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.

(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

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.

+1
(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.

Gallery 3D theme/app?

In the ROM AOSP-Flavored Nonsense when you view your apps and scroll through them they go 3d like. I tried searching for a app just to have that feature but i can't find anything for the thunderbolt. Wondering if there is such a thing.

I have the app your talking about on my phone. Just search the market for gallery 3D.
Edit: after re-reading your post I think your talking about the 3D app drawer. If so just download LauncherPro and there is a setting in advanced settings to change it to 3D.

yes that is what i was looking for however it wont let me use that setting with sense, so id have to always use launcherpro no?

Yeah, it's kind of one or the other. You can always spend $3.49 for LauncherPro Plus and it has a lot of Sense like widgets. It's the closest you'll get to Sense with a 3D app drawer.

Hmm not worth it just for the 3d feature. ATT developers time to make a 3d app drawer

motoblur contact widget

is there anyway to get the motoblur contact widget the one that you pull down and shows your favorites and you can call text view contact widget that comes with motoblur to work on other launchers or is that just built into the blur and no way for it to work on other launchers. if that is the case anyone use a similar app that is pretty stable

won't work on other launchers. I know, it sucks. I kinda like that widget too. Try the life.contacts widget from sony. It's pretty good.

All the manufacturers seem to do that with their Widgets. I've seen just about every alternative home launcher receive bad reviews on the android market when there is nothing they can do about it.
