ChompSMS, GoSMS, Handcent SMS
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Danny 0311:
Can the person receiving the text see the emoji, if they are using an Android phone?:fingers-crossed:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
With GoSMS yes, as long as they are using a supported messaging app with it, and with iPhone

Handcent Can be set to iPhone Or Handcent only, Chomp is Android or iPhone (User's choice)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] SacredTbag:
The only problem with these SMS apps is that they all have their own evils. You'll just have to try them all and find the one you can tolerate the most. Personally I've used Go for a loooooong time but recently ditched it because its getting so bloated with JUNK. I even have several paid themes for it.

Default ICS Sms/mms app http://www.mediafire.com/?zgxgbui8hxn74iw

Default Jelly Bean sms/mms app http://www.mediafire.com/?99hldsef9sf6ju8

Download, Either one Take the ICS_ Or JB_ Out of the name put on sd card with any root explorer go to System Then app Take the old mms app (MMS.apk) and rename to MMS.apk.old or MMS.apk.bak Then go get the one you downloaded from me and put it in that folder change permissions rw-r---r-- and reboot and enjoy ! They both have Emoji's bulit into the apps :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Danny 0311:
Thank you for your help. I don't know if this is rooting, but i'm totally lost. I need a more detailed step by step. My son is an I.T., and he'll be back from Afghanistan in Sept. If i can't figure this out, i'll ask him for help. Thanks, again.:)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
Yes, you need to be rooted and it's not much more detail than what I posted
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
The stock mms apk that comes with the phone does this too open your message app then hit the menu button and pick insert smiley
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
The stock app doesn't support Emoji's it doesn't even show them...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
hmmm does on mine
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] SacredTbag:
That doesn't look anythink like the stock sms that came with my vivid :/

Here's mine, works for me
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] SacredTbag:
Call me a noob. I dl'd the JB sms app only to find that it's already included in the virtuous inquisition rom lol.

/facepalm

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
It is just themed
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Danny 0311:
O.K. I did that, and i can see the smiley going out, but the person receiving the text only sees the message and a squiggly line.

How does this sound: I take individual pics of smilies & emojis, then put them in separate folder in picture gallery. Send out text, and attach smiley as picture. I have unlimited data plan, so SMS or MMS doesn't matter. I know that this is a workaround, but for me, it's better than screwing up my Vivid by trying to root it. Please give me some feedback on this idea. Thanks.:)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
If it works for you that all that counts just remember who you are sending them too might not have unlimited data
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Danny 0311:
Thanks. I was under the impression that only the sender of the message was charged. I also have AT&T.:confused:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
I am not entirely sure if it goes against them or just you if it is counted as data or text call att and check if you want to be sure
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
Those are regular Smiley's animated by android and your messaging app, these are Emoji's

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Danny 0311:
That's the problem. They look great going out on my phone, but the receiver doesn't see diddily on their end. My next phone will come with JB4.1 or greater, so i'll make do until then. Thanks.:crying:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
The receiver needs either A. An iPhone B. A android phone capable of seeing them (which in your case is the problem I think) tell the person to Switch sms apps to Either the ones I posted or ChompSMS,HandcentSMS,GoSMS
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Danny 0311:
One has an iPhone, so that's no problemo...The other has a T-Mobile My Touch, and that is the problem. She already has a native text app, and won't add another one. Plus i'm texting from AT&T to T-Mobile, which may also be a problem. I've been at this for about three days now, but there won't be a fourth. Thanks again, for all your help.:)

P.S. Anyone who wants to come to my house, and teach me how to root a phone, will get a nice home cooked meal. My wife is an excellent cook.:D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
PM me I can guide you to rooting any phone :)

btw take some time and convince her to switch ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Danny 0311:
If you can help me to root my Vivid, i would appreciate it. Am i correct in assuming that if my Vivid was running JB4.1, instead of ICS4.0, it would have smilies & emojis built into the O.S.?:confused:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
Depends... if a standard jelly bean messaging app was built in yeah, Yes i can help you root it... and there's no Jelly bean for the vivid
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Danny 0311:
I guess you're talking about that mediafire.com thing. My Vivid has Android 4.0.3, with HTC Sense 3.6. What would you recommend if it gets rooted? It's a long way to go, just to clear up the emoji thing, but i'm thinking that i might as well go as far as i can. If i can't put JB 4.1 on the phone, what about Sense 4.0. Do you think that it's worth it?:confused:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
PM me so it's easier to help & Sense 4.0 is awful I recommend Holic's rom if you want a Pure android/jellybean look

Wcx Illuminati if you want Better, faster, stable, and best battery life

I can Put Jellybean or the ics default sms/mms app into the rom and upload it for you
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] RyTheShark:
I am having issues with the JB mms.apk its not sending pics anymore
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
Has to be something on your end... How did you install it? Did you fix permissions? Did you wipe cache ?

