having some problems with the new version.... except having great lag especially when opening the application I can't get used to new interface... the contacts list at the beginning, having to press back twice to exit, always having to choose a contact or swipe to it and all really isn't what I expected from this app... back to classic style... it's quicker and smoother....pro version, galaxy nexus rooted stock rom/kernel
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
thats why i kept the classic look, not everyone likes one thing so its good to have options!
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
Just emailed u the finished Spanish translated files, hope they work. I also get lag only when swiping, i don't know if it's a lag or the animations are supposed to be like that... Other than that, lovin it
[Android Apps and Games] deathblade:
Any plans to incorporate the theme options to the new card layout
[Android Apps and Games] dialmformostyn:
I think the grey/black of the dark theme need to be flipped - pitch black background, dark grey cards. I love how much this app has grown in such a short time.
[Android Apps and Games] chayes627:
I really like the look of the new layout, but I am missing the original action of the app. Being able to swipe from the far sides to get to the conversation list and new message. Also when opening the app going right to the conversations not the convo list.
[Android Apps and Games] Namoi:
Just tested the new update and i like it even if it feels indeed choppy on SGS2 with gpu acceleration on.

But i don't understand the black theme... it doesn't follow the holo android guideline for dark theme.

Black should be the background, charcoal the card and the background for the bars. Icons should be 128 rgb middle grey, disabled icons should have their opacity reduce to 50 % if i remember, text should be full white...

I am gonna have a look again on android dev site to check.

But thanks, i appreciate the effort and dedication.
[Android Apps and Games] hollisterryann:
It's the 1st update on the card theme. I'm sure more will come. He released everything right away it wouldn't be out for awhile. If he does it slow he can work on bugs per update vs a lot of bugs with a huge update
[Android Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
Is there supposed to be a message entry box on the card index page? You can't do anything with it, entering text but no contact to send it to. X
[Android Apps and Games] athdaraxen:
Klink addressed this earlier! :3
[Android Apps and Games] ThePlasticBling:

[Android Apps and Games] mchu6am4:
Klink...fantastic update so far..I won't complain too much as I know you'll still be working on trying to improve things and add more features such as themes etc...

Only one/two things for now are:

1) Don't like the delete all conversations button in top right corner as accidentally it'll do exactly what's it's designed for...a better alternative would be to provide a tick box options to select and delete all selected conversations...a little safe I'd say.

2) Notification icon colour/symbol does not change...just stays white.

Will post more when I come across more things...

Well done so far....

Is this the option labelled "Force GPU rendering"? If it's not i've hunted high and low for a hw acceleration option and not found it.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
shoot yes, guess i had the wrong name! most likely wont do anything though i'm guessing.

Anyone who wants, pm me and i'll shoot you the new version to test. if this doesn't work then i'm stumped on the lag, but pretty sure it will! Just can't really test since its already buttery on mine for some reason! haha
[Android Apps and Games] omnomnomkimiiee:
Bought Pro about 20 minutes after it was first announced, and I do not regret it.

Lag seems to appear randomly, bizarrely it's less noticeable on my Wildfire S than on my One V
[Android Apps and Games] Ekofasc:
Tried it and it's kinda hard to say but I feel like there is less lag. Maybe 25+% less lag/stuttering (I mostly tried scrolling through messages since that's where I noticed most of the stuttering). N4, cm10.1.

[Android Apps and Games] batwingnz:
There was a minor improvement, but not enough to be able to choose it over the classic layout.

Many thanks to the dev for investigating this so quickly.

Seriously, 5.53 BETA works just like that on my live with walkman! Awesome, and now fully in my language. This is now the best sms app i've seen
[Android Apps and Games] athdaraxen:
I wish mine was that smooth lol.
[Android Apps and Games] Ekofasc:
Hmm, try scrolling as fast as you can? In the stock app, there's no way for me to make it stutter no matter how fast I scroll of whatever I do. In your app it's mostly alright as long as you keep the pace down, but there's great lag when scrolling real fast. Like one frame per second at times.

tptlk
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
exact same result still, much faster then the classic theme doing this as well.

