It's the new update coming out Sunday on night.
[Android Apps and Games] jjhiza:
I always forget that this is the thread for the free version. Sorry for bringing up the pricing issue...just wanted to show you some love, for all your hard work. :) :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Well I tried making a dark theme and it looks awful, now i know why google makes white apps :) so dark theme is a no go, if you prefer black you'll have to use the old layout instead. so to sweeten the deal, instead of a black theme i'm making a widget :) card based of course.
[Android Apps and Games] jjhiza:
If you'd like me to, I'd be willing to try my hand at the dark theme. I'm decent with edits, and I'd love to help you out (you have a ton on your plate, with developing an awesome app). I have plenty of time coming up, over the weekend... I may be able to get something done. Just some food for thought. :)
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Get me a mock up going and if its good I'll definitely include it!
[Android Apps and Games] SportingChap:
Just noticed this: Delivery reports work fine when sending SMS from within the app. But I get no delivery report when using "Quick Text" from the notification screen.

This is just something rough I threw together in Gimp. It looks mediocre, but it'll still give you a glimpse at how I'd like a dark theme to look. Hope you guys like the mockup. :D

how come i cant download the mms sent to me? ....on tmo apn...sent one fine. cant download the one sent to me.
[Android Apps and Games] VegUnited:
As long as Sent text is JB Holo Blue and Incoming white I'll cosign any dark theme
[Android Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
Very swish! Great job
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
What lol
[Android Apps and Games] VegUnited:
When you compose a text message the text you send to the recipient is holo blue on AOSP 4.2.2, it matches the keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
I don't know how doable this is but implementing something like the new fb messenger chat heads would be pretty neat
[Android Apps and Games] raymond4:
Like to see this too
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
ok card based widget is all done now. nice simple and gets the job done, i like it. now i'll go back to the dark theme and do my best, although in the actual app i really think it looks bad. :/ but whatever, if that's what you guys want, dark theme it is.
[Android Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
Nice one! Time will tell!
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
So new ver is tomorrow?? Really looking forward to it
[Android Apps and Games] Ekofasc:
I don't really like the dark theme either. I guess mostly those who want one speak.

You could just release the new update and wait a bit with the dark theme ;)

tptlk
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
ohh i would love that
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
I'm ahead of schedule anyways so I've got time to improve things! So it'll be released tomorrow sometime with or without the dark theme (but most likely with).
[Android Apps and Games] stuffinthesky:
I used to like dark themes, but I've gone to white recently. Your app is awesome btw!

pm me
[Android Apps and Games] androiduser102:
Looks really good, I was also wondering If chat heads was possible to implement in a future release?
[Android Apps and Games] Beast84:
So I just bought the app, is it not compatible with light flow? I thought I read it was
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
So for sprint mms I think the app is missing a setting
[Android Apps and Games] mchu6am4:
Use light manager....
[Android Apps and Games] CrypticDroid:
You mean the built in light manager? if you use Lightflow it overrides the stock app setting and since they aren't compatible we get stuck with no notification light.
[Android Apps and Games] mchu6am4:
No light manager from play store:

[Android Apps and Games] CrypticDroid:
ahhh, Sorry I misunderstood.

I'm still just going to hold out for lightflow

Anndddd, dark theme has been finished up. Hope that makes some people happy, although I'm not a big fan of it. I'll build it here within the hour and release the update then for everyone to enjoy.
[Android Apps and Games] :
You, sir, have just made my day. Looking forward to it! :D
[Android Apps and Games] ThePlasticBling:
Can't wait for the update. Will it look like the one in the first picture on the original post? Because that is the finest UI I've seen.

