Hi!
after countless FCs from the stock email app, when trying to open new emails, i finally found a better solution for removing sms from call logs.
not the LogsProvider.apk should be modded, but instead the Contacts.apk
i modded the Contacts.apk from OMEGA 11 ICS stock rom
which is a XWLP8 rom
!! try at your own risk !!

!! try at your own risk !!
update: new version now fully works! settings are saved
after install you need to REBOOT!
if you use it, then please provide some feedback.
thanks.
assuming this needs renaming to contacts.apk and then pushing via root explorer etc you dont actually explain how to install this or apply this a guide helps!

no need to rename this file.
rename or delete your original Contacts.apk, then copy this file to /system/app/ with rootexplorer. thats it

does not work still shows when you send a message it shows under all messages Im using ICS LPS
biggest flaw is i can no longer delete the logged SMS sent either
install
go to /system/app with rootexplorer
remount filesystem R/W
then rename Contacts.apk to Contacts.apkx
then copy the modded file to /system/app (no need to rename it)
finished

that does not make sense. either it shows, or it doesn't.
if you can't delete them, they don't show.
if they show, you can delete them.
please post screenshots

Whoa, nice hear that!
Just a question.. : what s nu in this?
I see any sources attached and I didn t try this Contact apk yet.
Will download and try, and above all I ll study differences, I am too curious about.
Anyway.. posting the sources surely will make devs give u credits properly.

More info for the users:

you dont need to delete the entries.
does anybody know what happens if you have too much log entries??
the problem is already in samsung stock contacts.apk!
stock email app puts entries for new emails in the database of logsprovider.apk (you can check it with sqlite)
but contacs.apk does not show it ever in the call-logs view.
so email can fill up your database, and you have no (normal) way to delete it.
therefore i say it does not matter if the same happens to sms-logs.
i just would like to find out what happens, if you have 2000 smslogs inside your database and 300 emails logs.
will it crash? will it auto purge old entries? what ? what?

still the hack of logsprovider.apk has bugs and is not done correctly.

I think the 2 ways are good, just like you said it needs to be done correctly.
You try to hide logged sms, and Homam's one try to disable sms logging.
Anyway, good work karl999999, i ported it to my Blue ICS themed lp4, it's working great (with aosp email).
Best point for your mod is that it will hide also all previous received sms .
Get it from attachment, you have to restore stock LP4 LogsProvider.apk (attached too) if you want to test it.
acutally hiding is not really what i wanted
i want the menu to work, only the startup default to be set at "show only calls"
(instead of "all protocols")
but then i have found out, that the stupid phone.apk seems to change the value at random times.
what i will do in the next version, is that the menu will actually work, and you can delete old logs normally.
if that is possible, that is
PS: what would be even better is, if the call log screen could also show those damn emails. the logs ARE in the database. the damn app just does not show them. (as i said before, i wonder what happens if you have 2000 email logs in the database, and you have no way of deleteing them?)
this one seems to fully work now, and save the settings to preference file.
after pushing the file to /system/app you MUST REBOOT, because its not zipaligned yet. (maybe i will fix this later)
please test and report back here ...

I meant was missing 3 xml in layout related to sms showing. Well you are actually hiding sms
I am sure you ll improve your mod, for the moment i ll keep using logsprovider mod, for our rom (Simplistic lite and Disaster) we had no complaint about email client ;-)
Regards and go on working ;-)
Hope u understand my bad english

nice work mate! it would be great if you enable to send the group sms to send to more that 10 people. It would come handy for sms junkies. you will just have to edit a value in "mms_config" xml. It would be a great addition. just my two cents....

Sounds awesome and would save having to use 3rd party messing apps. Has anybody tried this yet and how is it installed? Is it just simply a case of installing the .apk file or does it need copying into the system/app folder?

You probably wont be able to add any, you can change the current ones by editing the apk, signing it then installing it. Once you open up the apk (with 7zip, winrar etc.) look inside the drawable-hdpi folder. Thats probably where the emoticons are kept.

Or do the modded versions allow adding additional GIF'S to be added to the instant messenger?

yes i have tried it, but it's useless since the recipient of the emoticon should have the "moded" version too, so that he could see the emoticon

But then, I'm not able to install it (even after uninstalling previous version). An error saying 'Application not installed' shows.
How can I modify .apk files (in terms of replacing only the smiley image files) & repack it into proper .apk file so that I'll be able to install it without any error?

