Hi guys, I've been searching for a couple days and have tried various sms apps as well as mms.apk's from various Roms. I was on Vanilla Rootbox for the longest time and the Popup for the stock MMS appp was great because if you were typing a reply to someone in the popup window, and another text came it, you wouldn't lose the text you were typing. In Carbon Rom(v.1.8, JB 4.2.2), it doesn't work that way, and it's frustrating to lose the typing input.
I've tried the MMS.APK from cm10.2, rootbox and ParanoidAndroid but none seem to fix the issue.
Anybody know if it's a MMS issue or the way the Rom responds? Any ideas on fixes other than non-stock sms apps(which are all slow and cumbersome)
Thanks.

OK, I'll do a clean flash and try it again. It sounds ridiculous but it's one of the make/break aspects of a messaging app to me. Thanks for your help so far.

Yeah I remember it used to be like that for me too and I either lost the functionality or never stumbled upon it again. Makes me curious now.

I change themes quite often, but only one theme that I've come across for the Samsung Epic that uses AOSP messaging as opposed the the default "Samsung messaging" (I guess you could call it), is Engraved Blues. I've used that theme for the longest, mostly because it has AOSP messaging. It comes with WAY more user functionality than the limited "Samsung Messaging." Is there anyone that could put AOSP Messaging into a flashable zip? That way, I can use whatever theme I chose, and still have AOSP Messaging. I would really appreciate it if this could be done!
I'd even be willing to learn how to do it. I usually don't request, and tinker with things on my own, but I'd need some help with this one. If someone wants to walk me through the process, I'd be even more appreciative, because I wouldn't have to ask for these kinds of things!
I don't know what you mean by AOSP messaging but Impaler's transparent MMS are flashable zips. They both look and run very well. Give one of them a try. Just download and flash in CWM.

AOSP messaging is I guess stock Android messaging. At least that's what someone told me a while back. There are noticeable differences. Probably one of the most important is the fact that with default Sammy messaging, when messages come in while I'm roaming, they are 4 hours in advance. For some reason, this isn't the case with AOSP messaging. It's really weird. There are also options for vibration types, and you're also able to change the font size of the messages. None of these options are present in Sammy messaging, AND, there are no chat balloons; just color backgrounds.
The MOST important reason I prefer AOSP is because for whatever reason, I cannot pinpoint, whenever I run a ROM with Samsung's messaging app, the phone tends to randomly restart. Ever since I've been using Engraved Blues with AOSP messaging, the random restarts are nonexistent. No reboots whatsoever! My phone has been super stable with SRF 1.1.1 and Engraved Blues. I don't know why it causes those reboots, and I don't have my messaging set to keep a lot of messages. Maybe 50 at the most.
Impaler's transparent messaging is based off of Samsung's Android messaging app and while it looks awesomely sweet, I've had the same unfortunate reboots as it seems to be based off of Sammy messaging.
EDIT: Ok, just noticed this in his thread.
These apps are the 2.2 MMS app, only about 50 times better than Samsung could have ever made it...

Maybe I should give it a try again? I know when he first started posting the transparent messaging app series, I could've sworn it was simply themed Samsung messaging?

I haven't really had any problems with what you mentioned. I would say give it a try. I think you will be pretty happy. His messaging app is always the first mod I flash after flashing a new ROM or theme. If it doesn't work for you, sorry.
I have that same problem with Swype where when I'm roaming all my messages read 4 hours ahead of time. Gets really bothersome. I can't live without swype anymore though.

Funny thing is that before I installed the Engraved Blues theme, I thought that the Samsung messaging app was standard Android. If I hadn't come across the theme, I wouldn't have known a thing about AOSP messaging. And what's with that roaming problem? Man, that's so annoying! How'd Samsung let that one out of the gate with that glaring problem???

Would it be safe to remove the old apk from system after flashing this? I may or may not be wrong but I seem to remember that caused problems when receiving pictures and the like.

