Best Texting App Alternative

[Arcadias1795]

Hi all,

I've been searching for an SMS app to replace the laggy and buggy stock Messaging app. I want one that syncs with Facebook the way the stock one does, though. I have been unable to find one that does that yet. I don't want Facebook chat sync, but the contact sync so my Facebook friends' pictures are available on their contact when I go to text them using whatever texting alternative. Also, it would be nice if there's an option to turn off the screenwake in said alternative.

Thanks for any future help!

The pictures from Facebook are not showing on my contacts in Textra. I even re-synced Facebook to make sure. Is there some special setting?
