[Q] Hangout or stock SMS? - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is better between hangout and stock SMS app in Moto E? or anything else?
I had Canvas A92 before, on that Hangout didn't work properly so I have to use the stock SMS. That's why don't know much about the hangout.

I prefer the stock messaging (or a third party app) over Hangouts. I simply don't want to mix my IMs and SMS. Apart from that, I find the Hangout UI ugly..

same here I too use stock sms app instead of hangout

The stock messaging app is way better than Hangouts...PERIOD.

Stock is great!

simply stay in stock

I tried a good number of 3rd party apps. The one that uses less RAM and looks awesome, and works well is ChompSMS.
I'm using that only for some time now. Do have a look at it!

Stock messaging app or any other 3rd party app (like 8sms). Avoid Hangouts like the plague!

Stock messenger and mail apps

If I install go messenger and enhanced email can I freeze the stock messenger and email apps in titanium or will that screw up my phone? Thx!

GO Messenger, and other similar 3rd party apps, still require the core app to function. GO is just an interface. So you don't want to do anything to the stock app.
Enhanced Email though is its own stand alone app. So you should be fine to freeze the stock one.

You can just turn off notifications if they are bothering you.

Tnx, for the mails i wanted to find an app that permit to have a lot of mail account (like hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc) in the same app... Do you know something, guys?
You can search Play Store. You'll find something you like there rather than ask others for suggestions. Try K-9 mail.

[Q] Any chance of 4.2 messaging ported to DNA?

Hi,
I saw in the dev forum that the Camera, clock and keyboard from 4.2 have been pulled over and can be installed on the DNA. I was wondering if its feasible (even possible) to do the same for the messaging app. One of the big features of 4.2 (in my mind, having many iPhone friends) is the group chat threading baked into stock message app.
I realize there are 3rd party apps (Go SMS and Handcent) and that I can use them, I just think it would be nice to have that feature with the "stock" message app (stock from 4.2 in this case).
Thanks!
oh, my first post too (just got DNA today)
Doesn't threaded group chat work on the stock HTC app...

I get threaded group chat on stock? if we are talking about the same thing.
Anyways, have you tried the AOSP apk? it might just work?
The stock HTC messaging app 100% has group messaging like the iPhone. I use it every day for group projects in school.
Does the 4.2 messaging app even have native group messaging?
Also, the stock HTC messaging app kind of blows beyond this. It's beautiful, but its redraws are the most annoying thing about this phone. There is no reason that a quad core, 2GB RAM phone should have redraws in a simple messaging application.

I agree. The redraws drive me nuts and I always try other messaging apps but end up back on the stock HTC one.
The stock messaging app does have group messaging. I would rather have the stock Android messaging app though. I'm just not crazy about the htc one. It would be awesome if we could get a stock one that works really good with mms too.
The Update date ? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I need a group messaging fix!

Every time I send a group message, it comes out as Anonymous. Also if I send a message to a different group it would still be under the Anonymous thread. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
I'm guessing you are using an international base rom. There is no fix, and I just recommend switching SMS if you need it that bad, like gosms

I use other apps for group messaging.
if you use fb a lot you can just integrate your sms into the app.
It really depends, but I think most people now use a few SMS apps... but it changes so frequently depending on the app popularity.

Sliding Messaging is a nice replacement and the Dev seems very very dedicated to updating and upgrading it.

Group Texting

Hi all,
I noticed that the native messaging app does not support actual group texting. I dislike using hangouts, but it seems it is the only way to actually send a group mms, and continue responding in the same thread. Are there any tweaks, mods, or simply settings that I am missing that could help me out? May not be necessary, but better safe to mention that I am on the latest MeanBean and the kernel attached to it, with S-ON and hboot 1.15
Thanks in advance!

I don't believe you can with the stock messaging app. I use Textra from the play store and it does group messaging and it's free. Customizable as well.
