Let me explain then.

On my homescreen and on my lockscreen I use UCCW to display unread messages and unanswered calls.

This is a nice feature that let me se whats new without leaving the lockscreen.

When using handcent, gosms or stock sms app the counter will reset when the message is read since the all use the same database for incoming sms.

When using SmartMessenger the counter will still show x number of unread messages even thou I have read the messages in SmartMessenger. It stays this way until I read the messages in a different app.

So what I want is for the counter to reset after the messages is read. I guess the problem is that SmartMessenger is using its own database and not share database with the stock messenger app?
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Correct, SM can secure and encrypt data... and it uses more information than standard, so stock DB is just not suitable
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Are you actually requesting using a proper profile on G+ ? LIke with correct information ? Or are you using nicknames + fake info... cause I just see them as spam and deny
[Android Apps and Games] svortevik:
In that case, is it possible to make SM send a command to the standard db that says that the message is read as soon as i open it in SM?

Or maybe you can send a email to the developer of UCCW and make him have support for SM and unread count. I know that a lot of people use UCCW or other widgets that shows unread count.
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
I think the problem there is shorty the database for SM will be user key encrypted, so not really wanting any app or service to have direct access to it... let me have a think...
[Android Apps and Games] Evil Genius Jr.:
IF you can't do that is there a way to mark them as read before passing through? It says I have unread SMS in the stock app and blinks the LED even though I am only using SM and the messages are read there. I suppose once backup is implemented there is no need for pass through though...
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
indeed, but I may want to rip the backup out as a standalone in addition to having it in SM, so gotta be good.... I'm also thinking of after release value add things like icon indicators like iOS and lock screen info... but they are trimmings after the core is done
[Android Apps and Games] Xplorer4x4:
My G+ uses screen name but has my avatar as well. Don't see why you would mark it fake. One look at my profile will quickly show you android enthusiasts and devs. Plus the request still shows as pending, atleast on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
try again...as in right this second... and will have a look
[Android Apps and Games] saul1991:
Mine is purelife I don't have a pic or anything
[Android Apps and Games] Xplorer4x4:
Canceled request(it was still pending) and put in a new one. Sorry I couldn't get to it right then and there..I was busy..
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
yeah, no requests... I suspect it only allows complete and valid profiles, google thing... so they just don't show up in the request list...sorry guys
[Android Apps and Games] Xplorer4x4:
lol it is complete and valid. I have no problem joining other private g+ groups.
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
well I just approved 3 more, list is empty again... so no idea then
[Android Apps and Games] JORDVN:
This SMS app looks so nice! Really looking forward to seeing this progress. I'd like to join the beta if that's alright. I sent a request

NOTE : there is a backup that is left in there, don't play, use, comment on it quite yet, it's there cause I'm working on it but needed to test this theme fix so didn't take it out!

restore should be done tomorrow btw
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
ooops

I apologize in advance for the next update... I kind of had to refactor something quite large, and there WILL be many things that wont work, I will check as best I can, but report on g+ or xda thread and will fix asap!
[Android Apps and Games] Mac of York:
Dean... This has grown so much. Thanks for letting me help you test it.

REQUEST

OK who here sends lots of MMS's and does not mind sharing the actual "PUSH" pdu data with me? What this is, is a data message in the form of a broadcast sms (1 or 2 combined) that is the header and info for the device to get an mms message.. it MAY have telephone numbers in there... not really sure tbh, dont think it has message content, most of it is just the address on where to actually get the main mms message from, as in server stream and data etc... I can rig SM to save these header push messages to a folder on SD card and would need them mailing to me ... anyone willing ? I ask cause it's very expensive here in the uk for me to do tests, so like 50 odd tests or different mms messages would maybe cost me $25
[Android Apps and Games] Evil Genius Jr.:
I think I can help, just send me a PM. Not sure how I would do it though lol.
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
I will give you a system code to enable it... then all that happens is when an mms is received, the push header would get saved into a dir on the sd card... then you just mail me a zip with them in... I need to start understanding the structure and being able to extract the vitals from it... there is no actual mms data there... just will be the pointers/headers... cheers for this btw, will release a version where that can be enabled
[Android Apps and Games] Evil Genius Jr.:
Okay, sounds good! I'll try and get you the info tonight.
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
... well on version 82b.. that I have just pushed to playStore... if you long press on logo and enter the code "enabledebug" ... now you should be able to go to settings, and there will be a debug tab/page with a single switch to start saving PSU WAP Push messages to sd, just turn that on, and when you have a few zip them up and mail me smartmessenger.android@gmail.com
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
please hold off gathering mms data for me if you plan to until version 85b.... thanks
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
I've got the 85b installed and have the MMS info capture enabled. I'll send any MMS info I get your way. thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
version 90 saves that info to root of sd, you can mail me at smartmessenger.android@gmail.com Thanks for this :)
[Android Apps and Games] Koragg618:
Do you still need testers for this anymore? I text a lot so maybe I can help if you'd like :D
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Have you requested access ?
[Android Apps and Games] Koragg618:
Yes indeed, +Harsh Arutla

EDIT: Just got accepted, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
UPDATE : new release 91b

* put ads in, then took them out... they are soo ugly!!!