From what I was told/read it is a Sprint problem with how their devices communicate with the towers used for roaming. So blame Sprint for the problem

AH, zip must only be edify.
All you have to do is go into that zip, take out the mms.apk, and push it to system/app using root explorer.. I've got a video showing how to do that

I found this in another forum,tried it on the E4GT running EK02 and it works. If you use Touchwiz the messaging app will be removed from the dock through the process of renaming the factory mms.apk. To replace the mms icon hit "Applications" on the home screen, then "Menu", "View Type", chose "Customizable Grid" then "Menu" "Edit". Drag the MMS icon down anywhere left of the "home" icon. Hit "Back". If you don't hit back and you hit "Home" the icon won't stick. The home icon doesn't move, so you can only change the three to the left of it unless you have another hack. The MMS icon included in the APK looks like MIUI but I might try changing it. If I do I will update again.

**Update- Ok, I found a bandaid fix for those who want to use this with their current rom. Install SMS Time Fix from the market >>> http://bit.ly/vsmoUg << In the settings activate by ticking the box on the top of the screen. Click Adjustment Method and choose Use Phone's Time. Golden. You now have several themes for you message app. Tested today on Stock Deodex'd and Epic VeNuM roms. I tested all the apks.**

Originally I pasted and renamed as per the instructions on the other thread. But I used adb from then on and did NOT install the last time I pushed the file. Also, I used the push command, not the install command. Seems like it's just the ICS apk. Try asking in that thread. The OP there might know more about it. Thanks for trying. I'll have time to check it out later so if I can fix it I will.

Samsung stock icon is brownish and white. I can try to make it green though.
Ok, I tried the version posted in this thread and the other two apks in the other thread. All had problems listing the correct incoming time stamp.
I went back to my original apk and everything is working Ok again?
I'm running Calkulin's 2.0.1 ROM. That's the only thing I can think that might be causing the problem. I wish I could get the ICS version working. I liked it.
I did post in the original thread to see if I could get an answer there. I will update in this one if I find a solution.

I'm asking to be clear. When you say timestamp is off do you mean wrong time or no time shown? Works perfect on stock rom. Sorry you guys are having a tough time with it. I might try the ICS theme just to see.

I sent a text at 1:47pm to my buddy. He replied back and his timestamp was 8:50am. Should have been 1:50pm. So it was off by 5 hours.

noob question
hey all i have a question or 2.
1- what is the difference between Sammy (Kernel), and AOKP Task & Ktoonsez Run train (rom) ?
2- do you flash AOKP Task & Ktoonsez Run train (rom) then Sammy (Kernel) ?
yeaaa i know stupid noob question but i guess we all have to start some where.
thanks for understanding.
Bluetooth to headunit
so I'm running latest aokp by task650 &ktoonsez for my sgs3 att, so the issue is when i use poweramp (latest version available on play store) it wont send track info to my head unit, i had someone suggest to go to misc - tweaks and enable both Bluetooth options but i tried that and still just says stop on the head unit. anybody have any ideas? it worked fine in stock rom.
Still having issues with aosp cam with task and ktoonsez aokp rom. The camera works with other camera apps like 360 camera and ucam but not the aosp cam. The exact symptom is that the app will always freeze within 10 seconds of the app opening no matter if i touch the phone or not. The zoom slider never appears and I'm unable to interact with the app like changing the settings or anything.
I have tried numerous flashes including every version release so far. I always do a factory reset in cwm, delete cache partition, dalvik cache, and format system. I've also used the cwm flashable camera fix that is posted in both at&t development forums. In a last ditch effort I went back to stock, performed a factory reset from there insuring that my phone was a complete clean slate and the aosp camera app still didn't work when installing fresh aokp with no apps or any settings changed at all in the rom.
I'm at a loss here as the default cam app works in cm9 and cm10 but I want my aokp damn it!
Hey there,
I've searched both these forums and on the net, and almost nothing came up.
I'm running rooted stock JB right now (stock kernel as well).
I've noticed that every since i've update to JB, the quick responses option is missing!
When i receive a call, there is no icon/action for the swiping up.
The settings for the quick responses are still there and i can still change the messages, however i cannot use the feature...
Has anyone else experience it/found a fix?
I'm gonna flash to AOKP/CM/BAMF soon, so it's not critical, but still... very annoying!
p.s.
This is the only reference i found for it on the web:
androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus/483105-galaxy-nexus-quick-responses-do-not-show-up.html
and it's pre-JB.

I'm replying with the very simple solution I've found incase anyone stuble upon this thread.
I've had the stock messaging app disabled, and that seemed to cause the problem...
So even if it's a "Phone" (as an app) feature, it relies on the built in messaging app, which makes a bit of sense
