Hi, love the project
I was wondering if there is any chance you could produce a flatpak to make it easier to install on Linux?
Thanks
As the title says . . . The Messages mobile app is missing (removed?) the option to scan a QR code for pairing. It directs you to visit "messages.google.com" from your desktop browser.
Hey,
Here is a simple shortcut for those of you who wish to have the app in your launcher and/or favorites.
Create and open the shortcut file
nano ~/.local/share/applications/Android-Messages.desktop
Put this inside
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0.0
Name=Android Messages
Comment=Send and recieve messages from your Android Phone
Keywords=Message;Messaging;Android;SMS
Exec=/path/to/installfolder/android-messages
Icon=/path/to/installfolder/resources/app/icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Internet;Application;
StartupWMClass=android-messages-nativefier-f3cfa3
Be sure to replace /path/to/installfolder/
with your actual installation folder
Android Messages should appear along your other native apps
I attached screenshots of what happens...it'll go to https://a-znachrichten.com/ (or a-znachrichten )
then it'll redirect to whatever website I'm on and have a weird URL (i.e., flowerandgardenideas.com).
Based on these threads, it appears to be your plugin:
This just started a month ago. Any idea why?
Setting the program to Dark Mode looks great, except that the title-bar is bright white while inactive. For me it's dark when active. Setting it so that the color doesn't change and remains dark would be nice.
Have been getting an Old Build Detected error on my Mac for awhile. I know that #40 describes a similar issue for Windows. I have just been checking back in to see if the build has been updated for a month or so, but hadn't seen it updated or reported, so I figured I'd log an issue. Thanks so much for this great work!
This started just recently so i haven't figured out if it was something that i did on my computer or not just yet. But when i try to open the android messages.exe app it opens the window like its going to work and then all i get is the window says "Please update your browser" with other stuff stating that i'm using an out of date browser. I have verified that ALL of my browsers are up to date so i'm not sure how to resolve this. Here is an image of what i see when i try to open the app. Hopefully i can get it resolved because i love this app and use it daily.
When using the version that's able to be minimized to the tray, the app is there but the icon is invisible.
Using Windows 10 Pro x64, I've extracted the tray version and it seems to run fine but it doesn't close to the system tray like it's supposed to.
Given Nativefier's "warning on builds older than 60 days" threshold, automatically releases becomes even more improtant.
We need to set up a GitHub action to automatically build the releases and update GitHub with the changes.
Now that Google Fi voicemail are available would it be possible to add a download button to client? This currently isn't available though the Google Messages website but the MP3 file is likely hidden in that source code ready to scrap.
Installed from pacman, app works well but no tray icon
Sadly its that time again where the app needs to be updated.
Please and thank you.
If you provide instructions on how i am more than willing to keep it going
Step 2 of the Notifictions on Windows directions is not up to date. There is no "setting for 'Show notifications in action center'". If there is it is not searchable. What is the new equivalent to this step in order to enable notifications?
The google voice web interface is extremely similar to android message's. Any chance of gvoice support?
Hey great idea with this app! Is there any way I can run it in the background on startup on my Mac like the iMessage app for Mac?
Thanks!
If I understand it correctly, the engine is chromium.
Since Chromium is by now deemed susceptible to hacking attacks, I would suggest transferring to another more secure engine.
It would be great to have an indication of how many unread messages I have in the app tray.
The app is connecting ok and can even send messages but it's not displaying text for any of the messages
Would it be possible to host .deb installation files for Ubuntu please?
google-messages-linux_v1.4.0.zip does not minimize to tray in Manjaro
Did I miss something?
The Android Messages tray tool correctly shows in the Windows Tray but it's icon is missing. This is with either small or normal Taskbar size set. This is Windows 10 1903 fully patched x64.
Hi,
I'm not able to install the Windows version, I get an error when running the nativefiler Windows install. Here are the results of the two installs:

I'm running Windows 10 Version 10.0.18362 Build 18362
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

would it be possible to add native arm support on macOS please ?
New -Old issue : "Old version detected". It took almost a year, but I got the message again (Win ver)
It DOES operate very well on Win 11 - for interested parties..
A few days ago I started getting a popup when I open the app that says:
"Old build detected - This app was built a long time ago. Nativefier uses the Chrome browser (through Electron), and is insecure to keep using an old version of it. Please upgrade Nativefier and rebuild this app."
The issue may have started after upgrading Google4 Chrome to version 108.0.5359.99. I've observed it on two computers running Windows 10 Pro 22H2.
If I click "OK" the app works fine but I am concerned about it being "insecure".
Windows 10 april update. I don't get any notifications from the app,
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all of your support, downloads, issue requests, and feedback! This project was originally built to solve a personal problem that I experienced and I'm glad to see that it's also been helping others in similar situations.
I am opening up this separate ticket to request some help with the maintenance of this project. I have been unable to keep up with all my projects and have neglected some of my other popular ones (to the point where I get pinged regularly to address them). As a result, I am humbly asking for the help of the open source community to help grow this project even further. I will be sure to include credits.
I will still be available to help review, approve, and merge any PR's. A lot has been going on in my life (professionally and personally) and I unfortunately do not have the extra bandwidth to investigate all of the requests/issues.
Thank you for your patience and continued use! Feel free to use this thread if you have any specific questions.
Hi,
Thanks for the great app and I have a suggestion.
For the tray version can we have an option/argument that will start the app minimized to the system tray. Would be very cool !
TIA
Any chance you can upload this application to the Windows Store?
After scanning my Windows 10 machine for large files I noticed Android Messages.exe
was near the top of the list. This was very surprising so I referenced the filesize against your latest release which I was using and while the Android Messages.exe
in your repo shows 67.9 MB
my version reports `95.2 MB'.
The file size seems larger than it should be for starters. This is a chat program with no design elements. Why is it 67 MBs?
Is there any reason the exe file should be growing in size?
Is there a switch to send to start the tray program minimized?
If you don't have the internet connection and open the app, it will display the no internet warning, when you connect to the internet the app should try to auto-reconnect so we won't have to close the app and re-open it to get it working.
I'm using Macbook pro early 2015 and macOS Sierra.
Steps to reproduce:
Proposed solution
Set up a time interval to try to reconnect to the web server/service.
Old build warnings showed up on my screen, so rebuilt file in forked version in my user area.
Please find files here
The icon in the non-tray app looks like the standard messenger icon. It would be nice if the tray version had this icon. Thanks
The google messages doesn't appear anywhere in my settings to allow me to turn on notifications. I'm using the updated zips and I tried with both the tray and non tray versions of the program
When trying to use the quick command npm run windows
I am getting the error npm ERR! missing script: windows
Icon in task tray is completely transparent, no icon whatsoever
Looking at the locales folder, the icon.ico is still in there and it looks fine
Im on windows 1903
It would be really helpful to sign the app that is available messagesfordesktop.com so that people can install this easily in environments that require all apps to be signed.
