Great app !

I've looked for something to help me go back to MIUI SMS app but it's notification just kept me away, now i got it back !

I think the "unlock" button is not necessary when the keyguard is off...

and i think you should try and add a "quick reply" field built in the popup !

Thanks !

BTW

1. When clicking on "test notification", there is no POPUP, maybe it's a bug ?

2. I wasn't able to change the default background image,every time i changed it the popup appeared with the default background image.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroManArmy:
I'm gonna give this a test out now. I'll post later what I think.
[Android Apps and Games] jsgraphicart:
I love it
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroManArmy:
Okay, so testing out, its basically a better version of SMS Popup which I have been using. Though you are more likely to listen to people and actually do more for the app.

All in all, I like it better than SMS Popup.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I like this so much better than the one i'm currently using but this doesn't have the features I'm accustomed from chomp sms such as the pull down to see recent texts and a quick compose shortcut.

If it's possible to add these, I'll definitely use this. I love how you can change the background of the pop up. That's pretty sweet.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
hey guys, well thanks for all the feedback i will try implement all this featrues, i have been pretty busy on my work, i really need an ICS device to keep testing new apis :( emulator suck hard lol

well now im realsing the version 1.5

you can set the transparency level of the SMS popup (more than 30% will be the same because you will see NOTHING!!!!!) (Additional settings)

added some transition effects (ICS)

when you press back button you can have now the option to mark all messages as read (Default notification settings)

Im working on Google voice, but i found a little difficult, believe me i spent all my nights reading i need rest, but google voice dont have any api, so i need try to use another "open source apis" and some are not playing well or some cant used for the things that i want. anyways i will try

i will keep developing more features from the people that actually send me a email, or what im reading here, or issues on the code.google page.

and if you enjoy my app you can try use the plus version, or try recommend my app since i have low downloads :(

anyways any thoughts or issues let me know

thanks to all :)

Edited:

TODO (for now)

Google voice (since still its a beta and i cant have this service on my country i cant promise anything, but im trying)

long press search button to quick reply pop up (how about this, who want this)

other features posted here, i will try xD

ZeN KuN
[Android Apps and Games] bso44:
That would be awesome. This is the best SMS notification app I've used by far.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
me too, i need to start from scratch because my old code was deleted :(
[Android Apps and Games] jsgraphicart:
Hey Zen. I was just curious if you are done with this app.
[Android Apps and Games] .Bambino:
Anyone have a updated our mirror?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
well since i dont know Chinese i cant do much, perhaps if you want help me with translation, me and all chinese will apreciate :)
[Android Apps and Games] jsgraphicart:
I just updated the app. I like the transparency effect. I know it probably wasnt just an easy tweak but is there a way to just make the background transparent instead of the popup box as a whole? For example, it would be nicer if you left the box outline, contact picture, buttons and text fully visible and just made the background able to be transparent. the lower you go in transparency, the harder it is to even see the popup. Which kind of defeats the purpose. I love the animations you added. This app is coming along great.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroManArmy:
I love the scrolling feature when we have multiple messages!
[Android Apps and Games] jsgraphicart:
+1
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
thanks :)

the funny thing seems like no one likes popup lol, i have a really few downloads o.O

oh well xD
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Alot of users use 3rd party SMS apps that have pop ups built in. This maybe the reason for your low downloads.
[Android Apps and Games] Shermanballz:
I agree. Your market is pretty much limited to people who are using the stock messenger. I've found most people who use stock only do so because they don't realize there are alternatives out there or they don't feel the stock launcher is missing anything they need. Either way, those people aren't really your target market either.

I'd guess they only people using this are those who prefer the THEME of the stock launcher. For that reason I recommend tweaking the UI a bit to better fit with ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
not sure if this is asked already, or if possible, I haven't seen any SMS app implement it, but is it possible to show the MMS within the popup itself? For example, if you get a picture message, show thumbnail of the picture within the popup instead of the standard click to view?
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
for some reason i cant get this to work.. i have gosms but i have turned the popups off on it and set the native messenger back to default and am now only using it for sms backups..
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Even with the default app set as default go SMS is still blocking the pop-up. Try a different SMS back up app and either freeze or uninstall go SMS and it will work
[Android Apps and Games] Shermanballz:
In GoSMS settings is an option to disable other sms notifications. Uncheck that and give it a try
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
i have disabled all of GoSMS' notification settings, but i dont see where you can disable other sms notifications..
[Android Apps and Games] youweit:
nice interface!

thanks for share!
[Android Apps and Games] Shermanballz:
Yeah, it's in a stupid place. Should be under notification settings, but it isn't.

