Hello all
I have recently updated my phone with a new theme and now my messaging app does not work. The app loads, however when sending the message there is a forced close and the message does not send. The theme installed also has the HTC messaging app with a few tweaks. I think that the installed app and the new themed messaging app are conflicting, resulting to a forced close, but do not know for certain, can someone please help
The themed app will be installed over the old app, so theres only the themed one. Which theme did you use?
Thanks for your reply bud,
I used the eskodroid theme, which was in the themes section. I asked the dev, but he was not certain what the problem was but advised that one of his friends also had the same problem when they installed the theme

So are you getting a fc every time you use the messaging app?l
well, i can actually load the messaging app, however as soon as i press the send button there is a forced close and the message is undelivered.
Disclaimer--- this is simply a thread to discuss and rant about issues with wifi calling related to MMS sending and retrieval as well as blurry mms. This is also to keep it in one place rather than on other posts where it becomes unrelated to the original topic. I have tested sending MMS through stock, hand cent, and go SMS and am unable to send pictures. This said I am using kl1 deodexed rom by whitehawx. This is just the beginning of my research and observation. Another user (docmjldds) mentioned that it was working on zombie rom but only using hand cent. Please post what roms you have tested and whether or not sending over wifi calling works for you. Also post what SMS app you are using and what file size it was also. Screenshots help but keep them G rated. Also post whether the pics where blurry. If it helps post what types of mms mods you have flashed. I will clean this up more when I get to a computer and update the list... please feel free to rant and rave. Just don't take it personal.
You can help research by posting the following:
1.) Rom you are using and version
2.) Kernel you are using
3.) Any mods, scripts, etc.
4.) Using wificalling only, NOT 4g, attempt to send MMS to yourself or other person using either
1.) Stock Rom
2.) Other sms app (please state which one works)
3.) State whether or not it DID or DID NOT compress the image when sending and if it failed, or when receiving if it ends up blurry.
My rom:
Deodexed KL1 by Whitehawx. Using Fauxkernel 07b5 default with no scripts or mods added.
[stock mms app] = unable to send large pictures but can send decent size. Takes more than 10 minutes for me to send. Compresses the images right away.
[Go Sms and Handcent] able to send regular sized pictures but not large ones >1mb. Still took 10 minutes to send. Compression occurred.
Did not notice any blurriness from the pictures that I did receive.
Updated List for ROMS able to send MMS/Large sized MMS, etc
--ZombieRom 3.0 Thank you Docmjldds for the heads up on this info.
Updated List for tweaks, mods, tricks to get MMS to send.
--Will update as people post.
Thanks for your contribution. I will post better screenshots of pictures sent and received.
I can send through Go SMS ...
I am running a mishmash of ROM's I threw together myself, I know not much help
It is 2.3.6 with KL1 ...
Using the alternate APN but transferred all the MMS settings to the new APN ...
I can send while on Wi-Fi with wifi calling enabled, BUT, it does seem to take a very long time ...
yes it helps. I noticed I sent one large pic about 200 KB and the other was less. After ten mins I got a link to download the smaller of the two. The bigger failed. No blurriness though. I got notifications from all the SMS apps with the smaller pic.

Not going to repeat the same old same old. I will simply watch and learn what others state. Until I see otherwise, I only ask users to try every ROM 2.3.6 based and tell me if they can specifically send and receive with the following parameters
1. Use WiFi calling enabled. I am NOT interested in 4G. That's NOT the issue here.
2. Be able to enable 1.0Mb file sizes to send with MMS and NOT have files shrink to 16-26Kb file sizes.
3. Not have to R+R any mms.apk files from one source to get around blurry mms issues.
Now, based on these parameters, I am simply going to make the following statement regarding what works for me and specifics. For those that have already heard me say this, hold your ears please since many users here may not have had the misery of reading my prior posts.
I have found that consistently only one ROM here for our model works. I have no idea on why. I am only stating to try the following.
The Zombie based ROM, currently 3.0 version here. Install per OP directions. Then install Handcent SMS third party app. It's the only app that works consistently for me where I can send large sized MMS files (350-950Kb sized) using WiFi calling enabled. It should only take a few seconds to send. And yes, these are the sizes received. I am using 2-3Mb pictures I take with our phone, using the 1.0Mb MMS settings for sending in the Handcent preference setup for MMS. You can use the stock message app to read the same file, AFTER it is first received with Handcent, BTW. Oh, like GoSMS Pro, you don't have that arrow showing in the mms file as if it's a video file you are seeing, BTW. I have seen this asked by others. But Handcent does not give that message "Unable to send. Wait till Network is available message". GoSMS Pro does give that message for me.
I have posted enough screen shots on various development threads so I won't clutter up the post here. If users ask, I will post to prove that with the ROM mentioned and Handcent, it works, but I cannot get this to work with any other ROM. Again, NOT 4G and not 16-26KB file sizes that I am interested specifically in.
1) didn't use 4g
2.) File over 1mb did not com press with hand cent nor go SMS but did with stock. I couldn't test what file size it was received as because large file never was sent.
3.) Did zombierom dev state what specific tweaks mods or scripts he used that other 2.3.6 roms. Don't have in them?
4.) I will have more time tomorrow so I can flash zombie and see if I can duplicate the same as you.
Thanks

