Hi everyone,
Eclair update, see changelog
I've just wrote a patch that allows you to change the MMS User-Agent within the messaging application. It's handy to for the follow reason:
If your carrier does not recognise the User-Agent as one it has seen before, and they are not using a well behaved MMSC, the MMSC will simply degrade the message to the lowest quality. The fix is to "spoof" the User-Agent from a phone that your carrier does recognise.

I'm on O2 in the UK and at present, all my picture messages would previously come through as 160x120px. I have successfully tested this with a Nokia N95 User-Agent string (examples below) and my MMS's now come through perfectly.
The APK below is built against cyanogen's CyanogenMod 3.9.7 (which also means you get rgv151's Send On Enter patch and other goodies aswell). The patch is also in the ZIP. Once installed, the setting is found under Messaging -> Settings -> MMS User-Agent.
To install, download the zip below, extract the APK and:
adb remount
adb push Mms.apk /system/app

Changelog
v1
Initial release
v2
Cosmetic Changes - Now has a new "Advanced Settings for MMS" screen in the settings. You can also now choose from a predefined list of User Agents, or enter your own by selecting 'Custom' and then entering your user agent in the option below.
Rebuilt against CM3.9.7
Hero
For the Hero Mms.apk, I've had to do it a bit different. There's no menu's, I've just decompiled the classes.dex (using JF's superb smali) from the Mms.apk in JACHeroski's 2.7.4 and changed the hardcoded values for the User Agent. I've recompiled three versions, one using the N95 string, another using the BlackBerry 8800 (both in hero_mms.zip) and the final one using a Softbank UA (in Mms_softbank.zip). I'm not running a Hero rom so can't test these, let me know if you try them. You only need one of the APKs from the ZIP! Rename the one you want to Mms.apk, then push it where you need to on your ROM.
Eclair
After quite a few people PM'ing me, I've updated the original patch for Eclair. I'm still on Donut which is why I haven't updated it before. Anyway it's been commited to OpenEclair and should be in the next release: http://github.com/openeclair/androi...mmit/3e82f91112764a998944415b031582b9caaf1217
I haven't compiled it myself therefore I can't produce an APK for download as yet. If you fancy doing it yourself, here's the patch: http://paste2.org/p/692468.

If you don't know, this command will tell you where:
adb shell find /system -name Mms.apk

so you're saying that we could push this patch onto a hero build, and then we would get our MMS at the quality we should, instead of it being compressed and looking horrible?
is this the Mms.apk from the Hero ROM or just the regular cupcake messaging app?
thanks! hope this works!
Tested and working!

Great job on this!
do you think if you had time you coudl crack open the mms.apk for the Hero ROM?
i can send you the correct Mms.apk to see if you can edit the user agent on it also!!
thanks just PM me.
I am assuming that the User Agent is listed (by default) as the phone itself, and generally performs the same regardless of the installed ROM. Is that correct?

this would be so awesome considering it's the only thing at this point keeping me from switching to hero builds exclusively.

The default is "Android-Mms/0.1" and I haven't changed that. I'm currently working on a new version that will let you select from some predefined choices (as well as being able to input a custom one). Not sure on whether it will work for other ROMs but I can't see why not.

This totally depends on whether the source is available for the APK. I don't particularly fancy decompiling the dex files but I may have a look soon.

will this spoofing of the user agent allow people that do not have the data plan to trick tmobile into saying hey this person doesnt have a g1 so lets go ahead and send? since most phones do not require data plan to send/receive a mms

I'm not sure about this data plan, but yes T-Mobile will not be able to tell you have a G1 (or Android phone).

I'm going to guess it's an issue with the drive not being set to read/write. Perhaps your other rom set that automatically.

Hello all,
I hope I'm not infringing on some forum rules by asking/posting in this format.
I am looking for a Social centric phonebook much alike the one found with HTC sense or other customized interfaces.
To be clear I'd like to find all information attached to a particular contact in 1 place. So if I get to Mr X, i'll see all text messages ever exchanged with him, his facebook, twitter, what have you page and call logs.
I've seen Phonebook 2.0 www [.] voxmobili [.] com / phonebook / which looks just about right except it appears it hasn't been launched yet.
So is there anything right now that could do the trick.
Note: My nexus is 1 week old if even and I'd rather not root for now but I'd be glad to hear about apps that'd require rooting, for future reference.
Many thanks
www.getaddressbook.com
does what you wwant, but its not perfect. Hopefully it will improve.
That's definitely a good start thanks. I see that the latest version has FB disabled though, I'm not a big user but most of my contacts will be from there so I'm pondering a bit on whether I'll wait or install right away

