Try Beautiful Widgets, I haven't seen that is eating to much battery or lower the performance of the phone.

The point is to remember some rules like:

1. Disable Geolocation - pick your place permanently, it will prevent data and battery usage for checking by network were you are, sepcially when you changing places a lot.

2. Do not choose to update the weather data to often (like 15min. or half an hour - I choosed every 6 hours, for me it's enough).

3. Do not use Weather Live Wallpaper it also consume battery and performance.

I hope I helped.

regards.

NEEDS ROOT

I) What it does:

- allows sending sms messages in unicode mode, which means you will be able to use up all 160 characters in single message, whether or not using specific for chosen language diacritical marks. Operation should be similar to 'GSM mode' in Samsung's default Mms app in FroYo 2.2 roms [works in all]

- removes auto-convert to mms if exceeding 480 characters (3 x sms length) [confirmed in Mms.apk and Mms v4.0.4.apk]

- no smiley on keyboard, new line support instead (thanks to mikko3024) [should work in all apks except Mms.apk and Mms v4.0.4.apk]

- a little bit bigger text message box (when it expands) so you can have a better view of your text, not much scrolling [should work in all apks except Mms.apk and Mms v4.0.4.apk]

II) When / where does it work:

- CM7 based roms - download Mms or MmsCM7.apk

- ICS 4.0.4 based roms - download Mms v4.0.4.apk, MmsICS.apk or ics_mms_160char_by_theos0o.zip

- JB - download MmsJB.apk or jb_mms_160char_by_theos0o.zip

- CM10 - download cm10_mms_160char_signed.zip or Mms_4.1.2.apk

- CM10.1 - app bundled with rom is already able to strip unicode (Mms-CM10.1.apk)

- apps are deodexed, but will work with both odexed and deodexed roms

III) How to apply:

- Backup / copy /move your original Mms.apk from system / app. If you have one you might as well backup Mms.odex. Delete them from system / app (putting deodexed = modified app in the place of both odexed .apk and .odex file works well).

- put downloaded apk in system / app

- change permissions to rw-r--r--

- rename to Mms.apk

- tick 'strip unicode' in app settings

- reboot is not necessary

All might be done using Solid Explorer / ES File Explorer / Root Explorer / ADB.

OR

- Flash .zip from recovery

IV) Disclaimer:

- Tested by me on CM7 Alpha 8 by marcellusbe with GSM / UMTS network for Polish language

- CM7 app looks no different than standard one

- ICS app should have additional option visible in app settings, didn't test it

- Feel free to report apps compatibility with different roms/languages

- More info can be found in respective original threads

what does it mean?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] szewc1:
What I meant was: if you happen to have odexed rom, just replace the .apk file, no need to move .odex one :laugh: It will work. But I agree that this sentence was somewhat confusing.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kruzyk:
Cześć,

What are the differences between MmsICS.apk (

2.05 MB

) and ics_mms_160char_by_theos0o.zip (

2.17 MB

)?

I found a bug in the version for ICS by theos0o.

When I want to send a message by going from the phone/contact app (by long press on some person card) this application (MMS apk) turns off.

In addition, it is not possible to send MMSes. Receiving MMSes works fine.

Also the sound of an incoming message is strangely quiet, even though the phone settings is OK (in the "stock" application from Vipers ROM sound was OK).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] szewc1:
No idea.

That's too many bugs to be caused by single apk IMO, something's wrong with compatibility or installation process. Try other mms apks, wiping cache/dalvik, fixing permissions, clearing app's cache / data, ultimately wiping data. Good luck.

Added fresh CM10 4.1.2 mms.apk here and in OP.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kruzyk:
I'm curious that ViperS rom is using Massage.apk not MMS.apk and this apk from Vipers rom is different than your MMS for ICS apk.

There is no bubble style, different options in config and it looks different...

Newest Vipers ROM is based on ICS but mayby mms apk was from GB?

Can someone post screenshots from GB version?

I will try to fix mismatches and perform zipalign. I already tried cleaning cache and dalvik cache and it did not help.

/edit: can I push jb or gb mms.apk into ics?

/edit2: I think that your MmsICS.apk is already from JB :) Am I wrong?

