It doesn't work!

Before submitting a bug report, please make sure you've checked all of these things. Less time spent dealing with non-existent bugs equals more time spent developing new features. Thanks :-)

Xposed framework

This should be obvious, but NekoSMS requires the Xposed framework to function correctly. If you don't have Xposed installed, there is absolutely zero chance that this app will work. Also, make sure you've enabled the module in the Xposed Installer and rebooted your phone.

Task killers

If you are using any task killer/freezer apps (Greenify, ForceStopGB a.k.a 阻止运行, etc), you must whitelist NekoSMS. This is because the Xposed module needs to load the filter rules from the app's database, which many task killers block. Don't worry, this app doesn't run any background services.

Note that OxygenOS includes a built-in task killer, so if you are using a OnePlus device, make sure to check there too.

Other Xposed modules

Try disabling all other Xposed modules and trying again. If the problem goes away, there's an incompatibility with another module.

Unsupported ROM

Since Google is frequently changing the SMS handling code, the module might break on a new version of Android. Also, there is the possibility that your ROM has modified the SMS code as well. Currently, NekoSMS officially supports Android versions 4.4 through 7.1. Android 8.0 is not officially supported yet, but it might work anyways. Android 4.3 and below is not supported.

Buggy code

Nobody is perfect. Please submit a bug report if none of the other problems apply to you. Remember to include your device info and your Xposed logs (Xposed Installer -> Logs -> Menu -> Save to SD card).
