Anyone like the stock messaging app? I personally like the UI but it is missing so much functionality. I use textra instead

I use 8sms, it works like the messaging app from cyanogen.

I use hangouts now as well. Though there was nothing wrong with the stock messaging app, I just figured if hangouts has the SMS capabilities why not use it.

I would use hangouts but I don't like the emojis. I use Handcent for the emojis and the many other features.

Textra is the BALLS.

I use Verizon's Text App. Pretty good and it syncs with my tablet.

And it has pretty cool emojis also, plus it's pretty customizable.

I use hangouts as well. I have a lot of friends using hangouts so I just integrated my SMS into it. Had a few bugs but it seems to have worked itself out with updates.

Don't mind hangouts, but I don't like that the message doesn't work with active notifications.

Active notifications works fine.

If I use hangouts, and receive a message, the screen turns on, but when I press the unlock button it does not show a hangout icon or message preview.

Something is not right on your phone. My active notifications works, hangout icon and all.

Settings->Active notifications->Manage notification types. Is Hangouts checked?

[brockpsu]

That setting was not checked, I'm going to try it out now! Thanks!
One other question, any way to set it so the default picture is not Google+, but Facebook?
