[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JWhetstone02:
If you install a theme over this mod, it will corrupt the message app. The messaging app they use in the Rom is a Sprint messaging app, and that is what they tweaked and themed. This mod replaces the messaging app with the Verizon version to include group messaging and vvm.

The themes resources are different from that of this app. Which makes it not work.

So installing a theme over this mod, you will not have a messaging app, just an icon that force closes when you launch it. I think basil will have a Verizon beta tester test it out, but for now the theme is a no go

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] -4ndr01d-:
yea man, i figured this out tha hard way. i mention in the theme thread. he did say they may be testing a vzw htc messaging app out. we ight bein luck, yo
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
Not that I'm in this boat, but will the mod work for any Full ROM "base" version of Viper?

I installed Viper 1.2.0 (full ROM), then used OTA to get to 1.3, and it works still. If someone flashes the full 1.3 ROM, then this mod, it will still work, correct? (I guess I'm asking for someone else just in case, LOL)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Worst comes to worst flash this mod again. I'm on Viper 1.3.1 with the light theme installed and after install i just flashed this zip again just in case. Make sure no conflicts with the light theme and sms app, simple and all working perfectly ;)

so who has been able to send mms above 1200k ? i cant get anything over 12k to send:confused:

Anyone get the notification preview in the status bar working? When using my device and screen on, I get a new text message in the status bar shows the text icon. Usually it will also display a sente 've or two of what the text is in the status bar like an iPhone would when it arrives and screen is on. I have this option checked but no preview. Using latest viper Rom fine with no hboot updated firmware installed and this app.

If I slide down the notification bar it will show the text. As it co rd in though with screen on it does not display the text in the status bar like stock Rom would.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Springy_Minaj:
This might not be the right thread but since it is regarding MMS I figured I'd ask - I'm on Viper my phone will spaz out mid conversation with people apparently and they'll get my message twice maybe three or four times. Or it it'll happen on the opposite end with me and I'll receive three or four messages. I've tried using just stock which seemed fine for a while but it had problems sending messages a lot always asking me to retry but this thread looks like it will fix it. I've used chomp an textra and as alternates but still get the same complains from people. Does anyone know what might be the cause of this its driving me insane!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Had that before and it's a carrier issue, not hardware or Rom related. My previous device HTC One X+ did this out of no where after 6 months or so. Tried everything. Talked to a few friends that work in the cellular industry and they knew right away as it's common. Had to get a new SIM card and they had to manually reset a few things on my account. Then about an hour later back to normal. Try that.

Viper Inverted.

Okay guys I got side tracked for a while. Was recovery from something. Anyways I wanted the Verizon Messages app but like it inverted. So I used the app after I applied the Viper Dark theme and the app in OP and inverted. Just download the attached apk and move to system/priv-app. I working just fine for me and get notifications with no issues. Left me know if you have any problems.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Maedhros:
Are 600, 1000, and 3500kb the only values that will work?

I'm trying to modify my MMS max size to 2500, but it still automatically resizes images for under 600kb. If I choose 3500 as the max, it will work correct (resizes the image to 2600kb).

Sorry for the slightly random question.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] -4ndr01d-:
mine do the same thing. i think there is a limit to the max it will send

i create the 3500K, but going through pic details. the camera compression yeields like 2.79MB as my biggest one so far... i send that it compresses it to 2700K but will not send. (full service 4g)

sent another, got compresed to 2500K and it sent fine.

i think there is a limit as to what the size is.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Jcross1324:
Would this work for ATT as well?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JWhetstone02:
The message.apk is from our Verizon system files. It's possible it could work. But the concept as far as changing your mms size will work. Not sure about the actual file.

The actual file itself was because viperonem8 used a gsm variant of message.apk in the Rom. That broke group messaging and mms size and visual voice mail from Verizon for us on the Verizon m8

-HTC One m8-
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JWhetstone02:
I have been looking into this. I have my mms size set to 3500K and I have yet to come across a picture that I've taken that will send over 2600K. So far everything up to 2600K has sent.

