Make sure it's in fact a jpg. No png, etc.. Only jpg.
Sometimes the app can be screwy, especially the premium version. I never had issues posting with the free one though.
If you still can't get it, try an external source like photobucket, or something similar..

Screenshot from Home+Power will result in a PNG file. You will need some kind of utility to convert from PNG to JPG to post.
thanks guys. do you know of any converter from the android market? or will i be best just posting screenshots from my laptop?

Hi XDA:
I still have the Avatar movie on external sd card, pushed the avatar.apk file to /system/apps, and made sure the proper movie sub directory was copied from an old back up to my internal sd card under the sd card directory. Still getting ' file not found' when click Avatar icon. I can watch the movie using the video player and I'm sure this is something small that I've forgotten, and I researched other threads regarding this issue but cannot find an answer. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. I'm currently running Nero v3. Cheers.

Same issue. I was never able to figure it out so I just use the video player to launch it.

If anyone can shed some light on this it would really be appreciated. I am selling one of my Vibrants as I've just purchased a Nexus S and I'm trying to get this working for them before I ship it. Thanks again

This has to do with the different ways 2.1 and 2.2 name the external sd card - 2.1 calls it "sd" or "sdcard" (can't remember...been a while since 2.1), while 2.2 calls it "external_sd." So, you need the Avatar apk that has the correct name in the movie filepath.
The attached apk's should solve your problem. If you are running a 2.2 rom, then use the one I attached named "Avatar_22." Push it to your system/app just like you were doing before.
Disclaimer: I did not make the 2.2 compatible Avatar shortcut. I had this same issue and found it somewhere on this site, but figured I'd just share the apk instead of trying to search out the original source. If this makes someone mad, let me know and I'll give the proper credit or remove it - whichever you prefer.
Awesome.. Exactly what I needed and I'll give it a whirl once I arrive home from work. Thanks.

Thank you. That fixed my issue too.

My problem at this stage is, all the threads say to use photo shop. Well I can't afford those prices. And I refuse to use pirated software! So to the question. Is Gimp compatible or is there something else available that some of you prefer? I wanna know can I get the same results with Gimp or another product?
Thanks for your time.

GIMP is a great alt!

get APK Manager and Notepad++ to edit xml files
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/29/samsungs-chaton-messaging-service-brings-free-texting-to-androi/
So there is this awesome chatting application that will be / already is cross-platform. But it isn't compatible with our Atrix's.
Any one know why? Just the screen res? Any chance of hacking an APK file to make it work?
I downloaded an apk because it said it wasn't available in my country and it works perfectly fine. kinda confused as to why it would say incompatible in the first place.
I'm running it on my atrix and it works really well.
How is this different/better than something like Kik that is also cross platform?

Well i never realized that the Atrix 4G was really made by Samsung, not by Motorola, until I read this thread and that link.
Admins, remove thread from Atrix 4G and place in correct device thread.

So, trying to upload a picture to the forums via the mobile app. When the phone has no SD card or youre set to store pics on the phone it saves as PNG or something like that which wouldn't allow for upload. I had to change in esFile to JPEG. But, now that I have a SD card and am saving to it, ALL my pics have converted and continue to be saved as JPEG. Now uploads are no big deal.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Interesting. Kind of ironic since PNG files will be bigger than JPG.
While it may be useless for upload to XDA, PNG is a better format than JPG. Both use compression but PNG is lossless, JPG is lossy even on its lowest compression setting.
That is what i posted as a problem as well. But you fpund a solution. So wherr do i force the pics to the sd card. Problem here is i have always had an sd card installed.

In the camera settings i believe. Funny thing is though is that the pics i have on the internal memory also are JPEG now. That i dont know how it happened. But regardless it makes posting here that much easier and that's all that matters.... now if i coukd just figure out why those pics have to get "resized " when i send them as MMS....

tried what you did and still cant post a screen shot...its kind of annoying really. I actually was a able to before but all of a sudden i get the file extension error now!?
If using Tapatalk, just click "Tapatalk hosted". The pic will look much better anyway. Haven't used XDA app in a while, but I assume its the same, no?

I ask a question on your site several weeks ago about the default messaging app on Samsung Galaxy s2 aokp jelly bean. It seems that if someone sends me a picture with text the picture covers to text and I can't read it. I asked if there was any way to correct it and below is the answer I got. I am sorry to disagree with whoever posted this however that is not a simple fix. I have Google and look for how to decompile a app and I am unable to find a app to edit a apk file. I am NOT asking for a step by step but surely someone can recommend an app I can download that would allow me to open the MMS app and edit it. Once again this is not a simple fix perhaps it is for you but it is not for me thank you for your time
This is a simple issue that the user can fix. Just have to decompile the apk and adjust the spacing. A search would have saved you opening a new thread.

If you search xda or google you will find plenty of tools that will do that for you.
I really do appreciate all the hard work that xda developers do. I do not like posting on here because I know your time is important but I also don't want to feel belittled. Have searched your site perhaps I'm poor at searching. Is there an app you would suggest that I could download to my phone or Android tablet to edit apk file. Thanks so much

Apktool, the app by virtuous team, and i think apk manager

Thanks so much however after posting this I updated to the newest aokp and the issue is resolved. It does still have the sender's name overlapping the date but not the picture overlapping the message. Thanks so much and I will still try the suggested APK editor.

Go check out the Android development guide by Google, you can get several tools to decompile an apk. As well as .dex file

I agree that response was pretty rude. I'm guessing they were trying to scare you away rather than giving advice on next steps. That if you don't know how to do what they said you'd leave it to those that do know how.
But on to your original question...
Wikipedia's location for APK format (can't post link as I'm too new) says that the file is just a ZIP file (or JAR file). So likely 7-zip or your favorite program that can open ZIP's/JAR's will work. You might have to rename the extension to .ZIP or .JAR for the program to recognize it.
Nobody was being rude. We told him to search and that there are plenty of resources already available to him. Nothing wrong with that. Good luck and happy flashing.
The post was mine and it was not rude in the least. The information for what you need to do is posted. Has been for a few years now. Ever since people started doing customs themes. You will not be able to do this without a computer. All you have to do is decompile the apk, find the XML that displays the mms message and adjust the spacing by a few pixels. And then recompile the apk. There are tut all over the place on how to do this
You may have to be creative in your searches to be lead where you need to go but that is part of the learning that android requires. Sometimes you need to think outside the box to get the outcome you desire.

This only works for 35% of the apk as the XML files are encrypted until decompiled as are the .9 pngs
