[Q] Modded MMS.apk with no sms to mms conversion - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so before you jump and say I did't search i spent 2 days looking for this.
I'm using a cm10.1/aokp/pa rom and on the last update sms's are getting converted to mms, tried to use a previous version of mms.apk but holobam doesn't apply and i'm looking for something that does both.
Almost forgot tried to use a guide I found on xda but doesn't apply in my case (see attachment below)
So do you think you can help me?

I got that too today when I was trying to send a pic to another TMO subscriber, I send it to ATT and it went through fine, try resending to TMO, and get the error.
Just tried resending it, and the error. I compiled a new MMS with the same pic to the same subscriber and it went through
I am having this same issue. When ever I try to send an mms I get that error. I am running one of masters 2.2 roms, but I have tried other 2.2 roms and I have gotten this same error. But when I flash back to my nandroid of a 2.1 rom the error goes away.

Thx guys. Wanted to make sure it wasnt just me.
Bump. This is really driving me nuts. No matter what 2.2 rom I flash I get this error

FIXED that Error on my phone
NEVERMIND: ONLY WORKED BRIEFLY THAN BACK TO SAME PROBLEM.....
I had same problem with Obsidian v2 & v4.2 ULF with picture messaging otherwise MMS.
This fixed it perfectly for me:
Go to your main menu settings.
Than Applications, Next Manage Applications, than Running Applications.
Click on "Messaging", Click "Clear Data"
Exit back to main screen.
Now open messaging.
Go to messaging settings by hitting the menu button on the phone.
While in messaging settings page, hit the phones menu button again,
only one option appears to "Restore Default Settings".
Click it & exit.
Now try to send a MMS/picture message. Worked like a charm for me.
Hope it helps some of you all out.
I just flashed today the axura 2.0.5, I am also having this same issue.
But this does not happen if the txt message has no picture attachment.
This is the only issue I have with the axura rom
I think I will have to go back to 2.1 if I can find a fix to this issue
The only way I have found to send an mms is to actually type the phone number I am sending it to. If I try to send an mms to one of my contacts then I get the error message. It is pretty anoying
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Ditto axura 2.0.5. No MMS. Have tried every answer I could find but NG. Hope there is a fix soon.
***NEVERMIND: ONLY LOOKS LIKE IT WORKS BUT FRIENDS DONT RECEIVE THE ATTACHED PICTURE ONLY THE TEXT. f**K IT i GIVE UP. Just going to have to wait for a better ROM or newer froyo build or something. Frustrated but its ok. Whatever.
Below is for informational use only as it it still did not fix issue:
I eventually pulled the mms.apk from Obsidian V3 ROM. It is the AOSP mms version Team Whiskey modified to work with (android 2.2) & Obsidian in that release version. I also changed the icon to the touchwiz messaging icon to keep the look instead of the greem messaging icon. I will post the file later tonight for anyone interested. It does work fine for me. Tested several times using it in Obsidian V4.2 ULF.
You will simply have to close your current messaging application, clear data than use root explorer to delete the existing mms.apk in your system/app/ section and paste the one I'm using. Will have it posted after I get off work today. At least I have normal functionality this way.
Error in server response - axura ROM
Also using Axura 2.0.5
I been trying all kinds of get around. I nstalled handsent app , using a different mms app doesn't fix the issue. It worked only once , then error in server response again!
tried typing the tel number to send the mms, still error, very annoying.
And if I go back to 2.1 I can send out mms
Feelx77,
if you can post your solution with an installation procedure , alot of us will be happy
Heres the AOSP MMS that Team Whiskey had in their Obsidian V3 ROM. I pulled it and changed the default icon to the touchwiz icon.
As in my previous post one page back, it is useable and it looks like it sends your pictures but it really doesn't either for me. My friends only received the text that is included when I attached a picture. This mms.apk did not give me any errors, it just did not really send any pictures. Only looks like it does but no one receives them. If anything new comes to mind I will post later for everyone.
So, I just put back the regular MMS.apk on my phone for now. Out of ideas. Just have to wait to see if developers find a solution or fix it in new upcoming ROM releases or next froyo build.
Posting the file below if anyone wants to experiment with it. Installation instructions are in my previous post one page back.
Add area code to fix?
Master who made the ROM hnted how to fix the issue "he said: add the area code" I am posting the link to what he said
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821468&page=218
read post #2172
I tried to read back but I can not find the original post stating how to fix the problem by adding the area code.
I don't understand what he means by adding the area code. Maybe someone can comment on this fix.
FYI
Yeah I've heard making sure you have the area code or adding "1" in front of number. Those ideas work if your typing in a number to picture text but if I select a contact saved on the phone thats when it errors.
Other suggested moving contacts over to SIM card and than it works but that defeats the luxury of having a smart phone if I cant keep the contacts on my phone with each contacts extra details that cant be saved to SIM cards.
So, I know I CAN picture text manually for each message I send but I am trying to find a natural way to send mms picture messages easily by selecting any contact in my drop down list that has been saved to the phone without trickery....just like it did exactly with eclair 2.1 before. Ya' know
I read back thru the post, it was discuss to add the area code. Obviously I add the area code because my parents lives in ohio and I am live in california. I tried the following to no success:
1-000-000-0000
000-000-0000
(000)000-0000
1 (000) 000-0000
Is there someone who can tell me how to retrieve the error log, so that I can send it to master for review
It is 10:30pm , I am in communication with master right now, about this issue. He gave me things I can try, but none of them has fixed the issue.
I will let you guys know once, I get a good fix to the issue.
The ROM is great, except for this hitch,
I gave up on this a month a go. I switched to the Handcent mms client. I keep checking to see if the stock client works as I don't want two mms.
I also about to give up on the axura 2.0.5 , the only thing is that the skype works because it based on the 2.2 froyo .
Based on the axura 2.0.5 thread that I read, master believes that there is no problem.
Based on this thread , there is a number of users with this issue. It maybe a fraction of the users, but it's real.
I've ask master, how to pull out the log, so that I can send it to him for analysis.

