What is the best SMS app other then the built in one.
The majority of apps I have found have extra useless features or are not smooth.
I am on android 2.3 Atrix 4G I could upgrade to 4.1 but I'd rather not.
Let me know what you use.

I use stock app.
Since you ask for a light one, there is an app called "FREE SMS SENDER" in play store. It can be used to send sms via Internet or the default carrier messaging thing.

Yah. The go sms is filled with crap stuff. Even I used it once, it's completely messed up.
So I switched back to stock.
But I'm using the message app from CM10. That's cool with quick reply and call back thing.

Right, I just don't want to go to CM10 until it becomes more stable. I used it for months but CM7 is much more stable.
I'm using Messaging 7 which is light but still not ideal.

I'm running Trigger 2.7.2 with Dragon v5. I found the greatness of handcent sms and love it. Is there a way to safely remove the moms loaded on the phone and only use handcent. I think I would need an apk file for it...right? Any feedback wouldbe great!!

I don't know of I would completely remove it. You could go into the stock mms and change the settings to not show up in the notification bar and the sound to silent. Then set up handcent the way you like it. That way if handcent ever acts kinda screwy you can go back to the stock mms.
Trigger + CWK = Awesomeness
Yea you can delete it by gettin SystemApp Remover.....youu need root

Look for it in google or w.e.
Butt be careful deleting another app because rom could stop working or else

Thanks!! I will leave it for now and just have handsent as my default. Maybe when I have more experience i'll try removing it. Thanks again

Is there a way to port it to the fascinate I hate the Sammy one and handcent is to slow and don't care for the rest
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
idk about porting but you should try GO SMS, it is way better than handcent. The pro version is free.

Pretty sure the Motorola texting app is tied to the MotoBlur framework, so unless you port MotoBlur, you can't get the app.

Go SMS has a weak pop-up and uses alot of memory

Damn I wish I knew how to port

Porting oem skins is not always possible...see all the sense projects
First off im a complete HTC nood, never used sense before, and never had to use an SMS app because every other phone I owned had a pretty decent messengin app preloaded... Not so much the case here huh?? Does anyone know how to turn the stock SMS off without rooting? Is there a way? I'm trying to use handcent or how ever you spell it and I'd like to only have that app notify me when I get a text...
TIA

I was about to install it, but the app seems to have horrible reviews.
Been using Google Voice for awhile with no problems. Haven't been able to send or receive pictures though.

Gv is great ...it is only SMS not mms. But when set up proper...media will Goto ur gmail accnt. Its a great alt if u don't have messaging but data on ur plan. Might also look at handcent messenger....uses its own servers...so should only be data. U can pay for more features if needed. Other then that basic is free

Google voice isn't too bad so far. Long as I don't get charged for anything, I'll stick with this. Thanks for the suggestion.

I use gosms and for some reason the stock app notify me more times then the gosms.... I was going to try and delete it but I don't know how embedded it is in the system and I don't want to break something.

Don't delete it you'll ruin you're sms capabilities just shut off its notification

I would used Titanium Backup to freeze it and test whatever sms client you are using instead. I use Google Voice for everything and have had my messaging frozen (disabled) and everything works.

I use Handcent and have uninstalled (with TiBU) the stock messaging account on just about every ROM I've flashed on all 3 of my EVO's (4G, View, and LTE) with never an issue.
