MMS Problem Resurrection v1.8.1

Hi all,

I've been using Resurrection since the early days of ICS but over the past couple of updates i've noticed MMS problems following clean installs.

attempted telephony.db move/delete no joy.

APN's are all correct, tried deleting... adding, resetting to defaults.

Any ideas guys?

You're also complaining about things on AOSP roms (saw you on Slim Rom and another). So basically there is not satisfying for EVERYONE.

No matter the ROM you get... AOKP, AOSP, Official from Samsung - there will ALWAYS be bugs, etc. I have an iPhone too (as well as some friends)... and it's also buggy - in fact, more so.

You just gotta find different things that work for YOU with the LEAST amount of bugs for the use you like - I hope you do.

***Take note, I also prefer another ROM now, as I find it smoother for my type of use (for time being) - but it has some bugs too.

Hey ernest

Just a tip.

Why not flashin a stock sammy rom (or/and wanam) and over that an ics theme like domination?:)

RR's style toggles in the status bar (the ones on the screenshot) are a deal breaker :D I so love them + I really like ROM settings: screen brightness/temperature modes and so on. Good idea, but 4.0.3 is buggy as hell for my usage.

Yes, true. I was on the Slim thread. However, the last time I used that ROM was maybe a month ago or so. I found its approach too "trimming". I understand the situation about bugs and catering for everyone is impossible. For now I am staying with this ROM. The reason I complain is that I noticed that with availability of new features AOKP and CM bring, core functionality of official ROMs suffers drastically. Instead of adding, they also remove lots of nice, useful and accustomed to features.

My phone is now more stable then It was on samsungs bloatware filled piece of crap called ICS 4.03.. where it sounded if I was talking from the inside of a barrel!

Customization is what makes custom roms great! No phone look alike.. and that is the 'problem' with custom roms, since some people get problems others can't duplicate even by jumping on thier phone.

If I had this phone as a 'workphone', I would never dream of getting a custom rom for it! (And I would never dream of getting a job in the first place)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
You could try replace your current MMS.apk with this one https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B50FBi5Vve3lOXZDbDZYYkdBaG8 remember give the permissions rw-r--r-- and then reboot
[Galaxy S II Android Development] EARNEST_EU:
I agree with you on the customization and bloatware points. I changed so many ROMs. My favorite is RR now. However, I am still in search for "the one" :) This ROM is good, but not perfect for me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cyberboob:
Yeah... I think in some ways AOKP is better, but also not than AOSP. Perhaps it's just people got used to the AOSP apps, etc. But I think things can only improve as there seems to be more team development with AOKP now.

At any rate, phones usually have a life-span of 2yrs now lol, but Jelly Bean coming later.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] EARNEST_EU:
I am new to the Android arena, but is it me or it is really the case that AOKP team is more "active" lately, compared to the CM team?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Imagine if the creativity on these boards would be assisting samsung for a week or two, an you'd end up with ICS 4.05 by then :)

But here we are, the ones who reject their slowmotion progress, and prefer to support the devs with support and some money, to get the best experience out of our phones, and the best support! (Gabo!)

I contacted samsung once..about the ugly swipe to unlock message on the lockscreen (since the lockscreen was all that made the phone feel 'mine') and a few days later, I got the answer "No it's not possible to remove that"

Thats the day I rooted my phone and then ended up here!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
The developing of CM it's a little more slower because they create much of the code and add new features, the AOKP team works over AOSP code and i'm not saying that they not create but i think modify much more than create

Guys I am not able to mount external SD card on "Mass Storage" mode. Can you please help me out.. how to do so ?? I have read the FAQs but didn't found any solution !!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gundalbert:
Hi,

I reworked the app, so that one can show it to the public ;-)

So, if you want to give it a try, feel free to download it.

Instructions:

a) You need root to use it

b) Install the apk

c) start the application by hand (it is named RemountSD, you will find it in the app drawer) and grant root privileges to it

d) That's it. From now on it will become active as soon as the sdcard is mounted and check if the external_sd should/can be moved.

Till now I had no problems at all, but I guess I didn't test everything ;-)

Thanx to Talbred for testing.

