Just flashed CMX and have been using the stock SMS.

One of the things I wish the stock app had was a quick reply option. I tried an app from the play store to give quick sms but it doesn't clear out notification updates within the stock app itself. Hence, considering something else.

Handcent. Needed it for two things, quick reply and a text messaging app with a black background. I refuse to use any app that has a white background. Ugly and very very hard to read, especially in the dark! Hard on the eyes.

I've been using chomp. Seems faster than handcent.

This is a no brainer GOSMSPRO! Quick reply, highly customizable, themes, hand drawing, etc. I was a former Handcent user.

Stock on CM10. With the quick message feature, it works just like any of the heavier, more bloated apps but I don't have to worry about privacy or battery drains.

I used to use Handcent on my EVO 4G, but the new stock app seems to have all the functionality I want.

Im a Handcent user, I like the level of customization available to you

Stock here for me.

I use Go SMS Pro but basically only for the theme support. I also develop themes. Search ER Designs on the market.

There is an app in the play store called SMS Popup that adds a quick reply to the stock sms app.

Smart Actions App

Found the APK. Seems small for an app and does not install. I havent tried to push it with adb. Anyone wanna try and get this to work on the Bionic?
I'm also interested in this also. I will try a few things on my side. OP I will report back.

When I went to install this on the DX2 using droid explorer, I saw it required 2.3.5 Android. Bout to upgrade to that one and see what happens

Didn't work on 2.3.5 leak for the DX2. I'll have to try to install it again using Droid Explorer to get the permissions list again
Didnt work on stock rooted 2.3.5 either. I permission is important info we will need. Im going try it on a WIP PORT ROM of Droid X.

I doubt it will work on anything except the Razr... MAYBE the Bionic
Doesn't work on rooted bionic either, confirmed.
There is probably some other files needed other than just the apk.
probably because it needs more than just the apk to work, Ill look through my razr and see if there is anything you need
Would love to get this app on my Galaxy Nexus when I get one!
Anyone currently working to port this app still?
Honestly... i have the razr and obviously it came with smart actions.... if you are really wanting to make your phone a Smart Phone... get Tasker.... way more sophisticated and a thousand times more customizable than smart actions... although it will take a bit to get use to.... but the sky and your imagination is the limit to what you can do with tasker.... Good luck
Smart Actions likely has libraries associated with it. if not also integrated with framework
Smart Action App Bug
I use smart action app to change my wallpaper when i go home, and everytime I revert to my original wallpaper, it is degraded. Each time it gets worse. Not sure if this happens with launchers other than Go Launcher. I'll post 3 screen shots. Original Wallpaper, one after 5 smart action app changes, and one after 10 smart action app changes. File size also jumps significantly.

[Q] ICS app folder organizer?

Is there any app out there similar to the ICS app folder on the Nexus? I like how you can group everything and how it shows several icons at once. Anything similar to that in the Market?

Different launchers give you this ability. I know Go Launcher Ex has this ability, and it's free.

I came from ICS with the Galaxy Nexus, the functionality is almost identical. Worth the 1.99 IMO.
I really liked the ics keyboard on the Nexus and the speech to text function with it. It was extremely fast and you could continue talking without having to stop and pressing enter all the time. What's the closest keyboard in the market that I could use to mimic the ics keyboard? Also is there a way to get that speech to text ics functionality on the Rezound?

I had the exact same question...
Thank God for forums (and the dudes that invented it). I had the same exact question after reverting back to GB from ICS and didn't realize how much I missed that feature again until recently (I also was an iPhone user for a few years ). I'm surprised HTC's folder "widget" is so limited..
There were good suggestions here, but ultimately seems like Folder Organizer is the best app for this particular job for me. Has more settings and options than I was looking for, but the main function works well and it's very fast, unlike other apps like SiMi.
Thanks to all those that posted their recommendations.

[Q] Phone not showing up in launcher?

Okay so I recently just flashed Ineffabilis-Deus v1.02 and am loving it. I had the phone icon in my dock and accidentally deleted it. I then went in to the app drawer to put it back on my home screen and could not find it. When I search it in google search, it comes up and I can launch it, but it just doesn't show up in my app drawer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Here are some screens:

On stock there are some hidden apps and I used the app Any Cut to make shortcuts for them. Perhaps you can use that.
Those hidden apps were visible in ADW Launcher though, so if you have another launcher installed try that first.

Thanks! I have the stock ICS launcher and Nova Laucher and the Phone.apk shows up in their app drawers, but not Sense's, which is really weird.

I'm pretty sure they hide it because on a stock phone they have the phone tab on the home screen already. Just an idea.

We're talking about the phone app, not the one you admire yourself in constantly.
Actually, in stock it is hidden as well. I had made a shortcut before getting a custom ROM so I could check my face for chocolate and blueberries since my coworkers won't say anything.

With the new Sprint Voicemail, if you accidentally delete the voicemail, you can recover it. By default it's not removed from the phone permanently for 30 days, which you can shorten the timeframe.

Stock SMS app on Stock evolte

obviously there are some issues with the sense sms app (no group messaging, lagging, etc)
is there a way to add the stock android (probably needs to be modded) sms app to work on a stock evo lte?
I searched both the forum and 'the web' and I didn't see anything specific to non rooted phones (as I dont want to get into system level R/W stuff.

thank you. This loads, but doesn't seem to have many features. I hope the real AOSP sms app has more bells and whistles (and more choices for layout/theming)
GO SMS Pro is popular if you like bells and whistles