It's quite possible that Verizon has us limited to 2600K for the max that we can send.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tuffgongfl:
I'm new to Verizon and have a quick question. Is paying the 2.99 a month the only way to enable vvm? I'm used to getting it for free and debating if it's worth it to pay extra.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] buddahj:
I have my mms set to the max 3500k but can't seem to send anything over 1200k. Weird
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] insertnewsn:
I personally use Google Voice instead. Never used VVM so I can't compare, but I'm not giving VZW any more money..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Hawk figured out a way to make our Message.apk compatible with Extreme Power Saving Mode -- OP - Please PM me if you would like me to edit the .apk for you to allow this.

Sharing is caring. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] buddahj:
That would be super fantastic. I hope this happens.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xRogerxC:
Yes, unfortunately you have to pay the $2.99 a month on Verizon for Visual Voice Mail. Verizon will suck every cent they can out of you for everything they can. I feel the $2.99 is worth it though, for the convenience of having VVM.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I took the .apk from the OP and edited it to work with Extreme Power Saving Mode. Will someone flash and test it out for me, please?

If it has issues you just re-flash the .zip from the OP, but I do have this working for my ROM and I made the same edits.

http://d-h.st/Ej7
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Hell yeah! I'll test right now for you! I'm using the latest Venom 1.5 rom right now and having to use this stock messaging to get my visual voicemail working and group messaging and what not. But it of course breaks the extreme power save sms app!

Will test yours now though and report back soon. Thank you, glad someone took the time for this!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I am curious how this responds to VVM, I know it removes the tabs in message.apk, but hopefully you can still use the .apk icon in the app drawer, thank you for testing.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Couple things. Yes your messaging app works perfectly from what i can tell. I tried sending and receiving texts as well as mms and all worked fine in extreme power save mode using latest Venom 1.5 rom.

1. As you stated, does not include tabs though in messaging app for all messages or visual voicemail. I do though have the visual voicemail app icon in my app drawer and if i click it, it then takes me to visual voicemail tab inside messaging app and then i have all 3 tabs. But if i open messaging app by itself i only have sms/mms, no tabs.

2. Maybe you can implement the higher mms size limit for sending media with you zip? I know we can "manually" change it but would be nice to have an all in 1 zip that does this as well. Not sure but think people on here are saying 2600k is the max size verizon will allow us to send over the network. Maybe if you can have max setting for this and below?

3. Not sure how related but had an issue maybe you can help? About 2 days ago my sim card acting up literally after entering this string in terminal emulator as instructed in OP's first post here:

su

am start -n com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard/.activity.CustomizationActivity

I accidentally copy and pasted like that from tapatalk then paste in emulator and hit enter. Got an error, then did su by itself, enter, then the second part by itself, enter, then i did it's thing and i was able to get the higher mms limit.

After that though whenever i send mms or try to retrieve visual voicemail i get sim card errors! It displays the sim card icon, i get zero bars of reception, then says preparing sim card, then gives me 2 bars of reception, shows 4gLTE for a second, the reboots this cycle. Sometimes after 1 cycle it sticks, sometimes it cycles this process several times before sticking!!!

I tried reboots, i tried to take sim card out, wipe it down, put sim card back in tray securely, reboot, still no difference.

I think it settings some how causing this because I can surf internet just fine, receive mail, etc. Only happens when sending mms or connecting to VVM.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
awesome very glad it's working, as for the sim card, very weird! wish i could help.

the edits for larger size is within the default.xml not the message.apk iirc, but could be wrong.

that terminal string may be the issue tho may have to do factory reset :-/
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JWhetstone02:
i flashed the .zip and it does indeed work with extreme powersaver mode.

it does take away the tabs (vvm i do not use, so i do not care)

it also supports group messaging (which the other message.apk supplied with the extreme powersaver mod did not)

it lowers the mms size limit, which we can change ourselves

i have not seen this issue on my phone at all. only time i had sim card issues was with the droid dna. havent had a single one on this device yet. even after performing those changes through terminal emulator
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
I even tried to reflash rom and still no changes. Anywhere i can try default settings for mms or see if that helps? I'm hoping then maybe just a bunk sim card needing replaced? Just seems odd though since i entered that string that way is when it started happening and i've had this device since it was released on Verizon. Doesn't make sense how i can watch youtube, surf internet, mail, all fine and phone calls. Only when i try to access visual voicemail and send mms is when this happens.

