My Galaxy S5 ran an update today and now the header color in the messaging is burnt F'ing orange and I can not figure out how to change it.

For the love of God, please tell me how to fix this. No answer on the Android Forum:
Android Central - Orange is Ugly

Not the problem. It is the default color now in Messenger.

Another vote for textra. You can change the color from lots of options, though there isn't a true maroon to pick from, if that's your thing.

So textra is the best SMS app now? I've been wanting to switch from Handcent to something better.

Root it, then install another ROM. That way you can really get it to your liking.

IMO it has been for a couple of years now.

Does it integrate hangouts? I probably do 90% of messaging through google hangouts.

There is no alternative to Textra, unless you're < 17 and like colorful, busy themes in your apps.

Same here, especially since the new Handcent update has ads they place at the top. That was the final straw for me.

Have no idea. I don't use hangouts.

Thanks, the orange was making me think the same thing. Textra seems great so far.

You can't. My S6 is running lollipop and everything has it's own menu color. The messaging one is orange. The settings one is blue etc etc. I don't know about the S5 but the S6 has different themes you can download and that changed the color of everything. That would probly be your best bet.

You Textra it's way better.

Oh and you should have gotten an iphone. They won't let you change things but they aren't tu colors.

The default color in the native calendar ap is effing burnt orange as well...I switched to the google calendar, but the icon always displays 31 instead of the actual day......

... and my messaging app is tan.

You'd think google would get this kind of simple stuff figured out but they're slowly becoming Microsoft....

FIFY

Edit: Nevermind, I just noticed that the color change was built into lollipop, not the Samsung overlay. That being said, I never noticed because I've used Textra for years, currently on my HTC M8 running stock lollipop. At least they still aren't apple: we have choices for texting apps.

that and I'm on an lg phone.

When I swipe to delete an e-mail in gmail I get that ugly burt orange color again..... Can we also talk about the circle, triangle, and square buttons that were introduced with lollipop? Did the apple maps team move to Google?

Stop looking for pictures of Matthew McConaughey shirtless. That should clear it up.

Does Textra send text via wifi? I am on Verizon and recently switched from Handcent to Verizon Messages because it sends via wifi and it has a desktop text app. I work from home and have AWFUL service where I live so being able text via wifi is gold to me.

This is a Samsung messaging app, right?

The default color for Google Messenger is blue, although you can change it for each person you talk to.

Okay I've been using Textra for a couple days now and I'm pissed I didn't switch to this sooner. They did a phenomenal job on the UI with it.

This will be on the pull-down menu if and when the G3 gets lollipop. Alternatively, you can install any number of widgets for the flashlight:

Here's an app I used before I flashed lollipop: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devuni.flashlight&hl=en

Nope. I've had Lollipop on my AT&T G3 for several weeks and there is no native flashlight widget.

There should be. How did you manage to turn it off? http://phandroid.com/2014/11/20/android-lollipop-tips-and-tricks/2/

I dunno, maybe it's a feature in a later build of Android, or maybe it's something LG or the carrier can turn off. I'm running stock 5.0.1 on a rooted phone, so I'm not sure.
