[Q] Open source android SMS apps? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to make a simple android texting app, and was wondering whether there are any open source sms apps for android I could use. I searched around and I saw a thread on another site saying GO SMS Pro was opensource, but after searching around I didnt manage to find its source code anywhere. Could someone clear this up for me? I would appreciate it if you told me about (and possibly provide a link to) android opensource SMS apps. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the tutorial link, but that wasn't what I was looking for. I was thinking more of a fully featured SMS app with easily accessible open source code

Look at the Google code for the AOSP messaging app. That is the only Open source app out. Go SMS is far from open source as are any other 3rd party apps.

Go sms pro is the best available option u can work upon !!
regarding its source code, i'll try to find and inform u abt it.....

I know I am a bit late, but SMSdroid is an open source SMS client project.
Check it out here http://code.google.com/p/websmsdroid/ and here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ub0r.android.smsdroid

Wow, hate to revive an old thread, but I'm in the same boat and would like to hear what the OP did in the end.
Here is what I'm trying to do:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/coding/web-apps/experience-sms-handling-android-t3610335
Ultimately, I want an app that could handle basic notifications from my carrier which come 1 or 2x a month, but allow all new outgoing messages to come from another app. Google Voice, in my situation, other people might want Hangouts or whatsapp or other apps to be their default for outgoing from the dialer/contact/call log screens. Problem is, in order for a app to be "default", it needs to actually have the handlers for SMS/MMS built in. I'm not saavy enough to write a while new app from scratch, was hoping to modify one enough to forward new messages using intent.

I'd like to revive this thread and find a current solution. I liked qksms but Development died about a year ago without resolving some bugs

Answering machine\Voicemail App?

Hi,
I'd like to know if there is any app around that does the work of an answering machine. An app that will probably answer the call after a specific amount of rings and save the callers' message on the SD card. This was an idea I got from a few years ago when we were discussion open software for cellphones. I'd love to know if it's already been done.
Thanks.
Anyone know of such an app?
google voice ??
I would vote for YouMail.
It actually downloads your VM messages from the "cloud" and stores them on your SD card.
It also has other nice features.
Best of all, everything is FREE!!!
I also use youmail its the best app out there for voice and its free vzw charges 2.99 for their visual voicemail.

Airvoice, but it does not work on my desire... Anyone know of anything else?
I use Hullomail.. you can tell it to use your gmail account as storage which is handy because if I miss call when I'm at my computer I can just play the message on my PC...

I haven't seen any such app yet. The apps mentioned in this thread are different.
What is asked for is a voicemail on the phone itself, not any 3rd party who stores your voicemail for you, after which you can download it.
No, what is asked for is an actual app on the phone that actually functions as a voicemail/answering machine and stores the voicemail directly on the sd card. Without redirecting the call to a 3rd party, and without requiring an internet connection anywhere in the process from accepting the voicemail to playing the voicemail.
But there is no such app, to my knowledge.

A stand-alone app like this would be pretty sweet actually. I think the phone providers would be a little ticked if someone were to write an app like this. I would buy it as i don't subscribe to an answering service on my cell (separate monthly charge for my plan.) Most of these 3rd party (cloud) services don't work in my region.

Waiting for some developer to answer our questions and explain if this is even possible or not :-s
Hi all
I'm looking now for 1 Year for this kind of answer machine.
the only one that do that is until now ---> Airvoice
But, the developer stoped developing this app since HTC Hero.
So it works only on HTC Hero.
Look at the Market for Airvoice,and send, like me, a email to the Developer. Maybe he will finaly start again developing this app!
Greetings ivifly

[Q] APP: Websms connector developer garden

Hi,
This app in the Play Store is not compatible with Android 4 ICS and apparently the developer has abandoned it. (play.google.com/store/search?q=WebSMS+Developergar)
Is there a chance that someone here can continue this project? It is a really great app (sends 10 international sms/day for free) and I don't want to miss it when upgrading.
There is also an api available from developer garden. (w w w.developergarden.com/apis/apis-sdks/send-sms/)
I would be really grateful if someone here were to take over this project!
Cheers!
P.s.: also see this thread for description of the issue: code.google.com/p/websmsdroid/issues/detail?id=635&q=ics&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Product%20Component%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars
It's sad that the developer abandoned the project. It used to work great.
However, the developergarden APIs are publicly available. When I have time, I will dig in the code, and attempt to build a little PHP script that can be used to send SMS via a browser. Once that is done, I will port the working prototype to an Android app/fix the connector.
Is there any progress with this? Would still love to use this!

[Q] GoSms limited

I've searched everywhere over the internet and found little to answer my question. I make sms themes for GoSms, right. Though the problem is that the plugin installed into the go sms program is quite limited. I saw that a theme maker was available for pc before but last information I see in its regard dated to 2012 I believe. I looked for anything from 2014 but I can't find it now for download because every link I found resulted in an empty page. Am I missing something? How are people still sharing or selling themes on the Android market with such limitations on the plugin? I can't change the default avatar pic for contacts with no pictures, I can't change the background I'd like to use for the bubble chat.. the plugin only gives me option to change the color and transparency with the only option for a background for the message list and chat conversation window. I'm quite confused here. I would love to be able to share and sell some themes but I won't do it without being able to theme Go Sms completely (as in no limitations as the plugin has). Can anyone help me with this please? Give me some insight or something. I've overly confused myself and down to wanting to give up. Any useful info is very well appreciated.
Noooby...? At least an I don't know reply is better than nothing. If nothing thanks anyway.
The reason you are not getting replies is that GOsms threads are banned from the site due to security issues.

Question about KiK messenger and notifications.

For the people that uses KiK messenger, I'm sure you've noticed that you don't get heads-up notifications and you can't expand long messages from the notification panel, either.
I'm curious whether anyone has any idea why this is? Why doesn't these features work with KiK when it works with any and every other app? I've tweeted @kik on Twitter and they didn't respond. I asked a developer of one of the modded KiK versions and he didn't answer me and even on a discord group regarding KiK modification and no one bothered to answer me. Is it some sort of secret that no one is allowed to share? Is there some reason so common that everyone knows about it and hence just don't feel like answering it? Because even Google searches doesn't bring up anything. It's like the little family secret that uncle John plays with kids and everyone knows about it, but no one talks about it.
Did you just compare an android app to incest/paedophilia?

I mean, the app itself is pretty ****ty, sure, but I didn't compare the app to that. I compared the fact that no one seems to be able to tell me why the notifications doesn't work, to that. Sort of like, everyone knows it doesn't work and potentially why it doesn't work, but no one wants to say it.

Call Blocker For Non-Rooted Phone Running Android 9.0

Hi,
I'm sure that it's probably due to the election but lately I've been getting unwanted call's from #'s that I don't recognize. There are so many call blocking app's on the play store that at least for me it's rather mind boggling to even look in there. I did perform a search here in the forum's and didn't seem to discover any real recent application's. I did find this one that's open source & seems to be updated pretty regularly: https://f-droid.org/packages/dummydomain.yetanothercallblocker/ . If anyone knows of any other app. that is worth considering please post it here in the forum's. I'm currently using this app that I did get in the play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mglab.scm&hl=en_US&gl=US .
Thanks In Advance For Any Suggestion's !
David
