[BAD] Stock sms/mms app is bad - Nexus 4 General

I hate the stock sms/mms apk (and i usually love it)
You can't set the max size for mms (whick is 3kB )
You can't change smilies key to new line key
Can't import/export sms from /sdcard/messages/smsXXX.db (had this feature on Acer E350)
No pop-up (CM10 feature)
Will the devs patch this apk ? Thanks

LOL just install an alternative keyboard app from the Play Store. Not that hard is it?

This is what is called user preference. You being the user don't prefer the stock MMS/SMS tools.
As a consumer this leave you with a few options. Return the phone. Or, like any other Power User that buys an andriod, go to the market and find one you do like?
I mean sheesh...Its like I am not even on XDA some days.

You serious OP?
-import your messages via an app
-use an alternate sms/mms app that supports pop up
-use a different keyboard
0/10
See me after class.

FAQ
by: rikardo1979
Did u experience a bit weir behavior after u flashed your MIUI+Language pack ?
Like some icons with CN text, or notification menu where u had a "Visitor mode" in CN, time to time fc on some apps, etc.
Try to flash over again but a bit different way
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This works for me1) so do a full wipe again ( cache + data + dalvik cache )
2) install the ROM from CWR but now a bit change cos DONT INSTALL lang pack straight after !!!
3) after the ROMs installed just do a reboot. Once the phone boot all is in CN lang but no worries now
4) reboot phone into CWR again
5) now wipe the cache + dalvik cache. But NOT DATA !!!
6) now u can install the lang pack and reboot after
7) now u all done and u should have your MIUI full EN or another language without CN texts like in notification menu where u had a "Visitor mode" in CN, or some icons on the desktop, etc...

-Pull LatinIME.apk from the /system/app folder inside the cm7 zip file and paste it to the SD card on the phone
-Delete LatinIME.apk from /system/app on the phone (I used root explorer)
-Move the cm7 LatinIME.apk from wherever you put it on the SD card to the /system/app folder on the phone
-Reboot the phone and it should be good

And note that you will need the same permissions as with the exchanged front facing camera from CM7!! (Look a little up to see what it should look like!)

Hi all,
you may of noticed the white text in the latest Nexus S 2.3.3 ROM. In order to run apps like YouTube without the text issue go into Settings > Programs > Manage Applications
Select YouTube for example and scroll down to compatibility mode, switch it on. Re load app - no more white!

Fix download in market and for themes on cellular network?
You need to open the application called "downloads" and push the menu on the bottom and choose to be able to use "mobile network"
Is this ROM bug free/faulty free?
No! It is still in beta state. But I use it day to day with little or no issues. It is the best ROM I tried on the nexus yet!
Known issues (not in .25 built or later)
It FC (Force close) some apps like Engadget and other (workaround is using the mobile version of engadget. It works good)
It has white background and white text. (FIXABLE see the red text a little further up)
Seems to FC when you give review to an app. ( I have this issue as some other)
For Beginners
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste.
Click Net Disk on the desktop, and you’ll see MIUI has prepared a variety of amazing apps for you, including notes, audios, videos and IM and so on. You are free to choose and install what you like! (Please make sure your phone is connected to wifi.)
Tip: If you want more apps, you may click the tab “All for one” in “Net Disk”, the place where MIUI users upload their own apps.
> You may also download more apps in electronic markets. You need to install the corresponding market (some can be downloaded in “Net Disk”), and then go get more apps.
> I’d like to install apps downloaded from the computer, what should I do? First copy the downloaded file (.apk) into your SD card. Then pick up your phone, click “File Manager” on the desktop, find the file you copied and click to install it.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
> Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
> How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
> How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
> Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
> Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
> Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
> Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
> Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.
> Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.
> Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
> Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
> How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the sd card.
> How to copy files from the computer without using the data cable? In case of a wifi connection, enter “File Manager” on the desktop, select the tab of "Remote Administration" to start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!

Just a few screenhsots of my device:
My suggestion of a clean install with minimal errors:
1) so do a full wipe again ( cache + data + dalvik cache )
2) install the ROM from CWR but DONT INSTALL language pack straight after !!!
3) after the ROMs installed just do a reboot. Once the phone boot all is in CN lang but no worries now
4) reboot phone into CWR again
5) now wipe the cache + dalvik cache. But NOT DATA !!!
6) now u can install the lang pack and reboot after
7) now u all done and u should have your MIUI full EN or another language without CN texts like in notification menu where u had a "Visitor mode" in CN, or some icons on the desktop, etc...

