i need batch delete function, it's hard to delete a set of messages.
QKSMS - Beautiful SMS app
- Thread starter junglebungle
- Start date
I love the app.
Just a few bugs: MMS consisting of a picture and a text message are shown twice (and probably created twice in the database since the stock app displays them twice aswell).
I get only phone numbers in the notification panel, not names.
Is it possible to change the icon? I see a nice red icon on some screenshots. I'd love a more minimalist icon, either without text or with just a smiley "
" like on the stock Jelly Bean app.

What I Like:
- Material Design look is great. I like that you used the Material Color Palette as well.
- Fast & Simple. A HUGE plus for me when it comes to an MMS app.
- The appearance customization is perfect. It provides users with a nice amount of customization without getting too overwhelming. Sometimes, too many options are a bad thing.
- The Ability to choose or create my own custom vibration pattern. This is another feature that is almost a must have when it comes to messaging apps. The default vibration pattern is extremely close to, if not identical to, the Facebook Messenger vibration pattern. I don't really tend to Facebook Messenger notifications as urgently as I do text messages, so I've caught myself ignoring text messages with my gf a few times and that's a bad thing haha.
- The ability to add a picture or video to a message I've already typed. The Send button replaces the attach button after you type anything in, so If I begin to type my message BEFORE I want to send a picture I have to cut the text out, choose a picture and then paste the text back in. A bit annoying, but I can get used to this.
Bugs / Problems I've encountered:
- When first installing the app, it was unable to set my Sprint APN, which I had to enter manually. No big deal, but I thought that was weird.
- Sometimes the wrong contact picture will appear next to the person that I'm currently conversing with. The contact picture usually is the picture of the person that I was talking to previously. Ex. If I were talking to Bob, and then Alice texts me and I go to reply to Alice's text, her picture would appear as Bob's contact picture, even though I'm speaking to Alice. I've had this happen several times, but I am unable to repetitively reproduce this issue.
- Sometimes the contact pictures of several contacts in the Conversation List will be incorrect or swapped with other contacts. I've had this happen several times, but I am unable to repetitively reproduce this issue.
- Random crashes. Usually happens when I unlock the phone
- Sometimes conversations appear completely empty, even though they aren't. This seems to happen randomly, although I've noticed that this happens most commonly when waking up the phone after it goes to sleep with the app still open. Screenshot:

I really like this messaging app, but sending MMS has been impossible whether on data or wifi. It just hangs and shows "sending" until I just end up deleting. Went back to stock android app, and MMS sends just fine. I paid for the + version, but there is still a problem with this functionality.
If and when this gets fixed, I'll be back.

any chance for contact-specific ringtones? that's the one major item stopping me from using this appThanks for sharing my app! If anyone has any questions then I would be happy to answer
also on my wishlist: contact-specific colors (like in googles new messaging app), contact-specific notification light color
Nice

If I open an incoming SMS still remains as "unread". I need to manually longpress on sms then select "mark as read". Fixes?
The app looks great. I especially like the option to change the overall color :good:. It is very smooth and fast, no noticeable lag until now.
Bugs I've noticed so far:
Bugs I've noticed so far:
- the context is not saved when you switch for portrait to landscape or viceversa: if you write something in the message text box and change the orientation the text is lost
- the pictures are displayed only for the contacts that I've manually set; no picture is displayed for the contacts that have pictures synced from facebook
I just installed this after it showed up on F-Droid and while it looks nice it still doesn't have option for selecting SIM nor is that issue listed on QKSMS's Github page.
Even though it doesn't look like it here, there still appears to be some dev activity on it over there and it's GPL-licenced so that's always a positive.
Hi all
A important question, does qksms not allow landscape mode writing?
Iam on lollipop stock android but I can't write a SMS in landscape. Because I can't see what I'm writing in landscape!
I will add a picture;
Thank you for helping!
I like qksms, but it seems quiet buggy?

2nd Sim slot
Hi OP,
Nice app. Since its open source, I'll continue to use it in order to show support !
I just have two points for you:
1. It seems the app still hasnt got dual sim support. I HIGHLY advise that you get it built in. Most of the phones in eastern countries have dual sims. It is almost a necessity in the app.
Its high time now.
2. Secondly, i'm facing an issue. I don't have 2 SIMs in my phone, but i do have 2 slots. When i insert SIMin first slot, the app works fine. When i insert the SIM in the 2nd slot, message sending fails.
Can anybody help me resolve this ?

36Beautiful SMS app which in in beta, I am using it now as my daily sms app and I love it!
https://plus.google.com/communities/1135486234341895418239
Please use the app for more than 6 seconds before you say something like that.
One of the first options in the settings is to disable the ads. For free.
I'm not even charging anything to use the app, it shouldn't matter that it's in "beta". There are apps in the Play Store that are far more incomplete than mine, but I'm calling it beta because I have higher standards for what I am releasing, and so people can try it and give feedback before it has been perfected.
Please, for your own good, try to lose some that sense of entitlement that you have. The world will be a happier place, I promise.6Great app
Some emoji and smile are missing....but I hope it will come in the next versions
@Dev.if you need input....you can use "8sms" from the store as template....
Select more conversations to delet......that's would be also a great option.....
Cheers
Recently I've actually been looking into the Android source code to help me make the app more efficient (that's what 8sms is based on )

Woah, big comment. Thanks for taking the time!
I'll answer each point in order
Minor issues
- That's correct. I understand that it can be annoying if you just want to check out the app, so I'm going to be making a less intrusive way of asking the user. Right now it's just a placeholder
- That delay with black just due to some performance issues, and it's not setting the colour quick enough. It's something I need to work on, and I plan on spending a lot of time on performance soon
- Right no there is no MMS / Group messaging, so you can only have on recipient. Within the next week or two, regardless if group texting is done or not, I'll add a way for you to just send the message to multiple people separately, but at the same time
- If you go into the conversation and click on a message to view the details, does it show the number correctly?
- I believe it's an OS thing. I'm not sure if I can style that myself, but I will look into it
Feature Requests
- Already planning on it. I often have to use someone else's app to back up my SMS, so I figured I might as well make it part of QKSMS I'm not sure yet whether I'm going to make this option free though. I might bundle it under the "$1 to remove ads". I definitely won't make it a separate purchase though.
- Planning on it!
- ^
- Later on, I've got some ideas that I want to implement for security. They are not going to be my main focus for a little while though, I doubt they will before the app is fully launched
- I was playing around with it and it was causing issues for the sliding panels, so I put it on hold for a little while. Once I'm done with some of the bigger stuff, I will spend some time and get it to work properly
- I'll be adding something like that soon. Right now if you want to see contact details, you can click on their picture in the conversation list
- Batch selection is another thing I'd like to add, after swipe to delete/archive6
You're exactly right.
I'm still a student, in my last few weeks of high school now. Most of the time that I'm not spending studying for my exams or finishing up assignments, I'm working on QKSMS. I even quit my part-time job so that I could focus on the app more, especially once my exams are over, during the summer.
I'm hoping to have a fully polished app with more features ready before I start university, that way I can spend as much time as I need to in order to make the app better, but I don't need to worry about always being ready to fix major bugs as soon as they arise. Hopefully that doesn't happen too often once I leave the testing phase
