I was also gonna suggest font size, but i will leave other suggestions then=p

first one is the dark popup, its much better looking in my opinion! my other suggestion is regarding the text boxes. sometimes, there is a space right below the time of the message when the message is only one line long. It seems like it does not wrap text properly when the message is only one line long. I dont know if im making myself clear, but if im not tell me and i will post a screenshot explaining what i mean.

One other thing, is it possible to make the popup a little smaller?it is kinda big

Great app, one of my top 3 SMS apps (and i have used a looot of them). Keep up the good work!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Thanks for the kind words. I'll address your suggestions in order.

Could you elaborate on the direct call thing? You can call a contact by clicking the call button from a thread or by clicking their avatar. If that's not what you mean please explain.

iPhone emoji option is coming.

Here's the way I have things: you can change the overall theme, which changes the background color of the conversation list and message thread, and the actionbar color (and status bar/nav bar if you have translucent setting). If the background is dark the font is light, and if the background is dark the font is dark. You can change the message bubble colors and select either a light or dark font.

I have no plans on adding the ability to change more colors (such as font color). The reason for this is I want the app to be customizable but have a clean and consistent look. Currently the only thing you can do to make the app look ridiculous is change the message bubble color. If I added an option to change all the font and background colors to whatever you want, it could get really ugly.

I am not trying to limit people's creativity, I am just trying to provide an app that is well-designed and has a consistent look. I understand there are other apps where you can change all kinds of colors and that's cool for them, but my app has a certain style that I would like to preserve. Sorry.

For now, you are stuck with a light or dark font and the background colors you have to choose from (gray, light, dark).

Font size option is coming.

See above.

The space under the date appears when the large avatar is used and the message bubble has a certain minimum height. This actually bothers me quite a bit as well and I have tried to fix it subtly with no success. Rest assured I can and will fix it very soon.

I plan on redoing the popup entirely so wait for that :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] rastigo:
[MENTION=1669909]matt_stang[/MENTION], by direct call i mean when a conversation is open and the phone is taken to the ear, the contact is called directly. I have provided the link to the mod in my earlier post which has this option incorporated so you know what I am talking about. Thx

Stopping by to report a bug, when i am replying on the popup reply, if i receive another sms, the text i wrote is gone and i have to write it again!

edit: this didnt happen in in the aosp version of the popup reply if i remember correctly

Thanks for sharing :D​
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
I repeat my request. If you could change,when I send the message, at the beginning of the message is the word "YOU", you can change to the word " JA " , in Polish translation.

Thank you very much for changing the word

@matt_stang did you have a look at the file link i send you the earlier post regarding direct calling. Its a great feature. Try including the same on your app. Love to have it, if possible
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] migueldbr:
btw you should ask a mod to move this thread to the "Android apps" section, it will get more attention imo
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jfiti19:
First off, fantastic app OP, well worth the donation. Definitely the cleanest messaging app out there.

I had two possible suggestions, if you don't mind considering.

First - Would it be possible to add transparency to the Action bar in addition to choosing colors?

and Second - When looking at the conversations list, whenever there is a group message (or any MMS I think), it will show up as (no subject) under the contacts name like in the attached photo. Is there anyway to replace that with the actual message content?

Thank you!

Here is an other problem :

Notification ringtone linked with the default notification ringtone! It's impossible to change it in SMS app. So it's the same ringtone for Gmail app & SMS text.

Can you separate it?

However it's an awesome app.

Feature Suggestion

Hi,

I've noticed that the new message notification icon does not reflect the

unread message count

.

It certainly not a "must" but it would be nice to have one.

(Behavior: if only one SMS is unread - no counter, only if it's more than one it should appear)

I'm talking about something similar to the missed call counter here (CM style): -see attachment-

Thanks in advance! :)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] sid.8491:
wow..it's so much better than the stock app.

just one suggestion/request............

can you add swipe to delete the thread in conversation list (just like in Evolve SMS).

that would be great...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
I really like this apk, but still not corrected the error, which I described in post # 284 and # 286.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] MarcusOptimus:
[MENTION=1669909]matt_stang[/MENTION] your app is beautiful, thank you... but it crashes when i add a contact in a new message.

Can you fix the bug please? :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Curtaans:
When using the + icon to send to a new contact which isn't in your conversation list first it will bring up your Google Contact (People) interface, once you select a person it will then bring you to it's own Contacts interface, once you select a contact the app will then crash. This is the only thing keeping me from using this app so far.

Another bug

Hey man, great app!