/edit3: Oh, and there is one more... I can't install apk manually... I only can flash it from zip. When I try to install it manually I'm getting info that this apk is not installed (I don't know exact translation couse I got this in Polish).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] techtechnique:
Tried all of the ICS edition versions and I'm still only getting 80 characters sending limit on my Acura ICS (4.0.4) P920.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] szewc1:
I presume you have already chosen 'strip unicode' option in app settings, provided you can see such a thing? What language are you trying to write in? This mod should work with: Greek, Czech, Spanish, French, Polish, Portuguese and Slovak. You can try and talk to theos0o in his thread.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dadi68:
what about the samsung users with stock jb rom that not contains mms.apk?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] szewc1:
Don't you have an option in message app's settings, encoding mode, sending mode or the like? GSM mode is what you should be looking for.

Hello Folks, I recently dropped my HTC INCS from my pocket to the floor , Sadly it doesnt show anything on the screen , the soft buttons light up but screen is black , it rings when calling my number
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Hey man

I remember talking to you about your emmc chip

how did that go?

Anyway on topic, does your display light up at all? As in really dark, black screen but backlight on?

Or completely off?
[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
Maybe a motherboard problem. If your under warranty send it back. If not, still send it back though you might have to pay extra.

[Android Apps and Games] monchee:
Wow! Nice app! Functional and clean UI. Looking forward to future updates :)
[Android Apps and Games] oldsap:
thanks, great app. is it possible to add an option to choose facebook group when uploading a photo?
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Yep, uploading to Groups and Events is on my todo list. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ArbiterGR:
Exporting a photo from dropbox to photup, crashes the latter. I've sent you a couple of crash reports.

I like it so far, although i wish i could just upload photos to the predifined "Mobile Uploads" album that the official facebook app uses.

This application has some potential there, keep it up :)
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Thanks, I'll get it fixed and update later.

Regarding the Mobile Uploads album, that's a special album that 3rd party albums aren't allowed to upload to.
[Android Apps and Games] oldsap:
Looking forward to the update
[Android Apps and Games] ArbiterGR:
Thanks for the reply. I'm Looking forward to the update :)
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
I've just uploaded v1.2.1 onto Google Play. It contains a fix for exporting via Dropbox, and several other force close fixes. It take a hour or so to show as an update. :cowboy:

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Unfortunately Facebook don't provide a delete photo API. If you press on an upload from the Uploads tab it should open the Facebook app at that photo. You can then delete the photo using that.

Hmm does it happen every time? The next update includes some fixes for login which might fix your problem.
[Android Apps and Games] oldsap:
thanks for the tip senab.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
v1.4 is now up on Google Play, including:

New color theme!

New – Crop Photos

New – Reset Photo option

Re-enable Facebook SSO login

Other fixes

I’m especially interested in hearing what you think of the Action Bar improvements. Thanks. :)

I'll look into this. I can't remember changing anything around this code but I'll have a look.
[Android Apps and Games] byronicman:
It's so close to being brilliant - but on my Xeperia S it has uploaded four from 12 and all the tagging/captions I've done have disappeared meaning I have to do them all over again.

Would happily donate if it was software I could rely on.

I like this app but anything uploaded doesn't show on my Facebook app. They are there and everyone else can see them, just not me.

Sent from my XperiaS via transwarp conduit.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Do they appear on facebook.com?
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
I think I've fixed this. The problem was that the connection timeouts were too low, I've bumped them and it should be fine now. Update out later today.
[Android Apps and Games] byronicman:
It would be amazing if it would remember your captions/tagging for future use in case of any connection drop-outs.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
That is planned for a future release, for now I'm going to add a 'retry' option for failed uploads which will move it back to the 'Selected' Tab.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Hmmm, I can't recreate this. I've just uploaded around 20 photos, most of them tagged and captioned and they all uploaded fine.

So did all 12 photos upload? Is the problem that some were missing tags/captions?
[Android Apps and Games] byronicman:
Well one photo uploaded twice, three uploaded normally, the rest just disappeared. The ones that uploaded were tagged and captioned correctly. Tried it again and it uploaded four out of five.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
OK that makes a bit more sense. So the rest didn't appear under the 'Uploads' Tab?
[Android Apps and Games] byronicman:
They did originally but they didn't actually upload.

It's more useful than the native Facebook app already btw - thank you for your help so far.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
OK, v1.4.1 which went up last night had a couple of fixes in this area. It now also has a 'Retry Failed' option will move failed uploads back to 'Selected' Tab ready for uploading again (including tags, caption, etc).
[Android Apps and Games] oldsap:
thank you! double uploading bug is now gone :)
[Android Apps and Games] Lolo8:
A nice feature would be the possibility to choose visible folders, without using the ".nomedia" trick. Because I don't need to upload any of my icons :)
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Nice idea. I'll add it to my list. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
v1.5 is now on the Market. Including the ability to view Photos by Albums, and lots of bug fixes.
[Android Apps and Games] Lolo8:

[Android General] LichtiMC:
Hey people...

