2014-10-27 Long (and overdue) update supporting KitKat and later.
I'm amazed that even newer devices running KitKat with lots of RAM (Samsung Galaxy S3!) suffer from the bug!!
****
Hi,
there have been rumors of Gingerbread losing some SMS messages and -guess what- they weren't rumors at all. :| There's a real bug somewhere in the SMS/MMS app for Gingerbread so that if it gets killed due to low RAM, it doesn't store the SMS and you lose it without even knowing it was received. And as people asked me to support FroYo and Eclair, it looks like the bug is more widespread than initially thought...
This is especially true on devices with low RAM to start with, as my poor and loved G1.
Worry no more, until Google fixes the issue (and somebody pushes it to your cooked ROM) I have made this app. It's just meant to be a workaround and what does it do?
This app listens for incoming SMSs, saves them as fast as it can in an internal database (not the INBOX) and shows a notification. In order to be fast, no contact name lookup is done in before the notification: as soon as the message is received, it's saved as-is.
If you receive a notification from this app, but not from the stock SMS/MMS app (screenshot #2), open the activity, read your lost message and -if you wish- you can move it to your INBOX to store it or reply to it.
If you don't want to move it to the INBOX or if the stock SMS/MMS app didn't lose the message (screenshot #1 and... good for you, by the way!), you can safely delete it from the internal database: no message from the INBOX is EVER deleted.
If this app helps you recover a precious message you didn't want lost, consider a small donation as a token of appreciation
Translations: thanks to GetLocalization.com, translating the app is now easy and doesn't require any technical skill. Their web interface allows you to translate even just parts of the app. Want to see Ghostly SMS in your own language? Now you can.
Permissions:
- SMS permissions are needed to write to the INBOX.
- Read contacts is needed to show the contact name in the list.
- Vibrating is needed to... vibrate on SMS received.
- Internet/Network is needed to show Ads. No other network communication is done.
- Billing permission is needed for donations. Donations will unlock two optional features (Remove Ads and Use delayed notification) and will increase your karma.
The app can be downloaded for free from Google Play.
Compatibility with other messaging apps
There are some messaging apps which can automatically disable Ghostly SMS (or any other SMS receiving app, such as alarm receivers and so on).
If you use Go SMS! Pro make sure that you leave the following option UNCHECKED: Settings > Receive settings > Disable other message notification
If you use Handcent SMS, update to 4.6.3 (or above) and then go to Settings -> Application Settings -> Lower Priority. Make sure it is CHECKED.
Delayed Notification HOWTO
If you enable this option, when a SMS is received, Ghostly will save it in its internal DB, then it will wait as may seconds as you set up the "Delay (in seconds)" value. The default is 20 seconds, it should be enough for almost everybody but you can try and increase it as you see fit.
Once the delay is over, Ghostly will search the INBOX for a message from the same address and with almost the same "sent date". It will broaden the search with the value set up as "Time accuracy (in milliseconds)". 500 ms should be enough, but you can try increasing it if you keep getting double notifications. On my Desire Z running CyanogenMod 7.0 I need 1200 ms.
Why is a "accuracy" needed? Because (sadly) Android doesn't use the sent-date to store the message, but the local time/date when the SMS/MMS app processed the message. This means some kind of tolerance is needed.
If you enable the "Use sent date" in Ghostly SMS and in the stock SMS app, you should not need accuracy at all. Only do it if your SMS app has the option to save the "message sent date". Enable the GMT correction if you see a date which is wrong exactly the amount of hours you differ from GMT (only if your stock SMS app does the same!).
Donations
Since 1.12, Ghostly supports In-app donations. If you donate, you will unlock two optional features (read above for details). Once you click on an icon, you'll be prompted w/ the classic Android Market interface where you can choose to confirm or refuse the donation.
This way, once you donate, the features will be unlocked forever, even if you wipe your phone, since they'll be tied to your Android Market account. Just open the main screen, hit MENU and select "Donations". The app will synchronize with the Market and restore your donation information.
Thank you!

