[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
SmartMessenger

Aim : To be the most visually customisable, adaptive and secure SMS app there is. Oh and the best looking :)

​

Open Beta

There is now a play store listing for SmartMessenger without so anyone can try the beta and not have to join google+ Please note I still consider this a beta (but obviously open to anyone) so any suggestions or requests, comment in this thread. The G+ beta group (restricted) is still live and will get early versions.

The kind of input I'm after is from "you" the potential user:

Help me prioritise the development and order of features

Suggest corrections, amendments or additional features

Find and eliminate bugs

Features and Status​

SMS messaging and emoticons

MSMS (Media\Link SMS)

This is also done and uses google drive to send full size images (as doc link) inside the sms. This to me is better than MMS that costs way too much here in the UK and has very silly limitations. Ability to send any type of file and maybe any size, connection allowing! The other individual if not using smart messenger will get a link, if they do use an app capable of resolving links, it will be presented in a icon form!

SmartMesseges SMS

This is a special type of message that will still be handled over sms, more info soon

More details shortly

Procedural UI generation

This is done and working, it's what the current themes use. Basically it builds android drawable resources at runtime. So no static xml or bitmaps. The advantage of this is not space, or speed for that matter. But it will allow me to implement a theme/visual creator that will allow users to create and mod any aspect of the visual UI

This also breaks from the norm. as I don't agree with lots of googles own guidelines, I want to be able to have 1 handed operation on my phone, thats why this app doesn't currently follow the actionbar pattern, well that an many other reasons :)

There is an online theme library currently of about 8 or 9, always up for suggestions :)

TO DO: Advanced in-app theme creator

Message Box Management

Can currently create message boxes and have them as targets/destinations for messages. Locking features are there, I'm just looking at the best ways to allow unlock/unhide while it's not apparent that anything is hidden :)

TO DO: Enable security and locking features, implement global unlocks

Filters and Rules

This allows creation of simple, but powerful rules to control anything from message box distribution, forwarding, autoreply, notification controls to even daisy chaining units together and having multiple units spider the messages. Also includes REGEX triggers too

Rules can be used to trigger custom reactions, notifications, LED colors, auto replies and forwarders etc

Schedules

As it stands you can schedule texts and have any time periods you want, and add ending conditions like amount or date/time

TO DO: Test and maybe add adaptive elements to it, such as a variable part that is populated based of some rule (like happy Xth brithday) and it fills in X :)

Notifications

The notifications are controllable per person via rules and filters, and can trigger and override all options with things like custom vibration patterns sounds popups etc

Secret Messagebox and Messages mode (Blind Security)

Want to hide something and not show that it's hidden ? Watch the security vid for an overview!
