[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Dark Fear:
I've a serious bug :(

most of times sms lists are disappeared on launch.. I've to swipe to right or left to make them visible.. using v23
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dermann:
The dark theme setting doesn't seem to work (not really am issue as I'll theme it to me liking once there is a stable version available). And something that kind of annoys me, is the keyboard pops up every time I open the app (in the conversation section not the texts threads). Other than that one thing for me, this so is great!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bengtan:
Oh, okay, fair enough.

I've tried submitting code upstream to CM too but they're not very ... ah ... receptive of my patches. They seem to be occupied with whatever plan they have.

Best of luck then.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Yes I know! Embarrassingly that is something I broke in a recent build. Good news is I fixed it, and I'm uploading a new build soon with fully working notifications and several bug fixes. Thanks for reporting though!

Thanks a lot. The dark theme (as far as I know) has never worked (not in a while at least) in the CM messaging app. I am using the latest sources and haven't messed with that so it's not really an issue as far as I'm concerned. Not saying it will never work, but it's not high on my list atm.

The keyboard issue is known. I have fixed it for the next build.

EDIT: updated first post with v0.2.7. Addresses keyboard issues, sharing, and notifications. I fixed a number of issues that made the app act weird, so it should perform as expected now (at least more than it did before!). Still got a lot of work to do but making solid progress

EDIT2: I lied about completely fixing notifications. If a notification comes in while viewing the conversation list, it does stays there until 1) clicking on it 2) opening its conversation 3) viewing it's conversation (if it's already open). Fix for this will come in next build
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] martinko23:
I have a little issue, sometimes after I got a message while phone is locked, when I unlock it and reply I get a fc and I have to write my msg again and send it again, it's driving me crazy when I have 5 second to reply because I'm in class, and I get this fc :/ please fix it if you know why it happens, thanks for this awesome app :)

still getting the occasional times where the conversation list fails to show with the latest version... not as often as before, but its still there...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
I am trying to replicate this but I can't. Can you post a log?

I'm posting a quick fix for this now. At least I think it should be fixed. If you could report that'd be great.

This app got better day. The v2.8 really cleared up all lag in my opinion and most bugs. Love it. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zelendel:
I know and I home he is right but to be honest it is hard to tell with the recent changes google has/is making to how sms apps interact with the system. It might be simple but until all of the source is released or at least the full sms app source it will be hard to tell for sure.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] comstyle:
it would be nice if you could add a hex code when you choose a custom color :D

edit: lol I didn't see it at the top .....
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bikas:
May I suggest few improvements?

1. As with conversation list, sms inside conversation should also be bulk selected and deleted.

2. There should be option to delete sms from popup and notification bar. Or at least, this should be present as a setting for users who wants to.

I dont think translucent is working.. Correct me if im wrong..

Awesome colour and theme options Matt ;) thanks!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Here's B24. Light themes, logo color option. I tweaked the image resolution a bit so the quality should be a bit less ****ty.

Oh and I added L to the manifest so someone give it a try for me. If it doesn't work I NEED A LOG. There's nothing I can do about it not working on L unless I get a log.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] musashihatred:
Hi, is it possible yo reduce the number of SMS retries in sending ?:D i thnk it tried more than 40 times every second or so -,- thanks.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Pompitousofseth:
Any way to have the text color on the action bar linked to the icon color or be customizable on its own?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
I have no clue what that screenshot is

Yes I'll be adding title color options shortly.

This is the new icon if anyone is interested. Feedback is welcome but I likely won't be changing it

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] rastigo:
Breathing notifications???
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] musashihatred:
uhm, tried sending a message with no reception / extra load, and i have received around 40+ of notification toast that it is resending.

what im pointing out, it tries to resend the sms/mms too much that it almost bothers one for 5 - 10 mins -_-

ahmm. the screen shot displays the toast that it tried resending again and again. :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Gotcha. I can take a look at it. It might be an isolated incident though because I'm pretty sure the app retries when it has established that there is a connection. It doesn't simply retry over and over until it works.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Yep it's on B26 check OP.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] musashihatred:
Thanks. It happens when i try to send an sms but out of credits (im on a prepaid ) :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] NeBouse:
Is it possible to have an option to change timetamps color ?

