Thank you yes I liked it too.

I ve uploaded 42.

I added different bubbles on outgoing/incoming and a light grey color for the timestamp.

I tried different styles on the bubble, even with transparency but it really looks worse.

I ll have sets of bubbles for you to choose at some point.

I dont think I can give you specific bubble colors but I could give you some sets to choose from.

I will add options for choosing your own contact name and bubble timestamp color but having 2 themes (dark and white) and 2 different bubbles makes the combinations too many to handle so we must decide and conclude to a few.

Enjoy tell me if it works! :P
[Android Apps and Games] esirad:
Plz add option to we can adjast transparent % to make our background better .

Tnx again
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
I really like what you are doing with this, fantastic!

Now the "Me" in red is not as easy to see on the grey, maybe a light blue or cyan to match my theme? :laugh: I know you plan to have full user customization.

Thanks for sharing your programming skills with us.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Its:
If this does go to the play store then before it does it'd be great to see the dark grey background added back to received text messages when bubbles are disabled, so that it's the same as the stock CM7 messaging app. Currently it's very hard to tell which are your texts and which are the senders when you've got more than 30 as everything's black (I use the black background option) so they blend together.

On the build released on 11/07/2012 I see the change "Updated myavatar onclick event", but clicking my own avatar does what it used to do. It asks me if I want to text or call myself, which of course is kind of pointless. That's why in my last post I asked for the option to totally remove my own avatar from the new message button without fully disabling avatars. That plus it means I then can't misclick it when I'm using my right thumb, which I've done many times already :(

I'm with others on the idea to submit your changes back to cyanogenmod. It'd be nice to support open source and you'd be responsible for giving thousands of Android owners a better messaging experience.
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
Good point, I guess... But does it hurt adding it for us people who never uses that?

[Android Apps and Games] smallfish:
Try many versions including v42 but still revert to v29 everytime

For white background, grey bubble color with white text is ugly. I suggest little yellow with black text

For wallpaper, I suggest only apply to message list as I am almost unable to read text in conversation list

When I am using incomplete timestamp, now there is no date in message list...and date only in conversation list , like other newer versions...hope can revert to stock cm7 settings in this aspect like v29
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
Thank you all for the suggestions.

I will disable clicking on myavatar so you dont have problems

grey bubble is not very nice. as i said its hard to make all combinations. I like yellow and black. I will put font color options.

Transparency too.

full timestamp is nice as is. short should be smarter like time for today, yesterday, or date for earlier.

avatar on grey must go to the right.

no bubble version should have same colors like bubbles , white and uellow with or without transparency.

There is no way to help you all without creating huge options...

Well, in the code the counter appears after 2 complete lines. Otherwise it appears 10 chars before 160. I need at list 2 lines to show the counter so it can fit below the button. I ll see what I can do.

Maybe a passworded folder will be nice. I dont want to make the app too big.

I am not planning to release the sources now, we ll see

I don't see any problem with paste. Can anyone else confirm this? Are you sure it is an sms app problem? Looks ok by me

;)
[Android Apps and Games] mn31pro:
yes i sure.with default sms app i have not any problems.

after install your messaging app on xperia x8 with cm 7.2 i can paste but on my xperia mini with ics rom i cant paste. this is a problem with android 4.
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
Ok I will have a look at the code, there might be a change related to ics.

It is difficult for me to test both gignerbread and ics because I don't have 2 devices.

[EDIT]

Yes I found the problem, it is only in the compose text editor. Paste is working on other places like the recipient editor or the template creator.

Will fix it and post 17 version soon ;)
[Android Apps and Games] yukimura12:
well sir i have a bug in the first screen i don't know what to call it, and bubble messaging style is not fit in my device and it showed double message(did i have to uninstall the mms.apk?), my phone is samsung galaxy 551 ldpi and stock 2.3.6 rooted

ps sorry for my english
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
Hmm you are right there is a problem with the resolution of the bubble. It has to do with the ROM. I have to make an hdpi version to fix it. You can disable the bubbles for now. You also have to remov ethe internal mms.apk (you can use root uninstaller if you like free from the market) so you dont have double messages.

