I gave up hope of root and custom Roms and got myself a sony xperia Z Ultra which I really like other than low volume and I REALLY miss the stock messaging app for the adjustable font size with the volume controls (get tired of grabbing my reading glasses )..... AND the ability to delay/schedule ssending texts.......
So if there is any way I can pull that app from my mega after i have lost root / been force fed the 4.4.2 update.....And before I sell it..... or if anyone can point me to a way to download that messaging app... I would really appreciate it!
You can, but it probably won't work as most apps require the touchwiz framework which is Samsung only

well thank you but that sounds discouraging.....
Then do those features (adjustable font size with the volume controls AND the ability to delay/schedule ssending texts) sound to anyone like something I could find together in another SMS App ?
I am not sure specifically but there are a million SMS apps. I particularly like sliding messaging.
Sent from my GT-I9205 using Tapatalk
yeah the fact that there are SO many is one of the reasons I am asking for advice to pull that one I like so much, OR find ONE app with those features.... I will check out sliding messaging - do you know if it has the features i am looking for?
still looking for advice...
patiently.... and i swear i have tried searching.... just bumping in hopes of getting someone's attention that has been in similar situation

I've tried and tried to no avail as far as using my palm to get a screenshot. Is it maybe because I'm using ICS perfection based on the newest build?
EDIT: I didn't realize your palm has to touch the screen. Silly me it works flawless. Its actually the quickest way to achieve a screenshot

Is it my imagination:
The android keyboard is less forgiving?
I have way more typing errors than with previous bases.
The gallery looks blurry?
My eyes aren't what they used to be, but . . .
still could use more work
As with the previous leaks some of the issues were not addressed. Basically some will find this leak pleasant and others such as myself not worth the hassle (returning once again back to stock). I quess it all depends on how one uses their phones. For me the task manager (jobmanager.apk) is a must, task manager must be used repeatedly to accomplish anything. Next Bluetooth works, however when using it with Pandora and programs via data I lose the ability to control music using headset (some functions work others don't). Trying to connect to a call via Bluetooth during audio playback in news or Pandora is more trouble than its worth. Tap to zoom while viewing pages over zooms not to big an issue but prefer to have it zoom and fit the screen. Last but not least, I still think the note has the worst call quality of any phone I've ever used was hoping a ROM or update would fix this, of course this is my opinion here. I will give the browser one thumbs up (the other hand is being used to display a middle finger to this leak) it far surpasses the previous stock browser, I'm not a fan of the checkerboard effect. I haven't used this leak long enough to find any other problems.

I'm glad to see that the keyboard problem wasn't just me. I felt like Homer Simpson trying to type. Not only was it generating a lot of typos but it also seemed like the auto-correct was acting like a drunk Marine... way too aggressive and usually wrong. The strange part is that I encountered the exact same problem with the android keyboard, the samsung keyboard, ICS keyboard, A.I. Type, and Swype. Swiftkey has acted fairly good for me though. I imagine there has to be some component, related to autocorrect, that all of the other keyboards share but Swiftkey doesn't.
I seems that the hidden menu:
*#*#4636#*#*
is not working anymore. I think this is a new issue, before this was always working.
I also don't like too much this new keyboard ... too many typos.
So is it the way the screen reads your fingertips, or is the dictionary a suck-hole?

I've settled on Handcent for now, but I've been wondering what some of you guys are using. I've tried a couple others, but Handcent just seems fluid and is constantly updated and supported. Lots of themes and tools to utilize, if that's your thing.
Also, in addition to what SMS app you're using, is there an SMS app that will allow "reply to all" natively? I get group texts from iPhone users and when I reply it only goes to the person that sent the message to me.

I've been using Handcent since I moved to Android(always had dumb phones before)roughly three years ago. I like the set up,customizations and how smooth it operates. I also like that the app has strong support, although I'm sure that they all do.
Am I the only one who likes stock apps? Such as stock sms+keyboard? Sheesh. :x

Since I started with Swiftkey for a keyboard app, I NEVER could go back to stock on any phone (or tablet) - It ruined me for anything less!
And there are some stock SMS apps I like and have used. In fact I like the one on the OG and I seriously considered sticking with it, but I switched to Handscent for purely vanity reasons. I like to put a "signature" on my texts and the stock SMS won't let me do that. I do use the stock e-mail app, however!
+1 for SMS Popup. Also the Cyanogenmod version of the stock keyboard since it has a dark theme. Haven't tried it on the LGOG yet because I haven't gotten mine, but I imagine it will work.
Well, since the stock app has a reply to all feature, I'm just running that now. Handcent had some cool stuff, but all these group texts are killing me.
I can't believe Handcent doesn't have reply to all at this point.

