I use a 32b magic with TheOfficial port (also using AdvancedLauncher & BetterBrowser if that does mather) and have replaced the MMS with this one, now iam not able to save settings in the application, when i edit settings like "back to all threads", "turn off notifications", "black background", "delivery reports" etc it works until i press "BACK" or "HOME" and starting to do something else and then goes back to the MMS.apk all settings are reset.

I installed this with adb shell method and removed the old apk fully, is there some settingsfile with wrong permission or what could it be?
[G1 Android Development] southsko:
Thanks for the "real" real receipts icons like my old blackberry. I use my phone to program remote telemetry devices (T-Mo) and I can tell if they are on right away with this mms.apk as I don't have to manually check for a delivery report.
[G1 Android Development] jc1337:
could you make it so that we can set what we want our smiles to be? let me explain a little more if I was to type :-) it would put the little android smiling. Which is fine I guess but I always put :) when I message a smile so it doesn't show the emocon (I believe is what they are called). If it's not to hard I think it would be cool if you could make it to where we can type in what symbols we want for each face. so if someone wanted the emocon but they didn't type their smiles like :-) they could type them like :), =), =], :}, etc.

idea/question

For the poll I think a good idea would be so the contact pic on the top right of the message window and if u click on it get contact info, looking like the sidekick AIM in a way if you ever seen it,

My question is I see you have the option back to all threads on the MMS.apk I was wondering this would be great in the calander becausew I find my self pressing the back button and I hate when that happens, if it takes me back to the month view would be great.
[G1 Android Development] bbbblack:
is anyone else experiencing their settings, such as black background and led color reseting after exiting the mms application and checking a message using the notification icon? Ill set my settings, fire off a text, receive a reply, pull down the notification bar, click the message to read it, and now my background is back to white and all my other settings are reset. Wtf? Anyone else with this problemo?
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
how do you install this app?
[G1 Android Development] bbbblack:
For installation i used abd install. Should i have pushed the app instead?
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
looks like you have both of Mms app working, just remove built-in Mms package using following command:

adb shell rm /system/app/Mms.apk

if this command not helps you, push my app to /system/app/ will resolves this problem.

NOTE: backup your original package first
[G1 Android Development] bbbblack:
Would busybox work also? I wont be near a pc for a while. What would be the busybox command if so?

yup, it shoulds

Send Contact via SMS vCard

Would it be possible to enable sending and recieving of contacts via sms using vCard's. its just and idea, im not sure if it would be possible, or how easy it would be.
[G1 Android Development] G1-evolve:
Hope your still working on this.
[G1 Android Development] SteveTilsed:
Like above i hope this dev continues! Another feature i would like to see the ability to set different notification patterns (blink colour/vibrate paterns) for different contacts or groups!

on his twitter he said he will be back soon, i hope he does come back soon haha.

broke my phone.
[G1 Android Development] nolageek:
What happened? I seriously doubt this one app "broke your phone."
[G1 Android Development] jacsonmoore3:
what the hell now i cant send any text its just keep force closing when i hit send
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
please report your problems here: http://code.google.com/p/modified-android-mms/issues/list

I need more info than: force close, broke, does not work, etc...
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Hi, I'm currently (and mostly) running CM 4.1.11.1, so I guess this app has been bundled into it for a while now, judging by Cyanogen's own comments in this thread, the app icon (yes, noticed that immediately, and yes so sweet!), etc... Yet it's not working, still.

I noticed the version posted here is different than the version in my current CM, so I thought I'd just give it a shot, but no luck.

What happens is an immediate FC when I reboot my phone, saying

The application Messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexp.... etc, we know this!

I have the logcat, but i want to examine it and cut out unnecessary parts, then I will post it to your bug tracker on code.google...

I'm just wondering, does anyone have this set up? My operator (Telenor) requires MMS access over a special APN, which I have set up, but it's not working at all.. However i don't think it has to do with the APN settings, just because I see an immediate FC.. I can't even try to send a MMS.

Will report back soon!

Thanks for your hard work!

