Unfortunately not working for me too. I am running Slim6 MM on a Samsung S5 Mini. The testhead is working fine, but no head from any messenger. Granted all permissions and display overlay.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
That really shoudn't happen. I want you to debug it for me if possible. Please check your PM.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Major Update

V1.1 -

* Now create your own ChatHeads for any app or messenger!

- Just add and enable apps you want for ChatHeads in app settings menu.

- Reply box will only shown for apps that support reply feature.

* Ignore Chats by filter keyword for each App.

* Chat Themes for Pro Version.

* Added multiline text support for sending messages.​
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Pro users, please try out the new Beta version available on Google Play (you need to enroll to Open Beta first at bottom of page). It fixes most of the mentioned issues while adding some new cool additions.

Some of these are -

- Recent ChatHead icon updates with your recent chat

- Option to use border color same as of app color

- Enter Key to Send Option

- Android Messaging support (need testing)

- Other bug fixes and optimizations

You can send your feedback either here or in google plus community. If everything goes okay, I will push it to public.
[Android Apps and Games] aillez:
I'm not sure is It a expected result or not.

But when I try to put It to recent chat. Icon will show only half.

Please see screenshot for more information.

Edited: Looks like it's a expected result. Just have recent chat more than 2 chat icon will be fulfill.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Yeah, images get divided based on recent chats. So if you have 2 chats in Recent list, icon will show those 2 chats display picture and if you have 4, it will divide into 4 and show the first four display picture of chat. Its similar to facebook group chat, its icons gets formed into collage of display pictures of members. I guess I will use some solid area to fill the empty region so it doesn't look bug to some as in this case.
[Android Apps and Games] aillez:
It would be good.

because it's looks like a bug for me.

Anyway thanks for an update.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Update is public now. You guys will love new Recent Chats overhaul.
[Android Apps and Games] TheBlues08:
This app support messenger lite?

/ sr for bad english :(
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Yes, for Android N and above.
[Android Apps and Games] digiNZM:
Hello - really pretty app. I enjoyed it on my stock device. Just one (maybe stupid - sorry) question: Is there any chance to get this running without Play Store? MicroG or something?

Thanks & keep up this pretty coding.
[Android Apps and Games] Similarion:
Is it just me or are the chat heads not popping up sometimes for Facebook Messenger with the recent update?
[Android Apps and Games] sulasno:

Can't reproduce the bug. More testing required
[Android Apps and Games] majazer:
Can you add layout settings ? Such as bubbles under chat window. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
[Localization Update] New beta update has been rolled out with added translations for German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Portuguese (BR), Russian, Italian.

Currently these are only Google translated but you can help in improving translations and adding missing languages by contributing here - https://www.localize.im/v/Dh

I believe everyone has right to use this app in their own language to explore its full potential but only with your help, it is possible.
[Android Apps and Games] j.g:
can you add a function to disable the integrated chat? I will open on click on the ChatHead open the Messanger.
[Android Apps and Games] Sadychu:
Any chance this will work with messenger lite on pre-nougat devices?
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
If you want to open native messenger, there is already shortcut given at second icon to top right side of Chathead.

Unfortunately, it depends on facebook developers to implement notification reply for previous android versions to make it work.
[Android Apps and Games] j.g:
Yes i have See that. Can you add this function directly for optinal use? :o

Can you add online contact toast feature to some apps like whatsapp messenger

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
I just came to realize my app supports Instagram reply for a long time on Android N and above. How come no one mentioned it before? I really need to get phone which has at least Android Nougat. I am missing out the features which even the me as a developer doesn't know but the users are enjoying it.
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
You're already two Android versions behind.....for a Dev......that's crazy
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Yeah, I know. Blame LG for not releasing update for Nougat on G4 and locking the bootloaders. I was thinking to wait a bit before I buy new device but seems like there is no other option now.
[Android Apps and Games] PowerHero:
When i get bubble messages like from whatsapp and open whatsapp app from your app and answer and close the app and the bubble everyrhing is ok until i get new messages again from the same contact before i see that the bubble contain just the new message and not the replies that i did fron the main whatsapp

Conclusion :your app remember just the messages were sent insde the app not the message sent from the official app.

