SMS for Nexus 7

あなたのネクサス7（3G / LTE）デバイスからテキスト

***Android Marshmallow (6.0) users***: it looks like you can finally use normal SMS apps, so this app is no longer essential for Marshmallow.

Since you are here, you probably noticed that on the Nexus 7 3G/LTE edition, you can't send/receive SMS messages, hindering the ability for many to subscribe/change options on various prepay providers.

You can now finally send and receive SMS messages from your Nexus 7 tablet! (as long as it has a SIM and a carrier plan with included texts, of course)

No root access required, just stock Android.

Permissions required:

• notification access: to read incoming SMS message notifications

• send SMS: obvious

• read contacts: to choose a phone number from the contact list/search

• read phone state: needed because of android bug #81758

• read profile: to access your profile picture

Known to work on:

• Nexus 7 LTE (2013)

• Nexus 7 3G (2012) (thanks Emad Zolqadr)

Known limitations:

• Multipart SMS show up as different messages (Android issue)

Let me know if it helps you with other devices!