* implement long press menu on "new message" button, cause..!

* fixed a gdrive bug, repeat uploading on fails (connection weak etc)

* Also for those testing MMS, there are new options and a new message type...mms, the setting are in the debug area... now... I do not think it will work at this time, and there is only 1 method I have enabled (although 2 exist, AOSP and nokia)... only nokia is active... the other simply wont do anything.. there is no "redundancy" by design in this testing.. that is if an mms fails (as it should) there will be no other attempts.... also there is no connection handling at the moment, so you have to have wifi off and be on the data connection... I'm leaving it in just to know the response codes from your servers... a notification should pop up when a send attempt is complete
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
REQUEST

can anyone with an xxhdpi phone, (full hd screen on a phone <5.5inch) please have a look at the sensy theme and tell me if anything is wrong ?
[Android Apps and Games] JORDVN:
Just went through the theme and I didn't see anything wrong with it. I'll report back if I missed something. :D
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Thanks so much for checking..
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Release 0.03.108

few important things

1st the changes

* Bug fixes

* Few theme fixes

* bigger notification text (multiline)

* mark as read now in notification

now the other sh*t, wanting testing on the commercial aspect, so I have implemented a few things (I really want this bit out the way quick so I can concentrate on anims, visuals, editor and mms)

* implemented ads, purchases etc... the aim here is if you turn on ads, you get everything (to try it) the other option is you purchase the subscription that has a free trail (DONT DO THIS!!) So thats to give users an incentive to buy, but the freedom to try :)

what needs testing, people with ad blockers... need to see if this works/doesn't etc

purchases, if you contact me 1st I would very much like people to test out purchases to enable features etc (I will obviously refund hence needing to contact me 1st)

so not only am I looking for varied test on this, also wanting opinions etc...

Thanks all :)
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Release 0.04.115

[Android Apps and Games] SinCityAtNight:
Have ad blocker and also willing to test mms. Just asked to join community
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Thanks but I think I'm done with the ad testing stuff now, so currently disabled... not a fan to be quite honest. To test MMS, I will ask on the g+ group for people to be available over hangouts to do a few tests if your interested... not sure when, but keep and eye out

also watch the videos, I will be doing more that explain most of the options and functions in SM
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Release 0.04.119

* moved notification related globals from processing tab into new notifications tab in settings

* new global notification LED controls (Color on off time)

* added LED control to rules and filters for different colors for different people/matches :)
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Release 0.04.120

I actually find setting custom LED colors for different contacts quite handy!! Girlfriend flashes RED very quickly!
[Android Apps and Games] vselca:
This is moving quick....ready to be an every day sms replacement yet?
[Android Apps and Games] dimasp6:
I can't seem to find a way to change the theme, am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
yes your missing lots

settings > sidepanel ... themes in the tools section :)
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
erm, yeah, I guess, the big thing left is mms, but wanting to wait till the kit kat announcements, cause they may make it really easy...

erm, yes, you can use it as a replacement/primary sms app... just dont forget to do a snapshot every now and then to google drive, settings > sidepannel- backups
[Android Apps and Games] vselca:
Understood...thanks a lot.

Hi

For the next release can you add the ability to answer multiple messages using the pop up window, sometimes I get more than one , using the pop up window I can only use one ,

I think that will be a nice feature

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Yeah I want this, I just have to come up with a nice design that will allow easy switching etc.. I have a few ideas on how I want to implement it... but not sure I can do it right now or soon tbh, mms and translucent/glass theme functions are my current tasks
[Android Apps and Games] lateral18:
Wouldn't it be just adding a arrow to switch between conversations .

Those features sound great
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
If all you wanted was the function rather than a pretty solution then, erm, little more than that but yes, not that hard
[Android Apps and Games] mrjraider:
Yeah, finnaly in open beta on play store. Well done mate. I'm happy to help testing :)
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
haha, yeah, well not making a song and dance about it till feature complete, but yes, there for anyone to wander across now.... still buggy, still beta, still unfinished...but there :) And very odd, 2 people have actually purchased it! Even though it's all unlocked!

Why it doesn't show my messages which are there in my stock app?

THANKS Button ✌

is there to save Thanks post indeed :D
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
I really don't know what it could be tbh, and I think in this case it has to be the ROM that is the cause, not necessary the ROMS fault, could be mine. But without the phone and rom, remote debugging it would be a bit of a pain tbh.
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
UPDATE

new version pushed to play. "0.0.33"

Visual change on images and thumbnails (they get hidden and the space consumed if not applicable or present) (thats app wide)

Added "Sync stock sms database" in settings > tools report back any success or ... erm ... none-success :)
[Android Apps and Games] b1ue:
I agree. This is a very early build of the ROM and it's expected to have bugs. Hopefully upcoming updates will solve the problem or may end up reverting to 4.2.2 backup. Either way, I really like the app (although I can't use it atm:D).