You should solve that because what would be important if we have to open the official app just the read all the conversation

Hope i was clear

[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
If that was possible, I would have done that since the first version. Unfortunately it isn't, my app doesn't directly interact with any messenger app, it just displays android notifications on Chat bubbles. Privacy issues and lack of Android official API to interact with messengers limit me so.
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Just another reason to buy a phone which is fully unlockable. It's one of the reasons I only considered buying either OnePlus or Google phone. OnePlus even honors warranty on rooted/modded phones.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
I upgraded to G4 considering it was one of the best when it launched and assumed it will have active development on XDA, boy was I wrong. I should have researched and checked its forum before buying. I am doing thorough research next time, will probably look to buy OnePlus.
[Android Apps and Games] markS991:
Pretty cool...can you add in wechat as well?
[Android Apps and Games] BraianV:
On oreo (not sure if in nougat happens too), when using messengers app (Googles, whatsapp, etc) whenever a message comes, a headups appear with the message and you can answer that message from there.

Using directchats, i get 2 notification of the same message (headups and bubble from directchat)
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
You can disable Headsup in Oreo if you wish. I don't know the exact place to find this option but just google, disable headsup or peeking in Android Oreo.
[Android Apps and Games] PowerHero:
I just notice recently i get the message doubled frequently and sometimes i get the bubble notification but missed messages

I'm on android 6.0 with the v1.5.6 of the app

With the previous version didn't face this issues

Envoyé de mon SM-G955F en utilisant Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Yes, I changed the approach to get notification for exact timestamp when the message received so I was afraid this would happen. Can you name me the messenger you're using so I can work on fix asap?

Anyways, I have a good news and bad news. I finally installed Nougat so messenger support list is going to increase but the bad news is my device started having battery issues even before I started flashing procedure. It now shuts down the moment it is unplugged so I will have to wait for new battery to arrive which hopefully will fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Update

Instagram is officially supported in latest update and my phone motherboard has been damaged.
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Would love to see Google Voice text messages official support too. Currently everything works proper except when receiving mass text messages....I get separate bubbles (one for each person who responded).
[Android Apps and Games] PowerHero:
It always happens to me using whatsapp messenger

Don't know about other apps
[Android Apps and Games] WW3:
Agreed, Google voice support would be nice.
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
I remember the Dev said there were very similar issues with Hangouts and he solved the problem...... hopefully, he can use the same solution to quickly solve the problem with Google Voice mass-texts
[Android Apps and Games] LovreDr:
This app is getting better and better even though it was perfect few updates ago (speaking for myself). Great and responsive developer, keep it up!

Btw I was just testing something and found out "Test ChatHead" is actually CleverBot, spent full hour talking to it, revived old memories, nice touch :)
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
V1.6.1

- Added support for Google Voice (Thanks [MENTION=2638236]Stupifier[/MENTION]), YAATA

- Fixed Android Messages Group Chat and Images

- Bug Fixes

Please mail me with screenshot of conversation that have duplicates.

Glad, someone finally noticed the easter egg.
[Android Apps and Games] PowerHero:
Thank you keep up the good work

I will get you the screenshots soon

I see that samsung system message app not supported yet I get the bubbles and the messages but can't answer via the bubble
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Glad I could help.... I'm just happy Google Voice now works properly in DirectChat when I receive Group Texts. It is no longer a giant chat head-ache hehehe
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
When I receive messages, the chat bubble icon usually is the first letter of the person who sent the message....Can we make it the first TWO letters? Or an option to do this?

I only ask because sometimes I see the chat bubble pop up, I click it, and forget to glance at the full contact name....So I might send wrong message to someone. I guess I have too many contact which all start with the same letter.

Update: It would appear DirectChat is likely not responsible for this..... DirectChat just grabs the icon from the actually chat app notification I would imagine. So this would be the chat app's doing (Google Voice). Disregard my request
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Your assumption is right. When there is no icon found, DirectChat actually creates own icon of name with first 5-6 letters. But in your case, it is just fetching Google Voice icon.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
[V1.6.4 Update 20/11] This update adds dedicated Themes Section with live preview to make it easier to use with WYSWYG format.

[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Bug report. If a chat head is open and positioned to the upper right, rotate screen display to landscape, then re-orient to portrait, the chat head does not return to upper-right location.
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Should be fixed now.

[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Confirmed Landscape Bubble Placement bug fixed. Thanks!