Just wanted to post a solution to a problem apparently a lot of users are experiencing...

When you first attach your phone to the pc by USB, the drivers have to be installed. (Here is a good ressource, where you can always dowload the latest drivers extracted from the Samsung Kies Package: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1655286)

Now it could happen, that all of the drivers install successfully, but one of them, the "Samsung Mobile MTP Device", which cannot be installed, since there's always a CODE 10 (This device cannot start).

As I searched for quite a while for a working solution with no luck (there are different solutions, but none of them worked for me, as in my case it wasn't a faulty-driver problem...), i finally remembered a solution to a similiar case with a DVD-RW Drive. I tried the same process with my actual driver problem, and it worked right away... :good:

HERE's THE SOLUTION:

Go to the Registry Editor (Start --> Run --> "regedit" --> [ENTER])

Search the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\

If you click one of the few subkeys in class (e.g. {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}) you'll find the string value (Standard) on the right side with a value (e.g. DVD/CD-ROM-Drives)

You have to find the value "Portable Devices" on the string value (Standard) (In my case {EEC5AD98-8080-425f-922A-DABF3DE3F69A}, but I don't know if they are called always the same.

Once found, you see a string value called UpperFilters --> DELETE IT!

Finished! :) Now your Samsung Mobile MTP Device should be recognized and even installed correctly right away. (The name of the device changed to GT-I9100 (Devicemanager) in my case...)

Here an explanation about UpperFilters and LowerFilters if you want to know more: http://djlizard.net/2007/04/30/230/

Maybe this short tutorial can save you some time... =)

Best regards to all of you!
[Android General] Vytookas:
Not solved

No such registry subkey as "Portable Devices"

What OS U use?
[Android General] whoisrich:
Thank you for this, was trying to get a Samsung Galaxy Note to connect.

After having to manually point it to the drivers folder, they installed but would not start.

The registry keys seemed a little different to how you described, I am on Windows 7 64-bit, but found:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{EEC5AD98-8080-425F-922A-DABF3DE3F69A}\

Deleted the value "UpperFilters", plugged the USB back in, and it worked!

Now can happily sync using the Samsung Kies software.

( Note to others, backup first, right click the key tree you are editing, choose export. Run the .reg to restore any screw ups. )
[Android General] kosenn:
I gave up trying to use Kies. I am using windows 7 64. I found the correct folder but there is no value "Upper filter" showing. I also have a Philips Go Gear Muse player and It uses the Songbird software. Songbird also works with the samsung galaxy 4.2 player in mass storage mode.

Samsung MTP Driver fix

Thanks for your fix for this problem- it was driving me crazy!

I did find that the only UpperFilters key that needed to be removed was for the USBSTOR entries.

Also, I think that anyone trying this- Make a Reg backup first....

Thanks again.
[Android General] mr_ding:
Use *#7284# to enter PhoneUtil mode, Press (Qualcomm USB Settings), and change it to 'MTP + ADB' mode.

Then MTP should work fine.
[Android General] sb0:
For future reference, restoring to an older cwm backup fixed this issue for me (clean flashing to stock or to other roms DID NOT WORK). However I still do get the message from time to time...

Hope this helps!
[Android General] nathanaelb:
I've had the same problem trying to connect my S3 on Windows 7 64-bit, either with Kies installed or just as a media storage device. None of the above solutions worked for me, but then I read somewhere else on the net to use the original Samsung USB cable and that solved it - I can connect as a media storage device again!

I was using a USB cable from a 3rd party charger, not an official one. There must be something slightly different in the wiring of the proper Samsung USB cables.

Hope this helps someone.

I tried around 5 different solutions, but this fixed it. Just wow. Thanks, next time I'm not installing outdated Windows Updates (the May 2012 "driver update" was the first failure that probably started it all).
[Android General] Akwiz:
Not a regular poster and didnt read the whole thread, but I spent a lot of time trying to fix this and FINALLY got something to work. So for people looking for a solution here is what I did, was pretty simple.

FYI - I too had no upperfilters key listed

On my Sx2 hercules, I went to Settings > More > USB utilities > pressed on "Connect storage to PC"

It then said to connect USB cable. If you conncet while it says this windows will install android driver and two others, NOT the MTP driver which always fails.

After these drivers install, unplug the phone, plug it back in and turn on mass storage. Works great.

Hope this can help someone :)
