[REQ] ICS Stock Text Messaging App for NS4G - Nexus S Themes and Apps

**EDIT**
DONE! AOSP is the man, ya'll This thread can be closed!
ICS Messaging App for Nexus S 4G can't split messages, well, it does, but they come out all jumbled up. And, it can't send or recieve pictures. So, I'm asking if anyone of the bada** dev's can fix it. I know it's been fixed in GB, I'd like it to be fixed for ICS.
I've tried MOST of the ICS ROMS available for NS4G and every one is the same in this regard, if I'm wrong and there is a ROM that addresses this, please let me know... Thanks!
Also, I've tried Handcent and GoSMS, they both do the same thing on ICS, so, if it's not the app and it's the code for this release of ICS, please let me know. And I understand that CMDA phones don't contain the feature to split SMS, but my phone hardware hasn't changed from GB to ICS and this worked for me with GB, so shouldn't it be able to be done?
Any takers?

I'm sure when the cm9 release candidates come about you will receive exactly what you are looking for. My guess is it wasn't a stock GB rom you were running when you had the 160 split.
There is NO 4G on the Ice Cream Sandwich roms. Check back in January.

Yeah, it was Oxygen on GB...
So is it because of the ROM and not the app?

I'm just going out on a limb here and say yes. Either that or the SMS code was edited on gb to allow it and no one has figured it out on ics?

If you've tried handcent and go sms then you would know they both have an option to split messages if you look in the settings menu right?

Yeah, they both actually do it by default. However, when the text comes through, it's jibberish. The stock ICS app actually splits the messages by default (at least the one in all of the ROMS I've used) but the messages come out on the other end as jibberish.

I'm using chomp SMS

OK, I just sent an MMS (random pic from gallery) to myself and it worked. I'm running aops's ICS 4.0.1 with working MMS.
As for splitting SMS and getting gibberish, haven't come across that yet on this rom as I haven't had a chance to send longer than 160 words SMS's yet.

I'm running the same ROM....
So the only pics I had tried to send before reading this post was a screenshot from the phone. It just hung and said it was sending.... would sit like that for days.
So, I sent myself a gallery photo and it worked. After that I tried a screenshot and it worked! One of the messages I had tried to send two days ago all of a sudden went through and my friend got it. So he sent me a screenshot of his phone and I was able to download it, which didn't work before either. Very strange.
Another oddity is that now when I reach 160 characters, I can't type anymore. Before I could type multiple messages at once but they would be jumbled up on the other end.
It's dumb, I know, but I feel like sending that gallery pic "reset" my messaging app. I hadn't done anything different prior to sending that gallery photo...
Very strange, but I can live with it. Tiny price to pay for ICS.

To get the texts to go out and not be jobberish you have to add the counter option in handcent or gosms. There is an option in handcent where you have to add the counter and split the text.. so when it sends out a text that is over 160 characters... it labels it 1 of 2 and 2 of 2.. This will get rid of the jibberish and fix your issue..
But you are correct a developer will have to add this option for the stock app to work right...
Hope that helps and is understandable..

Correct. Oxygen was one of the few that split correctly. Its all in the xml edits

I'm on AOSP oICSv21 and the stock messaging app does not allow texts over 160. I would love the ability to split messages again. That seems like such a base feature to be left out...

you guys know that the source code out isn't for cdma, right? just chill out and wait for the cdma version of the rom and then it will work. it's close to impossible to modify the apk to split sms automatically.

um that is how it first came about. Someone modified the apk for stock SMS on the evo 4g. He released it here on xda and then pushed it to the Cyanogenmod git. That is how cm7 got messaging split. Stock gingerbread does not split. Not even on the nexus s 4g.

Stock messaging app

So I was just kinda curious about this. Personally I use either handcent or chomp sms. But I want to know why no one has improved the lag issue on the stock messaging app. I personally get and receive about a thousand texts every other day. And deleting them can be difficult ex. I got invited to a wedding and deleted the info. I was wondering if anyone is working on it or if they just say use chomp and handcent.

So I just checked and it seems like the latest cyanogen nightly has fixed it. It loaded up over a thousand texts and opened the app in a blink of the eye. I'll see if performance continues

Long sms : How to prevent splitting ?