Thank you might. Do you think the ad's will slow the app down so it could possibly lose messages, too?
The beta version you posted within the eZGinger thread worked very well for me up to now, testing your new version from now on.

Absolutely NOT!
It would mean shooting myself in the foot, since I use the same version that's in the market.
Ads are shown only in the screen you use to check/read the messages. It's the same reason that contact name lookup is done there but not on the notification (although the code allows to safely put it there too...)

While writing this very message I lost an SMS! Luckily the app caught it. Now I've seen that there's a "bug" with long messages, which the stock app merges into one, while my app keeps split. I've looked at the code of the stock app, at the SDK and I don't think I can add it without big changes in the code that I don't like (those very changes, not big changes in general).
Please ignore - I was using an outdated version
New release on the Market.

Is the problem with the lost sms only in the stock sms app?

I thought that the bug was introduced with Gingerbread (hence the name of the app) but I see that half of the market downloads come from FroYo ROMs... which puzzles me, since I've set API 9 as the minimum supported API. How can they download it?
Are you sure you are suffering from the same bug?
This poses an even bigger problem: how do I rename this app if I add support for FroYo?

I just tried your app and it really works! I had the problem with receiving messages in stock froyo.
But I have 2 questions.
When I receive sms when my sms app works fine I have two notifications in status bar. One from stock sms app, one from your app. Is it possible to notify that my sms was recovered only when my sms app has been killed due to low free ram?
There should be only one notification. From sms app or your app. Depending which app received message.
Second question is why don't you just modify android sms application if you know where is the problem and how to resolve that?

Unfortunately it's not possible, because of how Android handles notifications. Every messaging app is called at the same time (more or less) and no app knows the existence of the others. The only way to show a single notification is to "steal" the SMS so that the Stock app never receives it. I'd never do that.

Because then I could not put ads there! Seriously: fixing the issue in the stock app requires a lot of work, with no way to know if Google will accept the changes. And that would be a waste of time. I hope they do fix the bug themselves, then I'll retire the app

They will not fix the bug themselves. They didn't fix that in 2.1. They didn't fix that in 2.2. They even didn't fix that in 2.3...
Fix this issue in stock app, add your ads and then throw it to the market!
yeah this would be awesome. Maybe you could fix it in Cyanogenmod repos.

Are you sure about that? Do you have any proof? Don't get me wrong, I am not picking on you, it's that roalex's COS (Cyanogenmod Open Source) ROM suffers from the bug. So if CM has fixed it, it should be fixed in COS too.

i didnt include it. i`ll see what i can do next week.
Is this based on your update to DannyDroid's MIUI version or Galnet? And what's the difference anyway?
Which MIUI-flavor would you recommend in terms of stability and speed?
Thanks for your hard work - good to see new dev's working on the stone!
it is based on miuiandroid version with the usual improvements (ext2, for example.).
i thought of using galnet version but since miui is a closed source, galnet can`t really do much with it. and, it comes with unnecessary apps.
anyway, i`m still new to this and i hope to improve with each version
thanks do you how to enable 5 point multitouch in miui?
another question for hardware keyboard, when i press alt+g its output is "-" not "%",same for all others, can u fix this?
nim, why don't you combine your ROM with hebmiui ROM?
it could be very helpfull
or at least explain to us how do you app2ext on miui, I couldn't make it, thats why I'm using your ROM, wich is very good btw!
Checking the new one for few days and will reply. seems nice and smooth!
Just flashed this ROM today because i wanna try out something new
first, i'm very impressed by its speed. though it's by no mean as fast as CM7 and FM, it is fast for a MIUI rom. The horrible lags that pretty much killed MIUI for me are not there (or maybe there but are subdued somewhat). So if super high speed is not one of your concern, you can flash this rom for a change
Other than that, I will have to further test it and see how. it's not laggy so much as to push me back to my CM nandroid :x

I ws hoping I could get some help on editing my MMS app to get rid of the contact sillouette. Its very ugly and was wondering if any of you chaps could spare the time. Also if possible I would love for the text to be the green the app mostly is. Contact name, number, call icon, attachment icon, text and date.

