Matt, i tried to contact you by email and xda some months ago but still no answer, it's a bit frustrating because I absolutely love the app but the only thing that puts me off to using it, is that one thing is not translated well. When you send a message to someone, in the list it says "You: *message* " However, as my language is dutch, it has to be 'Ik'. I tried to translate this bit myself with apktool and opening the string.xml file but I can't find the line where the 'you' is located... I also created a couple of threads to find people who can translate an apk, but no one seems to be wanting to help me as there is no response. So matt, I hope you read this and could help me out...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
I've had the transparent nav and status bar on the app for a while. I can definitely do the delivery report thanks for that info.

Man I thought I fixed that. I thought I put a string in the xml file for the "you" translation but it appears there is none (or it's not used if there is). I'm not able to build the project at the moment because I'm working on a different OS now and I haven't transferred the keys for it or built CM11 yet. I've been using the source code for reference and building with stock kit-kat. The best I can do atm is promise it will be changed with my next update within the week, provided you are using 4.4+.

I'll actually be building the older version (or the current version that I'm now calling the older version) of the app in the next couple days. I have some family in town so haven't had a ton of time. But I can fix that rather quickly and you won't have to wait a week.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Sparubens:
Hey matt, happy to receive an answer from you. I really love this app so I hope you can fix it because I want to use it as my default SMS app. Thanks again and I'm waiting for the update :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mkmck:
Oh great You're back :D please tell is it possible to fix Unicode stripping? It still doesn't stripe "Ł" letter.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] seemeys:
when i add multicontact the software get FC,is it a bug?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Yes like I say just before your post. :)

But with version 0.7.5.1 the button for add contacts has been removed, why :confused:

Last thing is there a way to improvement the pop up on hdpi devices and add black theme please?

Edges are cut on my S2, see screenshot in attachement.

Thanks again!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mharis05:
Does this replace the smiley key with Return? Or has a provision to choose? Please tell me yes :(
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
of course. it's at the bottom of the settings
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] The Bownz:
I had to do it, I love this, but I liked how the hangouts app looked new to me... So I made this:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] c_86:
does this have quick reply like the CM version?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
This is awesome! I actually had this idea and thought it would look cool but you totally beat me to it! :D I will definitely be including this in the next version.

Yes. This is based on CM messaging app so all features from CM messaging are there, except for blacklist which I have disabled to be compatible with stock.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] The Bownz:
This is how it looks on the dock:) I have all of the different sized icons if you want for mdpi hdpi xhdpi and xxhdpi
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
That'd be awesome. Can you upload a zip? Do you have psds as well and can you include those?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Garridon:
Could we stop posting those logs like that here?

Anyway I was able to install your app as an update to the cm app. Works flawlessly and I love it, MMS and SMS works.

My only grippe is that the date received on the main page to the right is blocked by the sliding one, care to move that text a little to the left?

Oh I'm using the spring galaxy nexus on cyanogenmod 10.2.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] saint_cow:
If you can tell me how to post the log from my phone I will gladly do it, otherwise I will continue to help by posting the log as it's the only way I know how to do it from my phone.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Garridon:
I would say make a drop box account and upload the file itself there, or skydrive. (Google drive is a bit weird with mobile and sharing so I don't use it)

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Thanks I'm working on fixing this right now.

Thanks I fixed that, update on first post.

If you wrap your comment in code tags when you post it will be put into a scrollable window, just so you know ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] saint_cow:

Ok thanks, so I can do that from my phone? What are code tags?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] odoneout:
Works well, it's a bit slow when opening it up using Halo but MMS seems to be working better than the stock app. Good job!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Ok thanks, so I can do that from my phone? What are code tags?

