Using deactivated Epic as a media/app device?

I really don't even know how to search for this because the only device I know of that I could compare the functionality I want is the iPod Touch. I moved to Verizon a while back and got the Galaxy Nexus. What I would like to do with my Epic is remove all of the phone functions and leave it as a WiFi capable device similar to the iPod Touch so that my son can use it to watch videos and play games. I keep airplane mode turned on, but I keep getting some notification about voicemail not working and I would prefer it to not be able to accidentally dial 911 since Sprint is required to allow that call if the phone tries to send it.
Are there any ROM's that do this, or is it easy to remove the necessary files? I currently have ACE2.0 flashed, and I love it, but I will switch if I need to.

Didn't someone just post this exact same thing? Delete dialeractivity.apk and there will be no dialer.

Sorry, I didn't see any threads that I thought were the same question. Does that take care of the voicemail notification too?

I found this when looking for something similar for a used Fascinate.
I haven't tried it yet, but intend to when I get some time in a couple weeks...
Looking at the package it deletes several apks and installs a "radiooptions" binary that gets run via script at boot-up.

Want to remove SMS 10 Recipient Limit

Why is there a 10 recipient limit of sending out SMS messages?
I regularly send out SMS messages to 30+ people and on the S3 I am forced to send out the same message 3 or 4 times to all my group contacts.
Is there a mod i could flash that would remove this limit? I prefer not having to use a 3rd party sms app.

Unless I misread, I thought Clarks rom had it.

That method is not going work. What I want to do is send a mass text or picture to more than 10 at a time. I want to open my mms app select every contact and not see that annoying you reached the 10 recipient limit message
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.

On tw based ROMs go to system/csc in root explorer or any other file mgr with root permission. Open feature.xml and find the line that says <cscFeature_Message_RecipientLimit>10< change it to whatever and save changes. Reboot

Here is what I've found it's already set to 100 but I'm only allowed to pick 10 recipient

I couldn't find the line on system/csc/feature.xml
Edit:
Also that path is not working, I added the line to the system/csc/feature.xml file. Reboot after addition.
Result: Not working.

No news?

My rom has this feature

There might be a third party app that allows this? Gosms? I'm guessing it is a anti spam prevention method or a network limitation thing. Just a guess though.

Gah! I just ran into this on my GN2 that I've had for barely 1 week. My old S720C running 2.3.6 would allow up to 20 contacts per group msg. Now, I'm limited to 10. I have at least 20 in a group I need to send team updates to, but have to break it into two different group messages to send. What a PITA this is.
How can I work around this on the stock rom?

I think group messaging is a new feature added to the md4 build but I'm not sure.

I was also having the same problem with this. I did the feature stated above and mine was already set for a 1000. So I went back to verify and it still did not work. I was hoping to avoid a third party app for this issue, just so that I do not used up necessary space. When I had the Moto Droid, I think I used Handcent, but after root I was able to do it without it I think? Its been a while since I have used that phone.

Can't delete message thread !!!

So I'm not sure if the recent Jelly Bean update had anything to do with this but I can't seem to delete this particular message thread in my inbox !!! Anyone else experience this ???
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

How many texts are in it?

There are none in it. It's just my contacts name, then when you click on it to open, it opens a blank text message asking you to enter the recipient. Then when I try deleting it, my phone lags a bit and then I get an error message stating "unfortunately messaging has stopped". It is so frustrating!!!
Then the message thread appears in my inbox again

dmarco,
I have not seen this issue myself as described, but it's near impossible to really help beyond that without any idea as to what ROM is running (if not stock).
Are you able to backtrace any steps to a point where it didn't do this?

I'm on stock actually and unrooted still, I have no freaking clue what gives here. The worse part is that it's a female classmate of mine whose thread I can't delete and I'm a little uneasy that my wife might see that, think there is something going on between us (which there isn't) and shoot me while I'm sleeping!!! LoL

dmarco,
It sounds like some obscure corruption, or an update if one did occur on your phone didn't go as smoothly as it should have.
I wish I could offer more of an answer, but if a resolution is needed quickly before your significant other becomes a significant suspect in a murder case, you could try a factory reset after backing up what you can of pictures etc.

Thanks for your help, I truly do appreciate it. Perhaps I could clear data or force stop the messaging app and see if that helps. Will that cause any serious issues to arise later though. Because it warns not to do so, so I'm just wondering... would you suggest that?
P.S. I honestly don't think she would kill me, I'm more than convinced that she would shoot to wound only. lol...seriously

Try going through app settings and clearing data and cache for messaging. Other than that factory reset might be your only other option

The only way I've remedied something similar is to clear data and wipe cache/dalvik but without a custom recovery Iono how. Last ditch effort is if you have root you can delete the database file with ALL your texts in it. I had to do this. Because I had 20k texts and it froze whenever I tried to delete.

Euroskank Jellybro 10.1 ROM

I was trying to figure out why I can't find developer options in my settings on the cm 10.1 skank 12-15 nightly ROM. I ask because when in use titanium backup it says settings may cause problems and to make sure debugging is enabled and I can't find developer options to do so. Any help would be appreciated. I would post this in the ROMs forum but I can't post in there so sorry in advance

thanks man would never have thought to even do that and have been going crazy as to where it was lol

Also I have another question. My voicemail seems to have this weird setup where I get a text message saying weird email addresses have left me a voice message. I am OCD about stuff like that is there anyway yo just get it back to just normal setup still running the same skank nightly
Hey Laser Lips, your momma was a snow blower

I believe thats a glitch. If I'm not mistaken you'll only see that once or twice after flash then it wont happen anymore. Any time I've ever had that come up there was never actually a vmail either

Well I've gotten a few voice mails and it seems that its no longer sending a text with a weird email but now it sends a text with the phone number and name of the contact saying they have left me a voice SMS. I'm trying to get it back to where it just shows up the lil voicemail symbol in the status bar

[Q] Big problem with messaging app after 4.1.2

Alright on my xperia S right after update the messaging app became so painfully bad. It saves drafts of messages that i already sent so everytime i come back to a conversation i end up deleting my last message first. And sometimes it just says "sending message" and just stays there. The only way to unfreeze it is to go into apps and force stop or restart the phone, both options are extremely annoying. I dont really want to deal with a non stock messaging app so if somebody knows how to fix this problem please let me know
Btw im really sorry if im posting this in a wrong place, feel free to move it anywhere it belongs
