(Q) Standard android/AOSP SMS

So i think one of my only gripes about the captivate right now is its inclusion of the twiz junk. I feel like the SMS app looks like it crawled out of a cartoon.
Ive searched around and am running axuras froyo right now, but does anyone know a way to get AOSP sms on the cap? Id rather not use handcent.
I dont care if its a theme or a rom. Whatever it takes.

replicate screen snapshot lock screen
love the theme just flashed it. However i have a question and im sorry if this is a really bad rookie question, but anyway. On your lock screen i see your clock and how you have the date in words rather than numbers. How do you enable that setting, i would love to have my lock screen identical to that in your screen shot. please let me know. And great work on the theme thanks

Nice work Dan, may have to give it a spin.

Are the new darker themes going to be flashable themes or are you going to release a whole darker rom?? Thanks

Rom ie awesome! Simple and beautiful. Going to test battery life today!

Like this Rom!!!
Hey great work i like it so far!! by the way love the MT4G Bar!!

when you say 'touchwiz free' what do you mean exactly? just no tw launcher? or all tw apps as well? i'm going to test it out regardless, but tw contacts is the only thing i'd miss...the only thing samsung did right imo.

hey
instead of contacts icon, can you tell me how to put a sms icon there?
thanks

It uses Launcher Pro.
You should be able to long press that Contacts Icon to bring up the "Edit Dock Shortcut" Pop-up window.
then,
tap "change shortcut"
then "Applications"
Then "messaging"

You cant unfortunately. The icons in the dock are part of the .png file. You can change the shortcut, but not the actual icon itself.

I think Im going to theme the whole ROM. This will be my first attempt at the theming game, so it may take a little while.

this looks pretty nice. im liking the Einherjar releases more and more. currently rolling Trigger 2.0.1

An accurate battery mod would be ideal. Also, never been a fan of the tw notification bar. Too much color.

Hey guys. Not trying to flame as I use Loki, but seriously you're putting out way too many roms and you need to consolidate because it's getting a little ridiculous.

ok................

i've been using it for 4 months already, it keeps getting better and better
you should try the Go Launcher EX
makes an awesome combo

It is nice... quick reply is much better than sms popup and the dark theme is really cool.

I'm going to try it.

My sentiments exactly after just reading your Windows 7 thread.

I enjoyed the Dark Theme with that app. I stopped using it because of the icon :3

Haha same reason i don't use it. Its great but i want the traditional icon. Well, you can't always get what you want

Tried it but it didn't connect some of my contacts with their phone numbers if the were only found via facebook. Couldn't figure out how to fix that so I went back to handcent.

U can easily edit ur icon....
I don't like that it says...
I said this ... and he said that in my text. And the bubble are okay.

Well, have been using it for about 2 weeks now.
Got an SMS yesterday and wanted to reply and also add one more contact to send the message to ... try as I might, could not find a way to do it.
Ended up copying the message and then creating a new message and adding both the contacts before pasting the copied stuff.
Anyone knows how to add a contact to a reply?

handcent is better imo
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

I use it too and I love it

Go SMS is stable and better than the stock client.
Most of the themes are tacky (the iPhone one is OK).
I wish it had the ability to forward texts as email.
You can change the icon with most launchers to whatever you want.
I use it with the MIUI iPhone Launcher, which is basically ADW, but with better icons.

I agree, I haven't found any other SMS app with the same level of customization as Handcent.

Wow I really like Go SMS so far. Compared to Handcent thought, it's fairly close in my opinion. I like the popup more on Go SMS. And it seems quicker than Handcent which I find to lag sometimes.

(along with Launcher Pro)

I switched from Handcent to this, let's see how it goes.

The stand alone feature has worked to the point I have deleted the stock mms client. Miss the gestures gesture in the cm7 mms but oh well.

[OLD]Dont dig this up any more. DELETED

Links are down and I had an os crash so the theme doesn't exist anymore. Sorry, I'm working on something right now though.
I highly recommend nitros honeycomb.

Nice work. It looks pretty awesome. I for one love the honeycomb battery and would like that as an option. That's easy to add in on your own though too.

This is nice. Im gonna try it. Question: What is the name of the program for the nice widgets with the pic in the first screen shot? Ive seen it before, but dont remember the name.

I used hc image cut to make those widgets. Maybe I will exclude gmail from the next update or figure out why its fc for some people.

Nice, I'd color match that battery icon so it doesnt clash with the rest.

To be honest I thought the honey comb battery clashed worse. I'll look into changing it though, oh and I'll be including a honeycomb battery option very soon possibly within the hour.

Very Nice!!! downloading now.

very nice theme...just noticed the shutdown animation...really cool....thanks

couple of notes:
1. the honey lock REPLACES the puzzle lock.
2. is there any way of adding the vibrate option to the honey lock screen? (ok thats more of a question)
3. best lock screen ever.

Yes it replaces the puzzle lock, it has the same functionality as the puzzle, it opens to messages, missed calls, and voice mails I believe. Sorry I can't add a vibrate option. That would be very extensive and I'm not sure I could even do it. Sorry bout that.

Best D3 texting apps

Hey all,
Pretty into,my new D3 so far, but I'm not thrilled with Moto's stock SMS app. I'd like to use the go or enter keys to send, and possibly a nicer looking chat thread. Maybe with pictures for the contacts. What are you guys using?

Get Handcent and the Darkness theme for it. It's money!

I use GO SMS PRO and it works well. Made my own dark theme using the theme editor. It's free and has no ads like Handcent. Plus I feel like the settings are more organized and look more stock. Handcent is a little too colorful and iPhone-y for me.

Another GoSMS user here. Loving the experience so far.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium

Thanks, guys. Will be trying GoSMS tonight. I tried handcent in the past, but I just didn't like the look and theming was a hassle. Keep it coming if you have any more suggestions.

Don't forget to download the Theme Maker. You can use any template and redesign the conversation windows to your likings. It's too bad it doesn't let you change everything, but find a good template to start on and you should be satisfied with the results.

I'm sorry, but Handcent looks like crap. All the themes are low res and poorly done.
I'm using CM7 2.3.5 AOSP mms

same for me, but i notice with the droid3, when i select a background image for the msg conversations my choices are
1: I chose gallery and it gives me a POS blurry image.
or 2: astro filemanager lets me crop the image but it dosnt show and it changes my home screen bg
is there any fix for this??? or has anyone found a better app?

When I type in txt the "n's" gets left out, sometimes. A "space" is in place of the N. Annoying.

Another vote for GO SMS. Also check out the Transparent Space Theme for Go Sms (And also for Go Launcher EX)

The N is right above the Space. You're probably hitting the wrong button...
