Just donated some and was wondering if anyone cared to share their backed up settings/themes? Would love to give your setup a go.

Yaata 1.39 Android 8 Moto G6
[Android Apps and Games] omniatic:
In 1.39.17, speakerphone mode seems to be broken. Can't listen to my texts on Bluetooth.

Otherwise, everything else working great.

Happy Easter!
[Android Apps and Games] drumbeater79:
Hello Dev, can you please add a feature to edit the font of the name of the sender in the header inside the conversation? Please.. TIA.
[Android Apps and Games] :
How about thanking him for his work and then ask? Doubtful he just sits around and worries what you want extra...
[Android Apps and Games] robdam1001:
Display mobile numbers only?

Is there a way to have YAATA display mobile numbers only instead of all numbers associated with a contact?
[Android Apps and Games] mrhamed:
for safe the maximum privacy policy, I'm using my phone with empty contact (official android contact db) and using "simple contact" insted because it has private contact storage (DB) and it's open source.

I'd like suggest to developer(s) let the sms app use as own contact storage (prefer encrypted storage) to help the user (like me) keep contact list private/safe from other app(s) but detect sms sender easily...

thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] drumbeater79:
I already thanked him in the OP, and I also thanked him in advance. Please do not forget that this is XDA, where we can communicate w/ the developer and report the app's bug, requests, etc. Also, this is a paid app.

I'm not asking for the sky, I'm simply asking for an additional feature that the developer could possibly do.
[Android Apps and Games] fred_gaou:
I confirm yaata 1.39.18 is no longer usable as an SMS app. No more notification and SMS are received only when I wake up the phone.

Downgrading to 1.39.6 solves this. See my op6 setup in signature.

Edit: solved by clearing cache AND "modify system settings" allowed in Android settings for Yaata.
[Android Apps and Games] fred_gaou:
This the notification settings for yaata 1.39.18 in Android 9. Hundreds of "chathead service" and "default" listed. This is not the case in v1.39.6.
[Android Apps and Games] omniatic:
1.39.18 still doesn't read out my text messages to me.

Pixel 2XL

Android Q beta 2.

I wonder if it may have anything to do with being on the beta program...
[Android Apps and Games] Dude+:
Selected text color

How do I change the color of the selected white text when composing a message?
[Android Apps and Games] nierewa:
I tried YAATA since Friday and I love it.

Only two things confusing me.

1. So many customations and preferences. If you don't know for what it be you are out. That's how I feel :o

2. Is there a way to create pattern lock or PIN lock?
[Android Apps and Games] fred_gaou:
I confirm the same on my OP6. Speakerphone mode is broken. Getting back to 1.39.6 solves the issue and allows me to listen the SMS on my BT hearphone.
[Android Apps and Games] Dude+:
How do you change the highlight color when you select text? Not the text and not the background but the highlight.

Hello Dev.... Would you mind sharing your saved settings?
[Android Apps and Games] dancrow:
New version of application on Playstore almost every week, this is good news, but no changelog for some time.

Did anyone find a way to interact/talk to developer and ask him for the changes?
[Android Apps and Games] fred_gaou:
v1.39.20 solves all bugs already mentioned. Just don't forget to allow system modification.
[Android Apps and Games] :
What are you referring to when you say system modification?

It does seem to break the colored notification icon that worked up to 1.38
[Android Apps and Games] Dude+:
Yaata, App info, Advanced

Look there for it
[Android Apps and Games] :
Not sure where...

Are you talking about the Draw Over other Apps selection in Android settings?

Is the color icon gone in notifications now due to new Google rules?
[Android Apps and Games] tassman:
Hmmm.... got checked system notifications. Clear cache. Then I try to reinstall. Nothing. Still have for every sms new "Default" in system notification. Xiaomi Redmi Note 5. For worst every "default" has sound and other options turned off.
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
In 1.39.21 I've enabled for release build that feature:

Edit:

I'm still struggling with bugs caused by building app for API level 26.

Sending long messages should already be fixed.

Speakerphone mode should also work.

I still do not know if receiving SMSes on some phones when the phone is in deep sleep (DOZE) works.