New update looks amazing! Still checking it out anyways :P im kinda lost
[Android Apps and Games] hollisterryann:
I thought I read 9 themes all I'm getting is white and black. The white theme looks sick besides the black lines under each card. I don't know if it's supposed to be like that but the picture you uploaded doesn't show it

I had to search for sliding messenger for the update to show
[Android Apps and Games] john.fast:
The update looks great! It is noticeable much smoother! However on incoming messages or when i send texts, i get a flicker the majority of the time. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
I respect your effort for the new design. But it is very slow on my phone and honestly i like the classic theme better. Will stay with that one. Any way it seams you improved the startup time. Good job.

Will you add the possibility to ad uername, password etc to the MMS configuration. I have several more information's to add before MMS will work with my provider. Or perhaps root function to read the stock configuration?
[Android Apps and Games] HoochieCoo:
I have the black bars too. It's also unusably slow.
[Android Apps and Games] apples723:
Why does this not support gingerbread I can test it for u
[Android Apps and Games] hollisterryann:
I just messaged him on the black lines and he had me send him a few screenshots. Hopefully we get a quick fix. He usually good about that
[Android Apps and Games] ThePlasticBling:
Amazing new layout, but laggy for me too. Galaxy nexus.
[Android Apps and Games] gaui:
Laggy here too, S3 i9300. But I like the old layout better.

Also I hate that the new layout can't slide from margins to go to conversations or to create a new message.:(
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
black bars and lagging here too when on the card theme.

Classic theme works flawlessly
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Its lagging more then the old theme? for me its like twice as smooth and everyone else said smoother as well, weird. as for the black lines, looks like touchwiz isn't registering that as a shadow as it should.. those should be very very light just like a drop shadow behind it :/ hmm weird.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
..and better as before!!!
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
yes i did improve the smoothness on that one a little bit as well.
[Android Apps and Games] moosc:
No lag here and love the dark theme. This **** is amazing way better then sliding was. Some one needs to hit the blogs and start the press tour. One question though where all names are at any way to make that fine a couple points larger?

I'll give it a try. It looks awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
Same, no lag here and i really love the new design! Lemme tell you again i'm up to help with Spanish translations... Translations mean a lot to people who dont know english
[Android Apps and Games] HoochieCoo:
I'm a developer myself. Don't know if I've ever seen anything like it. You are correct... Weird. But yeah, it's horribly slow with the new layout. Original one is fine.

EDIT: I'm running this on a Razr HD. Pro version.
[Android Apps and Games] athdaraxen:
Mine's hardly laggy at all but it isn't very smooth at all. Very very choppy for all the animations. X3

I love the new design I just need to get used to it, it's such a huge UI change but definitely a good one.

[Android Apps and Games] john.fast:
After playing around with the app a bit for the last while i have a few comments and opinions on it:

-I do experience lag when swiping from conversation to conversation in the new card layout- im sure this will be ironed out and its not a huge deal

- when sending a message, i have the animation to swipe in from the left. When i send a message in the new theme, the messages above disappear and then reappear as the animation goes, where as with the old theme, it would just slide right in with no flicker of the other messages

- I am finding that the old theme is crazy smooth, much smoother than the new card layout.

- The new card layout, in my opinion, is plain. It is white and light grey and since i send very few mms, the lack of color makes it dull and boring. Where as in the original layout, the consistant black bar, light blue bar where the name is (color depending on the theme), and even blue line where the text box is really, make it stand out. Both card and original themes are simpistic which is what makes this app so sexy, but i think the new card theme is a rather plain and could use just a little color. The reason the card layout looks so good for google now is that it shows sports scores, weather, photos etc... things that really make the card pop, and with just plain text it really is just one dimensional

- The appeal for me in this app is the gesture swiping. i love being able to swipe the conversation to the right to reveal the conversation list, yet the convo still overlaps. Also swiping to a new message was amazing too, and now with the new theme, a button must be pressed. Not that that is a huge deal, but the "sliding" part of this app is what makes it truly unique, and that should be implemented into the new theme.

