[Q] MMS on froyo - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i flashed RC1 a few days ago to see how it was. just a little while ago i received a text from my dad. in the same message box above the message there was a "play" button. i clicked on it and it opened a picture up for a split second then exited out. does anybody know what this is? is it a video? and if so is anybody else experiencing this problem? any fix?

If you still have problems sending/receiving MMS, Do this:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd data/data/com.*.*.telephony/databases
rm telephony.db
rm mmssms.db
exit
adb reboot
Then you should be able to send mms and receive them fine.
All other temporary fixes/mods will be kept at the IRC

Incoming call Echo *Cyanogen mod only?

Hi guys,
Bit of a weird one this, but every time I receive an incoming call I get an echo of myself on the line, but when I make an outbound call to the same number its fine.
This only ever hapopens on Cyanogen roms, I switched to a Hero rom for a while because I figured it was a bug with Cyan and the issue went away, I just flashed the latest Cyanogen rom and the echo is back again.
Any ideas at all?
nobody has any ideas on a fix? would replacing the dialler work? maybe I could adb pull from another rom or something, im not entirely confident on the technicalities but...
I have this issue, and would love to see a fix sometime.
try dwang 1.13 or u can try changing the dialer or contacts.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=594194
push that through adb
put it on your desktop, run terminal
cd desktop
adb remount
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk
adb shell reboot
that might fix it...

Cannot Delete texts

I'm running Fresh 2.1.1 and I have quite a few texts built up on my phone but every time I try to delete a thread it just doesn't. I press delete, the menu disappears, and the thread just stays there. Any thoughts? If I need to put more info I can, or if anybody can tell me where I can go in adb to delete them? Thanks in advance!
this does it. i had to do this to my gf's hero last week
this will make a backup of your texts on your pc before.
Code:
mkdir c:\temp
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db c:\temp (this will backup the database to your computer at c:\temp, just in case)
adb remount
adb shell
rm /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
reboot
Thank you very much!

Inverted Google talk app?

I have read the discussions about amoled screens not using battery on pixels which are meant to be black because it simply doesn't light anything up in the case. I was wondering if its possible for someone to make a Google talk app that is black with white text. Since that's my most used app I'd be interested in seeing if it makes any battery savings.

I could have sworn that it had a black background in the Eclair days... or at least on CM5.x Eclair. I could be mistaken, though.
Its been done, along with gvoice.

Consider that you will not be able to update without uninstalling the modded version.
Wow that's brilliant..never even thought about that before

The app was problematic - not showing Mobile and Android contact status. I've updated it and attached the APK in the linked thread.
Attaching it here too.
adb push TalkMod_Mod.apk /system/app/Talk.apk

I mean - before my update you couldn't see any of those. Not mobile and not Android. The watermarks just didn't show up near the contacts. Now you can see both.

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'll push it when I get home.
Maybe you can help answer a problem I'm having, I have 2 nexus ones, one for Tmo and one for ATT. The ATT is just a backup in case I move to ATT someday, and it's like my wifi tablet lol.
Anyways, when I originally figured out how to push the talk apk to my TMo nexus one, it worked perfectly. However, when I pushed it to the ATT one, it looked like it worked fine, it showed that the 1032 kb were pushed (I'm just guessing the amount)...and I rebooted the phone...the google talk is still white :S....I did it again, and again it looked like it worked fine, but the google talk is still white! Any idea how to check to see what I'm doing wrong? The command I'm entering is fine..
The talk.apk is in my sdk tools folder..and the command I'm using is
adb push talk.apk /system/app/talk.apk
The command you're entering is wrong. Linux is case sensitive, so is Android. Copy the command I gave above EXACTLY. And you might be pushing the wrong file, since you don't have it named right.
Thanks,
I had just figured it out last night. I needed to capitalize the T in talk....however, now when I do
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
I see in the files that there is a Talk.apk, and also a talk.apk. How do I remove the "talk.apk"?
adb pull talk.apk /c:/talk.apk ?
Pull doesn't remove, only copies to PC.
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm talk.apk
Once you execute "adb shell", you get to Linux shell. SH, specifically. Work with files and folders like you would in Linux.

