odex. Just copy it with root explorer and paste it into /system/app

Backup your previous Mms.apk too
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] officiallyme:
it seems to work but the shortcut on my homescreen has disappeared.

i used to have 4 symbols at the bottom, one of which the mms.apk, but that's gone now. any way to get it back?

i renamed both the mms.apk and the mms.odex to *.bak. was that wrong? should the mms.odex remain as was?

p.s.: deleting your modified version and renaming the originals back did not get me the shortcut back :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
Try rebooting.

worked for me

Hi, just one question,

Does this one have "sent time" fix as well?

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] officiallyme:
did you delete anything else?

did you rename the mms.odex?

or just renamed the mms.apk and copied the one supplied here? i rebooted 4-5 times now and still nothing. changed permissions and owner. still nothing :(

edit:

solved it! manually re-added the new mms.apk to the dock and now have it all working again. thank you very, very much!

and no, this version just has the mms converting and contacts fix. and that's better that way because the time stamp fix seems to be buggy for some people ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 11768:
No. I only no convert and limitless contact as said by officiallyme.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 0355:
On stock odexed KI8, I would like to have the MMS.apk for it but with time fix (I know there's one here 'round but only with limits on contacts and SMS number removed).

Can anyone help, please?

just a Q: i don't understand what data we should erase ... someone can tell me what i need to do? TIA
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Netskyliner:

still 10 contacts limit.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 0355:
Anyone still there?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] officiallyme:
weird.

anybody else have the problem, that after a few hundred letters the app just crashes?

try copy and pasting or writing a text with 2300 letters. maybe the limit is 2000, i do not know, but my app always crashes when i try to copy the text or write a text with that amount of letters.

would be interesting to know if anybody else has this problem?

Well I've managed to get the 200 user and MMS conversion limit working by doing that. At first I was also experiencing the same problem using muveszur's original MMS mod.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] officiallyme:
ok, there is a built in 2000 character limit in the stock app. could someone check that out?

handcent etc. are capable of creating unlimited sms but the stock app will always cut out at around 14 sms (2000 characters if i am not mistaken).

the stock app will ALWAYS crash even with the modifications in this thread. maybe someone knows why?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] officiallyme:
i know there is a version in this thread, but the version seems broken.

would somebody please please post me a new build (odex) of the KI3 stock app without the mms conversion? that's the only fix i need :(

Hi all,

how can I disable auto-convert SMS to MMS in XILA2 rom? I can't find "/res/xml/mms_config.xml". Help me, please.. :confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] grgsiocl:
you need to decompile the apk using apktool, then you will find that xml file

feel helped! Press Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] officiallyme:
but then how do you get it to work on the stock images? i.e. properly odex-ing it back?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rajarshi10:
Can anyone modify this to work on ODEXED roms? Like on stock rom?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] officiallyme:
the problem is, that you need to do this for every single release.

some are available in this thread.

but even those sometimes don't work properly.

the one for the KI3 crashes during sms 14
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HTCDevil:
Mod for XILA2 Deodex/Odex

Did it for XILA2 Deodex.

It works also with Odex version (i have tried), but you have to delete from system/app mms.apk and mms.odex first. Replace, then reboot your phone.

Don't forget to delete datas in settings> application > twlauncher.

See you. ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] officiallyme:
what did you change?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HTCDevil:
Recipient Address (200) + Sent Time + No mms after 3 sms (but 200)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] officiallyme:
tried it and crashes before i am able to write a sms that would equal 15-sms

just try to copy and paste some text that would fill 15sms. it will just crash
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HTCDevil:
It works for me on stock odex and deodex XILA2. Very strange. Ha ve you wiped your cache/dalvik and launcher data in settings?

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] officiallyme:
must be something in the ki3 :(

no idea why or what it is :(

do you by any chance have the same but without the time stamp change? i prefer to know when i received the sms rather than when it was sent
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vanahaim:
Same by me, no problems at all.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HTCDevil:
I have done it on XILA2 not on KI3's base.

Whatever, no problem, just attach me your native mms.apk and SystemUI.apk. ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] officiallyme:
ah, you need the systemui.apk as well? didn't know that.

attached them all. is it possible to create the mms.odex from that apk? i deleted the mms.apk and mms.odex and forgot to back up the mms.odex :(. not sure if it will work without the .odex.

your version works without the mms.odex
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rajarshi10:
Does this even work? Running DDKL1 stock rom. Wanna know if this is works or else wont take any risks :confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HTCDevil:
I need SystemUI.apk (it's not for sure but in my case "XILA2" yes) if mms.apk has dependencies...using apk manager.

