quick reply sms/ sms clients dont work - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

So i want a quick reply feature for SMS. I'm aware there is already a lot of threads on this. Its just that I cant get any of them to work. I'm rooted and still running TW, I have Xposed installed, but I think the problem might be that I deleted the stock messaging app because I hated it so much and was happy with Hangouts. I ran into some bootloop troubles and did a factory reset via safestrap and after that my stock app magically reappeared. Before this trouble I was using floating texts and it worked great, now any SMS client I try either gives me a force close or simply doesn't send or receive messages. I've tried 10 plus messaging apps and none but hangouts and stock work.
Thanks!

Messages APP keeps Force Closing!!

Whenever I receive a text, it FC's. Also, some of the messages arent even received. Not to mention, within the app It says messages are unread even though they have been. Ive updated everything. Device is not rooted, so I cant use Rom Manager to fix permissions. How can I resolve this?

Factory Reset is your best bet, then update your phone if you want and root that thing!
All is well. I deleted all of the text, and everything is fine now. Thanks.

Not receiving Facebook Messages notifications

Now that I was alredy back to bone stock (thanks to my genius failure to read and flashing me7 instead of mdk), I decided to update to MI1 but now I no longer receive push notifications for facebook messages/chats. All the other types of notifications from all apps work except for Facebook messages. I tried deleting the app and even doing a factory reset and I still don't receive message notifications. I have pretty much combed through all the settings on the app and was wondering if anyone could help me. Thanks!

[Q] messaging app laggy after update and restore

Hello hello,
I updated my Note 3 on ATT via the OTA update to 4.4.2. I did the factory data reset. I restored my sms via the SMS backup and restore app. All the messages are here but the app seems to be working slow and laggy. The SMS Backup+ did not really work. What are my other options?
Thanks!
How many text messages did you restore? Did you test before and after you restored the messages? But seems like you have a couple choices, 1 - try it without restoring the messages. If you have 1000s, that could be why. 2 - try a 3rd party SMS app and see if the problem exists there or just stock.
Thanks for the response. SMS backup+ says I have 14000 items. The app works great before the backup.
I am a little disappointed with Android right now. iTunes was restoring everything to exactly where I left off. I surprised Android does not have a working sms restore function. Kies does not even offer it. How about manually copying the sms database file that I saved.
I guess I still have to try a 3rd party app but I prefer the stock one.
Cheers.

That amount of text messages will make many things lag (and take FOREVER to restore). But there are quite a few different ways to back up and restore texts so I guess Android doesn't think it's necessary to include it? I backup and restore texts all the time as I am a serial flasher and never have issues like that, but I also don't have any reason to keep 1000s of texts messages on my phone.

[Q] Restoring Deleted Texts

Hi All,
I'm new here, clearly. I did a fair amount of searching (albeit I may have overlooked the one thread to answer my question), but I need some help. I'm not familiar with the dev side of phones, nor am I very educated by any means.
I recently somehow deleted all of my texts on my vwz galaxy s4 32gb blackmist. I can see that when I open a contact and view the history - the text messages still exist there. I tried the Dr. Fone app by wondershare (and paid for it). Didn't work. I just rooted my phone to see if that would help, and while successful in the rooting, still have found that I can not revive my dead texts.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
Much thanks,
Matt
I too have deleted text messages from my phone when clean flashing ROMs. To restore, download the Verizon Messaging app from the Play Store. Set is as your default messaging app, and refresh the messages. Then open your regular messaging app and it should update with the old text messages.
After this you can uninstall the Verizon app. I use Hangouts for text messaging and for me it's a 3 step process: run Verzion meesaging, then load the standard Messaging apk, and then finally run Hangouts.
Good Luck!

Thanks so much for the advice; I did download the vzw messaging app and set it as default. I don't see a "refresh" for this app - but have toyed around and think I've tried everything to no avail.
I'm trying my best here to not sound like an idiot - but I'm not sure how to 'refresh.' I still do see quite a bit of messages in the history of each contact.
Do i need to go into settings to make default app or simply just set it when it asks?
Any more advice?
Thanks again.
That app seems to imply that it only lets you restore messages that have been synced with Verizon in the last 90 days. That makes more sense. I didn't think they kept a user-accessible log of all SMS messages (could be wrong).

[Q] App to remove from Group Chat

Hello, I am looking for an app that can actually remove me from a group message so that I do not receive tons of useless texts that end up using my data. Currently I use Google's Messenger as my main texting app, as we all know the stock one is terrible. This app works great and I love it, however when I get flooded with MMS it does not seem to know how to react and then refuses to send any SMS. Now I am also up to download another texting app if someone knows one that handles MMS better, I have tried Textra in the past however I kept recieving a notification that said something about my MMS APN but I never touched anything in Textra's settings to break that because it did work for a while. I am open to other options if someone has any ideas. Thanks
Handcent it's pretty reliable but has ads. I like hoverchat as well.