Good idea, but not practical
In order to install an apk, it must be properly signed and with a password that only the developers know. If you own the app though, you will still need to to decompile and recreate the apk structure by turning the directories of the zip into an android structure, since the compiling will change pretty much everything.
Worst part of it all, if you somehow manage to change and install the app, only you will be able to see it since only the apk installed on your phone has those custom emoticons.
Cheers :good:
how do I put emoticons on viber /whatsapp for sell
Just get your friends to use wechat, has all the emos in the world. Whatsapp is crap
First you need an AOSP based rom. I used the latest CM 10.1 so I could have Quick Reply, emojis, and mms group messaging. Not sure if this works with other AOSP roms, but it should.
You're going to need three files from the AOSP rom:
/system/app/MMS.apk
/system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk
/system/framework/mms-common.jar*
*(the files we need may be in framework.jar if the rom you're using doesn't have this file)
and two files from your TW rom:
/system/app/SecTelephonyProvider.apk
/system/framework/framework2.jar (make sure it's framework2.jar)
Now decompile everything except MMS.apk. That one's fine as is.
Now we're going to move some files around.
First is framework2.jar and mms-common.jar
Delete /smali/com/google/android/mms in framework2.jar. Yes the entire folder.
Now we're going to take the folder
Code:
/smali/com/google/android/mms
from mms-common.jar and copy/move it to the framework2.jar folder
Code:
/smali/com/google/android/mms
Now is SecTelephonyProvider.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk
Navigate to the following folder in TelephonyProvider.apk:
Code:
smali\com\android\providers\telephony
and copy the following files:
Code:
MmsProvider.smali
MmsSmsDatabaseHelper$LowStorageMonitor.smali
MmsSmsDatabaseHelper.smali
MmsSmsProvider.smali
SmsProvider.smali
Copy them to the following folder in SecTelephonyProvider.apk:
Code:
smali\com\android\providers\telephony
Recompile framework2.jar and SecTelephonyProvider.apk.
Place MMS.apk and SecTelephony.apk in /system/app/
Place framework2.jar in /system/framework/
Delete SecMms.apk from /system/app/
If you try to use Messaging at this point, it will probably open, but MMS won't work.
Now the most important part!
Note: This will delete all of you messages so make sure you back them up!!!!!!
On your device, navigate to
Code:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
and delete the three files:
Code:
mmssms.db
mmssms.db-shm
mmssms.db-wal
You should now have a fully functional AOSP MMS!
Here's some other MMS apps that should work with this:
Note: Flash these AFTER this mod.
Android 4.2.1 Bubble MMS.apk quick Emoji + Popup!(Thanks msk for the link)
I've attached a flashable zip for LK3, but be warned IT WILL WIPE ALL OF YOUR MESSAGES!!!!!
UPDATE: I updated the zip to remove the stock messaging app. I believe that's why some people were having issues. Thanks boostmx.
UPDATE(1-24): Added revert to restore stock TW MMS. It will also wipe your messages so backup!
UPDATE(1-26): It seems as though group messaging is still hit or miss. From sparkerjc:
Just to clarify this, since I got PM about it: The 1-18 version of cm10.1 has working group MMS, therefore to complete the mod that framework should be considered safe to pull from. However, even with that framework group messages from some iPhones (apparently iPhone 4) show up blank in Touchwiz Roms on Verizon. Not sure about AT&T but since this is the thread getting the views, I'm posting it here.
Secondly, there seems to be some confusion regarding "Working mms" MMS is not just pictures, in the group messages the apps convert text to be sent as MMS to more then one recipient. So while "MMS is working", sometimes "group texts sent as mms" may not be working. Every group text will be sent as mms, but not every mms is a group message. Make sense?
Cool.

UPDATE(03-03): Updated flashable zips with latest CM 10.1 build. Also included one that doesn't wipe messages.
loserskater said:
When going from TW > AOSP or from AOSP > TW you need to remove the messaging databases because they need to be recreated otherwise you'll have FCs. So use the "Wipe messages" zip. But if you already have AOSP and just want to upgrade to the latest one, you don't need to remove the databases so use the "Non wipe messages" zip..

