Vanilla MMS ported for non-rooted

[Skeletronix]

thanks for the info. but I am always leery of using two apps for something when one mostly does the job I want. I really like chomps but it can be slow at times and I was going to try this new app and see if it was really that much quicker if it had the quick reply. I will stick with chomp for now.

I hear ya, though sms popup is more of an add-on to the stock msg app. It really is considerably faster. I'm coming from chomp myself, which I liked, but is sooo slow to open, full of ads, and just generally laggy scrolling. You should try it out, I think you'll dig it.

Another tip concerning Parandroid Messaging.

It doesn't have an option to light the trackball for notifications, which I personally missed, so to fix this I did the following.

Enable notifications in the stock SMS app (aka Sense UI SMS that shipped with your phone), and disable notifications in Parandroid Messaging. When you bring up Parandroid for the first time after installing it and clicking on a conversation, it should ask you whether you want the stock SMS app or Parandroid to open the conversation. Select Parandroid and make it the default. When you receive a text, not only will the trackball light up, but when you click on the text in your notifications bar it will send you directly to Parandroid messaging - even though the icon is from the stock SMS app.

Try it out!

I tried it, but I realized that I could format Handcent SMS to look exactly the same, and it doesn't have the double message bug.

No double message bug on parandroid so far. And its probably twice as fast, if not more, than handcent. Again, speed is name of the game for me at least.

Oh, its the vanilla style messaging app, without the double message issue. See the previous posts for more info.
