Hello ! How do I make my texts to show as conversation style ?
Me: hello
You: hello
Me: blablablah
You: blablabla
right now I see my conversation at the bottom of the screen and
the other person's at the top..
Running Telus Fascinate, rooted, stock OS.
Thanks !
It appears that the stock SMS app doesn't have any settings related to conversation style. You could always try a different app, like GoSMS, which is almost 100% customizable.
I suggest you go into the fascinate themes and apparently thread, download the touchwiz 4 theme, then take the mms.apk from the theme and push it to your phone with root explorer, then you should have conversation style texts. Hope this works!

Go SMS is themeable and has the light blue you are looking for.
Its from the market but its free.
If you're worried about double notifications, you can disable notifications in the stock sms app in the settings.
I know it's your first post and all, so welcome to the board. Next, go into the stock messaging app and wonder around settings for a while... looking for colors, themes, or any other setting. When you are done, go download Handcent from the market and disable notifications in the stock messaging like fpineda101 said. Feel free to look at the free themes in market for handcent or just change the colors, fonts, window style...
I would like to make the notifications stay on my status bar until I actually read the SMS or the e-mail. There are times where I don't have time to read a long e-mail or answer a test at that instant but I would like to be reminded to read it later by leaving the notification on the status bar.
As soon as I open the SMS app or the e-mail or gmail app, the notification goes away.
For bonus points: any way to have the number of unread messages next to the icon in the menu? I found one way to do it for sms but it's a widget and I prefer having my icons on a dock.
Just putting this out there: I would love to have this for Gmail and Google Voice as well.
I'm so sorry for this poor answer but sassibob did a review for an app that let you set reminders in your status bar, in don't remember the name of it tho
Swyped from just about every ROM in the HD2 section

Why open the SMS app if you're not going to read it?
Anyway, use GoLauncher or LauncherPro or Launcher 7 if you want a little number next to the SMS app to tell you how many unread messages are present. You can't get this for Gmail because Google axed the API, and you won't find it for Google Voice either as far as I know.
Thanks guys! Will check those out!

On my old phone I used to leave them unread so that the notification was there to remind me to answer them later. LauncherPro did exactly what I wanted! Now if only it did that for the app drawer too...
He actually left one out, adw launcher also leaves the numbers of unread SMS,email, and other stuff, but you must download adw notifier along with the launcher

Adw sucks IMO though, plus you need the launcher plus an addon..

Adw is awesome the addon means nothing it still functions plus adw has more customizations. Lp is great also, but u have to pay for donate to resize widgets, also adw lets u change icons natively

I tried out the ADW notifier and the problem remains that the number goes away as soon as you launch the messages app or e-mail even if you don't open the message. LP wins this battle. Plus, I have a clean home screen so widgets don't apply to me personally
im on axiom 4.0.3 ICS rom right now, love it. only thing i miss from my nexus is the black sms apk, can i use any old apk from the nexus or does someone need to make a new one for the razr?
love the black themed apps.
Have you searched around for any black oriented themes for go sms pro? That may help you with what your looking for.
Use Hancent, best messaging app I've ever used. The theme is so customizable, that you'll probably be able to duplicate your Nexus' style.
this can eaily be solved by handcent or go sms
I'd kill for the stock SMS app, black option, with Emoji and iPhone-style group MMS.
Dream, I know.
Problem with Handcent, for me, is it's kinda bloated and slow and ugly to be honest. They really need to streamline it and make it line up with the simple look of ICS.
I would definitely give go sms a shot because once you set it up the way you want it as far as colors and themes it's simply an incredible third party text messaging application

Just reboot into recovery (CWM/Bootstrap or Safestrap), flash and reboot and you're good to go!

...amen!
Is there a current custom HTC stock SMS app? I actually dont mind the stock sms but I would really like to know a way to change the color scheme of the messaging bubbles, fonts, and/or backgrounds.
I've been running some of the 3rd party SMS apps (Go SMS Pro, Handcent, and etc.) I was even able to fix the profile picture sync issue with them, but they seem to run a little glitchy sometimes. Where as the stock sms performs great other then it being so plain.
Thanks in advance.
I agree that the 3rd party SMS apps aren't running smoothly at this time. I'm running the stock SMS but have SMS Popup installed which doesn't run smoothly either. I'm looking for alternatives to use, cause I like the Individual Notification option in the 3rd party apps. I've used Handcent and GOSMS, both ran decent but they both had there issues with working inconsistently.
If you go into settings>personalize>skin, you can change the skin, some of the skins have a blue sms theme some have a green sms. I know its not really what you are looking for but it is better than nothing.
I want it inverted black

I know a dev working on that very thing, he's told me its a real pain compared to the sense 2.1 mms, and that took him quite a while.

