Mike B , reason why I posted the link referred to in my noted comment was to show the frustration involved in attaching an image to a quick reply post while on the computer. It is obvious based on that thread that there were people having problems posting from a computer not phone( that's what that thread was all about if you bothered to go thru all of it) . Have used forums on other sites without problems doing what I complained about which has nothing to do with xhangouts but I wanted folks to know why I was unable to attach an image like I initially wrote. I have tried looking for the "attachment , more or Full reply options" on my computer screen but have been unsuccessful . You could also tell that I did search first on how that could be done , hence how I ended up with that thread link I posted in my comment. The only more have found is below "smiles" but that did not offer anything in regards to attachments.

Anyway have already email an admin about the issue. I don't want my post distracting from the crux of this thread which is xhangouts & the awesome job Kevin M is doing.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
The only reason I even bring this up is that the ability to post screenshots and other attached files is an invaluable tool for any developer and users alike.

I'm sorry you have trouble using the Forums but I assure you that there's nothing overly unusual about the way you can add attachments on XDA, and it's definitely not a widespread concern with the members of this or other vBulletin-inspired boards. We can't burden this thread with this unrelated matter but I urge you to try again, maybe with a different browser. Those options are there somewhere and when you provide the relevant information (at least operating system and browser) in the proper thread I'm sure someone will help you see that it was merely an oversight on your part. If you at least see a "more" under smilies, that means you're probably already using the full reply mode and the additional options should be just a little bit below that when you scroll further down, past the "POST ICONS" list. The only browser I can think of on common platforms that has sometimes similar trouble would be ancient versions of MSIE, fixable by simply updating to something more current. Happy sleuthing! ;)

Just started using it, seems to be working wonderfully. APN splicing with the default AT&T configuration.

Please consider me a +1 request for the "reply"/"mark as read" options on the notification.
[Xposed Framework Modules] SB13X:
Just wondering as like many others I prefer a Black and White theme, is there a chance of adding Black to the colour options?
[Xposed Framework Modules] ziddey:
It'd be awesome if incoming GV calls via hangouts could be automatically disabled when connected to cell. I don't get signal in my bedroom so I usually toggle airplane mode on and use GV hangouts for calls. But when on the go, dual ringing often freaks the phone out
[Xposed Framework Modules] d.cortez:
+1 for Black or Dark Grey (#212021). nonetheless, having options is better that the stock green.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Potentially. It would probably not be integrated into Hangouts itself. Some kind of standalone Hangouts database reader.

I believe we are talking about the same thing. That screen is built into Hangouts and is not part of XHangouts. Any ringtone you select there will override XHangouts. If you are asking for per-contact ringtone selection on the XHangouts side that isn't possible. Sorry.

Hopefully. This is on my suggestions list.

This is something I may try and take a poke at eventually but it may not be possible to differentiate between calls.
[Xposed Framework Modules] bravac:
That would be great-I use google voice and get a lot of texts I have to search through, and not having search on hangouts is the one thing stopping me from using it.

Thanks again for all your work!
[Xposed Framework Modules] rbrenart:
Everything has been working well for me with the defaults + APN splicing, but then today I was out in a new area (with good coverage) and got two MMS messages that wouldn't come through.

I tried hitting download a few times, rebooted, no luck. Disabled the module and rebooted and they came through immediately.

Not complaining, just reporting, any thing I can send you to help track down the issue let me know.
[Xposed Framework Modules] totbl:
I can't get this thing activated in xposed. I'm on the latest 3.3 Hangouts/2.2 XH and 5.1.1 with all my other modules working. It says Not Loaded in XHangouts. Not sure what's going wrong.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

XHangouts is not activated by Xposed" error
[Xposed Framework Modules] xxBrun0xx:
Possible to integrate quick reply into notifications? Great module, so far!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Thanks for trying XHangouts. Please enable debug logging at the bottom of the XHangouts app. Toggle XHangouts off and then back on again in the Xposed Installer. In the Xposed Installer log section please clear the log (found in menu button). Reboot the device and then try to load the Hangouts and XHangouts apps. Please paste your Xposed log here or do so in a PM if you're worried about personal information potentially being included in the log.

Good to hear it's (mostly) working! I've run into this from time to time and I haven't been able to pin it down. Can you reproduce it in any reliable way?

This is on my list of suggestions. Thank you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] totbl:
I figured it out. I had the xposed apk 67 instead of 69 and that brought it right to life! This app is awesome. Been struggling for so long to have a custom ringtone. Thanks so very much.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rbrenart:
Fortunately I can't reproduce this one (MMS that just won't come through with splicing on), but I've enabled the logging so I'll post it if it happens again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
Before anybody panics: No, the current XHangouts 2.2 is

NOT

compatible (yet) with the just-released

Hangouts 4.0

that's being rolled out through the Play Store. I'm sure [MENTION=4195957]Kevin M[/MENTION] will let us know what his plans are when time permits.
[Xposed Framework Modules] brolic925t:
Dam i might actually use hangouts wayyyy more when he uodates the module. I hate the green but the new hangouts is amazing
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Thank you.