After some research I found an easy solution: I opened both of the Nexus S english pack and the SGS hungarian pack with winrar and drag/dropped the apk files from the second to the first (system/app/*.apk & system/framework/framework-res.apk), and then I flashed the modded pack on my Nexus S with CWM. After the boot I could choose hungarian in settings/system/language&input settings.
You guys were correct. The dropbox link was wrong. Please use the multupload one for now.

Clean UI-layout, really like the black skin but still too slow for me. Don't like the lag in the settings-menus etc. Needs an update with the hardware-buttons to change songs with as in CM7/Liquid Nexusbread too.
It works fine. Its just the dropbox link thats for 1.5.20. Multiupload link works fine

IF you are having problems with mms, there is a quick fix on miuiandroid.com:
http://www.miuiandroid.com/2011/05/mms-forceclose-fix-1-5-27/
I haven't had any problems with standard messages.
Edit - I have just tried the updated messaging apk above and it hasn't solved the problem - I'm sure Mark will be on the case later today.

[Q] Keeping some info after flashing

Hey, I just got into flashing roms and such... just moved from CM 10 stable to beast 4.2.1 and everything went great except from settings that got missing which are mainly 3:
1. I joined contacts together with their facebook profile in order to get their picture when calling them but when i flashed the new rom that was gone... any way of keeping it?
2. all my ringtones aren't synced anymore... now when i have someone who used to own a ringtone of his own i got no ringtone at all... same question
3. my entire launcher stayed the same but the widgets aren't working... any way of fixing that?
4. (different question) in the power widget in the notification drawer there was an option to change the time the screen takes to turn off, that option isn't available in the quick settings panel... is there other way to enable it? (besides getting the power widget again)
thanks!

1. You have to use HaxSync with the Jellybean work-around to sync Facebook contacts/pictures. There may be alternative apps available but this is just what I myself use.
2. Not sure what you are trying to ask. Just go into Sound settings or your music player and set a ring tone.
3. This is normal. I'm assuming they either look like white or black boxes? Just delete and reapply your widgets.
4. Not that I know of.

1. found a solution... restored my 4.1.2 contacts storage via titanium and it's working great.
2. What I mean is that when I set a custom ringtone and flash a new rom that ringtone isn't working anymore... (which makes me miss some calls...)
3. oh wellz
4. oh wellz using widgetsoid for that now...
New question (since i can't post in development)... In CM 10 I had Developer Settings in the settings menu... and on beast 4.2.1 i don't have them... is that normal? is there a fix for that?
thanks for you help

[Q] Programming the QuickButton

How does one program the QuickButton in CM11? What are the possibilities and limitations?
Thanks,
Jim

You'll need to edit /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl . My CM11 ROM for the D415 maps this key to wake the device. The QuickButton key ID is 250 and is named "INFO".
This is how the QuickButton entry looks like in gpio-keys.kl. ( From my ROM )
Code:
key 250 INFO WAKE
All that's needed is to change the "WAKE" part of the line listed above. The following list can be successfully used in place of the "WAKE" portion above.
CALCULATOR - Launch default Calculator app
CALENDAR - Launch default Calendar app
CALL - Launch default Dialer app
CAMERA - Launch default Camera app
CONTACTS - Launch default Contacts
ENVELOPE - Launch default Email app
EXPLORER - Launch defualt Browser app
MUSIC - Launch default Music app
None if the entries in the list above will WAKE the phone. The phone must be awake.
After editing, save the file and then reboot the device to implement the changes.
I remounted /system 'rw', changed WAKE to CALL, remounted /system 'ro', rebooted, looked at /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl and the change is there after the reboot, but the QuickButton doesn't bring up the phone. Bummer.
The phone was awake when I pushed the QuickButton.
Jim
Sorry. Correction... Change "INFO" to one of the apps listed and remove "WAKE". Save then reboot.

That works. We can mark it "SOLVED" and close it.

