Yeah, to them, money is the most important - customer service and all that is secondary.

It's sad but true - next phone I get will definitely be a Nexus, best value for money and always updated.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AndreaFar:
I think depends also by popularity and user's pressure.

Lg Optimus 2X has received ICS in 2 years.

Samsung Galaxy S2 update to ICS was not sure but after many concern about update by the users, has received ICS upgrade and actually also Jelly Bean and was launched in 2011, beyond two year support, (ad the KLP for S3 is semi-official).

I am trying to send files from my Desktop PC via Bluetooth to my i-Mate 2020 but it doesnt work. On the other hand I am able to send files from my i-Mate 2020 to my Desktop PC.

My Desktop PC is running Win XP with SP 2.

Can anyone help please??
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] sazoo:
Did you try, from your pda, setting up a bluetooth file explorer type connection (might be called "browse files on another device") pick you PC, pull files off onto pda.

I've done it between a blue angel and an XPSP2 desktop, worked fine. but I've only done it the once

I'll try it and see if it works. Don't know how to do it but I'll figure it out.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user 6230:
I know my TAB 2 android version is 4.2.2 Jelly Bean (CyanogenMod RC5) but I still have few Questions

1 What means JDQ39E ?

(this row of letters and numbers cames after OS version number at Google Chrome's about Chrome list)

2 I know what means Stable and Nigthly after CyanogenMod's version number but what that RC means ?

3 and why on the CM 10.1 RC5's Changelog is writed "this is first CyanogenMod for device GT-P3100" but still I got RC5 when I uptade RC2 so I think RC1 is first ?

4 then why Chrome is not open sourced but all else GApps are ?

Tell for Noob :o
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juliandsp:
First, I'm a noob too, so just can answer couple of your question

RC means Release Candidate. Those are "last builds before stable release, few minor issues, mostly stable and safe for daily use" In the wiki page of cyanogenmod says that.

Maybe the didn't change the log. "this first CyanogenMod for device GT-P3100" or is the first the published, really don't know any more ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shiftr182:
Can you shoot me a link to the widget your using? The one Im using is one I modded when I was with sprint. I tweaked it a little to look right with rotation, but if I can get one that works good on Verizon I will do the same to it. I have to set the widget up first, then flash the theme.

Tweaked version would be epic!!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] arnookie:
Fix for most problems WITHOUT Full factory reset.

This should help fix problems on most phones with the following bugs:-

App crashes

Force close

Wifi problems

Data Problems

Menu slowdowns

Sluggish behaviour (especially after rom upgrades / downlgrades.

Battery drain

Call problems

Mail problems (sms / email)

Brightness not increasing due to heat

Poor overall performance

Poor Gps fix

Reboots

Many more improvements and fixes not listed.

Go to system settings / app settings/ all apps/ then clear data and cache on each and every app apart from contacts, But including all default android and system apps as well as all installed apps.

I know you may have a long list of apps to go through but this should and has fixed many problems for a lot of people I suggest this to.

Especially for people who like swapping roms. The only real problem is your home screens will more than likely reset to default.

Go on give it a try. Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JBeXX:
9/14 Update. Now attached below is a working zip file for ME7 bases with contact fix for ROMs that include blocking mode.

Sup All,

I'm not a developer, just a very big fan of AOSP messaging and wanted to share progress I've made on getting it working with our VZW S4s.

I take no credit for the messaging app, only for minor tweaks and workarounds found to make it functional for our devices. I also take no responsibility if you don't follow exact directions and bork something. It is always recommended to do a nandroid backup to be on the safe side. The flashable zip I have attached below should work with any deodexed Touchwiz ROM. This WILL work on odex but requires the workaround when sending MMS to view the photo before sending.

MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE CORRECT ZIP FILE for either MDK or ME7 base.

***WARNING, MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP SMS/MMS BEFORE FLASHING as this will wipe your current inbox!!!

There is a zip below with the FULLY THEMEABLE aosp MMS (font size and color, any color backgrounds, etc) with options for quick reply and has read, reply, and call in the dropdown panel. Also with working emoji and option for quick toggle for emoji in the compose box. Check out the screenshots below.

