Of course SlideOver comes almost directly from Paranoid Android

As for the sliding menu mode, it isn't going to happen. We used to have this functionality where it would open the compose menu, but it didn't remain when we moved to the navigation drawer as a replacement for the right side sliding menu. it didn't work the same and it never will. To many things conflicting and hacky solutions weren't doing it for me.

I honestly am very happy that this "feature" is gone though. The whole idea behind the app is the sliding, thats our roots and that is where it started from. it is different than hangouts for a reason. If you wanted it to be hangouts then this just isn't the app. I want people to keep the sliding on because it does absolutely no good to turn it off, it isn't faster, it isn't smoother, it is the exact same thing just without the added feature. I understand people might not agree with me, and some might like that style more, which is fine, but it isn't coming back

You should probably elaborate to start with. Is sliding messaging the app behind the lock screen, does it only happen when you get a new message, what device are you using, does it only happen when you open it from the notification when the lockscreen is open? You havent really told us anything at all with this description and i can see why GatoL0c0 was confused.

Your on XDA, so the thing to do would be to get and post a logcat for me. Nothing else is really going to do much.

Maybe add circular scrolling for those who have this enabled, which would make it possible to swipe back to the beginning.

I don't expect a hangouts clone, I was just referring to the fact that both apps have pleasing animations and good UI design

App Questions

Just got the App and love it on my Moto X. Two minor questions though:

1) I'm on US Cellular and after looking up APN info (because autodetect APN settings doesn't seem to work on this network) for them online I've entered it in to the app and am able to receive MMS just fine. Unfortunately, I'm unable to send them without resetting the default messaging app back to the primary messaging app and sending through that one. Every time I try to send one via Sliding Messaging the send fails. Do you know of any reason why this might be?

2) When I send small messages (i.e. "ok" & "thanks"), often it will send the message twice. This only happens on small messages. It's not a huge deal, just curious as to why this might be.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Where is the "Resend if failed" option?

Where is the "Resend if failed" option?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
1.) i would try to find some different apns i guess, i really dont know. Or, the best thing you could do is to get us a log of it trying to send. since this is XDA, i assume you can do that :laugh:

2.) we don't send them twice, i am not sure why it would be doing that, but it wouldn't be on our end

long click on any message

oh...I was looking for an auto-resend option.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ambkor:
help

Where did the auto disable WiFi for a short period of time while you are sending a mms went? I really need that option, thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
That option didn't actually do anything at all. It hadn't for months, so it has been removed
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ambkor:
Sorry sir, but you are wrong, the option make my phone turn off Wifi for some seconds to send the MMS, and it work perfectly, now I need to disable Wifi every time I want to send an MMS.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
I am not wrong. You can check the commits here: https://github.com/klinker41/android-smsmms

This is jacobs work and if he says that it didn't do anything, i trust him fully. So if you believe he is wrong, then go in and fix it, prove to us that we are wrong. Because according to any documentation about different data connections, this is how it should be done and this is how it works best.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Thomas_BA:
Well loving this app more and more.

I found something strange by accident. When enabling the SlideOver bubble - i have it set 0% set visible in the screen - and opening YouTube or a movie player i see the complete bubble down right. Happens also when using Vplayer for playing movies, etc.

Attached a screenshot.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Smac7:
My contact pictures are not viewable in this app. Only contacts who i've manually added contact pictures with are showing their pictures. Pictures from facebook are not merged in the app. does this have to do with the stock contacts app on the HTC one not being compatible with 3rd party app? Strangely, when i click the default picture to pull up the contact card, it does show the picture this way.

Will evolveSMS have google voice integration?

Does this announcement that I dug up affect the google voice integration in sliding messaging pro?

Really liking everything so far.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
We will continue the development of sliding messaging

Sliding messaging may or may not be effected, they haven't said anything to us yet. But evolve isn't going to get it, its obvious that Google doesn't want us using it, so we will not

Well evolve is pur own design and sliding messaging is googles. Sliding messaging has Google voice, evolve has more features, evolve has a more powerful theme engine, and evolve is newer. Jacob and I actually knew what we were doing this time around
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GatoL0c0:
Interesting, thanks for the quick reply. Well I'm pretty happy with Sliding Messaging. Maybe in the future when I see a need or want to satisfy my curiosity I'll give Evolve a shot.

apologies if i'm being kinda dumb, but i'm having trouble getting sliding messaging pro to send a message. just purchased it today. i have a samsung galaxy s3, rooted with CM10.2.0 on android 4.3.1. it doesn't bring up my contacts when i type in a contact name. it will display groups (all contacts/family etc) but if i click on any of those nothing happens, not that i want to send an sms to a group. also, under the APN section, it does not show three (UK network)..... am i just being really thick? cheers.