Multiplication of notification channels still exists and I do not know how to solve it. I may do it as Google recommends and the application will lose many customizations of notifications, or for now it will be as it is and I will not have to remove any features

Soon I will review the last posts to write down all the bugs to deal with them.
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Kajo do you want us to post any issues we find here? I'll certainly give this version a try!
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
Yes, post it here.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Will do. Question-are we able to specify the timestamp format in the sent/received bubbles any more? I see where we can do that for the conversation list but no long see it for the conversation.
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:

[Android Apps and Games] dancrow:
Galaxy note 9 here, still have problems receiving SMS in doze deep sleep.

The SMS pop up when I light the screen.

Let me know how can I help you
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Will that apply to all conversations or just the one I am customizing?
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
All.

Go to Settings:

Tap: App & Notifications/Special app access (in advanced section on the bottom)/Battery optimization/ choose YAATA and select Don't optimize
[Android Apps and Games] Dude+:
Kajozord... Would you mind sharing your saved settings? I'd like to give it a test drive on my Moto G6.
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
Brazilian portuguese translation update, please use it on next release.

Thanks.

Edit, could you please share the pt-rBR arrays file? I couldn't retrieve it by decompilation.
[Android Apps and Games] dancrow:
Allready did it, but sometimes it's just happening to receive or send message with a delay

Is the color icon gone in notifications now due to new Google rules?
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
You can still set colored notification icon.
[Android Apps and Games] :
on your latest beta, which it seems is messed up on Playstore now too....telles me to uninstall it after being removed from beta or something

But I still only get white no matter what I select

So I unstalled current version as the playstore told me to, and then I cant even reinstall now...no option to upload
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
1.39.22 still has the mms bug.
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
When I have the notification popup set to chat head, the chat head does appear but I only can see the incoming new message. I can't scroll backward if it is part of an ongoing conversation. Anyone else see that?
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
Which phone and android version?

Look and Feel / Chatheads / Turn off third option from the bottom
[Android Apps and Games] :

Android 8

and beta just started working again....loaded 1.39,22 same thing

all worked fine on 1.38

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

Which bug?
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
What bug?

If it is issue with sending/receiving, enable log in advanced settings, send mms to yourseld and after that send that log to me.
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Perhaps he was referring to the issue where the wrong sender would be associated with the wrong message? Was that specifically fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
This will be the next thing I will do.

It's about group chats? Sent messages appear as received from another person?
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Great! Apparently you are not sleeping these days! [emoji16]
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
Was there the version of the app where it worked? Do you remember what version it was?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Pretty sure everyone was happy with 1.38 versions

If you scroll back you will see comments about people going back to versions of that

Same thing for me on icon color change
[Android Apps and Games] MJPollard:
Some of us deliberately never left that version because we refuse to play Whack-a-Bug. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
I am fairly confident that notification icon color is a new Google restriction. Textra team mentions that specifically.
[Android Apps and Games] :
[MENTION=4076847]kajazord[/MENTION] mentioned today it should still work...

also WTF would google want to restrict that? Are they that idiotic?
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Who the heck knows why......View attachment 4749931
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
Yes, Google did that and other things did, and another will do, because it is easier and cheaper to impose restrictions on developers than to control your own backyard (Google play store,). For Google is better to control developers at development stage, restricting and cutting off features of the Android framework, than improve and make more secure for users publishing process.

Current Google policy is that. You can publish in Google store almost everything (they changed it a little), because we (google) don't verify apps, but will make Android ecosystem more secure, by changing rules for developers and cutting off access to Android framework.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Good info....so does this mean we cant have WIFI on while we send MMS?

I did have errors last week trying to send a a video through Yaata, when I switched to android messages it went right through...( I am always on WIFI when I am at home...)
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Certain carriers would allow texting apps to route MMS traffic over the users wifi connection which greatly improved speed. Sprint was one of them. It's no longer allowed for some bizarre reason. So bye bye to that nice feature.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yea I am on Sprint...but pretty sure I had the same error when i turned wifi off too...hmm
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
I had to set the yaata MMS option to System. Legacy no longer works for me. Have you tried that?
[Android Apps and Games] :
That day yes I tried everything....NOthing worked...odd
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
The issue where pictures shown in conversations are the wrong picture and group messages are attributed to the wrong person. It's been like that since July 2018. I haven't been able to use Yaata for almost a year now due to the issues with MMS. If you search this thread for "mms" you'll find several times that it's been brought up.

