How can I get the old Emojis or Kik-style Emojis on my updated GoSMS Pro?
Okay, I use GoSMS Pro for my SMS, and I use SwiftKey for my keyboard. GoSMS just updated because of a "copyright issue" with their emojis, and now the only emojis available aren't really ideal for me. I am fairly new to Android and I have no idea how all of these installable "Emoji plugins" interfac...
Okay, I use GoSMS Pro for my SMS, and I use SwiftKey for my keyboard. GoSMS just updated because of a "copyright issue" with their emojis, and now the only emojis available aren't really ideal for me.
I am fairly new to Android and I have no idea how all of these installable "Emoji plugins" interface with my keyboard and/or GoSMS or other third-party SMS apps.
**Here are my main questions:**
1. Does anyone know of an Emoji pack that mimics the default Emoji style of Kik?
2. Do I *have* to use Emojis from GoSMS/by their developer as a plugin?
3. Will my downloaded Emoji plugins interface with SwiftKey and show to others I send SMS to the same as they look to me?
**TL;DR Ultimately I just want to pick a set of Emojis and have it work with SwiftKey and GoSMS. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it! :)**

Long texts not sending; if I set my phone to split them up, some don't go through
I have a Droid RAZR and I'm on Verizon, and when I try to send a text that's over 2x160 characters to another Verizon phone, it usually doesn't send. In the message details, my phone says "Received", but the other person doesn't get the text. This has been happening for a while, but it's only gotten...
I have a Droid RAZR and I'm on Verizon, and when I try to send a text that's over 2x160 characters to another Verizon phone, it usually doesn't send. In the message details, my phone says "Received", but the other person doesn't get the text. This has been happening for a while, but it's only gotten bad recently - before, I would have to reach 5x160 characters in order for it not to send. Texts sent to non-Verizon phones seem to send fine.
To try to get around it, I set my SMS app (I use GoSMS) to always split up my messages. What happens now is that some of the messages in the batch don't go through, regardless of the number of messages.
I would ideally like to not need to have my phone set to split my messages automatically, and be sure that long messages are going through. How can I do this?

How can I Have Separate Alerts for Email and SMS?
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 4.2.2. Currently both SMS and Email notifications have the same sound. Before I was on this phone I was on an iPhone and this was easy to change.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 4.2.2. Currently both SMS and Email notifications have the same sound. Before I was on this phone I was on an iPhone and this was easy to change. I cannot find a way to distinguish between alerts.
In browsing this site for an answer I came across this question which had this answer:
> You can customize the Notification settings for both Gmail and Messaging in each of the apps separately.
>
> In Gmail press menu and go to More->Settings and look at the Notification settings section.
>
>In Messaging press menu then Settings and look at the Notification settings section.
I assume this answer is out-of-date because it doesn't work on the Galaxy S4.
I am using the Stock Gmail App for email and I use GO SMS PRO for messaging.
How do I change to separate alerts?

What is the downside of using GO SMS Pro and / or Handcent?
All I've been seeing about these apps are the positives. I want to know the negatives of using them, apart from me having to install an additional app to do something that the phone can already do by default. I'm looking to using one of the two because of the built in support for backing up SMS and...
All I've been seeing about these apps are the positives. I want to know the negatives of using them, apart from me having to install an additional app to do something that the phone can already do by default. I'm looking to using one of the two because of the built in support for backing up SMS and MMS, something that will come in very handy especially since I text often.

Go Sms Pro: "Too many unsent multimedia messages" error

Every time I try to send a Multimedia message using Go Sms Pro , I get a
toast message saying: "Can't send message right now. There are too many unsent multimedia messages"
This doesn't happen when I send something through gomms (which is really only good for sending to other people with smartphones), and it doesn't happen when I use any other sms/mms client (like handcent or the default sms client). It only happens when trying to send an MMS message with Go SMS pro.
How can I get this to work? I would have thought that if this was a global bug issue, that it would have been fixed by now, so I am guessing that there is something I need to set/reset. What do I do to fix this?

Disable GO SMS Pro weekly nag messages

About once a week, GO SMS Pro "receives" (I don't know if it comes from somewhere or if it's written into the application) a nag message from "c10000@go.chat" along the lines of:
> Most of users loves GO SMS Pro because of themes. Thinking of cool & stylish messaging experience? Try out another bestseller: ColorGlass Theme (Apply it through menu->theme)
It's extremely annoying. I believe I've logged out of GO Chat (though it tends to log itself back in without asking and won't stay disconnected), and have tried going through the app's settings multiple times without finding any way to kill these notifications. They're driving me batty.

Manually changing shared_prefs and forcing app to update to it?

I've been trying to figure out if it's possible to disable/enable GO SMS popup notifications via something like Tasker. I came across the following line in
/data/data/com.jb.gosms/shared_prefs/com.jb.gosms_preferences.xml:
It would seem that I could just flip that to false, but GO SMS doesn't see that (and it actually rewrites the shared_prefs file it looks like). Is there a way to force GO SMS to re-read this shared_prefs file?
I am rooted and am pretty comfortable with shell commands as well as Tasker; I would think that any solution would require one of the above. (Tasker can fire Activities or broadcast intents.)

What is the path where GoSMS stores the SMS messages
How say the title I can't find where the sms are stored. I see this [similar question][1] but the replies haven't helped me.

How say the title I can't find where the sms are stored.
I see this similar question but the replies haven't helped me.
I have gosms and I want delete all messages, but if I do this option with gosms the app crashes because are a lot of messages (about 6000).
I found:
./data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/mmssms.db
./data/data/com.jb.gosms/databases/gommssms.db
But are too small files (a few kb) and with text reader I saw that they contained only some queries. Also when I deleted them if I open gosms I still see all messages. So what is the real path of sms?
Edit:
After a reboot gosms can't find sms anymore, so my problem is solved (
though probably the real sms are still stored somewhere)

A weird thing happened to me today. I received an SMS and upon opening it from the notification bar on top, my SMS are all gone. I didn't even get to read the message. I have my SMS backed-up from a week ago so it's not much of an issue. But then how can this possibly happen? I am using GoSMS and CyanogenMod 7.2 btw. Any thoughts on what could've caused this?
**Update**
Okay now 5 days later, all my contacts have disappeared on it's own. I wasn't doing anything at all. I just notice my contacts are all gone. I did re-sync from Google and they're all back but what could possibly cause that?

Now I plugin the charger then I check my SMS, they're all gone.
I've been this before (being cut off during boot) no major problem and it's only now that my SMS messages are suddenly gone.
Any ideas how to fix this and what probably caused it?

GO SMS conversation grouping by number, not contact
I installed GO SMS pro today and it looks good, but there is one thing that is a deal breaker for me.

I installed GO SMS pro today and it looks good, but there is one thing that is a deal breaker for me.
Some of the people I know use different numbers (grouped under one contact) to text me, however when I open GO SMS conversations aren't grouped by contact, but instead it looks like they are grouped by number (3 separate conversation threads for one contact).
Is there any way to group them by contact? This is how the default messaging app works (conversations grouped by contact, reply goes to last number used from the conversation).