Sent from my HTC Vivid using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] RyTheShark:
I have tried both ics & jb they both do the same let me pick a picture and ill hit send the whole msg will disappear. I have fixed permissions in recovery and no luck I will attempt wipe and post an edit.

Edit: still no MMS after wipe all bad idk what I did wrong haha
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] SacredTbag:
Hmm that's weird. I've been using the JB SMS since then and I notice absolutely nothing different from the stock SMS on VI.

Vivid, Virtuous Inquisition, De-Sensed, badass.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
Because, it's a de-sensed rom... The dev included it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
no what i was saying is mine is the stock ics message app i have just themed it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] SacredTbag:
Oh, haha. Wires crossed there.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
Ok, so I'm on the edge to root my Samsung Galaxy S3 (AT&T), but I have one concern. Jellybean is supposed to land on this phone in a month, and I was wondering that when I root my phone (no custom ROMs) can I update to jellybean OTA with the root, and have no problems?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
It's gonna be best to un-root before doing the eventual OTA update because it can play havoc with your phone otherwise.

If you stayed rooted and still done the OTA, the best case scenario is that it'll simply take your root status away, but it can cause more problem than simply that.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
What's worse case scenario? And it is usually easy to unroot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
I'm not too sure what the worst case scenario is, I just remember reading it not long ago.

I didn't word that last post too well to explain properly. If you're only rooted then you'll be fine to do the OTA. It's if you have CWM installed that errors can happen.

So, you're fine to root but you'll have to re-root once you've done the update.

Sent from Stephen Hawking's rooted wheelchair
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
Ahhhh okay. So if I root and stay on stock ROM ( I'm not playing to put on any custom ROMs anytime soon) I can update OTA, and everything will go well, and then I'll just root again?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
It says I need to install CWM Recovery for the root
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
That's right yes.

What method are you planning on using to root?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MissionImprobable:
Many people run rootkeeper or the like to take OTA updates without issue. Haven't seen having root causing issues, just taking updates after erasing bloatware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
So if I root, I shouldn't have any problem updating to jellybean OTA?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salincer:
I'm pretty sure you will. I rooted my phone and couldn't do a OTA so I just went with a custom rom that updates. Best decision ever
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
But what if I don't install any ROMs
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
I'm sure the devs in your forum will offer a stock rooted ROM based off the OTA. So just keep your root and wait for them. Hell . They often release theirs before the official push.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
Trust me, you do. I think there's already JB for the galaxy s3 through a custom ROM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
OK, so if I root, just root only.. no custom ROMs, nothing fancy, just being rooted, I won't be able to receive OTA updates at all?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikef:
Some devs here are starting to work on their OTA updates for their ROMs. Otherwise, most devs here work at a much faster pace to release their updates than any manufacturer or carrier will.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
So its impossible to straight up OTA from your device if your rooted with no ROMs installed?? I don't want to wipe out my data and restore my backup all for a "ROM" because I can't update legittimatly from the OTA server
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadly:
Its possible to receive ota updates... do it like this.. root your device.. don't remove bloatwares.. don't install custom kernel or rom.. then unroot your device before trying to use ota updates... it works for me.. so no worries..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
Pretty much like this. But it makes rooting quite limited, so I don't see why you would go throught the hassle when a custom ROM is a waaayy better choice. Just my opinion, though ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
Lol so either way, I have to unroot to receive a OTA update
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
Yeah, unforseen problems can occur when you OTA with root
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
Ugh. I'm new to android, well not that new, I know all the tricks and all, but when it comes to rooting and ROMS, IDK what to really do when it comes to "unrooting". Is unrooting hard?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MissionImprobable:
Again, it depends on the phone. I was able to take OTAs on my D2 without issue and it was possible to keep root with Voodoo Rootkeeper. Some phones might have issues. It's risk you take if you root. If you're that worried then wait until AT&T does and OTA and you can see what other users report.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadly:
Well basically you will have a zip file to flash to root and unroot.. but some phones have different method.. usually u will get unroot info where you download rooting files... so follow that.. or.. take a backup from cwm for stock rom of your device or any other complete backup of device and kernel.. then root it.. flash custom rom. kernel whatever you want to do.. then when ota is available.. just take backup of current custom rom.. restore stock backup.. flash stock kernel back.. now you are ready for ota.. you can switch back to custom kernel after ota if you wish with backup done of custom rom too...

