[MOD][GUIDE] Mms.apk with Sent time/"Unlimited" Contacts adding//No MMS Convert
MMS.apk mod for Samsung Galaxy S II by muveszur (me)
First of all, I have to say Thanks to montymintypie for his work on Galaxy S!!!
Attention! This mod is working only deodexed roms!
I tested on VillainROM 1.1!​
The Mms.apk has the following moddings:
Sent Time displayed instead of the Received Time
No AutoConverting messages to MMS after 4 SMS.
In my mod, it will be converted to MMS after 200 SMS.
Possible to add to the message 200 contacts instead of 20 contacts.

AHA. So that's how you change the time to sent time, rather than received time... I had both these other features, but couldn't find that one.
Nice work

very nice thank u for this !

Thanks for share.
Do you think it is possible to create a mod who disable the 10 contacts limit on sms send ?

This mod is contains too... now the limit is 200

"send time" not working
Hi!
for me it still does NOT show the real sent time.
can anybody confirm?

May I ask how you edit the .xml files? What method or program are you using.
If I am to change just the AutoConverting setting in my own mms.apk file, will this cause me issues as I am still on an odexed rom?

Excuse me, I modified my MMS.apk following your advises .
I still canno't add more than 10 contacts per message.
I have verified the MMS config . xml and the mod is set to 200.
What's wrong ?
Edit : need to clear data for Messaging

Works on Villian Rom 2.0.

hi,
I am trying to make those changes in the official froyo mms sources and another version of mms.apk for my zte blade.
In the file you mention (SmsReceiverService) there is only one match for currentTimeMillis. I cannot find the second reference anywhere.
Could you point the exact class name or part of code where the second change should be made?

Great work!
Noob question, where exactly in settings do i have to go in order to erase the TW Launcher settings?
Thanks in advance..

with stock xwkf3 works just fine.no problem at all

Can anyone with the correct experience update this for the XXKG2 that recently came out, the 2.3.4 and not the 2.3.3

Can someone pick up this mod and prep it for XXKG2 and XXKG3 Odex and Deodex versions?

+1. Can someone please make this work on XXKG2 and odexed? Deodexing messes with browser hardware acceleration

Samsung Stock mms.apk themed to CM9!!!

hey ppl,I tried to use the cm9 mms app on my stock rom,after googlin it seems that it wont work..so i decided to theme the stock mms.apk to look like cm9(well not exactly )
I used the resource files from galaxy nexus dump,and i should say that i used 2 png's from master vertumus ics theme..so the credit goes to him too..
INSTALLATION:
place the mms.apk in system/app...fix permissions and reboot..
Note:i have tested it in LP3,I think it'll work in other roms too..

When I slide the conversation to the left or right, instead of getting "Call" or "Message" I get these weird strings (attached)

Well that looks weird...which rom are u in mate?? try clearing dalvik in recovery..

I'm on my own ROM. I wiped dalvik already, I even tried re-odexing the app, not that that would make a difference.
It's based on LP3 -- so it SHOULD be compatible.

attach your roms mms.apk ill theme it and lets see if that solves this,cuz am on wanam LP3 rom and it works perfectly..

I'm just uploading the odexed apk. The source files aren't there but you should be able to change the files in drawable-hdpi without too much trouble. Let me know if you need it de-odexed so you can actually decompile it

i wont be needing deodexed apk, as i didn't play with the xml and jar files..simple replace of png's..anyway while i was replacing your mms.apk i found out that certain png of yours were 9.png in mine..so i didn't replace them,may be that was the problem..lets see if this works..

CM9 MMS
Is there a way to take the actual CM9 mms.apk and actually replace the existing mms.apk? I'm using MysticPride's v.18 Rom and the MMS is themed in a way that I am not fond of. I'd like the stock MMS or if possible that of the latest CM9 Nightlies. Any response is greatly appreciated.

Here is the deal cm9,ASOP apps wont work on Samsung stock rom and vice verse cuz they have different framework dependencies..but dev's have found a way to port the stock app's but that's on GB,i don't know if it could be implemented to ICS

Thanks!
Thanks for your response. I have actually gone way overboard now for the past three days and have come pretty far getting things the way I wanted. I just ended up installing a different Rom and adding the bootanimation from Mystic along with the latest N.E.A.K. Kernel with overclocking and now my phone is sick and has the stock SMS. The only thing I didn't like about the Mystic SMS was the colors (Anal) I know! The SMS from CM9 is pretty cool in my opinion only because it shows the contact image within the texting screen rather than just as a thread. Whatever though, Thanks for your response and time. I have really learned a lot on here in the past couple days. Very appealing new hobby this Android Development...

Hello!
I like your mms.apk very much, it looks cool. But sad to say I only have a galaxy ace S5830i. I really want to use your mms, though. Can you do one that is compatible for my phone? Please?

[Q] How to change "Sprint" on pull down menu?

I think I saw this done on one of Phantom's ROMS. It said Galaxy SIII instead of Sprint. Is there an APK I can decompile and modify that?

[MOD][HOW-TO]AOSP MMS on JB Touchwiz (Emoji, Quick Reply, 90% Working MMS)

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..

Thank you for sharing this

Not for sure why anyone would want AOSP MMS on TW, but whatever. Lol.
Anyone worried about messages, just download SMS Backup.
Thanks for the share.

Quick Reply, emoji, and mms group messaging are the three I hear most people talk about.

Thanks! This is exactly what I am looking for. Will give it a shot.
Edit: Will yours only work on LK3?

Touchwiz Unread Count
Does this retain the unread counts and lockscreen notifications for messages?

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?

Google baksmali apk. There is an XDA tutorial on how to decompile and compile apks.

Does this require to send MMS twice like the other mod described? Send once, then selected failed mms and forward to complete the sending?

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?

Cleared cache and dalvik. Still no go.