New Request:

The Filter Chat Containing/Starting/Ending Feature..........Please support multiple words/phrases (comma separated or some other separation characters). For example, I would very much like to filter chats containing any of the following words: "code, password, secret". Currently, I believe your Filter feature only supports filtering a single word/phrase.

Also, I believe your Filter features are case-sensitive....am I right?

Thanks again.

Hi, Samsung S7 Edge not rooted, latest update installed.

I have installed and using your lovely application.

1 question: image and video sent can't be seen or Samsung is blocking to show?

Does it support TABLET MESSENGER? I’m using tablet messanger on my android watch for WhatsApp. Liked to be able to view and respond to chat heads.
[Android Apps and Games] sarahperry:
great information

nice information, i wanna try it :D
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Hey, long time.... But just wanted to mention. Your latest update broke Google Voice chat head. When I receive a message, I get a force close from Direct Chat and no bubble. I then tried clearing app data for direct chat completely.

After that, I no longer get Direct Chat force close when receiving message.... but I do not get a chance to bubble at all.

Chat Head with fine for other apps... Just not Google Voice
[Android Apps and Games] PowerHero:
[MENTION=4080142]Gurjot95[/MENTION] sometimes text dont appears altought the bubble is appearing.don't know why?

may be it has something with the android webview or the google security patch perhaps.

didn't face that before till the last two android webview and security patch updates.

i'm on android 8.0 and september security patch with the last directchat pro purchased
[Android Apps and Games] otonieru:
am on latest webview beta and on 5 november security patch and the buble work just fine,

must be something else. Did you allow preview on the setting ?
[Android Apps and Games] PowerHero:
thanks

the bubble works fine but frequently the text inside the bubble dont appear not the previews
[Android Apps and Games] ontwykende:
Let's revive this old theme. There seems to be no comments for long time, so here we are in 2021 with the new version of Android. As far as I can see the app is regularly updated which is good. I find otlut that this app is great , it is even better than the native bubble notification in Android 11 (especially considering that for me the new bubble notificstion only works for the Textra app).

Unfortunately I can only use "test head" because the application itself does not work for me.

System overlay permission is granted as well as the notification, and I can "play" with test head without problem, but actual notification from any app (viber, telegram, signal, gmail, textra) doesn't show ever.

So, can anyone here help me with this fantastic app to make it work on my phone in real life?

I use OnePlus 7t (OOS , latest Android 11... O2_beta-01), and raly like this idea.
[Android Apps and Games] grappapapa:
I'd say there's no point in this. The developer hasn't been active on the forum since 2019 it seems. The android app has not been updated for a while, and while having switched to a subscription based payment method, and offering a "key" for previously paid users, the developer does not respond to emails requesting said key (with the transaction number as verification).

So, imho, this has been deserted by the developer, maybe generating income from people installing and paying for a service not being updated anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] ibchh01:
Is there a comparable app which works with Android 12?
[Android Apps and Games] lostwer:
My main device is a Galaxy S5 running Nougat, the system overlay permission is granted like the notification, and I can create a test head without problem, idk what's happening, may a incompatibility with nougat?
[Android Apps and Games] dasti555:
You are God! I was looking for this for years. Thank you so much! I hope you will support it for long time and thanks xda for sharing!

Anyway is there possibility maybe make that chat head little but bigger? (any custom settings)

And any special settings I need to do? Like should I disable something?
[Android Apps and Games] gella1992:
Not working on Elephone p9000 running Android 7 :(
[Android Apps and Games] nightfireblaze8:
Would it be possible to add an option to change the animation for opening the chat head? I really liked the way Messenger handled it.
[Android Apps and Games] otonieru:
Already go for PRO. Been waiting for something like this from the app maker themself (line, wa, etc), ends up it's XDA again that brought up the feature, LoL. Hope it can buy you coffee or something, hahaha

Great work [MENTION=4080142]Gurjot95[/MENTION] !!

Btw, is it possible to separate 2 bubble location when there's more than 1 app have notifications ?

Now if there is whatsapp and line notif coming together, the bubble is overlapping each other.