That would be my biggest thing. And I'm sure it doesn't. It's stupid for it to not wake the screen if you get a message. Not so bad on this phone with a LED indicator, but on my S2, it drove me insane.
This looks awesome, thanks for this! Going to do this later so I can have 4.2 MMS and group messaging on my Beans ROM. I love AOSP but I hate the bugs so I stick with TW and theme it like AOSP.
This works beautifully! Thank you!!
First off, THANK YOU Loserskater for taking the time to figure this out and share it with us! This is the only thing missing to make my TW rom complete.
I'm new to this whole thing so I've never decompiled anything before. Any forum/website recommendations regarding how to go about the decompiling process?

Flashed this on CSROM and get a FC. Deleted the files. D/L again. Reflashed. Still no go.

Did you try a dalvik cache wipe after flashing?
Since the Mms.apk is not modified, does this mean any 4.2 mms will work by dropping it in? Specifically I like inverted mms, so is there one that would work with this?

I really dig that ics colored icon, is there a way to change it within the app as opposed to using something like desktop visualizer? I'm looking for it to install that icon by default.
I know i can decompile the apk and change it that way. But I'm prepping to do a reinstall on my pc and don't want to install an apk tool till after.
If not that's cool, just figured I'd ask

i dont think u can change the Icon of the Messages app ... the icons come from Framework-res.apk .. you have to change it there or use a theme :good::fingers-crossed:
Here's another hmm for y'all. And I'll mention that I pulled the native mms apk from the phone first.
Does anybody have the app going back to the light colors after a reboot? I still have the native apk but it's on my sd card. So I can't see where it could be influencing the dark apk. But sure as the sun rises in the east, when I have to reboot for some reason it reverts. If I reinstall the dark apk it all goes back to what is supposed to be, and I retain all my messages. Just curious if it's just me. Or something I did
Oh, figured out how to get the ics icon to show on your homescreen.
Before you flash your Rom, go into system/app and pull the green mms.apk, and replace it with the dark version. When the phone boots it'll use that apk and viola. Ics icon and dark mms.
Hope this helps somebody. Personally I think the dark version actually sends the msgs faster. Maybe it's in my head, but it sure felt that way,
Update: for clarification, this needs to be done on your pc. Don't have to unzip the file or anything, just open it as you would a normal file/folder. I is definitely say to do this before transferring the Rom file to you device. It seems to take forever otherwise. Plus one on the phone, it seems you can't change the name of the file. Which I'd definitely recommend. Just name it "mms.apk" the device seems to take care of the permission stuff itself.

Using root explorer you can just paste it into the system/app folder, also if you use Titanium backup then once its installed you can incorporate the update into the rom. This means it will always boot with your new .apk
I have just installed the BlackOut clear theme with mms.apk and all the rest. You can install all the zips etc for GAPs as well

That's interesting.I was using smanager to do the same thing. But whenever I'd rebootthe phone it would revert to the native style. The only way I've gotten it to stick permanently is with the method I mentioned before

You need to rename and redo the permissions as well, but all that can be done on phone with root explorer.

Just replacing the one in the Rom with the dark one and flashing the Rom did it for me. No permission stuff, just renamed it. And flashed the Rom. aside from pulling the native app from the Rom zip. That is
Lol...y'all jinxed me. It's showing everywhere but on the homescreen in blue.

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads is where I got mine from, there is a little variation from rom to rom but generally pretty mint. Plenty of dark gapps in there as well, I used most of the 4.4 ones in the SlimRom except for the camera which I got from a normal google apk.
I'm working on a apktool guide so you could always read and use that :angel: .
Do you want direct links for apk only to save bandwidth? or are the rom files fine?
Thanx for sharing!!!... But i cant find mms.apk anywhere... Is it in rom zip??? If yes, plz if u have, can u share the direct links for apk...

Hi Rohov, its in the rom.zip all the mms.apk s are in the /system/app folder. You can use any zip program to open them and pull the apks out. Once they are on your phone you may need to change the permissions to -r -rw -rw itll make sense in the root browser if not post me.
Here as requested is my current fav mms.apk tho.