Until such time we can compile the apk's successfully it will be tough to make it to your liking. I do themes, and we can't yet get ICS apk's to compile after they've been edited. I'm sure there are devs working on this issue, but as of now there unthemeable.
A black background would be nice.

I am now currently using GoSms again, but I had to disable the notification / Quick response box. Now it runs smooth. So I'm guessing it's a Sense 4.0 issue. Apparently Sense, doesn't like notification boxes.

Hello All,
I've been running Stock JB for a while and I just flashed houstonn's Carbon 4.3. It works great is very smooth and stable. However, It looks like the Email, Phone and SMS apps in Carbon do not have unread count / badge displayed in launcher or dock. The stock version's corresponding apps do display unread count as little red circle on the icons. I am not sure if this is because of the launcher or what. It appears that badge/unread count may not be available for any AOSP based ROMS? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Does any one know if ParanoidAndroid apps (or other ROMs) display badge/unread/missed count?
It looks like Apex Prime or Nova Prime launcher claim to have this feature, but I have not tried them yet. I want to check here first to see that the deal is if I want badge/unread/missed count on apps.
What are my options?
1. Does PA or any other rom support this?
2. New Launcher? Which one?
3. New E-mail/Phone/SMS apps? Which ones?
3. Some how obtain stock apks?
Thanks in advance for your help.
SV.
Nova Prime works well, had the Gmail count hang up a few times showing unread when there wasn't.
I use Nova prime and it seems to work fine for me.

What about stock e-mail app
Thanks for the input on Nova Prime. Looks like it works with Gmail fine. Any idea about stock/touchdown/Emoze? I have to use Exchange email.
Thanks again.
SV
Yeah it works with those too... AFAIK. I used em in the summer and it was working then.

Things I've tried so far
Just thought I'd update with what I found so far. Thanks for Nova recommendation.
1. Notifyer - sort of works, but very unreliable.
2. Nova Prime + TeslaUnread - Works with Stock Email/Phone/SMS/K9. Does NOT work with Emoze. Also, The bade doesn't really show "unread" count. It just shows the same count as the notification bar. If you clear the notification from the notification bar, the badge also disappears. This defeats the whole purpose of the "unread" badge for me. If I get 10 messages and I clear the notification but only read one message, the badge is gone!
Next up is Apex Paid and Apex Notifier. I'll also try Missed It (not really a "badge", but a widget).
Apex and Missed It
I've tried the latest version of Missed It. It does work, but with a couple of really big flaws. Problem 1: If I clear notifications from the status bar, the count is cleared from Missed It as well. Kind of pointless to have this app if all it does is mirror the notification bar. Problem 2: E-mail Count is wrong. I have more than one account configured in e-mail. I've tried multiple event settings set to all three different settings, but no dice. It appears that the stock e-mail app sends notifications with number of unread mails every time it gets a bunch of new e-mails. But it sends one notification per account. So count as single or multiple probably doesn't work since it sends only one notification if more than one new mails arrive at the same time. Count as value does not work since it sends one notification per account, so the last account notification overwrites previous. Count as value can work if it is additive. Note that Missed It is supposed to provide counts for Nova Prime, but I didn't bother with config since it does not work for me.
The last one that I've tried (and it worked) is Apex Pro. Don't know why I didn't try this first. Works right out of the box. Note that a companion app called Apex Notfiier must be installed. But is all seamless and works great with AOSP dialer, SMS, Calendar and E-Mail. On dialer, it clears the count if I clear the notification bar or open the dialer, which I think is ok. It does the proper thing for SMS, E-mail and Cal and retains the true count as report by the app. It is supposed to work with few other email clients including K9 but not with Whatsapp, facebook etc.
So, I stuck with Apex Pro ($4) in the end. Not sure why this is not native to Android since the badge/unread is very useful.
Hope this helps others.
Sarat
On a different note, I couldn't find a decent email app that combines exchange 2010 + POP3/IMAP so I had to stick with Stock. Stock works fine, but limited in its user interface and tweakability. Be careful with Emoze as everything is routed through their servers in Israel.
Holo Launcher HD Plus supports this. Worked well when I tried it, but I keep some messages unread, so always seeing the red circles on my dark themes annoyed me. Lol