Thx.

EDIT: i've noticed a small "bug"

It's not possible to open a picture from the popup ( i received a message containig a picture, clicked on the picture in the popup window, nothing happened).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] charliebigpot:
Hi!

The app is working as expected so far :)

However, I wonder how I can assign a picture/letter to myself? next to what I send there's the letter "s" and when I touch it, it says that the contact doesn't exist. I tried adding myself as a contact and sending myself a couple of and, but it only adds the contact info for received sms, not sent.

Also, for some contacts that don't have a pic, it shows an icon (outlines of a person) but when I click on it, it shows the first letter of the name.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Ah seems I forgot to do that ;) thanks I'll fix it

You don't need to add the info in a new contact for yourself, you need to change the info for "me" in your contacts app. For me it's at the top of the contacts app. Why do you need to send text messages to yourself...?

I'm not sure what you mean by " it shows an icon (outlines of a person) but when I click on it, it shows the first letter of the name." Make sure you have "letter tiles" enabled in the contact avatar settings.

Here is the link to the latest hangouts 2.3 apk: http://www.mediafire.com/download/1585s29s8mmx3lj/com.google.android.talk.2.3.apk

If you want the dialer you will also want to install hangouts dialer from the play store after installing the 2.3 apk.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] stereo123:
Great app!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Assuming you have adb installed, you can do this:

adb logcat -d > log.txt

This creates a log.txt file in your present working directory that contains a dump of your most recent log. You can specify any path for the log file, like adb logcat -d /Users/matthew/log.txt.

Then, just attach the log.txt to a post. Thanks!

EDIT: Make sure you do this after you get a force close.

Thanks! I am almost surprised myself. I am having trouble finding issues with it and have yet to run into a force close. I do know that drafting messages is not handled correctly though so I still need to address that. Otherwise I am quite happy with the way it's coming along :) It is definitely close to being fully functional, then the fun stuff can start
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] kenshinta:
Had a peek at the resources... I suggest you make it more complete as a Hangout alternative by using Hangout style smileys and emojis, it would tie everything together more.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Hm.. the hangouts app uses emoji images named with emoji_u* and CM messaging app uses emoji_e*. I'm not very familiar with emojis but it would take forever to rename each emoji to move them into the app. Unless there is another way to do it... don't expect to see it any time soon :D

Or if you really want to, you can download the attachments on this comment, and go through both folders and rename the hangouts emoji files to match the cyanogenmod emoji files. There are many so good luck!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] machoua:
This is awesome. Thanks soo much for this. I love the new style. I hated the stock messaging app soo much. And it was soo Damn easy to install on 4.3.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] c_86:
Hmmm. What happened to the attachment.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Thanks, check the first post frequently because I update a lot

I was uploading 0.2.9
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Planters76:
Try this program, http://download.cnet.com/Bulk-Rename-Utility/3000-2248_4-10174242.html. I use this all the time for mp3 and images, btw nice app. Going to give it a try
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Sorry I was too vague. The names are not off by just a letter. They seem to be arbitrarily different so it's not quite as simple as looping through them and changing names. You have to actually match the images and name them manually.

I'm not going to do this, ever. But I will look into changing the emojis another way at some point in the future. Though if you are on 4.4, emojis are built into the keyboard anyway.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] kenshinta:
Uhhhm

I'm pretty sure the effort to do so is NOT that hard and convoluted, simple search (and may perhaps acnowledgement/ thanks to the owners of already existing sources) would go a long way.