Just thought I would let you know about a bug I have discovered:

In settings there are two options "Translucent status bar" and "translucent nav bar", whenever they are both enabled it works fine, when the status bar is enabled alone it works fine, but when just the nav bar is enabled I get a large black section which occupies most of the bottom of the screen.

I can give more details if required.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Hollow.Droid:
Fantastic app but I'm seeing the above error as well. It's not a show stopper as I can navigate to the contact directly and choose the messaging option there, however it would be nice to get resolved :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] IsoNick:
Read about this today. I have been using 8sms since I got my Nexus 5 for replacing Hangouts. But I love this app.

Keep the updates comming.

What about an option for chaning the led light?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] DrawnToLife:
I really like this app, but I was wondering if you plan on implementing a quick compose persistent notification? It's the one thing that's been keeping me to Textra, but your app is so beautiful.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] macravin:
Could you add a hex option for text color (instead of just light and dark)? I personally want to make it cyan, but a hex option would be best.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] MarcusOptimus:
I found another bug [MENTION=1669909]matt_stang[/MENTION]. :(

If I write a SMS along many rows, it is hidden by the keyboard and is not moved to the top of the display.

Fix it ASAP please!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ThePietn1:
How about an option to change the background and the color of the action bar, that would really make this app perfect for me! (I like to theme it in the Galaxy S5 colors :))
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] chuda.pati09:
A bug I found

I found a bug with the quick response window. When I'm typing a response in that window and I get a text the response I typed up will go away.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] NeBouse:
Thanks for your app man !

Btw regarding theme colors, i use the dark one, and something is bothering me.

Background in a message is plain black, but in conversation list it's some kind of dark grey.

I really believe it should be plain black here too, it would be more consistent.

Any way to change this please ?

Thx.

Could you implement the sliding drawer border shadow like hangouts? That'd be totally awesome

I already requested it via many places though :P

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] daniel_m:
Don't know if this is still a big issue, but slidingmms hogs the CPU a lot on my phone (Droid 4, CM11). It's nothing crazy, but I would say that 15% is unacceptable for an SMS app. Going to switch to the CM SMS app and see how much CPU that one will use ...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bngrybt:
I'm loving this app. My favorite message style in it is tag, but there is one tiny thing that is bothering my graphic design sensibilities.

Text isn't quite centered correctly. You can see it most clearly in the "Hahaha" message. It looks like a space has been inserted before the messages on the right, and after the ones on the left. I'm guessing that the bubble image centers the text based on the boundaries of the entire image including the bubble's tail instead of just the bubble part itself. I know I'm nitpicking over just a few pixels, but it's probably an easy fix and it's driving me nuts. The other two message styles don't have this issue, just tag.

You misunderstood me. Would be great if he inform us, what's going on. Ok, maybe I was a bit too rough writing it, who knows what's wrong with him. We don't. I hope he still working on the app because the problem is that there is no other such good messaging app for me.

Really hope the dev eventually finds the time to update the app because I think he's really onto something here. Being a student myself I can appreciate why he may not have the time right now to work on the app and I think people need to respect that rather than treating him as someone who makes apps for a living.

I'll be keeping an eye on the thread and play store for when he has some time to work on the app again (summer perhaps? :good:)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Hey guys.

I took some time off this to do some other stuff but here's the deal:

I have not abandoned the project. I am actually back hard at work on it.

I decided to ditch the CyanogenMod base and sort of start from scratch with stock Kit-Kat. I think I'll be able to fix some issues this way and also get the app to perform a bit better and be overall more organized.

So far my experience has been pleasant and I think it will be back up to speed in a few days time. I will post something here at that point and probably get some feedback on it before putting it on the market. I'm also going to need to test it with ICS before I can release it for pre-kitkat devices.

I've received a ton of emails and looked over this thread so I've got a lot of features to take into consideration. I should be nice and busy for the next couple weeks so stay tuned

p.s. sorry for disappearing. Started with finals/projects then turned into a bit of traveling and some other business and whatnot
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zamzameir:
Welcome back :) finally.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] rastigo:
[MENTION=1669909]matt_stang[/MENTION] we are happy to see you back
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Fatal_Enigma:
First of all, welcome back! I can't wait to see what gets done with this app.

You should implement a transparent navbar and statusbar if you're basing off kitkat.

Also, another feature you should implement is delivery reports for the o2 network. This involves silently appending *0# to the start of any sent messages and then a delivery report will be received. I've seen this done on evolvesms and it works great.
