[POLL] Who has mini tab working - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Just curious who all has the mini tab ROM working without galley, camera, or MMS issues.
I can receive MMS but can't send from stock app. Camera works but completely misaligned and gallery fc"s and xposed settings won't stick. I keep trying what people say worked for them but won't work yet.

Everything is functional for me...the camera is mis-aligned a bit but still usable. I don't use the stock SMS app, but MMS is working fine on the Sliding Messaging app
For your xPosed settings, did you add the modsettings folder, change the perms on the shared pref's (inside the modsettings) and then copy over the XML file from the DPI zip?

I was able to get camera and gallery to work perfectly by using romtoolbox to fix permissions on APPSETTINGS, then I used APPSETTINGS to change dpi of the CAMERA to 160 and resolution to 1000x1600. Save changes and do the same exact thing to the GALLERY. Make sure you save the settings and kill the apps when you do, it should give you that option. Hope this helps, sorry I have no idea about mms, I use a 3rd party app to save money on texting so never even tried...

MMS should work. It works on the N7100. Surely it isn't that much of a change just to have the LTE radios

I actually didnt use the xposed stuff and instead just flashed the dpi fix. stock sms wont work and the camera is oversized. Also the keyboard seems slightly missaligned. Still usable though.

If you haven't checked out the most current update, it is worth checking out...

Droid X2 Camera App [Mod]

This is a simple mod I made to the stock android 2.2 camera application. It binds the hardware search button to take pictures, since the phone doesn't have a hardware camera button.
I couldn't find something already to accomplish this for me and I figured others may also want a hardware button as I did.
Caveat: The stock 2.2 camera can only take up to 5MP shots or at least that's what it reports. I personally don't mind too much since it's largest use case would self portraits or when you're out with friends.
At any rate I hope it's useful.
*Update*
Okay I've updated and added a few things.
- It will now write to your actual sdcard "sdcard-ext" not the internal one
- I now have for both the 2.2.2 DX2 and the 2.3.3 DX2 for whichever your on.
- I have versions with and without notification bars. I don't like full screen in portrait personally.
I also decided to attach the stock the AOSP gallery I have been using
- This has a 2.2.2 and 2.3.3
- It also has notification bar or full screen
Please pick the proper version. NotificationBar in the name denotes that it is not full screen.
Hope you enjoy.
Very cool. Works great!

IF i wanted to go back to stock after installing this what would i do? Also why is this wanting full permissions to install? Why does it need gps loaction and to be able to look at sms messages

TL;DR Version: This wont replace stock. It uses same permissions as the regular one. I assume (GPS) geo-tag and (SMS) for tight picture message integration.
********************************************************************
-------------------------- Long Version --------------------------------------------
********************************************************************
It doesn't remove the stock because it's not the same package name. Android is designed to not let two applications of the same name (package name not display name) reside on the same system. If you try to install a second one it will assume it is an update and replace the old. This will fail because my signing key is not the same as the one on your stock camera application.
You'll have two install cases:
First on a stock android or one without a renamed camera package. This application will not replace it because it's a different package name (com.android.camera vs com.android.cameramod. It will simply run along side it.
Now if you're running this on the Droid X2 or another motoblur I believe the package is renamed on there to com.motoblur.camera or something to that effect. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
As for the permissions those are stock permissions of the AOSP camera application. You can confirm this by going into settings > applications > camera > show permissions.
I don't know them all off of the top of my head but I think (anyone feel free to correct me)
- Your messages - read SMS or MMS (for strong picture message integration ?)
- Your location - fine (GPS) location (geo-tagging pictures)
- Storage - modify/delete SD card contents (to save pictures)
- Phone Calls - read phone state and identity (prevent use while on call ?)
- Hardware controls - record audio, take pictures (it says it right under it...)
- System tools - prevent phone from sleeping (as does this one, obvious no ?)
*EDIT*
Note that it doesn't have network access. If the application was malicious and data mining you how would
it report any information back ?
Ok thanks for the clarification. I am still new to android. I also thought this was modifying the original camera app in some way not actually replacing it. Thnaks for clearing everything up.
@kc9bvi you're modifying the original camera app on the X2 ? Theme or the source ? I'm interested in the latter if you've access to it.
Isn't this just a different cam app?
I installed it and it gave me the stock android cam app when I opened it. The X2 cam app isn't perfect, but I think its better then the plain android one. Is there a way to modify the existing cam app, to make the search button take the pic?
This is not the Droid X2 camera app. It's not widescreen, there's no continual auto focus and the controls are different. It does work as it says it should, however.

Yes it opens the stock one because that's what it was built from. As for modifying the BlurCamera I have considered it and started looking into it. This can be done one of two ways, first and quite obvious if someone has the BlurCamera source I can use, second by using apktool and modifying the code in smali. To do this I need a deodexed BlurCamera.apk. I was trying to do it myself and got this error. If someone can help me with it or has a deodexed 2.2 BlurCamera.apk I can use I would like to try.
The error output is attached if anyone can help with it.

