Hello, enjoying my new SGH-i777. I've rooted and easily tried many different ROMS over past 6 weeks, but I'm now so frustrated I'm feeling like going back to my iPhone. Please, please .. anyone help me, .... I'm used to with my iPhone getting pics in my text message thread with the pic immediately there, viewable, and ready to simply touch and expand to larger size if I choose to. With this phone, I either get a pic with a large Play button overlay, a box with "Download" written on it, or sometimes I get a pic just as I'm used to.
I hate this with a passion! All I want is to receive my texts with the pic embedded, view-able and ready to go. I don't want to have to touch a "Play" button then wait while something that looks like a video plays out before I can see my pic.
Is there a ROM, App, or script that I can add to get the same results as with an iPhone when pics are sent in a text message? I luv this phone and don't want to have to go back to my iPhone but this is sooo important to me that it is likely a Deal Breaker! I have AT&T grandfathered in unlimited text and data plan. I have tried ChompSMS, Handcent SMS as well as the native Messaging App that came with the phone. Please help if there is a simple solution that will fix this phone. Thx.
Pretty much use anything other than the stock messaging app whether it be Go SMS, Handcent, chompsms, etc to have something more useful when viewing MMS. You should also make sure that the "Auto-retrieve" option is checked in MMS settings in the stock messaging app.
MIUI's messaging app does what you want.
You receive a picture with a paperclip on it (I think), you touch it and it puts it up on screen. No other apps are involved i do not think... If they are its a seamless transition and you wont notice.
whoever thought the slideshow mms thing was a good idea was a complete moron.

Miui does exactly what you need. I just tried on mine. You tap the thumbnail within the sms message and it opens up the picture with pinch to zoom options - works flawless.
Miui has a crap load of apps but I don't see a messaging app.

I use gosms pro for receiving mms, but to send I use the stock application. I do this, because when sending a picture gowns pro turns the picture sideways. Well at least that's what happens to me.

I use handcent and rarely see what you're talking about.
I only get the slideshow if the person sent multiple pictures in a single message.
I have seen that on other phones, and it is annoying.
Use anything else than the stock.
Go SMS is a good option. I use it and love it. That stupid play button is not an issue. Go SMS is very customizable too. Many themes available and you can make themes too. Don't give up man, these Android devices are all about the individual. You make it your own.
you can either flash miui or flash the mms.apk posted by simba501 in this thread (post #23). i used this mms when i was on custom stock rom and it works. no slideshow mms.
i was sick of the slideshow as well and i also didnt want to go with a 3rd party messaging app so i went this route.
miui message app runs flawless. i also came from iphone, so this was annoying for me.

I also flashed the one posted by Simba501 using cwm works with ics'd out rom also fixed issue of not being able to completely delete texts and being left with a date of Dec 1969 and a blank thread.
This is also the only thing I hate about this phone. No other device I've had does this. Downloaded the miui mms so I'll have to give that a go.

Doubt it. I have used ChompSMS since the early days on the Captivate. My pictures always come in without the slideshow. one click on it and it's enlarged, just as you described. Either your settings are borked or you are making this up.

Sorry about that. You're right. I was looking at post #12 in that thread. Thanks!
Every app I've ever tried, besides for the stock app, turns pictures sideways.
I tried out miui, and it did it. ChompSMS does it.
I don't understand what causes it.

After some time lurking through the Galaxy Tab Forums I saw that some of the Notion Ink apps were ported to the GTab then tested and worked on the Galaxy Tab. I figured I would download the other apps and give them a try on our beloved NOOKcolor.
The first app I tested was the Mail'd App and viola, it worked. I set up my GMail account and it's been running great.

I tried the Calendar and Calculator apps with no luck; I get a parsing error notification. Additionally I was hoping that the QuickOffice HD would install but that didn't work either.
Members in the Galaxy Tab forum noted that the browser worked but need to make a few changes in /system -- see below [thanks Boushh]
Boushh said:
With the browser apk, you must first use root explorer and navigate to /system/app and rename your default Browser.apk to Browswer.apk.bak and then it will install. To go back to the stock modified samsung browser just rename Browser.apk.bak to Browser.apk.
Edit- I got mail'd working, just install THIS APK it's really sick!

I have not yet tested the Browser, Sniffer, Keyboard, or Canvas applications. Please do so at your own risk. I will attach the files.
All credit goes to Gojimi for porting these to the Viewsonic GTab and Boushh in the Galaxy Tab forums for making the email .apk. All I did was test them out.
Good Luck and please report back with any feedback on apps that work/workarounds to get them working.

I'm getting a similar issue when trying to use a non-Gmail account. I'll see if I can sync any other accounts and see what happens.
it seems like when i try to use the back button via softkeys, the mail app crashes. anyone else have this problem?