[MENTION=4195957]Kevin M[/MENTION] I've been using XHangouts for a bit now. Very nice nice work. The new 4.0 Hangouts is a good. Actually a great deal better than the previous version. But without XHangouts it just doesn't seem finished.
[Xposed Framework Modules] buttasselephant:
[MENTION=4195957]Kevin M[/MENTION] With the new Hangouts 4.0 version, like Google Messenger, the MMS broke for me. I'm running cm12 so I'm assuming that's what it is. I can only send and receive MMS on LTE, and not 3G (which is better for me because of where I'm located). When I tried the APN Slicing in the module, I used the same APN my phone uses for MMS, but it still didn't work. Will I just be unable to use MMS (on 3G) for good, like on Google Messenger?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
Since the current XHangouts (2.2) isn't quite yet ready for Hangouts 4.0, there' no point in tweaking its settings at this time. That said, if Hangouts doesn't allow you to receive MMS on LTE, it sounds more like a carrier/APN issue than anything else. Maybe check with your carrier to verify that you do have the correct and current APN settings (especially if you have a separate APN for MMS)?

On a side note unrelated to XHangouts, if you've heard the brouhaha about the popular "Stagefright" issue and are concerned about it, now would be a good time to verify that you have unchecked the "Auto retrieve MMS" Hangouts option to get instant immunity (assuming Hangouts is your default SMS/MMS app). Like many similar perceived "attacks", Stagefright requires active cooperation from the recipient and Hangouts makes it trivially easy to defeat.
[Xposed Framework Modules] buttasselephant:
I had meant that I could only send MMS on LTE and nothing else. But thanks for the info, I'll be hoping for an update then.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
Yes, I meant to say "does allow you to send MMS on LTE", not "doesn't", sorry. The comment stands, however. That smells like an APN issue unrelated to Hangouts or Messenger. Be especially wary of configurations with two APNs where one of them is supposed to be solely for MMS. In many cases, it's best to simply add ",mms" to the "APN Type" of the default APN (and delete the other one) but do check with your carrier. In many cases, Google can tell you more about the correct APN settings than the limited information most carriers first-tier representatives have available.
[Xposed Framework Modules] buttasselephant:
Thank you again. I'll see with my carrier. I look forward to seeing your work again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
Nonono! Blame me if I give you wrong advice, but all credit for XHangouts goes to [MENTION=4195957]Kevin M[/MENTION]. ! ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] shakazoid:
No problemo, thx for the free tool anyway.
[Xposed Framework Modules] izephyr:
Feature Request

Bypass the Google+ name of the contact and display any custom assigned name in hangouts?

For example, when Joe Smith sends a message on hangouts, it will show as custom defined "JSmith" or just anything. The name can be taken from google contacts as well.
[Xposed Framework Modules] disasterinc:
I use hangouts for voice calls on my moto x and would love to be able to change that awful default voice call ringtone. Since I'm presently using hangouts 4 I know xhangouts isn't yet compatible with this version. So I was wondering if there was a relatively straightforward way to change the default hangouts voice call ringtone on a rooted phone (other than waiting for the 4.0 compatible xhangouts update)?

thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
It doesn't appear that Google currently provides a convenient way to change that ringtone (unless you want to decompile and mod the apk), but [MENTION=4195957]Kevin M[/MENTION] might be able to work his magic in the next XHangouts version.
[Xposed Framework Modules] supermaxkato:
Direct dial with hangouts dialer

Even though hangouts dialer now appears under default phones, you still can't create a direct dial shortcut with it. So I would love to be able to have a shortcut to direct dial using hangouts dialer. So my kids can go to our deactivated phones and only touch one icon Direct dial us over WiFi.

Could this be added to your module Kevin? Like an option to send contact to home screen would creare a homescreen shortcut?

v2.3-beta1-a008277

Hello everyone. A new unstable release of XHangouts is available for testing. It includes support for the latest version of Google Hangouts. Hangouts 4.0 is overall a very nice update and I'm happy to see a few features of XHangouts are no longer necessary. The changelog is included below for your convenience.

v2.3-beta1-a008277 - 15 Aug 2015 - Beta
------------------
This unstable release of XHangouts v2.3 includes the following
changes:

* Support for only Google Hangouts 4.0.100406486
(not the older 4.0.100147489!)
* MMS APN Splicing is in desperate need of testing in this release.
If you've used this feature previously, please report back on the
XDA thread with your findings.
* The Sound replacement feature is also in need of testing.
* Attach Anytime has been removed as it is no longer needed.
* The Hide Emoji option has met a similar fate.
* The Colorize / App color feature styles almost everything.
Still a few assets that need to be recolored.
* MMS Resizing and orientation correction has been disabled. It
appears this feature is no longer needed in Hangouts 4.0.
Please provide your opinions on this.

