What is everyone using on their Nexus 6 for texting?

Just switched from Textra To Evolve. Love the themes for Evolve. Textra was really well done also.

TextraSMS. It's lightweight and works well, a lot to customize in terms of colors.

Since we don't have a way to flash anything (and may never will), could there be a thread for devs and users to share stuff to manually push or tweak? I've done this with combining two themed roms from sprint and international forums, but only the themed phone, mms, contacts and touchwiz. Are there things to tweak or add that would normally be built in a rom? I would love to see a thread with some att stuff for us to work with. I would post pics and stuff but I'm not the developer so it may not be okay.

Have u had any issues with the themed apps you are using from the other carriers?

Juzt one. I've used apks from bobcat rom (international) and jellybomb (sprint). The dialer from the bobcat rom gave me fc issues when I opened the phone app so I had to use a third party dialer. The call screen and dialer works once the call is engaged so I don't know. Kinda why I'm hoping devs will share some att stuff

Got my go yesterday and I absolutely love this thing. And battery life is better than I expected. Can't wait until I can respond to hangouts from the gear though. And vibe and ring together...other than that...I'm in love

Yeah it's great! Do you have the new update with all the notifications instead of texts and non Gmail emails only?
No...I'm waiting on the stock update...I'm not rooting or flashing anything

Welcome aboard. I too am very happy with the watch. It can only get better from here
This sounds like an extremely obvious problem with an extremely obvious solution but the thing is my Nexus 4 handled it like a champ. What gives?
As always thanks in advance and love you all!

Each device will work very differently. You can not compare it to the n4. Having that many messages restored is never advised.
Bat cave One
obviously it would lag with 17000 messages on HTC Sense Messaging app
Nexus 4 Stock Messaging app is quite light, that's why it handles them smoothly; IMO :silly:
why not deleting some messages
try any other messaging app from PlayStore, like 8sms
I use chomp on the Nexus 4 and now on this as well. It is strange that chomp will lag with the One and Not the Nexus 4 which is technically inferior.

Its not if your running a non sense rom. The nexus was made to run AOSP roms as to where the one was not. Also your transfering them from one device to another. This can cause issues due to diff in the system.
I see so I have no other choice but to delete my texts?

You could try other apps to see how they fair but in the end yes I think your gonna end up deleting some of the texts. To be honest none of the sms apps are really made to handle a messaging data base that size. I have noticed after about 500 they start lagging.
Thanks man I'm going to delete them all now.

Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to amass 17,000(!) texts?
3 years haha!

ChompSMS
Google Hangouts. It is able to do Group MMS without glitches/issues.
I've also used Textra. It was the fastest sms/mms app I ever used and it also does Group MMS without glitch/issues.

Are there any sms apps that have a quick reply in apps like bitesms in ios and still keep the look of the sms app close to stock?

Also fed up with the crap stock app, I got on here and tried Textra first.. It's good, clean, but lacking a couple of features I really want. First that comes to mind is message count option; I prefer this to be shown in my conversation list.
I ended up with Chomp, and so far it's working great.. with a ton of customization, which I like also! No trouble with MMS; in fact it displayed images out of my MMS's that the stock client would never display.. Old stuff in conversations, not just new messages.
Does anyone know how to keep gifs from stopping my music? Every time I open one it stops my music and its really annoying.

I just noticed this myself. Is it a 5.1 thing?
No because I'm on 5.0.1

I feel like i didn't have this issue until i flashed a stock based rom. I had been on AOSP roms since i got the device.
I'm on cm12 nightly and before this I was on chroma ROM

Anyone figure out a fix? I've been looking, but no luck yet.
