First of all, fantastic work. It's awesome. It's beautiful. I'm in line with it.

But I have to agree, I've deleted loads of messages (ones that I wanted to keep but in an effort to speed your app up for me) but still have a massive lag, which makes it very hard to use.

Is there anyone you can reach out to about speed? My stock messaging app works flawlessly but now, compared to yours, is damn right UGLY!

Like I've said, you have done a phenomenal job. I'll be donating for sure. We need to support the likes of you. Really great work.
[Android Apps and Games] Galactus:
Can't say I have too many messages (Just over a thousand), App loads in about a second, swiping between conversations is really smooth, got message loading set at 20. No lags at all here. Only issue I've seen is that emoji's aren't working (They appear blank). Oh and the notification led is white (Yuck), anyway we can change that?
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
I think I've got an idea for speed that will once and for all fix problems. But you all will have to wait and see, because its back to school time for me and updates will be coming slower! I'll do my best though :)
[Android Apps and Games] kazzot17:
thanks. good app
[Android Apps and Games] abdulm:
Nice concept. Want to try this

But unfortunately, it says "this device is not compatible with this version". I'm on gingerbread 2.3.7. Dell Streak.
[Android Apps and Games] Ekofasc:
Klink, I hate to nag and I know you're quite busy, but will you be addressing the issue with the blinking of the thread when sending a message with more than one line soon? It spoils the whole experience for me and I'm back to stock at the moment because of it. :(

[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
I wish I could but theres nothing I can do. Tired every different thing I could think of, just doesn't go away.
[Android Apps and Games] nagendraps:
kinkdawg thanks for reply. I really like this really useful app, so I tried to investigate. I did deleted contact's 2nd mobile number & sending SMS, still it did not work. But I did noticed that same mobile number displaying twice even if contact does not have duplicate entry. Is this causing problem? I even tried by deleting data, cache and even uninstall and re-installing the app.

Please see attached screenshot, thanks for your time
[Android Apps and Games] MF4:
Wow that is one good improvement indeed! Can't wait to try it out too! Improving at such pace, soon it'll be opening before i even tap the app open :victory:

Thanks a lot! I really hope this is possible. I love the features you put in this app so hopefully we can use them whatever the layout.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Found a possible bug. When I'm using the app in Russian, scrolling through the app settings causes a force close for some reason. Not sure if any other language has this, but this doesn't happen when using the app in English.

Sent from outer space.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Yes it is definitely the number showing twice that would cause the problem. I'll definitely look into that and see if I can figure it out.

Can you tell which setting in particular actually causes the crash? Or what part of settings you are in?
[Android Apps and Games] :
It happens when I'm scrolling through settings and reach MMS settings. I just get a force close and the app boots me back to the main screen of the app.

Sent from outer space.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
so you just make it to the mms settings button and then it freezes? or click on mms settings?
[Android Apps and Games] :
I make it to the MMS settings and it force closes. No matter how fast or slow I scroll, I can't get past "MMS settings"

[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
can you get me a log?
[Android Apps and Games] :
How do I go about doing that?

Sent from outer space.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
download catlog off play store and start the app. then exit out, go into sliding messaging and into settings. scroll down to where you get the fc at. push ok on the fc window and then go back to catlog and save the log.
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
Hey, looking forward to next update. Only things i would request now, is an option to keep all SMSs in one conversation, not one if i sent to the contact, another if he sent to me, etc. And just a resize in card layout so i can see which contact am i typing a message for without the need to close keyboard... But take your time on it
[Android Apps and Games] :
I can't get this thing to work :/

The log app doesn't record anything.