I've used Swiftkey and Hancent before and I've always switched back to Stock.
Well, I used them on my Inspire 4g. But I ran other ROMs so I guess the keyboards were never exactly "stock"...
Meh! I can do without. The LGOG's stock is nice, for my preference anyway.

And you're 100% positive that handcent is not Chinese or otherwise related to anything Asian? I don't see anywhere on their site stating that they're local, or European. And what proof do you have that they steal your info and sells them?
I don't find go SMS a resource hog at all actually so I don't know about that either.

Many third party SMS app comes with added features that aren't available on stock apps. For me, go SMS pro has two features that I don't see in other SMS apps yet, unless they're addons, and those are inter grated lock screen for the app itself and a private chest to store all your texts that u don't want ppl to see. It has screen popup notifications too so uh don't have to constantly access your SMS app to read or reply texts but I think handcent has the same feature.

I like Handcent for some of the features to customize and privacy aspects. Different backgrounds to choose from and privacy inbox to off load or keep texts in through their storage.
The stock is okay, but unless I've missed something it's fairly limited and bland as far as options.
I use go pro sms...haha....it works pretty well too!

I always used the stock SMS app, never felt comfortable with anything else. I like the simplicity. Swiftkey keyboard plus the stock app= perfect minimalistic experience.
I use the stock sms and then either Swype or Swiftkey flow.
Sent from my UNLOCKED LG-E970 using xda premium
I'd live to use the stock app if only it has security integration. Just cuz the phone is locked doesn't mean ppl can't get into your phone and then read the text messages. Its an added layer of security.
Another advantage of go SMS pro (not sure if handcent has a similar feature) is that if u never delete your text messages and have literally thousands n thousands of text messages within a single contact, go SMS truncates the chain of conversations to the latest ones n if u scroll up, u can click show more messages to view older ones. This speeds up loading time when going into a conversation. Whereas in the stock app, it can take sometimes 5 or more seconds of delay since its trying to load all the old texts.
For example, my conversation with my gf has never been deleted lately, resulting in nearly 10,000 texts between the both of us. When I open our conversation in go SMS pro, it works fine. But using the stock app can take nearly 10-15 seconds n it sometimes even crash and freeze. So yeah, it can make a difference.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get rid of them annoying water noises and get clicks and also is it possible to get a stock looking drop bar? I know I can get the keyboard

Sent from my Galaxy S3 using xda app-developers app
seems to me that you have applied some custom framework. Which ROM and framework do you have?
Generally, for disabling water noise sound and click sound go to Settings>Sound, scroll to the end, and un-toggle 'Keytones','Touch sounds' and 'Screen Lock sound'
I like the clicks and that I just don't like how Samsung love to mess about with things that are fine how they are they seem to make things worse when "if it ain't broke don't touch it" I am on super nexus but it has minor bugs here and there and I'd like the stock apps eg all share and have better battery and ui
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
my advice is that you should switch to ROM that is more stable and has TW framework(because without you wont be able to have samsung apps such as all share because they are implemented in Samsung's TouchWiz framework), and you can install some launcher such as apex, holo, etc, and preserve that android-stock look if you are aiming for it
I'm mainly after stock aosp sounds I can sort KB and launchers

Update to Android 4.1.1 with the slide down notification bar
Hey guys, just wondering if it'd be possible (or already is available) to be able to get the Sense 5.0 messaging app onto other devices like the GS4 or GS3? I absolutely love the way it looks, especially compared to the meh TouchWiz messaging app interface.
Let me know if it's possible, in the works, or cannot be done.
Thanks, everyone.

I seriously doubt it. I would wager that the Sense 5 messaging app pulls assets from the Sense framework, meaning it's not all wrapped up in the messaging APK. But hey, I could be wrong.

Ya, was wondering if someone will come out with an app to mirror Sense 5's Messaging. Going to be hard to live without it ^^
Sense 5 messaging app is truly gorgeous. Too bad there is no quick reply. Miss Bitesms on my iPhone. Could tap on the notification and a quick reply box would pop up. I would use chompsms which is made by the same developers as Bitesms but the sense 5 messaging app is to elegant to pass up. Needs to be a app that gives you notifications like notifier pro plus but let's you tap the notification to quick reply.

I was just wondering I enjoy the functionality of a third party S-View cover that I purchase and thought if anyone has been able to make some sort of tweaking to the S-View feature. For example, the S-View missed text message notification makes you open the samsung messages app when my default is Chomp Sms. I was thinking maybe there is a way to change the sms app to whichever one a user wants or also change the default phone app for an app such as dial one. I've looked around everywhere and seeing that this is an awesome phone and this forum has awesome developers and people maybe making this suggestion will be helpful for some.
