Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

Is the Unicode strip included in new version?
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
Unicode stripping has been temporarily commented out while I add in the character/message counter. Back in tomorrow
[Android Apps and Games] sergini:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

Galaxy nexus.
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
I have tweeked the unicode stripping, it was removing #, @ etc. I not just replaces chars like í and à with i and a. I am also having the char-counter reflect this.
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
Thank you for you help on this matter, have you tested the latest updates, for the time being, it should just show your image as the 'unknown contact' image.

I am using the Galaxy Nexus to test the app, so it looks like your provider as blocked the ability to pull you number from your sim (to get your image) so I am going to implement a few ways of doing it and just look through until I get the picture and number (for quick contact badge).
[Android Apps and Games] Eavesdrop:
What messaging app are you using ? It looks so elegant, can you share it with us? :D
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

Give me a hint when unicode stripping is included :)
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
I will upload a version now. Should be available in about an hour.

Its stock with a few changes, I would give u the link but not here, it wouldnt be fair for the dev
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
Hey, its cool with me buddy. share away.
[Android Apps and Games] Eavesdrop:
Ooops, sorry I forgot.

I just checked it out, it's cool to have something like this on a smartphone, kinda brings back the old times when there are no smartphones yet. Looking forward for future updates. :cool:

I have just added the option for delivery notices...before I make this feature public I would like to put in some customization for users. If any of you would like your favorite color combinations in the the app, let me know.

The themes will consist of background color, Sent message color, received message color.

If you would like to add a color theme to the list just send me the colors you would like. (you can look up some here: http://0to255.com/) You can even pick a name for the theme.

UPDATE

I have just started work on a HUGE update that will allow you to flick between all messages and convocation view between the contact you select. This will be a big task, so unless there are any major bugs discovered there may not be an update for a couple of days. I will work as fast as I can though :D
[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

Awesome! Keep us posted
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
New feature update

It seams I works quicker than I thought...

Those of you that wanted conversation view (you and just one other contact)....its on its way.

You can now just slide the screen to the right (option to reverse it for you lefties) you can pick a contact or switch back to 'all'...

A little pic for you.

I hope this will satisfy those of you that wanted this feature.
[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

Wow, you're fast. Does it work with numbers that aren't contacts
[Android Apps and Games] mr_nickless:
adding some options will be great :)

ideas:

*Threads

*pop out

*bubble color change?
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
Good question,

What happens is, the code that crabs the list of convasations trys to get the contacts name but if it cant find it, it just returns the number. so yes, it works just fine with numbers that arent contacts, it will just show their number and a 'unknown contact' image.
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
Thank you for the ideas, threads (if you mean what I think you mean) has just been added (look at the last few posts by me), I have also added a few different color schemes (feel free to send me your color ideas). I promise to add a pop out menu (like handcent and Go) soon, I just want to do it in a way that does not bug the user.
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

Great app!

Want to get rid of as as fast as possible. Pro version on the way?
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
Hey chap,

Just emailed you, I plan on putting an in-app purchase in to get rid of ads (about 69p), I want to test the payment feature a lot first before I enable it.

p.s I use two of your uccw skins :) great work.
[Android Apps and Games] mr_nickless:
Btw the best pop out i ever used had this options :

1.View

2.Read(marks as read)

3.Close

just an idea

slide to one side inside thread leads to thread menu

slide to other new massage

[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

Just make sure there is an option to disable it.
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
The slide to the right to make a new message is a great idea, I will put that on my todo list, thank you. Everyone on this forum has been very helpful and supportive, Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
That was exactly what I meant about being annoying, handcent and Go both enable it by default. I am not totally sure I want it there as default, it is a feature that (i personally) turn off as soon as I install an sms app.
[Android Apps and Games] oldsap:
how do i delete sms?
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
I am currently trying to decide if I should have delete sms remove it from the phone or just hide it from the app.

Do you have a prefrence?

When I have decided you will be able to delete it by long holding on it or swiping it.

At the moment (for safety to user) you cannot delete any messages. sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

Maybe just the app. We can "hide" texts rather than completely delete them. Or maybe include an option? Delete/Hide texts?
[Android Apps and Games] Hardcore69er:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

I'd rather swipe to delete
[Android Apps and Games] Roundtableprez:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

I'd like to see a settings menu for notifications and the such. Pretty good though
[Android Apps and Games] oldsap:
an option in the settings would be great either to hide it or delete it. personally, i prefer complete deletion from the phone.

another thing, when typing a name of a contact that's in the phone book, some of them don't show up as suggestions

Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

UI Suggestions and stuff:

When I send a new message, the send button should have a background color and a color when pressed, just like stock messaging app (I think). When entering in text into the text box and contract box on the new message screen, make it look like ICS/Jb for gingerbread users.