Still its your app and was only a suggestion, no biggie.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] The Bownz:
I'll think about doing this for you tomorrow if you want to incorporate it into your app!:b I've got nothing better to do, and would love to help
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
I think you misunderstood. I liked your idea, but it is not as simple as copy and paste (like I'd hoped) so I can't do it right now. If someone wants to take the time to rename the files that would be cool. Otherwise the updated emojis will have to come later.

And I'm not sure what you are saying about thanking "owners" of existing sources. I state loud and clear that this is based on the open source CM messaging app, giving them (and AOSP) credit for essentially the entire app, minus the minor changes I've made. My project is open source as well. Who is it I should be thanking?

That would be really cool. I'm not sure how many people using <= 4.3 but I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] kenshinta:
No no, not in that sense in what is already existing. I meant to be vague in suggesting another way to have the emojis if you ... searched around. But like I said its no biggie this is your project if its not your interest to do that aspect then dont.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Planters76:
Are you talking about matching the .PNG files with the emoji .xml file, or does it exist?

Also I have notice the notification icon is still asop, do you have plans on changing it to newly icon or just leaving it, also will we ever see swipe to delete?

I am loving the app BTW, awesome work.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] machoua:
So here's a bug. I use dash clock exclusively and when I have a message, selecting it from the lock screen just unlocks my phone. It doesn't take me to the messaging app. And the app is a little glitchy. Just a tad bit. Other than that, best messeging app replacer!

I had a small reboot opening another app. Not it seems I'm back to stock messaging app.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] frickinjerms:
this app setup is pretty frickin awesome! i also got bored and this came out of it..

file is attached below
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Thanks. I do plan on changing the notification icon. I have a list of goals I will be tackling one by one; this one is not at the top but it's on there. I'll probably put that on the first post so people can see what's coming up.

I have not used dash clock with this at all so I will have to try and replicate that today. Should be a simple fix.

Also, do you mind explaining what you mean by "glitchy"? I am trying my best to make this perform exactly like the stock messaging app and "glitches" are unacceptable. There are bugs that I know of, but I (obviously) can't find them all. If you could mention specifically what you mean so I can get rid of it that would be very helpful.

I can assure you with absolute certainty a system reboot was not caused by this app. There is nothing at all in the messaging app that could cause a phone to reboot, and the edits that I've made pertain mostly to two activities.

If you are having reboot issues, they are not caused by this app.

This is really cool. Would you mind sharing how you did this? I assume either you compiled from source or you decompiled it and edited some resources. I would be interested to see what changes you made.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] frickinjerms:
I decompiled it with android multitool and then found those bubbles after a bit of googling around then just made the 9-patches with the draw9patch thing in the sdk and added them to /res/drawable-xhdpi

then i went into /res/layout/message_list_item_recv.xml and /res/layout/message_list_item_recv.xml started playing around

it took a good while of trial, error, frequent smoke breaks and a nap

for the sake of typing everything in here, i attached a zip that has the decompiled unmodified (appended stock to the name) and modified xml files for comparison
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Confirmed, fixing now

EDIT: fix is up on first post

Hey. So not sure if it's the app or not but I think I'll report it regardless.

There are times after receiving a text that my screen refuses to wake. Takes me to get another text or plug it in for the screen to turn on. Seems to only happen after getting a text and not responding to it right away. It's hard to reproduce. Sometimes it will be fine and I'll have no issue. Other times It will do it after every text. Not sure what it is. Tried stock kernel and now ak kernel and no difference.

Thoughts?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] The Bownz:
I just got around to looking at this, and it seems like a lot more work than it should be. They are all different sizes, unrelated names and just too chaotic. I use 4.4 anyways, So it doesn't even effect me. Sorry 4.3 users, I'm not going to give that a shot.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Dark Fear:
hi bro

i followed your work from initial version.. tnq.. well done.. it's very good

last versions are really as smooth as Hangouts.. the only problem is speed of loading messages..

there's minor delay after swipe transition which isn't in hangouts..

anyway.. i don't think this can be solved because of app base.. :(
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] newtonfb:
Why do my MMS messages have the "subject new message" in with each MMS message ? Its really annoying in group MMS. I downloaded textra and it doesn't happen but happens in the new hangout app for KitKat. Any ideas ?

