Hi there, long time lurker first time flasher (oo-er)
I put the ICS rom on my phone by xball and loved it (still to remove bloat etc and will probably wait untill both cameras are fixed before keeping it) however....
One thing that doesnt seem mentioned in the topic or anywhere else on google i can find is in ICS when using messaging i have an inbox, outbox and spam tab. There doesnt seem to be any way to switch it to conversation mode (that i can see) the same way it worked in GB. Have i missed something with this rom?
A second question, not as important but ill bolt it on. I backed up all my texts using SMS backup and restore, yet when i restore them in ics, they don't appear. some research suggests its to do with the way that ICS now handles a "database" of sms records is there any easy way of restoring them from the SMSBaR xml file?
Cheers
Mozzy.

Hi Guys, I have installed the Floyo Rom and have everything setup fine. I was using ChocolateEclair 2.0 before and it worked.
In all my text messages I have my friends Facebook pics but not mine. This was working in ChocolateEclair 2.0. Even WhatApps had their Facebook pics. But this is not working with Floyo. I like Floyo as it is the fastest one I have tried (so far). But it is annoying that I can't see my picture in the Text Messages section. Does someone know why. I have searched and searched for an answer but couldn't find an answer.
Oh and is there an app that can restore all my apps from the market after a complete wipe. I would like to try other ROMs but just installing all the apps I use is a pain. Especially if you have 15 apps to restore. I would like to try a few out for a few weeks before I settle with one. But to restore 15-20 apps every time is a pain.
Just a guess, but Choclate eclair had facebook for sense installed. And you had the sense contact list. There was a defined "me" contact. In floyo you havnt defined it . In floyo I dont think there is such an option. (im having a look and if i find anything ill post it here)
Hi nijnvy, yes you are right. I do remember seeing a Me contact at the top of all my contacts. Do you think adding a Me contact would work?
EDIT:
That didn't work
For the life of me I cannot figure out why this is happening. I have rerooted and re-odin'd froyo countless times and always have the same problem. After a while my texts stop sending, I will go to send a text and it shows a timestamp and says 'sent' then I'll exit messaging and won't receive a response from whoever I'm texting. I open up messaging again and I see the timestamp change to whatever the current time is and says sent, I've noticed if I put the phone down and watch that the sent timestamp changes with the time. The messages never send though, as no one receives them and also it is only with text messages because MMS works fine. Example: I'll send a text at 2:05 pm, I'll look at my phone again in 10 minutes and the text will say 'sent 2:15 pm'. This only happens after a certain amount of time has passed from a new flash, a day, a few days, even have gone a week or so before it starts happening. A data complete data/cache wipe will fix it temporarily, then I have to wipe and start over... Maybe I've been doing something wrong or have been flashing corrupted files?
I've never run into this, but since you say mms works I'd try an alternate mms.apk or try an alternate app such as handcent.
if you want to remain using a stock SMS app look at my previous posts for an alternate mms.apk and instructions on how to replace it over your existing mms.apk from your system/app directory.
if you decide to try handcent and it works whereas your stock SMS app fails, then signs point to the mms.apk.
I'll give it a try, although it seems no matter what sms app I use or no matter what rom I'm using the sms function breaks after a certain amount of time forcing me to do a complete wipe and reinstall/reflash.
so then you are saying you have tried other SMS apps like handcent?
Yes and always the sms breaks after some time :/ idk why but the only fix I have found is a clean wipe.
tapatalked from my KangBanged Fascinate
I want to revive this thread, because the EXACT same thing is happening to me!
Currently running EH03 radio, KGB_FA16 kernel, and Super Clean 3 Milestone 2 on my Fascinate.
The Problem seems to have started on March 28th, and at the time I was still running SC3 Milestone 1. It took me until yesterday to realize that none of my text messages were received by anyone I sent them to since March 28th. Same symptoms; messages appeared to have been sent, time stamp that changes, etc.
Last night I tried a few things to fix the issue:
- Disabled Voodoo and System Lagfixes via CWM
- Wiped Davlik Cache
- Flashed SuperClean 3 Milestone 2
- Updated roaming capability (*228, option 2)
- Just installed GoSMS
In GoSMS, all of the outgoing messages since March 28th have flashing green arrows next to them... What does that mean?
If someone could point me towards the android native mms.apk, I can try re-installing it.
I am running out of ideas... I am going to Odin the EC09 radio tonight and see if that fixes it. Otherwise, the only other option I can think of is to do a full wipe and start over from scratch...
Any thoughts??
Bump.... Thoughts anyone? Beuler?
Should I just bag my whole current config and just try a different ROM!?
Looking into CM7...
I have searched all the forums, all the sites i could possible look into, but i couldnt find one thing.
