Messenger woes

First let me say that I'm in my 50s and new to smart phones. I also have a vision issue, and my question is related to that specifically.

I've got a Note 4 which just upgraded to Android 5.01 from 4.4.4 four days ago. So far all seems well with one major exception.

In 4.4.4 I had the messages app setup so the display bubbles used the entire width of the screen, the font size huge, and my primary texting contacts displayed at the top of the app's start screen. This was really convenient and easy for me to use.

Since 5.01 upgrade I cannot display my primary contacts at the top, and there is no bubble display setting that uses the entire width of the screen. Thus, initiating a text requires a search of my contacts, and the text display tends toward one word lines. Not convenient and not easy to read.

Please tell me how to fix this, or suggest an app to replace v5 Messeges.