Hi,
There is one issue that annoy me alot is that when i receive a long sms it is cut in 2 parts and i receive 2 sms and most annoying part is sometime i receive part2 before part1
Any solution to this ? On iphone i was just receiving 1 msg
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Try a different sms app from market... May help?. SMSCHOMP etc...
I already tried some other sms app but still
Can it be because of a carrier ? or it is phone ? Imho i think it is phone
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Here's what's up:
Depending on what what network (GSM or CDMA) your receiving the txt from, it will split. If a message is going from CDMA to GSM or vise versa, the message will split due to some technology differences. While GSM to GSM or CDMA to CDMA will not split. So it doesn't matter what app you use, results will be the same although I think GO SMS has the option to kind of group consecutive messages a couple seconds a part.
Don't blame the phone or Android.
That's the answer to your question in a nutshell. You really can't "fix" the incompatability of the 2 technology types.
Just my 2 cents since I used to wonder the same thing. Now I accepted it and thanked myself for owning a phone with threaded messaging and moved on with life lol

Thanks bro for clear explanation
I wonder if Handscent can have this option I ll try Go SMS to see if i like it
No problem!
I tried handcent once, but GO is just so much better to be completely honest. Its also faster.

ICS MMS limit and picture messages

Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this? I've been doing some digging around myself, but haven't had much luck. If we can at least figure out what is causing it, and get going in the right direction, I'm positive we can get it fixed. I've got a few Android geniuses at my disposal also who I'm working with to get things smoothed out.
If your not digging the stock MMS app and don't like GoSMS like me, I've been using the MMS.apk from Cyanogen Mod 9. It has the same issues as the stock app, but at least it looks good. Just replace your stock one in /system/app and match the permissions of the stock ( 0644 ).

Have you tried Handsent? I haven't had any issue with mms.
I've tried them all.. I just can't get used to it. And I can receive pics but they won't send and my texts seem to cut off at 80 char. I've tried APNs, but that didn't help.

I also have been getting my texts cut off at 80 characters. Is there some way we can force the system to chop the original message into separate texts, each being 80 characters max? It's not a GREAT fix, but it seems easy enough to me, as GOSMS can do the same thing, only with 160 chars.
I just bought an SIII, so i havent been messing with the thrill too much. I think its just a 4.0 problem though. Ive got nothing to go on at this point, but if anyone has some tips I'd be glad to try it out since I can use it as a tester.

[Q] Emoji Trouble Only in SMS Apps?

I'm having trouble getting emoji to work in my SMS apps. Emoji works everywhere EXCEPT SMS apps. I downloaded GO SMS and the emoji plugin, and could only see the ones I sent. Received ones are boxes with question marks in them. I tried the same with Handcent and couldn't get it to work either. I had this same issue with my Evo LTE, but never had this problem on my Evo 3D. Could it be some interference with Jelly Bean?

I looked through settings and didn't see anything related. I hope this is something that just requires an app update. I still have at least a week till I will receive my One but if emjoi does't work my fiance will be pissed.

Another odd symptom I just found: my battery drained to 32% after three and a half hours, and GO SMS Emoji Plugin was causing most of the battery drain (61%). Not sure why that would happen.

Was using hangouts, but when trying to send audio files or videos its a PITA!!!
Then I went to this new "evolve" messaging app.. while it seemed cool, I texted the WRONG person something I shouldn't have.. To say the least I was pissed. Then the stupid will give me error messages when sending pictures.. Guess what.
Why change something thats NOT BROKE! Stock messaging app is actually AWESOME!

I've been on Evolve since it came out (I still had my S4). It would crash constantly and I would never be able to send/receive pics and the Dev is a d!ck. Got my S5 and been on the stock messaging app and haven't looked back! Might try out Hoverchat (previously NinjaSMS).
I'm finding stock to be really sluggish with a lot Of lag. I uSe textra. It's very fast.

Actually since you mentioned hover chat. I tried it and loved it!!
Then like every single other app, something is missing.. can't send videos..
so it gets a big F
Only had the phone a weekend, so take this with a grain of salt. . .
Started stock obviously, but I got sick of Touchwiz on day 1 so switched to the Google Launcher.
When I did that, Google tries to take everything, (msg app included) so I started using Hangouts.
It is horrible. Really bad. The basic functionality is OK, but it is the other garbage that they stick in the way that annoys so much.
Sure- I could send this message using G+, but why would I, and now you've made me waste time telling you that.
Back to standard app, which seems better than previous Samsung versions. Open to suggestions though

Hello. It's great, it works, it's light and clean. It fires up way faster than the stock app.

Galaxy S does that by defaut (excepted led color + flash rates) since S3 i think (i was using Light Flow for that back then).
Yes, i'm using defaut app, best to keep things simple imo.
I only install google keyboard to get better recognition while swyping.
I wonder how some people could crash it as i had some history of several years of messages imported and never seen any messaging app crash on any of my Galaxy S.