Yesterday i rooted my phone, instaled JellyBam custom rom, which is awesome etc. But one thing keeps buging me. Before this, i used simple stock rom, and used stock app to send sms. There was like a whole tab of simple android heads smileys, where i could have spammed them and click like letters. And now what, all i can do is to acces through menu and click and insert only one smiley. if i want to add more i have to repeat the same actions again and again, its quite annoying. Is there a way to make a button which would show whole smileys layout?
P.S. I'd like to use Emojis but most of people im texting doest have it, so they see just squares.
Also, when i make a call or take a call, and talk, i can hear my own voice through speakers where i should hear only callers voice, this never happened with Stock rom and kernel. Any thoughts?
It's been a week now and I still can't send any text messages.
I receive msgs but unable to respond back...
I thought it was because I finally updated to Jellybean (I've had ICS for awhile so I thought I should just stick to that) but then I downgraded last night to ICS and I still can't send messages.
well today I tried fixing it but still no luck, although I tried sending an MMS instead, I sent myself a picture and it worked! even tried it to other numbers and they received it. I also tried adding a text with the picture and it did work. but it's still not working when I just type in a text...
so anyway in short, I can't send SMS but can send MMS (and receive messages as well)
also extra: I can call people but whenever they call me it comes up as unknown number...
Does anyone of you know what might be the problem? How can I fix it? Thanks
EDIT: and btw I already checked the message centre number and it has the right number in it so I don't think the issues w/ that
I suggest using titanium backup to store user apps and data, then using mr.cook's rom wipe script to allow you to start from a blank slate, then re-install the desired firmware (whatever version)
You could work at fixing this issue individually, but (to me) it's a sign that something more fundamental went wrong, and that other issues may be soon to follow.
It isn't clear whether you upgraded to a stock jellybean, or maybe a 4.1.2 custom jellybean, or maybe a 4.2.2 custom jellybean, or a 4.3 jellybean. The latter, a 4.3 upgrade from ICS has the highest potential for weird issues if a thorough rom-wipe isn't conducted... whichever path was taken, The i777 runs all versions of jellybean well, and something like this suggests that the "upgrade" was not conducted from a clean slate, hence the suggestion for a rom-wipe and re-install.

can't text
Are you unable to text because a keyboard won't open? My daughter couldn't text (never figured out why - she always had a keyboard appear) so she got a replacement, and when I inherited her phone because mine has battery issues, I go through periods when I can't text because no keyboard appears. I have to into settings and play around with assigning a default keyboard before it will finally appear. Doesn't matter if I'm using the stock keyboard or one I've downloaded from a VERY reliable source - I still have to reassign and reassign and reassign to make it work. Powering off the phone doesn't do a thing.
I currently have a rooted S4 on kitkat and purchased a LG G4 from T-Mobile. I'm sure this is an easy thing and I've not been able to backup and restore all of my MMS / SMS from the old phone.
1. I have 85,000 msgs. Yes, I want them all.
2. Yes I want my MMS AND SMS. Yes. All of them.
3. Yes. I want the Emojis too. Though not as important
I've tried SMS backup / restore and it takes over 48 hours. First time it crashed. Then reset phone to factory defaults and did it again as it takes too long to delete all of the messages again. After the factory reset, I did it again and it said it only restored 75,000 out of the 75,000. This doesn't make sense because when I do the backup on the S$ it's over 86k, and when I started the process it said it was over 86,000. Yet it said it did them all.
That seemed to work okay. MMS and all. However, on a couple dozen threads it came in on TODAY's date. I read online you just need to open them with stock app, open the thread, and it works. No dice. All but the last few said they came in today. No clue why. Strange thing is that it was only the last 4-5 that were today's date. Rest were okay.
So here is what I am offering a bounty for. I can't believe it takes me about 10-15 mins to extract all of my messages and over 48 hours to shove them back in. That sounds crazy to me. Especially since this G4 has a ton of ram and processing power. I would like to do it WITHOUT root, but if I need to ROOT I guess I can do that too. It's been over a week and I still can't use my new phone because I can't get these messages into it.
I have been all over google and haven't found any good answers. Top rated answer that works will receive the bounty. It's a way you guys can help me (In case I missed something on another forum) and I can help you by throwing some money your way. I've found threads but some were old and I can't imagine this 48 hour method is the best way.
NO I DON'T WANT THEM ON GOOGLE HANGOUTS
P.S. I'll throw an extra $25 bucks to the person who helps me merge my SMS backup+ that sent it to my gmail account and this XML method. Back then it would backup my MMS too but not restore them. I would like all of the SMS and MMS from my gmail somehow thrown back into one giant file? Is this even possible? It's been years and it says this feature isn't available yet. (SMS BACKUP+)
Bumped it up to $100 and posted here:
