Is there a download that you can use to text that replaces the built in stuff on a phone that anyone would recommend? I'm kind of "meh" about the offerings on my HTC One.

i have used Handcent SMS for all of my texting needs for as long as I've had a smartphone...

Edit:
Looks like it's multi-platform now too

I picked up Handcent on Midgen's recommendation back when I was using an HTC phone. It was a nice improvement.

I've found it unnecessary since migrating to a Nexus device with stock Android, because the stock texting app is inoffensive and functional.

I DL the Handcent and like it so far. Only thing I haven't been able to figure out yet is how to change the font. I DL a few of the font packs already.
