Hi ,
Today I will present you : No SMS / MMS convert
This is my first mod for android and was formed more as a personal need and because of stupid default settings which is present on android OS .
Maybe others may experience this problem when compose a SMS larger than 480 characters (3 sms) the message will be automatically converted to MMS which is annoying especially if you have unlimited SMS or the MMS will charge your bill useless .
To avoid this SMS conversion you can use third-party software like GO SMS Pro , Handcent SMS , chomp SMS and maybe others , personally I prefer the standard application .
Following instructions from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065452 I was able to recompile default SMS application and change the parameter which automatically convert SMS to MMS from 3 to 100 .
Installation steps :
(your phone must be rooted)
Download attached SecMms.zip
Extract SecMms.apk
Copy (overwrite) on your phone under /system/app/
Restart your phone
Enjoy ,
Let me know if you have any issues using this mod .
This was tested and works on ROM I8190XXAMA2 4.1.2

now I don't have to do it myself, thanks There is still enough work for me to do with this rom..
Is this actually an deoxed version of I8190XXAMA2 ? Because it has different file size than mine (mine is nearly 8.5 MB)
Hi,
No , this is not the deoxed version , is the stock rock , only SecMms.apk has been modified and replaced .
Thanks,

Dear Forum Members - This is my first post in XDA and so my apologies if I missed any protocols. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 International Version. Just like many of you, I got fed up with Touchwiz and flashed CM 10.2 using Cyanogenmod Instaaller. While the performance exceeded my expectations by a huge margin, I am facing one small problem with installation of Google Earth. Since Google Earth is not available in my country through Play Store yet, I usually download the apk and install it. I did the same after moving to CM 10.2 amd installed the old app from my backup, but realised there is an updated version of Google Earth V 7.1.3 available and downloaded the same from a popular tech site. The problem is after I uninstalled the old app, I am unable to install either the new version or the old version. I keep getting the Out of Space: Titanium Backup could not be installed error even though there is lot of space still available. When I faced similar trouble with Titanium Backup Pro earlier, I found online that by deleting /system/app for file Titanium....odex. file and it worked flawlessly. However, I cant find any such file for Google Earth. Can someone please help solve this issue? Thanks in advance

Hi,
A bug has been discovered in the Wiko smartphone, not only the Cink Five (clone of A116), but in all Wiko.
The bug:
When a Wiko received an sms with just:
Code:
=
The smartphone make a soft reboot and will not ask you pin number if you have, so there's a security issue with this bug.
It have been reported with original apk or similar, for me I'm using 8sms and also have the bug.
EvolveSMS and Go SMS have been reported without this bug
Can we have some reports to see if this bug is all Mediatek device with stock app for SMS, if you can write type of the phone and type of soc will be great.
Just talk to a friend with an A919I and there's the bug, report also on a MT6582

I just make a phone call to Wiko to have more info, and actualy it's an internal team of Wiko who working on this bug with the collaboration of Mediatek to solve the bug, and Wiko will publish a patch.
[size=+1]Edit 25/6/14:[/size]
An app have been published on the play store until we received a patch:
The application allows to avoid the bug "=".
It intercepts sms, remove it and indicate the number of the sender.
It should work with all Mediatek devices who have the bug and use original sms app.

This bug only happens with the default sms app.
As a workaround you can either change the sms app or you can use a sms blocking app.
I recommend blocking sms with AntiSpamSMS 2, using the regex: ^=$
Hi,
Yes the bug is only on stock as I've written and can be correct with other sms app.
Actualy I'm using Textra and it's free bug.
Wiko is working on a patch source on 1st post, but for the cink five (A116 clone) official version is still 4.1.2, Wiko haven't update to 4.2.1.

The MT6582, MT6589, MT6589T and also MT6572 i think are assigned.
Yes nearly all Mediatek have the bug as it seems to be in the smali of framework.jar and Mediatek provide code to the seller.
Guys, I think need to take contact with seller to ask for a patch, like Wiko will provide here in France.
I don't known if Mediatek will provide a patch to all their seller.
And may be need more report.

Hi.
Possible solutions:
-Change the version of the app. Uninstall and take an older but working version (a.k.a Downgrading )
-Just stay on the Messenger app...
is that the only way??
I advise you to downgrade first...

down grade messenger or android version?
Downgrade messenger of course. I don't think the device's rom have something to do with the dysfunction of the app...
