    rabbims Nice. Can you explain what is smoother about it?

      when I open the messaging app, it sometimes takes a moment to refresh. For those seconds the image is unclear and contact names have to refresh, etc. (i think its because for some reason the app doesn't constantly run in the background like it should). Theres a bit of a lag. This "refresh" seems to happen less often and happens more quickly withthis version. It's a hairsbreath of a difference

        rabbims in my phone it looks like its the exalt Version, (i have exalt) plz send me a screenshot how the message+ apk looks in file manager on your phone thanks!

            I am gaving difficulty uploading the screenshots.

            If I have thr right location in file manager, the apk reads
            com.verizon.mdm.xvlte
            im pretty sure that's the one.

            there's also
            com.verizon.messaging.vzmsgs
            but I think thats the native message app that's not message+

                    I just tried your version, and faced the same issues. Worked fine except for left soft key and outer screen. Then i tried the app version pulled from the kyocera cadence, and I had an issue setting it as default app, as any choice in devloper options of the new app would bring me to its notification setting instead of the default app setting. Is there a different way to set default app, or via adb?

                    There are 2 ways.

                    The way Ive been setting the default app is by scrilloing to the end of the developer menu (takes a while) and click on "advanced options". There's a way to set the default apps there. I needed to first disable the native messaging app. That has worked for me, but maybe it's not working with your app.

                    There's a way to use ADB. I think the command is
                    settings put secure sms_default_application com.verizon.messaging.vzmsgs
                    (or whatever the package name is)

                    please let me know if it works.

                    Im curious if the Cadence version will work on exterior screen

                        rabbims That worked to set as default, but still have the same issues as before, message button, and exterior screen dont work

                          Flippy No just the icon is a way to know it, it could be incorrect sometimes so idk

                            rabbims Well When you can plz send the screenshot, if you have Computer i can tell you how to send it

                                I'm still having difficulty uploading image. Interestingly, the icon that Flippy showed doesn't show up in my phone.

                                I checked on a few other phones, the Exalt version is 6.4.3
                                Kyocera Cadence and DuraXV phones have v6.4.5
                                the version I uploaded before is v6.4.4

                                don't know if that helps - might not be acurate

                                    rabbims take screenshot, transfer to your pc, upload to here
                                    [Login to see the link]
                                    and then share the link
                                    What does yours show? blank icon?

                                      theres also another problem vith version 6.4.5 on the dura xv extreme because you cant subscribe to message plus

                                        Subscribing means that all of the messages should show up on your other devices that are signed in. There's a problem with subscribing.
                                        The problem is only oneway, however.

                                        All of the messages from my phone show up on my other device (iphone). I can respond from there. even though I am not "subscribed". But the messages I send from the other phone don't show up on my flip. It's not a critical problem for me. But it's annoying.

                                        Flippy hmmm if thats on kyocera then thats the Exalt Version of message+, The icon on kyocera is a Box, this one is also a box but not a complete Box...

                                          Interesting. Do you have the Kyocera version?

                                            The 3rd one on the list is from a Kyocera. I just pulled it off my Kyocera cadence myself and transferred the file. It is not from the exalt

                                              if i take the app off a dura xv and install it on the extreme do i have to motify it?
