Honestly, that is not a big deal to me at all. I use one message tone for all SMS, and have since George W. Bush was president ;) (But have had over 35 phones) But I'm probably among the minority on this :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
+1...i dont really care for different settings per contact really...if i have a notification i turn the screen on and see it, thats it lol
[Android Apps and Games] Centimes:
Good job, it's beautiful!
[Android Apps and Games] Misfitlove:
The thing is, most SMS apps let you pick a specific ringtone for a contact right from the app. Even most stock SMS apps do. Why should we have to download a second app if we just want to give Jim a different notification tone than Bob, when plenty of other SMS apps let us do without having to download anything else? I think it would be a poor choice, in my opinion, to split it up into another app.
[Android Apps and Games] blestsol:
I agree. It would be simply, doing too much. If my opinion has any relevance I'd rather you just focus on bugs
[Android Apps and Games] qwerty123321:
Awesome app !can you please add delayed delivery ?
[Android Apps and Games] SammyP6:
Same here. I use the same sound for everyone. Once I changed the sound for one of my contacts but when I flashed a new ROM update I was to lazy to change individual contact sounds.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Made some big improvements with scrolling performance today. Next update is shaping up to be a great one!
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
great UI, works great, great features

great;)
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Contact pics fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Doing a complete rewrite of the app. Too many problems with the current version. Contact pics are being worked on.
[Android Apps and Games] auxman:
Different fonts

Recommend same font selection for Conversation view as you have in the Inbox view...
[Android Apps and Games] wadamean:
Needs serveral tweaks and options to add

---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------

1. Scheduled sending

2. Convo personalization colors

3. Quicker way to compose messege

4. Quicker way to delete messeges

5. Quicker way to as attachments for sure
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Complete rewrite..? What happened lol?! :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Check under "Conversation Settings" in Theme Factory. Same options for fonts should be there, plus options for different sent/received fonts
[Android Apps and Games] auxman:
When I tap "Conversation Settings", a pop-up displays "Under development. Patience is rewarded." I have purchased the Theme Factory, is there another build that includes this feature coming soon? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] lars85destroyer:
Update to latest version. Check first post and Google drive link.
[Android Apps and Games] auxman:
I don't know if this has been discussed but with the latest release today, I pull up Conversation view and all of my pictures in any thread I pull up are the same picture... yet when I tap on the picture and open it in Gallery, the correct picture for that text is displayed. Am I missing something in the settings?
[Android Apps and Games] lars85destroyer:
I don't think, that is probably a know bug. But timbo has said on Google+ that he is rewriting the app from scratch, that could be fixed with the next release
[Android Apps and Games] theodorius123:
short question: I sent a message with two recipients - and I got charged by my carrier for two MMS-messages. why is falcon sending this as MMS-messages and not as two normal SMS?
[Android Apps and Games] lars85destroyer:
Disable MMS for group messaging in advanced settings
[Android Apps and Games] theodorius123:
I was looking for such an option, scrolled the advanced options up and down three times...cant find this option..
[Android Apps and Games] lars85destroyer:
Hum .. You're right. Wtf, I was sure there was an option for this before.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Quick update for people following this post:

I've moved back to college this weekend. Still setting up internet at the apartment, but I plan to still work on Falcon on the side.

As for the beta group over on Google+, I have temporarily stopped adding people to the group until the next beta is released. As everyone knows, I am working on a complete rewrite and the next version will address most of the bugs everyone has reported including MMS, contact pictures, performance. New features will be added as well, but I am saving the full list for the next release.

