I can only receive MMS on Sprint. When I try to send from within the app, it directs me to my gallery, I choose a pic, then it has me choose method to send, I choose SM, then it takes me back to my message thread (right back to the beginning) to start the cycle all over. On one occasion, it appeared to send, but it never was received.
[Android Apps and Games] xObey:
For the hangout theme isn't the text size suppose to be the same height as the contact icon if the text is only 1 line? Plus it would be great if you could implement the way Google hangout inserts emojis. The current way to input them is sort of glitchy, also emojis are kind of smaller than normal :confused:. Just some suggestions with the new UI.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg24:
Obviously in a perfect world we would like to implement emojis googles way, but that requires making an entire new keyboard for it and as of now, although we have talked about it, we are going to pass on that one since the current way is working just fine for the most part. But depending on what google does in the future here, that may be a future project for us.

About to put up a new beta guys, just has some bug fixes for the popup, some new security settings, and a little change to the widget

I'm getting force close on latest play store version. Did all the wipes...
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
effin awesome <3
[Android Apps and Games] Remiscan:
Same for me. I wiped everything, uninstalled and reinstalled. Impossible to use the app.
[Android Apps and Games] rob rich:
hey dev, this app has the coolest design of all sms apps i know. really awesome with the coloured contact-name bar on top and the great theming options...clean and crispy :thumbup:

few things i like to ask:

1. will buy the pro version and the theming addon in the next days, is there an option to theme and customize the conversation list? if not, are you thinking of adding it in the future?

2. one other thing: maybe you can add an option to only have conversations in that sliding view you have opened before and not all conversations? think it would make it quicker and more usefull when you have many conversations.

3. is it possible to change the hangout ui a little bit? cause when you use it without contactphotos its hard to know who has written which message.

anyway, thanks for this great looking app :)
[Android Apps and Games] Cor-master:
I bought the app, looked great, got it configured, and it stopped working all together. Would hang and force close the every time I opened it. Went to reinstall and google refunded my money for whatever reason. I uninstalled from the android app manager, you'd think it wouldn't refund in that situation.

Anyway great app from what I've seen, but apparently the last update to it made it unusable. I'll buy it again when it gets patched, exactly what I was looking for. Just really think the stock sms app is getting pretty boring these days
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg24:
We need a log to fix that for you then. Is that the new beta from yesterday? Or an older one? Because the beta does have a known issue with some phones, but for others, it seems to be wonderfully faster boot up. We can work it out for you with a log though, otherwise, since we obviously can't replicate your results or we wouldn't have push an update, we can't do much :o

1. There are some customization to the conversation list, such as unread color, background color, and divider color.

2. We might be limiting conversation in the next update too, right now it is just messages, I don't know for sure if Jacob was going to add that or not.

3. We have done the hangout layout that way cause that is how google does it. So i don't think we will be changing it

Try it in a couple days when we get the new update out, it must have just been a setting that you turned on that was wacky or something, sorry about that, but there are plenty of bug fixes in the coming update :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] Cor-master:
Yeah I think it was the layout options. Everything seemed seemed to work fine until I switched to hangouts, and everything was loading forever. Went back in, switched to card layout, and the app stopped working all together.

I know how it is, developer drops new update, breaks the app, users of app flip out and instead of contacting the developer, they start unleashing the 1 star reviews. I'll just try it in a couple days, no worries Seriously dead on what I was looking for, ever since the hangouts update to talk, I've despised the look of the stock sms app. Used to be a big fan of gosms but ever since android got updated to version 4.0, gosms has gotten left behind with gingerbread. Doesn't seem like too many new apps come out, either that or I can't find them amongst all the gosms themes, very annoying. Finally found this app doing a Google search for "best sms app for Android 2013". Can't wait!
[Android Apps and Games] ho11ywood45:
So if I turn notifications off on stock and go SMS. I get no notification of group text in sliding.

Also sending MMS from stock with a group text doesn't work quite right. It tries to send to an individual not the full group.
[Android Apps and Games] Responsibility:
Group texting doesn't seem to be working.

I have the correct APN set up.

I can send a group text but replies come back in individual threads
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
go sms blocks notifications, you should uninstall it completely and notifications will work fine. sending mms through stock does work correctly, but if you aren't on 4.2 then the stock app does not have the ability to send group messages. I'm guessing that is the case?

Group messaging was only added to android in 4.2 and for that reason they will not show up correctly if you are not on 4.2. nothing i can do about that.

when i clear messages from my notification area. it deletes the message from my phone. gone, completely gone. un installed and problem has stopped.

Hi, I just received a beta update, and now the app works great. But I have a question: before the update, the Hangouts layout had a line separating conversations in the conversations list. Now, this line doesn't exist, even if I activate the separator in the theme settings. Is this normal?

Just rebought it and found the thing causing all my issues was the experimental "keep in memory as a background service" option, in fact my Nexus 4 actually froze twice with the option selected! Lol impressive, nothing could make this thing break a sweat before.

