[Q] SMS interest, Problem and App Market History question?

1) The Samsung Galaxy has quite a beautiful sms app, was wondering if its possible to export this from samsung's rom to be installed on a sense rom? Private message me a link to 4shared etc?
2) I have a thread on my handcent sms app nearly a thousand messages in strength, I'm now struggling to delete them without crashing (I can't delete 10 without a good two minutes wait or a crash). Any help or tips for deleting? Don't want to system wipe.
3) I've downloading and bought a few paid apps from the net and installed them to my phone later finding they are on the market, but obviously they do not show in the market so I can't update them. Tips?

1) does the galaxy not use the default android sms app
2) try deleting data in sms storage (or messeges or whatever its called) in manage applications.
3) if you bought the app legally and not just paid for a membership to a warez site, you can contact the dev for the latest versions.

1)It does, but its been modified slightly, and black. Very nice looking.
2) Didn't work, done it many times, but thank you. Any other ideas? What about wiping cache etc? I don't mind, as long as I don't loose settings
3) Cool, thank you
Edit: Seemed to have sorted number 2, found a great app on the market called SMS Manager, must be knew because never could find it before. So if anyone has the editing sms app on the samsung galaxy, that would be lovely. Then we can close this thread

A way to transfer apps to another account?

Right now I have a few paid apps that are on a gmail account given to me by my school. When I graduate I will no longer get to keep this account.
When I realized this I made a new account, and now I want to transfer my apps over.
Is there a way? or should I start an app fund.
thanks

schools give out gmail accounts?
Sent from GALAXY NEXUS
Thank if helped

They give out email accounts, yes. Not always gmail.
You can authorize more than one gmail account I think. Authorize both gmails and download apps from the old one and use the new one to buy from now on

By authorize do you mean=To have both accounts accessible in the market app.
If not, how do I authorize
If so, I do that now....but what happens when my account is taken when I graduate.

No you're already doing what I meant. Nothing will happen until you get a new phone but just because they take away your email it doesn't mean that the purchases will be authorized.....I dont think so at least

Lol im dumb sometimes...are you rooted? You could use root explorer to pull the .apk 's from all the apps and save them on your computer

So i moved all the apps to a folder on the sd memory, but when i attempt to get to them on my computer i cant see them in the folder. Do i need to move them in a certain way?

Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4 Group SMS in Single Thread?

Coming from the iPhone, my friends and I used to have group SMS conversations and all the messages would be received and managed in a single group thread. On the GN, every single response that I receive is split into separate threads for each person. Is there any way to get normal group texting or did I lose this feature when I made the switch to Android?

unfortunately i think you might have lost that feature with the switch to android. you would need to use a 3rd party app (some of which would require your iphone/BB-touting friends to also use a 3rd party app)... not very convenient at all .
there is a "Verizon Messages" app which you might see mentioned in a few of the links below. here are some other convos i stumbled across that confirm the issue and might give you some tips:
beta version of Handcent that some people seem to have success with
Thread confirming issue
Another forum thread with some other people's findings
Issue raised with Google
hope this helps, good luck!

Damn that sucks. Without this basic feature I'm going to be forced to switch back to my iPhone 4S. Love the Galaxy Nexus but group chatting is one of my primary mobile uses. I really hope Google addresses this in the near future.

I would at least try all the top SMS apps on the market. Perhaps one of those functions the way you want.

I tried both GoSMS and Handcent and both apps were truly dreadful compared to the stock SMS app.

Just out of curiosity, is there any way to fix this if I were to root?! Really don't want to switch back to the iPhone 4S but this problem is becoming a monster issue for me! Thanks.

Don't think so. Just a limitation.

This issue isn't enough to get me to switch back to an iPhone, but yeah, it's kinda annoying.

If you are on Verizon, the aforementioned Verizon Messages app works great, seamless. The others kinda suck.

Thanks. Unfortunately I have the unlocked version and I'm using it with AT&T.

You can use Google+ Messenger. You start a conversation and you can add friends from your cirlces and/or friends phone numbers or any phone Number.. I'm surprized nobody brought this up sooner!

Can you explain how this would work for people who have iPhone's without Google+? Would they get a regular text message? If so, what number would it come from? This might be a decent solution.