I don't believe there is no problem, there is deff a problem.
It just amazes me that only some of you have the issue.
Keep in mind, it isn't only my ROM.
If you want a fix for it right this second then you can install the CM6 MMS
Hello Master,
Thanks for responding.
I really like your ROM,
Hopefully you will find a fix for it, it maybe in the form of a patch.
Do you stilll want me to send you a log, just let me know how to do this, and I will send it to you immediately.
Thank you again for this great ROM

How to CM 6.1 MMS apk install

*known bugs* May send text message to wrong recipient. I have not had this happen yet, but it has been reported.
I have attached the MMS.apk that I used for this. If you have an updated MMS that you want to try go for it. Also if anyone has the cm 7 MMS and can get it working let me know. I couldnt extract it and get it to work. I got this mms from a ROM someone made for the captivate. I only use it for the long multiple vibrate notification for text messages that I often miss when I am at work due to the noisy factory conditions I work in.
Method for install
1. Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine the mms to your phone. Alternately you can put the mms.apk on your phone and just install it from there, but it requires sideloading to be enabled, although if you have it rooted, you probably have sideloading enabled too.
2. Uninstall the "Text messaging apk" using titanium back, or root explorer. *requires root*
The old apk is called text messaging apk in titanium backup. Not sure the exact file name(text.messaging or whatever) as I have deleted it already.
Thanks for this. Stock mms is the best IMO. Speedy and stable
Sent from my Atrix 4G using XDA app.
I have been really wanting to do this, but I am not seeing mms.apk anywhere on the phone itself. I am guessing motorola calls its mms app something different? I have the new one on the SD card ready to go, but I don't know where the old one is to backup/freeze in the meantime.
Edit: Maybe it's conversations.apk?

You're right, it seems to be called Text Messaging in TiBa, I don't see an actual file when using root explorer, but freezing "text messaging" in TiBa and installing this mms.apk is working perfectly. Thanks for your help
This MMS apk still has the pre 2.3.2 SMS bugs.
Well that's not good. Ill ask around in the captivate forum for a newer version. I get a parsing error when I try to pull it out of the update file on cyanogenmod. I even tried swapping out the cert files within the apk itself and I still cant get the newer apk to install. I will update the op.

(Solved...sorta) is there an mms compression fix?

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....

No more problems ppl. Change out your mms to a stock 2.1 mms. I did this and send crystal clear pics using mms now..

Handcent SMS allows 1M, 1.2M, 2M, and 5M attachments. The two highest settings do say "EVO only" though.

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.

Click to collapse
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?

[Q] Replaced mms.apk, every new incoming message gets put in new thread. Any fix?

Hello xda people.
So I tried installing both the 4.1.2 apk from AOKP rom and the 4.1.1 from some defualt rom. I got the messaging part working with both .apk's. My problem however is that when I replace them every new incoming message gets put into a new thread in the message app.
How would I go about to fix this?
More editing: I wasn't 100% clear, but what I want was the android messaging app, not the samsung one. I also figured it could be that I have to replace the contact.apk as well? Like always, any input would be nice.
I did remove the stock app with titanium backup for those who might be interested in doing the same.
Also: I'm doing this because I want the emoji support in the default app without having to use a custom sms app.
I'm running Omega v31.1 so using the stock 4.1.1 samsung sms app I would presume

Up. Same thing here. I'm running the stock Samsung ROM, and I've tried replacing SecMms.apk with almost all mms.apk's I've found on xda-dev. Always the same issue, although it does happen only for some contacts, not all. For some contacts, it's indeed reusing an old thread, as it's supposed to.
UP
I have the same issue...stock rooted galaxy s3 android 4.1.1
I have tried alla MMS.apk 4.X+ version but everytime the same error
btw gs3 4.1.1 ita
The alleged fix is to add international codes to all your numbers. I tried this using number fixer. It worked for about 5 hours then messages started creating new threads again. Very annoying, ended up going back to GoSMS
I tried this too....everyone have a fix for everything here, so thought that someone fixed this
Same problem here, any suggestions?
same here.what a pity some modded APK are realy nice
possible fix
hi,
try this..
everytime you create a message, use the contact app first to select the recipient from there you click the icon for messaging beside the mobile number. then, when the recipient reply it will thread to you original message.

XT912 on CM10.1 RC1 MMS issue

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?

I just noticed today that I can't receive, or send, pics after almost a month on the the stable release of cm-10.1.2. I had no problems before. I restarted the phone and cleared the messaging app cache, but it's still broke. That's when I came out to XDA to search for a solution. I found your post, but no solution so far.