I use Button Savior and though it doesn't crash, the back button is unresponsive.
UPDATE: I was able to install Quick Office HD. You must uninstall Quick Office (Barnes & Noble Version) via Titanium Backup then go ahead and install the Notion Ink Quick Office HD and you should be good to go. It works very nice too, optimized for tablets like the Mail'd app.
Great work! Dowloading now and will try to install after church. Thanks a bunch man.
Mail app works great, thanks! Browser gives a parsing error even after renaming.

Installed quickoffice and mail'd.
Only issue I see so far is you lose the status bar so you lose the menu button, and button savior does not work.
Oh, that and Notion appears to think you spell syncing like this..."synching".
sadly it looks like mail'd is based off the k9 framework and uses webdav instead of ActiveSync for exchange. This means no push email for anything other than IMAP idle. Too bad. I was excited for a second there...

Getting Google "CLOUD" Music Sync working on the Fascinate (Froyo, not tested on 2.1)
Figured out how to get google music sync working on the fascinate and decided to share it with everyone!
Tested and working on DarkREVENGE v1 (and I assume v2) and Super Clean 2.8 however I suspect this will work on many roms and devices! doubt this will work on any 2.1 devices seeing as the APK is 2.2+ sorry for those of you running 2.1..
Now tested on MiUi Fascinate 1.2.25 and confirmed working!!
IMPORTANT: Your music must be set up like this sd/media/music if it is not located there it will not be uploaded to the cloud!
Known issue(s) You cannot manage your "cloud" just yet there is no web interface yet and i'm assuming this is still in the "testing" phase.
Now lets get to the fun!
Install this apk (adb push or install as a normal APK) make sure that Music.apk is deleted already if not go ahead and do that right now.

You should see "Music & "Jumpertest" after installing.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
go to account settings and to your google account you should now see "Sync Music" PRESS IT! and let it sync.
When that is done go into your app drawer and open up "Jumpertest" click on the "Controls" tab
Don't forget to click the "Accounts" tab and check off your gmail account it should ask for permissions (you will see an upside-down triangle with a !) in the status bar.
Next click on "Start Peer" it should work IF you do get an FC try reinstalling the apk or maybe rebooting IF you get a "authtoken error" go back into account settings and click on "Sync Music" again and try again!
(if all went well you should see "Peer started")
Next go ahead and click on "Import Local Media"
(once again if all went well you should see "Import complete")
Now that is all setup and time to access your music on the "CLOUD"
Go ahead and open up the Music app
Press the "Menu" softkey on your Fascinate to bring up the menu popup and select "Library Options" and after that select "Streaming Only"
(If you are not a complete newb or illiterate) you should now see your music that is on the cloud! Yay for clouds
If it did not work this means you are likely incapable of following directions that a five year old probably could and you should not have a rooted device!
However if it does not work and you are 9000% sure you did everything correct please list what rom you are on and method of installing the apk.
Hope you all enjoy and give me thanks if you found this helpful
If you can't take the harsh sarcasm (not really) in this post then please get off XDA and do not attack me on this thread.. do you guys not have anything better to do? if you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all! Thanks.

Was pretty fast for me and the perks are being able to access your music from the cloud and bigger storage space than an SD card if you don't mind moving your music collection in "waves" to your SD card as I said this is not final but it's working and working well until we get something more "official"

Hey "bro" why don't you lay off your high horse. DiGi is learning and progressing, not seeing anything come from you, but yet you want to sit here and say he has an attitude??
1. If you felt the need to look at this post (not being a mod) then this interest you, so shut it and if you dont like it, then move along.
2. IRC is a place for chat and learning hint the abbreviation "Internet Relay Chat". It doesn't say "yes were going to be nice to you and hold you hand", once again get off your high horse.
3. Quit being a **** on the forums, yeah you're cool. How about this, quit dishing hate on others work, unless you take time out to work on something your self, and then have tons of questions asked to you, and see how frustrating it becomes. I highly doubt he was being a "****" or "juvenile" about anything, it's just the way you seemed to take it.
At this time, there is not a way to get it from your desktop to the cloud. Seeing as how you are not even supposed to do this yet..... that feature has not been implemented lol
BTW, anyone calling digi bad names is a complete douche, I <3 digi, he has never acted like an ass or anything that I have EVER seen..

You would have to plug your phone into your PC, transfer the music to the proper folder you have setup for this app and then synch. All music in that folder will be uploaded to Google's servers so you can access it at anytime from the APP.

SwiftKey is pretty amazing at word prediction. I barely typed to send this message.
I kinda like it, but the backspacing irritates me that it wont go faster by holding. I understand the swiping back thing to do a word at a time, but that's annoying. Maybe I'm missing something in the settings...
I still prefer the GB keyboard or Swype when driving.

