So today i installed a new ROM (OneOfAKind) but i have a problem with SMS instead of 160 i have a limit of 70 characters (Greek Alphabet) now the fact is that on Stock Rom i had found the solution=(Go to "/data/data/com.sonyericsson.conversations/shared_prefs" find the file "com.sonyericsson.conversations_preferences.xml". Open the file and add the following line before "</map>":
<boolean name="semc_pref_key_character_conversion_visibility" value="true">)
and it worked.
Now that i no longer have the stock app and i am using either the ROMs recommended app called "Messaging" or "Google-Messenger" and lastly "Textra" i can no longer find a solution. If someone give me a solution that doesn't include trying another application(cause i have already tried GO Sms and so on) i would very much appreciate the assistance.
Thank you in advance

Hi, i been doing alot of research already and cant find anything that helps me.
im looking for a keyboard or a mod that can enable my Unicode for sending sms messages. every time i send it to some one, that person gets everything in ? marks. now if i send it thru different app, they get it right. those who have HTC Tilt 2 probably understands that we have the manila version where we can read the messages and when we click on it a whole history opens. and if i type in russian there it works good. but if i open all messages and click on one of my contacts it will open another app with all history too but if i type in russian it will send only ? marks. id use that first app. but the problem with that is that i cant copy and past in to text box... so if anybody can help me find a russian keyboard with Unicode enabled that be great.
This is a font issue. The ? is there because it is unmapped from within the font itself. You need a font that has all the unicode stuff mapped.
Where can i get that font? and do i need to install that font on my device? or the device i send message to?
I must say that I've flashed my tp2 with different roms but never encountered such problem. People get normal russian text from me. But I use original drivers for keyboard that were extracted from the stock rom by b16b, if I remember the name correctly. I could upload the cab as soon as I am home if you want to give it a try.

I wish I had one. The ones I used to have that worked, seem to no longer work and I can't figure out why.

It is NOT a driver issue. This has NOTHING to do with hardware, and EVERYTHING to do with software.

I’m pretty sure it’s not the hardware issue ether. Eternalsinner if you can send me that ROM I could try it out… maybe that will help. Question is. How come the receiver gets the Russian font when I use the manila version of text messaging, and when I use regular windows version they all get “?” marks. So its gata be settings or software issue.

Thanks gehzumteufel. what if i install a Russian ROM will that change the settings to read unicode (UTF-8)?

It isn't that it can't read it, but a font file will have mappings for unicode values. So if the value for я is NOT in the font file, you will get one of three characters. A "?", a box looking character, or a blank space. This is just the way that fonts work unfortunately.
Thanks gehzumteufel. i guess ill be googling for fonts now. if i find something ill let you know.

The 3 fonts I have, used to work. I tried them recently, and I got all ****ed up stuff. I can't figure it out.
Hello people,
I am basically php developer.
So, if you can give me a chance to learn Android, I really appreciate it.
The question is that I really want to edit HtcContact.apk and SoftBank mail apk.
[1st Q]
What I want to do with the first one , HtcContact.apk, is that I want to add some field into it when editing the contacts.
This is because there is additional field something called "the reading of Chinese characters" in Japan.
This field enables to order the contact list.
Most of the roms do not contains this additional fields.
[2nd Q]
I want to modify SoftBank mail apk because I want to try MIUI ROM.
The problem with it is that I cannot receive the message using that app as MIUI uses different protocol or something.
I really do not know what to modify.
My knowledge is something like below.
I already installed Android environment in my PC(Win7).
I know how to flash radio too.
Best regards.
ROM: ARHD 6.3.2
Device: Desire HD
Radio: ARHD recommended radio
Im not a expert but dont you have to decompile the apk to do that. I recommend finding a open source contact app and modify that (or pick on that already have support for that function) and then replace the htc contact app
Q2 I have heard that miui i releaseing many of theirs apps as open source.

Thank you very much for your post.
I just tried to reinstall HtcContacts.apk.
However, after installed it, lots of errors are occurring and can not open contacts.
Maybe, I did wrong way to install.
What I did is i just install it using root explore.
Then, about Q2, I will ask someone in MIUI developers.
Thanks, anyways.
Hum.. Try clearing cache? Might remove the errors.
Ok...after work, i will try it.
Hi
This thread might help you...