---------- Post added at 04:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 AM ----------

It worked sometime before July 2018. It hasn't worked since then. I'm not sure exactly which version it broke in though.
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
I used to be able to recreate the issue very easily but not in the latest release for some reason. I will keep trying. It was a big enough issue that I had to stop using yaata so it's critical for me to make sure its resolved. My group chat conversations would literally be scrambled as to who said what. Will let you know if I come up with a failure scenario.
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
The first picture in this screenshot is wrong. It should be showing a text that my wife sent me. The picture was my response.

Edit: this is in version 1.39.23.19873. And looking at my group messages I see that they're still assigned to the wrong senders.
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Frustrating...I hope he can fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] :
This is my fav app to date... I abhor having to have avatars on my lists... The only ones I've found that allow you to get rid of them are this NextSMS and Chomp

NextSMS has a major issue with messages being sent to others and visa versa... Terrible for privacy concerns

I don't think Chomp has been updated in a while
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
I was able to get it to happen. I initiated a message to 4 participants. When I go into the conversation I can see my initial message. However that message gets replaced with the first person to reply therefore his reply takes the place of my initial message. From then on each reply gets assigned to the wrong sender. Obviously a very major error which needs to be corrected.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yea, that sux...

Is this the only app that has the speakerphone option?

Anyone found any other than Chomp/Handcent that also toggles off avatars?
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Not that I know of. But I'm sure Kajo will get this sorted out now that he's spending time on the app again.. It's pretty easy to reproduce
[Android Apps and Games] :
Other thing I have noticed is there is def a bug in sending videos for me on Sprint and 8.0

I can send one over Wifi on Chomp/Handcent/Hangouts but when I try same video on Yaata..no go
[Android Apps and Games] mr m.c:
There's no way to create a lock code to keep people out of your YAATA app all together, but there are ways to hide your threads

I really wish that G+ was still available to view the posts that were put up because that's how I would contact the Dev when I first heard of YAATA. I've been using this SMS/MMS app for almost 4 years now, maybe longer. If it would help, I'd be happy to help, I'd even go as far as to set a theme on my device, backup a file of the theme, then send it to you via email (or however you'd want it sent). Let me know if you would like some help by messaging me on here or by email (matthew.tyler.cleary@gmail.com)

Yaata and Smansung Gear S3 / Galaxy smart watch

Any plans to get Yaata working better with Samsung watches?

I have a non-Samsung Android phone. At the moment, I can view a received SMS message on my watch, but when I try to reply to the SMS displayed on my watch, the watch says "check your phone", and I have to use the phone to reply to the SMS.

Textra and Pulse and several others have ability to reply from the watch, so it can be done, but I would prefer to use Yaata.
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
I am totally for this being investigated as well. This was reported a long time ago but I think the current focus is just to get the app functioning normally again and then add enhancements. But I have a Gear S3 watch and can not reply directly on the watch.
[Android Apps and Games] Mikanoshi:
I can hardly make any notifications from YAATA appear on lock screen. Channel has it disabled by default, and no point in enabling too because those channels pile up...
[Android Apps and Games] neopbm:
You are absolutly right. I did some more tests on my device, even without RCS i am able to send larges images or gif with some sms apps and it fails with some others, including Yaata.

I would love to see that possibility in YAATA
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
Can you check the chat head floating window (long press on the avatar on the conversation list screen). Things show up correctly for me in that window.
[Android Apps and Games] joaomgcd:
About the Notification Categories, you could create one for each notification variation.

For example, if a notification is supposed to have a sound and vibration, create a category for that sound and vibration pattern. Something like that :)

[Android Apps and Games] Tatsch:
[MENTION=1474452]kajozord[/MENTION]

There is a big mistake in german translation/localization:

There is a button in notification "Mark as read" which is actually translated in german "Gelesene markieren". This means a complete different thing.

Right translation is "Als gelesen markieren".

Since link in first post "translation community" is dead (Google+), I write it here.
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
This app is not dead but I don't think it will get anything but fixes, i sent translation updates at least 3 times and not a single confirmation or answer.
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
Thanks. Fixed

Google shut down Google plus
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
I will send you tomorrow xml files. I needed to clean up some strings.
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
As far as I can tell the mms issue seems to be taken care of. I'll let you know if I discover some case where it isn't.
[Android Apps and Games] neopbm:
Same here. I have the premium version and it is really good.

