I think it is pretty much the same. I switched back to hangouts because it seemed silly to have two apps that were so alike. I use hangouts to talk to my peeps more than I text. I am just really ready for Google to update and get the bugs out *sigh*

Go into application manager, find your original stock app and click the disable button. Hides it from your launcher and keeps it from loading usually.

Wow. I can't believe I actually forgot to do that. Thanks for reminding me I needed to!

I have gad good luck with the standard Verizon Messenger app. I like it because it allows me to send text messages over wifi. Have not found another app that does it.

I was using Messenger by Google until it slowed down on me. Texts would take forever to show up after hitting send button etc.

Now using Textra.

I too tried textra but couldn't get used to it. The VZW app is ok as I switch between that and the Samsung at times too