Regards gundalbert
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
The easiest way is to use MTP (>stoarge>left button usb connection to your computer>MTP) but it's for getting screenshots out of the phone..that says 0kb.. move them to someplace on internal Sdcard, and do it over MTP mode. )or mail it to yourself)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] danchitu86:
Great ROM, but I have two questions:

1. Can I change the order of apps in drawer as I like, not by title, install date or mostry used?

2. I can't enable "driving mode" as it was on stock rom for S2. I like the phone to say the callers name when it rings. I've tried some apps in the market, but didn't work good. Is there a solution?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
Actually i found something yesterday and one user that ask me about a mod to enable the noise supression it's testing, when he tell me how works then we know :D

You can test the app of gundalbert ;)

Thanks for your contribution mate, i'm add your post to the FAQ :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
1. not sure phone on charging atm (EDIT-> can't find a way to do it)

2. If you mean the phone talks back to you, I'll check when charging is done (EDIT-> can't find a way to do it)

2½. My phone always Shows caller name!? Do you have the name in contacts?

Sorry I couldn't be of any help :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
1.- I'm test on Nova Launcher and i can't find any feature to do that, the most that you cand do it's create folders and order this one's

2.- You want the Google Car apk? / As pigmachine says to me appears the name too, your contacts are fine?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] EARNEST_EU:
You better be!!! :D Joking :p

Feature number 2 is really good. I would like to have it to; it would be very useful for my morning runs
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
On #2 if it is just the carhomegoogle.apk you're looking for here it is http://www.mediafire.com/?ccoze0ygd9cycz6 But not sure it works on this version.. be sure to make a backup.. (there must be a reason it's been taken away from the RR latest incarnations) but I guess it's the 'phone talking back to you while your in your car' from stock that you want.

I take no responsibility if your phone gets messed up by the install!

I usually have all the 'phone talks to me' and 'me talking to the phone' stuff frozen, so it shuts up and do what it does best.. being a good phone! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
Yes, that's because i'm asking before of give the apk :P The last version of RR with that app i think was 1.4 so, really make your backup! :D

Hi you could use tasker an create an appropriate profile for this.

You can find tasker here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=de (not free)

A quite similar smaple profile is located here:

http://tasker.wikidot.com/readsmswhileincardock

This will read all sms received while docked loud, including sender name. This can be adjusted to what you need (and auto answer the call after telling you who it is ;-)

Hi guys I install the 1.8.1 everything was fine until I cannot log in my facebook and google play, can do over wifi but no with my data plan all the aplications work fine in 3G net only those two are failing, can someone help me here? I install the 1.8.1 following the short installation process.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yeeahnick:
Is this app suppose to mount my external_sd to my PC????
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gundalbert:
I just did the following:

If wifi gets connected: say "wifi connected"

And it worked, so there should be no reason, why reading a sms should not work.

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

No, it checks whether /mnt/emmc is mounted and if /mnt/sdcard/external_sd is NOT mounted, if both applies to "true" it does the remount.

If you start the app by hand, it tells you what it did, could you give me the output?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
So you went from 1.7 to 1.81? never heard the facebook problem before, but for the google play, try to delete the account you have on the phone and re-enter it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gundalbert:
Not quite...

The initial intent is another one, but I just realized, that i can now access my external SD on my PC in the Folder "external_sd" of my internal SC card.

Yes, something like that. Original rom for i9100 has a driving mode options and there I can chose to "say caller name" when the phone rings. Applications in market for this didn't work well.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yeeahnick:
okay i got it working, when i go in my file explorer emmc is empty and external_sd shows what it should. However, since i installed the apk i cannot access my internal or external sd on my computer. The USB Mass Storage is just looping
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gundalbert:
Did it work before the installation?

You can get back to the original state by uninstalling the app and do a reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yeeahnick:
i lost access to both internal and external sd card on computer after installing your app =( USB Mass Storage is broken

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

well internal sd worked on computer before yes. now its not. Also i noticed when mass storage is trying to mount to PC your app keeps requesting SuperSU permission.

Really minor bug!

