Gotcha! Subscribed to this thread and very closely watching the development of this app. Can't use it as a daily driver just yet bc of bugs and what-not. But this has GREATTT potential! Especially once the themes start getting pumped out like they do for EvolveSMS.

Btw, did you see my mini-feature request haha
[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix232:
Great app! Keep up the good work. I'm definitely donating by the end of the day.
[Android Apps and Games] tonyafc:
One more when i press compose new message can we not have the keyboard launch automatically?
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
That, plus not going into MMS attachments when opening a convo/starting a new one.
[Android Apps and Games] closee91:
Is the ui staying the same? I think swiping gestures would be nice! Like swiping into a conversation and swiping back out to get to the conversation list. Just wondering.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
This only happens one time, when you first start the app, to make you aware there exists a list off to the side.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
OG Hangouts layout?
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
The keyboard pops up automatically when you compose a new message? Or you want it to in a future tweak?
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Version 0.9.9.7.1 posted:

Fixes:

Random notification crashes

Navigation bar overlay problems on custom DP lollipop devices

Added:

Darken Status Bar option (Lollipop only)
[Android Apps and Games] closee91:
Something like qksms (I think that's the app)
[Android Apps and Games] tonyafc:
The beta fixes the navbar on the main screen but not thru out the ui & i mean that when i press the compose button on the main screen it opens up the box but all other sms would open the box & then open keyboard so you can type the name of who you want to text & is it possible to add delete to your actions? Thanks for all your hard work

Almost the perfect messaging app... Group messages coming in as separate threads
[Android Apps and Games] ad44891:
So far so good.. But what about a visible cursor when u typing a message thx
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Cursor shows up for me on lollipop, what version are you running?
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
That sure is annoying... For me, the group messages will merge back with the starting group conversation thread after killing the app and restarting. Is it the same for you?
[Android Apps and Games] ahrion:
Reply from statusbar notification doesn't pop-up correctly. It disappears once the heads up comes. Sense 7 5.1
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
It works perfectly for me, although I'm not getting any heads up notifications on my device, only the ticker and quick reply. If at all possible, can you attach a video of the unexpected behavior?
[Android Apps and Games] jdiddy_ub:
i haven't tried that...even if that is the case, i wouldn't want to have to be doing that all the time

since i use group messaging quite often I have downloaded textra while hoping this will be fixed
[Android Apps and Games] tornido067:
any possible way to add chat heads ? :D
[Android Apps and Games] Howlin1:
I don't see a cursor on Android 4.4 either.
[Android Apps and Games] closee91:
Like fb messenger chat heads why the hell would you want that?!

If you want that just use fb messenger...
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
He already has plans to add chat heads

What an idiotic response...Lots of people want chatheads implemented, it is the most voted option on the poll here on this thread lol. With Fb messenger you cant send sms so why would he use fb messenger?lol

Please guys, check my last post on the Falcon G+ community, need feedbacks ????

---------- Post added 04-07-2015 at 12:02 AM ---------- Previous post was 03-07-2015 at 11:41 PM ----------

It's not about Falcon but do you know why emojis appears as ??? In xda and how to get it to work ?
[Android Apps and Games] ad44891:
I'm on latest version.. But I'm on kk
[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix232:
Now that you mentioned, it's not showing here either. I'm on a S4 Mini Duos with KitKat using the latest version.

Also, is there any way you could make the Desktop Sync feature work without installing Pushbullet? I've been looking for a simple app where I could just access my phone's LAN IP and see and reply messages. It would be way easier.

EDIT: I changed to Night Mode to save some battery and now I can see the cursor. And when I select a conversation the bin icon is invisible, but it is there, the problem is the icon is white and so is the background. I believe that might be the same thing that is happening to the cursor.

Debug-info:

OS Version: 3.4.105·[PreCog.me]·ShinTo·Kernel·SecondReality-V40A06(N9005XXUGNI4) KitKat 4.4.2

OS API Level: 19

Device: hlte

Model (and Product): SM-N9005 (hltexx)

Xposed installed.

Keyboard: Swype Dragon

I found two glitches:

1) Invisible trash icon when in multi edit mode

2) There's no text indicator when typing a message - important, because now correcting typos is nearly impossible, so do pasting the text.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Added these issues to Trello. I believe I have an immediate fix for the invisible trashcan bug, the cursor bug is interesting. I hope everyone enjoyed the 4th of July weekend!

