Android KitKat

In Android KitKat, several significant changes were made. Specifically, the way Android handles SMS was drastically changed. A brief list of the new framework:

  • A SMS app must be selected as the default SMS app in order to send SMS messages.
  • A message is sent from an app that is not the default SMS app it will fail silently.
  • Only 1 application on the phone can be the default SMS application
  • SMS received broadcast cannot be stopped.
  • SMS app must now also support (at least in theory) both MMS and Quick Send features

What Is Supported Right Now?

Android KitKat (4.4) is supported in v1.4.0

Android KitKat 4.4 is now supported in v1.4.0. However, MMS is not yet supported.
