Modified / Black Mms.apk

I take no credit for this file!!
I'm just publishing an updated Mms.apk since so many users are having issues with txt over 160 chars.
To use, must run a DeOdexed theme & running a ADB setup.
This updated Mms.apk includes:
1) Ability to split txt messages over 160 chars.
2) Change the default attachment folder.
3) Custom user agent.
4) Black background. *Must uncheck box, recheck & restart application to take effect."
FILE:
http://www.theslacker.org/~s3v3n/ns4g/Mms.apk
How to push this update
1) Plug the USB cable from your phone into your computer.
2) Open up a cmd prompt, type "adb remount" without the quotes.
3) Change to the directory where you downloaded Mms.apk. IE "cd xxx/xxx/xx/Mms.apk".
4) Type "adb push Mms.apk /system/app"
5) Reboot your phone and congrats, your messaging app should be updated. =)

File not found! Ah, but nevermind, I found it by browsing your site from the root.
I have spent the last 4 hours trying to modify stock Mms.apk to ONLY allow 160+ char split messages. I don't know what I'm doing, obviously. Mostly I've tried modifying the mms_config.xml file, and the setting I have say it should be working... but it's not. :-( Any tips?
Just for test, I've set:
enableMultipartSMS true
maxMessageTextSize -1
smsToMmsTextThreshold 4
maxMessageSize 307200
Now I am able to send a message over 160char, and it DOES split it into multiple messages, however each message is still gibberish. Aggh... this is driving me crazy.

Mirror please

The file is here (slightly different URL than OP):
http://www.theslacker.org/~s3v3n/ns/ns4g/Mms.apk

Any chance on a screenshot of what the inbox and message window looks like? Is it pretty similar to the CM7 black background?

Installing system apps has never worked for me.
I just used root explorer and copied it over then changed permissions to match the other apps and after a reboot it is working fine so far.
Nice find, I've been frustrated trying to use cm7 messaging app on other roms with no luck so this is cool

[Q] Lost torch after rooting.

Just rooted my new Note using Dr.Ketan's guide. All went perfectly well and quick. Big thanks to him.
Reinstalled same stock ROM( Austria). Strange thing: The Samsung application Torch has disappeared. Not a big deal, I know there are tons of them in Plays store.
I liked that one because it had 3 levels of brightness. Just curious: did it happen to anyone?

i have same problem.
i think you downgraded to older ROM (maybe base on 2.3.5) which not included torch app

I downgrated to older rom to get it rooted, but after I flashed exactly same rom, that i had before rooting.

Look if you still have the app in /system/app..
What kernel do you have? Some said that app does not work with kernels other than CF-Root and IIRC latest franco..

I have pda N7000XXLC1, PHONE N7000XXLB2, CSC N7000XXLB3,
It is exactly as before rooting.
kernel 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLC1-CL1003701
I can't find system folder. Don't see the torch in Titanium backup

Go to Settings > About Phone and see what's under kernel..
Use a file manager with root privileges (ES File Explorer, Root Explorer etc) and navigate to /system/app and look there
If you don't find it, open your backup zip with 7zip (or any ROM zip that you know it has that app) and copy the apk from there to your /system/app folder using one of the file managers mentioned above and set permissions like the other apks and reboot..

I know, that my rom had it and doesn't have it now..

it is not in /system/app. Sorry for the dumb question, but where my backup zip. suppose to be? thanks

Ohh..I assumed you made a backup before flashing..
I just check an old LB1 ROM I have and there is an apk named torchwidget.apk I think it's what you're looking for, check if you already have it but if you don't I'll upload it for you..

no, I didn't do backup because there is the same rom in Doctors list, so i flashed it after rooting. I checked in my apps, i don't have it. If you upload it, it would be great. thanks

I appologize, I do have it in system/apps, but it doesn't run for some reason

Here is the file:
Download HERE
- Move that file to your sd card
- Use any file manager with root privileges
- Copy and paste that file to /system/app
- Long press on it and choose "Permissions" from the menu
- Set the permissions so it will be like the other apks in that folder "rw-r--r--"
- Reboot your phone and test the widget

That's weird..
Even when you try to add the widget to your home screen?

the permissions are same as for other apps. To move it to home screen i need to see it in applications,right? but i don't have it there. Am i missing something?i see it only in file manager

It might be only a widget without actual app..
Go to Settings > Applications > All, do you see it there?
If so then it's only a widget and not a full app, long press on your home screen and see if it appears under the widgets list..

[Q] I changed provider and the simtoolkit is not present

I have JB XXLPZ and changed provider today.
From the documentation from the provider I need to set things via the simtoolkit. I don't see the icon and can't find it anywhere?
Also I have the phone rooted and am running the TZ 3.5 kernel.
Any hints or tips?

Install SD Maid app, press left soft button and go to settings of that app. Check "Include system packeges?". Go back, then go to tab APPCONTROL. Refrash it, then search for stk. Press on it, and tap on Start application.

