add pre-saved quick text for messaging - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

is there a way to create and save some pre-defined texts for messaging?
sorry, came from the htc phones and they had this feature and is pretty cool, especially when you are driving and you can just click on some pre-defined texts.
thank you in advance.

coming from a blackberry would be nice to see too. one of the things i miss from their autotext.
I know there are 3rd party keyboards that add this functionality, my problem is I'd like to use say swiftkey X or swype and have something else provide this functionality.
And its not like i just want an autocorrect for typical spelling mistakes. I had shortcuts on blackberry like calloff <space> was a shortcut for "Please call me at the office (555) 123-4567" etc.
So my thinking is I'd add calloff as a dictionary word in the swype dictionary and then this other app would recognize that as a known [macro/shortcut] and replace it with the longer text.

Need a SMS app!!! I hate the look of the OEM SMS messaging.

Need a SMS app!!! I hate the look of the OEM SMS messaging.
Are there any options?
I have tried SMS-Chat and didn’t like that.
I’d like a good visual layout like the iphone for lg dare messaging.

[Q] SMS App

I want to replace the default SMS app with the one I downloaded [Handcent SMS] is this possible? the reason being is when I receive a text I get 2 notifications now 1 from the default and one from the one I installed
try to backup the orginal and remove it.
I'll give it a go, thanks
UPDATE: so far so good ^^
can you say what are the benefits of 'Handcent SMS'?
is it so much better then the stock SE sms thing?
Yeah, I have installed a qwerty keyboard, I want to use it landscape for better typing [accuracy] but the default SMS app doesn't rotate whereas Handcent SMS does

There is no need to remove the default sms/mms application.
Go to Definitions->Sony Ericsson (1st)->Messages (Last)->Disable Notifications
(Maybe names are a little different, but my menus aren't in English)

Much better looking and some customization. Pop-Up menu, alerts, message view, groups....
Disable sms notifications: settings > Sony Ericsson > Messaging > Uncheck 'notification'.
Handcent is too good )
I use handcent too. It offers a lot of options to customise the application and works well on my mini pro.
One thing I found out reading the x10 forum is you should not uninstall the stock sms application because handcent can't deal with mms on its own. Though perhaps this issue has been addressed in recent updates of handcent. I have not yet looked into it.
But definitively disable the stock notifications.

According to the latest news on the handcent homepage, it should've been resolved

Handcent Sense 3.0 Messaging Theme

Hi, does anyone know if there is a theme for handcent that looks like the default messaging app on the EVO3D? I love the look of the lifted paper edges on the default messaging app, however love the features of handcent.
Thanks
Don't think so
Bussin Caps from my 3D shooter
not a perfect solution but if you are looking for options that give you more than the few options handcent gives you when it comes to sms bubbles... check out go sms pro and chompsms
both have several more options and most of any in some aspects more features. they both allow you to make the app look more polished and hi-res if you ask me
hope you find this helpful
I really like HTC's widget for messages. A friend recommended Go SMS Pro and it is a much better sms client. The widget they have is not as good though.

[Q] Turn off graphical smiley faces in messaging?

I tried googling but my google fu may be weak. I can't find any setting anywhere to turn off the graphical smiley faces in the Blur messaging app. Is my only choice to use a different messaging app? I'd rather not, because I prefer the stock Blur messaging app to Go (which was my favoured app on CM7). Is there any way of removing the smileys through some kind of secret settings file somewhere?
Seriously, they look ridiculous. I can't even tell what they are.

Agreed! Somebody definitely dropped the ball when they included those dumb looking smiles. I also would like to know a way to get the old graphical ones back. I'm using Handcent and they are the same so I doubt changing sms apps will do anything anyways.

Swiftkey and Google voice to text

Is it possible to use the Swiftkey keyboard and us Google voice to text at the same time. I like the Swiftkey word correction and keyboard style but I personally. Hate its voice to text

not related to swiftkey and google voice, but swype with dragon go is pretty sweet.
Only solution I've found when using an alternative keyboard is to pull down the notification when in a text input area. You should see a keyboard icon and "Select Input Method" in the Notifications.
This only lets you select the Google Voice Typing for that one instance.
I don't understand why the alternative keyboards don't allow you to select the default voice input, but it is what it is...
There's gotta be a better way but I'm having the same problem too. I love swiftkey but hate its voice to text. I've been looking for this for a couple days and posted on Android Central a out it but nothing so far. I'll come back if I find something.
Has anyone found a fix to this? I would also like to know the solution. I enjoy SwiftKey's keyboard, however, I prefer the voice-to-text feature found on Android's default keyboard...
You may want to check out AI type Keyboard Plus (similar to Swiftkey keyboard) as it uses the ICS voice to text feature as default
Do you use that? And if so have you used swiftkey 3?

Yes I use both and honestly I think the AI plus keyboard is just as good as Swiftkey. The one thing I really like about it is that the predictions bar works in almost every app, unlike Swiftkey, which only works ,at least for me, in certain apps.
There is a free version if you want to try it out
Cool I'm gonna try it out tonight. I live swiftkey but I want to use the vtt more and doing like theirs. Google definitely made theirs much better on ics.

Vote here and they will hopefully integrate voice typing from ICS/JB