Directions:

1) MUST be rooted with a custom recovery.

2) Download the correct zip file attached below dependent of your base of MDK or ME7. If using the ME7 version, you will also need to flash the contacts fix zip provided by [MENTION=3962032]notstevek[/MENTION] if you are running a ROM that includes blocking mode.

3)

MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP MMS/SMS BEFORE FLASHING!!!

The newest zip will delete your current inbox.

4) Flash the zip in custom recovery. I am using TWRP but any custom recovery should be fine A nandroid is always recommended to be on the safe side

5) PROFIT, you should now have fully functional AOSP 4.2 messaging with working group messaging and no workaround needed for MMS

Let me know if you have questions and I'll help to the best of my ability.

For the best support from here on out please head over here and give [MENTION=4913579]CPA Poke[/MENTION] some love. http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=42868475

Cheers and enjoy!! :)

**couple notes thanks to helpful users**

-Group messaging from Iphone users can come through wonky. If you use group messgaing with Iphone users...shame on you but keeping group messaging unchecked in settings should still give you single thread views.

-Selecting your own contact pic within a conversation will also cause a forceclose. This has been a known issue since 4.1 with Aosp messaging and touchwiz. So in the meantime just try and remember who you are, what your number is, where you live, and what you look like without clicking your own pic ;)

-GIFs will be received as still images.

Big Thanks and Credits to

I havent tested this on stock but as long as you are rooted and able to rename the needed files, then yes this should work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
The ability to reply/dismiss from the pulldown is probably my most desired feature, not to mention the overall look and feel of AOSP far outclasses TW!

Still working great several hours later!

Bruins lifer here - Born and raised in Portland, Maine and played hockey growing up (still is, in my mind, the best major sport out there bar none). Should be a great series - any time two Original 6 teams lace up you know it's going to be wild!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JBeXX:
Great! Glad it's still going smooth.

And yes, gonna be an awesome series for sure!! I'm actually heading out for an ice hockey bar league game of my own now so will miss most of game 1.

Getting FC when responding to group message... Anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JBeXX:
I haven't had a chance to try group messaging with this(just don't ever have a group to message lol) but I think they are sent as MMS in which case they may not send due to the lack of a work around similar to the one for photo MMS.

I'm about to hit the ice but will try and look more into it later. For now maybe just keep group messaging unchecked in the settings. And if anyone else can test and report back for frequent group messaging users it would be greatly appreciated.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Hmm so another question for you all regarding group messaging. I know some people use it and some don't but I have a thread in my messages where I can't see the message/content of a friend who has an iPhone.

Everyone else in the group conversation has an android but my friends message with the iPhone doesn't appear.

I tried using handcent and go sms and still am unable to view it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JBeXX:
I don't use group messaging but I'll go ahead and assume it is the universe trying to punish your friend for buying an iPhone :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Haha I wouldn't blame it

But the weird thing is I tried to replicate the scenario with an iPhone 4 and note and when the iPhone would send a message to me and the note, I would get it an individual message from just the iPhone with no indication that the note was notified as well.

Now if I send a group message to the iPhone and the note, I can send and receive just fine and dandy.. Weird
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
was going to flash this on my stock rooted odex rom but i see some people are having issues. guess ill wait til i change roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
So I feel like I'm always posting in this thread haha but anyway, I flashed the revertstockmms.zip and it didn't seem to work for me. After I flash, the themeable mms mod is still applied and it works just fine.

I was wondering if I would be able to see that missing message from my iPhone friend if I flashed back to stock but no avail..

:(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JBeXX:
Post away. We are here to help each other out :)

Do me a favor and take a look in your system/app folder and see if you have a Mms.apk and a SecMms.apk. If you have both, delete the Mms.apk and reboot. That should have you back.

I need to redo the revert zip to align better with newest themable zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
I tried that and the stock message app came up but it kept on FC'ing. I'm just gonna go back to the mod and call it a day. haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JBeXX:
Just added CPA Poke's Restore_Previous_MMS.zip to the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JBeXX:
If you flash to zip I just referenced that was just added to the OP, you should be good to go to get back to stock.

