Yeah there is certainly an issue there. Messaging should be nowhere near the top.. least of all above screen. For what it's worth I've seen that people have had success with a wipe but it's not the most convenient solution.

What I would do, if you haven't already tried, is delete the messaging app entirely, then reinstall it.

e.g., do

adb shell
rm /system/priv-app/Mms.apk

Then push it back after it is completely removed. You may have luck with the standalone version of this app too. In which case you can install it as a regular app (don't push to system.. unless you want to :p). Good luck

Installed it on my N4 today. It keeps crashing every time I open the app. I'm on Omni maybe that's problem (as the first post says only stock and CM?)?

Nice app. I'm going to use this as my messaging app for a while. Is there a reason why I dont have the round icon that is shown in the OP? I still have the old rectangular one. And I'm talking about the app icon not the notification icon.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zelendel:
I love the app and the direction it is going. Have used it on my N4 as well as my HTC one.

I do have one question. I am into heavy theming of my system apps and have themed this to just about the way I want it but have come across something I cant seem to find in the source (refer to Screen shots). Where do I find the grey overlay when the message view screen is not the primary active one.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jsgraphicart:
Update: After using it for a short time, I too noticed the battery drain. My phone was also having a hard time turning on when trying to wake it up and the phone was getting a little warm. I uninstalled it and everything is normal again. Weird issue
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] LudoGris:
I noticed the drain as a system app. The standalone app hasn't given me trouble for many days now.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
I've put the app on the Play Store. You can download it here. I recommend deleting other versions before installing from play store.

The play store is now the recommended option, but the system and standalone versions will remain available and up to date on the first post.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
I too have experienced a significant battery drain from the system version. I recommend sticking with the standalone until I can figure out the issue. It seems to happen randomly (of course..) so it's difficult to pinpoint. I have a hunch it may have to do with the package name, which is completely different for the play store version. I will keep testing and let you guys know if I have a fix or an explanation.

Also, a quick Google search tells me this is a widespread problem and may not be specific to my app (as I've mentioned before). That said, I am still looking into this issue as an alarming number of people have reported the battery drain in this thread.

If you experience battery drain (most people should not) please post which version of this app you installed and what ROM you are running. thanks guys
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
The fade color is set programmatically. I do not set it at all so the default implementation is used. As far as I know (and I have checked) there is no way to set this color using xml.

I assume you are decompiling with apktool or something similar to edit the resources. If this is the case, you will not be able to change this color.

If you are compiling the app from source, all you have to do is add this to the onCreate method of MessagesActivity.java in com.smitten.slidingmms.ui:

mSlidingPane.setCoveredFadeColor( yourColor );

Hope that helps. What I can do for you is this:

Set a color in values/colors.xml called colored_fade_color, then set this color programmatically in the source. That way all you have to do is edit that color to your liking. I've made the changes already but haven't had the time to compile/upload an update. Next update will include this so hang on for a bit.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zelendel:
Sounds good to me. Thanks. Will the next update have XXhdpi support? It works just fine as is, was just wondering.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
I actually just published the update so you should be able to theme the fade color easily now. The color is called "covered_fade_color" located in values/cm_colors.xml. You can download the standalone on first post or download from play store here.

The app is fully compatible with xxhdpi but does not have drawables specifically for it. Therefore, it uses the xhdpi drawables when necessary. This should not affect the way it looks but is not best practice. I do not plan to make xxhdpi drawables at this point in time. I do, however, have plans to move to AOSP 4.4 Mms ( or possibly CM11 ) source instead of CM 10 source, which both have drawables for xxhdpi already.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zelendel:
Outstanding
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zelendel:
OK after doing it up seems the issue is still there for some reason.

It could be what I am doing to it though. Also seems the text input maybe pulling from the frameworks.

After having problems with the first version of this app I installed the standalone from Play Store today.

It keeps crashing on startup, too. :(

I'd really like to use the app but I think the app doesn't like me :D

The standalone app is crashing on my Moto G with stock ASOP Kitkat.

Can the author fix it because the app is really great.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dermann:
I'm sure he could, provided a logcat.

