I got RCS features yesterday with an upgrade to Google Messages Beta without having to do the workaround. I thought it was a fluke until I saw this article tonight. Looks like Google is slowly rolling it out to everyone.
I updated and turned on chat features. I'm not seeing any difference whether I'm texting Android or iPhone users?*

You won't see a difference unless the person you are texting has a RCS capable client too.

Works only with Google Message app and RCS enabled on both sides. No real interest
Sorry for my ignorance, but I but are you guys saying your able to get the chat feature to work or no? I'd long to use it if the chat function worked

It's working, but amongst my several hundreds contacts only one uses it. On the contrary everyone has WhatsApp, which is really cross platform, independent fully from phone operators. Concerning safety going through Facebook versus going through Google I don't see the difference.
So as I said earlier, this technology is 5 years too late, everyone is used to something else.

Yeah it won't even give me the ability to turn Chat features on in the beta version or regular version it's nice when I'm flying I can text my wife over Wi-Fi without having to download What's App or use Facebook Messenger

I came across this article on Reddit and I found this in my build prop
persist.radio.multisim.config=dsds
DS DS for dual SIM I guess
persist.rcs.supported=0
That article didn't mention anything about the second prop I found change DS single on the top one and then change the 02 a1 cross my fingers and reboot
When I had my pixel and my Nexus phones I could use the chat function for iPhone users or anybody hooked to Wi-Fi I was texting because I would get send and read receipts it only during chat was I able to get those.

I changed the RCS supported to a 1 then cleared data for messages and carrier config...no bootloop for me, but I didn't mess with the Sim I instead placed my sim into slot 1 berfore I tried
It allowed me to sign up for chat then it said standby for verification code I wish they sent me and no I have the chat screen looking like this and it is working. It has been solid ...I was only comfortable with 1 config change after I did a prop config back up

Did you also change that dsds to none as linked in you post? After I rebooted it would only boot into TWRP and file explorer did not show a build prop file.

I tried it but I did it through build prop editor and instead of putting DS DS I put single and placed simit in slot one. That works for me just fine included as well but now I am running DS DS back in that part of the prop file along with the enable RCS set to-1
So basically I made a change the first time I attempted it on the Sims slot but I changed it back and set it up as dsds
You have voice over Wi-Fi enabled? I've been reading a lot of things about Android 10 flashing a lot of guys say if you get a boot loop shut it off and try to reboot again. That if that doesn't work I'll go to recovery wipe the dalvik/art only then reboot. The other thing I have done I forgot about this I set my selinux to permissive for a sound mod I'm running so that may play a part in it?

Hello,
I send a lot of text messages to nearly 200 contacts on a semi regular basis. I have an excellent app that does it well. The only issue is I constantly get permission messages saying I'm sending too many and if I wanna authorize more, its very annoying and if I don't accept it as soon as it comes up, will usually delay my messages.
So my question is, how do I remove/change that SMS limit on Android 5.0? IRS definitely baked into the OS cause as I said, any SMS app gets the same issue.
All help and thoughts appreciated!
- Master Ramy
PS: I tried a couple SMS limit apps on the Play Store, nothing updated for lollipop yet.
Bump, anyone able to help me? Any devs want to weigh in?

Sure, but I also understand its an adjustment somewhere in a system database file to change the limit, I found instructions for a Galaxy S3 phone, but its not in the same place. I was hoping one of the devs of said Roms could point me to the right file so I can adjust it manually on stock.
Anyone else?

I think this app works : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mittelmanapps.smslimitunlock
Just intalled it and proceded to a full unlock. Requires root.
Device said the operation is a complete success and needed a reboot to apply all modifications which I just did.
If I don't have the limit, I will come back to confirm this app works.
Hope it works !!!

My phone is rooted and I'm on Dirty Unicorns 5.02. I'm not sure what system you're on but I've sent out 150 messages without an issue using Group SMS Pro. It will ask me to Wait or Kill the app while sending bulk sms, but I hit Wait and everything goes through. Also, I don't send much more than 200 messages at a time because even on KitKat that seemed to be an issue.
So? Did it work?