TDLR; Project is still in development, business as usual.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Found a faster way to display emoji, but it requires some tedious work I don't have time for right now, unfortunately. If you are interested in speeding up development & getting your name on the in-app credits, send me a message.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Been a while since I've made an official post here. College started 3 weeks ago for me, but I'm finding time on the side to release a stable version of Falcon. I just finished per-contact colors, and I'd like opinions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NjvoSEWuGY&feature=youtu.be
[Android Apps and Games] Eratrion:
Looks great! Can't wait to try it now! Will there be an option to change the colors including sender color?
[Android Apps and Games] SammyP6:
Looks really good.
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
It looks really good, looking forward to it
[Android Apps and Games] thyttel:
Really like your app. But one thing that all 3rd party sms programs suffer from and only programs that got it right is stock sms app on my s6 edge and Textra sms. And that's mms. No matter what I choose in mms size limit all mms that I send to myself to test comes out low res and really awfully quality. Same does not happens with stock and Textra. Pictures come out crisp and clear with those.

Something you can do something about? Maybe prevent app from compressing pictures so bad?

can u add dual sim support plz
[Android Apps and Games] blestsol:
Projects on Hiatus.
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Hate to break it to you guys... This has been dead for a while now. Dev is MIA and project is most definitely abandoned.
[Android Apps and Games] oldman20:
nice app, better if have funtion like delay to sent sms!
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Most definitely not abandoned. I am still here.
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
lol :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Ashareth:
You DO realize he is alone working on it, that he has other priorities (like University like he said), and that the app is more than functionnal now.

Having to wait a bit for new features/some polishing isn't really a problem. :)
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
When there is 3+ with no development or Dev contact, it's dead. Go check the G+ page......
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Controversy aside, I have been working very hard this weekend on getting Falcon back to a releasable state. Here is the current bug list:

Known bugs:

Inbox settings editor (visual bugs)

Missing Pushbullet support

Compose Message screen missing ability to add MMS

Shortlisted Attachments panel not finished

Rotation bugs with Material Menus

MainActivity primary color and accent color not being set, while SettingsActivity is

No way to view message date via click or long click

Delete old messages “AutoTrim” not functional

Title doesn’t change when opening conversation linked to contact without first or last name.

No individual conversation notification/appearance colors

Needs:

Compose Dialog

Ability to change contact color (Randomly assigned based on your theme’s color palette as of now)

Needs better help menus for new users

Photo backgrounds

Option to enable built-in HeadsUp notifications Lollipop+

Obviously, I need to get basic things like the compose dialog finished before pushing it back out there.

I would like to get a release out before Sunday so people can get back on the Falcon train.

As for the Google+ page, I there are about 229 of you guys who have signed up, but I have not approved. This is because there has not been any new development and getting new input on older work does no one any good because I was already working on a rewrite that has yet to be released. As soon as the update is posted, most all of you should get approved.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Getting back into the swing of things. Today, I finished the compose screen. It now allows you to attach images, videos, audio, and contact info.

Plus, it has a nice FAB transition based on this library: https://android-arsenal.com/details/1/2763
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Another day, another step towards release. Need to fix some critical bugs in notifications and MMS before it's releasable.

Onto more interesting things...

Some of you requested a demo of Falcon's revamped Material design. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZXcgYADKFM&feature=youtu.be
[Android Apps and Games] MUS2006:
It doesn't work with dual SIM, I can't send SMS.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Quick quick update,

Save for a stubborn MMS bug, the app's release is imminent. Should I fix the MMS bug first and then release or push it out as is, and then update later in the week with an MMS fix?

Update: More info on the MMS bug, MMS sends properly, but is not viewable inside the app.

New features: I would like to push out the ability to import/export theme preferences inside the app so those of you who spent hours getting Falcon just right will never have to repeat the process again. This includes little things like message padding, etc. The long term aim is to make it simple for users of Falcon to share their themes, maybe a Falcon Theme Store?

Please post your opinions below.
[Android Apps and Games] Robles23:
I think as long as you have the main core functions up and running you should release it. By core functions I mean sending and receiving sms successfully. Sending mms and receiving successfully. And app not randomly crashing. Pushbullet and crap like that are extras. The main point is to stay getting feedback on the core points from the community to fix any possible bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] de.er:
I'd say fix the MMS bug first, otherwise you're releasing a product that people will moan and ***** about.
[Android Apps and Games] dawgdoc:
Is the MMS bug related to group messages or to sending images/videos?
[Android Apps and Games] jean_deanny:
Nice app bro!

