I'm running Beans B5 and am having issues with the AOSP SMS app. All of my SMS messages have a blank space underneath them. It seems like this space is being reserved for a signature, as when I go into the MMS theme settings and change the signature the signature appears in this blank space. I have tried restarting my phone, changing the signature and then changing it back to nothing and yet the problem persists.
Is there another place where you can make a signature that I haven't found yet? is anyone else having this issue?
Any help is much appreciated.

Go to settings, privacy, and un-check the box for show message text in the lockscreen section. Once you open privacy in settings it's pretty easy to figure out.

Hmm I don't know about BAMF I'm on Gingeritis VIII. I though that setting was always there tho even on stock. May have to ask in the BAMF thread or maybe someone else will come along. Sorry.

I have the same problem. How the hell do I disable text on lockscreen?
Might not be the perfect solution, but you could always try GO SMS Pro. That app has tons of different options for notifications. Hope it helps.

I have found another way around this if you don't mind using the AOSP lock screen.
The AOSP lockscreen will NOT display the contacts name or any part of the txt msg.
Use rootexplorer and go to the /system/apps folder and re-name the "htclockscreen.apk" to "htclockscreen.apk.old" then reboot your phone. If you ever wanna go back, just change the name back and reboot.

thanks for the tip, it works great!
BTW, did you have issue on data connection when you change the lockscreen. I have a feeling it's probably not, but just want to ask since I am losing data connection after I made the change. Probably its Verizon flacking ...

I seem to have an issue whereby when I adjust the alignment of a 3D image to make it crisper and then click Save, the image looks fine. Then when I navigate to another image or exit the gallery the image alignment reverts back to the original and the changes aren't saved.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Some people seem to have the same issue: http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=10163
Bump?
I've tried restarting the phone and removing the battery but the problem still persists...
Hmmm, I've noticed some changes seem to be saved but after connecting the phone to my Mac changes are lost! The file modified date does not change from the created date either...
I've found an app called 3DSteroid which can make alignment changes but surely I shouldn't really have to buy an app to do what the phone should already do!
So nobody else has this problem on here?
What are you using to adjust use alignments?
The standard Gallery app like so:
http://www.htc.com/uk/howto.aspx?id=83886&type=1&p_id=398
Wow! I didn't even know about that! That's cool. Now I can save my 3D pictures into 2D. Woohoo!
As for your question, mine remembers the settings. You think your gallery apk is corrupted? If so, I could upload mine and see if that helps.
Hehe it's a good feature to have (while it works on mine!).
Out of interest on yours does it remember the settings after you plug/unplug the phone from a computer and does it actually modify the files or does the gallery app store the alignment settings?
Thanks but I'm not rooted and I'm guessing I can't replace the app without having root access? It's something I'm looking at doing but I've only just got the phone so I'm a bit nervy about it!
From the looks of it, the gallery just remembers the new alignment. I don't think you need to be rooted to reinstall an apk file.
PM your email address to me. I'll send it to ya.
Ah thanks, I've just PM'ed you with my email. Do I just install from ASTRO like any other apk file?
Thanks!
The version you sent me was slightly newer. I clicked Upgrade but it comes up with an error 'Application not installed'.
File Version = 4.02117323218.115252
Installed Version = 4.0.2116342830.92213
Maybe I do need root access?
Well that sucks.
It's very odd... on some pics the settings seem to save (but then can revert back again at some point) and on other pics the settings don't save at all!
Oh well, thanks for your help anyway.
No prob. Hurry up and get rooted!
You guys do realize the adjustment is on a per-image basis, right? The setting isn't supposed to "stick" as a global setting because you are not adjusting the display: you are adjusting the parallax of an individual photo.
Mike
Yes we do. He's talking about how he tries to save the change, but for that file, it doesn't save the change.
And it's really weird how they revert back after a while, which leads me to believe that option has a cache limitation in the gallery, or either that his gallery is messed up.