I recently upgraded to JB and saw the old flashable zip wasn't working. I searched a bit and saw you just had to add a line of code into a system file to make it work. So here's how to raise the 5 contact limit to 20.
You'll need Root Explorer. I am on CheckRom v6.
Go to:
Code:
[B]/system/csc/feature.xml[/B]
And add this in:
Code:
<CscFeature_Contact_SetLinkCountMaxAs>20</CscFeature_Contact_SetLinkCountMaxAs>
Restart.
You're done.
search strings- 5 contact limit, joni contact limits, more than 5 contacts, join contacts
I didn't see one started here, and after seeing this on the portal, I started to play around a bit with this and thought it may be a good idea to post this here too. With thanks to kkoolpatz in this link I started to edit the CSC file found here:/system/csc/feature.xml in my stock, rooted JB ROM. Just be sure to make a backup, and I recomend RootExplorer to make changes:
I also highly recomend you check out the origional post above, but I have found the following of his to work:
Unlimited linked contacts:
Code:
<CscFeature_Contact_SetLinkCountMaxAs>999</CscFeature_Contact_SetLinkCountMaxAs>
Shutter sound option for Camera (can turn it Off):
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Not tested by me, but in the other post, these may be sueful to some:
Enter Key = New Line in stock sms // Only if not supported already
Code:
<!-- Message -->
<CscFeature_Message_ReplaceCRToNewLine>true</CscFeature_Message_ReplaceCRToNewLine>
Dialer search matches numbers in contacts and call logs along with contacts
Code:
<!-- Dialer / Logs -->
<CscFeature_Dialer_PhonebookNdigitsMatching>true</CscFeature_Dialer_PhonebookNdigitsMatching>
You may have to optionally add this line too.
<!-- RIL -->
<CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>8</CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>
Add exit menu to stock web browser
Code:
<CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>true</CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>
Stock browser requests Desktop site by default
Code:
<CscFeature_Web_EnableDesktopSiteAsDefault>true</CscFeature_Web_EnableDesktopSiteAsDefault>
I am playing around with the following:
Restored the hidden APN Remove the following:
Code:
<CscFeature_Setting_HideApnList>pcweb.tmobile.com</CscFeature_Setting_HideApnList>
These give me the option for Find my mobile/Sim replacement alert, but Find my mobile doesn't seem to work, would love to activate this feature:
Code:
<CscFeature_Setting_DisableMenuFindMyMobile>false</CscFeature_Setting_DisableMenuFindMyMobile>
<CscFeature_Settings_FindMyMobile>true</CscFeature_Settings_FindMyMobile>
This one I disabled see no effect:
Code:
<CscFeature_Setting_RemoveDisableButtonInAppMgr>com.carrieriq.tmobile,com.carrieriq.tmobile.IQOOB,com.carrieriq.tmobile.IQToggle</CscFeature_Setting_RemoveDisableButtonInAppMgr>
kkoolpatz also posted these, I haven't gone through it yet but probably worth a look:CscFeatures
If anyone has more to add, let me know, and I will modify this post.

I have added my Stock file to this post, just remove the txt
Couple of things I noticed that I think is interesting:
1) By deleting [I comented out] the line that hides the the teather APM, this no looks like it can be easily deleted, may be useful for some
2) You can enable the Find my phone menu. Looks like you can set it up, but when you launch the web page, this phone is not listed. Wondering what else is needed to make this work
3) You seem to be able to add the ability to disable Carrier IQ apps from the apps list, but I still don't see them there. Wondering if this can be useful some way.
4) There are a lot of interesting things to play with in this file. Also the CscFeatures file posted by kkoolpatz has some items of interest

I would love to ask if it's possibile to have on XXDLL4 , a SMS app thats let me select THE SERVER TIMESTAMPS ( i would love to know the Real sent date of the sms, not the recevied date).
This future is available in miui and in Cm10.

Who can help me ?
Any idea

If you have root go into system/csc and find a file named feature.xml or other.xml. Copy and attached here. I'll edit in order to have the server timestamps.
