Handcent, does it work?

ChompSMS is the only one that worked with Lightflow for SMS alerts. When they added adds I went back to stock.

It's already been updated for ICS. I've used it since I got the device and that's never happened to me.

Handcent works with Lightflow for me. It does a great job of controlling my led.

The stock messaging app is ugly as it has ever been. Handcent works great and offers themes which in by itself makes it better..I prefer the iPhone texting look so I have that theme installed.

totally agree with you.

So let me get this straight: Handcent makes the thread sort of look like the iPhone's SMS app, with the bubble things for each person? I like that look (my wife has an iPhone). I also like the iPhone's notification of new txts on the homescreen. Does Handcent do that too? Just curious.

There is a pop up notification available as well. You can even respond to the message via the pop up if I recall correctly.

+1 For Handcent use. I've used it since the days of my Incredible 1. I use it on the Nexus because of the customization options. There are so many options it's not even funny.
I use the Darkness theme to keep battery use low. The LED customization actually works. You can set set colors and flash speed contact specifically. If you hate the pop ups, disable them. I tried GoSMS for a while, but ended up back with Handcent for a reason I now forget.

FWIW, I have had no compatibility issues with the application and the device/OS. I'm running AOKP Milestone 4, and francokernel 3.0.8 milestone 1.

Yes, and you can separately customize the colors of incoming/outgoing bubbles, backgrounds, fonts, etc.