Owe you guys an apology, I hadn't set up xprivacy properly and that's what was causing the problem.

ok, so a friend linked me to a "new cool SMS option"... EvolveSMS. When I looked at the link, it's the same Dev. Tried looking at the two side by side, but getting confused.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] LiquidSolstice:
I'm a little confused by this app. First, I'd like to say I greatly enjoy using it, and because of my rather unique signal issues where I'm currently living, the ability to hot-swap between GVoice and standard messaging on the fly is amazing (however long it's going to last).

But I have niggling issues with this app that I don't understand the reasoning behind.

1. Why do notifications which show multiple messages received separate them out by using a pipe? Whenever I get messages in quick succession, I'm shown the same first message, then the first message and second message, then the first message, second message, and third message, and so on, building on like a pyrimad. This results in my status-bar showing the same message over and over again whenever there's quick messages coming in. Other applications are able to show them as new lines, and therefore, only one message gets flashed across the status bar at once, could this be implemented?

2. What exactly is the red "New Conversation" bar supposed to do? It always seems to go off when there are no new conversations, and there is no context behind it. Pressing it does nothing, sliding to the far left does nothing, going through the conversation list does nothing, and the only way to get rid of it is to leave the app and come back. What is the point of this? I would figure that the most recent conversation would always be to the left, and that indicator is to tell me to slide to the left to see the most recent conversation.

3. I've had to disable drafts completely because for some reason, you are using a toast-message to ask me if I want to apply a draft and it covers up the entire input box and cannot be dismissed, so my only options when I have a draft that I want to discard is to press "Apply" and then delete the draft, or wait it out. I feel like that's poor UX...

4. Is it possible to move the SlideOver orb? I have a Nexus 5 and it is a very tall phone, and it's not really convenient to touch where the orb is located by default. This may be my mistake, but I'm not sure how to move it (if it is even possible).

Please do understand these are meant to be constructive criticisms. I enjoy your work and I was happy to pay full price for SM Pro. I can't say I understand your reasoning for forking off into EvolveSMS, but I do hope you don't leave this app behind.

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
1.) This was how the stock ICS messaging app did it, so that is just how we decided to as well and never really changed it.

2.) It seems like that doesn't work for everyone. Could be that you have a lingering unread message or something, but you can turn off the "in-app notification" from notification settings

3.) You just delete the text, then swipe to a different message to delete it, then when you close the app it will be written into the database as blank. there isn't enough room on the toast bar to have a delete button, so this is the route we went.

4.) Long press and drag will move it

We have talked about the differences many times with the apps and why we choose to do what we did. It comes down to this for me though, sliding messaging wasn't our design, it was basically all google's styles, whereas evolve is 100% how we wanted it to look. We learned alot from sliding messaging while making it, but not everything we learned could be reimplemented without a total re-write. Evolve is that rewrite.

We have no plans to stop supporting sliding messaging, it is at a point right now though that it can manage itself better than evolve can, it is much more mature, so Jacob and I have been spending time getting that one up to speed lately.

Sliding Messaging just got an update this morning with some new features though.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CaptainGoSlow:
On the drafts issue that a few people have raised, whilst I can see there's not enough room for delete to be written, what about a tick and cross option. If there's concern that some might knock the wrong one, they could be out at opposite ends of the toast with the "Apply Draft" in the middle.

Never really something that's affected me, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

Cheers as always on the support you continue to provide on all your apps, can't be easy with everything else too.

The recent update to 8.182 completely stopped my ability to send or receive via Google Voice. I have gone through every suggested method to get it working via the in app help and via the developer website. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. I just cannot get it to work.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rizzen:
Hi, i use this app a while now, and i really like it :good:

but 2 small things bothers me,

1. when i touch in the text field and the keyboard shows up, the custom wallpaper is stretched (as the screen ends at the top of the keyboard)

2. the time out of the "apply found" must be a little longer. so fast i can't touch it so i've to end the messanger and to open it again, so that i will pop up again...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pkt_Lnt:
Thank you for the reply.

Yes I do have the GV app installed. The phone number that everyone knows is a Google Voice number now for two years; I have had the number for five years, and I forward it to my cellphone.

I had to revert to my old messaging that would integrate with GV. I tired to find a log feature, and as stated, I tried all the old and new troubleshooting tips. It just will not send and receive to my GV number, but works fine with the direct cell phone number.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flawedlegacy:
So I fell in love with this app, bought the pro (when normal was still available) and theme pack, then left for EvolveSMS and bought those add ons. Now the office gave me a promotion, which came with a company phone. Ported my personal number via Google Voice to only carry one phone and was suffering with Voice SMS, then remembered this sucker has Voice compatibility! While not as much "eye candy" as Evolve, this is still a VAST improvement over Voice SMS! Back to this for every day use and LOVING life again thanks to it!!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mocklee:
I really, really like this app (along with Evolve SMS), but since I upgraded from my old phone (Motorola Atrix HD) to a T-Mobile Note 3, I've been having issues sending MMS/MMS group messages on both Sliding Messaging and Evolve SMS.