Edit: posted 0.9.9.7.2 which should fix the invisible trash can and invisible edittext cursor on KitKat. Can you confirm?
[Android Apps and Games] kpr2877:
Thank you, I'm glad to see your involvement into Falcon [emoji3]
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
I finished the tutorial for creating Falcon SMS themes. Need to get Themers working on this ASAP, tons of users are expecting themes and I can't possibly create them all myself. If you have an interesting idea for a theme, you can view the PDF tutorial here: https://github.com/TimboMachimbo/falcon_theme
[Android Apps and Games] jdiddy_ub:
Any plans to fix group messaging? Responses creating separate threads
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
You should put this on G+ as well as reddit to gain some traction!
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
I saw your post blew up last time, any chance you can do that again? Haha
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Just group messages create separate threads? Not pictures? What about the contents of these new threads, do they contain messages?
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Surely buddy. PM me and we can work out a nice post fitted to your needs to get a lot of themers on board.
[Android Apps and Games] lars85destroyer:
Looking at this
[Android Apps and Games] jdiddy_ub:
not sure about pictures....i had a few group messages going prior to downloading falcon sms and i sent a message in one of them and all the responses came back in separate threads

the messages seemed to be fine...the issue was that it wasn't a group message anymore
[Android Apps and Games] R_Chin:
This app has lots of potential, it is fast and beautiful with a nice clean crisp look. The only thing that is a big issue, as stated before, is that the notifications seem backwards with it sending one when sending a message, and not getting one when a message was received. Also the MMS, once that is running all smooth with pictures and group messages the app will be in a good place
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
You are the dev', so it's you the driver :P

I'm just reporting ;)
[Android Apps and Games] tornido067:
nice app :) mate just solve the notification and memory optimizations issues and its done :)
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Working diligently on the MMS/Notification bugs today. Will update when progress is made. Since MMS doesn't have any documentation from Google, it's difficult to get it working on all devices, this is where you, the community, comes in handy.
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
It has a lot of potential. If it becomes a bit more material design(colors and different bubble types also) and includes quick reply im sold=p
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Finished MMS sending today, will work on the receiver tomorrow. Decided not to post a new apk because MMS is only half working.
[Android Apps and Games] Robles23:
Any progress update?
[Android Apps and Games] sirjasonroberts:
I've noticed that when changing the primary color or sender/receiver bubble color a toast notification prompts you to restart app to take effect but so far everything takes effect right away after selection. No need to restart but the toast pops up.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Update: Posted

MMS receiving is tricky. Since there is no documentation for MMS I've been taking shots in the dark all day. I boils down to this: There is no way to detect the proper settings for MMS (MMSC, Proxy, Port) on 100% of devices as it requires system permissions and this is an SDK app. I've considered keeping a giant lookup table of known configurations for certain devices eg. Samsung devices on Verizon, but this is far from optimal. Posting an update as soon as I can get MMS to a point where you all can test configurations and report back to me what settings worked and which didn't.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Changing the primary color doesn't require a restart, you are correct, but the send/receive bubble colors do require a restart, or at a minimum have the lists reload themselves. In the future I plan to reload the lists so a restart isn't required, but I haven't gotten to it yet.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Update 0.9.5 posted.

Brings MMS support & miscellaneous bug fixes (shout out to those who submitted crash reports)

Next order of business:

Quick Reply chat dialogs

MMS over Wifi

Vibrate customization
[Android Apps and Games] Illogi.xbone:
Suhweet! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
I sent you a crash report, don't take care of it, my bad.

The second one is "good"
[Android Apps and Games] Illogi.xbone:
Minor Bug:

When composing a new message it opens up a chat pane that cannot be used to send messages. Just back out of it and go into the conversation at that point for now.
[Android Apps and Games] Illogi.xbone:
[YOUTUBE]5fMVPLsu5CE[/YOUTUBE]

For those that want to see it in action.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Update 0.9.6

Fixed:

New compose dialog wrong thread opened bug

Animation jank associated with the compose dialog

More vibrant colors

Added:

Theme transparency

Theme preview icons in Visual Tweaks tab in Settings
[Android Apps and Games] Illogi.xbone:
Slider for transparency is impossible to use other than that awesome release!
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Impossible to use?
[Android Apps and Games] Illogi.xbone:
Can't see it, may just be touchwiz. I'll send you a recording of it in the morning. All I can see is the slider button.
[Android Apps and Games] BreckZeBoulay:
Tests made with 0.9.6

See screenshot for sending mms. My contact receive the same "picture" (lg g4) or the following message (iphone 3gs) : "Images attachment(s) deleted from the message to adapt to your device capabilities"

And for receiving mms, I receive a notification in nav bar, when I open it it's blank. I suppose it's a mms.