Plan B is tell your buddy to throw his iPhone in a lake and grab an S4 lol :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Awesome, I'll try that out later when I get a chance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CPA Poke:
I'm actually having the same issue. I'm guessing it's just some kind of incompatibility with the group MMS source + our framework + Apple's sending format. It would take someone way more knowledgeable than me to fix it :(

However, you can work around this by installing Facebook Messenger, then going into its settings and checking "use for sms/mms"...but leave the "use as default messenging program" unchecked.

Then when/if you receive those messages that don't show up, open up FB Messenger and you'll be able to see them. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hpower1:
thanks for this! Appreciate the work and you sharing it with us.

FYI I'm running stock rom with root. Works great, but to send MMS picture I still have to view it first. Then it sends fine.

First time I tried this, so it was a clean flash of newest version.

edit: just flashed gruesomewolf_sacs rom. This mod works perfect on that. Thanks!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
I tried doing that as well and the actual FB app is giving me some sort of error to try again later.

In addition, I seemed to have lost the group messaging threads that were in my inbox haha

Oh well no big worries. I'm sure a fix will come out sooner or later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dantecantal:
I flashed the AOSP MMS and then decided to go back to the Stock GS4 MMS. Everything works fine except now, when I compose a new text, if I click on the contacts icon next to the Enter Recipient box, the app FCs with a message that Contacts has stopped. How can I fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JBeXX:
I need to redo the return to stock zip.

I'm actually heading out now to play in a weekend hockey tournament so unfortunately I won't be able to get it up for a couple days probably.

Did you flash both restore zips? If not which one did you use?

In the meantime if you need to get back to stock you could always dirty flash the ROM you are on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CPA Poke:
Yeah for some reason this won't work on a clean flash of a ROM...always let the ROM boot up for the first time and open/close the stock messaging app once before flashing this.

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

Go to app drawer and open the Contacts app like 3 or 4 times. I'm assuming it will FC each time.

Now go to app drawer and open the Phone app...then from the phone app click on the contacts icon on the far right. If it doesn't work the first time (ie it FC's), do that 2 or 3 more times. Eventually it should open up for good :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WoodburyMan:
Thanks!!! Have this on my AT&T SGH-I337 on a MEA based rom running great! Everything works.

However, the AOSP Messaging app has a bug I found in CM10.1, Paranoid, and this, where it randomly doesn't resize photos correctly. Most commonly with photos taken vertically, but with horizontal as well. Most photos it will resize correctly to under 1024kb (AT&T MMS limit). However some photos, (doesnt matter resolution or anything) it will not resize them properly and will end up being 1100kb+ and will not send because they are to large.

Any insights into this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dantecantal:
Opening up the Contacts app works every time. Opening up the Phone app and clicking on contacts works every time. The only time it doesn't work is when composing a new message and clicking on the icon to choose contacts from the contact list. It seems as though each messaging app handles choosing contacts. I tried doing the same thing in Chomp SMS and it brought up Chomp's list of contacts just fine. This leads me to believe it's just a problem with the revert to stock messaging zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CPA Poke:
Interesting...check your /system/app and see if there is still any of the following:

Mms.apk

SecTelephonyProvider.apk.bak

If Mms.apk is still there, delete it. If SecTelephonyProvider.apk.bak is there, rename it to SecTelephonyProvider.apk (delete the current SecTelephonyProvider.apk first or it won't let you rename).

Then just to make sure your permissions are correct, open up Terminal Emulator and enter the following:

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

chmod 644 /system/app/*.apk

Then reboot into recovery, clear cache/dalvik-cache, and reboot.

You shouldn't need to clear dalvik (just caches should be fine). Don't worry about fixing Permissions either, I make sure to set all necessary permissions in my install zip.

A little help

Thank you so much for putting in the time to do this. Everything looks great I just have a few problems. I cannot send group messages, anytime I send a text to more than one person the message fails and sms force closes. I know this was a problem but I thought it was resolved. Also every time I reboot I get a message "Android is upgrading..." briefly before the home screen. I am on stock / rooted. Also is there anyway to revert to the old messaging If I cannot resolve issues?

Thanks for the help, I hope I can get this thing running smoothly!
