I just picked up my G3 and was wondering what messaging app everyone is using? I've been using the stock one but am not really a big fan of how it looks or works. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I just use stock. I've never been crazy about messaging apps. Stock works fine.

I used to use handcent but I don't use it anymore. I downloaded this Evolve and like it quite a bit.

Went from Go SMS Pro to Handcent to Evolve. Evolve is the best of those by far.... Very far.

Textra. I tried using the default app but didn't use it long because it sucks.

I don't know that I minded the stock messaging app so much,I just wanted to be able to change lg colors of my text bubbles. I took a quick run through evolve and textra, but I couldn't really change the colors the way I wanted until I found Chomp, and I like it. It's simple and you can make your own color theme in minutes.
Anyone using Chimp feel free to hit me up about sharing themes. I made two I like so far.

Evolve was the best for me because it allowed custom colors for everything (great theme support) and was compatible with Pushbullet.

Hello sms is also a nice clean sms app

I didn't mind the stock app but the color choices are pretty weak. I tried hangouts, but to be honest I hate the google integration with SMS. From the recommendations here I've gone with Textra and the TouchPal keyboard, love the dark look.
