Am I missing something? I installed XHangouts, rebooted and....nothing. I can't find it anywhere...
Guys, try Haxsync https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync to automatically update Google contacts with Facebook profile pics.
Also, just received the new hangouts update today - haven't tried any mms messages, but it definitely breaks the new line option for the enter key.
You could download the latest Hangouts apk from here.It appears as if Google is doing a staged rollout of Hangouts 2.4. I have not yet received an update from the store. The general policy when it comes to apps that have Xposed mods is to avoid updating until the author confirms it works. Or make a backup, test it out, and restore if needed.

How does XHangouts behave in Vcards received via MMS? Currently when I receive (and send) a Vcard, hangouts neither doesn't let me see the content of it nor download the Vcard:
...
XHangouts shouldn't be touching vcards. Did it work previously? I didn't know Hangouts supported vcards... There's certainly no in-UI option to send them.
I witnessed this myself... friend using an iPhone sent me a vcard and since I switched to Hangouts for SMS/MMS I was not able to do anything with the vcard. Clicking it did absolutely nothing...
Thanks for the link, I just received the update last night.

no it didn't work natively afaik. i thought xhangouts maybe has such a feature since it's "MMS fixes for Google Hangouts"
Sending them may be troublesome, but opening them may be possible.
For the record, all other feature requests are on the backburner at this moment. Working on actual MMS fixes.
A lot of note-taking going on...
Is it possible to add a feature that allows you to attach a file 'AFTER' you start typing, because once you type the first character the attach file icon “?" disappears. Thanks for fixing the bugs with this great mod.

Does this solve the problem of receive MMS messages from others? I don't receive them for days sometimes. I thought it was a Hangouts problem and switched back to regular messaging app on LG G2 and still have that issue.
I wish I could use this module, but it has a weird bug for me.
When I send a text that is too long it is broken into 2 or more messages and reassembled, but now it sends the end of a random old text instead of the second half of the current text.
If I had sent "this is a text message" and it was too long, they would get "this is a textrandom message from yesterday"
As much as I like to take credit for weird bugs, I don't think XHangouts is to blame here. Currently, XHangouts only processes MMS. There is no SMS modification or handling. Is this reproducible every time even after multiple reboots both with and without XHangouts enabled in the Xposed module list?
Well, I tested it again and couldn't reproduce it at all. I didn't try with the same person, but I don't think the receiving phone would be affected by your module.
I'll test it again with the same person and see if the module makes any difference, or if I can reproduce it at all.
I assumed it was your module because I installed it and rebooted and the problem was there every time, then after disabling and rebooting it was gone.
Thanks for responding I will keep your module activated. I like what you are doing. I also would like to be able to start typing and then attach a picture.

Code:v2.3-f034154 - 07 Jan 2016 - Stable ------------ XHangouts v2.3 introduces a variety of new features, bug fixes, and most importantly support for the latest (at time of release) version of Google Hangouts. After two betas the final change log is as follows: * Support for Google Hangouts 6.1.109448852 * Google Voice MMS is now also scaled and compressed similarly to MMS. * The app color option now applies to all applicable user interface elements. * Added the ability to colorize bubble colors, some text, and hyperlink colors. * Prevent Hangouts crash when XHangouts is disabled. * Fixed message type spinner padding * Fixed a crash in the sound file chooser. * Support for Xposed for Marshmallow. * Tentative support for Xposed versions below v54 down to v42. * Attach anytime has been removed. * The Hide Emoji option has been removed. * MMS APN Splicing has been removed * Other miscellaneous improvements. A hearty thank you goes out to @ImADev, who completed the bulk of the work in this release.
Code:v2.3-beta2-c5d4cc8 - 05 Dec 2015 - Beta ------------------ This unstable release of XHangouts v2.3 includes the following changes from the first beta: * Support for only Google Hangouts 6.0.107278502 (at the time of release, this is the latest) * The Sound replacement feature is in need of testing. * MMS image resizing is back * Google Voice MMS is now also scaled and compressed similarly to carrier MMS * The interface is now entirely colorized * Compiled against Marshmallow. Should work on Xposed for Marshmallow. * MMS APN Splicing has been at least temporarily removed. * Fixed crash in the sound file chooser * A few miscellaneous other changes. A hearty *thank you* goes out to ImADev @ XDA, who completed the bulk of the work in this release. Please report any bugs or issues you encounter on GitHub or the XDA thread. If it's working perfectly for you, I don't mind hearing that either (on XDA, please)!