[Android Apps and Games] androidmichael:
Can you add an option for action bar at the top? idk why it bothers me but it does! Loving the app!
[Android Apps and Games] MF4:
I believe this would be in the "title bar settings" in the options if i understood you well.
[Android Apps and Games] CaptainGoSlow:
Are you running JB? If you are, I believe you need to be rooted to use catlog.
[Android Apps and Games] hollisterryann:
Jusy downloaded update for my galaxy s4 tmobile. Keep getting force close cant even open app
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
Get the man a logcat
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
Is the update out yet? It says May 1 but still 5.65... Maybe we have to give it a few mins?
[Android Apps and Games] hollisterryann:
Uninstalled and now it works.. I tried restoring setting maybe that caused it.
[Android Apps and Games] drakes6630:
same here

we have the same issue... and also -- the SLiding messagine app - already msg sent but wen u look at the stock messaging app... its failed... :(..
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
Hey, can anyone tell me if they got may 1 update? I'm still on 5.65, tried to reinstall and still nothing!
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
no its not out yet. will be testing tomorrow and then releasing it.
[Android Apps and Games] wera750:
Just bought this app. How is this not huge yet? I love this! Great work!
[Android Apps and Games] bmoresbest55:
I completely agree. It works way better on 4.2.2 and also if you are on an AOSP rom. But overall the app is amazing and more people need to know about this.
[Android Apps and Games] wera750:
Totally agree man!
[Android Apps and Games] :
I'm already rooted. I believe the problem is that I'm just too dumb to use catlog.. :'(

[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
yeah, that's the main reason I stopped using sliding messaging. a look at aosp MMS.apk source should point you to the proper way of handling SMS as well as MMS...
[Android Apps and Games] Eun-Hjzjined:
Love the app.

A bit OT.. But, is there any plans on doing something like this for email? Maybe even a dialer as well, later down the road?
[Android Apps and Games] ThePureHeart:
excellent idea!

I myself would LOVE to see an email app with this design from you.

If you could take inspiration from the iOS app called Mailbox (except not server based), you could make something amazing!

But for now, let's get Sliding Messaging perfect :D

Came from 4.1.2. but eventually upgraded to 4.2.2. It's more stable on 4.2.2 rom. Less lag:)
[Android Apps and Games] MF4:
+1

I'm using Ex dial and loving it but the idea of a similar app to this one for calls would definitely make me try it out.
[Android Apps and Games] hello00:
hows the new version?
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
Awesomely fast
[Android Apps and Games] chinkster:
Is it just me or does this app not have multi select to delete more than 1 conversation?
[Android Apps and Games] calbrs:
Not that I could find.

Is there anyway to not have the phone number displayed on the conversation list? It seems too cluttered with the name, number, then last text.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
New update is running very well so far, but it seams to have problems in showing the correct contact images in the chat in the action bar. Using classic theme.

Just gave it a try again to send MMS, not working. Checked with GoSms, works flawless without configurating the MMS server in GoSMS and with stock deactivated. What is their secret???
[Android Apps and Games] ThePlasticBling:
If you need help with read receipts, you could try contacting the handcent sms developer. I think he has them working. Thank you for replying. Oh, and I would also love to see a dialer and email client. I think dialer should be the first priority though because you already have the messaging.
[Android Apps and Games] chinkster:
Any way to add a button to view contacts when choosing a recipient? Many times I forgot who I'm about to text and need to scroll through the list
[Android Apps and Games] benwalburn:
I've been having service problems lately, causing messages to fail more often than not. This caused me to notice that when a text is resent it returns to the overview of all the threads rather than staying within the thread. Can this be fixed?

[Android Apps and Games] bmoresbest55:
Quick bug. Whenever the someone in the contacts has only their facebook information synced the sliding messaging doesn't display the contact name just the number. I had someones number only because facebook provided it and it only displayed the number not the persons name. Nothing major. I just didn't know who was texting until I looked it up in the contacts app.
[Android Apps and Games] drumbeater79:
For unknown reasons, the notifications are not working.
[Android Apps and Games] wera750:
Can we get a blacked out widget option?

Every other text seems to disappear and getting force closure again.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
Every time I open the app I see "placeholder" for every contacts name in page that shows all the threads.

It only shows for a brief second before loading the contact's name.

Not an issue at all for me but just putting it out there.
[Android Apps and Games] MF4:
Ok so i've been using the app for over a week now and I have noticed one major bug so far. When I get a text message and I want to access it from the notification bar, it does not direct me to the message I just received but to my latest conversation instead. This is a bit annoying after a while as 90% of the time I have to go to the discussion manually.

