What ROM are you running? Stock or custom ROM. Also what carrier
I'm running MeDroid - v6.1 - 7.2. My carrier is Mobilicity.
Not too familiar with that ROM or carrier but look to see if you have any kind of settings to change User's Agent. Look in the stock messaging app.
I do have an option to change user agent...which one shouls I use?

Find a device that you know is an official phone for your carrier. Nokia N95 work for most.

Hi
Excuse me. I'm new to all this. Just wondering if someone can help me or at least point me in the right direction.
I rooted my Droid and install CM7. with chevyno1 kernel. i like it and everything runs smooth. Except, I don't like the email app and the phone app that are in CM7. and don't like any of the ones in the market. the best apps I liked are the HTC evo stock email and phone apps.
I extracted them from my brother's evo but now how can I install them on my Droid CM7? is there a way to do that? or has anyone done that before?
I googled the net for hours but can't find an answer!
thank you.
HTC apps are proprietary. As in, they are made for HTC phones. I doubt it can be ported, and if it can, its probably infringes on patents or copyrights or something like that.

Thank you.
so can anyone at least point me to a rom that has similar features of the HTC's phone and email apps.
for example on the phone app:
- ability to search a name by typing part of the name on the num. key pad.
& on the email app:
- ability to search emails in the inbox.
- ability to sort emails.
- ability to MOVE emails to other folder.
again, I don't want to download and install crap from the market. because i tried alot of them but none can completely solve the issue and provide what im looking for . plus they add a load on the droid. I want a native built-in ROM app.
thanks for any help.
hey guys,
testing the chinese xt883 stock rom these days.
apart from extensive battery drain i have one big problem:
all my contacts (which are about 500) are displayed in contacts view but when someone calls me the phone won't show the assiocated contact name to the number but only the caller id itself!?
when i go to call list and add the same number again to the contact the next time the person calls me the contact name is correctly associated and displayed.
same problem in text messaging also, but not with every contact?!
you see i don't want to manually edit all my contacts to make the phone know which number belongs to which contact ...
anyone know how to fix this?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is this the xt883 ROM on an xt862 for gsm functionality? If so, any reason in particular you chose this ROM? Do you know about flashing the xt883 radio.img to get gsm on the xt862? It works great and doesn't force me to use the Chinese ROM lol.
sure i know about flashing the radio.img only but i also want the other benefits of the xt883, like call firewall, call record, bluetooth transfer, hardware decoding and so on.
what's included in the radio.img? is the cell standby issue fixed when flashing the radio.img only?
thanks!

Do you mean the battery life due to having the cell radio on standby? I've only used the phone on T-Mobile so I don't really have a comparison for that. I've noticed wifi reception is a little weak, so I'm wondering if that has to do with the radio.img. I read that the xt883 is only rated for 802.11 b/g, so that would explain it.
I mainly use stock xt862 ROM because I tried the xt883 ROM and didn't like having to do the work around for Gapps and all the Chinese bloatware included. I didn't know about any exclusive benefits, but I don't think I'd need them now that you mention them.
I really just wanted gsm functionality and the stock ROM with the radio tweak works just fine for that.

Also, if you're interested in seeing what it includes, you can look in the dev section where the thread is and just download the zip to look at the files.

yeah i did that now, thanks man!
well, since no one seems to have a solution for my contact problem i think im gonna get back to stock and see how its gonna go with that.

I've got the same problem.
To solve it I've added the country code to all the contacts.
That worked for me 100%
(Sorry for resuming an old thread)

i also got the same problem , i had restored all contacts and sms via app.
i imported the contacts to sdcard, then via file manager opened the vcf file manually and my contacts were updated again.
then all contacts displayed correctly when calls came or anything.
Hello, I would like to know, is it possible to keep a stock rom, and have the same keyboard as Cm 9? Don't know if it's the same as the normal ICS one. I use the ICS keayboard app from Google Play, it's really good, keyboard is the same, but I liked the way it underlined the wrong words in red, a bit like Microsoft Word!
And also, is it possible to have the same type of sms app? With the pictures of our friend always shown for new sms's and not just bubbles.

For your first issue. You wont get it to underline in red, because that is handled by the SMS app, not the keyboard. and why are you on XDA and using GB anyway?
So, this can't be done with a stock rom?
I'm on XDA because I used to have a Custom rom, CM9 then, Remics. But I use Tango quite often and apparently this app doesn't work with roms so this was kind of a deal-breaker. Moreover, tha camera app and the browsing experience was better with the stock rom, easier to watch Flash videos on my phone
Hello guys,
I had been using Slimbeans ROM for the last few months and found it to be really good. However just recently I was trying to do a video call and found that the Slimbeans ROM hasn't got the video call feature in the dialler at all. Is this due to the stock dialler carried over from the stock ICS ROM released for the Galaxy Nexus? Would I need to change my default dialler to something else? What do you recommend I replace the default dialler with to call someone's mobile number with video feature?

Don't think there is, however you may use skype or any other apps as an alternative

What happened if the person you're calling doesn't have access to wifi to use Skype? Wouldn't the video feed become laggy and affect the voice quality as well?
Hi,
So I'm having a lot of trouble trying to configure a solution to this problem! When I text my girlfriend who is French, her iPhone can't receive accented characters, it instead replaces them with other characters. I presume this is a problem with the Unicode settings on my phone but can't find much information on this topic anywhere! I have a Samsung galaxy s i9000 international triband, baseband I900XXJVT running cm10.1.3 (android 4.2.2). I live in.new Zealand and I'm with 2degrees as my provider, have recently switched from skinny due to band issues. Any help would be much apprecjated ! Thanks!!
Hi There,
dont know if i can really help.
i'm also on 2degrees, were the messages working correctly on skinny?
have you tried texting the same message to another Iphone? or another phone?
and/or texed from another phone to her Iphone?

Yes, I have tried many different phones. I'm sure its not the network now, so more looking at trying to see how i can change the settings on my phone, but there seems to be nothing? Can it be that the version of ROM i'm running is the problem and I need to change ROM's?

If you have tried different phones i'd say the likelihood of it being a ROM issue drops through the floor.
Unless by complete coincidence all the other phones you used were running the same ROM (or had the exactly the same settings).
Also if everything worked on skinny that would make me lean toward it being a carrier issue.
I did a quick Google and came up with this article from Apple, sounds very similar to what you have.
*** I cant post a link yet
uummm ... go to apple, then support that search "SMS messages may display incorrectly on other devices"
the article should come up at the top of the list.
hope that helps.

Thanks for your help on this! I think you may be correct with the ROM theory, I will just have to change my rom and find out!

no problem,
its the small things that are the biggest the bum.
*oh (light bulb moment) have you tried sending a MMS instead of a text? or using whatsapp or similar?
could be a short term work around.
best of luck.
@nippynz it will work with Hangouts or Gmail, Yahoo etc.
It is BTW Apple's speciality to break purposely the compatibility between their products and Android or PC. Not even JPEG or MP3 file data transfer with Bluetooth will work between Android and iPhone. Apple sucks!