Hi, yes I realise it is on a per-image basis. The issue I'm having is that changes do not 'stick' to the images.
I guess a hard reset could help but I'm reluctant to do that as it'll mean re-applying all my settings etc.
Root root root root!
Anyone else using GO SMS with the Razr? If so the theme you have selected for the app, is your background being cut off below your list of text messages? I have tried several themes and compared side by side with my old Galaxy S phone and can not for the life of me figure out why its doing it. Here are a couple of pictures showing it.
I am really liking GO better than Handcent, but the breaking of the theme although minor is still driving me crazy since its destroys the theme lol.
Thanks for anything! Looking forward to trying out some Roms in the future!
Just tried adding a custom background to check whether the same would happen, and no I didn't notice any oddity. Displays full screen as normal
Thats odd....I've got two brand new Razr's. Only thing I've done was to root them so I could restore other apps. Both of them do it as you can see in the pics. Guess I'll try clearing data and uninstalling and re-install and see what happens lol.
I've cleared all data related to GO SMS and uninstalled both it and the theme. Reinstalled and still it will not show a background on the message list within GO SMS. If you scroll left or right within GO SMS to the Application Center or the GO Chat screens the background is there.
Not sure what else to really do here....
Recent updates still haven't cleared this up. Anyone else have this issue on their razr's??
Seems odd I have two of them that are doing this. Its not a big deal, just kinda disappointing since I've purchased some themes that now don't display right.
When looking at the screen where it lists different text messages mine looks the same as yours, theme color on the people and grey under but it's full screen theme color when I click on individual txt conversations.

Well I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one then. I've tried to email the developer but emails seem to go unanswered. Not sure what is different from this phone and my old Galaxy S, but it looks fine on my old phone.
Must just be the Razr, I checked my wifes LG Revo and her screen is theme background all the way down.

Maybe after some new roms or ICS comes out this will be changed. Just wonder if its something with GO SMS or something with the Blur on the Razr.
Hi, I believe I read that with ICS, Google made it possible to remove carrier and phone producer apps. I have been through the settings but can't seem to find where to do so. Can someone help me?
Also, how do you remove eg. the contacts or messages icon? Before the update it was no problem to replace the custom SMS icon with another app, but it seems impossible now.

go to PLAYMARKET and get ICONCHANGER (RootUser) and you can download icons from the APPandTHEMES or you can create them on pgn format ! its so f. easy
I think you misunderstand, I want to replace the stock SMS app shortcut with a shortcut to the Go SMS app. But thanks anyway
-------------
Edit: I found out, I remembered it incorrectly and it's just going to apps, edit -> drag icon down to the touchwiz bar.
I have noticed this as an issue on 3 different ROMs that I have flashed and thinking it must be a Sense 4.0 issue, but thought I would ask anyway.
Inside of the MMS/SMS app, when reading a text, the text size is huge. I've set the font size to small inside the app, but nothing changes.I've also set the font size inside the system settings (settings -> display -> font size) to small, but the text size remains pretty large. Anyone know of a way to make this stick so the font is small?
The other issue is that if I set the message preview to 1 line (also inside the MMS/SMS app), it sticks until I go to another app and then come back into the MMS app, and then the preview is either 2 or 3 lines. VERY annoying and somewhat cosmetic, but is bugging the hell out of me.
I have tried this on Viper, Flipz and Joelz ROMs and the result is the same on each, so this is why I'm thinking it's a Sense 4.0 issue.
Anyone have any ideas?
For the font size issue, open a text message and then pinch the screen where the conversation is. It should zoom out and make them smaller.

I did that, thanks! I'll see if this sticks (thinking it should).

It probably won't.
I noticed the same "bug" and it seems like it randomly resizes the font.
I changed the font size to small in the system settings and it didn't change until I rebooted. Have you tried that yet by any chance?

Using the pinch method above did work for the font size inside the texts themselves, but didn't help with the preview.
And yes, I did also try changing the size and then rebooting but that didn't work either.
Same bug exists in email app, as far as preview line setting.

Same with mine. I rebooted and it went smaller but then the next time I went to it, it was small again. I wish there was more control over having different font sizes for different things.

message preview
i have exactly the same problem with the message previews... it's infuriating! after rebooting it reverts to 2-line preview but in the sms messages app settings it still says that it's set to 1-line
ive looked everywhere and cant seem to find this problem mentioned anywhere except from here...
i had this problem on ordroid 9 and now on viper. have tried superwipe, clearing app cache, etc to no avail..
did you find any solution? or does anyone have any ideas to make it stick when rebooting

No, I never did find any solution other than pinching the screen to reduce the text size. I have tried around 6 or so sense-based ROMs and they all do it, so I'm chalking it up to sense.