Anyway otherwise... Wow! Finally, a real sms option for android 4.0 and up, that looks great! Love the app, still have to use it for a while, but everyone really has to spread the word about this one.

Edit: ironically after I posted this, found another issue, apparently the quick reply option also causes the app to hang on start up.

Edit again : ok too unpredictable, seems like you just don't know if it's going to work ok or lock up and force close at this point, so I've disabled notifications and kept it installed, so I know when it gets updated. No worries, it's beta software, it'll get better :)
[Android Apps and Games] CrypticDroid:
...weirdest glitch I've ever seen. I blurred the contact images myself but the text blurring was all the apps work. It also wiped my conversation background and is pitch black now (at least by looks, didn't check setting) when I had it set for the normal dark theme.
[Android Apps and Games] Cyrene:
The separator is back with Beta 5 :)
[Android Apps and Games] flawedlegacy:
any ideas on how to get my contact picture issue fixed?

as soon as I find THE COOLEST text messaging app, I go the first day EVER without getting a text! lamo
[Android Apps and Games] Cor-master:
Just an FYI I had a ton of messages, haven't deleted all threads since March, so I did that today and the app has been working fine all day. So anyone else having lots of stability issues give that a try
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg24:
Now that I would agree is a very weird glitch... I haven't seen anything like it before... Haha ummm maybe it is a library issue with the latest build? try it out again when the regular update goes live (which should hopefully be soon after we get done working on one last awesome project :victory: )

How often does that happen? and can you fix it by just quiting out of the app or something? Hopefully it was just a compiler thing or something and it will magically get better after the update haha if not, then I suppose we will have to do some digging and find out what was up
[Android Apps and Games] ho11ywood45:
Thanks! Yeah Sprint Note II on 4.1.2. Synergy Rom. Sticking with TouchWiz after issues with AOKP/CM10.1

Only problem I have is everyone uses grouptexts and it never seems to work quite right. Hoping i get a bump up to 4.2 this month.
[Android Apps and Games] Responsibility:
With group messaging I get two of every message. Is this normal?
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Version 6.20 coming out in the next 2 hours for pro users. Free users will receive the update in the next few days. Here is the full changelog:

- Security Options

- Popup now supports themeing with theme engine

- Widget options including black theme

- Access to message details by clicking on the SMS message

- Ability to pick a contact name from a list of all contacts when creating a new message

- Ability to launch full app as popup through "Halo" if your custom ROM supports that feature

- Popup bug fixes

- General bug fixes

Big one, so hopefully it makes everyone happy! I think Sliding Messaging is the first app to incorporate Halo into it (not that I'm keeping track... :D)!
[Android Apps and Games] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
[MENTION=4949967]klinkdawg24[/MENTION] great work so far!

Do you think you can look into loading limited number of messages and conversations when launching Sliding Messenger? I think it'll help load times for those who feel the app is a bit sluggish. I don't see a point in loading all 2500 messages in some of my recent contacts all at once. Maybe load the last 50 or 100? Then allow me to load more if I scroll back further.
[Android Apps and Games] Cyrene:
This was added in the new update. Go to message settings>limit messages.
[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
I am :) its nice to be able use windowed apps without the halo button

Klink, are you ever going to have an OPTION where the popup can pop over the lock screen? So I can stop using SMSpopup
[Android Apps and Games] flawedlegacy:
any ideas on this contact picture issue? not big, but drives me nuts seeing the default picture for me on every "thread".
[Android Apps and Games] Crenshaw-PCGH:
Since the new app update it doesn't open in halo anymore. I'm Ion the latest official build for the nexus 4.

Halo ticks and I click it but nothing happens?
[Android Apps and Games] Peacen1k:
Even with this option checked I still get the "loading" spinner when switching conversations. Stock Messaging app (JB 4.1.2) loads conversations near-instantaneously and scrolling the entire list is smooth with no discernible loading periods.

Scrolling on Sliding Messaging is still sluggish with a lot of visibly slow formatting and loading on-the-fly, although much improved from where we were a month ago.

Overall great progress, though still needs significant optimization to become useful.
[Android Apps and Games] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I guess I need to wait til Free has this... to experience it.
[Android Apps and Games] Scallywag1:
Or buy pro....???
[Android Apps and Games] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Well the lag aspect was kinda holding me back on purchasing.

Edit: I've bought many apps before because the price looks good and the app development looks good, but more than enough times we've seen developers just flat out drop support. I'm not saying klink would do that, but you never know. People's interests move on, and even if it's a wonderful app, there's no guarantee it will continue to grow.
[Android Apps and Games] flawedlegacy:
man, i jumped all over buying the pro before i even tried the free as i liked where this was going and wanted to get in while it was still $0.99. Once this is completed I fully expect it to be around $5! At absolute worst case scenario, this project is scrapped, you wasted a grand total of 99c!

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

Oh fwiw, I didn't even try the free version. I just bought the regular app. The way I see it, I'm a smoker, so what's a dollar to support devs? I've bought plenty of apps for the same price, some I use some I don't but I can't stand ads and I like having all the features. In the end it's just a dollar
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
[MENTION=4949967]klinkdawg24[/MENTION] very well stated.