Now again, these are only opinions on the new theme, i personally think this new card layout has amazing potential. It could have a smooth and very stock google look, but i do feel it needs a little more color, and the same gesture swiping as the old theme. For now, ill stick with the old theme, but soon i know the card layout will be amazing, and im excited to use it because its so incredible unique. Thanks again to the developer for this awesome app, it is my daily driver and will continue to be.

I am having trouble using MMS. My service carrier is AT&T, but the APNs provided do not help at all. Is there a custom MMSC Url, MMS Proxy, and MMS Port that someone has with AT&T that works?

Can anyone else confirm that wifi is the main reason why MMS would not work? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] athdaraxen:
I'm getting this too. I couldn't deal with all that blinking and switched to the old style, it happens whether you turn the animation on or off.

Just want to say I agree with this person on the visuals, the plain white it why I much prefer the dark version. There is contrast and it's nice to look at, but the blinking text bar thingy is gone when replying to folks. Makes it kinda of hard to edit a message as I have no idea where I am lol.

Edit: I'm on Straight Talk AT&T and I can confirm I cannot send MMS with wifi on. I must turn it off before sending to get the picture to go.

Edit again!

Wow, I've never had the old style work so nicely before, butter smooth for me. X3 I can't wait for the new style to be this smooth!

[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
woops, leaking cursors big time on the last version too, that was probably what was causing lag for some people and not others! will be updating soon with a fix for that and the stupid black bars showing up for some, still not actually sure why that was happening.
[Android Apps and Games] KeyN0teSpeaker:
What is the purpose of having the text input box in the conversation list Window? Maybe I'm missing something...
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
because i don't want to waste the resources trying to hide it, its small enough that i don't see a big deal having it at the bottom and its better like that then the whole layout having to switch around every time you go into conversations list.
[Android Apps and Games] KeyN0teSpeaker:
Fair enough! That's for the response!
[Android Apps and Games] stuffinthesky:
****ing top notch app sir.

[Android Apps and Games] athdaraxen:
I feel like I'm missing the setting but on for the new card layout is there a way to turn off the keyboard popping up when I open the app? I find it very annoying having it pop up every time like that but I don't see a setting to turn this feature off.
[Android Apps and Games] ThePlasticBling:
This.
[Android Apps and Games] BusterCasey:
I don't know if you changed anything with the classic layout, but it's INSANELY smooth. Maybe it's just the fact that I'm one of the "laggy" ones in the card layout. To be frank, the card layout looks very nice, but I have no use for it... too much wasted space. Maybe once the lag issue gets resolved, it will be more appealing.

I'll take back what I said earlier about the action button being at the bottom though... I think I could get used to that.

Keep pushing ahead klink! But please keep the classic theme! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Ekofasc:
That was a typo, it read nine when it should've read none.

tptlk
[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
granted I know the card ui is new but some basic behaviors I enjoyed the messaging app for.

the app doesn't auto open to the newest thread, hitting back goes to conversations list instead of closing the activity.

aside from these, there is some minor graphical glitches in landscape layout on my nexus 4. namely card as overlaying themselves .

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_bkxTZXrpqwZTh6dVJCR3g5d1E/edit?usp=drive_web

and an idea you can use to smooth some appearances is the lip of the cards on the edges can be slid in instead of suddenly showing when they load.

nothing in complaining, its just ideas. its your baby.

supreme app as always.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Boy, I had to wait till Monday to get the update (time difference is a bi*ch). The only part of the app that's laggy for me is the conversations list, other than that, it is pretty smooth. BUT (and that's a big but), the overall UI isn't as nice to look at as the snapshot in the OP. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you've done a bad job, but I doubt this is how you imagined the UI in your head, because it is not at the level I expected it to be.

I'm sure you will address the issues other people have filed in. Here's hoping that you improve upon the cleanness of the new UI, because even with the problems, it is a killer interface :D

My 2 cents would be: try enlarging the cards on the conversations list. Sure we would be forced to scroll more to find the conversation we're looking for, but it'd look cleaner if the cards were larger :)
[Android Apps and Games] batwingnz:
Returning to this app after a few weeks away - loving how much it has evolved. Using the classic layout though as the new cards one is a bit laggy.