Will definitely keep it installed and test when I can. Thanks for your time
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
When I get more core features done, I may hit you with a debug build, to test in your case, cause I fking hate unknowns, they piss me off, like what's that song again ?? ugh!!!
[Android Apps and Games] b1ue:
Lmao I understand... That's why I keep a soundhound widget on my desktop:p

Kidding aside, I will keep you updated. I'm sure it will work in future builds... I doubt I'll stay on this one long.
[Android Apps and Games] jeyml:
Hello,i have sent a request to join the tests.I really like how this app looks and i would really like to test it.Thank you,and keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
UPDATE

version 0.0.34 now has a fixed version of "stock sms db" import.. is uploaded to play and will be available in next few hours I would think.
[Android Apps and Games] ohraii:
Thanks, working good! Looking forward to future development. :) I'm really liking the look of it so far.

Very nicely done, dev. :good:

One thing I miss in the app right now is all the latest emojis. Do you have any plans on adding them or do we have to settle with what we got? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
Nice work Dean. This looks to be very promising. I've been using 88sms (a port of cm sms in Playstore) but as things are progressing, this looks to be my replacement sms/mms in due time. Keep up the good work & active forum. Thank you for your efforts!
[Android Apps and Games] SebRut:
Just downloaded it, when I try to set up GDrive it keeps loading, but if I'm checking theSettings dialog it looks like its set up :) Keep testing ;)

//EDIT Just noticed that the blue box that appears when holding on a number doesn't fit the corner of the box.
[Android Apps and Games] Zephyr!:
After seeing the screenies I really want to try this, have to become a member at G+? Eh? :rolleyes:

Make.Believe

If you're good at something

Never Do It For Free - JOkER
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
can add as many emoji sets as I want really, just the main reason for the app being 5mb and not 2-3mb is a single set of emoticons!!! are they really worth it ? :)
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
thats the way of play/beta testing ... so ... yeah :)
[Android Apps and Games] Rox598:
Anyone tell me how the app handles long messages? (like 3-5 long) Slidding messaging has a problem and never sends them for some strange reason so want to try another new SMS app
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
this is early beta, but I've tested with 1,000+ characters that make up 4-5 sms parts and it works fine.... let me know if not and will look into it

But sliding messaging is the standard AOSP source with some visual mods ? It even uses the stock sms backend and database so it should also do them fine ? maybe a rom/phone prob?
[Android Apps and Games] Rox598:
All as one message it sends yeah? i'll do some testing and report back :)

One thing is do i have to open then app and then slide every time and select imported to load all my messages rather than them all there right away?
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
watch the video, since it's early beta it will operate in different modes. I always say use "process and passthrough" that means it gets all texts, but so does anything else. And yes it would send any amount of 165 x X chars as a single sms, there could be a network limit imposed, but never really tested it.....

(Runs off to test it)
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
well I just sent a stupid amount, 3 parts were ok, but I think I just attempted a 8 part one, still waiting for it to come through... it didn't error on sending
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Hmm, didn't come through, looking into why ... could be a network limit
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Cause it has nothing to do with other apps... If you want you can import them
[Android Apps and Games] lateral18:
It's your app,.it was just a suggestion , the other features are important
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
sorry I just read my sentence back to myself and see it could have been taken as snappy "if all you wanted, huh,huff,tut!" but was in no way meant to be... it was more, "if you would be happy with a solution like just an arrow to go to the next unread conversation then yes, should be easy :) "
[Android Apps and Games] lateral18:
Lol

It's alright , I didn't take in a mean way, now I'm curious ,

what else do you have in mind to read the next message ?

=>Since monday's update , every time I select to send a picture , S M crashes , even if I do it from the gallery, or if I Start the message with a picture ,

Maybe it's the phone acting up again. I'm putting it into consideration .
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
At the moment I changed a fetch library and having some transitional problems, should be sorted in a few versions, also going to adapt one of the chat views that show information on the top.....erm for the multi reply I perhaps wanted a nice array of pics and names along the top, swipeable etc ... will think more when bugs fixed
[Android Apps and Games] Zephyr!:
Ok got that. :)

THANKS Button ✌

is there to save Thanks post indeed :D
[Android Apps and Games] lateral18:
The bugs are important to disappear

I got a question, is ir possible to implement a function that shows when the other person that has SM , has seen the message and its typing , does it need to have a data connection to do so ??
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
indeed it would require a fair amount of ip data and server to do such a thing, currently SM is not an internet messenger.
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:

Installing on my nexus 5, now I've stopped venting about the postage situation ;)
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
lol, there really should be vent thread, or a, "keep us all up to date with your feelings and the status of your order" thread :)
[Android Apps and Games] Jonnyw2k:
So far my views are:

It's a nice app, and works well.

I have a few quibbles:

The notification LED worked first time, but hasn't worked since.(only received about 10 messages so far)

The line break between the content and the date stamp spaces loses quite a lot of space.

Will use it a bit more before giving my full views :)
