the saved files may have been erased or corrupted.

From my experience with ringdroid, my bet is that those files got corrupted. It's happened twice so far after I made my ringtone with it. It hasn't happened in a while, but in any case, I have it backed up on my pc.
I have a o2 contract SGSII.
When I try and send a text message which is over 3sms in length, the phone converts it to a mms. This is annoying as I have to pay extra for mms whereas sms is included in my allowance.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Is there a way to stop it?
Thanks
Yup same thing here on Vodafone simfree phone. Be cool to get rid of this limit as I too get free sms but not mms!

It is a known limitation of stock SMS Android application.
To get rid of this problem, use third party SMS apps, like Go SMS Pro (my favorite), Handcent SMS and many others.

Please please please Do!! Thanks in advance!
Many of us use sms a lot and i frequently send out long long long stories to my friends. Here in India while SMS is free for my carrier, MMS is charged!
So please help!
I like the stock app since it has a big field to write the messages, not just two or three lines unlike other.
Does any third party app have this?
Found what's causing it. Now just to figure out how to prevent it
Think it's fixed. I'll pop an experimental fix in VRTweaks for it in the XWKE2 ROM.
I set it to allow 9 SMS messages before making it into an MMS. Equally, I removed the 10 recipient limit and made it 200, for Christmas/New Year bulk texting
OK. Got a few files to test. Backup the files /system/app/mms.apk mms.odex. Delete MMS.odex now.
Then put these into /system/app/ and reboot. Let me know how it goes.
There's a couple to try. Give them a shot
Try first: www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/VRTweaks/XWKE2/TRYFIRSTmms.apk
Then if that fails, try: www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/VRTweaks/XWKE2/TRYSECONDmms.apk
Remember to rename to just "mms.apk" and let me know how it goes.
Downloading n flashing now gimmie some minutes,
EDIT:- Tried through Root Explorer would not let me install, must I push with ADB if so could you explain Iv'e forgotten how.

I have tried the files you have links to, but when rebooting the message app completely disappears.
When I revert to the backup files and reboot the messaging app comesback again.
@XenonAndroid you don't need to install just place files and reboot (I think).
If you have anymore files to try let me know.
Thanks for the effort!
The stock messaging app also opens mms images as videos for some reason
Is that fixable too?

@Ohmz55; Im sure you rename default mms.apk, copy ova patched and then install it whilst in the System Directory as this is what i had todo to get CM mms.apk working.!

Strange..
Can someone do a logcat so I can see reason for the failure to appear? You need to reboot and look in the log for "mms.apk"
The fix will work, but I need to work out how to get round signature issues
thanks .. we are waiting
When you send a group sms to over 5 people it sends it as a sms for me (no charges) but all the people recieving it got it as an mms :/

Was that using this tweak, or with the stock ROM?
@pulser
I just wanted to clarify i was doing things correctly. This is my first android phone so excuse the noobiness.
I backed up the original mms.apk and mms.odex files.
Then i copied tryfirstmms.apk to system/app. Renamed to Mms.apk (the original had a capital M i dont know if its case sensitive). Then i deleted mms.odex.
Then reboot.
Root explorer gave me the option to install the mms.apk but when i tried it gave me a 'program was.not installed' message.
After the reboot the message app disappeared from the applications screens.
I will try and do a logcat but im just reading up about how to do it.

Sounds fine to me. No need to try to install the APK though... You just need to put it in the folder and reboot the phone You can restore your backups for now to be able to send messages, as I will explain...
I think this will only get fixed when I release VillainROM for the SGS, as I need more control over the system than I can get right now
This fix should work, but Android's security is rejecting the application due to signatures. I know how to fix it, but you need to use a different ROM base which I've been working on here
Hi Guys
Need some advice if that is okay, is anybody else experiencing an SMS Limit? I can write up to three sms then it converts it to MMS which is very annoying because before (desire), i could write 7 or more.
I did search and know there is mod but is there another way, as in, an option?
Im on orange and am using lite'ning rom 1.5
My second question is that any time i try to download anything within the browser (file, apk, video, etc) it always fails. No matter what.
I'm really confused and have looked in the settings but its puzzling me.
If anybody could shed some light, that would be great
Thanks guys
Ash
Can't help with the sms question, sorry. As for the rest, the stock downloader only allows certain types of files to be downloaded, go find the "download all files" app on the market and that will solve that issue
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Thanks mate, i tried the app but still can't download some stuff. But its definitely a lot better than before.
Is it just me who is encountering this problem? Thought this may be a standard thing on the SGS2?
yeah!! the sms limit is definately a problem.. Any Kind souls can guide us how to reslove this sms limit??
Hi, I come from a Stock Rom, and I am trying an omega rom because I'm having problems with the phone.
The phone receives and emits calls, but no sound is transmitted in the mic or the internal speaker, external speaker or headphones. This is a random issue, and Samsung says me that I need to send it to the SAT, but I'm reading that SAT is sending the phone only with a firmware upgrade. And another reading that I've done, is that this is a software's bug.
I want to know If some of you know something about that.
I want to know too if there is a log to view when the microphone or the internal speaker are being used? To try to know what would be the cause.
Thank you for your help.
R: Exist a log in the system?
Dont know what ur problem might be. I dl know theres an app called logcat which rounds up an all system operations log.
its on the store for free....u gotta have root i think

I've a Pollux (SGP321) device. There's a weird sound issue with it. The normal sounds from apps or system don't work. I get no sound when watching​ a video on YouTube or playing videos from my gallery, though the notification tones work fine. I flashed different ROMs (CM14/13, Stock 5.1/4.4/4.1) but I still have this issue!
I use SoundAbout app to fix this issue and it works.
So I understood that it's not a Hardware problem. But if it's a software issue, it should be fixed by flashing a different ROM, but it doesn't!
Can anyone help me figure it out? Or maybe a way to fix this issue?
Thank you

I think something gets screwed in system/etc/mixer_paths.xml file by your installed user app or mod.