APN are well set. Size of mms 300 ko to be sure (my carrier supports up to 600 ko).
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
So it was received as if it were an individual message?
[Android Apps and Games] jdiddy_ub:
yes...it breaks away from the group message and starts a new thread with that individual person
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Just posted version 0.9.9.7.3!

Fixes a lot of the bugs causing the toolbar to not sync correctly with the content.

Plus some optimizations to reduce the apk size.﻿
[Android Apps and Games] Robles23:
Any news or updates as far as the chatheads feature? Any idea as to when we might see that feature? I remember when the poll first started I was the first one to vote for chat heads lol. Can't wait!
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
It's a big feature I'd like to get right the first time. Right now, there's enough work to be done getting it better than Textra from a stability standpoint that I think it would make a fun hackathon project.
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
thats gonna be a big challenge, textra has some flaws, but stability isnt one of them xD.

keep up the nice work!
[Android Apps and Games] blestsol:
Setting your standards high lol. That's what's up though. Don't forget to sleep and take breaks though.
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
Btw [MENTION=6732305]TimboMachimbo[/MENTION] just noticed that on your bug list there isnt the bug with quick reply in which text is not shown if you write more than one line on the quick reply. I mean, whats behind disappears and the only way to know what is there is to erase everything until it shows the first line again. Dont know if i explained it right, let me know if you didnt understand
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
I understand you. The quick reply text box doesn't expand beyond one line in the case your message is longer than one line. I'll fix this for the next update!

Status update for everyone else, I'm materializing certain parts of the app today starting with the compose dialog. I've already discussed the changes over on the Google+ page, so if you're interested go check it out.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Working on a larger than normal update, so no new releases expected tonight, but lots of progress being made. Unfortunately the transparent scrolling effect in the Settings activity had to bite it because it was causing the strange behavior where the title indicator wouldn't center itself correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
It seems quite easy to create a theme...just tried modding textra with google messenger's bubbles and i was successful...it was my first time trying. When i get the time(and purchase this app) i will check out the tutorial better and try to make a theme
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Just posted version 0.9.9.7.4!

New additions:

Floating Action Button Shortcuts

Theme Factory can now theme all colors manually

Fixes:

Quick Reply now supports longer than 1 line responses

Notification sounds

Random crashes
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
I'm hoping to work closely with the Theming community in creating Theme Factory. It should be treated like a stand alone project and will get updates for things like fonts, wallpapers, etc based on community feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
Great update. But may I suggest something? It seems to me that 4 euros for access to theming is a bit much...dont get me wrong, I am able to afford it, but maybe if you lower the price a bit you will have much more people interested in theming the app. Because there are many users that won't pay 4 euros, but they would pay 2 or a little more...it's just my opinion, of course you know what is best for your app

Btw changing color sometimes causes force close
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Agreed. Other SMS apps allow themeing (nowhere near to the extent of this app obviously) for free. Maybe lower it to a $1.50 or something? Just throwing out ideas..

Also, what's new with v9.9.7.5?
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Price discovery is always challenging. I've yet to find a final price, it might go up, it might go down, whichever makes the app the default SMS app for as many people.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Fixes the crash Miguel was talking about.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Just made some big performance improvements. Will upload it tonight within the hour.
[Android Apps and Games] Jbchi:
Would it be possible to have an option to assign different colors to contacts? It makes group messaging a whole lot easier!
[Android Apps and Games] Learn2swim31:
Just noticed a strange issue after updating to 0.9.9.7.6

When viewing conversations in the app, Main page looks normal & im able to see the last message sent or received for each conversation. But once i enter a individual conversation, all my sent messages show up as outlined blank circles, so im unable to view or read my sent messages.

Including pictures to show what i mean. (I havent changed any settings for a few updates now so im not sure the cause) My Device: LG G2 5.0.2 Stock(Root)
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Colors could be added. Contact photos are used when available, but I think what you're suggesting is different colors for the message backgrounds per person?
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Version 0.9.9.7.6 posted.

Brings performance improvements to multi-core devices
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Wow that looks funky...