You make code tags like this, without spaces inside the braces: [ CODE ] This text would be printed as code [ /CODE ]

Thanks I'm glad you like it. Unfortunately, as saint_cow recently pointed out you cannot share from other apps to this messaging app. Good news is I know how to fix it! Bad news is it will probably have to wait until tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Dark Fear:
tnx bro..!

perfect idea!!

just there's some bugs to be fixed.. and sliding animation can be better.. also it will be awesome if you add sending and recieving animation..
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
thanks I probably will be adding a lot to this. My first goal is to get the Stock CM messaging app working bug-free with sliding pane navigation and submit to CM for review and (hopefully) inclusion. I feel like it has gotten no love recently and it's one of the apps I (and probably many others) use most.

the thing is, the CM (and stock) Mms app just works. It may not be flashy or pretty but it works well. I think with a little makeover it can (remain to) be the only messaging app anyone ever wants/needs.

I plan to add features that seem obvious to me:

- animations for sending and receiving messages (like you said)

- delay sending messages so you can edit if you notice a mistake. this feature is already there mostly but not implemented visually the way I'd like

- change color / theme (esp. conversation colors. this is kind of a no-brainer)

- hide certain messages or certain threads (w/ password lock maybe?)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] c_86:
also can you add in "enter to send"
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Dark Fear:
tnQ..! i'll follow your work and use your app thankfully..!:fingers-crossed:

i think it's good to set your primary to get it smoother and faster..
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] InfDaMarvel:
I didn't discover the cm app until yesterday and bam I see this. Thanks, hangouts v2 is really slow on our device.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Probably. I'll be posting a test apk here shortly and it might be fixed, or it might be gone.. I'm not sure.

This should be fixed as well but who knows. Logs are extremely helpful though so thank you.

Yes that would be considered a bug. You can try the test apk when I post it and let me know how it goes.

Thanks guys!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] freddienuxx:
Hey matt is it possible adding holo circle in message settings like block/bubble. Thx in advance
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] migueldbr:
[MENTION=1669909]matt_stang[/MENTION] there are bugs on the popup reply when delivery notifications are on. i provided a logcat to 8sms dev (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2398767) and he fixed them. Maybe you should contact him (or if you want i can provide the logcat i gave him) to get them fixed. This is a long time bug that is present ever since CM introduced quick reply
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jsgraphicart:
I know I shouldn't be worried about this since Android L is a Dev preview. But this app force closes when receiving a message in Android L. Just a friendly FYI.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] sid21:
+1 to this

Each time i get fc when trying to open it from notification shade, the second time after fc shown it opens up, and many a times fc occurs when quick replying or opening the app itself

Never had any issue ever since prior version..

But after the two consecutive updates by you, somehow made it happen..

Plz fix it if possible,

Thanks for the app.. (Y)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
The test apk will be based on CM 11 messaging app or still based on CM 10.2?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] locky9:
disable unicode

Good evening my friend, this application has the option to disable unicode? It turns out that in Spanish (my language) when I use a word with an accent, it is taken as if they were more than one letter, which is expensive, and you may send a message to end up paying for 2 thanks to unicode.

Buenas noches mi amigo, esta aplicación tiene la opcion de desactivar el unicode? Resulta que en español (mi idioma) cuando uso alguna palabra con acento, la misma es tomada como si fueran más de una letra, lo cual resulta costoso, ya que es posible que al enviar un mensaje termine pagando por 2 gracias al unicode.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] joker252:
Hey Matt do you have any idea when you'll be posting that new update here? I was using your app the past few months but then had to switch because of a few bugs that were annoying me but any other app I try is so inferior to this that it's ridiculous so I'm really keen for your new update.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jesamyn:
Go to Settings and scroll down to the bottom. There is a "Strip unicode" option under Extra Settings.

~ sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mkmck:
It's buggy, not every special character is striped. I still don't use this app because of that.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] joker252:
Any update? :/
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] freddienux:
Never ever ask for ota's or updates
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jsgraphicart:
To be fair, the Dev said he would be "posting a test apk shortly." And that was on the 28th. I think he got people a little excited.