Curse you Amazon!!
Interesting... do you have an Amazon account? I just logged in with my Amazon account and it worked fine. Try signing up on amazon.com first and then try logging in. Maybe Amazon requires a credit card... not sure.
I'm starting to not like the Amazon Appstore. And I'll tell you why.
1st to use apps downloaded from them, it seems you must have a data connection (Angry Birds Rio confirmed, others suspected). ABR drains battery at 2 to 3 times of other AB games, and part of that I think is the connection polling continuously.
2nd I can't seem to remove apps from my download list after I uninstall them, and apps I happen to replace with their Market versions cause Appstore to continuously inform me that they need an update.
3rd Can't shut off update notifications.
I've emailed Amazon, and was told it was forwarded to the Appstore Dev team, but who knows if any of it will actually be addressed
Oh, and SwiftKey won't work for me for some reason, I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

Yeah you MUST have a credit card added on your account to download any app... even free ones.
That's a big down for Amazon.
Teens have android too and most teens don't use credit cards.

And seeing the bugs and things done by Amazon on tthe post above mine... I don't think I'd use it too often I just wanted to try out Rio

That's some interesting observations. May be it's just ABR instead of all other apps but I will try to find out.
I think the download list is also your purchase history. That's why you can't remove them. Amazon should have them as 2 separate lists though.

You NEED a credit card to register for an Amazon account. It has nothing to do with the app being free or not.

Your still forgetting its still fairly new. If teens don't have credit cards what's the point of having amazing remove that restriction?
Another thing I don't think the free app a day won't last long. Maximum would be a month.

I was just speaking from living in an area full of 20 something year old girls who text while driving their Escalades.
I'm also curious how long the fee-app-a-day thing goes on.
So you guys think amazon app is a battery drainer huh...well so far I've downloaded swiftkey and that's all, pretty cool looking keyboard, and I must say that it does predict words better than any other keyboard I've ever used.
Well, if it DOES battery drain it's going to be a deal breaker for me...
OP thanks for the info.

I think it might still go on, right now their giving out brand-new-good apps like rio, and swiftkey... right?Their just starting out so they want to attract more users, which its working.
Then it'll go to random apps that no one likes, and people will probably just leave the amazon app on their phone waiting for another free app.
If they did remove the credit-card thing even for free apps, maybe people would still use it, like me.
Does anyone know of any themes or skins for swiftkey? An all black one would be nice.
I also find it a little too tall for my tastes. In 200 dpi, however, it's the perfect height. I have been unable to quickly type on the gingerbread keyboard ports because they are far too short in 200 dpi. I love Swype, don't get me wrong, but I still find myself wanting to type most of the time.

Blacked out Swype and the WP7 skinned-version of the gingerbread keyboard are the best looking and most functional. Wishing I could combine them somehow.

Blacked out Swype and the WP7 skinned-version of the gingerbread keyboard are the best looking and most functional. Wishing I could combine them somehow.

It seems that because of an Apple lawsuit, all links (YouTube, Play Store, etc) open in the web browser instead of their respective apps. It no longer gives an option to choose like it did in gingerbread. This drove me nuts and I searched around the internet for a fix. I hope this helps someone with the same problem.
1) Delete HtcLinkifyDispatcher.apk using System Tuner or Root Explorer (apk located in /system/app). Note: Freezing the apk won't work, it needs to be removed.
2) Reboot phone
3) Clear defaults for browser in Settings/Apps

So THAT is why.. I always wondered if I could safely remove that APK from my old rom, now I wish I had. Like apple owns the RIGHTS to apps getting utilized.. I'll probably figure it out later, but this doesn't actually break the app association function in system settings right?
Mainly this post is a bump for your thread, this is good to know, and I think this apk is still being included in all the roms..
You can also remove the app using titanium backup.
Thanks

Why not just use app associations in the settings menu?
I stand corrected... MrMako posted THIS LINK and when I clicked it, it gave me option for play store app

The app associations in the settings is incomplete. Try opening a YouTube link on your phone without this tweak and it will force it open in the browser instead of giving it an option to open it in the YouTube app.
The reason HTC added the app associations in the settings menu is to get around an Apple patent that is being enforced by the ITC (thus the delay in customs for HTC ONE X at the US customs). Apple owns a patent which allows intelligent app associations by knowing which app to open by reading the link. HTC lost that in the courts so we get a workaround that is not as good as the old option.
This is not a big deal for most people but I hate the YouTube mobile site and would rather want my YouTube links to open in the app.

Mine still opens in the browser, even after clearing caches, to be honest, I think the app htclinkify or whatever the name is happens to be the app that links contacts, but I may be wrong.
Well guess I'm the only unlucky one, lol.

