SMS tone for each contact - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I read somewhere that ICS added the ability to assign a tone to am individual contact. Is this the case with SG3 or not? I couldn't figure it out and googling didn't seem to help (which means someone will post an easily found link).
I know there are apps like Go SMS and others that do this, but I wanted to know if I could do this within the ICS system. Thanks!

No one else interested in this? Is Ringo a good app to use if said feature is gone?

I'd like to know who to do this as well

Its not possible to use this feature as is not available stock, only by using a 3rd party mms app. Not even pure aosp ICS has this feature.

I don't think this is an ICS feature, but Handcent SMS can do this easily.

[Q] Miui messaging app?

Hey guys. I'm just wondering if I could get a hold of this .apk. and I was wondering would it work if its a replacement for my system app (messaging).

I believe it relies on the miui framework so you can't just take it out

It would be great if some dev made a sms app that looks exactly like Miui's, it's really nice looking
If i recall correctly, someone already is.. check around in the forums.

This is the thread you are looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461693
i cannot find the download link in the post, or in the market. And i apologize for not being specific, i would like the Miui messaging because of the popup feature when you get a text message. I realize that go sms can do that, but i hate the UI of go sms and other sms apps alike.
so it's impossible to have this app?
Moved as not software release.... [Q]
As already noted it's the MIUI framework it relys on.
The link posted is [WIP] Work in progress he's a dev with many projects and not enough time "as most are" it's the best we'll get on release to MIUI messaging.

Phone sending double messages since ICS Update

Just updated my 9100 to ICS through Kies. Phone is ALL stock. Now all of a sudden all texts are being sent as doubles. Any ideas? I'm using Go SMS Pro for messaging.
It's been reported in all of the ICS threads so far. Search for more info

Same for me using handcent, it seems this happens with 3rd party sms apps, not sure why though.
Not sure if this is ICS related or if our apps have incompatibilities with ICS or this particular ICS rom.

Phone is ALL stock huh? Go SMS Pro is a stock Samsung app? Are you getting double texts in the stock SMS app?
have you updated your gosms?, they have this issue with ics, use stock message app for now
have same problem too, it looks like its something worng with all sms apps , other than stock. IF you try any any app that gives you quick reply, it sends 2 sms, some sends more and gets stuck =\ this sucks
Yeah I am having the same problems with my Sgs2. Using Go SMS pro...
Guess i have to stick to whatsapp instead
+1 Same here! GoSMS Pro on my stock SG S2 sends double!
Same for me...
with all third part apps...
freeze Stock Messaging app..or Uninstall it
Im On ICS>..i just Froze the stock messaging app and i guess that was it..hope this helps..
bug
named xxlpq rom and any other custom roms based on lpq have this bug when using 3rd party app for messaging one send by app another send by system. so this bug remains till an update by samsung or devs find a solution.
I have the same problem, but i cant freeze or disable stock messaging app, or even start it for that matter, cuz it aint there.. there is something called messaging and i have that frozen to be sure that only gosms was active, and now i cant defrost it... *sigh*
Am I the only one who had this duplicate sms problem with the stock app as well?

Group message with iphone users?

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows of a mod that allows android users to group text with iphone users using default htc messaging app. Currently, I get a seperate text from people who are in my group text, it gets a little annoying.
I'm tried using go sms....but doesn't state if you have any unread messages unless you have a widget. Also, it requires data to always be active.
If all else fails...I could stick it out with go sms...
I'm hoping Google adds this feature to future Android builds.

What you want is Threaded Group SMS. Yeah it'd be cool.
We could always request such a thing from HTC & on a slimmer chance, Google.

try the Groupme app in the play store. works great and there's even a SMS option if you dont want to use the app.

[Request] Modified AOSP contact app

I have been searching for the past week or so, to no avail, for the AOSP contact app, and possibly phone app also, that is modified to read phone only contacts instead of your Google contacts.
Is there one out there already for 4.2 or is there a way to enable this on my current contact app? I'm going to look with SQLite Editor in a bit to see if there is a modification I can make that will allow it, but if you know how to enable it, know how to edit it in somehow (I don't mind doing it myself), or anything that would be of help please please please post it.
I know I can use a third party so to do this but I would rather not if I can avoid it.
P.S. I'm running VRB 6-12 in case that info helps.

So I'm pretty much an idiot, I tried finding out how to make the contacts app just sync my VCF card...... Anyway my issue was that even though I told Google not to sync ANYTHING it was still syncing contacts, I wiped the, all out and turned everything to do with sync off and imported ,y contacts and everything works!
Sorry for being a schmuck, I'm having a off week.

Go SMS Pro....Gone Bad

I've been using Go Sms Pro since it first ce to Android. It was hands-down the best sms replacement in my opinion. The last two updates however have changed my opinion about it. They started pushing Ads like those annoying scam apps. The last one in particular made me uninstall it. It now places Ads on the bottom of the screen. I'm done with them.
Is there any app besides Handcent, Chomp, Texter that is a good pop up sms replacement. There are many apps on the market aand I've personally come across some awesome apps that wasn't on the top of the list of best apps. So is anyone has some suggestions on apps they use or come across, I'd appreciate it.

Mysms. If the person you're texting also got it installed then the text will be send over cellular data, else it'll be send as normal sms over your carrier.
I'll look those up.

Handcent sms here, because it has greek sms mode(it removes special characters), any other app that have the same feature?

Np man, it can also be used as a standalone app without the use of the stock messaging app.

you can simply use ad blocker
it is not in play store as it is blocked by google https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
it is the same one you uses with Mozilla and llinux