Fc on android L nexus 4 beta 3 per 5
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Android L is a preview developer not a preview user and of course not for a daily use.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] migueldbr:
i have beta preview 5 and it does work. FC only one time but then it worked. Did you dirty flash?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dirtsky:
I just found my new messaging app. Thank you.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Sparubens:
Hey matt,

First of all, thanks for fixing the translation issue for "You: message". Now the app is great!! Really appreciated. The only thing that keeps the app from being perfect is when I have a conversation with an emoji in it, the synopsis (the points that move when you send a message) don't move and just block. Also would be great if you could disable the ugly green android smileys. Keep up the good work
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Yeah the implementation is likely very old, probably ported from several CM versions back. I need to simply redo it from scratch. It should be fairly easy to do and believe me it's on my list. I was surprised to see how many people want/use Unicode stripping. I've never needed it so I sort of brushed it off. I'll do something about it though.

The reason it's taking me so long is I'm using a new code base and there are a lot of resources I have to bring over to get everything working properly.

I'm trying not to release something that is a downgrade so it's important that I get everything that DOES work brought over. I'm not meaning to make empty promises (or any promises at all, really) but as I've said I am still working on it (I'm working right this second actually) and it's coming along nicely (on my single device, anyway). Patience is appreciated and I'm hoping to get something out soon.

I can't really be responsible at this point in time for it breaking on Android L. A log would definitely be appreciated though as that would likely allow me to fix it. I'll also have to check out the Android L sdk to see if there are some changes I need to make to support it.

I've heard this from a few people but I've personally never experienced it. The best I can do is try a different implementation or add an option to change the "sending" indicator to a static message.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Phantafun:
Hello, and thank you for the real good job. I like your app but i encounter a very annoying bug that force me tu use another app : on my Nexus 4, i not receive all notifications when an sms arrive. Sometimes, it works normally, sometimes, no sound are played, no vibration, ni icon :/

I miss a lot of sms in that way.

I am with rom stock, kernel stock, on last version of public android.

Thank you very much.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
There have been issues with notifications from day one and I am almost positive now they are fixed.

Not to get any hopes up but I'll be posting an apk tomorrow (today?) for debugging purposes only. Theming will be completely disabled as well as several other features. It is basically bare bones messaging with sliding ui.

The reason I am doing this is to make sure SMS, MMS, and notifications work flawlessly. I'd like to get several people to test it before moving on with further updates. Then we'll shortly see a solid 1.0 and go from there.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mkmck:
So waiting for updates. I'm ready to testing
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Phantafun:
Great new ! Thanks a lot !

I'll use you app, even if you don't implement new fonction, because i like the aspect "easy to use, light", but some ideas for the future :

Pre-charge at any launch the last conversation without go in (or reduce the time for heavy conversation to appear)

Add a delay option to cancel a sms

Keep up the good work !
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Ok so this is probably extremely underwhelming for those of you hoping for some updates but it's necessary (to me anyhow).

The attached apk is for testing only. It only sends SMS, no MMS. And there are 0 features beyond the basic KitKat stock. I just need to see if the following are working well:

- Search

- Notifications

- Sending/receiving SMS

It will receive MMS no problem but sending is disabled. I'll be posting an update to test mms either tonight or tomorrow.

If anyone is willing to use the app for a bit and report any bugs or 'quirks' that'd be great.

You must be running KitKat and you must uninstall any previous versions before installing the attached apk.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] JRJ442:
[MENTION=1669909]matt_stang[/MENTION] Just tried it out on my G2. Everything looks to be in order. Notifications, Search and sending/receiving work fine it seems.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Planters76:
Search works fine, the notification icon doesn't match your icon app. Also I noticed the conversation view looks different, is that normal? Also when I back out of a conversation it closes the app.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Planters76:
I am unable to forward a message
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mkmck:
+1, and there is no back button in action bar

Also in play store version the slide looks more snappy IMO
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Search function, notifications and sending/receiving SMS work fine on my Galaxy S2 with latest nightly CM 11.

EDIT: [MENTION=1669909]matt_stang[/MENTION], weird issue the words appears on the send button (see screenshot please).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
One more test apk before I get the ball rolling.

MMS should be fully working but I haven't tested much.

EDIT: It seems you can't play audio from an MMS. I'll work on it. Who uses MMS to send audio anyway...?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] maxpayneqwe:
How can i install ?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
MMS work fine here! :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Last apk before extra features are added. All stock functionality should be working. This is essentially a bare bones SMS/MMS app with "sliding" conversation style and some very basic UI improvements.