[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
rgv151, I know you don't have much time to spend on this. But I was wondering if you'd be able to compile a version for Donut yet? I miss your messaging app, and Akirah hasn't compiled yours into his rom yet.
[G1 Android Development] bcrook:
It is in cyanogen's 4.1.99 donut ROM.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
I think I mentioned I'm not using Cyanogen's mod. Thanks, though.

i would like to make a suggesttion for next update, can you give the option of mark the msg as read when you press "close" similar to SMSPopUp. And the Delete option as well would be great. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] kchau:
it doesnt crash on dwangs rom anymore, upgraded to 1.6.

Edit: it crashes in 3g but not edge
[G1 Android Development] davidemartindale:
I know I'm in the vast minority here on this forum, but I actually run a bone stock OTA rom.. gasp!

It sure would be nice if this Modified MMS app were available as a stand alone app that ran along side the stock MMS app rather than as a replacement. Kind of like how irrenhaus has made his Advanced Launcher (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=540880) a stand alone app as well as a replacement. Maybe named "Modified MMS" or some such so that the stock and modified apps can be distinguished from each other when they are both present.

That way it could be installed on stock roms as well as custom roms. Seems like releasing a separate stand alone version at the same time as the replacement version with each update would be a simple process, but what do I know.. I'm not a developer :)

Just a thought, feel free to ignore it lol.
[G1 Android Development] G1-evolve:
IS HE ALIVE?!?!?!?!?! O_o

For an update something similar to SMS Popup would be nice. ;)
[G1 Android Development] showbizz:
Hmm i have tryed the Mms.apk..

The main problem with the build Mms.apk is when i receive an mms

fx. a gif with more than one slide, it only plays 1 slide..

So have tryed both Mms.08022009.apk and Mms.08212009.apk

But i got force close all the time..

I cannot really see, which firmware version its used for..

I have a magic 32a - Hero wm light rom

So maybe a nice person could help me..

Thx

I am having the same issues a
[G1 Android Development] beejizzle:
Will the development continue on this one? I would really like you if you could add a private sms inbox, maybe a filter where you can add phonenumbers that will go into a passwordprotected private inbox and some kind of notification...
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
any luck with adding contact pictures next to the messages ? maybe the code from the new contacts will help ?
[G1 Android Development] MetalMessiah78:
I hope development does continue. I am eagerly awaiting contact pictures as well. Has any one experienced any bugs with the signature? On mine, it does a weird thing where it adds a space between the text and signature.

The first text I send will be normal, the way it's supposed to be

<Signature>

The second text will introduce a space

<Signature>

The third will introduce an additional space

<Signature>

And so on

<Signature>

Once the other person replies, it resets and starts all over. This is generally not a problem unless I'm replying to someone that has Cricket or something I have to make sure I don't go over the 140 characters or they'll get the text next week, so if I have something kind of long to say, I have to break it up.
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
I never understood the reason for adding a signature to your text like your on a forum or something, i hate when i get texts from people that have a signature as their name like I dont know who I'm talking to or something so they need to tell me at the end of every message
[G1 Android Development] moosefist:
I think contact pics would be great. I really hope rgv picks this back up or another dev takes over.

One feature i would really really like would be for texts to notify you individually. Instead of 3 unread messages, i would rather have a seperate notification for each text. Just the person's name and a short preview for each text like it does when there is only 1 text in the notification. That way you could see each text and select the ones you want indiviually, taking you straight to the thread.

I really hope there is more progress on this in the near future.
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
guys, Mms on Eclair (Android 2.0) already has "Contact Picture" feature. I am working on Eclair based version.

just wait for Eclair.
[G1 Android Development] MetalMessiah78:
I agree with you, putting your name in the signature is kind of dumb, but I usually have something dumb or funny that I put in it. I use it more like a "status" like you would with Google Talk or something.

Does the Eclair MMS work with Donut? If so, how do I get it to work? I'm sure it's not as easy and pushing it with ADB. Don't want to mess anything up on my phone by trying it.
[G1 Android Development] guillaumemarques:
Hello all,

I've a problem with mms on my HTC G1. It's running on Cyanogen ROM (4.2.6), I'm an Orange custommer.

I can't receive any MMS.

When I receive MMS, I have the download button, but when I click on, it doesn't work.

