[Q]Re-Install Stock Messaging App - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I'm going to start off with some background information. I have been using the SMS app Handcent for a little while now, and it has been giving me a lot of trouble with MMS messages with them not sending nor receiving, whereas the stock messaging app could receive them.
Alright, and now we are into where I screwed up... I read that if you made the stock messaging app a user app and handcent a system app, then the permissions will correct and I would be able to send/receive the MMS messages. However, when I made the stock messaging app a user app, it deleted itself. I figured it wouldn't be so bad after I got handcent to work, but handcent still doesn't receive/send MMS messages, and I have no way of sending/receiving them because the stock messaging app got deleted. So, I was wondering if there was a way to get back my stock messaging app for Android 4.1.2. If anyone could help me fix the handcent thing as well, that would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time!

Just part of the SMS is shown in a Messaging app :(

I am getting a big SMS message and I can see it / read it all in Notifications. The SMS is really big. I bet it is 3x normal SMS.
But when I go to Messaging App to read it I see just a small fraction of it.
I am using Minco ROM. I am ready to switch to Stock ROM if it helps.
Anyone have the same problem that Messaging app doesnt show a full SMS message??
Thanks!

MMS now working with the app Chomp

Chomp updated their texting app on Feb 19th to fix the force closing when trying to send a MMS if you are using Jelly Bean. Handcent and GoSMS still haven't figured out how to fix it so if you don't like the stock messaging app install Chomp.
One of my favorite features other then actually being able to send a text to Contact Groups I set up it delayed sending, for those times when you accidentily replied to someone. Set the delay for a second or two and it gives you time to hit stop if you realize you really didn't want to say that or send that to someone.

[Q] SMS FC in Synergy ROM

I installed Synergy today, so far everything except SMS seems to be working. My only issue is that Messaging FCs. I prefer Handcent SMS which does launch, but if I try to send a SMS it will also FC.
I can receive SMS and replying in the pop-up notification is working... I just can not initiate a new SMS.
Synopsis:
Stock Messaging app will not launch.
Handcent SMS launches but FCs when trying to initiate new SMS message.
Handcent can receive and reply in the pop-up notification.
I see past SMS issues on the Synergy thread, but none match my issue.
Thank you for your time.

Have you tried the aosp MMS option ?
Never had it force close on me before bit I have used Samsung messaging in ages
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Fixed
I reflashed the ROM. I did a double factory reset prior to installing... wiped cache/davlik before and after installing.
Everything seems to work now.
Thanks for the friendly response!

Vcards and SMS

I'm on a stock modded ROM s3Rx running aosp messaging app. Whenever someone sends me a Vcard via sms, all I get is the grey cube. I've found that this mostly happens when the sender is an iphone user, anybody else having this issue? And for those who are running the stock messaging app, can you receive Vcards? Please help, this is frustrating. Also, not interested in 3rd party apps like Handcent, chomp, gosms, etc.
So nobody here has ever received a .vcf file via a text message?

New Messages app converts outgoing MMS texts to SMS

Hello XDA,
BACKGROUND
Last night I downloaded and installed the latest OxygenOS OTA (4.0.2) for Nougat 7.0 (stock). I noticed that the Messages (the actual name of app) app was different. It looks like the developers made some enhancements to the Messenger (actual name of the old app) app. I like the look of the new app and thought I'd give it a try. After the upgrade, the old Messenger app was still the default app. I noticed that the Messages app would only allow me to view my texts. In the Messages app, there was a prompt for me to change my default texting app from Messenger to Messages. This allowed me to send texts via the new app.
ISSUE
When sending a MMS message through the latest Messages app, the message is being transformed to SMS. Meaning, my texts get sent out individually to the recipients - even though my Messages app shows my text in a group when looking at it on my phone.
I tried to do some research on Google but could not find a solution. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do you have your MMS APN installed in your phone? If not, add it manually or request it from your operator and reboot the phone.

Hmm, I would not have thought that the APN would have been reset. It was working prior to the OTA update. But anything is worth a try. I will look into this and get back to you.

I have the same thing going on although not the MMS issue as all my apn settings remained unchanged. I am confused about why I now have the pre 4.0.2 Messenger app and now also have Messages since 4.0.2 update. Why is this and how does it get fixed so I only have one app for sms/mms.
Thanks all!

Jay, are you saying that you were able to use the latest Messages app and still able to send and receive MMS?
I could not get the new Messages app to send/receive MMS. I gave up and reverted back to the older Messenger app. I went into settings>apps>messages and force stopped the application. Then I disabled it. The old Messenger app works fine.

James,
I just was able to receive a picture with no issues. I went into the Messenger app and disabled receiving messages through settings and then made sure Messages was able to receive via settings as well. I didn't do any disabling of apps, etc. I ha entirely used the new Messages app much as of yet but it looks decent.
Anyone have reasons as to why the new update added a new app for sms/mms rather then just replace the previous one?
Hi with your new software update in the messaging app i only recieve text cant send outgoing text.please fix this. I want the old version. I m stuck not being able to send outgoing sms frm my phone.
Thanks poornima
