The stock Samsung S3 messaging app it terrible, freezes up every time I try to send a text following the restoring of my 12K in text messages, while Go SMS Pro handles them fine. I really like Go SMS Pro but the system tray (launcher) icon is terribly ugly, I would like to switch it out with something similar to the stock messaging app and rename it Messaging. I realize you could download a launcher but I would like to keep it stock.
Also, is there any way to have Go SMS Pro handle the 'messaging' lock screen shortcut, which would direct you to Go SMS Pro versus the stock messaging app from the lock screes?
Any help would be sincerely appreciated!
Y do u have 12k messages,???? U ever thought about just running a back up of those and starting fresh? It's no wonder your phone freezes up.

Because I like 12k in messages, but that is besides the point. Go SMS handles them fine and so does the HTC EVO 4G LTE, meaning the Samsung stock messaging app is complete junk...So like I asked, can anyone help with a solution instead of providing pointless comments. Thanks for anyone who cares to actually help.

I think his comment asking you if u thought about backing them up its a reasonable response. Don't know why you want to keep 12k messages on your phone. That's ridiculous.

I did have a suggestion. Back them up. Phone will run a lot better. Wasn't trying to be a smart a$$ I was just saying i just don't see the point in storing 12k text on ur phone when u can back them up and still have access to them when u need them
To be honest, I don't think many apps are designed to hold that amount of messages and still perform at peak levels

That's def way too many text. You have to keep in mind that when there's more thing to read, the slower it gets. It's like putting thousands of JPGs in one folder on your PC, you'll notice the speed difference.

You can use the Play store app called Desktop Visualizer to change the icon to whatever you want. Not sure about the lockscreen issue. I use GoSMS Pro too and here's the icon i'm using for mine

I've been there, I've done that, and while I agree that the stock sms app is crap, 12k is way too many messages. (I was around 8.5k myself before cleaning)
I backed them up, deleted them all, and started fresh. It's just best that way.

Is there any way to get the unread count bubble on the messaging icon? I searched and did not find anything that resembles what I m looking for. I want to have a bubble popup when I have an unread sms email phone call etc. Also I would like to get reminders for unread msg's. I have searched and did not find anything.]

Is there any way to keep touchwiz and do this? I like touchwiz
No. The SMS and launcher replacements were made BECAUSE of the limitations the stock ones provide.
May I ask why you prefer the TouchWiz apps? If its just the theme, handcent/GO SMS can be themed to look pretty close. As for launchers I prefer LauncherPro, but with ADW you could easily make a TouchWiz style launcher (right down to the iPhone style app drawer), and still get the notifications you're looking for.
Adw launcher and adwnotify app are definitely the best options for you. You can set it to look exactly like touch wiz (you won't even know) it's a different launcher if you set it correctly.

SMS unread count is a cool widget. It is the gingerbread messaging icon and you can't tell the difference until It has the little red bubble that tells you that you have an unread message

No. The icon for the app can only be one .png. No animation or changing images of any kind. That's why its a widget. If this is something you want so badly, TouchWiz is not for you. It just isn't conducive to this kind of customization. As I said before all the above apps/widgets were made because you just can't do these kind of things with the stock launcher.

Maybe I should give ADW another try after all. Damn! lol
Haha I wasn't trying to sound harsh. But doing a mod like this to the Twiz launcher is a lot more extensive than you might realize, and may not be totally possible. The devs of these other apps have preemptively heard your cries, and produced multiple solutions for your problem.
is there any possibility to make sth like in sms unread... bo with my own icons? some different apps?

You leave the stock messaging alone, only thing that needs to be done is to turn off notifications in the stock messaging app.

If you had read through the menus in handcent's own options and read some on the developer's website, or read anything at all, ALL the 3rd party messaging apps tell you to ONLY turn off your stock notifications

a comment like that was unnecessary. I'm no novice or noob... It was just a simple question. I've always us non original messaging apps... My question was not HOW to use it or set it up... Its mainly to save space and remove duplicate messages from showing up in the original app along with the other.

You must be if you don't know by now that the way to avoid duplicate messages is to simply uncheck notifications... so you still haven't learned HOW to use AND set up even you STOCK messaging app, probably for LACK of reading

Hi Vinsane
Just ignore the likes of cdoxxx
Obviously this site has trolls that only respond to put others down. I agree with you. Her last response to you were not called for. I wish the moderators would begin alerting such snark-sharks when they respond in such a way.
Anyway, you should keep the original stock app intact. Most sms apps simply overlay the stock "engine" and basically "reformat" your sms messages in the manner the app you installed advertizes. I like sms classic whick reformats them into classic folder structures. But too few have downloaded it so far. Im waiting for more feedback on it before plunging.
Thanks for your post, I am glad im not the only one looking for a diff sms tool.

do you really get off belittling people? this is not the only post you've done this. Please refrain from the criticism.