Also when i type in a contact name with accents. (French) it seems it doesn't recognise the name if I don't type the accent. If I type 'Stephane' meaning 'Stéphane' it does not recognise the contact. Is there a way for this to be fixed maybe?

And as long as I'm there I'll throw a 3rd suggestion, hope it's ok. Is it possible to be directed to the list of discussions when there are several messages received instead of randomly opening one discussion?

Thanks a lot! Loving this app's features the more I use it!!
[Android Apps and Games] chinkster:
I just saw placeholder as well. Also when I use an app like craigspro and try to send a text from the app and then choose sliding messaging as the app to use...it will go to the sliding messaging app and begin to create a message but no contact number will appear at the top

Please delete, found the problem. My fault.
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
busy day for the app guys... will be my last chance to put in major work for the next couple weeks as semester comes to a close, but here is the changelog for the next version (will be releasing tuesday):

- Popup now supports multiple messages

- Batch delete of conversations

- Quick message templates

- Minor UI changes

- More random bug fixes

Pretty solid update, those first 3 i have gotten tons of emails about at least and seen a lot of posts here, so hopefully you all find them suiting. I'm trying to pump through as many requests and bugs as i can before google releases babel, I'll have to focus on porting those features after that is out.

Can't say i'll ever use the popup again though with Halo now on PA :)
[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
woo halo+multi window. I'm actually trying to stir some devs up about it to make a little support for the multi window intent. so if you can, with messages that automatically popup, would be really cool to do this so there's even less interruption in what we are doing. for anyone who's played online games on a droid and got a message before, you know my pain when you get the disconnect message.
[Android Apps and Games] mchu6am4:
Klink... One thing I've noticed is that when i access the app from notification widow (upon a new message notification), the current running /background app is lost (not in focus) after i exit messaging pro... Any ideas?

I don't have quick reply option activated...

[MENTION=2742902]klinkdawg[/MENTION]

Could you please change standard keyboard to enter button and not smiley? (as in fb messenger) or maybe make it changeable over settings. (Smileys are accessable over long press enter button so dont think this could be a problem)

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
What are you looking for me to do with it? I've been trying to think of ways to incorperate it, but have yet to have a good idea.

Really? Can't say I've ever had that happen, I'll have to look into it and see if I can figure out why.

There is an option in either settings or advanced settings to do this already. Look for the show smiley button option.
[Android Apps and Games] wera750:
Has the update been pushed to the play store? I haven't gotten it yet.
[Android Apps and Games] raymond4:
Tuesday will be the update
[Android Apps and Games] Christiancs1969:
Edit sorry

s2rootbox......
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
Update looks great... Have you tried fixing any of my bugs?
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
I always try fixing them all... Just most of the time I seem unsuccessful and then have to try something else.

Anyone out there who likes to send with the return key, that option has also been added for the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
It's fine don't worry! Only bugs i had was that i can not see who am i sending an sms to unless i hide the keyboard, and that i want just one conversation per contact!
[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
so the notification to start composing sms, as well as the popup when received can use the multi window framework.

as far as something new, I'm not really sure myself, its still early to see what they intend to do with it.
[Android Apps and Games] MF4:
Wow someone's been working pretty hard to keep us happy users :D

Thanks for that! Can't wait for the update!

*BUG REPORT*:

I do need to report a bug too that I found today, not sure if that's happened to someone else as well.

Twice today, as I was typing a text message for someone, I received one from someone else. And when sending to the first one it actually sent it to the person who just texted me while typing.

Not sure how this happens. Hopefully it'll be fixed tomorrow !
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Managed to almost finish individualized notifications as well today, here is the full changelog for the update coming tomorrow (HOPEFULLY, fingers crossed it is ready, this is a lot of features to be added in the past 3 days lol)

- Popup now supports multiple messages

- Individual notifications for each contact

- Batch delete of conversations

- Quick message templates

- Option to use return key to send message

- Minor UI changes

- More random bug fixes

I'm also trying to get in contact with the PA devs for all of you out there who want a multiwindow app as the popup, I think that would be quite cool to have that show instead of the popup when you get a new message.
[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
woo alpha embrace. so here's to hoping pa users dont go retard on us and get it restricted in Google. honestly if Google does go and restrict pa users, I'm fine without being able to post reviews, I contact devs directly anyways with good old fashioned email anyways.