I will try to fix it soon.

[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
I am sorry guys it looks like I was in a rush and did not check the font option.

I am dealing with ldpi and hdpi devices and will fix the font option with it too.

I think I will remove the bubble bg. It does not look nice that way. I will implement it by attaching only the ^ in a colored textbox. That way it will look ok in any resolution.

The font thing looks a lot of work after all.

If you make the fonts too big they don;t fit in the layouts.

There are also the preferences and the sim messages and templates layouts that have to be fixed...

[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:

You mean it does not save settings on reboot?

Guys this is not only for CM7. I am porting it to work on all roms.

There are many bugs though on the CM7 Mms app and I am working to fix them all. All resolutions will be supported. Themes as well.

You don;t have to make it a system app to work. You just have to uninstall the system Messaging app if you have double messages problem. After that you can install it as a usual app.

Version 18 is out. fixed many bugs, and improved layout. Please check first post.

yukimura12 please check this one and let me know if it looks right.

I can't find any problem in the settings. they get saved reboot or not.

Thank you for reporting errors.

Hi to all,

I am trying to fix the double messages bug but I still cant reproduce the problem on my neov.

freeze does work but I want to be able to install it without root. Someone uploaded a mui apk but it f/c on my device. if you can find me an internal apk tha doubles the messages and works I will fix it.

I want to add a color picker now. It will be usefull for theming.

Did you test the large fonts?

[Android Apps and Games] Litderose:
Lousou, your app is the best SMS app I ever use !

Do you think you could implement the accented characters ?

Because, in french, we've got accented characters like "é" "è" "à" "ù".

And when I use these characters, the app transform them in "e" "e" "a" "u".

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
Yes that is true. Original Mmsapp does not give an option to select on the composition messagebox. That is because it replases the contextmenu with "Insert template". This did not work on ICS as well and removed the paste option.

After troubling with it I have decided to remove the "Insert Template" from there and put it on the menu button.

This way copy/paste select etc will work on both ginger and ics as expected and you still have an option to insert template so it will work on 19.

This is not related to this app. Are you using a widget to reboot? Many reboot widgets crash apps and reboot unexpectedly without saving. Try power off and it should save.

This is code missing. This app did not have any code to get the facebook thumb if it exists. I have to add this in case someone uses facebook. I really don;t want to do it though :P
[Android Apps and Games] Malherbe:
not I use the menu to restart Cyanogen.

is what I can rename the application Mms.apk and copy system / app in the zip of the rom before full instalation .
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
Well if you want to use them you have to disable GSM conversion option now.

This will allow you to use all characters but non-GSM characters will count for 2.

version 19!

I have to find the bug for double messages.

I still cant seem to find a problem in settings saving.

Maybe you should try exiting the app by using the back button before reboot?
[Android Apps and Games] Litderose:
Thank you for the answer, work perfectly now !!!

Hi , are you thinkig about to get as option for set bacground like we wont and not only black and white.

Best app for sms!!!
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
I am not only intending to do that my friend.

I will imkplement custom everything with 2 basic skins (white and black) each one with own settings, custom bg, custom font color, and custom bubble colors for incoming/outgoing.

This is not hard to be done it is just to many settings and has a lot of writing.

I have to implement the color picker fisrst so we are able to select colors easily.

I will put the color picker to the led colors first to test it.
[Android Apps and Games] baszu:
Is there a change for line space between version 16 & 19? I found it is bigger between contact and message (list of thread view) and look not beautiful. Maybe, this is to prevent text overlap when using font size like 20+. Can you make it smaller for default font size (16)?
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
I have defined a minimum listitem height. on both views. It will become bigger when font is larger.

The height is the same on conversation view and message list view.

I could make it a bit smaller but I did not understand where you see the difference when font is 16.
[Android Apps and Games] yokozuna:
The app is truly great! Well done, thank you!

I would like you to carrect a bug (feature?) which is present in all Android OSes from 1.6 to 2.3 (I have not tested 4.0 yet, so I do not know).

Could you make all the numbers in the content of the SMS would be automatically changed into names (of course, if they are present in the addressbook of the device).