I to would like to figure out how to work around this limit. I am on Benzo rom 5.1 and under settings/security you can select 30, 50, 100 or 200 but it's a dead setting apparently because I can select 50, 100 or 200 and I still have to approve any text over 30. Did you figure out how to fix it? I tried the linked google play apps to get around but no luck so far
Flash a custom rom - like what was posted in post #2.
Other than that, you're probably out of luck, OP. Just do what anyone else here would do if they *just have to have that ability* - flash the rom.
Thanks for the reply but I will NOT flash LS because everytime I have tried it it borks my phone and I've been dumb enough to try it "one more time" too many times and paid the price. I know it's probably something I'm doing and not the roms fault but done with that one..........:cyclops:
I went back and looked at the app posted above called SMS Limit Unlock and played around a bit more. I changed the Restriction cycle time and Restriction message amount settings a few times when I was in there before but never clicked on 'Unlock'. I did that this time and it went thru a progression and then said I needed to reboot for settings to take hold. I sorta forgot that step before thinking the Unlock was to convert to the paid version of the app. I rebooted just in time to give it a try and it worked exactly as it should so I got it to work correctly.
Figured I'd post this in the thread so in case someone else does a google search on SMS limit problems and they get directed to this thread as I did, hopefully this will work for them as well. I am on Benzo 5.1 and it worked...... Yippeeeee

1. Root Phone
2. Download/Install a Different SMS(texting) app from the Google Store
I chose to use the 'Go SMS PRO app
3. Download a Root Uninstaller
I used 'Root Uninstaller Free'
4. Uninstall the stock SMS app, it's called 'Text Messaging' I believe. Can't quite remember
5. Profit!!! Just remember to check the setting in your new SMS app for any limit. In Go SMS PRO you can turn off any limit or have it save upto 100+ texts and then start deleting old ones.
I'm not really sure if uninstalling the stock app can actually cause problems, but a few people told me it Could.
It obviously worked fine on Android 5.0 :laugh:

I have CM but want unlimited back on android 6.01
Hey guys, I've recently switched over to a Nexus 6 from a Note 4, and have run into an issue with sending text messages under Marshmallow. I often send a reminder text to a good-sized group of people, and when I send it I get a warning from Android that Textra is sending a large number of messages. It then asks if I want to allow or deny the messages. I'd like to disable this behavior, but all of the instructions I've found on how to do so are for older versions of Android and don't work under Marshmallow.
So, any ideas of how to disable this behavior? I'm unlocked and rooted, just don't know where to look...Thanks for any help you can offer!

If you look at the popup there is an option to never show this again. Check that. Other then that it cant be gotten around. It is an anti spam/Security measure set in by google.
EDIT - Misread the OP.
It looks like I may have cracked the code on this issue and found a solution for my device.
Here's what has worked for me on my Galaxy S4 running a custom AOSP Rom. I don't know if this works on the nexus 6. Try this!
1.) Download Terminal Emulator or some other Terminal App
2.) Open Terminal app and grant SU either by prompt or by typing "su" as a command
3.) After SU access is acquired in Terminal Emulator/app type:
settings put secure sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms 0
4.) Reboot!
Let me know if this works for you!
It will still be blocked by the carrier as it is a 2 step deal. First the device blocks it and then the carrier also flags large amounts as spam. We had the same issue and had to go to a messaging app to get around the limit.

Some carriers may block it but AT&T does not. I was using a CM ROM that had it unlocked and I've been sending messages to 200 people at a time. This mod is now working for me on ROMs that do not have it unlocked. YMMV

If it is working then their spam blocker is not working as it should. The blocker was added a few years ago when I was working for ATT and we had to explain it to business users about the limit and advised them to switch to a messaging program.

In that case, I am glad they are not using their spam blocker! I've been using unlocked CM ROMs for years which has allowed me to send broadcast messages to my 200+ member sales team. This mod is now allowing me to use a locked AOSP ROM that I've wanted to use for a very long time. After unlocking sms, I can now send as many messages as I want without getting that annoying pop-up warning. WIN!

You can ask but they will most likely deny that it is there or just flat out refuse. It is a security thing and thankfully it is in place or we would have spamming sms like the rest of the world does.
As for a messaging program I mean something like Telegram, hangouts or something of that nature.

Unfortunately, it looks like the method I posted is not actually working. Messages sent above 30 were not actually being sent. Oh well... back to using my custom CM 13 based ROM that has increased the sms limit to 200 per minute. It's not totally unlocked but at least I can send more than 30 messages at once without being annoyed by the confirmation prompt. Bummer!