Your received message backgrounds don't look as they should as well. I was planning on working on the "in app messaging experience" tomorrow, so I will add this to the list of things to fix.
[Android Apps and Games] isaacXL:
Request

Dear developer add spam filter black list, change font and size, add new themes and Turkish language please. Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
Yes it is hard indeed...Your app is getting so good, once it is near the final releases(once you get most of the things done and updated to play store) it will become one of the most downloaded sms apps i think. You keep adding features and the app is still so fluid and smooth it is incredible=p. There are many ways you could go about pricing...either bring the price down for theming(or keep the same, upping the price will be bad for the app if you are interested in having more support for themes imo). Or just charge 2€ for the whole app, including theming(instead of being free). Or maybe have a free version with limited features, and a pro version with all the features. Scan some users to see what would they prefer(or ask some friends), and implement whichever option is preferred. Just my opinion=p
[Android Apps and Games] Jbchi:
More so different bubble colors per contact. Similar to Google Messenger, I suppose
[Android Apps and Games] aamzalag:
Any chance you can add in conversation contact avatars? Also i noticed the emoji keyboard that is built into the app looks super funky and doesnt cover the whole keyboard. Its quite messy looking. Other than that the app is quite nice if a bit interesting looking. The side panel for sending attachments looks almost holo ui rather than material.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] Blart:
Yes, that would be great. It makes a conversation with several people much easier to read.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Version 0.9.9.7.8 posted:

Fixes:

Hamburger icon themable

Launch colors plays better with night mode
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
G-Play or just here on XDA?

Btw, still only shows 3 of my 6 contact pics...
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
its incredible how Samsung manages to **** up a lot of things on android...if only they would make it possible to unlock the bootloader and just flash stock android..

btw [MENTION=6732305]TimboMachimbo[/MENTION] just noticed that when i receive 2 or more sms(in my case from the same person), the quick reply shows only the first sms and if i reply to it, it clears all the notification from that person, leaving me with unread messages marked as read

edit: Correction, it happens outside quick reply too, notification show only one sms if you receive 2 sms from the same person
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Not true.... bc it works on literally ALL other SMS apps I've ever used (AwSMS, Material Messaging & YAATA SMS).

And PS- the bootloader is unlocked.
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
maybe not this time, but Samsung changes a lot of code that causes problems with some apps. I have owned a Galaxy A5...

btw of course i was mentioning unlocking bootloader without triggering knox and losing warranty, i know it is possible if you are willing to let go of warranty
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Knox is only the crappy Samsung warranty. I bet like 25% of (Samsung) root users care about Knox lol. I have Sprint insurance anyway :D
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Posted 0.9.9.7.9:

Hotfix for some minor theme issues.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
It shows the most recent SMS from that contact, not sure how to handle the case where the user is replying to quick reply and a new message from that contact comes in, currently, it doesn't replace the composing quick reply.
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
What about the contact pic issue??
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Early results show that I've fixed it (not in the update out now). I guess we'll find out tonight, won't we?
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Why, what's tonite??
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
If it was from the same contact it would be cool if it showed another line with the new message, but that would probably be a lot of work...but you should at least update the notification to show "2 sms from contact x" or something like that, so users don't miss messages accidentally
[Android Apps and Games] jdiddy_ub:
Any news about group messaging? It's the only feature keeping me from using this awesome app
[Android Apps and Games] Weetbix:
I'm loving the app so far after a couple of days trying out!

I've only got 2 issues so far... And I haven't seen them mentioned yet:

* I can't get mms to send. At all. Mobile data turns on and falcon says it is sending, but it never makes it. The app settings in falcon look correct. If I use the stock Samsung messaging app it works. I need to do some more testing on this and get a logcat (and gates receiving as well).

* If I am in the gallery app and share a picture to falcon for an MMS, I get taken to the main message thread index. The picture I am trying to share automatically gets put in the first thread, I don't get asked who I want to share it with.

I'm on a rooted Samsung Galaxy Note II (n7100) running a Samsung based kitkat rom.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Thank you for that detailed bug report. I think I know what caused that message switching bug you're talking about. As for MMS, you need to get your carrier MMSC/etc settings and input them into settings if auto or any of the presets do not work. If you can get working settings, please report them to me and I will make it a preset in the future!
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
I *may* have fixed it for tonight's release. Strangely enough, the contact photo and mms bug might be related.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
Your pain may be over soon, I've made some internal changes that *may* fix the contact photos, but then again I don't have a device to test.
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Awesome!! Hype for tonites release and tomorrow's surprise for everyone ;)

Sent from my Sprint GS6
[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix232:
I've been using this app as my main SMS app for some time now and I really like it. The only thing I'm missing are scheduled messages, which I use a lot. Also, I believe there's no reason for a "More" button, since when you press Attach, it opens the same menu.
[Android Apps and Games] TimboMachimbo:
The more button is a placeholder for conversation settings in the future. I just want to make dang sure people know the side drawers are there.
[Android Apps and Games] SammyP6:
Just purchased the theme factory. It is awesome. There is so many things to change. I'll have to play around with it a bit more :).

Keep up the good work dev.