This is still discussion for the free version of the app, just so everyone knows. If you have comments on pricing, either keep them to yourselves or PM myself or klinkdawg24, you do not need to post it here. I very much appreciate everyone who has supported myself and the app through this point; Luke and I will continue to support you all with updates.

The free version's days are getting more and more limited as the app is closing in on a point where in my opinion it will be ready to be out of beta. At that time, free version will be taken down. Cheers.

Will be posting an update to the free version in the next hour or so and a couple of bug fixes to the pro version as well for everyone to enjoy. Keep it classy XDA.
[Android Apps and Games] flawedlegacy:
I didn't mean to start WWIII... Merely stating if you like the app, support it's development.

Any update on fixing my contact picture?
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
as always, its a touchwiz bug and theres nothing i can do about it. if you want to set your own picture, go to your contacts app and change the me contact.
[Android Apps and Games] CaptainGoSlow:
On this, I had 2 listing in contacts on S2, the one at the top of the list is the one linked to the app.

Not been on for a while, so just wanted to say still loving the app. Don't use it as daily driver at min due to no drafts, but know this is in development, so will keep it on phone and monitor thread to track updates.

I get the odd stutter when scrolling too, but again this has got better with each update of late, so no complaints here.

Anyway, as always, appreciated on the time you've put in so far and the fact you've gone above and beyond the expectations you set when you first put the app out for your time constraints!

Anyone who is concerned about development and risk of abandonment can go back to page 1 and read through how it started out and what's been done to date.

Bought this app yesterday with the theme engine too.

All i can say it works perfectly,very customizable also.

I bought it to support the dev :)

KIU buddy i love this app,it is the future messaging design and app ;)

A quick review from me buddy...

- A few FC over the last 10 hours of use

- A bit slow,needs some time to open

+ Very very customizable

+ Nice UI (perfect IMHO)

+ Love the security you can have with Password :good:

My tips for the future would be...

To make it faster,like the normal messaging app and fix the FC (not many at all but a few).Performance work to say so :victory:

Rest is awesome as said,more isnt needed IMHO,you can do now what you like

That would be my request for the future lol,not to many eeeee :P

still opening the app, opening conversation makes me wait for 3secs.
[Android Apps and Games] Cyrene:
Lol! Thank you for letting me know. At least I know I'm not imagining things!
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg24:
It is a significant improvement though, and fyi, go check out even some google apps, like the hangouts one. That takes about 3 or 4 seconds to load on my Nexus 4, so i think we have done very well with the load time now
[Android Apps and Games] flawedlegacy:
while i have not tried sending a MMS out, i have rec'd several and EVERYTHING seems to be working GREAT. Does take ~2 seconds to open some times, and when clicking keyboard to type, it does have a slight hiccup. That being said it's a >$1 app for the PRO version that looks and functions FLAWLESSLY.

I had been using Chomp SMS for almost a year and almost bought their license to remove adds when it went on SALE for $1.49 a few times. This sucker is SOOOOOOO MUCH cooler (on EVERY level!) and has no adds on the free version even (so i've heard, never tried it lol).

Kudos and THANKS to all involved in this project! I've NEVER seen an app update so frequently! Heck, my adobe for my pc doesn't update THIS much! ;) lol
[Android Apps and Games] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Not sure what you're talking about. Hangouts is pretty fast to load. Sliding on the other hand will open and then the screen stays black. Yes I realize this has to do with how many text messages we each have, and the more you have, the slower it gets, but other fast apps like Fusion or even the hated GoSMS seem to load it in decent time. GoSMS is slower than most other apps, but it'll be slow whether its 500 messages or 15,000 messages.

I found a HUGE improvement 2 weeks ago when trying out Sliding to keep it a background app. Instead of 4-5 seconds of loading, it would load much faster. Now that you're only loading limited messages, perhaps it will be even faster.

Edit: I see what you mean with Hangouts. If I close it, it takes some time to load. However if I switch out of it, it stays in memory at least so the next load is pretty fast. On the other hand, Sliding Messaging is ALWAYS a 5 second load. That's where I think the background process helps
[Android Apps and Games] Peacen1k:
For me it's not just the initial loading of the app, which takes around 3 seconds, it is also having to wait to load individual conversations (if you switch from the conversation that is loaded initially). Even with limited messages option checked, it takes SM forever to do what is near instant for other sms apps.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg24:
No, the background process litterally did nothing haha thats why it is no longer there...

and I don't really think it is at all fair to compare this app to any other sms app. There is a reason that it has never been done before, we have to load 5 conversations at start up (2 on each side of the current), then fill the arrays with all the messages, along with loading the conversations list. All other apps only have to load the conversations list to start up and they don't have to populate 5 list views with custom layouts, so yes. It does take longer than any other sms app, and I am sorry to say that because of the style, it always will :(. There isn't much more to try, but believe me, if we think of another way, we will do it. But as of right now, Jacob is fresh out of ideas... and for most people, the improvement has been gigantic over the past few weeks