Had the LTE for less than 24 hours and I really like it! I assumed the voice to text (like in the messaging or email applications) would be the same across the board with all ICS devices, but the voice to text feature is the same as basically any old Android phone I've had. The voice-to-text capability of the Galaxy Nexus is superior. I'm wondering if there will end up being any way to get it like this, or if you think there may be some future roms that will include this feature? Thanks!
Voice to text in this phone is the same engine as used in the galaxy nexus. the only thing different is the keyboard. In fact, I wrote this using voice to text.

What keyboard are you using? I noticed that if I switch to Swype, and click the mic button, the voice to text is more like the Gingerbread version. You can always select ICS Google voice to text from the notification bar though, even if you are not on the stock keyboard.

Oh you guys are life savers! I had swype activated and that is what I was talking about!!! Could you explain to me how to select the ICS google voice to text from the notification bar? I would like to keep the swype keyboard active, but use the ICS voice to text. Thanks so much!
When you click in any text box, you should notice a little keyboard option in the notification menu up to, to the right. Pull down the curtain and click on that, you'll get the option to choose google voice.
Tried to attach pic, but don't think the app is working with me.

I noticed when using it this way with a third party keyboard that the first time you pull down and switch to google voice dictation it works. then when you try to use it that way again you get a message that says audio problem...could be the Rom I'm on so let me know..I tried to use it this way with swift key.

Its an engine, it receives your speech, goes to google and processes quickly...if..you have a reliable connection..which it doesnt seem to be the case with your screen shot from what I see anyway..
Hope that helps
I'm on wifi this is not a connection issue. I can use the stock keyboard anytime through out the day and it works fine. If I switch to a 3rd party keyboard and use the pull down menu to quickly use voice dictation it will give an audio problem message right after using it once. It's not a connection issue, may be a Rom issue but I'm not sure yet until I get some people giving me their experiences.

Yes, but I do not use AT & T network (I'm from Russia). I think there is a way to fix it. The hidden menu or somewhere else, like Hotspot.

Ah, I'm sorry I didn't think of that.
I believe it relies on the sms app you use.
Try an alternative like handcent or gosms.
Or maybe you could get the app from another version of the phone, one of the Canadian or global variants.
Not sure if they would have the option, but they might.
I'm on the Canadian jellybean v.3 though

Delivery reports
Hi there,
The stock at&t messaging app is able to request delivery reports. Only, for some reason, this option gets lost sometimes, along with the notification led blinking for missed calls or sms. The solution that worked for me might help you as well, if you are rooted- If you have a system app. Remover or another app that makes it possible to get rid of system apps preinstalled in the phone. Each such application should have the option to back up every system app before uninstall. So, you backup your messaging app. - called lgmsg3.apk (or something like that I might not remember it precisely), then you uninstall it, reboot your device, and through the very same app. - system app remover, you hit restore app and choose the messaging application. It asks you whether it is a system app, you hit yes and here you go delivery reports (under settings, text messages) as well as led blinking for missed events are back!
Hi:
I just did what you said... no it does not work. The version of the software you use is 3.2.31??? The one I have is that and no... it does not work.
I appreciate your help on this if you have any new tip on this.
Thanks

My bad, yeah i do have that file :S
i mean my SMS/MMS work fine its just that its not recorded in the call log since I downloaded the AOSP messaging app which replaced the default S3 messaging app
Before downloading it, it worked fine
I didn't mean look to see if you have the database. I meant open the database and look to see if your messages are recorded within it
Edit, you're saying that the SMS from within the messaging app arent appearing in your phone application / Call log? The SMS show in the SMS app?

Sorry bare with me, im still sort of new to android rooting. That's correct so all the SMS's i send and receive do not show up in the Call Log e.g. if I sent a SMS to you, it would not be in my call log/history but the Messaging app is perfectly functional.
Did you mean this? Theres too lines cut off in the picture which are :
Words_segdir
words_segments
Ah ok. No it wouldn't appear in the call log. You need the Samsung messaging app. The CM messaging app cannot interact with the Samsung phone app in the same way, as it's not coded to, unlike the Samsung messaging app.
Although the database in the screenshot is now irrelevant (as I mixed up what you meant), it was the "SMS" row in that table you screenshotted I want to check. But it doesnt matter now.
Ah crap.
Sorry another question, is there anyway to get the stock messaging app back so the logs work again? e.g can i flash the app and it'll be back to normal
Just take it out of a rom