hit thanks button! If above post helps you..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
When you unroot, does it wipe out all your files?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MissionImprobable:
No. Only wiping data does that.

If you choose to flash a rom you can create a backup of your stock setup for flashing back to that. You can also download Titanium Backup and backup any or all of your apps, etc for use when moving between roms.

Honestly, you really just need to read in the S3 forum as odds are any question you have has already been answered in detail just for your phone.

Brought to you by the letters "M" "I" "U" "I"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadly:
No.. only super user permission providing app and files added by rooting zip file.. you can open those root and unroot zip files and see for yourself what files are getting added and removed..

Ahhh okay, thanks guys. I think my best bet will be to wait for the OTA first, then root.

You need to unroot your device and flash stock recovery before OTA updates.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BGreat:
Hi all, I'm completely new to Android and SG2 but I've spent the past week messing with it. I've got it rooted and everything already.

I'm having one MAJOR problem and can't seem to find a fix. I've read and searched through the forum exhaustively but haven't seen any mention of it. Forgive me if this is a complete Noob question.

So, I'm trying to use Google Voice Lite (i.e. NOT the full integration.) so that I can have that as my default voicemail rather than Sprint. I do NOT want to use Sprint Visual Voicemail but that seems like the default installed program. The problem it seems like though is that Sprint VVM as default affects the "Call Settings" menu. When I go through the Google Voice setup process, at the screen where I press "configure" to continue, the following screen takes me to Call settings and stops. Now the problem is that the Call Settings screen does NOT seem to show ALL the call settings menu items that would allow me to choose which voicemail option (Carrier or GV or something else) I want. And the "voicemail settings" at the bottom is for the default Sprint VVM.

I'm attaching several pics to show what I'm seeing and also 1 pic that shows what the "call settings" screen should look like.

So how do I get around this? How do I see the rest of the call settings menu items? I can't use/setup Google Voice voicemail or Youmail with out it. PLEASE PLEASE Help. Would greatly appreciate any thoughts or feedback. Thanks

As a reference point, I'm using Caulkin E4GT EL29 GB 3.0 Rom if that helps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
There's very few gv settings you can set from the phone. Use the website. It looks like you have everything set properly on the phone. Don't forget to turn off call screening.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BGreat:
Yeah I seem to have everything correct and I have gone thru the GV website and everything there is fine. The problem is that the "Call Settings" screen on my phone is not showing the correct options to select whether I want to use my carrier vm system or something else. Basically my screenshot 1 or 2 should look like screenshot 4. Otherwise, I can't even complete GV setup on my phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
I usually don't get that screen either. Try dialing into your voicemail by long pressing 1 and see if it says Google or sprint to see if it actually is taking it

Make sure you have authorized your number on googles website. It should call your phone and ask you to enter a pin number
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slvrap1:
On the setup VM screen did you dial the number? It changes the default call forwarding number from the sprint vvm number to your Google voice number.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BGreat:
I have dialing the voicemail manually and its still set to Sprint voicemail. And yeah I have my mobile # authorized on GV website. I've been using GV for a while on my previous phone...didn't have an Android phone so couldn't use the app. Its just now that I got the GS2 that when I try to setup through the GV app, I'm having problem. It seems like something is making the Call settings menu not show everything. Is there a way to edit it? Where would the files be located?

@slvrap1 - Yes, I dialed the number given on the GV app set (as seen in the pic). It rings, answers briefly and then hangs up. I press the back button to get out of the dialer, press the "configure" button to continue but when I get to the call settings menu, I don't have the options to actually change voicemail option ("carrier" or other) as I should b able to. I'm just completely stumped on this. It seems like I'm doing everything correct both on the phone side and GV website...but just that one settings page that is the problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slvrap1:
There isn't a menu or option on the phone itself that will say you are using sprint or Google voicemail. Sounds to me like your getting hung up on looking for some kind of visual confirmation. If it was set up prior to getting the s2 on the same telephone number then everything should still be intact.