Before 3.0 just posted it basically has been a plain Jane ROM much the same as the Original MrX first 2.3.6 or Whitehawk 2.3.6 ROM. No themeing to speak of. In fact, it doesn't even have the 13-14 toggle above the notification area. I would have to look at the original change-logs to see specifically what exact tweaks etc may have been incorporated. AFAIK, nothing at all different from the others. I can only add that I routinely change to the Faux kernels since I want BLN support, and the kernel he uses for stock doesn't offer it. But Kernels never played any role in what made this work or not work. Just an fyi.
Do you think kernel has anything to do with it? I would be very surprised to find out. Plus, I want to know why my wife's Mytouch 4g is able to send any type of picture, text quickly with good results?? whats different about HTC's wifi calling than ours? I know hers is activated by an actual app like other legacy wifi calling phones still do. I wonder if the way it is now implemented messes with sending MMS.

My wife also has a MyTouch4G and I believe it really has something to do with the newer implementation used by our style WiFi calling. I know that TMobile has already acknowledged to me it's an issue they are looking at. I really have a feeling they know they are intentionally overcompressing on the newer models like our SGS2. The Sensation I used to use also was on the older standard and worked just fine, as long as the model and brand name was correct in the build.prop files. Kernel is NOT an issue. I have basically tested every Kernel there is with all the ROMs. Zombie consistently works with any of them. Anecdotal here, the Revolution ROM that I believe is retired because of some XDA issues with the Developer, also did work, like the Zombie ROM too, but I am going on another close friend here that remembers it worked for him.
When I get the time, I have several programs that can do a file by file comparison. Takes a lot of time, but that's the only way I know of to see what is different from the base that Zombie is using vs the others. My feeling is it's a source files used issue. Just a guess.
EDIT:
PS... I have all the older files for the legacy method here along with the necessary build.prop edits that are required to make that older HTC method work. Not sure it will even be worth it, but I am going to try adding that stuff, lib files and APK and edits to see if it's even possible to use the older wifi calling.
It may also mean also going back to Android 2.3.5 base. I'm pretty ADD about this subject. I just need to find the time
Sounds like that too. I hope they fix it. It looks like you have more time than I do for testing. Ill be getting my new white one tomorrow so that means rerooting and installing everything again.
Edit-.saw your edit. That would be great if you could get that working.

Just to show how lame TMobile support is, out on their tech Forums they are basically telling users NOT to even have wifi calling enabled. Below is a stock answer I see this mod. posting to everyone with issues complaining about this subject.
Being a retired bum, I do have some time on my hands. I can think of better ways to spend it, but this is one nut I really would like to crack. But at least there's a method on a particular ROM that does work. So deoending on importance of this feature will dictate what any user wants in a given ROM. BTW, don't know why the Zombie developer is placing his beta stuff outside of XDA, but there are references to links. Latest 3.1.1 includes update for the multiple toggles above notification area. Just an FYI...NOT...again NOT trying to be a Troll, but I can see how I can be accused, by now
IF...other ROMs would work, I would have no reason to state what to use...really...

Correct AnswerRe: MMS will not download while WiFi is enabled...
Hi!
Let me first thank you for being part of our community! We are happy to have you here and love to see you as an active participant. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee any of your services will work over the wi-fi network. Not being able to both send and receive MMS over wi-fi is an issue that can be slightly common.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to reply to this message or contact any member of the staff. Thank you and have a great day!