Nice app, cool holo UI, :good:

Why Ads ???????

[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

Ads to make a little revenue off users. Eventually a donate version will be released which will remove ads for a small sum.
[Android Apps and Games] PenguinxEnjoi:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

Here's some screens of what I mean, first pictures is what I want.

The text box where I type looks like holo ui, but yours does not. The send button has a background color when pressed, yours does not.

Updates

Hi all, sorry for the lack of updates in the last 18 hours. Been working hard on adding support for 1to1 message views (thread views) I am happy to say I have finally finished it, the code needs to be tidied up a lot but is works smoothly (need to test on low end phones) and is mostly bug free.

I want to add a couple more features before I release the next update (will be a big change for most users).

I will get round to replying to the rest of the messages asap.

Here are some pics (where there is fuzz/static is where it shows you the mobile number of the contact)
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
Thank you for your messages, as atrix4g18 said, Ads help support the developer (me), When I feel that the app is stable I will enable an in app purchase to remove ads, this will be less than $1.
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
Thank you for your input, I will be adding the colour changes on button presses and long presses. The reason this is not there at the moment is because I am not using the 'official' Holo UI, I am instead using the Sherlock library, doing this adds support for older devices (that do not support Holo). If you have any further design ideas I would love to hear more. Thank you again for your input.
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
More updates

Thought you guys might like to know, I have just fixed a huge bug in the app that was causing lag when scrolling through messages and when typing reply's. The app now runs much smoother, the great news is there is still more I can go to speed it up. I have also put in a loading animation for when you have a HUGE list of messages as well as a way to handle the loading in the background to avoid any obvious lag.
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

Maybe a Clear List feature
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
can you expand on that a little please, I do not follow (its been a long day) :)
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

Delete all messages.

As now we have to do that in the stock messaging app, right?
[Android Apps and Games] PenguinxEnjoi:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

Any progress on the new update?
[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
Re: MessageFlow, Twitter style sms manager

Read, there's tons. He will release soon enough.
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
Correct, at the moment you cannot delete messages at all. The ability to do so is on my todo list, to delete message you will swipe or long hold it, to delete a whole tread you will long hold on the contact name in the side menu. I will add this ASAP.
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
Progress is going smoothly, at this point the app has been re written, It is now smoother and faster.

I will be releasing the "Conversation List" update today and proceeding to release smaller updates that add the most highly requested features over the next few days.

I will post more when I have a more clear ETA.

Thank you for your interest.

UPDATES

Quick update, There is one small bug to fix (the listener for new messages) and then I will release the update.

To clarify, The next update will not add all the features that you have requested, It will add the thread/conversation as well as some speed/smoothness improvements.
[Android Apps and Games] oddie95:
thread/conv.? is that like common feature in any message apps? then its great, i guess only look all thread in one place is really difficult.

oh by the way there are a bug, when im try to add recipement, the text still white after i choose the contact and made me confuse since he/she have three number. oh and it cant slide down. and last there are any notification when message come.

my idea:

what if you add swipe option to change to another thread, it would be easier.

but rest of all i like it :D

P.S: prefrence option is not availabe?

im using Galaxy Ace, Gingerbread-Rooted ROM :D

Sent from my GT-S5830
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
thread/conv is a common feature, but as I made this app originally for a friend that wanted to just see one list with all messages it does not currently have it.

Thank you for your bug report, I will look into this.

The swipe to change thread is a good idea, if you look back a few messages you will see that I have already put that in.

I am working on a preference menu but it will not be in the new release.

I am glad you like the app, even if you do not want to keep it as your main sms app, please keep on on your phone and test it out every now and then to let me know what you think.
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
UPDATES

UPDATE IS NOW ROLLING OUT :D

As I have stated before, this update does not yet contain all the features you requested but adds the Thread view that so many of you asked for.
[Android Apps and Games] oddie95:
what a fast respond-- haha :D

and did you just update and fix the bug u tell you? :o

well im ready to become beta-tester, since i really hope and see a potential this app will be my main sms apps in Gingerbread :D

i know you stated that but i will be waiting that feature come :)

oh yeah btw, you should clean the first post. make it really transparent so everyone know your work from start up till the newest, and add screenshot so people interested to download and use it, adding FAQ section would be great too :)

Sent from my GT-S5830
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
As the bug does not effect the phones I test on so you will have to let me know if the changes I made fix the issue.

I hope you like the update when it goes live. Let me know what you think :D Thanks for your help
[Android Apps and Games] oddie95:
no its still not :(

its still can't to swipe down when the contact suggestion appear and contact name in reciepment still white, except if you block/try to copy paste the name appear

sorry my bad english

[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:

Could you please let me know what version of android you are running, and on what phone (I assume GT-S5830)

I am sorry again.