I attached a screenshot of a pic I sent to myself to show as example
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] newtonfb:
I tried to install on 4.4 kitkat and just keep getting "app not installed" error. The OP file works but i would love to have colors and a "bubble" option instead of just the same rectangle for a change.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] The Bownz:
You do realize this thread has nothing to do with the hangouts app right?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] newtonfb:
You do realize it happens with the apk file in this thread right?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] The Bownz:
Well judging from your post and screenshot it appeared as if you were reporting a bug for the hangouts app. My bad.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] WasifSal:
Hey OP. Is it possible that you can implement the feature of KitKat of Translucent Nav and Status Bars in your future app? Or if not then why? How difficult is it for an app developer to implement that? Thanks ! A response will be GREAT :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] frickinjerms:
Hmm that's weird.. I haven't used kitkat though because its still so deep in its infancy, however judging from past experiences with that error, I would assume you'd need to adb push or use a root file explorer to put it into /system/app-priv (I think that's where the system app are) then set rw-r--r-- permissions and reboot.. I could be very wrong but that's what I personally would try first

Another idea! Try uninstalling the original first and then installing the modded one if you haven't tried that already, if it's a no go, try the above idea...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] nadiros:
Its because you added no subject line or text. I believe its normal for MMS when media is sent only. Comparing to other SMS/MMS apps is like apples and oranges. Why would they be expected to operate the same way?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Apparently you are not doing an adb push to install the app. Really the best way to install is to replace the system app. I highly recommend you install the app by pushing with adb. If not, you probably need to specify the -r option for adb install.

Whatever method you choose, you should be replacing the existing Mms.apk with the one you downloaded, rather than trying to install the app with the system package manager.

I'm not sure what you mean. I realize there is a transparent status bar and nav in 4.4 unlock screen and launcher but I don't see how this makes sense for other apps.. what would you expect a transparent nav/status bar to look like in a messaging app?

Thanks this is what I would recommend as well. Pushing with adb is not the only way to install but it is the best way.

I will upload a flashable zip soon so people without adb can install easily.

Right, as far as I know this is standard behavior for the AOSP messaging app. It may not be the best way to handle it though so I'll be looking into changing that in the future
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] machoua:
In reply to the dev of this mod, I'm sure it's not your messeging mod that produced a soft boot. I had it even before installing your amazing mod. But it seems that when I do get a soft boot, it goes back to the original messeging app.

And "glitching" means when swiping back to the messaging home page, the top bar moves around a bit. Other than that it it's fine.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] newtonfb:
Just to add in...ive been digging and it seems to be just a problem with the new Straight Talk sim cards. Ive never had this issue before until i got my 2 new sim cards, one for nexus 4 and the other for nexus 5 and entered in the new apn settings. I went on to Howard Forums and it looks like people are having the same issue.

Whats wierd tho is the app textra seems to disable the subject line somewhere in their code since its the only app that doesnt show the subject line. Im not sure why all apps dont do that.

Works on 4.1.2 and looks great. Nice work!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] The Bownz:
One bug I'm going to state here just to see if other people get it and know how its triggered. I do not know how to trigger it myself and do not have a log.

Everyonce in awhile no matter what conversation I tap on it opens my most previous conversation then I'll have to force close the application in order to view other conversations.

Another bug is sometimes when opening a conversation it brings me to the top of the conversation and I have to scroll allllll the way down.

I cannot replicate the bug where it opens your previous conversation. I have run into this problem when testing but fixed it a while ago. I will look more closely and check though. If you could figure out how to replicate it that would be very helpful. Also, make sure you are on the latest version.

I know about the bug where opening a conversation sometimes takes you to the top. I will be fixing it soon.
