Is there any app that can send an apk via sms? If so would the receiving party also need to have that app installed? (My guess is yes but thought I'd ask) & before someone says just send it via email or bluetooth..yes I know about those methods but I'm looking to send it specifically via sms.
The only way i know of would be to upload to dropbox then send a link. Pretty sure you cannot send an actual apk

you cant file transfer over sms sadly. would be a great feature though. Our phones become more n more like computers every year and i think at some point we will be able too. Or im just to hopefull
Thanks guys, I figured that much. Hopefully in the near future it'll be something we can do.
Try the : apk extractor.. That app might let you do what your trying to do if any app can do it its this one

Hmmm ... sms is a text based service .... so normaly there is no way to transfer files. You could try mms and sending the apk as a jpg or something. This may work.

I had the same problem, i contacted my service provider (vodafone) and after 20mins of them doing something on my phone (and a small charge for the service) MMS messages are all go
You must turn on the internet, turn off firewall, and tune your phone.
Thnx for the advise guys!!! I didnt have the conversations.apk and was using handcent and i guess it doesnt work with that app anymore. Now im using go sms pro andit works great.

I figured out how to send, now someone needs to help me figure out how to receive.
To send all you need to is download "Go SMS Pro" from Market and go to settings and configure it. You'll be able to send , but not receive. If anybody gets the receive working post it here, share as I am.

Looking for an sms app that can report back to me when a message i sent has been read by the receiver. Need this for work been looking all day and havent found it.
Handcent says its does this but everyone giving feedback on that app are saying horrible things about missing text/not receiving text. I installed this and tried it sending about 30 text and 2 werent received until like 10 minutes later
Gosms - not sure if it does have this capability looked at the details of what this app does and didnt mentioned it did.
smspop up- doesnt do it just gives a delivery report. Which is understandable since this is just to make your sms pop up.
theres another one cant remember the name of it but the recipient has to have the app installed as well and has to be sent from that app.
Anyway to make the stock app do this?
**Mod's Delete if you want or merge but i searched over and over on this site and other sites and did not find the answer. Posted on here instead of general android app because this is the phone i use so im always looking at this thread.
Just use Kik messenger and get all your friends to join. It is live messaging and shows when messages are read. Just a thought, not exactly what you wanted as it doesn't work for SMS. A cool thing is it also tells you if they are typing.
Not sure if Handcent does that or not.

the thing is i need that feature for the text i send to coworkers.
i use chomp sms and it has read notifications fully integrated and working

It won't work with normal texts. Kik/all those other apps are able to show when messages are read because they're internet-based.
Only certain carriers allow it. Not sprint .

gonna take a look at that app. does it have issues with not receiving or taking too long to receive a text.
Edit: looked at the feedback and many complaining about not receiving text and many not being able to send messages but I guess ymmv

I use sms backup+ and it saves all texts to my Google account.

You can use Google Voice to have a copy sent to an email. Or use Texter Plus if your sprint and willing to pay 2.99 a month for the service. But you can save reply or delete remotely with Texter Plus.

With Google Voice, you can also route all your SMS through it...making all your texts you send/receive viewable on acomputer real-time....also does some other neat stuff.
i backed it up but i cant find the texts on my gmail account. where would they be? thanks again

Click SMS in the list of folders in your Gmail account. All texts will be backed up and shown on the right. You can import them into your phone whenever, like if you flash a new ROM but want your text history imported. The only limitation is MMS.

thats not what im asking. the message center number for at&t is different for t-mobile so if this is for t-mobile only then it changes the message center number making it impossible to send and recieve texts on my at&t phone with out having to call in and get the right one back. if it keeps my phones sms settings and just pretty much themes it then no worries but if its built to run on t-mobile and has t-mobile defaults then it changes the number and then puts anyone not on that service out by having to re obtain the right number. sorry to get all technical but id much rather remove and install rather than to do both and then call at&t to fix it so i can send messages.
It will work with att perfectly fine. And everything works including MMS. Your needs to be rooted and you need to delete your original messaging system app before you install the new one and another cool thing about this app is that it will change with 90% of themes you put on your phone and most SMS /MMS mods won't I'm sure you will not be disappointed with this app ..

awesome, im going to insdall it and give an update aftr i mess with it a bit. thanks for the work its greatly apreciated as is all the work we have done to our phones by anyone that is capible of doing so.
definitely not working... says it cannot install
Did you delete you stock system messaging app first then install it it will work if you uninstall you stock system messaging app first I used root tool box pro it worked great
Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium HD app
if it wont install just delete the stock app copy this one after you download it and move it to system/app then reboot. i had to but after i removed the stock one i didnt reboot before i tried installing this one. but its as simple as moving it if it wont install. works fine for me and looks really good on this phone.
Does the quick reply still show up with this installed? I love that thing but I like the black window.