Do you know a simple way to change the mms limit size?

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

Would it be possible to make your zip have the tabs in messaging app even when in extreme power save mode to be able to check VVM and what not? Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JWhetstone02:
if anyone else hasn't reported it, i don't think it would be the code. i am not experiencing any issues with signal or sim cards. and i do send/receive a lot of pictures. so it could possibly be the sim. they are free at verizon, just call and they will send you one

to chnage mms size limits the file you need to edit is located here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51991250&postcount=16

any values will work, and show up .. but i think verizon has us limited to 2500k we cant send any mms over 2500k. so i just use the stock values of 200 500 1200

after flashing andybones' patch, the default.xml still have the stock values(or if you've chnaged it), so i just re-ran the terminal command and its back to normal
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Do you know what else this terminal command changes or defaults besides sms/mms limit size? When i do the command, reboot, now my weather says location service off, tap to see weather by my home clock. I then have to manually set this up again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JWhetstone02:

I'm running Viper v1.5 and flashed this mod, then ran the command in terminal emulator I got the screen with the HTC logo and everything, but for some reason when I try to open VVM I just get "messages has stopped" and vvm won't open.

But when I open the messaging app it works fine. Strange. Can you tell me what to do to get VVM working?

Just flash the new .zip until the OP is updated with it. You may need to follow OP to reset the MMS limit correctly.

Thanks. I don't use the stock messaging app at all. I just did this for the Visual Voicemail fix. So I'm not really concerned about the MMS limit. I just want visual voicemail to work. I wish it wasn't tied into the stock messaging app on this phone. It makes things super difficult.

[MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION] or the op. Anyway to integrate this feature back into the stock htc sms app? Block list. International users have the option by default and i believe the t-mobile users do as well. I bet it's just a hidden xml script to enable it but no idea where to look? We have block list for stock dialer app but for some reason not enabled for sms like before.

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-10830

http://www.htc.com/www/support/htc-one-m8/howto/465274.html

Maybe this is a stretch but hey closed mouths don't get fed so figured i'd ask. If this is possible to do for us, would it also be possible to hide the icon that pops up when a blocked person tries contacting you? This block list is great in theory but if a blocked person calls you they can still leave you a voicemail which in my opinion defeats the whole purpose of Blocking a Contact. If it's possible for them to not leave you a voicemail would be great, blocked means blocked i would think?

Also, when a blocked person tries calling you, instantly on the notification bar you get an icon of a person with a lock through them showing you someone who is blocked tried notifying you. Would it be possible to not have this icon ever show up? Thank you and appreciate any insight to this.

Try pulling the messages app and vvm app from the newest stock Rom for us Verizon people and placing them in their corresponding locations, give them the correct permissions and reboot. That's all it's doing pretty much.

I'm still on ViperOne 1.8 ...May update tomorrow depending on time
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
OK, I fixed it with some help from nicholi2789 in the Viper Thread. Here's what you need to do:

Pull 3 apps from stock deodex 4.4.3 ROM - Message.pak, VVM.pak and VZW_Messages.apk (The last one may be overkill, but it worked for me.)

Copy/Move the 3 apps to \system\priv-app

Change permissions on all 3 apps (Root Explorer) to: R/W - R - R

(May be optional): Reboot to recovery, wipe cache. Boot to Android OS

PROFIT!

If you want to change your ZIP file on this thread, I can send you the 3 APKs from the stock ROM, just send me a PM.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