I am only using an other app right now because of the images and videos issues (large files can't be sent) but I miss all the features of Yaata. Let's hope Dev will find a way to fix this
[Android Apps and Games] dynabman:
Does anyone else use a sent notification? I normally do, just a simple click or beep to let me know the message was sent. Since the dev had to make the changes to Yaata to meet the Google requirements, that notification is not working properly. It will work the first time, then not the next. It sounds distorted and at times it sounds like it is trying to play two sounds at the same time. I suspect it has something to do with these blasted new notification channels.
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
I use a sent notification and haven't had this issue. I have a short vibration and sound when a text is sent. Seems to work ok for me.
[Android Apps and Games] dynabman:
Hmmm, maybe it is something to do with my phone, a Samsung Galaxy s9 plus. I just know that it only started happening after the Google required update.
[Android Apps and Games] Dude+:
Please support the renaming of groups.
[Android Apps and Games] chazall1:
Are you able to change to different vibration settings?

I am currently running YAATA-1.39.24-beta-4 and when I choose a different vibration option

It does not change to other vibration modes. I always get a short vibration only to work.
[Android Apps and Games] dynabman:
I have a custom vibration pattern that I use and it is working on the latest version.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yes this is def still an issue, not sure whether [MENTION=1474452]kajozord[/MENTION] knows this?
[Android Apps and Games] chazall1:
Sorry I should have clarified. I meant under the contact options for individual contacts. Go select a contact, go to the 3 dot in the upper right.

Contact Options, Notifications, Vibrations, I have selected double short. I sent that contact and get one short.

I also went into the main settings for YAATA under other notifications, For Sent Messages and set the default to double short.

All sent notification is single short vibration.
[Android Apps and Games] dynabman:
Sorry, I completely misunderstood what you meant. I thought you were talking about received notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] chazall1:
No when trying under other notifications, For Sent Messages and set the default to double short.

All sent notification is single short vibration.

I also noticed that Under Contact Options, Notifications, I lost the ability after selecting a led color, I use to have the setting to adjust the flash rate of the led. This setting is no longer given
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
I can confirm same thing happens for me.
[Android Apps and Games] chazall1:
I also noticed that Under Contact Options, Notifications, I lost the ability after selecting a led color, I use to have the setting to adjust the flash rate of the led. This setting is no longer available. I really liked that feature.
[Android Apps and Games] dccoh:
I came here to report the same thing. This feature was super important to me. I'm not sure why it would be taken out either.
[Android Apps and Games] Haphim:
If there are valuable features that have to be removed in order to comply with new Google policies, will a Full Version apk be made available outside of the Play Store (e.g. on the top post of this thread)?

Other devs do this and it works out nicely. I'd much rather have an extra 30 seconds of work than to give up any important features/customizability.
[Android Apps and Games] mars2801:
I have the same issue. Unfortunatelly I had to turn off sent notification, because it was too irritating for me. I don't think it's caused by phone.

Should we be at all concerned that there is an infinite number of Chat Heads service and default notification channels being created? Is there a way to delete them? Does Android have a limit?
[Android Apps and Games] Mikanoshi:
You can backup app data, uninstall, install again, restore data. Should reset notification channels.

Currently notifications are absolutely uncustomisable, any changes to the channel are ignored. Don't know about functionality, but it cannot remain broken like this.
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
Something went wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] ballasa:
Chatheads notification categories

I thought Joao (of Tasker and Auto Apps, like AutoNotification) had a good thought for [MENTION=1474452]kajozord[/MENTION] a few pages back:

I'm curious if this will remain a struggle though given every contact can have a different sound and vibration pattern. You'd almost need them named after the contact, similar to how other apps name the categories for different services or activities.
[Android Apps and Games] yrp888:
I'm sticking with 1.38.0.19291 because the Chatheads on the lockscreen is a fantastic feature. I have a long PIN so having to unlock the phone everytime to look at an SMS is a PITA. If the S5 fingerprint reader was reliable it'd be less of an issue, but's pretty hopeless.

I get it that Android devs have screwed this up in Oreo and Pie (lockscreeen chatheads have never worked on my wife's P20 Pro), but can it be that lockscreen chatheads can work on MM or Nougat anyway and let Oreo/Pie block them? Or is this something to do with the API26 thing the Dev mentions?

[MENTION=1474452]kajozord[/MENTION] ... can you remove this "feature" in the Play Store description?
[Android Apps and Games] :
I may have found another bug in the 1.39s

I don't think web previews are working as I just get the actual links...
[Android Apps and Games] tpapa:
If it's within an MMS group chat, that is a known issue. If not, I have found that web previews are hit or miss.