If your device is supported, try flashing a custom ROM like Team OctOS (this is the one I'm using) or Cyanide M which has the limit removed.
This seems fairly odd that there wouldn't be a fix for Marshmallow... I mean, if a custom ROM can implement it, why couldn't a code edit somewhere resolve the issue? I understand that it could be limited on the carrier side, but speaking as someone who likes to occasionally mess with friends using an sms bomber on Verizon, I don't think they do THAT much limiting... Other carriers obviously might be different. Still, I don't understand why it can't be resolved at the phone level at least.

I am currently using another custom ROM created by @side called Optimized CM13 for the Samsung Galaxy S4 where he also removed the SMS limit. Maybe he can provide some answers to your questions. I agree it would be nice if there were an easy way to remove the limit on any ROM you chose.
Anyone activated DIGITS and tried out the app on S8 yet?
If so, what are your impressions and annoyance?
I signed up for the beta back when it started, just put it on my Verizon iPhone 7 (work) and it works flawlessly.
On the S8 there is no additional app needed, it's all integrated into the stock ROM. The dialer and SMS apps let you choose which line you want to call or text from. It also tells you what device made a call. Works flawlessly.

Yep, i was on unbranded firmware which was missing the Multilines settings, so flashed back to official TMO firmware and now everything is seamless without a hitch. Enjoying DIGITS although I don't have plan to carry 2 numbers.

My apologies. I should have included the fact that there is a known issue with the location of those settings on the S8/S8+. Another manager in my district activated Digits, rebooted his S8+ and the Multi Line settings disappeared. I along with him & others have reported it to the Digits team and apparently there is an OTA update coming to address it. In the mean time they've suggested using the Digits app for those having issues.
I'm on the AQC9 with all updates blocked and it's working flawlessly so I'm not sure where the issue resides

I have the s8 and the gear s3 and digits works fine without a problem didn't have to set up anything on the phone. I have 2 lines one for me and one for the wife.
I just wish I could put my S3 line into digits.
Ok I work for T-Mobile and I know how to make the digits multi line setting appear. It's a process though so get ready.
First you have to log in to the T-Mobile app. So if yoiu don't have it or deleted it download it again from Play Store. Log in and hit the menu button > usage and plans. You should see a button that says to unlock digits. Click it.
A message will then appear telling you multi line has been added. But you need to restart your phone for it to show up. It will be in clouds and account in settings.
I can't upload any screenshots as mines is activated already and the button goes away. But after thatnjust sign in to your t-mobile account.
Now FYI!!!!
You need to have someone registered as the PRIMARY ACCOUNT HOLDER ON MY.T-MOBILE.COM BECAUSE WHEN YOU ACTIVATE YOUR DIGITS NUMBER AND PUT IT IN. IT SENDS A REQYEST TO THE PRIMARY ACCOUNT HOLDER TO ALLOW THE NUMBER TO BE USED ON THAT DEVICE! IF NOT YOU WILL GET STUVK WITH A "WAITING FOR APPROVAL " MESSAGE FOREVER AND HAVE TO LOG OUT AND STSRT THIS WHOLE PROCESS OVER. ADDED A PAH AFTER WON'T SEND AN APPROVAL TEXT.

I know, two months late here, but I'm wondering if you ever got that figured out. I've done the same with an AT&T phone (TMB/TMB/ATT) and can't get the multi-line to enable. Using Shortcut Master I can get the Multi-line config to launch, but trying to sign-in to my account just gets me a screen that says "Updating Multi-line settings... Please try again later."