I need both files deodexed from stock KI3.

You can search or extract them from a KI3 stock deodexed rom, then upload and i'll do it for you without sent time ;)

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

I can say that it works on XILA2, every build has its own mms.apk, so you have to work on it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] officiallyme:
unfortunately i have no idea where to get the deodexed versions :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HTCDevil:
See around in that section and search for KI3 stock deodex by Wanam. Then extract mms.apk and SystemUI.apk from system/app in the .zip file and upload here ;)

Just tried.

In KI3 (by Wanam) mms.apk doesn't depend on SystemUI.apk, so try to upload framework-res.apk and i'll retry with it :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] officiallyme:
i'm curious as to whether some of this is causing the sms to crash after 14 sms? because in the stock version it's the same amount of characters that limits mms as well. in stock mms are only allowed to have like 2000characters or so. at least in ki3. but in mms you get a message saying you reached the maximum mms size.

looking forward to testing your version. maybe you'll see what is limiting mms size and hence crashing sms
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HTCDevil:
In KI3 deodex mms.apk depends on twframework-res.apk.

Try that attachment and let me know. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] officiallyme:
it works as far as not converting after 3sms is concerned. but it also crashes when i create more than 14sms. just crashes.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HTCDevil:
Damn...maybe is a rom limitation that depends on another files....
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonny_ftm:

I am trying to do this on the new LPB release (stock rom).

Will this work on the stock release since it is odexed?

thanks for your help.

DT
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] d_train:
Okay, I realised the reason I don't see the smali folder is because it is still part of the odex file. but I am trying to deodex it and I am having trouble...

when I run this I get an error

java -Xmx512m -jar baksmali.jar -d ./framework -x Mms.odex

Error while loading ClassPath class Lcom/android/mms/ui/ConversationListAdapter

So what am I doing wrong?? Is there a simpler was to deodex and then odex again?

sorry but I have checkrom revolution v4 and installed this mod from the kitchen but it doesn't work. is there any solution?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] d_train:
I was using that ROM untiI I installed the ICS LPB release.

I always installed that option with checkrom and it always worked - since you are installing from their kitchen I think the question needs to be answered by them.

Otherwise you could edit the current Mms.apk from your phone manually?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iscio:
I read that many users have the same problems with checkrom. I wrote here also because I see that there is the possibility that someone try to modify the file also for kk5

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] d_train:
Because it is a non-stock ROM, you would need to supply the Mms.apk, twframework-res.apk and the framework-res.apk files for it to be checked and changed.

I was running the KK5 with the mod from the kitchen before this and it was working just fine. One way to check is to install SMS Sent Time from the market https://market.android.com/details?...SwxLDEwOSwiYXQuendlbmcuc21zc2VudHRpbWVmaXgiXQ..https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImF0Lnp3ZW5nLnNtc3NlbnR0aW1lZml4Il0.)and and it would append to the end on the text the Sent Time - that was the way I always knew it was working.

You could also try this one - it claims to resolve the issue altogether without modding the Mms.apk - https://market.android.com/details?...SwxLDEwNCwiY29tLnJlcHRpbGVzb2Z0LnN0YW1wZXIiXQ..

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iscio:

or do you mean when opening a file? if yes, the file is probably not pure xml but rather still compiled.

did you use apktool to decompile the file? or just extract the apk then edit the xml?

you have to decompile. unraring is useless. once you decompile the mms.apk properly you will be able to edit with notepad++.

I've noticed a slight bug with this mod if someone immediately responses to your text it appears above your original text. If they wait a minute before responding then it appear as normal below your original text. It's obviously due to the message server time being slightly ahead of the time on your phone.

I've not a java programmer so does anyone know if it's possible to modify the line below to add say a minute to the timestamp?

Landroid/telephony/SmsMessage;->getTimestampMillis()J

possibly like this:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Joey2o11:
I assume you mean the label change.

In the res folder you'll find a lot of folders beginning with values, one for each supported language so for German you want the values-de folder. In that folder open up strings.xml and search for received_label and change the label as shown below:

<string name="received_label">Gesendet:</string>

For English speakers there's 2 folders, values and values-en-rUS. I'm guessing the rUS folder is for US english.