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned, but a good feature I would love to see is being able to set a custom image as the background ala Go and Chomp SMS.
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
Thank you for your input.

I would like to make this app as customization as possible, I have just finished work on custom color schemes, I then will add the ability to add custom background images. I would like to make it so that you can set a custom background image + color scheme for each contact.
[Android Apps and Games] Krazy_Talk:
That's awesome. I just started getting FC. The model of my phone is in the sig, but I'm running ICS (4.0.4). Thank you for all your hard work!
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
I think the reason for your crash is because you have a convosation that just has one message (that you have sent) Could you check if that is the case please

for example if you have txt someone and they have not yet replied.

I have fixed this and uploaded the patched version, It should be with you soon.

FC when i open a thread :\

Conversations are now shown, however texts that I sent are appearing as sent by them. **But not all texts** It is not a reversal of sender either. Just some texts are shown as sent by Person A when sent by Person B and vice versa.

While in a conversation the even changed from me to the person I had texted. Just suddenly changing sides and all. Very stange, I do hope you can fix it.

Atrix 4G, CM7, Telus (Canada).
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
I know its tricky but is it possible for you to take a screen shot?

Thank you for reporting this bug.
[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
**More**

- After a text is sent the conversation is not refreshed. It should be.

- Even after pressing the refresh button after sending a text the latest message I sent does not appear. **Only by leaving the conversation and returning will the message be shown**

- After typing a message and pressing the send button the text block (where the whatever you type goes) remains. **It should disappear right after**

- Pressing back while in a conversation should bring the list of conversations from the side. I know swiping does this but the back button has been used in other apps and makes sense.

Keep up the great work!

[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
I returned to the app to take a screenshot and all conversations were in the correct place.

Here is how I can explain..

**What was sent**

Me: Yeah iPhones can't do that.

Them: Android I guess?

Me: Testing this awesome SMS app.

Them: Nothing how bout you?

Me: What's up?

Them: Hey

Me: Hi

**What it would show**

Them: Yeah iPhones can't do that.

Them: Android I guess?

Me: Testing this awesome SMS app.

Them: Nothing how bout you?

Me: What's up?

Them: Hey

Me: Hi

**Or**

Me: Yeah iPhones can't do that.

Me: Android I guess?

Me: Testing this awesome SMS app.

Them: Nothing how bout you?

Me: What's up?

Them: Hey

Me: Hi

Sorry, I hope that makes sense. I will let you know if it happens again.
[Android Apps and Games] Crocodile1973:
And for me after latest update
[Android Apps and Games] wookoouk:
Thanks for the notes.

- After a text is sent the conversation is not refreshed. It should be.

I am working on this, I just need to put in a way to get the current fragment from the main activity

- Even after pressing the refresh button after sending a text the latest message I sent does not appear. **Only by leaving the conversation and returning will the message be shown**

same issue as above, will be fixed at the same time

- After typing a message and pressing the send button the text block (where the whatever you type goes) remains. **It should disappear right after**

I will add this now

- Pressing back while in a conversation should bring the list of conversations from the side. I know swiping does this but the back button has been used in other apps and makes sense.

I will add this now

:D thanks for the input
[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
Awesome!

- Another suggestion, (though far from necessary) would be pull down to refresh in conversations. Much like facebook and tons of apps have now. It is sort of the new standard for a refresh button.

Bugs are priority, but if it is easy enough to implement, great!

notes

I am very glad that it is working for most of you now. I released the big update earlier, went out to relax and it was not working on my sisters phone *face palm*

I am working very hard on the app and getting very little sleep, but it is worth it when I get such lovely comments of you guys, you have all put in some really great ideas and I intend to add all of them (even if they are an option in the setting menu)

I will have another update coming out in the morning (11:26pm here) that will fix more bugs and add some of the ideas this forum as put in.

Since the last update (an hour ago) I have changed the default screen from that horrible 'hints' screen to a list of ALL messages,

I have made the BACK button change that was asked for (another great idea), added theme support, (themes work but the colors I have picked to the optional themes are very.....60's:)

I have added the ability to toggle the contacts menu,

added a setting menu (dummy items at the moment other than the themes)

those of you that have YOUR contact show up as "me", I am working on a solution for this, the reason for the bug is that I cannot get your mobile number from your phone to display a contact card, so what I am going to do is give you the option to select YOUR contact so that it will show correctly, this is not ideal but as there is not offical way to get your phone number, I do not have much choice.

P.S MMS support is in the works too

P.P.S and advert removal
