Trinity Android

----This build currentlt has a lot of issues, may or may not be fixed in the future---- "The answer is out there, Neo."

Custom Matrix chat client for Android, built as a fork of SchildiChat Next which itself is based on Element X Android.

Features

Trinity adds the following customizations:

Double-Tap to React

Double-tap any message to instantly send a 👍 reaction, inspired by iMessage and Instagram. The reaction emoji is configurable in settings.

Messenger-Style Bubble UI

Facebook Messenger-inspired chat bubbles with:

  • Gradient backgrounds on sent messages (changes with theme)
  • Light grey backgrounds on received messages
  • Rounded bubble shapes with tail pointers on the last message in a group
  • Tight message grouping

Tenor GIF Picker

Built-in GIF search powered by Tenor. GIFs are sent as m.image events so they display inline on bridged clients (Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.).

4 Switchable Themes

  • Messenger Blue — Blue-to-purple gradient (default)
  • Cyber Purple — Deep violet and electric purple
  • Matrix Green — Dark green/black
  • Ember — Warm red/orange

Composite Group Avatars

For bridged group chats (e.g., Facebook Messenger groups) that don't have an assigned photo, Trinity automatically generates a 2×2 grid mosaic from member profile photos.

Network Indicator Badges

Small colored badges on room avatars showing which messaging network the chat is bridged from (Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, SMS, etc.).

Swipe Gestures

  • Swipe right to reply (inherited from Element X)
  • Swipe left to open context menu

Inherited from SchildiChat Next

  • Spaces navigation with swipe
  • Bridge icons in chat list
  • Custom bubble colors
  • URL previews
  • Configurable room sorting
  • And much more...
