Lg g2 stock SMS or Hangouts?

[LisaB93]

One feature I love about my lg g2 is the led indicator..having the ability to set different colors for different contacts with the stock SMS.
Does it work the same with Hangouts or a third party SMS app? Or would I lose the different colors?

I don't believe Hangouts has that option built in. Not sure about the other third party SMS apps.

You are correct. I played around with Hangouts and it doesn't work.

Sounds like a cool feature. I'd stick to the app if it's that useful

Would you mind sharing how you do that "LED per contact" thing?

I prefer Textra to both of them. Not only can you assign a different color light but you can also change the notification sound for each contact. I have a couple of friends who can't wait for an answer. They might send 10 texts before I answer the first one. Becomes pretty annoying after a while. So I put the notification sound for them to SILENT lol.

you can open up contacts,open the contact you want,push the edit button,scroll down and change the notification color. But like my other post you can't change the sound. I use Textra because not only can I change the color but also the sound of each

I have the LG G2(D800), rooted with the G3 rom. Everything "stock" works great, and i actually like some of the "new look" stock apps better than the ones from the G2.

I will check out texted. It seems popular