1.) Juggernaut 4.1
2.) Faux .007
3.) ICS Mod
4.) No matter what the file size no MMS will come through while I am connnected to wifi calling. If I disconnect and switch to 4G it will go through provided it has synced with Google.
1.) Stock SMS App doesn't work. Neither does GOSMS which is my go to texting app.
2.) See above.
3.) Fails completetly on download or upload.
Hope this helps!
Haven't tried zombie but the only rom I have tried that lets me send and receive mms while using wifi is when I'm on complete stock with root of course but its not really too much of a hassle to just switch wifi off if needed while using jugs 4.1 if it ever does get too annoying I always keep a backup of my stock just in case... So I know it has to be something that's been removed from the custom roms that keeps the phone from auto switching to data from wifi when using mms

IT basically verifies what my claims have been. Something about the Zombie Rom is different to allow MMS to work correctly as long as Handcent is being used. I used Tmoble_SGH-T989UVKL1_Stock_Rooted.zip as a base 2.3.6 to compare with the latest Zombie ROM although versions of this ROM have always worked. Using a program that actually does a great job of side by side taking files withing a given folder to compare with another source of given files. All of the folders basically used the same exact files. The few times lets say that one ROM used a slightly different version lets say of wificalling.apk as an example could not break either the working Zombie functionality, nor could using the Zombie based file in the stock ROM would NOT make that ROM work either. IOW I tried to switch files between these two ROMs, to either create a working stock ROM, or break the function of the ZOMBIE Rom. Could not succeed in making or breaking opposing ROMs.
If it as you say it's probably the system framework differs somewhere. Causing mms not to send.

Coming from my nexus one, we needed specidifc kernels built to support wifi calling. Maybe this new wifi calling is implemented different

I am pretty much confident that you are correct it's a framework issue. I have used file comparison programs and rulled out every other source file, such as all of the lib files etc. And it has nothing to do with kernels. I have tested every kernel on all these ROMs and the same results occur, irregardless of kernel.

Nexus one was my first Android too. Bought it the first day of availability to the public, direct from Google back in Jan. 2010. The current Wifi calling is totally a different animal WRT our SGS2 phones. It's more or less based on the Network, itself, the proper Sim Card etc. Unlike the older WiFi calling that uses the Gans lib files and Build.prop edits, this doesn't rely on any of that stuff. And it's also a required Android 2.3.6 min. source. So yes...a totally different implementation.
I know this is an 'older' post but it helped me so here you go:
BeastMOD 5.0 (build Test13)
Sinergy kernel
no mods
The only way I can send mms over wifi is running Handcent. GO and stock wouldn't work. What ever zombie was doing made it's way into Melvins Rom
This issue is fixed in the ics leaks. Rom reconnects.to 4g momentarily to send or receive mms

Hi!
Is there a method for using stock SMS android ics app on official Samsung gs2 ics rom?
The system, whit 4.0.3 version, Is fast and fluid... but samsung SMS app is horrible!
I like phone app...Samsung personalization is beautiful... but not for SMS!

Samsung Messaging has a crappy theme but it's superior to the stock Messaging app.

Superior in what way?
Thanks a lot!
The standard samsung app is better than stock but graphically deviates too much from holo.
I immediately downloaded the application that you have shown me, but unfortunately doesn't work ... After having opened app it crashes.
In particular, he shows me the list of all messages (distinguishing read from unread) but when I try to go into a conversation stops everything.
I use GoLauncherEx on Samsung official 4.0.3 rom. When the application crashes, even golauncher crashes! For a few seconds the screen is all black (it show me only tray bar)!
I know that GoLauncherEx isn't optimized for ics but is the only launcher that lets me create folders in the program list (I have much application and I need it!).
Actually ICS isn't very stable on my device and I'm almost regretting gingerbread!
I can do anything about it?
Thanks again for your support,
I hope one day I'd help forum people.