Always waiting for your new updates...

Thanks for this cool work!
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Thank you to everyone for waiting patiently these past couple days. I have good news to report!

I will give MMS one last attempt at a fix today, but regardless, I am pushing out the updated version of Falcon tonight! It is by no means a perfect release, but that's where you guys and gals come in :)
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
To bolster a more open discussion, I founded /r/falconsms link here: https://www.reddit.com/r/falconsms/

Collaborate with other users of the app, and many many more people prefer Reddit to XDA/Google+
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Version 0.9.10 is live!

Along with general stability fixes comes a number of notable changes

Latest Material Design

Redesigned Compose Message screen

Emoji Keyboard now uses Emoji One (multi-racial emojis coming soon)

Theme Backup/Import options (You can share your custom themes created inside of Falcon with other users of Falcon too!))

Speed improvements

Group MMS should work now (need you guys to all verify this)

Pictures/Video MMS does not work yet

Auto hide toolbar when composing message

Full screen immersion mode when scrolling through past messages

Landscape UI improvements (emoji keyboard, bottom sheet menus)

Accent color option under theming

Conversation Item padding and bubble spacing options

App crashes are now automatically reported in the background

Everyone give the app a nice try and report any bugs/unexpected behavior you encounter!
[Android Apps and Games] ej8989:
Awesome animations!

A few bugs:

1. Text highlighter has white background. This doesn't happen in any other app.

2. Tabbed Layout doesn't work

3. Messages will not be marked as read unless you manually go to inbox list and open the conversation

4. QuickReply doesn't show the message content
[Android Apps and Games] Eratrion:
I can confirm all of these. Also, if you happen to reply to a text with the quick reply, it either gets sent to the wrong person or something that I found, it sends to someone other SMS apps will mark as "Anonymous." Where it actually goes, no idea because none of my contacts actually received it.

Not sure if this was the issue but, I also noticed when I had received texts from two people both with MMS messages in the thread (they didn't send me an MMS right then, it was a while before just in the thread), the app would start and almost immediately crash. Not sure what exactly caused it, but you should have received some crash reports.
[Android Apps and Games] tornido067:
the quick reply issue is really annoying bro...and btw are you going to add chat heads ?THIS WILL BE SO COOOOOL !
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
I got the crash reports. Thank you for reporting them, I will get on that tonight.
[Android Apps and Games] joshualuna:
Once all these bugs r fixd and add signature is included thn I wil purchace. Specialy pic mms. Gota hav tht. Also gettng to choose a background insted of all white for conversation theme.
[Android Apps and Games] masibala:
Go for it and keep a work :good:
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
Sweet!You seem really devoted to the app, keep up the good work.As soon as it becomes more tested by other users i probably will switch to your app(cant switch right now because i send a lot of sms and rely a lot on stability)
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
I'm having troubles following. Your recipient got the photo, but as for receiving, you got a blank notification, but no image? I've noticed in my testing for some reason you must receive two MMS messages before the download intent is launched. This bug is carried across most all custom SMS/MMS apps on lollipop I've used, and as you can imagine, testing MMS is very frustrating lol. Can you find a custom SMS/MMS app where this isn't the case?
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
It must be a touchwiz specific issue. Regardless, it has been fixed in version 0.9.6.1
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Would be more than willing to help you test MMS over wifi!! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Thank you for the support. Check back in a week, you might be surprised by the pace of development!
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
My recipient got the same picture with the exclamation point

