        Any more info about Message+ on the DuraXV Extreme? Any more info would be helpful. Like does anyone know if anyone has gotten it to work with the messaging key? I know in Lakewood there is a guy that does it, anyone know how well it works?

        I gave up. Message+ works so much better on the older Dura XV LTE (e4610) so I just switched to that phone. On the e4610 and the cadence, the messages also show up in little letters on the top of the screen, which wouldn't work on the Extreme.

        If someone knows how to make it all work well I'd be thankful too.

        Also looking for a way to install messages+ on the E4810, so that it runs like the system app (Shows on back screen, correct notification light, etc.)

          I asked and looked around a lot and I have not found anyone who knows how to do that, sorry. Someone said there is someone in Lakewood who knows how but I have not been able to get any more info. If anyone knows, please post info. Thanks

                        I just found this website today and installed the 6.4.4 version from this thread on my DuraXV Extreme E4810. It works fine for me. I copied the APK through OpenMTP, and then opened the APK on the phone to install it (Dev mode needed to be on to allow unknown sources). When I first opened it it kept crashing right away. I started pressing the middle button repeatedly and quickly each time I opened the app. That would close the crash window and the Message+ permissions request would then show. After a few times of allowing the various permissions, it now runs perfectly as the default messaging app.

                        It doesn't replace the Messages app. Message+ is located in Settings-Business Tools-Messages+. I set one of the programmable keys to open it.

                            awer25 Nice. Can you link to the specific download that you used?

                            awer25 it now runs perfectly as the default messaging app

                            In what way is it default Can you use the messaging soft key to access?
                            Also can you see the message preview on outer screen?

                                  Flippy I doubt it, he said the regular messages is still there, doesn't seem to be breaking any new ground.

                                    Flippy I'll try to find the link, I'm on a different computer today and the links I see in this thread don't seem to be what I recall. I know the APK had Kyocera in the file name and the app shows v.6.4.4 on the phone - the file name wasn't the generic "VZMessages.apk". It is probably this link b/c the post says 6.4.4, although the file name shows 6.4.3: [Login to see the link]

                                    Edit: It is this link above^^

                                    I meant it's the default in that new messages go to the Message+ app and not to the old Messages app. Messages doesn't open anymore without crashing. However the right softkey still shows Messages, and Message+ does not show notifications on the outer screen. I mapped Message+ to the Up nav button and use it that way. I believe the LED does blink orange when there's an unread message.

                                        Is there any way to install any other messaging app and have it work like the default messaging, ie. right soft key, notifications, etc.
                                        Doesn't have to be message plus, just something more functional than the current app.

                                          if you use button mapper which you can download with apk pure app store (button-mapper I downloaded from apps for flip didn't work on my e4810) (apk-pure u can download from apk-pure website) then u can set the right soft key for message plus when u double tap on the soft key or long press. Button mapper lets u set 3 different functions for each button, one for single tap one for double ta,p, and one for long press (you might need the mouse app and switchboard to use apk pure app-store,) or you can install a different messaging app and set the right soft key the same way for that app And disable the regular messaging app by going to advanced settings by dev options and then going to apps and notification and when you go to regular messaging press disable if not every time you single tap the right soft when u r by the home screen it will come up then crash

                                              moshe1 Then you can never use the soft key in any menu because it always pulls up the messages app, instead of the action its supposed to do. Makes the phone sort of unusable.

                                                actually I set it with button mapper for double tap and single tap stays for default function