Any way to install this via terminal emulator?
I am running Enom's 2.14.1, and I have apps2ext enabled...
I tried to use the command "mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"
to remount via terminal emulator, but it says mounting remount on /dev/block/mtdblock3/system failed: Not a directory.
So I'm trying to figure out how to install these without the computer. I don't have root explorer but I'm not sure how it would work considering I have apps2ext enabled.
Any suggestions?

Theres a space before "/system".
should work
1)mount as above
2)command: cp /sdcard/Talk_Mod.apk /system/app/Talk.apk
Thanks,
that gives me a new error though:
Code:
can't create '/system/app/Talk.apk': File exists
Got it!!
This command worked in terminal emulator to remount
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
Then I was able to do the cp /sdcard/Talk_Mod.apk /system/app/Talk.apk

Make sure you're running compatible version. This is for Froyo, you're running CM7 - not the same Gtalk.

this is for Froyo, correct? Do you happen to have a Gingerbread version?
No, I didn't make one. Try to look for various dark CM7 themes, you'll probably find it there.

Push Phone.apk

Can someone give me the adb command and/or terminal commands to push a custom Phone.apk?
Thanks
adb remount
adb push Phone.apk /system/app/
Been trying to do the same thing since yesterday.
This is what I get with the two commands posted above:
Code:
failed to copy 'Phone.apk' to '/system/app/Phone.apk': Directory not empty
EDIT:
Trying it again now and it seems to just hang there. It's been over 10 minutes and it doesn't seem to be doing anything (Process status: Sleeping).
All my attempts result in the phone freezing. I have to remove the battery in order to reboot it. Thankfully, I haven't managed to brick it yet, though I suspect I'm getting closer to achieving brickdom with every attempt.
do it via recovery?
Worked like a charm. It fails on "remount" while in recovery and I thought I was doing something wrong but apparently it's not required.
EDIT:
Well the copy worked:
Code:
1224 KB/s (835675 bytes in 0.666s)
but I'm not sure if it actually did anything. The new apk is supposed to change the call screen but it doesn't. Also, while in recovery mode if I
Code:
adb shell ls /system
there's only bin/ directory in there (i.e., no app/). Am I doing something wrong?
S_Dot: Sorry for hijacking the thread. At first it was just to clarify one little problem that I assumed you may have had as well but now it's sorta snowballing.
EDIT2:
OK, I found the "mount /system" option in the advanced menu. Thanks for the help and hope this helps someone.
Achilleas you are AWESOME!
I have been looking for ages how to do this since I always got problems. Finally it worked!
Thanks

Fix Messages and Dialer in 9.1 [Root required]

Checking logcat when using Dialer and Messages, I noticed it gets a lot of fail to open db which leads to app crash.
To fix it you can do this, requires Magisk:
Note that this will wipe contacts and messages! (contacts should sync again from google account or any other account you have linked)
adb shell
su
rm /data/user/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/*
rm /data/user/0/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/*
Go back to phone and wipe data of Phone and Messages
Go back to command prompt and:
reboot recovery
(or 'adb reboot recovery' if you closed adb shell session)
Messages and Dialer should now open fine.
(Someone could report back if restoring messages with HiSuite works after removing those dbs.)

jeez, that worked! I had no sms since the OTA update probably
thank you very much
p20 pro btw
In my case only sms didn't work. I deleted sms dbs using rm /data/user/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/*, later I restored smses via Huawei backup (restore from sd card). Worked that way.
WOW~It did work!
Thank you very muuuuuch.
If this is a bug has anyone here informed Huawei? Would like to see it get fixed in EMUI 10.

This only occur on rooted devices, so there's nothing to be fixed by Huawei.
However, it seem that EMUI 10 will force bootloader lock and so far there's no way to unlock it, even if you have the unlock code. That will fix this issue too! xD
If I unlock before upgrade, will it relock the bootloader?
Come to think of it can you even upgrade with an unlocked bootloader?

Yes, it will re-lock the bootloader. Basically, with EMUI 10 you can't have an unlocked bootloader.
We will see if that changes with the official release, but i doubt.
