Can you still send message with stock message app?

Doesn't seem to work with stock messaging on S3 for me thus far. Seems to work ok for Call Log.

Do you use other SMS apps, such as Go SMS Pro or SMS Popup?

Want to report a few bugs:

1. After using it for a while, app appears on the recent apps list.
2. App can be accessed from play store.
3. Most of the time the notification check box in settings doesn't stick.

That's it so far. Great job on the app!

I was waiting for a trusted app like this and it seems very smooth and stable.... Thanks Alot

its has all the features I wanted, especially restore to stock apps

I wish if you could add backup to file or export to file like an html file with same layout as the app and custom notifications. Also, What phone are you using I like your statusbar icons

Thanks Again

Hi to all,

Maybe I misunderstand the purpose of this app or its not working as intended.
I just tried calling from one of my phones to my nexus 4 and ive entered that number that I'm calling from to the list of contacts so that it wouldn't show. However:
1. The app actually allows the incoming call to be displayed. Maybe that's intended but I was thinking it would just give you information of whatever you configured it to say. Let's say I configured it to say "app update" but instead of that I'm getting normal phonecall and number is displayed.
2. The number is actually visible in notification menu and plus it shows additional icon of "app update". However when you press on the number on the notification menu it will take you to the app.
3. Yes the call doesn't show in call log.

Apart from that UI is very well done. But I'm not sure if its intended behaviour or I'm missing something. Let's say I didn't want someone to see who's calling me and instead her a notification of whatever I assigned to it. Not sure if I expressed myself clear but it's early version so maybe more features will come.
Thanks to dev

Could you try to disable SMS popup and see if it works?

Hi to all,

For an incoming call, you will see caller's number, name (if it's in your phone book), picture (if it's in your phone book).
If you don't want to show name/picture, just remove it out from your phone book
If you want to show "app update", please rename that contact in your phone book to "app update".

Sorry that Shady Contacts does not modify your phone book in that way

2. The number is actually visible in notification menu and plus it shows additional icon of "app update". However when you press on the number on the notification menu it will take you to the app.

The app should have another option to either do nothing or open Shady Contacts or open whatever app. I added this in my new feature request list

3. Yes the call doesn't show in call log.

Thank you.
