Can any one point me to a messaging theme or skin for our device? I'm getting bored of the yellow, baby blue and gray text bubbles.
not much of a choice other than chomp or handcent. Plenty of themes to choose from with chomp. I do have to admit, i miss the swiping in the message list.

I've never heard of either of these. Thank you, I'm going to give Handcent a try.
I liked the stock messaging app on the Droid 1.
Can I just remove the bubbles and goback to the boring I had on the d1?

Yes, just use the AOSP messaging app. I know it's in JT's ROM.

Yep, i second this. I didbt want to move away from stock messaging either, but now with handcent, i wouldn't go back
Handcent 3rded. I liked it even better than chomp.
boo. disagree.
I got a Captivate to get AWAY from the iphone. Handcent is an ugly attempt to port the iphones messaging UI to android. Yuck.
I would definitely like to see a way to change the SMS bubble color though for the stock message UI.
I don't know about you, but i can tweak handcent to look just like the stock messaging but with different colored bubbles. You just have to play with it a little. Tweak out on it. It is possible.

10th handcent? haha i lost count.
yea. my handcent doesn't look like an iphone at all.. :T it's very.. me-esque with random colors haha
handcent lags.
Seems fine to me..the lag I notice is bearable but for the most part its pretty up to speed

useless content starting from the star -.-
Have you thought about using AOSP mms.apk? no bubbles, just lines of different colors and much much faster to load than touchwiz mms.
I hated Handcent xP, but there is a way to change the bubble colors and the messaging font size and color and alignment of the bubbles

I know it says Captivate, but that's basically the Vibrant's cousin on the AT&T side of the cellular family

Its all opinion, but the stock messaging app is the lame one. Lacking features like being able to change bubble colors.

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

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.

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.

The wallpapers are pushed to your SD card during the install. It should be in NitroWallpapers folder.

Its vivid compared to his other great themes. This is a great one as well. Ever wonder why people stop makeing themes? Because when they make them and for the most part everyone likes it, there is always one person that has to be a smart ass about it one way or another. I'm sure the devs get sick of the crappy post about work they are doing for FREE! just saying
Hey, I'm really digging this one a lot ...
I have a couple of suggestions.....
The new version of launcher pro is on the market, 84 I think it is...
One of the themes I've played with.....maybe a few versions ago of either superdark or nitrodark had these cool nifty colored icons in the pulldown menu that I think would match this concept.....
I really like the themed launcher pro setup, just adds to the cool factor and it works right without me having to reenter my registration key for the plus parts, I guess its stored in a setting on sdcard, but its cool nonetheless

I am actually going to to change the notification bar to the one from superdark that I also used in my NitroDark theme in some of the earlier versions. I have an updated launcherpro for this version if anyone wants it. I am going through and updating the launcherpro's that I use in my themes right now. I will post a zip if anyone wants it in the original post in about 5-10 minutes.
Thanks again for another great theme. Nice job!

newbe here i just have to say you do great work keep it up, one question how do i install the laucherpro file you have under nitro to my phone simple steps please just learning lol also i installed your honeycomb theme i love it but if i wanted to install a different theme all i have to do is flash the second theme correct??
I am looking for a mod of the mms apk to alter the look of messaging. Specifically, something that clones the bubble message look.
Not looking to theme everything, as I using a ROM I'd rather not get rid of.
Can someone lead me in the right direction?
Please and thank you!
There are plenty of sms replacement apps in the market.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Yeah, use either Handcent or Go SMS in the market. They're both great SMS replacements!
chomp is also good.
but i don't think OP means an alternate app, i think he wants the tw4 mms apk, or something more native than gosms, handecent, and chomp.
download nitrality and you should find what you are looking for!
What ROM are you running? There is a fishable zip file in the OP of the evil fascinate ROM that flashes a messaging program that has the bubbles like stock. It replaces the message app that comes with the ROM so it'll be just like stock. If you are on a TW ROM it will probably work. If I can get to a computer I'll get you the link, if not just go to the development forum and goto nitro's evil fascinate thread and it's near the bottom with all the extras. If your not on touchwiz you'll have to use a market app., good luck! Make a nandroid before messing around just in case

So I'm not a huge fan of the cartoony emoticons in the HTC text messaging app, and would prefer not to install a 3rd party one (even though Textra *is* pretty great)
Any chance someone could make a mod or xposed module to disable these cartoons and use regular text based :^)
Cheers :good:
Possibly yes
I hope so..
Yes.. Please haha
