Friendcaster is a hands down, far superior app for Facebook, then the Official Facebook app. It does it in less room, with a plethora of options the Official app doesn't have. I can do almost everything on Friendcaster I can online, and faaaaarrrrrrrrr more then the FB app. Try it!!
hmmm, I will have to check it out. Thanks for the 411
Thanks sinsin it is a better app than facebook android.
Bummer it doesn't have chat.
Black facebook! Its the best ! Its not in the market tho

seems to me that what this app does os mostly provide notifications of updates and then send you to the facebook app or the webpage to do updates or even simply reply to messages. Will have to play with it some more however.

Been forever. If you're using the free version it doesn't do half of what the paid one does. If youre using the paid version there are options in the settings to choose actions for things. So it really does everything better. Even the FB app forces you to the website for stuff. Plus the paid version of Friendcaster has a black theme, to answer the post before yours. Not sure what options the free version has so if you're using it read up on it. It may be limited to certain things and options.

I have another question, there is also the possibility to display sms or missed call like push notification with locked screen or in home without change launcher?
thank you
I know what your talking about. It was on an evo rom that I used.

As many people suggested SMS pop is great, if you just want SMS pop up. You could also try chomp SMS and GO!SMS, you'd have to get use to a new texting app though. GO!SMS is nice though IMO. I prefer stock ICS Message app but meh
Was just curious as to what messaging app most people was using and recommended. I like to find one that has pop up and possibly lock screen preview like the stock app. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.

I love the stock messenger app, it has everything I need.
Go sms has pop up too if you prefer that.

For now, stock app until I find something I like better.
I was using Textra on my S3 but it didn't want to work well with kitkat so I went to hangouts. I think hangouts could be a really good app, but right now its terrible in the way its organized. Contacts are a mess to sort through, and every google account you have has the ability to send messages which makes things very difficult to manage if you end up sending messages from more than one.
I'm not a huge fan of the stock app...kind of ugly, but it works well.
I use Textra and I love it.
Thanks for the info. I will try out those. I liked the stock app but was getting lag using it. It want bad but bad enough to drive me nuts. Lol

I really liked the stock app until I imported all of my old texts from my I7777 and then the lag was unbearable. Nearly a 2 minute wait. Now I'm using Hangouts. Not as many features, but no lag.
Textra
EvovleSMS (this is the one I use)
HelloSMS
I tried all the popular ones...Go SMS, Textra, hello SMS, Hangouts, Evolve, etc. Hated all of them. I ended up sticking with chomp SMS. It's from the same developer that made biteSMS for the jailbroken iPhone, so I'm familiar with it. Plus, you can customize the theme to your liking. It has all the popular features: popups, quick reply/compose, delay sending, scheduled sending, privacy, etc.
Ever since my SGS 2, I always end up back with Textra. Black theme. Light, fast, actively developed and has all the necessary features. It's not overblown and just does it's job well.
I've been using Chomp for a long time and have been very happy with it. I've been trying out the stock messaging app for a few days, compared to past Samsung messaging apps, I'm impressed, but I'll probably be installing Chomp again soon...
Are there any messaging apps or themes for a messaging app that would make it flat? No matter how much I edit Chomp or Textra it just still doesn't look flat.

I use hangouts as my stock mainly because I can directly chat with my Google contacts. I have little reception where I live but still have WiFi so I can message my friends with android over a hangout instead of an SMS. I also very much like the layout and Android Emojis. I never liked textra, chomp, or handcent.

using stock messaging app here , rooted with twrp recovery , I have popup enabled when I get a msg and phone is locked (swipe to unlock set) I click the msg but then the phone lags at the lock screen ,and hangs. anyone else having problems with this ? or know a way to correct it ?
to get out of it I have to swipe to unlock then open up the messaging app it wont let me click the msg I got from the lock screen .
Was using ChompSMS but was getting a bit slow, switched to EvolveSMS but it's still really buggy, using Textra now. Slim, fast, quick reply / compose and not bogged down with tons of settings. Simple theme & emoji setup too. Be sure to download Textra emojis from app store.
since we are discussing the messaging apps, has anyone been getting random message alerts on old messages in the stock app? Phone was sitting on the counter last night charging and I heard it go off. Came out to find an alert for a message from tuesday that had already been read. Had this happen once before as well...alert on a previous read message. Never seen anything like it
From the sound of your needs, it seems like the stock app would suit your needs best. Why not use it? I don't really understand why some people seem to force themselves to use third party apps if the native ones work fine. :what:

Franco has a display control for the nexus that I have used twice. N4 and n5. I was a huge fan of the app. It had gamma control and presets. Unfortunately the n6 isn't listed as a supported device. Does anybody know of of any good mods or apps for this? Throw in your fav mods screen or not screen related. I'm trying to spruce this baby up. PS. The display is awesome as is but I'm trying to max out.

It's Google's new messaging app.
Uninstalled already. Not for me...
It's cool. Has a few hidden features and built in Google assistant is dope.

So we have allo, duo, messaging, hangouts, voice, Google+... What in good God's name is going on? Tried allo and duo, saw nothing worth wasting my time on. Uninstalled. Can't they make 1 app that does everything properly and in fact pulls in WhatsApp, viber and Skype into it to have one do it all app instead of this confusing mess?

The best feature I think it has is the incognito messaging. It has end to end encryption and pretty much self destructs at a interval you choose.
problem is, that your contacts, and possibly your messages arent getting destroyed at any interval at this point. and they are being stored on Google servers so, thats why alot of folks have no interest is using this snooping infested app..
