I'm not technically inclined to develop a xposed module, but was using the 8sms app. I loved it since it mixes stock sms with cyanogenmod, but doesn't display FB contact pictures , only googles or contacts on your phone who you've added a picture for. Is there any way a xposed module could be developed to enable 8sms to pull contact pictures from fb? Not necessarily a request as far as throwing it out there and gauging community feedback (although, yeah, this would free many of us from samsungs sms app and make 8sms more appealing). What do you think? Is this possible to do?
I should probably add I'm on android 4.2.2, stock Galaxy s4 for t-mobile and rooted. And yes, I'd flash cyanogenmod but I do need t-mobiles wifi calling do to zero coverage at home.
Any suggestions, comments, feedback, knowledge welcomed.

I should also add that the reason for 8sms is the sms popup feature and dashclock widget integration. I'm using glowfly right now, which is great, but looking for a all in one package.

There are a lot of sms schedule apps, but I mostly use Facebook Messenger app to contact friends and family as they receive them directly to their mobile device.
I know there are services which allow scheduled Facebook status updates, but I'm looking for an app that allows you to schedule Facebook Messages.
Thanks

Probably something like Tasker would be your best bet to get exactly what you want. But I don't know much on the subject

Is there an alternative mail app that compares to the iphone mail client. The current mail app is not up to par for my needs and I do not not like the user interface

I prefer k9 mail. The user interface takes some getting used to, it's not that intuitive but it gives me a customizable unified in box and works well once you figure out how to navigate through it.

Describe some of your needs or maybe something you'd prefer in the interface. Maybe someone can go off that.
I agree with KingWp1 put some criteria down. I personally think the iPhone email app is weak and leaves a lot to be desired in a mobile mail app.

I've used k9 for a long time, but upgraded to kaiten when I got my Nexus 7 because I wanted dual panes. It's basically the tablet version of k9, but has some extra features and still works good on the phone.

Well really the ios mail app suited my needs completely, I don't really know how to explain it. I like how I don't have to resize the message on iOS that's my main delema

As mentioned, a little bit more info of your requirements would be helpful in suggesting a specific app. I personally did not like the stock Mail app that came with the S3. The problem I found was that if I read an email from my Outlook on my PC, the notification would not go away on my phone. I had a Galaxy Nexus before this and the mail app there would clear the notification, without me having to clear it, if I read the email from Outlook. I ended up removing my current mail + exchange app and replacing it with the stock ICS mail app:

Some good news, Google acquired Sparrow. It is the best mobile mail client I have ever used, looking forward to it coming to Android.
I just started using MailDroid free myself. The pro version is expensive, but I'll see what I thing after I've been using it a while.

Checkout Enhanced Email from the Market. Excellent support Daniel does an awesome job.
I use touchdown, but set my email up as a hosted exchange server

I need exchange support so I use touchdown, works great and worth the coin

I create unique return address for everyone I send emails to, K9 is the only app I could find that allows change the return address. Only because of that feature I'm stuck with K9, although don't like how difficult and not intuitive the interface is.
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.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
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.
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.

I personally prefer 8sms, it's like stock with dark theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398767
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.

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
Hi all,
I noticed that the native messaging app does not support actual group texting. I dislike using hangouts, but it seems it is the only way to actually send a group mms, and continue responding in the same thread. Are there any tweaks, mods, or simply settings that I am missing that could help me out? May not be necessary, but better safe to mention that I am on the latest MeanBean and the kernel attached to it, with S-ON and hboot 1.15
Thanks in advance!

I don't believe you can with the stock messaging app. I use Textra from the play store and it does group messaging and it's free. Customizable as well.