Keep up the good work.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
If you have the latest version the fade color now affects both the list fading and the thread fading. I actually was not calling the write method to set the fade over the thread panel. If you're still interested the color is now under

values > cm_colors.xml > fade_color_light or fade_color_dark

(according to light or dark theme, respectively). Default is the light theme, obviously but now if you are trying to theme the app you will want to just set all the dark or light values how you'd like them. There are some values hardcoded in the styles.xml as well but most will be found in the cm-colors file.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
I can do that.

Can you get me a logcat? I haven't gotten any reports about it on the play store, otherwise I would know the issue. I've fixed a few things today I'll be updating in the play store and the first post as well.

I would love to fix it, I just need a logcat.

Trigger the force close, then

adb logcat -d > log.txt

Attach the log file.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] RohanAJoshi:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] lovermed:
Hi very good app.. But I want it to replace my system mms.. I can't figure out how to get it to work..
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
You can delete your system mms if you want, it is not needed. You don't need to "replace" the system mms though.

If you are not on Kit Kat you can disable notifications in your default messaging app. Otherwise just make Sliding SMS your default (via app settings or system settings)

The app is not signed for system installation so you cannot install it as a system app. You can still delete the system mms app like so:

Kit Kat:

adb shell rm /system/priv-app/Mms.apk

Jelly Bean or under:

adb shell rm /system/app/Mms.apk
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] lovermed:
Thx for the explanation ..I did freez system mms with titanium backup but by doing that I stopped receiving messages.. Weird though.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Neo0:
I tried your updated version but it keeps crashing on startup. I took a logcat with catlog and uploaded it to my Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pjvfl6ga5eb59ez/2014-03-12-23-48-59.txt

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] r3d_ark:
Really cool app!! The slide thing is so handy!!! I love it...;) some suggestions and a request:-

1) dark mode can also be there for settings menu

2) is it possible to add disable sms to mms conversion?? And disable split long messages??? I usually send long texts of about 7-8 pages and its annoying to see it going as mms or split into parts...

3) the message bubble thing in dark mode... Can the colors and/or style be changed??

Just these... And its my default app!!!:D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
1) The dark theme is a work in progress and I plan to extend the theming to all parts of the app when I have time

2) I'm not sure what you mean. I am able to type out messages of 7-8 pages without any splitting or mms conversion. The person receiving the text will likely receive split messages but this is due to sms limitations, not the messaging app.

3) You are welcome to decompile the app and change the colors yourself. Google "decompiling with apktool" if you are not familiar with the process. The colors can be found in res > values > cm_colors.xml. Otherwise, you will have to wait until I get around to adding settings for customizing colors. And yes, I plan to do this. I have some exams coming up unfortunately so I may not have an opportunity to get a lot done until late tomorrow or Sunday.

Great app, and it's good to see how often you develop and update this app.

May I have an request?

It's it possible to make the avatars in conversation list also round like in message list?

Thanks in advance...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
I don't even know what that does but I'll get around to it eventually. Thanks.

And can you elaborate on the first part please?

The most recent update (version 0.5.8) has circle avatars in the conversation list. It should be up within a few hours as I just published it.

EDIT: Also, I don't have time to address you all separately but thanks a lot for helping me find bugs and also for enjoying the app! I do this all in my free time and I'm also a full time student but it's great to be able to work on something other people can enjoy too.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tmacher:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Thanaya:
Hi, this app is great! :good: I use it as my regular SMS app!

Just a few small problems though.. I am using the latest play store version (0.6.0.1) and the app is still the highest battery consumer according to battery stats.. I'm not sure whether the app is actually draining battery or if it's just a false alarm.. Another thing, the latest version seems to be slightly laggy compared to the previous versions (especially noticeable after sending a message or when the message count is high)..

And a small suggestion/request.. Is it possible to add the hangouts animation of sending a message? You know, the animation of the message you just typed appearing in the list.. It's kinda cool.. :p

Thanks again for a great app, and please consider my bug report and suggestion!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Garridon:
when you hold your finger on one if the icons on the action bar, the text is misaligned. Just a small thing I noticed.