I'm putting out the update now, you'll all see it within the next couple hours and hopefully it'll be much smoother.
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
Great... i'll hold on the beta for now, lovin it :P

EDIT: Hey, a little feature request for next version, would be nice if swiping to the left take u to New Message, instead of having to swype through all conversations. I know, the icon is over there, but it's easier. See if you can pull it off! Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] calbrs:
Just got the app today and I really like it. I don't have any lag issues on my Razr M. Only complaint's that I have is not being able to send mms with wifi on, and that I cant send video. Oh well, I'll suck it up.
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
New ver is great! Only bug i report now is a size bug... Whenever i try to find a contact in New Message, the keyboard just covers it. I only see the typing area... i can type the contact i want but i need to close the keyboard, select it, and open keyboard again... Other than that, it's awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
Still lagging on the card layout while classic is blazing fast.

Sense rom here
[Android Apps and Games] resynx:
Newest update makes things a bit smoother for me. The main lag is within the conversation list for me though, and the screen still flickers when sending a new message.
[Android Apps and Games] GatoL0c0:
Mine lags on the conversation list as well. It also stutters a bit when scrolling to messages, smooths out then lags if I back out or go to list again. Staying in classic layout cuz I like the color theme and it's smooth.

[Android Apps and Games] john.fast:
Just got the new update, card layout is much smooth. Its nearly perfect for me scrolling up and down in a conversation. It sill stutters when scrolling left and right between conversations, however, it is hit and miss. Sometimes its like butter for a few conversations, and the the next few it lags. But much much better. I do notice that when scrolling fast, the conversations(no matter how long they are) dont load fast enough so i scroll to a blank page and then the cards appear shortly after. The biggest lag is still coming in the conversations window, both scrolling to get to it, and scrolling up and down the the conversation list.

Suggestions for future card theme updates:

1) I know you mentioned it, but i really do think getting rid of that text box on the conversation page would be nice, it looks really out of place and makes the layout seem cluttered since it overlaps the cards.

2) Needs a bit more color, not much, because the simple and subtle layout is really nice, but a little light blue (like in the stock theme), would add a lot in my opinion.

3) I think the slide from the edge concept should be re-added, being able to slide from the right edge to start a new convo and slide from left edge to get back to the conversation cards would be amazing. Again, the sliding is what makes the app unique, so i think that should be shown in the new theme as well.

This new card layout has really grown on me, i didnt like it much at first, but am starting to like it more and more each day. Great app, and im looking forward to more and more amazing updates in the future! Take a break once in a while though lol
[Android Apps and Games] hello00:
good job on the update, but still some lag here and there..especially when you open the app..takes a little while and if you could change the font colors this app would be perfect
[Android Apps and Games] alatedseraph:
So I just want to say first that this is the very first ever mock up kind of picture stuff ive done so be gentle everyone. This is my vision of how I thought the card theme would be when you said its what you were making. I think the interaction it gives is much smoother while also allowing people to feel like the conversation list is their messaging home. Also with sliding the cards to open them instead of sliding from the edge, it allows you to use the sliding from the edge to open a new msg since a lot of people seemed to really like that feature.
[Android Apps and Games] xObey:
Opening up messages via the lockscreen widget doesn't work.

(P.S. transparent widgets are the way to go [removal of transparent white background on the widget leaving only the message cards], it would make the widget look nicer, in my opinion)

Also some of the the call button looks kind of low resolution and pixalated on my device (d2tmo)

Lag issues here and there but besides that everything's working!
[Android Apps and Games] Namoi:
Hi,

Here is a little humble proposition for the dark theme following the holo guideline.

I did it only for the conversation list, but i think it should be kind of the same for the other one.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] can6rxw:
Thank you! It's so simple :) Shouldn't that be enabled by default though, the ability to view pictures? I never had to worry about that before with other apps. Good work though and thanks for the quick replay. My wife will be happy now. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
This may have been covered before.

Get a weird refresh on the card layout. When you send it flashes blank then back, and when the keyboard goes away does the same.

Google sync photos error

When I go to my gallery and go to my g+ sync photos to send them to a friend I keep getting a error. In data and wifi mode I still get an error. And mms settings are enabled and apn is set up correctly. I can send normal pics just fine but I can't send Google sync pics. In my stock sms app I can.
[Android Apps and Games] omnomnomkimiiee:
Seconded.

