It's not glamorous, and doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but I can send and receive texts on my nexus 7 now. And it has never crashed or hung on me. That's worth five stars in my book.

About this app

***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)