Check 10 times and I'm not in airplane mode as I can call en be called. Only data requires some settings for this provider and must be setup via the simtoolkit as per their instuctions.

I installed it, but it doesn't show up in the list.
Also original rooted kernel didn't make a change.
When I use ES file-explorer and go to the /system/app folder I see a stk.apk and stk.odex
I was now able to install the stk, but it doesn't show up in the app drawer. Installed size is 0KB.

Reboot. You pushed this file? And did remove previous apk and odex file of it?
P.S. If you really need that app to open do this:
1. Make backup in CWM.
2. Flash stock FW with Odin. And do factory reset. Or try with factory reset first, without flashing JB with Odin again, if that do not help, then flash FW.
3. Use app for your needs
4. Root phone again
5. Install TZ 3.5
6. Restore your backup.

I removed the previous two files and copied the one you supplied in it's place.
Ran sd-mail and was able to find the stk app. Unable to run it though.
Then reboot.
After the reboot the sd-maid app was unable to find the stk application like the original ones.

Ok. Will do that tomorrow.
For now I use the Wifi hotspot functionality from my company phone.
I need to do the following:
Choose Roaming services.
Choose Selecteer Mode.
Choose Manueel.
Choose International.
Simcard gets updated.
If you know any app that can do the following then I'm all ears
Thanks and I'll update tomorrow!

Solved!
The provider said that my simcard didn't need to be changed because it was of the newer type. So the sim toolkit was not being able to run because it detected the newer type.
Then I explained that I still had no internet. She talked me throug all the settings and they were fiine. On their website there are numerous samples per phone on how to setup this manually.
Is seems that the settings defer for some phones. They told me I had to type "internet" in the access type section while it had to be "default" what I found out by checking the phone of my wife. She has the same provider.
After changing I had my dataconnection.
Thanks for thinking with me!

Disappearing picture thumbnails on custom rom

So when i change rom to ressurection remix (on cm i had same problem) i notice that my picture thumbnails in every single one gallery are disappearing. i can view them (sometimes not...) but when i browsing folders some thumbanils are showing but then they disappearing.

It the app that scans for media and creates the thumbnails. Sorry, I don't have CM13 installed anymore, I think the app name is Media Server, you can check it using Link2SD.
I had the same folders as you, and it fixed the problem I had (lots of missing thumbnails). You may want to delete this too, it's the music album covers, not in the gallery:
/sdcard/Android/com.android.providers.media/

Does it have Google Dailer?
Does this option not exists? http://www.gadgetdetail.com/coloros-6-how-to-setup-call-recording/
Could you plz check?
Thnx

Call recording is not present in EU ROM. But I'm pretty sure that it will be there as soon as custom stock ROM is out as I think it's simply a property to enable in some file (needs root).

In case you're still searching, there's a solution for rooted EU roms; I tested it successfully:

It doesn't have Google Dialer. And you can't install it unless you're rooted, because there is no Google Dialer Framework installed. If you are rooted, there is a magisk module that installs Google Dialer Framework, and after that you can install google dialer (but that doesn't have call recording).

I just followed the instructions. If you're rooted, just go to /system/etc/oppoRegionMarkFeatures/ in your file manager. You should see a bunch .xml files with country codes, which apparently turn on/off certain features, but for call recording they're probably not relevant. I copied com.oppo.region mark.EUEX.xml first somewhere safe and opened it with an editor. There's a line that says feature name="oppo.phone.nodisplayrecord". I deleted the line, saved and rebooted. This activates the hidden option. Then go to settings, search for "call recording". You should see "System Apps > Call > Call recording" Activate the option "record all calls" (or "record unknown numbers"), call some number. You should see a green "recording standby" icon in the call wait screen and text changes automatically once it starts recording. Recordings are listed in the "Recorder" app. Voila. Ping me later and I can post the screenshots of the settings screens.

I am using this https://nllapps.com/apps/acr/ and it works. It just has one bummer and that it doesn't save the number of the person you called. So, you have to assign it after a call.

But didn't you replaced the original one with the edited one?
I did it (with TWRP File Manager).
Did you only edited it, without replacing it?
What I did is:
1. Copy the EUEX XML to "internal memory".
2. Edit the copied file removing the whole line (from < to >) and without leaving the blank line.
3. Reboot to TWRP.
4. From TWRP File Manager copy the edited file to origin folder, overwriting the stock XML).
5. Reboot to OS.
As you can see in the screenshot, no more "nodisplayrecord" line and no blank line before "blacklist"line.

Yes. I browsed to the directory and edited the XML file directly using my file manager (I use X-plore but any rooted app should also do).
The copy I made was not for offline-editing purposes, it's a habitual backup just in case
Try editing the file directly. If it doesn't work, you might wanna check if the line is in the other XML files in the same folder. Maybe there is a country-specific XML file.
ps: I'm on 11_A.08, EU version.
