (from 2009 to today, i'm nostalgic ) .
My phone was very slow, so I decided to update it on 4.3 (maybe it will not be slow anymore ?!), but it's worse : my "message" app crash 1/2...
First, is there a solution to keep my 50 000 on my phone without the fact that my SGS III is slow ?
If it's not possible, how to keep only 500 (for exemple, could be 200 etc) per contact ? Because i'm gonna have maybe 2000/3000 sms, and my phone will not be slow anymore.
How to do that ? Because with SMS backup and restore for exemple we could choose a date and just restore sms before the date, but I don't want that, I want to keep for exemple 500 sms for each contact.
Thanks in advance,
Hugo.

Yes i put the 500 limit messages, but as I restored them with Sms Backup & Restore, they are not deleted even they are much than 500.
For exemple, I still have more than 9000 messages with my favorite contact... Howw to "force" the delete ?

Yes I have backups, but why deleting all threads and restore all of them would resolved the issue ?
I mean if the app wont chop down your messages then the only option I see from here (I maybe wrong but the route I have taken) is to delete all messages then the 500 limit should stick as your messages repopulate as you use it.