Hey, yeah I did manage to get it to work. Had the same issue, using Nova I could get to the multiline settings but no options actually worked. I ended up swapping my sim into an actual T-Mobile phone that has digits integration (S7 edge), then unlocking it on their website for Digits to work, and then swapped it back, and I got the little popup saying that multiline was enabled. Seems like the sim has to be provisioned.
I like the Digits Apps for Windows and MacOS. Its like having iMessage. The only issue I've had is that text sent from the PC don't show up on my phone. Still nice though I can send and receive text on the PC. I can also make and take phone calls.
Ok so I'm posting this because we started to get off topic in the other thread, not because I think you will find it useful lol.
Basically the steps I will outline will trigger your Google Dialer to try and activate VVM. If you are on Sprint like me, all it will do is add the voicemail tab. I've seen posts from others that say the app does import all of their current Voicemails but no new ones after that. Maybe that is carrier specific or maybe if you are signed up for VVM through your carrier it works, I don't personally know.
Anyway, here we go.
What you'll need:
1- A rooted device - I'm guessing this will work on all devices not just our V30s but I haven't tested elsewhere. Feel free to provide feedback if you see this and try it on other phones, and then maybe this post can move to general Android instead of V30.
2- Google dialer installed - mine has been converted to a system app, and I'm part of the beta, so I can update through play store. I am also running magisk modules that may be allowing all of this to happen, such as xml pack, Google framework, and some others. Shout out to their respective devs, thank you.
3 - The app Shortcut Master which is available as a paid app on play store.
4 - some patience because this literally only works sometimes for unknown reasons. Maybe we can narrow down the failure rate with some trial and error but for now I can't tell you why it works sometimes and other times nada. The upside is, there seems to be no I'll effects from trying and failing.
Tldr.
You need root, Google dialer (maybe as as a system app) and the app Shortcut Master to get this done.
You should probably Force close the Google dialer app before you start so the settings take hold. Not sure if you have to, but shouldn't hurt to do it.
Step one:
Open shortcut master. Click search and enter the word "voicemail"
Step two:
You'll see lots of results. Ignore them all and scroll down to ones under the Phone App. Find VoicemailSecretCode and click launch. (I guess you could also just search that instead of just Voicemail)
Step 3:
You'll see a white screen with two options.
Sync
VVM config override < click this one.
Step 4:
Press the top option titled "load current"
You'll see it change some of the fields. This is just pulling in the current config and since you don't have much going on, very little should change.
Step5
Click the Override toggle.
Input your phone number (see pics)
Press back once when done.
Step 6
You should back to the white page with the two options again. This time press sync.
That's it. I'm not sure what makes this work since sometimes it doesn't. If you're hasn't updated with the voicemail section, try power cycling and relaunching dialer. If that doesn't work, clear the cache. If it still doesn't work you can try clearing all data, Force closing,and then following the steps again.
Now you should have the voicemails tab. It will try and activate for a while by sending you a provisioning text. It is going to send this text alot at first so be warned as I don't know if it's a free text (do people still have limited texts??)
You will now have a bit more options in your settings menu under Voicemail, however since it never provisions (or at least mine doesn't) the added options are not accessible.
Enjoy your extra tab of nothingness lol.
Feel free to throw around some thanks
*edit: The 9 attached screenshots are basically all of the steps in order except for the last two which need to be swapped. If you read them left to right you would follow 1-7, then pic 9, then pic 8 would be the last one.
Reserved for updates
Oops. And one pic was missing, second to last step. Will update into first post later... See below.

I noticed in your screenshot you never blacked out the 40.
Is that part of your phone number? Or did it load that and you entered your number with it?

I will just say I've only gotten it fully working on the US998 roms (I haven't tried the steps here yet). So it's very possible some carrier branded roms have stuff that mess with apps accessing voicemails, at least ones that use the carrier's database, not 3rd party ones with their own servers like youmail or Google voice. Maybe because some carriers charge for any kind of visual voicemail. Verizon does for the premium transcribing version. Just my 2 cents. I'll see if following this stuff helps me get it working on the vs996 rom I'm on now and report back if I do.

Phone number.
Curious, Where did you get your port info?
Also, noted that your preloaded part of the VVM ends with CVVM while mine is Omtp. Possibly because tmo supports vvm and Sprint is carrier blocked to their own severs???
Have you received some activation texts since reconfiguring? And have any Voicemails loaded?

Since you mentioned Google Voice, I figured it would be a good chance to start the conversation about GV, Sprint, a possible VVM workaround, and a theory I have....
I am sure that someone out there has to know the proper info/settings/specs that would allow us to bypass carrier VM and instead pull from Google Voices VVM service. Or at least I think we can all figure it out through some trial and error.
Right now I have all of my missed calls sent to GV. This allows me to ignore Sprints annoying VM service and paid VVM. All calls bypass sprints VM and instead the message gets transcribed by GVs VVM service. There must be a way to find out what GV ports and packages need to be set and in place in order to tell the dialer to read from there. I've already tried inputting my GV number instead of my Sprint # but all that does is change where the activation texts are sent.
From what I can tell, the Google dialer does not have some VVM server of it's own that it can call on. Nothing in the manifests or code that I could find. It basically only has the ability to piggy back off of a carriers server and relay it into the app as a duplicate (think pop3 / imap).
I believe this is the case because I've seen people post that their dialer absorbed all of their current VVMs but wouldn't find new ones. This probably means that the app is pointed to the place that Vvm are stored either on the device on their carriers server, but they won't get new ones because the app is not authenticated pull data.
So if we can find someone whose Google Dialer pulled in their current batch of VVM and see what their settings look like, we can see what it's pointed at in order to read that data one time and transfer it in. If we can figure out the corresponding file in the GV app, then we ate half way there!
If we can then take that info, and combine it with some knowledge of GV/Google/ and their usual servers ports etc. I think we can create a work around that would allow everyone to get free VVM by setting up a dummy (or real like in my case) Google voice number to use its transcription service instead of the carrier.
Side note for anyone who wants to hear my little conspiracy theory....
Sprint until very recently let you integrate a Google voice account. It's slightly different than just having the Google voice app. Not going to go through all the differences, but basically it was possible to have you GV # carrier integrated until recently.
I think the reason Sprint no longer does this is because Google's VVM rollout. I.e. if GV was still integrated, a quick change of the settings above and it would have properly activated Google's VVM service to work instead of the Sprint version.

