Hey guys,
Anybody know how to mod the messaging app to remove the redundancy of Sender Name and phone number and your own identity aka "Me" in the SMS conversion thread on stock HTC Messages app "Mms.apk"?

Yeah, but I think it's redundant because when in thread view you already know who sent you the message. The party's name and number are not visible in each SMS in some other popular messaging apps like GO SMS and iPhone SMS I think it makes the message thread look less cluttered. I prefer stock HTC Messaging over GO SMS and sure as hell would never buy an iPhone - just wondering if and how it could be done. I'm assuming there's an .xml file to edit, I've already figured out how to remove "Me" from messages that I've sent. Attaching example.
I would like to do this also. I have been looking into MMS.apk but cannot figure out where it gets populated. Any help would be nice.

this is more of opinion survey versus anything else.
i am looking for a text message widget and email widget.
specifically something for viewing text messages and e-mail from the desktop with the ability to delete, forward and reply at my discretion. as always i am looking for usability and functionality
i have been in the market and tried multiple apps, chomp, ohmymms, and many others- after some looking today i see there are many more. hopefully some of you have found something that you prefer over something else.
i would like to read about it.
thanks in advance
i used to use, fancy widgets messaging widget.
its set up like the HTC Sense widget but smaller i dont know if it has all the functionality your looking for though
Is there an app that you can send and recieve MMS through? I am using Boost on my sprint HTC touch and can't recieve MMS on it because it just sends a link that is broken. If there is an app that can intercept those messages and send the full picture message to my phone, that would be amazing!

as you guys are on sprint/boost there is a patch someplace you can install to assist with picture messaging. google it and you ought to find something.
personally, i have been an owner for over a year and tried everything but to no avail. best thing i have found for images is e-mail.
hope it helps
There are cabs you can install, but those are for WinMo from my understanding.

The thing is, no one has found a solution out yet, and as we don't have a fully functioning camera just yet, I don't mind waiting til we do.
I noticed today that the SMS Messaging app displays the word Sent and a time for text messages that have been received rather than sent. Is it just my Nexus One (FRF91) that is having a brain fart or do other see the same issue ?
It's telling you when the message was sent to you. It's working fine.
So a message that my phone has received is marked sent because someone sent it to me ? Android 2.1 marked it as received ?
I think it's a regression. It should say "Sent" for your messages and "Received" for your contacts' messages.
Also, when I get a SMS notification and select it from the notification bar it takes me to the list of SMS threads rather than the specific thread for the contact who just messaged me. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the behavior for Eclair and is another regression or a horrible UI decision.

is anyone else having a bug where when you click the first message in the messaging app and it is showing a completely different conversation? Ive been sending many messages to the wrong people because of that.

It is telling you what time the message was sent to you. I do agree that it should say Received but it's not a bug.

That has happened to me a couple times. I have always noticed, thankfully, before sending a text. Except for once when I accidentally texted one of my boys with a <3. lol
Hi, yesterday I added a new contact into my Nexus. When I went to text the contact later on, the message failed to send. I noticed that I had entered the contact number incorrectly (had an extra 0 at the front) and corrected my mistake. The thing is now, whenever I receive a message from that contact, and reply, it tries to reply to the incorrect number I originally entered, even though there is no reference to it. I have to keep deleting the thread on Handcent, and starting a new one, but it still always messes up when I have to reply to a text.
Anyone know why this is? I tried to delete the contact from the phone, and I get this message: "This contact contains information from multiple accounts. Information from read only accounts will be hidden in your contacts lists, not deleted"
If it's of any help I have nexus one with cyanogenmod 6.0 installed and use handcent and have whatsapp installed as well (not sure if ths makes any difference)
Bump, incase anyone missed it.
Have looked at the contact info via your web Gmail?
When you go to edit your contact, keep scrolling down. Android as an annoying way a merging multiple contacts if they have the same name...

Did that but there is nothing out of the ordinary there either.
Try clearing data from your Dailer and Dailer storage?