It won't, maybe if they use Google+, but it won't replace the standard SMS. The new Handcent 4.x update can handle Group MMS messages, personally I just got used to the Stock messaging app so I stick with that (Even though it can't handle Group Messaging).
Hope this helps...

Don't listen to the guy above this. It does work. They will get a text message with a different random phone number but it will have your name on it. try it out for yourself dude. I hate when people reply to things with an answer and are totally wrong. Messenger from Google plus sends text messages!!!!! I tested it myself yesterday. I love Google+! Can't wait when it takes over and facebook goes away. So much better!

This guy is funny. Going back to a phone because of something he could use by downloading an app or Google+. Go back to the iPhone and get outta here then. If you prefer a phone that you need a magnifying glass to look at, no widgets, no customization and being locked down by apple and having to put music on your phone by sycing with a computer... be my guest!

What a foolish quote. First of all, it doesn't work with Google+...I tried this with a few other people and it did not work unless they had the Google+ app installed. Also, there is nothing wrong with different people having different priorities. Clearly your priority is on widgets and customization while mine is on communication...to each their own. I'm hoping the group SMS issue will be addressed soon being that almost all other smartphones have this capability.
The other thing that is frustrating me after switching to the GN is the way the email apps render HTML emails. On iOS it puts the full page on the screen and you zoom into the parts you want to read. On the GN the email doesn't fit to the screen so you need to scroll all over the place to read it. Hope this is fixed as well.

GoSMS just added this feature. I was literally trying everything to get this to work then GO updates the SMS app and it works great. Every reply all gets sent back to the group thread and I can send out of it just fine. Loving it.

[Q] Need Help, Cant Access Gallery

After the latest Tmobile update this week for the LTE upgrade, My gallery stops working...
If I am in a Text message and want to attach a picture, it goes to the gallery and just sits and nothing happen...
I can go to the gallery and then select share... but is a PIA when I have multiple pictures to send to multiple recipients...and no, they are not the same all the time so having a group will not fix this...
Yes, I have cleared the cache
Yes I have selected to view only the images in device...but then when I go back is defaulted back to all
Yes, I know there is other apps...but why would I add an app when the stock one worked fine before
Yes, I have tried 2 different SD cards...still the same issue
Yes, I did master Re-set
Yes, I took to T-Mo Store and they told me that was not a warranty issue...and yes I spoke to tech support and the guy pretty much read a script and at one point asked me to shut down my galaxy S3...yes, S3...go figure.
I just like to know before I take drastic steps and put a custom rom on the GN2

Its a bug. Update added a kajillion galleries from Facebook, Picasa etc. More galleries, longer to load. I went through the same thing on my n4 as well. I'm trying to find a solution, been looking for the right cache to clear.

Solved it. Turn off all sync for all photo galleries. I.e Facebook, picasa etc.
Then go to settings, applications, slide over to all, then clear data and cache for gallery.

[Q] Restoring Google Contacts and Backup copy for M9+

Hi Guys,
I'm new to all these.
I just got a China version of M9+ and unfortunately, it does not support anything that is related to Google.
Which means all my previous contact under Google account as well as Google Play cannot be access.
Is there anywhere to resolve this? Does it means I need to root?
Newbie here still trying to know what root is

I installed HTC social plugin from google play, unchecked everything except Linkedin and Facebook in Bliinkfeed content settings and now have an ordinary blinkfeed.

When you said ordinary, did you mean the international news is available?
I tried to install the plugin and found no luck. Any suggestions?

Yes international. Check the screenshot.

Hello,
I installed the HTC Social Plugin - Facebook, the only one closest to the name you specifies, and available on my google play. Then I unchecked everything except the facebook and LinkedIn services, but still I was not able to choose from different news source, but only 中国, without the pull down list as on ordinary blinkered.
Is there anything I missed?
Thanks a lot!

Couldn't find international source

I took a close look at your screenshot and found there were only feeds from Facebook and LinkedIn, but not any other news sources.
On my HTC M8, not China version, I can choose new sources from an exhaustive list of countries.
I guess it will still take root and custom ROMs for my M9+ to be able to access international news sources.