I will give you an example: My operator sends me SMSes in which it writes: "+48xxx xxx xxx called you but you have not picked up the phone".

The thing is that in case of the vast majority of numbers I have no idea who +48xxx xxx xxx is (If I could memorize every number the addressboook ain't needed at all :-)) So I would like to have the number changed into John Doe, Klaus Mustermix, Jan Kowalski, or whover called and who is present in my addressbook. Is it possible to substitute the number?
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
My friend that is a very good idea! Are you sure it does not work?

It is kind of easy to implement but I don;t know if it has overhead, because I have to search the entire message for numbers in general and set a minimum of 10 so we don;t look for any number in the text but only phone numbers.

It is a nice feature and I will do it ASAP.

BTW our friend above has a point in the conversation layout height. I ll correct the alignment so the line spacing is the same as the messagelist.
[Android Apps and Games] yokozuna:
It does not work, for sure. And it drives me crazy because I have to note the number, switch to the addressbook and type first numbers and then I know who is the number.

Thank you in advance for your help!
[Android Apps and Games] baszu:
Unfortunately, I don't have v.16 because I always overwrite with newest version :)

The attachment is example, when compare to original CM7 mms.apk

left side is v19, and right is original.
[Android Apps and Games] baszu:
I'm not sure I understand the feature requested. Is it only applied for found address book and/or number not found in address book?

e.g. found = actual name, and not found = xxxx name. I don't have this issue with my network operator. They send me correctly and show who called me and I didn't pick the call.

So, any non-exist will show actual number.
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
Thank you for the screenshots yes I am fixing it.

what he means is when a sms comes that has numbers ore emails in it, it does not detect if the number/email is known and it only displays the number.

So you don't really know if you have that number/email on your contact list.

I did work a lot on it and it is almost ready. What I did think of doing is replace the known number/email in the sms with an "Name (Number)" or "Name (email)" so you know what the contact is. I would preffer not to remove the number because we want to know what the user actually wrote.

The blue links do not look well on the grey bubble. I have to find other colors or prepera the custom theming options so you can help.

Ok version ready

ChangeLog 28/06/2012

* fixed layout height in conversationlist

* added number and email resolution from contacts inside the sms text (this will create links and replace text adding the Contact name if found)

I really hope i didnt forget anything I am too tired to test it enough :P
[Android Apps and Games] yokozuna:
Thank you very much! Now it looks much, much better than before :D
[Android Apps and Games] yokozuna:
I would like to ask you for implementing one more feature, of course, if it possible, I mean about separating (from very beginning) the creation of SMSes and MMSes. If one wants to compose MMSes at the moment he must start composing and attach anything (sounds, pictures, video). The message is automatically converted from SMS to MMS. The thing is that there are two reasons why composing an empty MMS (MMS without any multimedia, MMSes do not have to contain anything, the can contain just plain text!) is better:

1.MMSes can contain up to 1000 characters, SMSes only 160 (or less than a half of this number if they use non Latin characters). Of course, almost any phone can compose longer SMSes but their cost multiply. Empty MMSes can contain up to 1000 non Latin characters, so long text messages sent as MMSes are much cheaper.

2.sending and receiving SMSes between GSM and non GSM operators is troublesome, and AFAIR possible from Vodafone (and their parttners, e.g. Polish Plus) only to American Verizon (but NOT vice versa!). I already experienced the problems when I sent SMSes to my friend in Texas (when I used Plus, in Play it is not possible, because Play which is my current operator is not a Vodafone partner). She could receive my SMSes, but she could not answer me at all.

It is lesser known that in case of MMSes the demands are far more relaxed, Of course if both phones support MMSes, so one must be sure if this person to whom he sends messages has a newer phone. In other words, I can send MMSes to my Texan friend, but I cannot do it with SMSes.
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
I think it helps a lot yes. Can anyone test if it works correctly on ics? Does the context menu work? (single click in a message, and long press on a message).

Dear friend it is not difficult to compose an mms message. The only thing you have to attach to make it an mms is a subject. Just add a Subject from the menu and you will be composing an mms. You will see the send button changing to "Send mms"

Back in business I want to finish the color picker today guys ;)