Could you help me ????

(I also speak french / Je parle aussi Français)

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] guillaumemarques:
Precisions...

It seems to be a size limitation...

I can receive mms without attached picture.

Could you help me ?

Do someone know how to change MMS maximal size ?

Thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] kchau:
is there a way to fix the "message not sent" error?

reason i ask is because i sometimes get message not sent, when the message is actually sent, so i retry and send the message again, so it gets sent twice.
[G1 Android Development] juno360:
Had the exact same issue in rav1.6.2 and now in dwang.

I wonder if it has anything to do with taskiller killing mms.apk and then it having problems?
[G1 Android Development] kchau:
i have my mms.apk to exclude.
[G1 Android Development] ColombianCoffee:
suggestion/request

One thing I would really love for MMS is a blacklist. I get spam texts and would love to put certain numbers on a blacklist. Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
can you add a feature for the andriod phones without a keyboard where when you open new text the virtural keyboard automatically opens up instead of clickin ont he field!

thanks!

great mod! my fav feature is the black background =)

Any plans on porting this to eclair?

Maybe release the source? Let someone continue this? It was good and can use a lot more things to it.
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
You might be able to find his source in his github:

(It was on the first page, first post)
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
Thanks for your advice, updated to the 1st post.
[G1 Android Development] herbjr:
Nice work man. I wanted to ask if you would be able to edit it so we would be able to use signatures. That would be great.
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
Request accepted!

Has anybody tested this on CM 3.6.8.1? It says in the first post it was tested on CM 3.9.x

I would love to test it, but I don't want to have any problems with my sms messages. Just looking for some reassurance. Looks great though!
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Awesome work, I'll pull this for 3.9.3.
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
My code is folked from CM build, I only add new features and it should works with any CM version.

Just backup your old Mms.apk package and install this build. If something's wrong, re-install your backup and post your trouble here.
[G1 Android Development] cojonesx:
any chance for additional options to the notifications? I really want to change the LED color for mms and vibrate from the default.
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Very nice work. :D
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
You are welcome, just post your requests. I will try to add new features in the next releases...
[G1 Android Development] ccunningham83:
Works so far. Will let you know if I have any issues. Thanks a lot!
[G1 Android Development] dragon4000:
Quick question, any way to do this through terminal??:confused: Thx :)
[G1 Android Development] ccunningham83:
I am not very good at all this stuff, but I think this should work:

(assuming you have the new Mms.apk on the root of your SD card

$ su
# rm -r /system/app/Mms.apk
# cp /sdcard/Mms.apk /system/app
# exit
$ exit

Might want to wait for someone else to verify....
[G1 Android Development] cojonesx:
$ su
[B]# mount -o rw,remount /system[/B]
# rm -r /system/app/Mms.apk
# cp /sdcard/Mms.apk /system/app
# exit
$ exit
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
glad you like this! if it works fine, I will list CM 3.6.8.x to tested fw list
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
Added Signature support as herbjr requested.

Auto-append settings:

- Manual/Off: Append signature by menu

- On Compose

- On Send: extra message (if any) may cost you, use at your own risk :D
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
works great, black background looks good with the hero theme.. i set my sig but im not seein them in the messages..
[G1 Android Development] herbjr:
Aww man. You are the best. The only thing that stopped this app from being perfect is the send on enter and the signature. Thanks a lot!!

Edit: Using JACMyTouchSkiv2.0 and it is working good so far. Installed via ADB.
[G1 Android Development] herbjr:
Try this:

[b]# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0 /system[/b]
# mount -o rw,remount /system
# rm -r /system/app/Mms.apk
# cp /sdcard/Mms.apk /system/app
# exit
$ exit

THIS MIGHT NOT WORK
[G1 Android Development] cbaltzer:
Thanks! I installed this on my Magic, and it works great. :)

(installed with adb install -r)
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
I like the new messaging icon ;)

" :) xda "

Didn't notice it before lol. Good work! Everything is working perfectly!
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
congrats, you found the little secret ;)
[G1 Android Development] El Daddy:
I cant for the life of me install the .apk Ive tried both adb and the terminal. Ive pushed .apk's many times but this zipped file has thrown me for a loop.

