Root

I just want to mention that the app needs root rights to work with messages of WhatsApp.
But nonroot users still can use the app for sms.


Accessibility service

Some users of Samsung devices already know it.
Samsung created a bug which lets your phone talk.
(Here you can read about.)
All in all it will not be a problem, my app will tell you how to fix the bug.

Hey folks,
today i want to show my app.

The app is called Seebye Chat Heads.
It's an app in the beta state.
And the app needs root rights.
So there could be some bugs.
With the app you're able to use the chat heads functions of Facebook in WhatsApp.

I'm sorry. I'm not able to post it clickable.

[QRCODE]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seebye.chatheads[/QRCODE]


looks nice.
but, how to change icon size?

@acoongg
Go to the side menu.
There's a point in the list called icon size.
Now use two fingers to zoom, just like you zoom in and out in the gallery.

@Pos411
Thank you.
FB Messenger already supports chat heads, doesn't it?
But i thinked about integrating sms support.
So i will think about integrating more messenger.
But i haven't decided it yet.

I like your app, just hate it that i can't disable the notification, and that the order of whatsapp contact is just how i don't want them... never used on top....

It is a good idea
Appreciate your work bro!!! :) :)
Some Suggestions From my side
App is a bit slow
Chat heads are not flexible enough as in fb chat heads
No popup turns out whenever new message arrives...

I was actually just coming here to say this.. If you're interested you can add in an extension to your app, so you can take advantage of FN's chatheads and integrate the Whatsapp functionality.
PM if you're interested, you can also find the library here: https://code.google.com/p/fn-extensions-library/

Regardless though, great job. I looked into this myself and there was definitely no simple way to do it so kudos to you :)

Great APP, needs to get way more popular!

However, I have one problem: if i am typing, my keybord is above the typing area, so i can not see what i am typing.. Is that a common issue?

    I was in the mood for an update, so there aren't all features of the list integrated.
    The update will be granted by google within around two hours.
    But you can still get it from the first post.

    Changelog 2.0.25:

    - Window Animations
    - Improve Emoji-Interface
    - Emoji-Interface workable in the floating mode
    - Open Contact manually doesn't stop the app behind
    - set floating mode as default
    - Option: don't show chat heads in specific apps - fn user have to set it in fn
    - [!NOT TESTED - please give feedback] Option: move the control of the led to seebye chat heads -> only solution to fix the issue


    Still on the List:

    - !!no idea for a new design at the moment!! redesign settings
    - Option: hide automatically chat heads after a specific amount of seconds
    - Option: move the control of the sound to seebye chat heads -> no delayed reaction reaction possible with sound


    Please give me feedback to the led fix. I can't test it, because there isn't a led on my device.