You have to go to receive settings to find it (under advanced).
[Android Apps and Games] phreakaz:
anyone have any voice sms app offline? sorry oot
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
There will be no way to send a voice app while not connected to data as it will send as an mms and it will only send with data
[Android Apps and Games] bobtentpeg:
I use the stock Messaging app because, I've found, it to work better than Go and others. Plus, its a lot nicer on ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
thanks all,

i found something "weird" and its GO blocking the SMS popup, i set up android:priroity to 100% and canceling broadcasting, to avoid GO handle the message, but seems GO "win first" the broadcast, not sure if i should ask go dev to let users keep another sms handlers first or set priority or something, im researching how to get the sms first but the only thing i figure out how to avoid the blocking.

BTW i have some reviews about my icon,im not good on photoshop, lokjo (or something like that, i dont remember the nick right now) offers to help me with icon, send me one to check, but i didint know about him for a while :s and i have been busy on my work, so anyone can help me with the icon?

im trying to make ICS like so i have some ideas on mind, so stay tuned :)
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
we need a way to compose a msg to.. maybe can be initiated by the volume rocker or something... and yes i would love to have the go SMS thing fixed.. out maybe a backup option added to this since it is supposed to be an SMS enhancer...
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
yeah i was thinking in backup every incoming message or something
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Edited: Can someone try test this version using GO SMS? and report back?

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] jsgraphicart:
I'll try to whip something up and send you an icon image. I'll try and come up with something soon. :)
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
what about the ability to compose msgs with this so we don't have to go into the msg app to do that?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
well im trying to implement long press search button, perhaps not sure if in ICS they are used. so i iwll try use on volume rocket
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
when you use the volume rocker up or down the volume level box pops up.. you should make it so when that pops up, if you tap it, the compose box would pop up like your reply box does.. then there would be a box where you type the name of the contact your going to msgs.. of course this would bring up a list of the possible options per your contact list..
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
also the ability to answer/compose texts from lock screen..
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
what do you think about those features @zen kun?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
well im trying to implement all the features as i can, perhaps i have a lot of work this days and i will be on vacations in 2 days until early march.

but what im looking to do its:

*Custom SMS color Message

*Quick button reply (seems messing with volume control its kind difficult w/o root) so maybe will be search button, perhaps not sure if search button exists on ICS.

* custom Emoticons inside message (im still looking how to do )

*Enable/disable (unlock feature)

* maybe custom Image for unknow contacts (instead of the green android, not sure about this tho)

*some bug fix (should be posted on code google for easy track)

thats the think i suppose i will do or i already started.

my wish list its

*Google voice support (lack of GV api stops me , perhaps im trying to get this working)

* ICS layout (i read how to change buttons somewhere, but i dont find it again ._.)

* i dont remember the others xD
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
is there a way to make it so those features would work for people who are rooted?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
could be, since maybe i need modify some file system, because AFAIK there is no broadcast for long press volume (if there is no specific activity) so maybe i need modify some file system, not sure if works tho
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
well im just talking about ability to tap on the volume animation when it pops up to compose a msg.. if you dont tap it, then it will just fade away like normal..
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
oh, well so when you are in Popup window volume rocket UP could compose new message, and DOWN volume key could reply the message?

something like that?

that can be done
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
let me draw it up really quick and post a picture for ya..
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
here is how it would look, and you would volume up or down to bring up the volume animation, then you would tap on it to bring up the 'compose' part of the msg which would look something like your reply msg popup..
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
also, when you get a msg from the lock screen it has the option to unlock, other than my suggestions about being able to reply from lock screen, i think there needs to be an option to close the msg, counting it as read..
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Guys, teh latest version of sms enhancer its out :)

i added the option to change Sms popup text color so can match with your custom background :) you can check this new feature under Additional settings

any issue let me know.

I will be on vacations this week so i maybe can update frequently, and i will continue after i return,

if you enjoy my work please consier leave a good rating :P or if you "buy" the plus version leave a feedback xD (not bad one lol )
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
there is an issue when you are using the quick reply and more msgs or coming in.. it closes your keyboard when a new msg comes in. then you have to click back into the text field to continue typing..
[Android Apps and Games] nickfury:
I thought the new version of the app had the quick compose via the volume button, but it does not.

Am I missing something?

