This SMS app looks pretty good. Based on the stock android sms app and you have a dark theme option! :D

I tried it - hmm didn't like the whole sliding thing, the messages were in some weird order too and not many customization options. Has some great potential with updates though.


I'm using an old version of GO SMS Pro 4.39 with KXNT ICS Theme 1.6.2:

Yeah it still needs some work and apparently the order of the messages broke with the last update, it "should" show the most recent SMS first instead of dropping it further down :p

Not too fussed on the sliding method either, although it is pretty neat, he needs to give an option to disable it all together and just use the normal way though, however, not too sure if he will, given the name of the app :p :(

Not keen on go etc. as there are too many features, which I personally don't need although it is definitely the best if you want to have full control of customisation.

When it comes to SMS (and dialer) apps, I just like something basic/simple with a few options to choose from for the theme. Also really like the below sms app but very slow updates and even more limited so I don't use it, shame as it has a proper holo theme:

Wish the ex dialer developer would hurry up and release his SMS app! :p

Cool app, pushes any file you want straight from your computer to your device. Also great for sending notes, addresses or creating lists in your notification drawer. A bit like chrometophone but for files and better.

From that app description -

Ever notice that it's easy for other people to get things on your phone (by email, text message, etc), but if you want to get something on your own phone, it can be a real pain?

Erm, no. I have Dropbox...
 
I'm now pretty much addicted to super haxagon... I was sat playing it on my phone while my housemate played it on my tablet screaming and cursing for a good half hour... It's like the impossible game with more style and better music.

GO SMS is :cool: - I use the older version as I don't like the 'improvements' they made with the newer ones.

I would love to see a sms app by the exdialer team - I use exdialer and love the options and use an old ICS theme.

Which ics theme do you use? Think I am using the black ics theme.

ICS theme v12. It's an old one that has the graduated grey to black background. It's now been updated to all black which I don't prefer.

I'll email you the apk 2moro if you want.

EDIT - Sent you 3 APK's mate.

Thanks again for the apk's kona, really liking the old version of go sms with that theme! :) Looks sooooo much better on the phone due to the SAMOLED goodness and true black levels :cool:

Not keen on the ex dialer ICS theme though :p