Polish translation is not correct. Please correct this error.

Polish is not fully language.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
This is fixed.

I don't know what you mean. There is a sending animation. When a message is sending little dots dance on the message.

Yes this is actually implemented as a "feature." I came across this the other day and noticed it is actually done intentionally. I can disable that though.

This is fixed. Both of those I think.

Yeaaahhh I need to get together all the string resources I've added so I can hand them off to people to translate. I will likely do this tomorrow or this weekend.

I don't know what that is. But I've fixed multiple force close issues recently so... tell me if this persists.

Here's a link to a post I just made with latest version attached. There's a new "blue" theme to give you guys a taste of what's coming :)

Hello sir!!! First of all, great work!! Really smooth and fast!!! But i would like to put forward some suggestions... Plz Implement them if u think they are worth...:p

1) extend themes to settings menu too...esp. The dark... I love that one!!

2) hangouts emoji support is awsome!!! But can u make them a bit small...128x128 is quite big and good for xxHDPI... But mine HDPI screen needs just 50x50 or nearer... My device only lags there while scrolling...

3) like text, an option to change smilies from green to white...

Two things:

1. MMS group messages don't seem to work correctly. A lot of messages sent from iPhone won't display.

2. Can you add an option to use a green icon instead blue?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
1. I have never had any issues with MMS on the app and it is extremely difficult to diagnose all the problems people have (especially when they are using TouchWiz or something similar). I've tested receiving MMS from iPhone multiple times and it works without any flaws. So unfortunately these sort of issues are not high on my todo list because I don't actually know what to do.

2. No. Someone else asked something similar and the only solution I have is maybe adding a widget option that will let you pick a custom color for the icon. Until I get around to doing that you are stuck with the icon as is.

Still do not have a full Polish translation.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
If you want polish translations you'll have to do it yourself. I've attached a text file with Strings that have not yet been translated.

The only thing that needs to be translated is the part in between > <

Like so:

<string name="pref_title_message_avatar">Message avatar</string>

<string name="pref_summary_message_avatar">Show contact photo widgets in message thread</string>

The red part is the only part you need to change. The rest should be left exactly how it is.

If anyone wants a translation in their language they can download this file and translate all the strings, then post it here or email it to me and I'll include it in the app. Note that new strings are added all the time so we'll have to keep doing this as it gets updated.

Also, I've been working on image compression and was hoping you guys could try this out and let me know what the MMS quality is like. apk is attached

Hey Matt. I really hope you could fix this one thing for me. I mount my Nexus 5 in horizontal position in my car and use Google voice recognition keyboard to send SMS while driving. The problem (only exists in horizontal mode) is every time I send a message the keyboard minamizes. With stock messaging or hangouts this doesn't happen. It is a problem while driving cause I have to reopen the keyboard then tap the mic but if it stays open, then I can just keep talking and my message is composed. Hands free is the only safe way to send a message while driving.

Thank you very very much.

[MENTION=1669909]matt_stang[/MENTION] , Thank you for this wonderful app. It is beautifully working on my LG G2 kk 4.4.2. I have immediately donated on playstore for your development as I appreciate the hardwork involved. My Order number is 12999763169054705758.1373672159172892 for your reference.

I have a couple of suggestions which will raise your app to a whole new level alltogether, just my suggestions dude.....

- It would be great to have a direct call function (pick up to call in sms)as is seen in this thread:http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/update-8-9-mms-apk-4-3-stock-look-ios-t2178697

- Option to select both iphone and android emoji, I prefer the iphone ones. I know its a matter of choice for everyone.

-Option to customise colours of : contact, time stamp, bubble, conversation list, message list, bubble type (bubble type is existing i know but with few more options would be better)etc

- font size of conversations and messages.

Please consider these suggestions. They arent demands but mere requests. I will soon donate more towards development of this app. [MENTION=1669909]matt_stang[/MENTION] thank you for your efforts which are deeply appreciated for your kind work.

Best Regards and best of luck