Code:v2.3-beta1-a008277 - 15 Aug 2015 - Beta ------------------ This unstable release of XHangouts v2.3 includes the following changes: * Support for only Google Hangouts 4.0.100406486 (not the older 4.0.100147489!) * MMS APN Splicing is in desperate need of testing in this release. If you've used this feature previously, please report back on the XDA thread with your findings. * The Sound replacement feature is also in need of testing. * Attach Anytime has been removed as it is no longer needed. * The Hide Emoji option has met a similar fate. * The Colorize / App color feature styles almost everything. Still a few assets that need to be recolored. * MMS Resizing and orientation correction has been disabled. It appears this feature is no longer needed in Hangouts 4.0. Please provide your opinions on this.
Code:v2.2-d1a4e76 - 24 Jul 2015 - Stable ------------ XHangouts v2.2 brings about three new features and a handful of bug fixes and internal improvements. Support for (only) Hangouts 3.3 continues into this release. * Customize ringtones and sounds (suggested by weaverinva @ XDA) * Disable the proximity sensor (courtesy of blackle @ GitHub) * Give yourself more room to type by hiding the emoji button (suggested by DarkKnightArtorias @ XDA) * Fewer features require a full restart of Hangouts * Additional debugging output * Resolved a potential crash in configuration loading * Code cleanup
Code:v2.1-6194515 - 18 Jun 2015 - Stable ------------ XHangouts v2.1 is a minor release that now (and only) supports Google Hangouts 3.3. Unfortunately, MMS APN Splicing has not been tested in this release as I no longer have a device that I can test it with.
Code:v2.0-11cb04c - 12 May 2015 - Stable ------------ XHangouts v2.0 is here! There's lots to look forward to in this major release: * Modular and more reliable XHangouts code structure * Improvements to the build process * Version tolerance (will no longer complain if your version is not the exact one I compiled against) * An attractive new icon! * A new material color scheme to go along with the icon * Ability to add XHangouts to your launcher (suggested by Micks29 @ GitHub) * Performance tweaks * A new quick settings menu entry for easy access to XHangouts within Google Hangouts! * Ability to long press the send button to send and lock your phone (suggested by bybenwalburn @ XDA) * All dialogs reimplemented to use modern Android APIs * A slightly less annoying "module not loaded" toast notification * A new About dialog * A license dialog * A new, much better README * APN Splicing is no longer marked as "experimental" * More information link in the APN configuration dialog * Supports Google Hangouts 3.1.89134953 (no support for 3.2 on Android 5.1)
Code:v1.8-d211fc0 - 13 Mar 2015 - Stable ------------ A quick update: * Now supports only Google Hangouts v3.0.87531466. As of release (March 13, 2015) this is the latest version of Google Hangouts. * The primary Hangouts tabs are now properly styled when using different app colors.
Code:v1.7-89feeeb - 08 Mar 2015 - Stable ------------ A major XHangouts update! New features. Fewer bugs. * Now (only) supports Google Hangouts v2.5.83281670. This is not the latest release. Google published a new version while I was working on this release of the module. You can download a copy of Hangouts 2.5.83 from APKMirror.com. It's the January 7th release. You can wait until I've added Hangouts v3.0 support but I have no timeframe to give you. The current version of Hangouts on your device can be checked by opening XHangouts and scrolling to the bottom or in your device's app settings. * Lollipop support. And a material theme (if you're on Lollipop). * The video and audio call toolbar buttons can now be hidden. Useful if you're accidentally calling people in the conversation view. * Bumped default MMS resize dimensions to 1024×1024 and quality to 80. * Colors! Not a fan of green? You're in luck. You can now switch between 23 different material color schemes in Hangouts! It's pretty attractive. See note below. * Reverted back to checkboxes in the settings. They're smaller and have a nice little animation on Lollipop. * The Twitter screenshot has been removed from the MMS type & quality dialog. Screenshot fidelity is an important advantage the improved resizing offers but the example in the dialog was not conveying that effectively enough. The best way to test the setting is by sending an image of your own choosing. As a pleasant side-effect that dialog is now a good bit faster. * Fixed a potential memory leak * Some cleaner code * One or two other minor bug fixes * Some better debug output While this is a stable release there are a few known bugs with the color schemes. Some objects are not styled correctly. These are: * The tab selection indicator on the main Hangouts conversation list view * The on-press effect on those tabs. It seems off. * Loading spinners/indicators * Text cursors * Messages you send via Hangouts (not SMS) are always green. I'll probably keep it that way. Enjoy.
