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.

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.

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.
Hello,
i was wondering if there was a mod/tweak out there that would let me put group chat on the default messaging app. I know about go sms and handscent sms, but each has its own problem. I have a Verizon GS3 and was hoping there was a way to do this.
You can add multiple names while creating a new sms. But they will receive your text as a normal p2p text. ie. If you add X,& Y as recipients in your group text, what ever you send will be received by X, Y and what ever text sent by X, Y will be received by you but X can't see what Y sent to you and vice versa. A better group chat alternative is whatsapp!

Your in luck! Verizon makes a very good app (I know I said good and Verizon in the same sentence) but really, the Verizon messaging app is as close to perfect you're going to get for group texting.
If your into Cyanogen Mod... CM 10.1 (android 4.2 base) finally has group texting built in. This also works real well.

Really?! I had no idea android 4.2 had this build in. I was gonna flash a nightly today to see how stable it is.

Hi,
I saw in the dev forum that the Camera, clock and keyboard from 4.2 have been pulled over and can be installed on the DNA. I was wondering if its feasible (even possible) to do the same for the messaging app. One of the big features of 4.2 (in my mind, having many iPhone friends) is the group chat threading baked into stock message app.
I realize there are 3rd party apps (Go SMS and Handcent) and that I can use them, I just think it would be nice to have that feature with the "stock" message app (stock from 4.2 in this case).
Thanks!
oh, my first post too (just got DNA today)
Doesn't threaded group chat work on the stock HTC app...

no, because the HTC sense lovers don't want it.

Than what's this. I have one going with my mom and dad and I. My dad had a nexus and my mom has an iPhone and we can all see eachothers messages.

I get threaded group chat on stock? if we are talking about the same thing.
Anyways, have you tried the AOSP apk? it might just work?
The stock HTC messaging app 100% has group messaging like the iPhone. I use it every day for group projects in school.
Does the 4.2 messaging app even have native group messaging?
Also, the stock HTC messaging app kind of blows beyond this. It's beautiful, but its redraws are the most annoying thing about this phone. There is no reason that a quad core, 2GB RAM phone should have redraws in a simple messaging application.

I agree. The redraws drive me nuts and I always try other messaging apps but end up back on the stock HTC one.
The stock messaging app does have group messaging. I would rather have the stock Android messaging app though. I'm just not crazy about the htc one. It would be awesome if we could get a stock one that works really good with mms too.
The Update date ? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Every time I send a group message, it comes out as Anonymous. Also if I send a message to a different group it would still be under the Anonymous thread. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
I'm guessing you are using an international base rom. There is no fix, and I just recommend switching SMS if you need it that bad, like gosms

I use other apps for group messaging.
if you use fb a lot you can just integrate your sms into the app.
It really depends, but I think most people now use a few SMS apps... but it changes so frequently depending on the app popularity.

Sliding Messaging is a nice replacement and the Dev seems very very dedicated to updating and upgrading it.

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.
