Message app on KK - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I know that KitKat only allows to have one message app that will send sms. But is there any way to overide this? On JB I used 3 apps, I like to send messages with stock LG app, read messages and replaying htem with HoverChat when I'm in app, and I have "mysms" app, to send and recive messages from my PC, now I must just choose one of this options which is very uncomfortable. Is there any way to "fix" this?

Take a look at the 26C3 page there is a interesting talk about SMS «Fuzzing the Phone in your Phone»
Do you found any answer to this question, anywhere else ? I am using HushSMS for windows Molbile and look for the equivalent for Android.
I downloaded Flash SMS from the market and it does not work at all
Stock ROM doesn't provide API required for "special" SMS sending (ability to create whole sms body as byte array)
Yes, you can send this SMS with rooted Android via this app - https://www.silentservices.de/products/android-hushsms/
And yes, you can log incoming Silent SMS with this app https://github.com/CellularPrivacy/Android-IMSI-Catcher-Detector/wiki/Special-SMS
Silent SMS/Ping app for Android (no root)
I've used this app for years and been pretty happy with it so far. It can be used on Android phones and does NOT require phone to be rooted to work and it's free.

[Q] Is there an app to remove old text messages?

I know the stock Messaging app has an option to remove text messages over xxx messages but it doesn't work. I have 700+ text messages with some of my contacts and I'd like something to automatically remove all the messages over 200, i.e. I'd like no more than 200 texts per contact.
Anyone know of a program that will do this?
Handecent
try handecent sms, I think that It has this feature, I cant check at the moment. But iirc it does.
I tried posting a link but I dont have more than 10 posts so I cant. It should be easy to find.
hope this helps. Either way its a great app.
go sms pro has a remove old messages feature. its pretty good actually. plus its free of charge!

[Q] KitKat bug: SMS sent from non-default app results in duplicate outgoing message

Using GlowFly, SMS Enhancer, and SMS Popup (all similar apps), and their Quick Reply feature, stock messaging and Chomp both show the same message going out twice (the recipient actually receives one message).
I believe this is because of KitKat's new requirement of a default SMS app being the only one that can send. However, Quick Reply circumvents it, and I think it results in this bug.
Anyone know what I can do to fix it? I love the feature.
Thanks!
Please let me know if this is not the right forum.

Messaging App

Need help with finding a messaging app that works the way I want it to. I just recently updated my note 2 to 5.1. My old messenger App allowed me to send a text to multiple recipients without it being a group text. I find group texts to be highly annoying. I have tried about 20 apps on 5.1 and I have found that all of them but the verizon app make it so whenever you send a picture it automatically converts it into a group MMS messenger. On verizon you have to manually change it every time. So my question is if there is a way to send picture messages as solo texts to multiple recepients. Is their an app that will allow me to do that by default.
I have turned off settings such as send as MMS etc. The issue is picture messages are already MMS and therefore that setting does not affect it and it still sends as group.
Please help.
i typically want mine to send out as a group so never checked this on my current sms app.. but right now i'm using Textra. Has all the features I want and is very stable and reliable.

MIUI Messages app on BB Keyone? Is there a way to make it work?

Is there any way to get MIUI messages app running on a BB Keyone?
I need the keyboard for my work phone but the stock android messages app is horrible. It doesn't let me send group SMS (text messages). Xiaomi's messaging app is amazing in this regard, as it lets me send group messages via SMS and even shows the group message in the individual conversation.
Is there any way to make this work?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