Also happens when the icon for delivery confirmation appears.
[Android Apps and Games] PearlMikeJam:
I just bought Sliding Pro yesterday and am getting used to it. Is there an option for the notification in the status bar to be expandable? I am most interested in expanding MMS notifications to get a quick view of any pics. Is this possible like on stock messaging apps?
[Android Apps and Games] Ekofasc:
Klink, email the developer of Falcon Pro and ask what he's done to improve smoothness? IIRC it wasn't at all as smooth in the beginning as it is now. I'm sure he'd be glad to help. :)

[Android Apps and Games] DarkisFever:
I've been an avid user of Sliding Messaging Pro and have recommended it quite a lot but I will admit the newest update isn't really ready yet. Mind you I still much prefer the cleanliness of the classic layout (and continue to use it) but I will comment on my experience with the new card layout. It's an interesting concept with merits. I do like the overall clean look of the messages and scrolling. The new layout however -- much to many others stating already -- is very, very sluggish/laggy. I did look at another users YouTube video and was immensely impressed by the smoothness he had over myself and what looks like many others. If this is fixed I may give the card layout more of a try but for now the classic is much better.

A suggestion however for your card layout is to keep the sliding menus on the left and right. My favourite feature of this app has always been the slide the left portion of the screen right for all conversations and opposite for new messages. It's such a simple and elegant feature and has been my favourite from any texting app to date.

This new layout defiantly has a lot of potential and I think it can certainly be refined. I agree with some of the people who have recently posted that the dark theme needs a little bit of work but I am sure it will get better with time (I much prefer dark over white any day, if not just for the no glare effect at night). I will also quickly mention my favourite feature of the new card style is actually the bottom task bar. For some reason or another I just love its look. Anyway I appreciate your time working on this app and will continue to look forward to feature updates :)

on v5.55 pro...i use the popup feature (quick reply) when i get a message...is there a way to scroll if i have more than 1?

all other popup apps or sms apps that have the quick reply popup allow you to scroll through multiple messages if you have more than 1 new one

edit: see that it was mentioned a few times....+1...it is a very important feature..for people that text a lot it renders the popup feature useless
[Android Apps and Games] RoadXY:
When "Quick Page Between Conversations" is disabled I would like to have little pushable arrows in the [selectable color] beam to go to the next conversation (where the title of the conversation is).

Great app!

No force closes and speedy start up (I only have like 25 messages in my store).

[edit]

There is something weird going on the title beam. I have "Quick Page Between Conversations" disabled and if you tick the title beam and hit the right spot it switches conversations...
[Android Apps and Games] sergini:
Notification sound isn't changing inside the app options.

If i am writing a message and I receive another one the app deleted what I was writing and goes to the sms I received

I have download the app and it is beautiful but have a lot of bug. If there isn't the MMS.apk app in /system the SMS don't appear in conversation. Please fix the emoji and spead. Sorry for my english. I m italian :)
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Do not delete the stock MMS.apk. it is used to save the messages permanently.
[Android Apps and Games] steinerlein:
Great app! Just installed it and I like it very much so far :)

I can confirm the feedback you already got, here are some more suggestions:

after sending a message the keyboard (swiftkey in my case) closes. I like splitting some messages.. maybe you could make an option to leave it open?

when composing a message and the contact sends an answer, the text is stored and deleted. That seems very annoying to me.. It could just stay there until I hit send.

the redundancy of the new message button seems very important to me. Get rid of the button in the upper right corner since the concept of your app is the sliding movements. Why have a button, too?

when pulling down to load more messages, the animation is very harsh and not smooth. (This is not a major issue but could be worked on nonetheless)

I am looking forward to your next update!

cheers-
[Android Apps and Games] sergini:
I hope you're reading my feedback and don't take me wrong, I'm just pointing the bugs that I found to help you improve the app, I'm not complaining :)

I would delete the app because i have a galaxy ace with a little memory. A way for use it with MMS.apk deleted like GOSMS or other? Emoji aren fully working. Sorry, i have bad english
[Android Apps and Games] spearman792:
I just started using this app yesterday, and I'm really liking it so far!

However, I think I found a minor bug. When I pull down to load all messages on an older thread (not the most recent conversation), it loads all of the messages but then jumps to the most recent thread.

