Shady currently supports mms photo filtering. In the main settings turn on experimental filtering using the option. If your Shady contact receives an mms photo message, and the download of the photo completes, the image will be completely filtered. Give the experimental feature a try, and expect much progress in future updates.

I have an excellent timeline planned for better mms support. After the new code, that I have in mind, is implemented there will be only one hitch, mms photo download failure. If your mms photo download fails the mms message will remain in your inbox until the image is downloaded. Once the image is downloaded the mms will immediately disappear. The new code will use a content observer waiting for the image part, of the mms message, to complete downloading. Once complete the currently existing filter code will be used to extract the image, save the image to Shady, and then filter the mms from the regular inbox.

The currently existing code is quite functional and will effectively extract images from mms messages. Video is another story There are two things that are inhibiting Shady’s progress. The time I have available because of my 11 hour day job, and the download quantity. Shady is simply not being downloaded enough to encourage me to work overtime on the app. With only a handful of downloads a day it is not a serious income producer. Hopefully as popularity builds, downloads will increase, and I will have more encouragement to work harder on the app.

Comments are a big encourager. The better my comments, and stars the more good feelings I have about the app. You’d be surprised, when I get a 1 star comment I will leave the app for a day or longer. Negative comments really are detrimental to Shady’s progress