Code:v1.6-ad8952a - 25 Dec 2014 - Stable ------------ This release is functionally identical to the v1.6-beta1 (yay for APN splicing!) with the follow exceptions (changes): * Support for the latest release of Google Hangouts, v2.5.81636427. * Added AT&T and Cricket APN presets (Thanks to Mike B. @ XDA) * You can now add an attachment after you've begun typing by long-pressing the smiley button. This can be enabled/disabled in settings. * The debug log is far less verbose during the splice. * One or two other little changes. * It's in the stable branch. Merry Christmas!
Code:v1.6-beta1-64ec71e - 09 Nov 2014 - Beta ------------ This beta release introduces MMS APN Splicing. It's a relatively experimental yet awesome feature that allows Hangouts to bypass the lengthy APN acquisition process in certain situations. What does this mean for you? It means when you're not on WiFi, sending and receiving MMS will be super fast and battery efficient. When you are on WiFi or your mobile network is not connected, Hangouts will go back to the default, more reliable process. This feature is off by default and must be manually enabled in the settings. Once enabled select the APN configuration option. For Verizon Wireless users, just select the Verizon preset. For everyone else you need to determine your own MMS settings. These can usually be found on Google (for example, by searching for at&t android mms apn settings) or in your device's mobile settings. Please report how well, or if, this works for you. Please note that in this version of XHangouts, when you enable debug mode, the contents of your MMS messages will be dumped to the Xposed log file to assist in beta testing. If you're sending something sensitive over MMS (which isn't the best idea anyway) make sure to at least disable debug mode or clear your Xposed log.
Code:v1.5-20d8a19 - 25 Oct 2014 - Stable ------------ Updated to work with Hangouts v2.4. Do not update if you are not yet on Hangouts v2.4. You can determine this by going to the bottom of the XHangouts settings. If you are not on v2.4 and there is an update available in the Google Play Store it is most likely 2.4 and it's safe to install it.
Code:v1.4.1-14333ba - 21 Oct 2014 - Stable ------------ This is a quick bug fix release resolving an issue with Android's SwitchPreference view being reset when it's scrolled off screen.
Code:v1.4-dfe20dd - 19 Oct 2014 - Stable ------------ You can now customize the MMS image format, compression level, and scale! Take a peek into the settings and enjoy the super snazzy new dialogs. This release should also help those plagued by "not accepted" errors.
Code:v1.3-8d33328 - 06 Oct 2014 - Stable ------------ Fixed a bug where the send enter key behavior did not work properly on (at least) the AOSP or Google keyboards. Thanks to XDA member ripv2 for reporting.
Code:v1.2-8905918 - 03 Oct 2014 - Stable ------------ Enter key behavior can now be tweaked! Check the settings page. The default action of the keyboard's enter/return key can be switched to one of the following: emoji selector (the default), newline, and send. New icon by Adrian Babilinski!
Code:v1.1-25002b0 - 29 Sep 2014 - Stable ------------ XHangouts can now be intricately configured in the new settings page! To access it go to the Modules list in the Xposed Installer and tap on the XHangouts module listing. I did not add an entry to the launcher as 1) I don't have a pretty looking icon and 2) who honestly likes Xposed module launcher clutter?
Code:v1.0-84539ab - 26 Sep 2014 - Beta ------------ Initial release.
MD5 checksums are available on the Xposed Repo.
Q: XHangouts isn't working for me. What can I do?
A: Oh dear. If you're familiar with GitHub, creating a new issue is a great option. If not, posting right in this thread isn't a bad idea either. The more information you include in your bug report the easier (and faster) it will be for me or someone else to help. What kind of info? Your Xposed log (found in the Xposed Installer), your version of Google Hangouts, your version of XHangouts and your version of Android is often enough to get started. Please be kind and courteous to anyone offering assistance.
Q: This is pretty cool stuff. How can I help?
A: If you're familiar with how the mod works feel free to support users on this thread. If you're a developer you can fork XHangouts on GitHub and submit your improvements back in! If you think I could use some caffeine there are a number of donation options (PayPal, Bitcoin, etc.) available on my profile. Thank you!
