Handcent? Where did it go?

[BlackAudiA5]

Can't seem to find Handcent on the Play Store. All the plugins are there but not the SMS app. Is there a better texting app that you would suggest?
Thanks.

chompSMS. I used Handcent for a long time, but switched to chompSMS and love it...it also has a ton of customization potential. Another good one (I think by same developer) is Textra (I think of that as a "lighter" version of chompSMS).

See https://www.facebook.com/handcent

Handcent SMS has temporarily been suspended on Play store due to a false copyright complaint. We’ll try our best to get it back on play store ASAP. At the meantime, we’ll still update the app regularly on our homepage Handcent. We’ll provide apk directly on the webpage, you need to allow unknown sources for the apk to install. (go to settings->security->turn on Unknown sources) Play Store availability should be restored soon as a new app. Thanks!

So you can download the apk here: Handcent

I went to the actual site and was told that the .apk file could be dangerous. I'm not THAT in love with Handcent... so for now we're trying Textra. If that doesn't work we'll try CHOMP. Thanks