Razr i XT890 (2000MHz x86) so likely to not be optimized.
[Android Apps and Games] jessecoleman:
Can I suggest a feature? The contact card that acts as the heading for each conversation seems a little intrusive. Google has a cool piece of eye candy they use in Now and Google+ and others where the bar will be stowed away when you start scrolling down. Then, as soon as you go back up, it comes back into view. If you could make the contact card hide until you scroll up I think it would be much cleaner.
[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
ditto this, its a subtle but beautiful touch to maximize ui space with information

[Android Apps and Games] CaptainGoSlow:
Liking the new layout, seems slightly choppy on S2 running stock 4.0.4 at min, but not that bad and based on previous I know it'll only get smoother with time.

I still find it gets stuck on sending using the soft key back button to exit. Also something else I've noticed, is if it changes to sent (if I haven't backed out) then scroll up the conversation and back to the latest one it's on sending again, but has already sent. If I go out and back in it corrects itself. Just thought bit odd.

I'm also finding as others have said the screen flashes/blinks when updates happen with the sliding effect and when the sending updates to the time sent too.

With the widget, is it meant to go to new text if you click on a conversation? Is it possible to add an option for it to jump to that conversation. Also when you open Sliding after new message received for it to go to that conversation instead of conversation pane like on classic layout?

Great work as always, appreciated on time put in.
[Android Apps and Games] hello00:
excellent app but like others have stated..it is slow and laggy on n4

Love the new layout, but as others have said, it is slightly choppy. Running on S3Mini, the classic layout is fast and smooth. Using the new layout though as i do like it alot! Also prefer the light theme!

What about "tap to cancel message sending"?

For me its pretty useful because i dont usually double check what i send..

I reckon the priority before any new features etc should be smoothness. The app is already beautiful and all, but smoothness would make it heaven. :)

[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Yeah that image wasn't a concept drawing... It was a screenshot so I really have no clue what you are talking about with that lol it was done after I finished everything with the final graphics.

As for speed issues for everyone, I'm extremely confused as to where they are coming from, the reason I made this was so that I could make the whole thing smoother and for me it is sooo much smoother then the classic layout. Especially for those of you saying the lag is unusable, I can't imagine why that's happening. Hm oh well hopefully I'll figure it out soon. Hard to troubleshoot when I don't get these issues!
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
Maybe because we're not on aosp roms.

[Android Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
To be fair, the lag that I thought I had may not even be lag...Just been playing around with it a bit and all seems great!
[Android Apps and Games] Ekofasc:
The lag isn't terrible on my N4 with CM10.1, but it stutters when scrolling through messages, whereas there's no notion of stutter at all in the stock app, or for example Falcon Pro which is a twitter app of course but also with a card layout. I believe Falcon Pro wasn't as lag free in the beginning as it is now so there must be things a developer can do about it.

Another thing, when a new message arrives, the whole thread goes blank for a second, until the new message starts sliding in.

Smilies are broken again, have been for the last couple of versions.

(Yes, I'm famliar with the settings related to this, hence I'm reporting it's not working correctly)
[Android Apps and Games] klinkdawg:
Someone experiencing lag, try going into developer settings and checking force hardware acceleration. I think that has to be where the problem is coming from that hw acceleration is for some reason being turned off by some roms. That's really the only thing I can think of.
[Android Apps and Games] can6rxw:
My wife and I love the app but it does one thing I don't like, which is a deal-breaker. When my daughter sends me pictures, attachments or whatever, they don't show up. The stock app works fine with these as well as the Facebook messaging app. Other than that, it's my prefered one. If that was fixed, I'd be a happy camper! Side note...if it's a setting, then it should be enbabled by default.