Interesting. Just so we can start to trial and error our way to a better world, would you mind sharing a couple details? I may ask everyone to answer a few of these and see if we can start to work our way through this and get to some working versions.
Your Carrier:
Current Carrier VVM status: (i.e do you already have a vvm app o your phone that works, do you pay for it, is it the stock carrier app, etc.)
Since you did the GDialer Configuration Update(the steps in post 1)...
Is your Google Dialer VVM working now?
Have you received provisioning texts? No (you already answered this one)
If you already had a VVM service, did you have transcribed messages in your carrier VVM app?
If yes, did they transfer into your Google Dialer VVM tab?

Good find! I would venture a guess and say that you found something useful there.
Since it looks like that grayed out image is pointing to your TMO VVM box, I would suggest using the two ports listed there and trying them in the Google Dialer Configuration. Meaning the 443 and 8082 #s. I am not sure which is which, but if you try them both maybe it will point the dialer at the stored VVM data.

Damn, it would have been cool if we figured it out that fast.
Hopefully some more people will post their configurations and we can make some progress. Thanks for trying.
Can't find Shortcut Maker in the market or at least the one that looks like in the screen shots.

Now that the phone is officially out, has anyone outside the US pulled their Google Messages apk and uploaded it anywhere? Curious to see if we can get it working on the US variant.
What's different than the play store version?

It works with call/message continuity for people who have tablets (messages can normally only be forwarded if you use Samsung Messages). Might be some other cool stuff or differences too, but that's what I'm after.

Someone probably will need to repackage and sign it. Usually you can't just install a system app off of another device. I haven't been into Android modding/development for a few years, so hopefully someone can get that done now that we have this APK here.
If someone can get this working ,it would be great. I jumped to U TMO firmware to keep RCS and not lose text and phone on my TabS7+

We honestly might even need their Call & Text on Other Devices apk too. The current one we have tries to kick you off if another SMS app is installed.
I've tried to sign the app but, it still refuses to install. Let me know if any of you have any luck!
I don't have the watch or tablet so I don't need the continuity part. Annoyingly my s21 no longer has encrypted messages.

Is it not linked to the version in the Play Store for updates or beta sign up? Encryption was a beta feature.
It is still linked but whenever it updates it has a slightly different file name and no encryption. But the version number still matches the latest beta version. For now I uninstalled updates, sideloaded the regular version and disabled automatic updates.
Anyone manage to get this working yet?

I'd probably start a separate bounty thread for it. I don't want to make multiple threads on the same topic though myself, so I'll let someone else. It'll likely be a two part job though with both the Google Messages and Call & Text on Other Devices apps needing modifications.
Would also chip in if someone could get this working for us

Try using Total Commander app from Google store, I get most of 'other' apps installed with that app. The apk files must go to root Download folder so you can easily find it on Total Commander and install it after you grant permission for it. It works on non-rooted phones as well.

Function aborted!

Please select all split APK parts!
Are we missing more apk?
Does anyone have any screenshots of the actual app. Are there any visual differences in the one ui messages version?
Just an FYI for anyone hoping to use RCS on their tablet
I got the beta on my exynos s21u and while it does work with the call & text anywhere feature, it currently only replies as SMS even if the inbound msg is RCS
I'll also contribute some funds to get this working if need be. Sad my S21 snapdragon doesn't come with it already. Samsung really needs to polish their brand and stop making it so diverse between countries.