Next update will go on the front post with most extra features added back. Then goes to the play store.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] rastigo:
[MENTION=1669909]matt_stang[/MENTION] do add direct call facility, ie putting phone close to ear initiates call back to the message sender
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] smartxdev:
Its pretty complicated to achieve actually, doing it simple by utilizing the proximity sensor will dial accidentally every time you cover the phone a bit.

To do it properly would require tight calibration and usage of accelerometer + gyroscope + proximity sensors.

Something a company like Samsung can spend resources on, to achieve some marketing gimmicks.

Don't get me wrong its a neat feature which I like. It would be nice if CM Messaging would have it (as optional).

I just think that its better to focus on more critical and less time consuming features/fixes at this stage of the development.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] migueldbr:
yeah its really not worth focusing on that imo...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mkmck:
This feature provides CM and CM-Based roms. I have it on Mahdi Rom, but it works with CM sms app. Maybe it's possible to make this option working also with this app
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
I don't personally care for this feature but...

This. It's more of a gimmick than a useful feature and it would take a hell of a lot of effort to program, especially if I had to do it from scratch.

That would be the route to go if anyone really wanted the feature. If it works with CM sms app it should work with mine already. If not I don't suppose it would be difficult to support. Whether I ever get around to worrying about it depends on the demand I guess.

So sorry but don't count on the phone-to-ear dialing feature. I'm not really into it.

In other news, Everything is going smoothly here. Theming is almost fully re-implemented, and I've started redoing the quick reply because I know there have been issues with it in the past and it's a pretty widely used feature. I'll be doing it from scratch mostly so I guarantee it will be awesome. I'll probably post a few apk's on the way as it will be a few days before I get it all done.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mkmck:
No, smart dialing doesn't work with Your app. Actually I don't really care about this feature as well, just mention.

Waiting for updates. I hope unicode stripping will be fixed ;)

Is that possible to add more color themes? Yellow, red etc :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
I've made the theming a lot more robust (on my end at least) so I expect to create a few more themes and all the themes will have a more well-thought-out color scheme as well. I consider the version that's available now a 'prototype'. I'm developing the real deal now so you can probably expect it to be a more complete package.

EDIT: and as far as the smart dialing goes.. I'll look into it. It would probably only take a few minutes to support it
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Planters76:
I am not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but when ever you attach anything to SMS it looks like this
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Planters76:
I will say this much, its very smooth and fast
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
Yes that was known at the time of posting the apk. It has since been fixed.

I'm inclined to agree ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Planters76:
That's great to hear :good:

If you ever get bored and out of fresh ideas, check out this, kinda did a photoshop jones with the play store
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
That might be a challenge to implement with the sliding layout. Plus, the Android design docs specify the side drawer should be used for navigation purposes so for the sake of consistency I don't think I'll use it for this app.

However, I have other ideas for layouts I can use here. Since I've pretty much done all the heavy lifting it would be pretty easy to support different styles.

Aaaand here's an apk. Message colors don't work but I changed up the colors a bit so it's not too boring. Conversation list avatar settings do nothing as well.

Time to call it a night. Got a lot of work to do tomorrow

Edit: oops! uploaded this time. It's awfully early here...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] joker252:
I think you may have forgotten to attach the apk :P Cheers for all the goodwork lately! So good to see the app up and running again!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] chinkster:
[MENTION=1669909]matt_stang[/MENTION] thanks for the continued support of your app. Will wait till update hits playstore. Thanks again! ?

your app deserves a lot more attention. i said this before(but i dont know if you read it), consider posting on the "android apps" xda section because a lot more people see it there!

keep up the good work!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zelendel:
It was already featured on the portal. How much more attention would you like?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] migueldbr:
well i think it would get more attention from the apps section rather than the portal, but fine, wont mention it again
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] handgun50:
Sending, receiving, searching works as usual on slidingB4. I dont use mms so I dont know it works or not