Did that too, as well as contact storage and contacts. It has to be being cached somewhere, but I don't know where.
I've some contacts that have multiple numbers associated.
Untill I used my HTC HD with winmo 6.5 sms threading aggregated messages by author (contact).
Now both the default sms app, as well as GO SMS PRO thread the messages by number!
This results in me having double or triple threads for all the people with multiple numbers!
Not only that, they could prefer me to vehiculate messages to a particular number (a default number) while they answer from another. That isn't possible anymore.
Is there a workaround for this?
if I don't mix up things now, Handcent SMS should work fine!
I've got just a few contacts with multiple numbers, but if I remember correctly, the SMS are sorted by contact, not number!
Correct me if I'm wrong

That would be my ideal working mode.
And what I expected.
But, as I said, two different apps show the same behaviour: two threads for messages coming from two numbers of the same contact.
Hi
I have the same issue, some of my contacts have multiple numbers, as they sometimes reply using a different SIM card or are in a different country. In Go SMS Pro threads list, they are listed multiple times instead of a single contact. I have checked and I do not have any duplicates in my contacts. I'm using HTC Desire Z updated to Gingerbread and the stock HTC messages app displays them fine (i.e. as a single thread). Has somebody found a solution? Or is it the way Go SMS is designed to work?
Thanks,
Hai
I suspect it's how GO SMS, as well as Google own messaging app, is designed.
I haven't found any other app that deals correctly with this so far
Are you sure? I'm using an HTC and their default messaging app and there messages are threaded by contact rather than number. Maybe only HTC does it...

Mine is just a guess: previously I had a WM 6.5 Htc HD and it did work as I expected. Same happened for every rom i flashed, but they all came with Sense.
Now that I moved to Android I can't find any messaging app doing what I expect it to do, so maybe it really was something special by Htc...
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but has something changed in this regard yet. Don't like the fact that one contact clogs up my whole sms tray. Am more than willing to pay for this feature.
I echo the sentiments of the others. Hath such an app or mod entered into existence at this time to accomplish this particular purpose?
Solution?

I don't think there is any solution yet.
Found contact+, its messaging does this, but you get all other things you might not want.

Try Contacts+. Its plugins are required for the whole app to function. But threads like you described exist in this app. I just wish the others would follow Contact+'s lead. It's available on the Play Store. Please remember to thank me if this works for you. Features Google+ integration and Facebook, whatsapp, foursquare, and LinkedIn as well as twitter. These apps may need to be installed too.
oops. looks like the question is already answered.
Hey everyone.
It is true that there is no convinient app that could hold multiple numbers of a contact in the same thread. I tried Contacts+, but this function is the only thing why I did this.
Actually I like Textra for the plain interface.
Why I am writing - developers of Textra seem to act quick for requested features. So I've added this feature here textra.uservoice.com/forums/208555-feature-request/suggestions/5728235-single-thread-for-a-contact-with-multiple-numbers .
If you're interested in this you could give your voice for the feature and maybe we would have a great sms app.
A little off topic: also I've added another feature request - textra.uservoice.com/forums/208555-feature-request/suggestions/5728169-split-group-sms-thread
So contacts+ is still the only solution?

I used the default messaging app for my HTC Vivid. I tried group messaging and sent out a picture to many of my friends. It came to them as a group message, but to me, it came back as a single thread(the original thread, one-to-one thread). It would never come back as a group message. It caused a whole lot of problems because of this. ;(
I was wondering if anyone else had this problem, or is it just me?
Or maybe does someone have a suggested app to replace the default messaging app, that is fairly similar to the default one?

i use handcent
I didn't like handcent, because of the looks. Is there any other options?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
i personally use go sms as my messaging app
I tried both handcent and go sms. Is there anything more similar to the default app? But thank you for your suggestions.
i use gosms as well and it is great you should use it as well
Do you know if there is a fix for android 4.0 stock messaging app for group messaging?
haha I had the opposite issue, if I grouped people, whenever I sent a message to any 2 people in the group, it turned it into a group message. So I have to send messages individually, if I don't want the entire group seeing individual responses.
Anyone know a fix to this?
The ability to send out to a group of people, more than one, the same message (Multiple contacts in one message), without turning it into an "all can read responses" group message.
So you could send out a group text and it became as group message for all? I wish I could do that. What messaging app do you use?