Worked for me!
You sir, are a flippin' genius! Also, Apple are a bunch of asshats, but that's nothing new.
Just curious, those who have completed this mod, can you click on a phone number or email (check both please) and the phone bring up either the dialer or new email to compose? I tested it and these stopped functioning as the links call the app that is renamed/deleted.
Thanks!!

Clicking phone number does bring up a dialer for me and clicking an email link brings up an option to choose.
Try clearing the defaults for Mail/Gmail and dialer and that might solve your problem.

I'd have to test it, but I don't use gtalk.. but since gtalk is a purely google app, I doubt it would have problems from deleting a HTC specific file. I would go ahead and stop the app, delete the files in system settings, or if that doesn't work uninstall and reinstall the app..
As I said, there is no reason that gtalk should have problems after this..
I just tried this and none of the links open now. When I try for example to open a link from Reddit News, nothing happens. It doesn't open it with youtube app or the browser. Nothing happens at all
EDIT: Seems like freezing the app with titanium backup doesn't work. I uninstalled it and it works fine now
Thanks OP

I found the same to be true about freezing the app.
From what I have experienced, this occurs with the stock browser. I installed Dolphi Browser and I am able to open maps with the maps/navigation app, as well as click numbers and it opens in the phone app. Maybe something to consider.
Sort of easy fix is to install the google chrome beta and make that default. When i click on links on that browser (or even facebook) it asks again. Thank GOD!!!
Question. I don't really mind the fact that the linkify dispatcher exists, and the benefits of removing it don't outweigh the drawbacks for me. But I am darn tired of seeing it showing up in my multitasking menu. Looks unprofessional and tacky.
So, my question is: how can I hide HTCLinkifyDispatcher from the multitasking menu without actually removing it?

I've yet to see a benefit to keeping it, so I don't know why you'd want to keep it. Remove it, then it is a non issue.

UPDATE Aug 13: The app has been removed from the playstore AGAIN
UPDATE JULY 31st: The app has been restore in the playstore, it seems as if the dev was not lying and has kept its promise
Well, the app has been taken down. I contacted the gev through email, facebook and G+ and he never answered. Samething happened to a few members so i have taken my issue with the boss (Google) and they were extremely fast to refund me. Literally 10 seconds after I clicked submit issue, they sent an email confirming me my complaint was accepted and the refund has been made. GREAT!!!
I would not request a refund for an app taken down unless i had issue with it, which i did, so because the dev never answered, here is how to do it for yourself if you feel you've been abandoned.
Log into your google account https://play.google.com/store/account and go to "My Orders and Settings"
Look for SmartRemote and hit "Report a problem", then select "I'd like to request a refund" and give them a brief explenation. Also, if the app serves you, please don't do this, do this only if you're having issues that the dev obviously wont repair because he has, as far as i know, abandonned us.

i'm not sure why, it's really hard to know when the devs cut all communication and doesn't tell anything to anyone. In any case, the apps works fine, just struggles with my specific devices and the dev promised it would be updated to work for my TV and AV but they never did and they stopped emails about 2 weeks ago. So got this refunded and bought TouchSquid which so far works just like i want it too, also it's much more sophisticated and for a limited time it's 12$
What a letdown. It was such a great app!

Does anyone have an apk for it or backup of it on tibu?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
i had issues with this app on my s4. after selecting an action, lets say the volume up button, the app would continually trigger the IR, even if i wasnt pressing the volume up button anymore. this was obviously very annoying and required a phone reboot to clear everything up. this happened every time i used the app. the IR would continue flashing after the first button tap.
i've been using samsungs watchON. it took 15 seconds to set up my tv and uverse box and the remote works flawlessly. also, its free. much better remote functionality and layout.
This app pretty much sucks on my S4. A lot of the buttons are useless and when I try to use the center button that is usually associated for "enter" or "ok", it never works ever.
Requested a refund but it said they were unable to give me a refund. Another let down. Bah!

You wont find it here...even though it is now down, it was a paid app and thus uploading would be considered piracy/warez which is against forum rules

had this issue at first, then my real issue, which is still present today is that when i open the app, my blue notification light keeps flashing and drains battery, i have to reboot to fix it.
Also, not sure if im the only one, but the down arrow never works well.

i know what watchon is, its a gimicky, simple app. I want sophistication, macros, shortcuts to the keys i need.
That's strange. The app has always worked great for me. I will continue to use this for the life my S4.

Really I think it might be because it's stupid powerful. I can walk into any store control/cable TV's walk into a bar etc just total havoc. And it don't just work on TVs. Also those that have issues with it still issuing IR commands when it's not on. Disable. Air gestures and the Dynamic Option it will not do that anymore. :good:

Doesnt make sense really as touchsquid allows all the same functions. I mean the watchon app bare minimum allows you to mess with just about most tv's in bars and stores.
