Floating messages - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I noticed some roms have this feature. How do I go about installing it? I want to add it to my stock rooted rom.
I was able to add multi user through build.prop.
I'm hoping floating messages is the same

Chompsms - Cannot find font

For whatever reason my chomp constantly fc'd when opening a message.
I have reinstalled it and my backup is corrupt.
When im trying to customize it now, searching for custom fonts, it used to come up with a package called "Market" with a nice font I used.
I now cannot locate this at all. It was teh Storopia font.
I am not rooted, can anyone tell me a way of being able to locate this font again so I can use it in my messaging?
Thanks for your time.

Multi user crash on custom 4.4.2 roms (CM11, Omnirom)

Hello,
I've tried both nightly and snapshot versions of CM11 on my Nexus 10. I have also tried the nightly version of Omnirom.
All gave me problems with multi users: I've created 2 more users (one normal, one restricted), but when I tried to switch to one of the users, I got error messages of system apps crashing - launcher crashed, system UI crashed, etc.
Multi user work fine on stock 4.4.2 rom (rooted), I've also tried the deodexed stock rom published here, and it also work. But for some reason it doesn't work for me on CM11 or Omnirom...
Is this a known issue? Is there something I can do in order to make it work?
Can someone who uses these roms test it and tell me if you also have issues with multi users?
Any help would be appreciated!

I was testing earlier today on last night's CM11 and had errors. The issue was a missing part of the commit on proper security labeling of multi-user data directories. It should be fixed in tonight's release but you will likely have to delete the users you added.

Thank you very much! I will be waiting for the fix.
Meanwhile I have opened a JIRA on CM website:
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-3783

Hi,
I've just checked with the latest nightly (cm-11-20140328-NIGHTLY-manta), and the problem is still there.
I tried to create a restricted profile/user, and got an error message and freeze. I can't get to home screen on that user.
I did full wipe before installing this version.
I wanted to add some additional settings that may be helpful with the multi-user experience. As described at http://www.pocketables.com/2013/03/how-to-enable-multiple-user-mode-on-cyanogenmod-10-1-and-some-other-android-4-2-2-roms.html, the user there needed to add a couple settings to build.prop:
fw.max_users=8
lockscreen.rot_override=true
The first apparently helps with enabling multiple user (like with showing the users menu under Settings). The second makes it so the lockscreen can rotate to landscape mode, as only in landscape mode (at least for phones) only in landscape mode are the users shown.
If the builds automated getting these properties (or programmatic equivalents thereof) then it would avoid the need to hack them in.
I still don't know whether this is all that is needed though. I just installed cm-11-20140329-NIGHTLY-toro.zip to my old Galaxy Nexus and it didn't have the main fix, so when I create a Restricted User, the user must go through the whole Cyanogenmod setup, and at the end I get "Unfortunately, Cyanogenmod Account has stopped." as described in the Jira issue.

For a restricted user you have to turn a launcher on in the settings for the user.

Thanks very much! I went into the settings for the restricted profile, and enabled the "*HPROF" app as you mentioned on the JIRA page, and the profile now loads.
Well...I spoke too soon, it seems. The Restricted User does not gain access to any apps after first login; I can install new apps on my regular User account and then give the Restricted User access, but when I actually log in with the Restricted User, they don't show up in the apps listing. It does gain access to apps that I give it access to prior to first login though. This unfortunately makes the Restricted User feature useless to me in CM11.
I was going to submit a bug in JIRA, but I'm using a nightly build (I had initially installed it hoping it would have better multi-user support) and they don't accept bug reports from there.
Looks like I may need to downgrade to stable if I want to actually submit a bug, but at any rate, for now it's on here.

There is no point in opening a new JIRA anyway, since there is already the JIRA I've opened (see the link above) on this subject. I took the effort to install snapshot version...
So please comment to this JIRA with what you wrote here, to give more information to the dev team about this bug. Hopefully they will fix all related issues to multi user on CM11.

This just requires a slight change to Trebuchet so that it loads the updated app list when a restricted user logs in. I am attaching an apk with the change to load the app list if you want to test.
Hi,
Can you please write it in the JIRA? So CM dev team would implement your solution for future releases?

My apologies for not knowing how to do this, but I get the App Not Installed error: An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed.
I looked this up and the general recommendation for most apps seems to be to uninstall and then install the new one. Given that I'm actively using the launcher I would replace, this seems like a dangerous idea and I don't want to brick the phone. What alternatives are there? Switch to another launcher temporarily, then uninstall Trebuchet, and then install and switch over to your updated version? Or does it involve ADB? I haven't used ADB since I had a G1, so I've had a long time to forget whatever I once knew there.

FWIW, I switched launchers and the other launcher I tried had no issues here. I am not able to simply remove the original Trebuchet though. At least the other launcher seems to work in this regard though.

[Q] MMS pictures/group text not working with Goldeneye KK 4.4.2 v 29

Hi,
I recently installed Goldeneye KK 4.4.2 v 29 ROM on my phone and love it. After about a week of use, I tried to send a group text message through the stock messaging app. It failed to send. I switched to SMS on Hangouts and it still didn't send the MMS. After doing some searching, I saw that Goldeneye ROM has disabled SMS 2 MMS but didn't see any specific solutions in the thread. My understanding was that the SMS 2 MMS was disabled in order to prevent messages with emojis from converting to MMS. So my questions are then:
Was this feature just an apk in the original stock ROM? If it was just an apk, is it possible to reactivate this SMS 2 MMS feature by manually installing the correct apk? Or was it disabled in some more in depth altering of the stock ROM? I have tried installing some stock MMS.apk files but ended up getting "x App not installed".
If there isn't a simple apk or other fix, are there any specific MMS apps to send with?
I also uninstalled a few of the Samsung features with Titanium backup. They all seemed like extraneous features, but are any Samsung applications responsible for allowing MMS sending that I might have uninstalled?
Should I just use a different ROM?
Thanks for any help!
Just changed to Skyfall ROM.

Is it possible to add users to stock samsung rom?

Since adding multiple device users is a feature from stock android, is it possible that Samsung has just hidden it?
Since Nova launcher has the feature to create apps and settings shortcut, is it possible to find the hidden setting through this?
Or is this a CSC type feature that cannot be activated through this method?
I tried digging around in it, but couldn't find anything.
Or is there a non-root method (maybe via ADB) to activate this?

if you're referring to multiple profiles, then I think that samsung has disabled that. it can be enabled by editing the build.prop (requires root, of course) or by flashing another ROM.

[Q] Bubble air sms messages in Oreo

Hey, is there default SMS bubbles in Oreo? I installed Superman rom and saw something but then reinstalled again and I saw this no more.
I do not mean yellow round SMS bubble but something more in Oreo style. It seemed to be integral option of the system but now can't find option for that.
one more looking for that, a zip flashible file could be nice
