The motoblur is honestly not that bad but there are a couple things I miss from the bone stock Android message app.
1. The ability to delete all message threads. I do not like that the motoblur version makes you enable multiple select first and then you have to select them all individually.
2. The ability to send on enter from the on screen keyboard.
So I'm wondering if the default message app is in the market or if the stock Android one can be installed?

Agreed. I dont like this SMS message limit.
i think your only bet is to get another sms app. handcent in market can do all that listed plus more. plus you can change the theme to be "default" android look.

I have a rooted SGS2 running Siyah 2.3 and Touch X-Power, with LauncherPro. I have the stock messaging app. When I receive texts from certain people in my contacts list, I get a notification but when I open the text to read it, I'm taken straight to the message create screen and can't read the text. No matter which way I try to enter the messaging app, I can't open the text or any previous ones that I've received from them.
This also happens if I have Handscent running, the message is accepted by the stock app but not Handscent... It's driving me mad.
Any ideas? Can I remove the stock app so that it isn't there at all and use something else like Handscent as the default?
If the app doesn't force close then it sounds like its a problem with either what you are doing or something other than the app.
But yea, you can remove the app and just use handcent if you really want to. Get Root Explorer from the market if you haven't already (its like £2 or something). Then navigate to system > apps > you will see a whole bunch of apks. Find MMS.apk and delete it.
Hope that helps.
Did you mess around with the settings?
I have been using "SMS popup" on my android phones for years now. Never had a problem until I installed it on this new Rezound. The SMS popup comes up when a new text comes in, it just doesnt pull up the person's profile photo as it's supposed to. It's got to be an HTC/Sense issue. I've used SMS popup on AOSP, Samsung Touchwiz, and Team Hacksung's ICS port for the Galaxy S; all of which funtioned properly.
I know I can get handcent but I really like the way this HTC messaging app looks (and its ad-free, unlike handcent). And SMS popup is such a simple way to accomplish the popup on incoming texts and still allow me to use the manufacturer's messaging app.
Has anybody else run into this problem or have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Do you have your contacts linked? Maybe it doesn't know which one to grab...
Alternatively go with Go SMS which is free and does pop up.

Some contacts are linked, some arent. Either way, neither contact photos shows up.
The way my contacts are set up is, I have a google gmail contacts. None of those have any photos in them. Then I also let facebook sync my friends list to my contact list. Some facebook friends also have a google gmail contact equivalent. Those are the ones that are linked.
This is the same way I've always done my contacts on all my other android phones and it's never been a problem. This HTC phone is the first time I've ran across this problem. It's like the SMS popup is calling for a contact photo, but the HTC version of the contact app is calling it by a different name.
Weird, SMS popup works just fine for me pulling up the contact pic using sense etc (innefilibis ROM if that matters)
By the way, I used Handcent for years (with the ads blocked) but this is the first phone I like the stock SMS so much (with red theme bubbles) I didn't even bother installing it.
I'm coming from an iPhone 4 & one of the features I loved about it is the emoji/emoticons (smiley faces in text messages) I can send & receive with other iPhone/iPod/iPad users. Are there any apps I can send/receive emoji/emoticons with iPhone users (in otherwords, cross-platform)? I've read Handcent should be able to do this but won't be able to verify until my GNote arrives later today & activate it. Also, whatever new MMS messaging app(s) I download, I'm assuming I should disable text notification for the stock messaging app? Which one is the stock one? Thanks & looking forward to jumping ship!
GO SMS and then download the emjoi plugin and go sms is better the handcent. Handcent has a problem with mms at times cool little app but go sms is fast and easy to use.
That was helpful!

Yeah, I just read about Go SMS while using the search feature but didn't know if it could do emoji's. Thanks for the info & comparison, I'll download that! I'm assuming I should disable text notification for the stock messaging app? Which one is the stock one?
The stock messaging app is called "Messaging". I believe that GO SMS (which I also really like and use) actually gives the option to turn off the stock messaging notifications when you first download and open it (at least I remember that for some reason).

Ok, cool thanks! You guys/gals have no idea how relieved I am to hear there are apps that does this on the Android Market.

Thx, ya I'm gonna try out both & see which one I prefer.
So the latest version of Go SMS Pro has started flashing the "GO Chat" icon on contacts that are also using Go SMS Pro, even though I have the "running mode" on "Light" specifically because I do not want to use any of the extra crap at all.
This seems to be a common theme with the dev trying to push the Go-crap on everyone. So my question is, does anybody know of any app that offers the same features, message popup, and Dark-style theme as Go SMS *without* forcing their own "premium" features down your throat?
I'm getting tired of being constantly advertised to when I am specifically disabling those features.
guys I have a question: does the stock messaging app NOT have an option or setting or something to tell it what to do with embedded links? when I press on a link, the response options I get are for the whole message [like save, forward, whatever] not for the link. it doesn't seem to recognize the link even though it is properly highlighted...
I was hoping to get out of the "two competing messaging apps" cycle but gosms at least knows what to do
if you are rooted then just delete the stock apk and keep gosms.
Have you seen the same problem with the default msg app?
never used stock. i use att messaging on cm9.i like having voicemail transcribed and messages all in one app. embedded urls work fine with it. also work on google voice. thats why i suggest just deleting stock. there are better ones out there. like you said gosms works fine.