Please turn on debug mode and report your findings, especially those of you who have relied on MMS APN Splicing in previous releases. Enjoy.
[Xposed Framework Modules] prboy1969:
DL'd, and installed. Installed no issues. I've only has a chance to check Color Change. All good.
[Xposed Framework Modules] pnunez131042:
Can't download the latest update. There's a message " a test version is available, however it isn't shown due to your global settings or module specific settings " can someone please explain this. Tia
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
if your global setting for the Xposed Repository is "stable version only", you won't automatically see the beta release. From the Xposed installer, open the "Download" tab, click on "XHangouts", then open the "Settings" tab where you'll have a chance to change to "beta" so that you can see and download the latest XHangouts. This won't have any bearing over other modules if you want to stay with their "stable" versions. It takes longer to explain than to do! ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] ImADev:
Did that setting effect the quality of all pictures that were sent via Hangouts and not just MMS? It's just that with Hangouts 3.3.94322993 the picture quality is noticeably higher than it is in 4.0.100406486. A lot of people have reported that issue as well as gifs not being animated on some devices until you click on them to go fullscreen. I was hoping that your module would actually correct the image quality problem.

If your module currently doesn't adjust the quality of images sent over the Hangouts protocol then could you support that?
[Xposed Framework Modules] LupusGallus:
Color change is nice. Still see the few things that need to be colored. Currently testing out the MMS orientation but so far so good. Don't really see the need for image quality change but that's just me.

What option is it supposed to be for the sound replacement? Can this be detailed anlittle better?

Would also love to see animated .gif support. Sometimes works sometimes doesn't with stock hangouts.
[Xposed Framework Modules] n3m35155:
Color Change and call block working perfectly!

Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Thanks. Could you please elaborate on call blocking though?

The built in Hangouts resizing algorithm definitely seems to have improved over the previous one. It finally corrects the orientation without the assistance of this module.

The sound modification does need some documentation. Essentially it replaces a few built in unchangeable sounds like the Hangouts call dialer ringtone. When you tap an option it will allow you to select a sound file on your device (mp3, aac, etc.) to play in place of the original.

For animated gif support that may be tricky. You are referring to gifs over MMS, correct? Over Hangouts messaging it seems to be pretty reliable.

Are you referring to Hangouts 3.3 with XHangouts or without it? The quality of Hangouts 4.0 seems to be much better than Hangouts 3.3 without XHangouts.

This is a pretty interesting idea. I've added it to my list of suggestions.
[Xposed Framework Modules] supermaxkato:
Thanks for taking the time to consider my idea Kevin.

You've already fixed my biggest frustration with hangouts, that being custom ringtones.

Love your module!
[Xposed Framework Modules] ImADev:
With Hangouts 3.3 both with and without XHangouts the picture quality is great, but with Hangouts 4.0 the picture quality is worse. And just to be clear, I don't mean MMS or a URL. If you select to send a photo that's saved on your device and then press on the photo after it's sent then you should notice that the image has been compressed. If you do the exact same thing with 3.3 then it's also compressed, but it looks better.

There's got to be a way to adjust that compression level within the code?

By the sound of things Hangouts 4.0 is a mess since you've got working gifs, but just check out all of the reviews on the Play Store. It's broken for a lot of people. You'll also see people saying that pictures seem distorted, unclear, blurry etc.

I'm on an Xperia Z1 with Lollipop 5.0.2.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Freak07:
[MENTION=4195957]Kevin M[/MENTION]

I have a little suggestion or request. Maybe you will consider it.

With 4.0 update below the message composing field you have buttons for emoji, camera, gallery etc.

What do you think about an option for hiding some of them?

Or to hide all of them and bring them up with a swipe from send button? I'm constantly hitting them accidentally and they do not seem to belong there.

You did some great work with your module thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] twe90kid:
Trying to figure out something..

For some reason, my hangouts doesn't ring when screen is off. It will only ring when screen is on.

Anyone know what is causing this?
[Xposed Framework Modules] n3m35155:
I meant the video call and audio call button blocking is working again.

And tbh. Xhangout is far superior to some of the apps out there that just put an ugly white box over the buttons.

Now, one request..

Background color changes maybe?

Or just an inverted version would be nice.

Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jenacadabra:
Hi, i updated to v2.2-d1a4e76 but the Enter=new line didn't work (yes, i did double check the option was ticked and rebooted). So I've now just installed the beta version as I am on Hangouts v4.0.100 405486 ...but the new line function is no longer working. Has anyone else found this? I'm on a Samsung note pro 12.1
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
That version of XHangouts does not support Google Hangouts 4.0. Try XHangouts v2.3-beta1
[Xposed Framework Modules] jenacadabra:
Thanks but I've already installed the beta version (as I mentioned ) but that doesn't work either
[Xposed Framework Modules] buffal0b1ll:
Love the module. Thanks.

If you are entertaining new functionalities for hangouts 4, I'd love to be able to disable that annoying "signed in as..." black bar when you open app or return to all conversations view. I can't stand that. Thanks again!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
My apologies. Lack of sleep. Please enable debug logging at the bottom of the XHangouts app. Toggle XHangouts off and then back on again in the Xposed Installer. In the Xposed Installer log section please clear the log (found in menu button). Reboot the device and then try to load the Hangouts and XHangouts apps. Please paste your Xposed log here or do so in a PM if you're worried about personal information potentially being included in the log.

[Xposed Framework Modules] scottayy:
Seems like this should've been built in. What good is a contact list of it can't be traversed or sorted?
[Xposed Framework Modules] jenacadabra:
Bother. Well, it definitely wasn't working before, but after I'd toggled it off and on, cleared the log and rebooted, it worked again! Very odd. Either me or my devices were clearly having an "off day". Sorry to bother you but thanks for your response.

MMS Resizing

Are you sure that we don't need MMS Resizing? It still looks really blurry on my tablet. And yes, I am running the latest and greatest version of Hangouts.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ziddey:
Do you have a protected lock screen and an altered dpi?
[Xposed Framework Modules] twe90kid:
I do not have protected screen lock.

Altered dpi, yes.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Reechings:
+1 to inverted (black background) version. Thanks for this module!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Link_of_Hyrule:
I have a feature request maybe you can get it to work. Is there anyway you can add an option to force Hangouts to use the contacts custom picture on the conversation list and the read up to marker? This bug has drove me insane for months that it shows the custom contact picture in the conversation but not on the conversation list or the read up to marker.

A dark material option would be pretty cool like others have stated above.

I'm sure you know this but the send arrow should probably change to match the theme color instead of staying green.

Anyways keep up the great work!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Desiredbean:
I have to say I'd love for there to be a dark material theme. One of my favorite modules, thank you so much.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
My apologies for the lack of updates. I was hoping to have a second beta available by now but school is starting up again.

Could you give it a go without the DPI changes? I'm interested to see if it changes the quality.

This has been pretty heavily requested and it's been a pain to track down. I'll be sure to make an announcement if I find something. From what I can tell it's not even a bug. Google just wants their photos to be used in Hangouts for some reason.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Link_of_Hyrule:
Yeah it's stupid and they should be using the custom contact photo instead of the Google+ photo.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ssewk2x:
Feature request:

I went back deceased pages and didn't see this, so here it goes. With the latest update, Google has removed the option to make a call using your carrier network and number, and instead insists on placing the call through Google voice when you hit the phone icon in a hangout. When I'm on WiFi, this isn't so bad, but on LTE, it's gonna use my data, and that's no good at all. Is there any way this choice could be brought back via this module?
[Xposed Framework Modules] SiNJiN76:
What I hate the most right now is that the ability to write a message with the screen grab or picture you're about to send has been removed! So now, if the person replies fast or you mess up the text, the "caption", for the photo will not have the same effect.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Javs2010:
Will the being able to change the quality of picture you post for the module be added again? Would love it back because screenshots can't be read due to how horrible the quality is for me when posting for some reason before this new hangouts update it wasn't this noticeable
[Xposed Framework Modules] kchannel9:
I am most annoyed that in the new update the time stamps are automatically hidden now unless you long press and press details. I need time stamps!

Colors is the only feature I use that still works with 4.2
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Yep. I plan on having a second beta available sometime this week but it may not support Hangouts 4.2 until a later release.

Added to my list.

I'm looking into this. The problem seems to be a little more involved in Hangouts 4.

Added to my list. It is odd... The only way to reply with an attachment right now is to use the very limited image listing in the app.

Interesting. On my list.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ImADev:
Are you sending hangouts pictures or MMS? For me it's Hangouts picture messages that have lost quality.

http://i.imgur.com/4MAJwMo.png

On the left is a Hangouts picture message sent with version 3.3.94322993 and on the right is the exact same picture sent with 4.2.102354210.

You should notice that the colors have adjusted slightly and that the image is a lot more pixelated on the right side, especially if you zoom in a little. This can sometimes look much worse too.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Javs2010:
Same here I don't use hangouts for mms just using it as regular hangouts and the quality is indeed horrible! Very noticeable when you go back to an older version it isn't as bad
