Messaging apps

Posted on 15:22 by Unknown
  Well another week has gone by in this new year, I hope you are having success with your resolutions! If one of your resolutions was to keep in touch with family and friends I hope you got a new device from US Cellular with free incoming text, voice, and picture messages! And if you are like me you don't like the stock messaging app that came with your Android powered smartphone from US Cellular (or any other carrier for that matter).
  I have tried several from Handcent to Go SMS Pro, to the stock AOSP based Android 4.1 JB Messaging SMS. But today I found my new favorite Sliding Messaging, and in as much as I like the vanilla (AOSP) this one fits perfectly as it is a minimialstic look and feel.


 Easily manage text messages in a new and up to date format compliant with the Android design guidelines and visually based on the stock messaging app from Google, with added features.
Features:
- Easily switch between conversations by dragging out the sliding menu on the left side of the screen.
- Start a new conversation by sliding out the menu on the right side of the screen
- Manage old messages with a single click
- Choose between light and dark themes
- Emoji support
- Adjust text size and control notifications and theme though settings
- Quick reply popup
- Multi-window support for Galaxy Note
- Light Flow support (will be active once Light Flow has been updated)
Please note: As of now, this is just a basic messaging app with a great layout and simple features. Currently, MMS is not supported, but it may be added in the future along with other feature requests, please sound off in the comments of what you would like to see in future versions!
If you are having problems receiving notifications, you may need to uninstall 3rd party messengers such as Go SMS.
When using this app, do not disable the stock messaging app as I use it to permanently save messages to the phone. You can however, disable notifications for it so that you don't receive 2 of them.

If you have any questions about this or any other messaging app, US Cellular service, or Android in general feel free to contact me through Google+, or in the comments of this blog.
