Alternative to Google's "Messages" app (for SMS) on Android? (play-lh.googleusercontent.com)

Does anyone know of an open-source alternative to Google's "Messages" app, which takes care of SMS/text messages on my phone?

I was looking for open-source alternatives on PlayStore and F-Droid but can't really find anything – most apps seem to target some extra purpose than simply handling SMSs.

(Edit: I'd like to stay away from the "Simple Mobile Tools" line because I don't know if it's open source, and I don't like the way they promoted some apps – forcing users to update to pro and similar.)

Cheers!

I personnaly use QKSMS. It's available on F-Droid and it's quite nice

Not Op, but thanks for the recommendation. I've got chomp right now. It's all right, but I don't really love it