What do you mean?

I've never had a problem with having more than one conversation per contact.

Maybe your contact has more than one number?

I think that sliding messages is finally working properly for me now I'll continue to test it and keep you posted :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] :
Sometimes, when I receive a message, no matter how many times I view/read it, it still remains as unread. Doesn't bother me too much, though. It's just that since I'm using notification badges, there's constantly a "1" at the corner of the app's icon..

- Individual notifications for each contact

- Batch delete of conversations

- Quick message templates

- Option to use return key to send messages

- Minor UI changes

- Bug fixes

I am so ecstatic over having the popup work for multiple people. Its so great lol. I think I'm missing something with the individual notifications. I can't get them to save. X3
[Android Apps and Games] Jodicus6645:
So I have a question. I know in stock JB when you get a message with a picture in the notification pull down you can see a preview of the picture in the message preview. Is this a ROM feature or a application feature and if it is a application feature is it something that can be baked into sliding messenger?
[Android Apps and Games] chinkster:
I appreciate the batch delete effort but im not really digging the card layout method...can only see the name of the conversation and can't see even a part of the conversation. Is it possible to make it like how it is in gmail? Slide it away to delete it?
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
added for the next small update either later tonight or tomorrow.

they are saved to the sd card (on my nexus 4 it is the internal memory). could you think of any problems with that? I saved them there so they wouldn't be lost if you needed to uninstall for some reason.

sliding messaging has this feature, but it will only work if the message is successfully automatically downloaded. you can check that option in mms settings

card layout is sticking around, simple as that. if you can explain to me why in the world you would need to see part of the conversation you are about to completely delete then i may consider adding that in, i think it is completely unnecessary though. as for sliding, tried and didn't get it working, so this was the best other option.
[Android Apps and Games] PearlMikeJam:
Klink - Is there a trick to this? I have the setting checked and never get the option to expand the notification on my stock Razr Maxx HD. When I go into Sliding, the picture is already downloaded, but I cannot expand the notification to see a preview. I get the preview in the stock messaging app

Update - I tried disabling the auto download in the stock app, thinking that a conflict may occur. When I do that, I cannot download any MMS from Sliding. It gives me the button, but nothing downloads.
[Android Apps and Games] Faaipke:
Card layout's great in my opinion... Some suggestions may be:

1/ text input field in the inbox to disappear, but think it was already mentioned earlier it's not possible

2/ time stamp in conversation view is hardly visible in light theme

Downside is that I still cannot get mms to work for belgian provider.

Overall, this is one great app and has replaced stock app (except for mms).

Keep up the work, Klink!

Greetings from a happy pro user
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
That's the problem then, sliding messaging isn't actually whats downloading the message, therefore there can be no picture displayed. Is your WiFi on? The workaround doesn't always work for downloading.

Glad you like it! Im still trying to figure out mms for everyone, i just cant yet :/
[Android Apps and Games] darek.pl:
I've tried Go SMS, Handcent and other apps and I must say Sliding Messaging is the best app for messaging... it is almost perfect, but to full happiness I ask for few things (maybe author implement it someday).

- drafts for conversations (if I leave message it would be nice when writing text automaticaly save into draft, so we can continue writing in other times)

- button for add standard emoticons into text (I need return/enter button on keyboard, so I can not change this button into emoticons button)

And also I have few other suggestions:

- settings for set kind of emoticons (for button I mentioned above) - with nose " : - ) " or without nose " : ) "

- settings for "display" or "not display" green images standard android emoticons (if "not display" then display only text mode)

- display all sent messages in one "SEND" folder and all received messages in one "INBOX" folder - this folders may put below list of conversations or in program menu

- possibility to add sounds, vcard (contact) or other files to MMS

- possibility to display only MMS or SMS in thread

- possibility to save images (or attachements) from MMS

Maybe some of this suggestions will be useful :)