Yes

I confirm :p

Textra works fine
[Android Apps and Games] Illogi.xbone:
Downloads gone?
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Whoops, added the apk back to the attachments section. XDA's attachment interface isn't so responsive all the time.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Just a little teaser for tomorrow's release...
[Android Apps and Games] tornido067:
Seems legit xD thanks for your efforts ! Are you really planning for chat heads ? And can we help you in any way ?
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
Awesome!thats one of the best implementations of quick reply imo. I only know one app that has done it so far. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Update posted. Let me know your opinions :)
[Android Apps and Games] Illogi.xbone:
So far I like it! Hoping we can get cross platform soon. However, that would mean you need servers, which in turn means funding. Will donate what I can come payday! If this turns out like I hope it will then expect a good donation also down the road! Keep up the excellent work!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] closee91:
This app looks promising. I'm thinking of switching over from EvolveSms
[Android Apps and Games] Illogi.xbone:
The problem with most apps like this is that there are too many options and clutter that can be annoying. This doesn't have a lot of features, which I think is good, but is also very sleek. One request though, when starting a new conversation could it not open the attachment pane please?
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Yeah, definitely. The attachment pane auto opens so first time users are aware of the ability to slide in from the screen edge.

Planning on keeping this app as clean as possible. There is still some interface simplifying I'd like to do, but I'm prioritizing stability first so this is daily driver material & not forgotten.
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
just tried your quick reply, works very well! Just some things to point out. I tested seding sms to myself. When i receive the sms the popup works as it should, but if i swipe it to discard it, the notification stays there. It also happens when i reply to the popup. When i receive another sms, the previous notification disappears but the new one stays there again if i swipe it or if i reply to it.

Btw it would be cool to keep the popup reply active after unlocking the screen

You are probably aware of what i said as this is your first try on the popup reply, but if you werent then what i mentioned will be useful.

Just noticed another bug, i received a text from a friend and clicked on the notification and it brought me to the wrong conversation.

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Yep, I'm aware of these bugs & plan on working on them today. But there's no way of you to know that haha
[Android Apps and Games] Marty_Since87:
Going to give this a try.
[Android Apps and Games] R_Chin:
I've noticed a weird, slight bug while using it on my phone. The send button doesn't actually say send, its like it didn't get resized correctly to fit my phone and it is just the top couple pixels of "send." Its very minor and the app still works but it is just something that takes away from the beauty.
[Android Apps and Games] brian7000:
Any fix for MMS not sending?
[Android Apps and Games] dawgdoc:

mms bug in CM 13, maybe rom problem ?
[Android Apps and Games] dawgdoc:
It was stated with release of latest version that image/video mms messages were not working.

Group messages should be working.

Which type of mms were you having problems with and what was the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] SteveCC:
Does this sms app support on Dual sim device like Motorola X Play?

Choosing which sim card to be used to send sms/
[Android Apps and Games] theobeaudenon:
Image mms on french operator.
[Android Apps and Games] dawgdoc:
Unfortunately you, and I, will be waiting on a future update for a fix to this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] aaasey786:
This app is great, I'll be keeping tabs on it FOR the MMS fix. Great work developer. Smooth, Fast, and Beautiful UI. Only features I would feel like are missing for the best smh app would be sending location, vCard, scheduled smh(option to repeat), and obviously MMs. Seeing as this is a beta it is very encouraging to see just a great app being so good in performance. I keep switching between Google messenger, evolve sms, and textra. Can't wait for the feature implantation so I can make this my default sms app
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Quick update for everyone following:

I have decided to rebase development of Falcon around the open source private messenger, Signal. Advantages of this being all MMS bugs fixed, users of Falcon can communicate securely with one another plus make free voice calls. Doing this will allow me to focus less on the backend bugs and more on improving the UI, which is what I love most.
[Android Apps and Games] Illogi.xbone:
I am back to the Android game after a bit of a idiotic decision, got a really, really, really good deal on an iPhone 6. Bought a nexus and will be DLing again asap!

[Android Apps and Games] O_DoC:

Unfortunately I not aware about these details... So thanks for the explanation.

And just to be sure, you talked about this app 'falcon' or the app in the post just above 'quicksms' ? It's quite confusing... [emoji16]

[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
First build based off Signal is complete. Download link will be in the description (first post)

Moving forward I am going to incorporate more Falcon features into the Signal base. Advantages of this is you get a daily driver from day one, with new features being added weekly. This first build has swipe back and FAB transitions. More customizability to come.
