MMS Mod to have bubble messages? - Fascinate Themes and Apps

I am looking for a mod of the mms apk to alter the look of messaging. Specifically, something that clones the bubble message look.
Not looking to theme everything, as I using a ROM I'd rather not get rid of.
Can someone lead me in the right direction?
Please and thank you!

There are plenty of sms replacement apps in the market.

Yeah, use either Handcent or Go SMS in the market. They're both great SMS replacements!

chomp is also good.
but i don't think OP means an alternate app, i think he wants the tw4 mms apk, or something more native than gosms, handecent, and chomp.
download nitrality and you should find what you are looking for!

What ROM are you running? There is a fishable zip file in the OP of the evil fascinate ROM that flashes a messaging program that has the bubbles like stock. It replaces the message app that comes with the ROM so it'll be just like stock. If you are on a TW ROM it will probably work. If I can get to a computer I'll get you the link, if not just go to the development forum and goto nitro's evil fascinate thread and it's near the bottom with all the extras. If your not on touchwiz you'll have to use a market app., good luck! Make a nandroid before messing around just in case

Stock messaging app.

Can someone post the stock messaging app apk for the captivate? I don't really feel like restoring.

I would, however the only things I can find in /system/app that are messaging related are mms.apk and mms.odex, neither of which are what I think you're looking for.

[Q] [REQ] Messaging GUI

Can any one point me to a messaging theme or skin for our device? I'm getting bored of the yellow, baby blue and gray text bubbles.
not much of a choice other than chomp or handcent. Plenty of themes to choose from with chomp. I do have to admit, i miss the swiping in the message list.

I've never heard of either of these. Thank you, I'm going to give Handcent a try.
I liked the stock messaging app on the Droid 1.
Can I just remove the bubbles and goback to the boring I had on the d1?

Yes, just use the AOSP messaging app. I know it's in JT's ROM.

(Q) Standard android/AOSP SMS

So i think one of my only gripes about the captivate right now is its inclusion of the twiz junk. I feel like the SMS app looks like it crawled out of a cartoon.
Ive searched around and am running axuras froyo right now, but does anyone know a way to get AOSP sms on the cap? Id rather not use handcent.
I dont care if its a theme or a rom. Whatever it takes.

replicate screen snapshot lock screen
love the theme just flashed it. However i have a question and im sorry if this is a really bad rookie question, but anyway. On your lock screen i see your clock and how you have the date in words rather than numbers. How do you enable that setting, i would love to have my lock screen identical to that in your screen shot. please let me know. And great work on the theme thanks

Best D3 texting apps

Hey all,
Pretty into,my new D3 so far, but I'm not thrilled with Moto's stock SMS app. I'd like to use the go or enter keys to send, and possibly a nicer looking chat thread. Maybe with pictures for the contacts. What are you guys using?

I like the stock one.. just think the send button and the new paragraph buttons should be switched.

I've been using Handcent since I first got my OG Droid and still am on the D3. It is much better than the stock app.
I've been using the CM7 MMS app

Get Handcent and the Darkness theme for it. It's money!
I use GO SMS PRO and it works well. Made my own dark theme using the theme editor. It's free and has no ads like Handcent. Plus I feel like the settings are more organized and look more stock. Handcent is a little too colorful and iPhone-y for me.
Another GoSMS user here. Loving the experience so far.

Thanks, guys. Will be trying GoSMS tonight. I tried handcent in the past, but I just didn't like the look and theming was a hassle. Keep it coming if you have any more suggestions.
Don't forget to download the Theme Maker. You can use any template and redesign the conversation windows to your likings. It's too bad it doesn't let you change everything, but find a good template to start on and you should be satisfied with the results.
I'm sorry, but Handcent looks like crap. All the themes are low res and poorly done.
I'm using CM7 2.3.5 AOSP mms
Yep

same for me, but i notice with the droid3, when i select a background image for the msg conversations my choices are
1: I chose gallery and it gives me a POS blurry image.
or 2: astro filemanager lets me crop the image but it dosnt show and it changes my home screen bg
is there any fix for this??? or has anyone found a better app?
When I type in txt the "n's" gets left out, sometimes. A "space" is in place of the N. Annoying.
Another vote for GO SMS. Also check out the Transparent Space Theme for Go Sms (And also for Go Launcher EX)

The N is right above the Space. You're probably hitting the wrong button...

Messaging apk's

I'm looking for some messaging apks that are customized and compatible with my captivate. I have the original Samsung and the stock from Gingerbread but neither allow customized colors etc. And I really despise the yellow and blue bubbles. If I'm missing something obvious let me know too. I DO NOT want to use a third party application like gosms etc.
Thanks!

If its just bubbles then simply having them themed might be a better idea?
Yeah that's not a bad idea but what I do like about OEM is all the options that are stripped from the Samsung version of the apk.
