I'm running Froyo 2.2 Stock Deoxed version on my Samsung Vibrant and I just received my first MMS since I installed JL4 and I get the error message "unable to download, please try later" (or something along those lines).
I know that there have been issues with blurry pictures and also I have seen some send issues, but not been able to track down an issue with not being able to download at all. I would like it to work with my current ROM without having to reflash. So if we do have a solution on the issue please let me know.
I had that issue too. Using the same Rom as well. But started using Chompsms for my text and mms messages. No more problems.try it from the market!

Installed ChompSMS and it didn't work at first. Then I rebooted and now my Chomp is working like a champ.
Glad I could help

Wondering if anyone can help me out... I backed up my text messages with Ti Pro like I have done many times before ( Back up [SMS/MMS/APN]). I usually don't have any trouble restoring my text messages by simply restoring from TI Pro and rebooting. However, This is my first install of Vanilla AOSP VooDoo and when I restore/reboot the messages are cleared, but not restored. Any ideas? Do I need to move the database to a different location? Thanks in advance for the help!
P.S. I'm coming from DJ05 to Vanilla AOSP
I've never trusted TiBu with my SMS or call logs, so I wouldn't know. BUT, you can try reverting back to the ROM you were just on, restoring, then using an app called "SMS Backup & Restore", free on the market. It will backup SMS to an XML file on your SD Card. Then flash back to AOSP and use the same app to restore from file.
Maybe not the answer you were looking for but it's a solid work-around.

No other ideas then? It would be interesting to know what went wrong since it will probably apply to cm7 and minuit and the like

If the messages were backed up from the touchwiz mms app, then that's the only app that they are going to restore to.
I've tested some apps from this skyrocket thread and some work for our phone while others don't.

I was thinking of trying to get the dialer from an ICS rom. I tried the ex dialer from the market but I'd like the stock one back. Maybe I'll look for it tomorrow.

I tried an ICS dialer from the Skyrocket forums but it just messed up my phone had to use nandroid backup. I'm thinking it was maybe a GB update and not for 4.0.3

Thanks for this. I much prefer the stock MMS app. Additionally, I've tested the Calendar app on DAGr8's ICS alpha 2 and it works great and includes the stock widget.
Are you able to receive MMS messages with the stock MMS.apk frozen? I have not been able to. They just fail to download.

Yep. Wasn't sure what freezing in Titanium Backup was so I tried my own thing. All I did was install it from the Play Market. Then in Titanium Backup under "Backup/Restore" I long pressed on "[SMS/MMS PREFS] Messaging 4.0.3-144" (see first attached image) then clicked "Open system details...". In there I disabled Messaging (see second attached image).
Just tested MMS and was able to receive a picture text from my fiance (see third attached image for success!) Hopefully this helps.

Thanks, I use TiBu all the time.
Apparently, there's some bug where it won't receive MMS from iPhones. This would be a problem for me since my wife has an iPhone 4. It would also explain why I thought I want getting them at all since she was the one I kept asking to send me test messages.
No success with email.apk

Sorry about that. I'm new to TiBu so I figured I'd err on the side of caution and be thorough with what I did (plus I had no idea if that was how to freeze an app and there was no mention of freezing in TiBu itself). I meant no disrespect, friend

No worries, your post will help others, too. Providing more information is never a bad thing.

Did you also replace exchange.apk as well? You have to do both.

I am in this same situation. I can send/receive sms messages fine to and from iPhone users. I can send MMS to iPhone user without any problem, but I can not receive MMS from iPhone.
Is there any known workaround for this?
Nevermind.

Odd, I grabbed them out of a Galaxy Nexus CM9 package and installed them manually and no issues at all. I attached what I used, try them out. Make sure to replace or rename the existing Samsung versions.
Anyone has issues with the aosp mms not be able to receive mms from sprint phones? Mms sent from another att phone shows up fine but the ones from sprint phones will say fail to download.

Tried that. It just made my phone freeze, and un-freeze, and freeze again over and over. Any special trick to it?

Im using Checkrom, yeaterday I went to Kitchenrom and saw a mod saying it changes the messasing app to have sent time and unlimited recipients etc. It sounds great but after installing my sms is messed up. If u send a message to someone and he replies immediately then his sms will be ABOVE mine, which means he has answered before I asked. I tried everything but couldnt fix it, I went to the Kitchen but it doesnt have the original ver, which was stupid. I tried to install other mods but it was no use. I am crazy about this and I dont want to reinstall the rom jusy because of this.
Anyone has a solution or coild send me ur messaging app ?
Im using Checkrom Revo HD6, it's a 2.3.6

I have been searching for the past week or so, to no avail, for the AOSP contact app, and possibly phone app also, that is modified to read phone only contacts instead of your Google contacts.
Is there one out there already for 4.2 or is there a way to enable this on my current contact app? I'm going to look with SQLite Editor in a bit to see if there is a modification I can make that will allow it, but if you know how to enable it, know how to edit it in somehow (I don't mind doing it myself), or anything that would be of help please please please post it.
I know I can use a third party so to do this but I would rather not if I can avoid it.
P.S. I'm running VRB 6-12 in case that info helps.

So I'm pretty much an idiot, I tried finding out how to make the contacts app just sync my VCF card...... Anyway my issue was that even though I told Google not to sync ANYTHING it was still syncing contacts, I wiped the, all out and turned everything to do with sync off and imported ,y contacts and everything works!
Sorry for being a schmuck, I'm having a off week.