Is there a way to quick compose an sms on the galaxy nexus considering there is no hardware button the action can be mapped to?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] jsgraphicart:
Hey Zen. Do you think you can integrate this into your app:

http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier/

I havent used it yet but want to. It says in the app that third party apps need to directly support it.
[Android Apps and Games] horomaho:
Remove unlock screen

Once I receive message, I need to click 'unlock' btn. This is very annoying, I hope you can remove this unlock screen. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Laazyboy:
As someone earlier in the thread said, I've disabled system notifications in the stock mms app, but when I quick reply or close the pop up, there is still an unread mms counter on the mms icon. I'm running stock tw4 on my gs2

Sent from my SGH-T989
[Android Apps and Games] lollazzo:
this app has the blacklist function?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Hi all, sorry for not answer i was on vacations i was on the beach so i didint have time to reply or check some stuffs but im back xD

nope there is no quick compose (yet) i will check or think how to map in ICS

yeah in fact i saw this before and i tried, but i couldnt make work, i will try again later, but yeah it was on my mind this.

yeah, this button will be in settings, so if you dont like you can deactivate.

weird, i tried on my evo 3d, and emulator and its working, the only that actually dont mark as "read" its the UI the sms its marked as read. perhaps i will re check again.

its has not, but you can "customize" contacts so you can just ignore notifications, im thinking maybe auto delete?

but if you customize per contact you can have the option to show popup, or even disable all notifications
[Android Apps and Games] jsgraphicart:
I actually just tried this a couple days ago and it worked for me. I was using Ubuntu. I just installed and ran it on both my phone and my computer and tested the notification and it showed up on my screen. All my settings on my phone were set up for your app so all my notifications were turned off except for SMS enhancer. Its pretty cool. Just wish I could reply to them from my computer.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroManArmy:
I have when clicking, Close it makes the message read. I still have the notification in my status bar after that.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
well i will try again,maybe i can implement this project on sms enhancer ;)
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
mmm let me check this ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Dublerek:
I think, you should add theme chooser and maby emoji emoticons? :D
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroManArmy:
Im running CM9 if that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroManArmy:
Still not marking messages read yet. I still have the notification in there.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
weird, working on my emulator o.O i dont hace ICS on my evo mmm i need look into this, you disable stock notifications right? and you have "marked" as read when pressing close in settings? could you send me a log cat when you clock "close"?
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroManArmy:
I'm using stock notifications, should I switch them?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
you need disable stock Messaging notifications (not my app) disable stock messaging and should work well now
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroManArmy:
Will it mark messages read on my inbox as well?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
yes

10 chars
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroManArmy:
Still not working on CM9. XD I am so tempted to get this fixed! Not marking them as read...
[Android Apps and Games] trestevenson:
I have a request for functionality. Can you make it so new text messages are displayed in the pop-up instead of the first text you received and didn't dismiss? It'd be nice if when you looked at the screen, you'd see the immediate message instead of having to scroll to the right to view it. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jsgraphicart:
I've been noticing a little bug. When I get a message and turn my screen on, hit reply and start typing on the keyboard, nothing is being typed. The keyboard is acting like its typing, showing suggestions and all like normal. But still nothing in the reply box. I usually have to hit delete on the keyboard until I'm back at the beginning and start typing again and it will show up like normal. It doesnt happen all the time. I'd say maybe 80% of the time. I dont know if this is a bug in your app or something else causing this though. I use widgetlocker. But I dont think thats the problem since I havent had this problem in earlier versions of SMS Enhancer.
[Android Apps and Games] ericot:
Aweson app! Thanks! Just downloaded and looking forward to checking out all the customization options, looks great so far!
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
thanks im looking to do it better, perhaps i had a lot of work :s but i work when i can to make it better :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mello^:
Awesome! I must say this one is like a combination of Droid SMS and SMS pop up! I'm gonna stay with this one. Hope you'll roll up new features and updates for this app mate!
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
I'm not getting my vibrate notifications to work after upgrading my sgs2 to ICS..
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
mmm not sure since i dont have an ICS device (yet) perhaps seems you are the only one that i know having this issue, someone can confirm?

did you try uninstall and re install?
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
ya i can give that a shot but it was a fresh install after i did the ROM flash but I'll give it a go anyways.. good to see your still here..i thought for an second dev had stopped..
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
nope i had some issues that i need to fix, perhaps im "studying" som opengl to give more eye candy effects to this but its difficult because i had a job =X

perhaps i will release (soon i hope) some changes, i just wish this app could be more famous lol i had a really few downloads if you compare with sms popup and IMO i did a lot of cool tweaks xD anyways im still here :)
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
i think you could get allot of switchers to your app if you could get the quick compose options you and i talked about earlier in the thread..

also another feature could be an option to test out actual text msgs kinda like you can with the testing of notifications.

