When I had CM9 Beta 1.0, there was a setting that allowed SMS longer than 160 characters to be broken into multiple messages. I can't find the feature in CM9 Beta 4.2... This is buggin' me, if anyone has any solutions, that would be cool.
Thanks in advance,
I think its automatic now. I started from .2.0 and I've never had an issue like others have with SMS not splitting or sending right without split. Before replying this I sent a 5 page text to my gf's phone with no split setting set and she received the entire message split and in order it was supposed to be received.

I've noticed this too, cause I used it in the past and it worked perfectly, when I had the setting checked, but now every time it goes over 160 it tries to send but just ends up failing 30 seconds or so later.
This has been fixed as of .4.4. However, if you are using the inverted apps mod to get blackandcyan themed apps, that mms.apk will not split messages. And since Hello has abandoned that project, unless someone themes the new mms.apk or an older version that has the option to split messages you are better off using go SMS with a nice ice theme. Sad stuff, I know.
Are you sure its been fixed? I'm using 4.4 now and it still won't send more than 160 without failing. And I can't find it in the settings

There has got to be something being done wrong somewhere.. I am running .4.4 and It still sends just fine. Never had an issue sense using cm9 from .2.0 there was an old apn trick for fixing mms issues awhile back that has sense been revised. The new method is completely different than what the original method was like and I think that might be causing issues as well. But I'm not sure. All I know is that mine works great and the only thing different I didn't outside of flashing cm9 was changing the apn settings
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
I'm not sure that .4.4 is what fixed it I just know that once I flashed from .4.2 it was suddenly working. Then after flashing the the inverted apps it was borked again. As far as the apn thing is concerned, I can tell you exactly what I did to retain split messaging (without using inverted apps). It might work for ya... Use the first apn fix method within the cm9 fixes thread. As the thread states, put the file in version 3.1. Wipe everything as per usual when doing a clean install, flash the now modded 3.1 zip. Boot into cm9, reboot to recovery, wipe dalv and cache, flash .4.4. Everything should be peachy.
Or go SMS or hand cent or any third party SMS app. They have always worked flawlessly on the cm9 builds. What may of happened when ur borked was flashing over the original stock apk with the modified one. The fix was most likely in the stock apk itself. Either way just like the camera you can't go wrong with a third party app

I edited the Evolution_Font install zip so that it doesn't remove the odex files. I just installed this using Clockwork and it's working fine for me. I recommend making a nandroid before doing this though just in case and as always if you brick your phone don't blame me.
The original font pack came from the Evolution theme, I don't take any credit for this and if whoever did create it wants it taken down I have no problem doing so.

edit: Added the Default font if you want to switch back.
I flashed it but now for some reason I cant load my downloads in the market, prob unrelated but other than that fonts work just fine.
Ok after a reboot it works just fine now, wonder what that was?
The font is a lot smaller than the stock, but I like it. Like it gives it a cleaner look or something.
after running quadrant with that loaded, I am convinced it did something else, the screen just looks more crisp.

itd entirely possible there is some sort of server maintenance or something... when i installed app brain a month ago there just happened to be server issues that night.. i assumed it was the new software.. logical right?
im running some backup/restore tests now... takes a while...
I couldn't get anything to authorize or download from market... used nandroid backup and worked fine after...

not completely related, but i figured since the OP knows of the themes the fonts originate from, would i be able to just install the Launcher pro that is themes in the bugless evolution rom? i basically want the widgets...
edit: so i decided to just make a nandroid and then see what happens.
worked just fine! the widgets and the font go nicely together!
Thanks now if we could get a flipfont apk port that would be great.
Love the font, but I too am getting a market error. Trying to install other apps and it FC's and then the apps are stuck "installing" can't cancel them out.
Flipped to wifi, same issue. Gonna shut it down, pop the battery and see if that does the trick.
EDIT: Yup, market still continues to crash even after a couple reboots and a battery pull. Why would this cause the install/market to crash?
which market apk are you using? the original one or the 2.2 version?
mine is working fine (i use the 2.2 market)
Using the updated version. As far as I recall.

no, i'm running it on the stock rom with root and voodoo
My setup Voodoo/oc'd kernel/aosp boot animations/deodexed Market 2.2 and have NO issues with this font whatsoever.
You did flash it through CWM correct?
I uninstalled the market update, went back in and downloaded the apps that were hung on install (as they were still showing "installing..." on the market page, even after a CWM restore) and it worked.
I can live without the new market until 2.2
Edit: the main purpose was in hopes of just sending clear mms pics. I hoped a higher limit would solve the issue. As it is, its just in the 3.0 mms and if you have thunderbolt on a custom rom and fin all your mms pics are fuzzy/not clear, then extract a sense 2.1 mms from a stock ota rom and install it in Place of your sense 3.0 mms. It has cleared up the pics on 2 tbolts running the same rom. There is still compression but the pictures are sending full screen now an look great. Hope this helps.
Wanting to bump it up to 2mb or 5mb from the 1.2mb its at now. My friends pics are looking bad sending thru mms. Any ideas? I ha e an Evo and at 5mb limit my pica send to him full screen and clean but no matter what he does his always come out jagged or fuzzy.
this pisses me off so bad i send a pic and the quality gets destroyed
Yeah, is there a fix for this? Any ideas or solutions? I was told ever since I supposedly went to a sense ROM, my pics have been distorted. Maybe that could be a start....

