@klinkdawg: temporary you could make just a file with letters that will be changed to another :) like:
ą = a
ę = e
ś = ć
ź = z
ż = z
etc :)

yes i would actually really like it if all of you gave me characters from your languages that you would like mapped, because i dont know many and i only speak english :) I did find a list of some, but I want to try and get it working well for everyone. so yes, that list is perfect and tell me some more!

Well, I would like to say that first of all you have to be able to detect the language that the keyboard is switched to. Because, for instance, Latin-character languages require a different approach from non-Latin languages. I don't know every language, but I will speak for my native one, Greek.
"Strip Unicode" for Greek language is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is those two things:
1) Capitalize every letter, for example: "αβγδ" will have to become "ΑΒΓΔ".
2) Strip any form of accentuation. for example: "δύο λέξεις" will have to become "ΔΥΟ ΛΕΞΕΙΣ" (and NOT "ΔΎΟ ΛΈΞΕΙΣ")

If you need the whole alphabet to work with, there's always wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet

p.s.: I'm still surprised that you have to do all this work by yourself. If your app is indeed based upon the CM app, it should have had all these things build in. And if not, why on earth don't you get the code from there?

its not based on any actual code from the cm app, just ideas. all of the libraries that they use to strip are internal i believe and so its easier for me to write my own instead of importing a ton of files from internal classes that arent part of the api. same thing for mms, its all internal classes and so they are much more difficult to use because it seems like there are like 20 different files that i would need to import. therefore i would rather do it this way.

Ah! my bad then...
So, it sounds that your code will be much more cleaner if you avoid importing anything.
For what it's worth, I think that your app has matured over the time and it still does with every update.
Keep up and you will have the best looking, most lightweight, messaging app on the play store...

The UI is already simple and elegant. He's already doing a great job in that regard.

well i got strip unicode working correctly for tons and tons of characters and things should be better now. you guys will all just have to let me know whether or not i missed a character and i will be able to add it very easily. Next update might be coming later today, but if not then probably saturday sometime, i want to do a couple other things still before pushing it out.

no it will no be moved back now, got too many complaints about it and it is still easily accessable at the bottom of settings. done with that feature and i wont be revisiting it.

i'm not sure what you are asking on the second one, but there is an option to be able to open to the left menu conversations list on startup in settings.


Just posted an update to bring free and paid up to the same spot bug fix wise.

got the pro version a few days ago and generally I love it,the only one gripe I have is when the keyboard is showing and you complete a message you cant press enter to send cos it aint their,its return which just moves the curser onto the next line,which means everytime you want to complete and send the message you have to press back once to close the keyboard and then press send.
cant their be a option in the settings that allows us to choose the function of the enter/return key

why can't you press the send arrow right next to the text box you are entering text into?...

I believe you can use this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters
There's HUGE list :) second column - character you need to replace with character from third column.

Assuming all goes well, it will be pushed to production after that, so sit tight :)

    - Fully themeable Hangouts UI
    - 855 new emojis from Google Hangouts (and of course you still have access to all the old ones, totaling over 1300 different emojis)
    - Ability to attach multiple images to MMS messages
    - Option to display original timestamp in messages
    - Fixed error causing some MMS messages not to be downloaded
    - Added Hangouts theme to go with Hangouts UI

    and there it is, sliding messaging now fully supports sending pictures and group messages. I've found it to be much more reliable then the stock app at it as well, i've always had problems sending mms with that app but there are none of these problems in sliding messaging.

    Guys please stop bumping yourselves. It really helps absolutely no one out. I'm very busy most of the day and cant respond to most posts, but that doesn't mean i don't read them and take them into consideration. I do, every single one of them and do my best to fix issues. Please cut it out, all youre doing is wasting space in the thread... I've seen it all and some requests I like, some I don't. Either way, thank you all for giving them, and please if i dont respond don't take it personally. I'm doing my best with the time i've got but things are getting out of control now.