I've renamed the zipped folder to mms.apk and it wont push. I've extracted the folder and renamed it mms.apk and it just pushes all the files. Named it Mms.zip and it pushed the file over as a zip.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
Just delete everything after ".apk", do not extract the package.
[G1 Android Development] El Daddy:
I just tried that again i got cannot stat 'mms.apk' :no such file or directory.

EDIT: Maybe it has something to do with XP automatically adding the .zip extension?

EDIT2: I put it on my sd and renamed it with OI File Manager then installed it. Looks great! Thanks rgv151!
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
ya, that's right. Windows is automate hide known extension by default.

Follow this introduction to show file extensions in Windows: http://www.fileinfo.com/help/windows-show-extensions.html
[G1 Android Development] El Daddy:
Thanks again man. I really dig the black background. One thing i noticed is when i receive a text and pull down the notification window there is the "sd card removed" icon instead of the envelope icon.
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
hmm, there is something wrong with the theme you are using.
[G1 Android Development] El Daddy:
i pushed the .apk again. fixed the problem
[G1 Android Development] DirectMatrix:
I followed this little tutorial as I was having the same problem with .zip being auto appended. Worked like a charm! Nice app, I love the icon :D
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
The OP doesn't mention anything about Hero roms.

Does this work on HTC Hero roms? Thanks!! Good stuff!
[G1 Android Development] smackiesfunkies:
dunno how possible it is

but one thing I loved about bitesms on my iPhone is when ur in another app and get a txt a window pops up over ur app so u can quick reply

basically send/reply txts without leaving ur current app

prolly a lot of work but jus throwin it out there :]

thanks for what u done already!
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
You can use the app SMS Popup for this feature. or Handcent sms has it built in. :cool:

[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
i would have never known this if it wasnt for you. thanks for this. and great app by the dev.
[G1 Android Development] DirectMatrix:
Just for the record, this is now included in Cyanogen's latest 3.9.3 ROM so if people are going to do the update to his latest build, there is no reason to push the new Mms.apk file....
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
And I *love* the icon :cool:
[G1 Android Development] ScottGood:
I just noticed the icon, now that you said something. you are right, that's great, I'm loving it too.
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
ya, a little secret.. the icon. glad you guys *love* it ;)
[G1 Android Development] kingskidd268:
I did it

I push the "08/01/2009, Signature/Auto-append signature, and a little secret " it dont work on hero...
[G1 Android Development] meoshe:
su
Mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm -r /system/app/Mms.apk
cp /sdcard/Mms.apk /system/app
reboot

That's what I used in terminal after renaming the dl file with linda file manager to Mms.apk and putting it into the root of the sdcard. Worked like a charm.

P.s. running cyanogen 3.6.8.1
[G1 Android Development] herbjr:
Hero uses a different Mms.apk. You can not use this on hero.
[G1 Android Development] creid2352:
Just downloaded and realized the apk is currently in the ZIP format..will this work if I push as: adb push Mms.apk.zip /system/app ?
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
you have to remove everything after ".apk" extension, and the package name must be "Mms.apk"
[G1 Android Development] constellanation:
Thank you for this, it's worth it just for taking off the send on enter. how many typos have i sent mid message when trying to delete? a lot.

and i just want to second the vote for customizing the text message led!

I'll be honest i'm not sure why it's not stock to customize the leds for most programs with notifications, but that's another topic.
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
As cojonesx requested, I added LED color customization and vibrate is on the way. Just wait for next release.
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
How about a counter for the number of SMSes sent, if possible, set a day (per month) that it'll be resetted? Something like 3G Watchdog's data counter but for SMSes? Also, it will be awesome if we could see the number of characters typed, and the number of smses that will be sent for that one message (160 char limit).

Also, it will be good if you could make the trackball flash the white light (perhaps include it as a separate option for LED notifications) for the HTC Magic.

Thank you for the hard work! :)
[G1 Android Development] chitownboi24:
can you please make an apk file

[G1 Android Development] pauldacheez:
Hey, would you mind changing the character counter so it shows up at 140 or less, not 150? Causes length problems when tweeting via txt (and Twidroid for me is horrible).