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

uninstalling and reinstalling didnt happen to work for me.. :-(
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
weird, no one complains about vibration mmm could you send me a logcat? maybe i can figure out any issue =X
[Android Apps and Games] madLyfe:
ya I'll work on that as soon as i figure out what a logcat is.. also there are allot if times when sending msgs with the enhancer causes the msg to fail..
[Android Apps and Games] Silvane:
Found this app the other day and I'm glad to see that there's an xda thread for it. Have one problem. It's not marking messages as read for me and if I turn off notifications for stock messaging app I don't get anything. I receive a message and no popup.

One thing about the transparency. I set it to 100 thinking it would only make the background transparent (the gray part, not the custom background I have set) and it made the whole thing transparent, text and all. LOL. I received a message and thought my phone had gone bonkers. It suddenly dimmed and I couldn't tap anything. Turns out there was a popup and I couldn't see it, due to transparency. Haha. Please fix. XD Oh and if you're wondering why I wanted just the gray part (the part behind the custom background) transparent is because I set a nice semi transparent custom background, and the gray background and white border of the popup ruined it. Oh while I'm here anyway, please add an option to change font color? So text can be visible whatever background I set. :D
[Android Apps and Games] djmcnz:
Very Cool

You're correct, your tweaks are very good. In fact I've just turned off Droid Notify to test SMS Enhancer for a few days.

In my initial testing it's very good and works perfectly on my Galaxy Nexus so thanks for that.

You

do

deserve more hits and downloads! Some suggestions:

Change the title of this thread - it's currently not a good indication of what the app can do... something like "[APP][NEW] ICS Style SMS Popup + Many Custom Options" might be better. People will look because it says "ICS" :) and people will recognise "SMS Popup".

Set up a translation project on Crowdin.net to get free translations for your app and make lots of languages.

Change the icon (sorry @Zlexor) because it looks nice when it's big but not so good on a little phone screen. Perhaps some colour and edge adjustments might be enough.

Do some SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) for the Play Store entries. I never found this app even when I looked specifically for a SMS Popup app for ICS... :( So I think some different keywords/descriptions could be good.

Format Play Store description (layout) in a nicer way (See Titanium Backup description for a good example) and update the language (sorry, I realise English is not your first language!). If you want help with (English) language descriptions I will assist you because I think this is a great app! :)

Just suggestions to try and help! :)

This is a very good little app and an excellent development start, you should be proud.

5 stars in the market and I'll buy the donate version in 2 days if it keeps working!

Enhancer with WL

I'm using SMS Enhancer with Widgetlocker.. the pop up shows up with the "Unlock" button but it doesn't do anything when I click it. It works fine with the stock lockscreen so is there something I should change in the SMS or WL settings?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
thanks I will do this, well about icon y really sucks in design so I'm stuck in that,I never thought market had seo,.well I write for a blog and it has seo section,I can't see this section on market maybe inside description?

vibration not working

same problem, I'm running I9100XXLPQ, tried re-installing and nothing.

I'm going to flash the phone with a newer build, if that doesn't help I'll post a logcat.

--------- EDITED ---------

no luck with latest firmware (I9100XWLP7) and stock launcher.

vibration only works with system notification's enabled, attaching catlog

first sms without system notificatioms enabled, second sms with enabled notifications.

let me know if it helps.
[Android Apps and Games] trestevenson:
I just recently noticed that sometimes long text messages are not scrollable within the pop-up, and sometimes they are. :confused: Also sometimes when receiving long text messages, the first part of the message is repeated in the pop-up for the subsequent pieces of the text message. Anyone else seeing these issues in ICS?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Weird lol, you are on ICS, damnd stupid HTC i need and ICS device RIGHT NOW!!! i need htc update :S since stupid emulator works fine.

@sebauy i will check your logcat :D

[Android Apps and Games] jsgraphicart:
Oh. lol. Yeah, I replied back asking how it was and if you needed more sizes. I'll post it here to see what people think.

To everyone regarding the icon, all I did was take the original concept and made the colors resemble ICS colors. I can make whatever changes so if anyone has ideas, feel free to speak up.