I got it all change but a few things Contact name above text area with phone number, call, "Messaging" in convo veiw and attach icons.
I can decompile it but I've never done it before so any hints, like that i need to recolor, would be helpful.
thanks

Do a Google search for 'cm10 MMS no contact pictures' of course if your on cm10. It should be the first link from xda. I downloaded the themed MMS and put it in system/apps renamed it fix permissions and works great. Just have to redo it every time I update a nightly

Hi Everyone
This is Praveen from India, I'm using SmoothieICS v1, built by Brahmnoor, on my galaxy S+ works awesome. Many thanks to Brahmnoor for it!!
I've one question - call log is not continuous for a contact. For example call log for today is displayed separately from yesterday's call log. is there a way to fix this and have all the call log a particular contact at one go? is there a app I can use?
I'll really appreciate any response.
-Praveen
There are many apps to replace contacts.
Check out go contacts or contacts +.
There are many, search it on Playstore and find the one you like.
They come with their own logs and dialer, so your problem might not exist there.
Have you already tried checking the settings of the stock app? May be there is a setting to enable full call logging.

IT'S WHAT YOU MAKE OUT OF IT!
Are you missing Toggles like Data - Network Booster - Wifi Hotspot?
It is pretty easy to do -just follow these steps:
Before we begin, I am not responsible for who is president - who is running for president - or what happens on your phone. If you decide to do this and your phone blows up and nuclear war begins - it's not my fault.
First - ROOT your Device - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/development/dev-pre-root-firmware-twrp-testing-t3183877
Next you wil need an ap like SQL Lite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor&hl=en
OPen SQL Lite -
CLick FIles (along the top of the screen)
Click Data
Click Data again
Click Com.Android.Provider.Settings
CLick DataBases
Click Settings
CLick System
Look for Notification_Panel_Active_App_List - There are two that look very similar - do NOT select the one that ends with ...for_Reset
Click on Notification_Panel_Active_App_List - it may take several clicks - sometimes a whole bunch of clicks until it recognizes and is obviously selected - once it is selected (it will be highlighted in grey) Click the Pencil in the top menu or edit (depending on the ap you are using)
Now - click your cursor so it is at the very end of the last entry - it will end with a semi colin, something like this: WiFi; make sure there is no space between the last semi-colin and the cursor - now enter the toggle names you want to add - there are a bunch that are missing - but the ones I use the most are:
WiFiHotspot;NetworkBooster;MobileData:
I have seen a bunch of other toggles added - but I honestly don't know what their names are - I only ever add the three you see above.
Always put a semi-colin between the names of the toggles - use the exact letters I have written here - CASE SENSITIVE _ so write it exactly like I have here - and always make sure there is a semi-colin at the end of the last toggle you enter. NO SPACES between toggle names -
Here is a screen shot of what it should like when you finish: View attachment 3452849
After you have added your toggles - click save - reboot and you will see the toggles in notification area - you can them move them around to put the ones you want where you want them.
Hope this is helpful -
I did not figure this out on my own - I read about it a very long time ago - can't even remember who did it first - someone with a lot more knowledge than I have - but I has bee very useful when I find certain toggles missing.
Good Luck!
I got the same advice for my S6 Edge, but it wasn't working (changes weren't applied) so if you are one of those unlucky users try also with a very handy app available on the Play Store called QuickPanel Manager.
It works also with other Samsung devices other than the Note 5 and the S6/S6 Edge (got the torch back on my S4 LTE+).
Ok I found the mistake in the op. At the end of your 3-items that you end you've put a : when it needed to be a ; just wanted to point that out as it's the reason that after following these instructions 2 of the 3 show but the mobile data doesn't. Other than that great instructions.