Another thing i notice is, the badge number is not increasing despite the conversation build up. It stay at number 1

Is this an expected behaviour ? Or is it possible to improve it or maybe an option to disable badge number altogether :)

Anyway, thank you for this !!

can you add BBM also?
[Android Apps and Games] George35000vr:
Would love to see support for Discord
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Great app, just a few comments.

1. For some reason, Hangouts seems permanently Checked/Enabled in the "Configure Apps" window. When I uncheck it, I back out and return back into the "Configure Apps" window only to see it checked again.

2. Default Support for Google Voice app would be excellent for those of us which use Google Phone Numbers....Google has been pulling everyone away from Hangouts for the past few months now and that app is being directed towards Enterprise/Business use soon. The only alternative for Google Phone Numbers is Google Voice app. Google Voice app recently had a giant makeover as well and it much more modern looking
[Android Apps and Games] ticktock666:
Can't find the app on the store, any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
Well first of all, thanks a ton to XDA for featuring this. I have been trying to get attention for this app since I put a lot of work into it and spent countless nights on it. It's hard already for new developers to come into crowd and make a big mark where new apps gets hidden in just few mins and loses all their potential on the way but XDA has again come to rescue. You have been helping new developers since the beginning and my respect for you has just been increased to top of sky which is exactly what I am feeling right now. Thanks so much guys for the exposure! :)

I am looking for this issue already. I have another user helping me out already on this. If you wish to help me troubleshoot, please shoot me mail at contact@uniquegem.net.

I will as it always has been for my previous apps/themes. Thank you! Regarding customizing chat head sizes, this coming very soon in future updates along with tons of new features. Just stay tuned.

Seems like some devices with Nougat are having issues using my app. Please email me at the above address so I can help you more. I am all pumped up right now to resort the bugs at earliest and continue with new features.

I will take another look at that. If you mean bouncing animation when chat window opens then yes I have already planned that.

Cheers man! Your guys support is my motivation to continue with this development and add new features frequently. I have been searching hard and dry to find some kind of motivation and XDA has been savior as usual.

The idea behind creating only bubble for notifications for is so that it doesn't clutter your screen when there are spam of notifications in quick time. Regarding the badge number, I have already taken note of that issue.

Try adding custom apps in Configure apps option and select the app you want. I have tested custom apps option for Gmail, YAATA, Chomp SMS and they are working fine. That's what makes my app unique. If BBM or Discord supports reply functionality, it will appear in ChatHeads otherwise you can use it to read notifications too.

1. Will take another look on it.

2. Refer to my above comment regarding adding your own custom app. If it supports reply functionality only then I will be able to support it by default.

Google Play Link
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
I'm not sure how to directly verify if Google Voice supports reply functionality but I believe it DOES. When I receive a message, I click on the notification and am taken straight into a window where I can reply to the message.......
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
When you go to app configure option, tap Add button at the top right and select Google Voice and enable it. Now wait for new notifications and see if reply button appears in ChatHeads.
[Android Apps and Games] dasti555:
Now I realized that for whatsapp it isn't working.. Or maybe I did something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] Gurjot95:
I am already on it. Seems to be WhatsApp only issue with some of the Nougat devices. I will release update tomorrow if everything goes alright. Other Messengers are working well though.
[Android Apps and Games] loco-cork:
On Whatsapp it only shows the last message of the conversation.
[Android Apps and Games] Balino:
It's not working on my 3t
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Yes, there is a reply button in the lower right corner of the chat head window for Google Voice messages.

Does this mean you can make Google Voice on the list of defaults available?
[Android Apps and Games] ticktock666:
Any chance of you releasing the app on the xda labs platform? That would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] doctor-adayum:
Thanks so much for making this, it looks great - could you add support for Facebook Messenger lite and Android messages? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] thebonx:
could you add option to show chat in fixable (smaller) dimension instead of almost full screen? (like notifly does) thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Idiosyncratinom:
At least with the demo chat head, it takes about a second for it to remove when dragged to the X.

WeChat support would be awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
I would rather say it as a excellent piece of software and a very careful and intelligent assessment of the current scenario of chatting has made it very successful in terms of productivity and .

But I have a suggestion that please try to add the double tick and the blue tick feature of the WhatsApp about whether the recipient is receiving the message or not so that it would completely eliminate the need of the user to go back to the application and check the same

I would say that you made very good start this application and you have miles to go.

Keep it up and give developing apps like this.