And they do not work on the tbolt. We couldn't get it to send pics. Replacing the mms.apk w a stock gingerbread sense 2.1 mms.apk fixed the problem. Even though it is still limited the pics are clear now.
Solved!
That's true, it doesn't work, but I suspect it's being "blocked" (by VZW). I tried 5m, 2m, and 1.2m and I'd get the message "Content not accepted". Looking that up, I find this:
Error-content-notaccepted
The MM content was not accepted due to size, media type, copyrights or some other reason.

When it says "not accepted", that sure sounds like a server is what rejected it, not the phone itself.
It is the mms.apk in the ROM. I pulled a 2.1 mms and it works correctly. Not the 3.0 mms.

I can understand if Max quality is necessary but the issue was due to the 3.0 mms on the rom that the myth and mad96 are on. Its a great rom but would always send fuzzy mms. Swapped a stock mms and prob is solved.
How do you swap in a stock mms 2.1 apk? Is it just like installing a zip from sdcard or is there more to it?

Just find a stock sense 2.1 rom and extract the system/app/mms.apk. then w a file explorer, copy your current mms.apk from your current rom to SD as a backup. Replace w the extracted apk. Set permissions and reboot. Should be nice and clean

Ok thats simple enough then. thanks. Which sense 2.1 rom did you use? Anyone should work right
Honestly its been 6 months since we did this so it would be hard to say But any sense 2.1 mms.apk should do. Make sure whether you are deodexed or odexed. Most rooms are depdexed but you will need to make sure first.
If unclear, w root explorer (my personal choice) go to system/app and just look to see if there is an odex below Any apk. If not, grab you the latest deodexed ota. Download it (on wifi or 4g of course ), do not install it! Justclick the zip in root explorer and navigate to the system/app/mms.apk and extract. Then replace w my steps mentioned. The reboot should drop it in and the pics should look nice and clean.
Just remember odexed/deodexed. Sense 2.1 only, if you are only on a 2.1 rom. MAY work on hybrids as long as they were on 2.1 mms previously but can't guarantee.
Hope it helps!

Sorry to bother you again. I moved the Sense 2.1 mms.apk to the location you told me, but now the messages app is gone. I tried to install the new apk manually, but it keeps failing. Also the permissions are the first 2 at top row, the first one on bottom 2 rows right?

You can't on the fascinate...the mezmerize folks can get it working by editing the build prob, but not us fascinate users from my understanding.
After running gummy for fassy, and aokp, I can't get mms/or SMS to work properly on aokp. On aokp, mms won't work at all, SMS works unless u add a ♪ or ♥, then it force closes. On gummy SMS is perfect , mms works receiving. Question is, I can send mms messages longer than 160 characters, but it refuses to send a picture. Anyone have a similar problem? Or know what options I have?

Unfortunately I was never able to get MMS to work on any of the ICS ROMS, even after starting from scratch several times, and trying the setDNS fix, etc. Not sure why, but my phone just doesn't like ICS yet...this makes me sad. I sure did love the way my phone worked on AOKP, no wifi issues at all. Oh well.

Give AOKP Build 22 Test a try...that fixed MMS for me.
I've been battling this issue for a while. What works for me is ....start mms...then choose FILE/PICS.....choose your pic from gallery..... if it doesn't send right away, I close mms, toggle AIRPLANE MODE , then reopen mms....seams to work for me. I also switched to CHOMP APP.

Yes lol I also use an iPod for music. This was before I got my fascinate. I used iPod a lot for music.

Thanx everyone for some helpful ideas. I'm goin crazy over here trying to get my mms to work. I've flashed soo many ROMs lately, I'm getting cross-eyed. The only way that my mms works is using THS 6.1, works flawlessly. If I flash gummy or build 22 I have no luck. I even copied the mms.apk from 6.1 and i still have no luck. Is it that the ICS builds just work different on different fascinates?
update: running build 22, and coping 6.1 mms.apk to /system/app folder, and setdns.....its now working
I flashed AOKP Build 25, and still can't get MMS to work. There must be something funky with my Fascinate, or I've done something funky in my flashes (most likely scenario). I've tried every workaround, and every way of flashing, and MMS never works. Oh well. ICS is really nice on this phone. Just wish I could get f&$!ing MMS to work! I'm going to try build 26, released today, and see how it goes.
miui ics 2.3.2
mms didnt work... used this setdns trick... mms works perfect
mms works perfectly on THS.. build 6.5
I am not receiving mms pictures for some reason. I used to receive them when I was on the stock ROM. I installed the leaked ICS for a week or so, then I couldn't retrieve my saved ROM so I had to put on a new stock rooted rom. Now I can't receive pics. I'm using Handcent. I turned on Autoretrieve and still no luck.
I read in one of the threads here about not receiving them over wifi, but I don't know how to make it so that it won't download till I hit the button. I have wifi at both work and home so I am on it a lot. This could be the problem but I don't know how to fix it so I can have my Wifi on AND be able to get the pics.
Thanks in advance,
Jev
A) did up do a full wipe coming from the previous rom--if not, right there is the first mistake. B) did u freeze the stock messaging application, since u say u use handcent? Freezing stock messaging app for me in the past has caused me not to receive mms.

Change you APN settings to the correct one. Do a search for the correct settings and that shall be your key to victory.
You might also try clearing cache under the applications section. I had this issue with AOKP and that helped mine to send and download.
I've been looking around on the dev forum for this and haven't found a solution yet. My MMS seems to be broken, but from what I can gather, other people have no problem with it. I've tried three clean installs and still haven't had any luck. On the last clean install, I even cleared out the ROM slot and made a new one (still ROM slot one). GoSMS can send my MMS and group messages, but I much prefer the stock app. What is so different about the way that MMS gets processed through GoSMS that it can handle MMS even when the regular MMS.apk is broken. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, did you find a solution to fix it?