My phone is rooted, running a customized version of the latest 4.4.2 stock rom.

I'm positive that my APNs are correct. Hangouts, along with every other messaging app I've tried, sends MMS messages without a hitch. In the app settings of both Sliding Messaging and Evolve SMS, I've made sure that the MMS size limit is correct, that MMS group messaging is enabled, MMS auto-download is on, and that the APN is correct. But whenever I send an MMS, it appears to send like normal (upload bar and timestamp) and it's never received. I can't receive MMS, either.

When I found out about this, I tested the apps by sending MMS messages to my own number, and sure enough, the messages weren't coming through.

At the moment, I'm using Textra. I'd like it very much to start using your app again, though..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
The best way to help us debug this would be a logcat, since we are on xda, I'm hoping you know and can get one :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mocklee:
Here it is, untouched. I used CatLog to record.

I sent an MMS to myself through Sliding Messaging and waited 30 or so seconds after the message looked like it was sent.

sliding messaging pro dual sim compability

is there any possibility off adding dual sim support for this app???

also there is a bug in the latest version of the app .the keybard becomes black after pressing the back key.

plz reply asap:rolleyes:

Android doesn't natively support dual sim, so it is not something we have the ability to do.

This is what I get on attempt to send via GV. You can see I have data in the status bar. Both Google Voice and Sliding Messaging installed from from Play Store after a clean install of AOSP ROM 4.2.2 onto S4 Active.

I am good at trouble shooting, Linux, OS2, Win, now Android. I am at my wits end, and very frustrated.

This app works cleanly on Google Voice and my phone SIM.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
The second isnt going to change, you can just swipe to a different conversation and back to the one with the draft to make it appear

For the wallpaper, I'm not sure if this can be fixed or not, it applies the background to the window and the window size changes when the keyboard comes up

Did you try just switching accounts then switching back? That will clear out some data. If you only have one account, then turn it off then back on
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pkt_Lnt:
I factory wiped everything, /system, /data, /cache and fresh install the ROM. I logged into Google and then immediately turned off auto restore.

I only have one Google Voice account. I installed GV app and set it up from scratch, rebooted to recovery, wiped dalvik and cache.

Then I installed Sliding Messaging and set it up from scratch, rebooted to recovery, wiped dalvik and cache. .

There was no data to clear with fresh installs of the ROM and the two apps.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
I am sorry it doesn't work for you, but please don't say it doesn't work correctly, cause it does for me every time. i haven't had it hang in months. No force closes in weeks. It works, every time for me. So the concept is there. The implementation is there. It is just that it can't adapt correctly to everyones phones yet because google has no documentation for this sort of thing. None. Nothing about it at all. So, instead of getting mad at us for not having it work 100% on your phone, get mad at the OEM's and carriers who don't do things the same way as stock, which is open source, and can be looked at, so we have no clue how they deliever/recieve or store their messages. It is ALL guess and check, and that takes time. If we change it for one person, that doesn't mean it will work correctly for another, or it will be the same settings for another. Again i am sorry it doesn't work every time for you, I really am, but we are doing our best to fix it, and for 75-80% of people, it should work every single time. maybe not perfect or maybe it still lags a bit, but it works, and it works damn well for me.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CaptainGoSlow:
I've recently tried an app called Fusion Messenger and wondering if using some of the methods in that would help loading. It initially loads to convo screen, then as you select conversations you can slide between them and you can close off conversations too.

Is it possible to have option for us to choose this kind of method or whose conversations we'd want it to load into cache.

Personally loading times for me are nearly as quick as stock on S2, but just thought I'd throw it out there. I also appreciate you may not just want to copy paste other app ideas and that you have overall vision.

I've not been using it for a bit after couple instances where the drafts have ended up under wrong person and I'm turn I've sent message to wrong person. As always though, I know it's work in progress and I'll keep trying new versions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mchu6am4:
Klink, I've lost all my message theme customisation (different colours for send and reply etc) with the latest update? Anyone else experience the same?

EDIT: I can confirm after playing around today that the theme settings have been affected with the latest update... Send and receive colours are the same in custom theme options...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] deathblade:
You should make the in app notification themeable or have color options
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klinkdawg24:
Yes, we have looked into this before, but i don't like it much at all, it defeats the whole sliding purpose if you have to click to open and close different conversations. Although i could definitely see it being faster, it isn't the direction we are looking to take the app

Yup, fixed with the new beta.

Maybe sometime, but just haven't gotten around to it yet