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

During the setup if you didn't hear a error message when it dialed *28xxxxxxxxx, the x's being your Google voice number its complete. Did you try leaving yourself a VM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BGreat:
Hey @slvrap1, so I FINALLY got it working. I had done all those things you had mentioned but you're right, I was stuck expecting a visual confirmation because in the setup guide and everywhere else I was looking, my call settings menu options on my phone were different and didn't match what everyone was saying. I had tried calling myself multiple times last night and it would just ring ring ring ring endlessly but never hit voicemail. So I basically just gave up for the night and then today decided to try calling myself again and BAM, the Google Voicemail greeting came on. For whatever reason I guess it took a while for it to take effect.

And Basically what it appears is that there is a bug on my ROM or something that prevents the "call settings" menu options to display the proper option but I guess in the end, it didn't really matter whether I had those call settings options available on my phone, as long as I dialed the *28 to activate.

Thanks a lot for all your help and suggestions. Guess there's a lot of quirks about Android I need to learn esp coming from iOS

This probably is obviously not the write forum for that but as familiarize myself w/the system, any list of apps you would recommend?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BGreat:
Oh and FYI, when I try to do a long 1 press on my phone, it still takes me to my Sprint voicemail account. Not sure that really means anything

Why is there no miui support for the note miuiandriod nor miui.us have support for it I asked on there forms but got no response
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thacoolestnerd:
Check out the Miui Vengeance Rom on the development forum.... Authentic Miui ported to the note

I'm always skeptical of miui because its closed sourced although derived from cm and aosp. Also; it looks like iOS. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpoirier587:
I feel like it takes the best parts of iOS and lays them on top of android. Nice and simple, clean iOS style interface laid on top of the much more useful and flexible android base.

Best of both worlds.

does it give power options like when rooted? my power button was sticking like crazy and then when i tried to pop it up the whole thing flew out...

want to know what to say to VZW when i call for replacement...ie my power button was sticking and i couldnt do anything cuz power options kept coming up

would that be correct?

thanks

I think it shows hibernate and airplane mode and reboot. Its been so long since I've seen it I can barely remember. I've been rooted since the day I got this phone lol.

I would just tell them it isn't working anymore. I've actually had that happen on another phone and they replaced it. I wouldn't send it back rooted though.

yea def wont send back rooted...yea think ill say something like that, wont turn on all the time and when does shuts down cuz power button is in

yea i was curious to what the standard menu consisted of so i sounded more like i was on stock

I sent an Eris back rooted, s off and unlocked before and heard no complaints so you may get lucky but I wouldn't do it if I could avoid it.

i know not to send back rooted, ive unrooted b4....just want to know whats on the stock power menu lol
[Thunderbolt General] Milimbar:
Verizon can see if you are rooted and any custom rom or modified kernel you are using. They have full access to all the information in the "about phone" screen in settings. If they wanted to deny a warranty claim due to being rooted, all they would have to do is look on their systems and see what you were running.
[Thunderbolt General] djcyph:
bastards said they will charge me 300 something if i send back without the power button

if i jam it in am i screwed either way if i send it back since i already callled??

asurion only has tblolts id rather wait till they out of stock and get rezound
[Thunderbolt General] Milimbar:
Id call back and talk to a different person, then tell them the button fell out (you did not pop it out) if that dont work get escalated (talk to their manager.
[Thunderbolt General] androidsupra:
that sounds like a load of crap
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I agree. I have been over my about phone with Verizon several times and even returned rooted phones to them and they never said crap. I think they ask because they want to see if you're going to slip up and tell them some wrong information.
[Thunderbolt General] heath2805:
+1 lol Verizon has no way to tell your rooted unless they have your phone in front of them. If they knew, you would be warned as soon as you root your device. Where do these people get their info?? Lol

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 AM ----------

Yeah most of them don't really care anyway. I had a touch pro 2 from Sprint, first phone I ever rooted. I panicked because I had to send it back, didn't know how to re-lock! Finally after searching and reading and searching I figured it out! Lol