That is very strange. Which firmware did you install? I installed XEO (polish version) and didn't get a single crash or problem what so ever. I had a few problems in rooting it, though (needed to wipe it first and re-flash the orginial ICS firmware before rooting to get the root rights recognized). But once that got fixed, everything was and still is perfect.
Or maybe it is because of the go launcher ex? I was using TW the entire afternoon (13.03) without crashes. At night I installed Apex launcher as system launcher and no crashes either (one day running), very low battery consumption and awesome looks. You can add the ICS Theme Pack from kovdev to get the ICS icons.
Hello element!
I've installed the XEO firmware, then polish, just like you.
I have not done the wipe but updated via OTA.
I had already installed GoLauncher. When I've upgraded I've selected Golauncher instead of Tw.
Currently I have encountered frequent application crashes and one total block of the system. The battery, to be honest, I can not tell if it lasts more than gingerbread why I used the phone a lot for various customizations.
I do not know if the problem is that I did not do a wipe.
If he continues to give me problems I do a backup. After I install the rom again.
Tonight I remove the battery and after power on. Tomorrow, we'll update on my test.
PS The biggest problem is GoSmsPro. it sends multiple messages at one time. If I send you a message, you will receive two. I do not know how to solve.
PS2 The root I did with Odin and had no problems ...
Thanks for the help,
Hello!
As I promised you I a write updates.
I solved the problem of low stability: I made a deepclean and then installed applications without syncing (I installed all the applications manually).
Now I have one problem, the phone crashes when I try to change the background. If you have any idea: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23727272#post23727272

Hey, check it out: One so called Tim Hutt put the stock calendar, messaging, and launcher app in the market and they all work just fine for me. The apps are called "Android 4 ICS Messaging SMS", "Android 4 ICS Calendar", and "Android 4 ICS Launcher".
The only bug I have (and it's not a big one) is that the screen doesn't light up when you receive a text message... Perhaps this is because I disabled/removed the official Samsung messaging services though... If you leave the default services enabled, then the screen lights up like normal but you have to select a setting in the ICS messaging app to disable the message receiver because then both the Samsung app and the ICS app will both write the text message to the database and you'll have duplicate incoming messages. Just go to settings and scroll to the very bottom to see what I mean... Enable that option if you don't remove the Samsung services/apps.

Evening all.
I've been using LiquidSmooth V1.4, v3.08 Franco.Kernel-nightly-384gpu for months and have only praise for the developers. Amazing ROM, with fantastic functionality, speed and customization. Though I seem to have found a fault with apps that require push and notifications appearing in.the status bar. In that I don't get notifications.
I'll use IMDB and eBay as an example. For new titles or.reviews, or outbid notices and sale notifications. No pop ups appear with their respective sounds or icons. Is this a known error that's been fixed? As I've re-installed LiquidSmooth several times to no effect. But when using Android Revolution etc I have no issues?
I've also narrowed it down to most apps that push data onto the device. Only apps that seem to work are Gmail, Messenger and Facebook? And before you ask which I'm sure it will be. The necesary settings are on within the respective apps like eBay and IMDB!
If it's worth noting. I re-installed all my apps using Titanium Backup including data from previous roms where this function worked with no concern?
Thanks in advance!
well if you have no issues with other roms just change rom? and liquid smooth no longer belongs to the community as they charge money in order to be able to install the rom so... I don't think you will find further support here about that matter with that rom.. or you can go ask them in their forum/website about it...

I am back to TW ROM's for my Note 2, mainly for the insanely great battery life ( 8h On Screen time ), and working Bluetooth audio, and S-Pen Widgets/Apps.
Anyways, I have tried some of the AOSP Messaging Text apps for TW ROM's, and they all seem to have an issue or three ? Three issues seem to be present in some or all of them;
- No Group Messaging
- No Quick Reply
- Sending Pictures force closes, or just don't send at all.
Is there an AOSP Text app, with all of the above working for TW ROM's ? I blame Samsung for not including two very important features, that should have been included in Tocuhwiz 5.0. Why didn't they include Group messaging and Quick reply as a standard stock feature on the Note 2 ? Do we have to wait for a port of Touchwiz 6.0 from the upcoming Galaxy S IV ?
I guess CM10.1 is my only option, for Group texting, and Quick reply, both fully working.
Sucks those don't work on Touchwiz ROM's.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Never played with the stock Touchwiz Text app, does it do Group messaging by default ? If not has there been a revised one, with that enabled ?
My Brothers making fun of me now, we Group text a lot, as I also do with some good buddies. Half of the group have the iPhone5, the other half have the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus-S. All of them can Group text to each other, as could I when running a CM10.1 ROM.
Just blows, Samsung left this feature out in their Messaging App. And I like to run stock apps, the third party ones have issues, like Handcent and Go SMS, etc...And most my buddies don't want to install Whatsapp
