[q]Copy Froyo sms treshold to 2.1

So I thought this was the best place to ask, a lot of people including me truly hate the fact that you can't send sms longer than 3*160 chars with default messaging app but as stated by google this has been fixed in froyo release. Is it possible, (with an update.zip perhaps?) to copy the corresponding files from froyo release to my 2.1 rom?
Thanks in advance

Does JM3 use the Froyo messaging app?
I'm seriously considering using a 3rd party SMS client just to get away from the rubbish Samsung one.

Considering that handset sms and chomp sms are both free and much superior, I cant see why anyone would not install them right away.

Well what is up with the ugly message balloons?
You have to use the stock one to understand.

i use donated chomp sms, and that was almost the first app i installed on my galaxy when i saw the stock one, looks rediciously ugly, and chomp looks awesome with some messing around with the customations and the quick reply popup window is awesome as well!

Picture in Video Form

Why do pictures become videos in the messaging system? Is there any way to change this? Thank you in advance.

I'd like to know a solution to this too. One that doesn't involve rooting or installing handcent/go sms/any other 3rd party messaging app.

I believe this cannot be changed. It has been like this on any smartphone I've had (lots of them)

Yeah its really annoying feature in the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II. The only solution that im aware is using another Messaging App
I'm using Go SMS Pro and its very handing... I definitely suggested over any other 3rd party Messaging App

yea... i wish this phone wasn't like this.. but at same time i love it.

I've had a few and seen plenty of phones without it. This is a new "feature" to me.

The original Mytouch 4G had this same issue before they rolled out the update (which included a fix for this issue), but since we've already received the update to 2.3.6 on the SGS2 our only hope is ICS if we want to continue using the stock messaging app.. which I happen to prefer.. so yeah I'll just deal with it until ICS.

Stock ics messaging app on galaxy s2

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!
thanks for your work...
You are too much important for android community!

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
For the rest new rom does not seem bad ...
Thanks for your help,

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.

Text Message Wake Up Screen?

Hi, I just flashed CM9 and I'm loving it.
The only thing I miss though is the feature
when you had a new text message, it woke up your screen.
Is that possible with CM9& the stock messaging app?
Is there some kind of mod or modded mms.apk or
something that when you get a new message, your screen will light up?
I apreciate the help, but No, I don't want a Third Party SMS app.
I'd like to keep it stock so no "GO SMS, CHOMP, HANDCENT", etc!
Thank you so much!

I would actually suggest a third party messaging app such as gosms pro.
*Very Nice and Extensive List of Features
*Themes
*Private inbox (password protected)
*Emoji plugin for iPhone emotions
And more.
I used to not like third party messaging apps but this one is very well developed.
Btw I do not I'm any way represent the go developers I just like their app

Thank you so much for the reply! But the only reason I flashed this ROM and rooted my phone was to have the stock ics Messaging app. Its so clean and sleek looking! Thank you for your suggestion though.

SMS pop up isn't a messaging app. Its an add on for your stock sms app
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIV

Yeah, I know I was talking about GOSMS. But I installed the one you recommended. I loved it, until I found out that unlocks your screen too. So when it's in my pocket, I can easily butt dial people mess with my phone accidentally. I would re-install that app if it didn't unlock your phone for you. I guess there is just no place like stock. I will be unrooting and going back to ics touchwiz tonight :[

Its works, but if you have BLN, it interferes with it. BLN won't come on if installed.

I'm using cm10, aug22 nightly and tried both applications. they both worked only when the phone is not on silent. but what i really wanted was the screen to turn on when in silent mode. it'll be really useful especially if you don't want the phone to ring or vibrate, yet you want to know that a text came in just by seeing the screen turn on. i'm also using a galaxy s, so i don't have led lights. any other apps i could try?

Thanks, I've tried that, and it works for everything except when my phone is in silent mode... which is the only thing I need. I just need my screen to turn on when I get a text, using jelly bean's stock sms app.

4.1 "Messaging is sending a large number of messages"

Have been getting this since updating to Jelly Bean. Haven't had this problem before. I am trying to have a conversation with the old lady. Anyone have a work around?

Before switching to verizon I had T-Mobile and always had that with me my G1 .. since this is actually a gsm ROM maybe that's where it come from

Can I ask, do you mean that if you try and send 1 text it sends 3 or so, or am I misunderstanding?
BANE

No, he means that if you send a text message, get a response and send a new text message, and sends another one you will get that warning message. It is meant as a security feature if an malacious app is trying to send multiple SMS's you will find out.
Saw a similar thread some days ago, but I don't know if they found a workaround for it or not.

Dude I am getting this to and it annoys the hell out of me I have i9250 with tmo and with ICS it didn't do this and I increased the number of texts for it to save and still does this.... I get this message after every text I was in cm went back to stock for jb and now dealing with this and there is just something about being stock I like better but I cannot deal with this
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Well, it's nothing to do with the amount of messages to store. It's how many messages you send per minute (or something) that causes that message to appear.
Are you using 3rd party messaging app?

i'm having the same issue on my gnex with 4.1 jb ...any work around it ?

Just started to get this today. Super annoying!
BUMP!
How can we disable this message for this app?

Bump.
Have the same "issue" (even if it is not one). When I send two or three messages to one person in a reduced amount of time, the warning message pops.
Not something truly important but it starts to bother me..is it a control integrated in Android itself or just the messaging apk ?

Dammit you beat me to it, this fix does work if you are using most AOSP based roms, for some reason it does not work on Stock JB but so far has worked on any other custom rom ive tried. simply install open up app and accept what its telling you and you are good to go.

Wow, so good, seems to be working on ParanoidAndroid 1.9.92 with the APK. Thanks !

There are ways to remove that notification
There are some custom ROMs that have removed that notification. If you still see it, there are apps on Google Play (like SMS Limit Unlock or SMS limit tool) that can remove that limit completely. Tried both and only the first one worked on my Android 4.2.2 device, so you're welcome to give them both a try.
(And you will need root, of course...)

Set SMS message limit
Try to look under Settings --> Security --> App Security -> SMS message limit
I have it there and have set it successfully to 200.

of course - it is in settings

Great, those settings under personal/security are so well hidden I had somehow managed to set that to "none".
