I'm all about customizing my phone with random little apps. This one I found last night is called "Hello", and it is a very simple yet extremely elegant sms app. Everything is sorted in to tabs, and the coolest feature I've found so far is when you click on a picture that was sent to you through texts, it pulls up all the other pictures in that particular thread so you can quickly save them all instead of doing it one by one.
Just thought I would let you guys in on this little gem I found! Hope you guys give it shot!
Hi Anthony,
Thanks for the heads up, that is a nice app!

I was using Hangouts before, but this looks cleaner. I'm gonna try it for a while. Thanks for the heads up.
If you like this you should check out EvolveSMS. Some of the same type stuff and you can download themes for it. I'm been using it for a while now and I love it.

Hello is really nice but on every device i have it seems to stutter eveytime i open it. If you turn on the beta access , you can send these little gifs cut out in a speech bubble. Pretty cool haha. I got all my android friends use it now, i just wish it would launch faster

No problem! My all doesn't seem to stutter when I launch it.... I wonder why yours does.
I think the biggest thing I like about this app is the fact that you can't bog it down with themes. Just personal preference though lol.
Thank you for telling us about the app

my message+ app got sent to the freezer for conspiracy to slow my phone with all my other big red apps. They are now serving a 2year+ sentence with a $360 fine if they return earlier.
I like Hello, but it would send pictures as links to recipients instead of the actual pictures. I found that several people wouldn't open them. I is probably better to send them as links that people can click on and then view them, because they would come out in higher quality. But if people don't click on them, it defeats the purpose. I also didn't like how it put an advertisement for their app on each picture it sent links for.

Haha. I don't keep message + on the phone...but will install it and backup when swapping Roms on my S4. It is handy to work across devices.....but Hangouts is my go to messenger since my ios contacts are slowly converting to it from apples proprietary junk. Switched to hangouts when they added custom ringtones.

Evolve is excellent. Made me ditch 8sms, which I never thought would happen. Straightforward, with nice enough bells and whistles that aren't obnoxious.
I am getting tired of go sms, but I need sms pop ups. What is a good alternative?

So I just came across this nifty little app that apparently has on demand episodes of a very very large volume of shows. Little ad box at the bottom of the screen, but acceptable for just TV shows here and there.
WiFi recommended. Maybe if we had real 4G it wouldn't be necessary...

Oh how nice it would be to have HDMI mirroring.
This is actually pretty cool. It has Modern Family and Mad Men... I haven't looked any further but those videos played fine.

It appears I was able to pick this up in the small window that it was on the market...I'm currently trying to find a way to edit the default resolution of the app, as right now it is not taking advantage of the Atrix's increased resolution and it's not filling the bottom of the screen, anyone had any luck with this yet?

I'm more than happy to deodex my system, but theres no way to REodex just yet. It can potentially lead to update problems. I see no real benefit to deodexing. I don't really care for the reboot (although would be very nice), and ad's are usually outta the way.
The ad in this app doesn't interfere with watching the show, but it would if it was full screen...
Well after flashing the stock sbf and re rooting and using the market fix I can't find this app anymore... Wish I had saved it with titanium backup.. I know they just came out with the hd version that utilized way more of the screen if anyone has this app could you post it here? Maybe att is blocking this app? Might have to wait till I get to a wifi, switch air plane mode on, and see if it shows up. I can find the developer but not the tv shows free or tv shows free hd app... Any way to keep att from restricting what apps show on the market?

Hey guys -- just downloaded the executive assistant app and its AWESOME.

it reminds me very much of LockInfo which is an iPhone app... very customizable and very usable. great app here.. you guys should go get it while its free!!!

Yup! Same here. Install/uninstall.
Price of the app, like anything else, doesn't mean it's good quality or useful.
If you need an assistant to do what this app does, you already have a real one to go with your $30M a year salary!
Also, they were offering an app the other day for free, (forget which one), regular price $1.99 or something, and the same app was already free in the Market.

I guess I'm the only fan lol... I know that price of the app doesnt mean quality.. but this app reminds me of how LockInfo was set up (if you guys ever had an iPhone and had LockInfo you can appreciate the UI).
I have mines set-up as my lockscreen with all the info/RSS Feeds/Facebook set up on it so i dont have to launch anything.
I know there are a bunch of different widgets/apps already out there that can do this, but none could replicate or improve the look I wanted.... except this app.
to each his own!
I like it... I liked the lockscreen info app on the iphone... it does bug me that i have to hit home before swiping my finger 9 times out of 10, but it looks pretty good and it gives me info at a glance without actually getting into the phone if it isn't necessary.
I just like the fact that I can use it's widget to put notification on widgetlocker. and the icons are customisable as well so thats really great.

I totally understand what you are talking about. I used lock info as well on my jail broken iphone. It's kind of a replica of that. Looks beautiful also. I'm using this app as a replacement of widget locker for the moment. lets see how long it lays on my phone lol.

In my experience, i havn't found an app which could do the same, or even comes close. You know any app which can display who last called you, or whats in your text/email and from whom?
For me personally, i found the holy grail with this app, which is sadly not that impressive as i wish it was. My idol is the jailbreaked lockscreen and its copy in iOS5.

Not for a while. But its still too bulky, big and not customizable for me.
At the risk of being a little off topic, has anyone tried the new google plus app? What are your thoughts? I'm still waiting for my invite, if you have an extra invite, i'd like to try it out.
I'm curious what other atrix user experiences are with the android app.

I heard it doesn't do the video chat/hangout stuff, but it does most of the others. Looks to be a very interesting take on the Social realm. While it appears they are going after the Twitter & Facebook real estate, they are going at it in a different way. I dig it. Now only if they would only get around to sending out more invites already, haha.
It's pretty cool. Obviously still needs work like Hangout but i only have a few friends using it thus far, once i get more, i'll play around with it more.

Yea, I figured that would be the crux right now. It's great to have a social spot, but what good is it if you don't know anyone yet? Soon enough, I suppose.
Looks like they had to shut down the existing users invite service (which they opened up yesterday) due to "insane demand."

Definitely not experiencing that issue. Notifications are quite instant, sometimes faster than the little red square that appears on Google sites.
You might want to check out your Google+ notification settings here: https://plus.google.com/settings/plus
and make sure it is set to push notifications at the top as well as making sure the appropriate check boxes are checked.
Mind seems to be pretty consistent.

Don't feel bad. They styled it to look just like the facebook notification settings page, which is where facebook sends you all sorts of emails/sms, so I was so used to going to that page and unchecking everything.

You can also skip adding another app entirely and just do it using Tasker. Method here. No ads, no extra app running, great solution IMO.

I'm not sure that this particular method would work if you keep those names, but who knows, there may be a workaround. I actually keep the files with descriptive names in dropbox, but when I move the ones I want to use over to the SD card, I rename them 1 through whatever. That way, I keep the names for my purposes, but they behave when they're on my phone.
Definitely worth the effort to learn how to use Tasker, it's really a revolutionary app. You can eliminate a LOT of standalone apps that just do specific tasks like this using Tasker, and make your phone behave in ways that are positively magical.

I installed the arm64 version and I'm blown away with the speed and smoothness of this browser. When someone else said it was like night and day they wasnt kidding.
If you don't get this ad free version of chrome then you must need your head examining. Less data, still sync bookmarks, passwords, data etc and no ads resulting in fast as hell browsing. I'm blown away by this browser.

Any difference really between this and using the hosts file with AdAway?

I don't see any difference in loadingtime with this and chrome+adaway!
