First, if task reads this, thanks for the great ROM. I would thank you in the dev thread, but I do not have enough posts yet to post there. Maybe by the end of this thread.....
I have been using handcent for texting because I have friends who constantly use group messaging from iPhones and the stock MMS app was a mess to use in that scenario.
I got frustrated with handcent (it is really slow to load, and overall not the same kind of smoothness I enjoy from the rest of the ROM). I looked at the stock MMS app yesterday and noticed that it has group threading!
There seem to be some UI issues though, and I am interested in trying to work on it.
So after all that, my question is where should I look for this particular MMS app? Are these changes part of AOSP, CM, or AOKP? Task's version in particular?
Thanks for your time everyone.

That's the 4.2 app you will have to wait
Sent from my GS4 running CM11 Kandy Kane
Meaning it is part of 4.2 Android AOSP? Or was this modified by AOKP or someone else?
So where can I go to find out more about how the path works from Google's code to where task releases his version for our device?
I think he's wanting tasks version of the mms? If I'm wrong correct me but couldn't he simply pull the mms.apk from his files on his phone and take a look at them to get the info he's looking for?

So I take this to mean that it is part of the os. Not something added in somewhere else along the chain that comes to our devices.

Weren't you referencing the stock messaging app that came with tasks Rom, that's the messaging app you're wanting to try to smooth out right?

I was using handcent, but now I am using the stock app the comes with Task's AOKP rom
Maybe my question was not clear (sorry, I am not meaning to sound like a ****, but thats a hard sentence to type without jerk inflection)
The group mms threading option that now exsists in the AOKP rom from Task, who added it in?
Did the AOSP and Google people put that option in there? Meaning is this going to be part of the Google Stock version of android 4.2?
Did the AOKP team add it, meaning that we will continue to see that option in any AOKP roms?
Did Task add it, is he a wizard?
I partly want to know because I am interested in taking a look at the code to see if I can squash some bugs I have found. Thus, I would like to know where the original point of entry is for this change.
If I can get beyond this being a exercise for myself, I would like to know where I should contribute any changes I make.
Alternatively, if someone can suggest where I can find more info on how the chain is put together that gets the code from Google all the way through task to my phone, that would also be helpful.
Thanks for all the replies so far.

First, let me say by no means should I be trying any of this, because I don't really know much about how to modify software on Android devices. I've seen the .apk from AOSP taken and used on the Thunderbolt to replace the stock HTC text messaging app. Is there any way possible to take the .apk from some Motorola version of Android to swap in the Motorola text messaging app? That was by far the best looking messaging app in my opinion. I've tried simple .apk swaps and that doesn't do it. I'm just trying to figure out if its even possible or is it to entangled in the Blur b/s for me to even ask for help?

Not unless you have the software for it. Called backsmali or somethin like that. You could try posting on a dev page and ask for it

Got it up and working on my phone. I'm running Shostack2 3.1.1
Many similar threads on XDA , NOT COOL !1!
I can see multiple similar threads on half-baked Google now from JB which is still quite buggy... atleast one in all smartphone's theme section ...
You should mention whats working and whats not before directing someone to this link ... is not very usable as of now.

Exactly, I've had this for a day or so, and voice search isn't working. But they're aware of that issue, and attempting to fix it. OP should mention that voice doesn't work.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
Voice-to-text will not work without kernel support or a hack forcing the app to use the existing Google Speech-to-text implementation. Either direction will take an obscene amount of time, i'd imagine. Don't wait up...
Why is this sinking down the app list?! People need to see this!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
After using for several days, one issue I've noticed (besides voice search not working), is that the "cards" do not automagically "appear" on my phone. Rather, to view any card, I have to manually open the app. Once there I see a relevant card, such as the weather, or the length of my commute to work when the phone figures it's time for me to go to work. But my understanding is that Google Now, working properly, is supposed to make these cards "pop up" on your phone, rather than you having to manually open the app.
tks,trying...

Yes. Search for mikeyxda07. I believe that's the file. One of the xda devs (mike) has one up and running. Also, I think Shostock has it in his ROM. Why not just switch to JB and install it with one of the various Aroma gapps installers? Works well.

I just put this ROM on my phone and it works Great except the built in messaging app. If someone sends me a MMS that has a picture,the picture is over the text and there is no way to read the text.
I have worked with the setting in the mms app but i am at a loss.
Thanks so much for this great OS you rock!!

If i must use another have you any suggestions?

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.
Thread closed.
PS If you want to a 3rd party messaging app. I would suggest Handcent and to avoid Go sms

Is there any way to replace the stock Sense Phone app (phone.apk?) with a AOSP/Nexus Phone app? I searched on Google and on this forum and I've had no luck finding any information on that for the HTC One X+. Any type of information regarding this is greatly appreciated!
P.S. I am using an AT&T version of the HOX+ and I'm aware that there are developers working on a CM Rom for it (which should have similar phone and dialer apps to what I'm asking for) but since it could take some time until a stable build is released, I'd love to be able to have the (as far as I'm concerned) improved phone calling experience ahead.
Well, you can replace the messaging app to the aosp one and it works fine. Maybe get a copy of the aosp phone apk and see if it works.

Well, first off, where could I get a copy of said apk's? And secondly, the little info I did manage to find implied that in the case of the phone.apk, if it's straight up replaced, it will not work properly. Apparently there should be a procedure to be used for the process to work, but so far I've found no info on this...

No, you can't. I looked into it as well.
There's a couple aosp apps that just don't work right on sense, the dialer and people app are one of them. Sense doesn't play nicely with them, and from what I understand you can't really do anything without being a dev.
To answer your question though, you can get the .apk's from other device ROM's. If you wanted the aosp dialer, download an aosp ROM for the nexus 4 and extract Phone.apk from /system/app/

I guess I'll try that, thanks... If anyone else has any ideas feel free to share!
I have found most music apps stop responding after first song load on boot in JB based ROMs. Rockbox widget does not have this problem and is what I am using. It is in early development for Android and is not available in the play store yet.
For me the app freezes after clicking play. Then I close the app and remove from task manager then open the app and it works from then on

I'm confused, is this a question or an advertisement? If it's a question, there's a fix. If it's an advertisement, ugh.
Common problem for jellybean roms. To fix you need to edit your build prop. Change the lines "lpa.decode=true" and "lpa.use-stagefright=true". change them both so they are "lpa.decode=false" and "lpa.use-stagefright=false". Reboot. then problem should be fixed.
I would kindly accept direction to the fix. I have done searches and most results site bluetooth issues which I don't have. Not meant to be an advertisement as they are simply open source developers working on a project for porting to multiple platforms - namely mp3 players - as they have done for many years. I understand some young chaps may not have heard of these devices as they grew up with Androids.

Couldn't give you a technical reason why it works honestly. A buddy of mine explained it to me quite some time ago, but I do not remember what he said. I think it was something along the lines of making android code audio through software instead of hardware. And as to why it isn't implemented in ALL jellybean ROMS and nightlies, I have absolutely no idea. This fix may not be known to everyone, but its been available for a while & I would think most devs know about it by now and would implement it in their ROMS. I just make it a habit to do that first when I flash a jellybean ROM. :good:
So its not just me, my sd card, or my phone?? I'll try the fix out. A real pain this is when you flash roms daily and have to go through the initial freeze, close and reopen :/