In my phonenumber >settings>about phone my number is still one digit off, 08 instead of 07. Just cosmetic, but curious whats sets it off?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yeeahnick:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] RealPariah:
I ran across the following web surfing, and thought it could possibly be used to generate a fix for what you guys seem to experience (I find I have enough internal storage for me and use wifi and dropbox so I don't find a need to USB connect to my computer really at all) just thought it may help, I also read a thread somewhere on XDA about reinstalling MTP drivers in windows when you are experiencing problems awhile back.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] yeeahnick:
Thanks, but MTP works fine, its USB Mass Storage i want to fix :P I understand that MTP is a better way of transfering files since its not unmounting the sd card from the phone, BUT i find that mass storage is much faster to transfer the files, especially for example if i cut paste a file from the internal sd to a different location on the internal sd.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
How many downloads of the 1.81 rom mirrors do you have? (just to get a feeling on how many actual users of the current rom we have)

351 here (and I myself downloaded the 1.8 for use on my phone) seems pretty low, but I were just a mirror, not OP.

On the next release I'm willing to take up mirroring from the start, I have a few e-mail adresses I don't use so we can punish them hard :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RealPariah:
I can throw a legit mirror together which has "unlimited" storage and bandwidth (shared host so there are some limits), but I can host one more developer prolly if needed.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] gundalbert:
Mass storage never worked for me, so I didn't test this.

Thanks for reporting, I will have a look at this.

By the way, I never said how I do it is a good solution, it's a dirty hack.

If you for example open a shell and enter set, you will still see "SECONDARY_STORAGE='/mnt/emmc'". This is part of the init script which get replaced with the original one's from the boot.img, so adjusting won't help and I don't want to mess around with that ;-)

For me it works with MTP, if you can live with that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RealPariah:
Per that Android proper did away with mass storage after 2.3.x builds in favor of MTP only (article explains a little long I know but good)

We still have it yes, but better way may be to get both mounted via MTP to machinea (not offer a solution, just some information I thought may help I don't use external sd do can't even try to work on this myself)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Frozenthunder:
For me mass storage also doesn't work propably. I am unable to mount the SD card, only internal mass storage will appear. This also didn't work on 1.4.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RealPariah:
Did you look in /sdcard for external_sd (or in mounted storage on computer look is external_sd there) there or just separately? Just curious

Basically, that article says to mount sd you have to unmount on phone well if OS did that with manufacturers moving to single storage solutions (see nexus) mass footage can't unmount what system is using that would be bad. So instead MTP allows viewing storage in multiple places in parallel without interruption. Since it is newer though older apps looking for sdcard the old way or windows (or other OSes) trying to read it that way well not be able to after 2.3.x and instead have to use MTP.

Since there are sometimes issues with MTP in different oses (or even maybe in Android somehow or another) you may have to address that and it may work.

Is what I boiled it down to.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] tigiy:
For the people who want mass storage and show there the external sd you can install "Multi Mount SD-card" for the market.

There is a lite version that does the job.

Thanks to MyLifeRocks10 who came up with this idea!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] EARNEST_EU:
It takes time getting used to the "original" standard, where the mnt/emmc is your external drive. Samsung followed the KISS approach, and many got used to it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gundalbert:
I just tried this.

I uninstalled remountSD, rebootet, now my external_sd was back to /mnt/emmc.

Then I switched to mass storage, I cannot access both cards from my PC.

I tried the same with remountSd installed, same result.

But...

No toasts telling me, that remountSD is requiring superuser permissions as you reported. So I guess I cannot investigate any further.

But I have a hint: remountSD listens for android mount intents and then starts working.

if you are getting a lot of messages for aquiring root, it seems your SD is "bouncing" umount, mount, unmount, mount, ...

No help so far, but maybe something to grasp?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RealPariah:
Well if it is a matter of having to just have to create the original directory as link to new mount you can do that in terminal.

something like what's here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/creating-soft-link-or-symbolic-link/

Just prolly need to su to be safe and run ln in terminal.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] RealPariah:
Well the way I am hearing people is they expect /sdcard to be external storage when it's

/sdcard/external_sd now.

Some seem to have the storage not connecting to computer but again now instead of two mounts (1 for each) that should also now be one drive shows up on computer, but inside that should have external_sd

if I could get those checked by those reporting issues so we get a clearer picture please I think it may help.