I did not say it was the Droid X2 camera app I said it was the stock android 2.2 one, which it is. You may have misread it. I am sorry if the thread title is misleading.
Deodexed BlurCamera.

I've Noticed On Any ROM So Far That Sometimes The Stock Browser Won't Download At Times. Couple Good Browsers Free In The Market Are Skyfire And Boat Browser Mini. Good Luck.
I've updated it. Check the main post.
Thanks, I will try it on my DX2
A shame it can't push 8mp huh. But I love having it sync to the non fail gallery
A very sincere thank you to the OP for making these apps with so many options. Your work.is greatly appreciated!

CM9 Beta, SMS Longer Than 160 Characters

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

MMS compression issues

I have been scouring the internet and various forums for an answer to this issue. I have been having some serious MMS compression on all of the AOSP ROMs I have used, namely Orca, LiquidSmooth and Carbon. This stands for any SMS app I use as well, even GO SMS where you can disable MMS compression and such. Is this a common issue, or is there perhaps something up with my phone and/or data connection? Any help on the subject would be appreciated, as sending screenshots make them illegible and pictures just look really pixelated and bad, it's quite annoying. Thanks in advance!
In go sms... Did you do into mms settings and check preserve image resolution? My images were horrible as well until I changed that. If it is not checked, go sms will resize it automatically.

Yeah, I have that checked, it still makes the images all blurry and grainy. I'm not sure what the issue is here. I may flash it back to stock and see if the problem persists there. I was just thinking maybe there is an issue with the AOSP SMS apps on the Note 2 or something, but no one seems to be having any issues with this as far as I can tell, as I haven't really been getting feedback. It may just be an isolated issue with me.
only other setting i can think of is in MMS setting (go sms)...changing the Maximum MMS size. i have mine set to 1.2M and can send screen shots with no issue.

Yeah, I've tried that already as well. I even changed it to the largest size possible in the Go SMS settings. Not sure what the problem is.
Edit: I do notice you are using Jelly Beans ROM. Are you using the AOSP SMS app as stock or the TW SMS app? Because as I stated before, I think it may be related to the AOSP SMS app on the Note 2 for some odd reason. I realize you are using GO as your SMS app, but what do you have installed as stock?
VZW will resize the image on the network side. You could send a 10MP image, but it would still arrive tiny on the other end. Don't think there is really anything you can do about it either.
I am on jelly Bean's Rom right now but was on asop prior and worked fine

Well I never had compression issues like this with my GNex at all. I'm at a loss ha ha.
Well, Messaging will compress the image to adhere to VZW's network side restrictions. You could change it so that messaging sends the full image, the AFAIK, the recipient still gets a crappy small image if it is oversized.

[Q] Sliding Messaging MMS

I downloaded Sliding Messaging Pro on my Verizon Note 2 (rooted, CarbonRom 1.6) and it is a great messaging app. My only issue so far is that I cannot get MMS to send. I have tried using both of the preset APN's for Verizon that are included in the app settings.
Anybody know how I can fix this?

This is a far fetch try, but I noticed this on the charge by accident. Make sure you have the stock messaging app. If not reload it. I deleted the stock messaging app and replaced with gosms on the charge, and the same thing happened. Also if you have the stock messing app, make sure to go into it and check for the auto retrieve (not sure if this will help or not, i've just always done it)
So I emailed the dev. He said to make sure wifi is off, otherwise MMS will not work, which should really be stated in the app or at least the app description on the Play Store somewhere.

Has anyone gotten this to work yet? I just downloaded it and tried both presets for Verizon that come with it and neither work. It doesn't look like it actually changes the settings either when I click a preset.

Best SMS replacement for korean Galaxy Alpha

Good day! Please delete if repost or not allowed.
For those have korean Galaxy Alpha with SMS to MMS limit conversation issue.
I have Galaxy Alpha SM-G850L and I have that issue also, I tried also the xposed framework with disabling SMS to MMS conversation and it partially works, but the problem is you can't send a message with longer than 160 characters and yes it wasn't converted to MMS but the system still detects it as an MMS.
I like the stock Messaging app from samsung because of its functions, I tried many messaging apps that could replace the stock and of course I like also the looks of the stock Samsung Messaging.
Luckily I Found this Chomp SMS with similar functions and the most I like was you can theme it to your liking.
I already modified the apk for Stock Samsung Messages "Icon" and also changed the name to "Messages" to mimic the stock of course.
Instructions:
1.) Download the MMs.apk just an ordinary app and install
2.) next copy the samsung.zip theme to sdcard/chomp/themes
3.) After installing go to settings and use the Samsung theme which I made.
Its not a paid app from playstore.
Nice work!
But I'm still happy using SMS Secure
Thanks, btw If im rich I'll use that SMS secure even its not customisable hehe!
Chomp wins for me. I haven't downaded it for you thgh sir. But I like your mods