Question And FeedBack about Custom Stock Lollipop Lockscreen

Dear All,
I just published my first module on xPosed. Don't be hard with me if there are any trouble. However if you describe the bugs, I would be glad to solve it. I have done a few set of test on my Nexus 5 but it should works on any device with stock Android Lollipop. This module allows you to change the two shortcuts on the stock lockscreen.
You can use this thread if you have any question or feedback about the module.
PS: English is not my native language, please don't mind for the spelling & grammar mistakes.
UPDATE 12/03/2016:
A new module is available to do the same thing but on Marshmallow devices (HERE)
Changelog 2.1 :
-You can change the color of the ClockView, Icon Tint, ...
-You can resize the icons
Changelog 2.0 : (Due to deep changes, you may need to reinstall the app or reselect your shortcuts after update)
- You can now use « real android shortcuts » (like google maps route, voice recognition, inbox reminder,…)
- You can choose your icon directly from your gallery
- Improved some interface details (Better material design integration)
- Minor bug fixes.
Changelog 1.2 :
- Minor bug fixes.
- You can now activate or deactivate shortcuts
- Tablet support for the left shortcut (I do not have any tablet to test so I hope it works :\, just tell me if it’s not)
Changelog 1.1 :
- Improved some interface details and minor bug fixes.
- Bug about the camera preview when you launch a shortcut fixed
- You can now edit the text which appear when you hit a shortcut on the lockscreen
- You can now activate or deactivate the “natural white tint” of the icon shortcut on the lockscreen
-List of apps sort by alphabetical order
Works great on my HTC One M7 running CM12 and Xposed, thanks! Been looking for a way to do this.
Love how it changes the icons and makes them white. Have it set to whatsapp and chrome atm
Tried on my M7 too and it works
But I found that if I click on an icon instead of swiping the tip is in your language (I think..) like "balayer l'ecran vers la droite"

Thanks guys for feedback, I appreciate.
I know it is in french and I'm sorry about that. My first goal was to make a module as quickly as possible to change shortcuts on the lockscreen. However I work on an update which enable you to customize this text.
Works great on my m7 with gpe lollipop.
But would it be possible to add a option to choose a image or color instead of what can be seen on the attached pictures?
It's kinda odd to see the grey screen with a camera symbol while opening WhatsApp
Thanks alot, will definitely keep an eye on this!

Yeah I know that's really strange. OP can't you set it to be just like the left shortcut? The left shortcut (previously the phone shortcut) does not have this problem and it has a nice transition
I'm on it. I will try to publish an update before the end of the week-end
New update 1.1
Would you be able to add the ability to change the lockscreen wallpaper? There's no easy way to change just the wallpaper on the lockscreen, while having the main wallpaper be different.
Will be able to add a shortcut left from the tablet in the future?
Great job on this mod! I only want 1shortcut with the other shortcut set as NONE. Is there a way to do that? Thanks
It would be amazing if you could implement slim lock screen shortcuts :fingers-crossed:
Is it possible if you can make it able to change lockscreen clock as well?
Nice module, great work!!!
Would be nice if you can select a shortcut instead of an app, for example a shortcut to a tasker task.

Currently my workaround is to set my launcher (nova) as app for the shortcuts, so that after unlocking, it will go straight to the homescreen. Not a perfect solution, because unlocking still takes longer because of the app starting process (which also seems to take longer with this module if I choose the contact app compared to the stock setting with the contact app) :/
Funny, it seems most people here want LESS from the lockscreen, while I want more.
I don't know exactly how you would do it with the current setup, but I would love something akin to the lock ring targets found in 4.x roms. I loved being able to launch right into 5 or 6 programs right from the lockscreen. I've tried so, so many third party ones but none of them have the same ease of use or functionality that the stock one employs while also being a seamless experience.
With that being said, I would obviously love if someone were able to get more targets (an idea that I had was to start to pull up and THEN have the targets appear above or something, but I don't know how feasible this is)

I don't have a problem with shortcuts on the lockscreen, I just have a problem with the way they are implemented in Lollipop. For unlocking you have to swipe up, but I usually swipe kind of diagonal from down left to up right (seems to be a habit from kitkat and prior). That works like 90% of the time. In 10% I accidentally open the dialer, which is very annoying, since it costs time.
Thats why I want to kill the dialer shortcut
Now that you mention it I had that problem when I started to use Lollipop with that. At this point it's mostly resolved but every now and again I do end up going straight into an app
If you are using pin or pattern lock, every time you need to swipe up first to input the unlock pattern, is there a way to default to input pattern? And swipe down if I want to go back to the lock screen? I wish Google made the shortcuts optional....