Thanks for the great app!
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
yes, i am reading all of the comments :) thank you for your input and i am putting in too much time every day trying to get everything fixed haha.
[Android Apps and Games] VegUnited:
Not sure if it's a bug or not but I can see two names in the messaging title bar even when I have quick page turned off. Kind of confusing. Loving it though
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
hi!

one more suggestion if you dont mind: popup reply support for more than 1 message.

Sometimes when i receive more than one message only one is displayed on the popup. and if it is from the same contact the second sms does not notify in the notification bar(and the message stays unread until i enter the app and see that it is unread).

Maybe supporting several sms on the popup like CM messaging app?the popup displays the number of messages received and you can slide to see the other ones. And a close and mark as read button(so it clear the notification from the notification bar).

Just a suggestion=)

AW: [APP][Free] Sliding Messaging

Hey. your app is really great. The concept is something new, but it feels familiar after a short time of use.

but a few things here and there.

first you increased the app speed significantly since the beginning. but still if I start the app even if it is in memory it's painfully slow. But once the app is opened it's perfectly fluid.

when pressing send button, the process of sending is still very slow compared to the standard app from 4.2.

these things drive me crazy because you got a quad core phone and than the lags... Not nice. But I don't blame you. Just wanted to tell you. And hoping youre continueing developing.

and one more request could you put in a little sign under a message if the delivery report has arrived? :)
[Android Apps and Games] VegUnited:
Wow he already fixed the problem I mentioned two posts up. Thank You!
[Android Apps and Games] sergini:
Still impossible to delete the conversation in last place.

Not possible to send message directly from the contacts (it opens last conversation)

Notification sound does not change even if you select another notification, it plays the sound that is selected on the mms.apk

If I am writing a message and I receive another it deletes what I was writing and goes to the last I received.

These are the main bugs I noticed, hope you can find a solution.

Btw, take a rest or we can't keep up with so many updates ;)

I don't mind the MMS absence but please fix the delay when opening the app. It takes too long! 7 seconds is a little too much.

[Android Apps and Games] mjpitts:

Some one did a performance study for Falcon. I'm sure the methods used to make Sliding Messaging more smooth would also be applicable.

Anyway, the only lag I got is when scrolling side-to-side. That's all.

[Android Apps and Games] Ekofasc:
Can't you load all the threads at once, so that they don't have to be loaded while sliding between conversations? To avoid long start up times, load them after the app is launched and everything, when the user is perhaps just looking at a thread or the conversation list? (sorry if I misunderstood something in your explanation here)

I don't really suffer from lag when sliding between conversations though, I experience stuttering when going up and down through a thread, and I'm on N4 and CM10.1. And for that kind of lag, perhaps there's more similarity to the Falcon Pro situation? Either way, I think I'm gonna try PA sometime this week and see if I have less lag then.

Oh my, so constructive, so full of insightfull objectivity and respect for all the people in this thread who just express their point of view on that matter for the dev who asked,some pages ago, a feed back about the dark theme and suggestions...

Flashed PA on my Nexus 4. The lag when scrolling through a thread is exactly the same as in CM10.1.

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

If you get nowhere with the lag for now Klink, it'd be sweet to have the flickering fixed when a message is being sent and when the message gets the delivery tick. Makes the thread go blank for a second. At least when the keyboard is hidden.

And that the message often seemingly gets stuck on sending. And if it doesn't, sometimes there's a toast that the message has been received by the recipient, but there's no tick until you close the app (perhaps you even have to back out of the app) and launch it again.

MMS trouble

Love this app. Is there a place to post bugs for this app. If not, there is a problem with the MMS in the latest update. I am able to send mms but not receive. Running on a Unlocked BL rooted stock JB 4.1.2 Droid Razr Maxx HD.
[Android Apps and Games] athdaraxen:
I've noticed if you reset your network (turn airplane mode on for 5 sec or so) then turn it back on, it tends to fix MMS when it's being weird for me.

Also make sure your Wi-Fi is off! :3

Hope that helps!
[Android Apps and Games] ThePlasticBling:
scrolling up and down in a conversation is smooth, unless there is a picture. If you scroll and there is a picture you sent or received, it stutters. It also stutters when swiping left and right. Not much when you swipe to another conversation but if you swipe to the page with all of your conversations, it stutters. I'm sure you will fix this over time.