Hello,
At the moment I'm working on a new version of SayMyName Dessert. It's my first app (but it's already on the Android Market for more than a year ) and I just can't stop developing it. Mostly, I blame my users for that. You send me feature-requests, bug-reports, good feedback, bad feedback... even donations!
Currently there are two versions of SayMyName available at the Android Market. One for Cupcakes, and one for Donuts and beyond.
With the upcoming version of SayMyName, I want to merge those versions, fix old, very annoying bugs and add some often requested features.
Why I'm telling you that? Because I need even more feedback, more testers, more contributers D) and some guys who translate my app into various languages.
So, if you want to help me, please download the attached .apk and give me some feedback / requests / whatever comes to your mind. Just leave a reply here at xda or send me a mail. (tomtasche AT gmail)
Thank you very much
Tom
P.S.: If you want to try the old, buggy version of SayMyName, feel free to search the Android Market for "SayMyName Dessert".
edit:
I forgot to mention what this app is for.
Official market-description:
"Want to know who's calling you without looking at your phone? SayMyName reads out loud the name saved in your adressbook and tells you who's calling.
- reads SMS, GMail and K9-Mail too
- very customizable
- discreet mode
- Locale Plug-in
- open-source
- supports non-latin languages too
See website for changelog, etc."
edit:
Changelog:
- reads nicknames!
- fixes, fixes, fixes.
- much more
- mute gestures
- read number-/mail-type (custom labels supported too!)
- auto translate messages (enable "translate")
- improved widget
- fixes
- pause music during speech on phones with Android 2.2
- sk, cs and de translations by David K. (thanks! )
- supports people who can't find TTS Extended in Android Market / don't have access to Android Market
Planned features in near future:
- more translations (any volunteers?)
- bluetooth (maybe I found somebody who can help me! )
edit:
If you want to help translate, download this file and translate the text between the tags:
Code:
<string name="...">TRANSLATE THIS</string>
Return the translated file to me afterwards.
Thank you very much
Tom
PS: Please let me know if you want me to mention your name / mail-address / website.

Thanks! Tell me if you miss something.
I just tried the app for SMS notifications, but it gets interrupted by the notification. I'd like the notification to come first, followed by the announce and then the message. As it is now half the announcement gets killed by the notification.
I tried setting both Reading break and speech delay to 5 (seconds?), but the announcement started immediately anyway.
The app also seems to open a TTS-channel on start, causing noticeable hiss for a couple of seconds.
And the locale-plug-in, is it a separate download? Couldn't see it in Tasker even if I force-stopped it.
Your app seems to perform all the functions I want from TTS-notifications, now I only have to wait for the engine to not sound like a broken record in my language.

Yup, that's the voice.... Froyo (CM6) on Nexus. Truth be told I don't really like the english voice either, it's just far too synthetic compared to some of the other TTS-engines out there:

Unfortunately I'm not responsible for the voice. It comes from Android, but the AT&T sample is very impressive!
I've uploaded another update at the first post, which fixes speech-delay.

By the way, you can change the voice in "Speech settings" (linked in SayMyName). Change the "Engine" to "Pico TTS" and you'll get a female voice.

Excellent.
A slightly more convoluted feature request: Do you think it would be possible to change the TTS-language based on which contact a text message comes from? Say for instance if the contacts had TTS=en_US or TTS=sv_SE or any other preferred language in the notes-section?
The reason for this request is of course that I receive messages in different languages depending on the contact, so if I just decide on a language half the time it'll sound even worse than necessary.

Any idea what's going on Tom?
EDIT: Tried the earlier .6.3 and it seems the app is trying to search the Market for "pname:com.google.tts" doesn't find anything matching that though and just sticks on that screen

Sorry for the rambling post lol
Did you know the Evo 4G has a secret second notification LED? It's true! Located on the right side of the speaker near the Sprint logo, the so-called WiMAX LED was added by HTC but never put to work. With WiMAX Message Notifier, you can put this LED to good use.
---
Downloads below. If you have any issues, please, please, please read the release notes and FAQs before you post here.
If you get an FC, check logcat (e.g., using aLogcat) to see if there is a stack trace. Next, check to see if there is a log file on your SD card in the /WiMAXNotifier/logs/ directory. If you find anything, please post it here, or let me know if there are still no logs.
IMPORTANT: Uninstall any previous version of WiMAX Notifier before installing the latest one! That shouldn't be necessary in the future, but for now it is.
Market: coming soon! Either with the next version, or once I am confident that this version is stable.
Source code: evo-wimax-led-notifier Google Code project page
Release Notes:
Possible future improvements:
Support for email/missed call/voicemail/whatever notifications (requires research)
Revamp the UI (Just needs some time)
Coming soon
4G connectivity notifications (I mostly know how to do this)
GMail notifications
ETA: ???
v2011-01-30.2 BETA (current)
Non-broken version of what 2011-01-30.1 should have fixed. Needs testing on CM. Thanks pseudo_nomen!
If you are running a version older than v2011-01-23.1, you need to uninstall it before installing this version.
Ignore all texts from sender 9016 - these are Sprint notifications. This should really fix the voicemail-causing-light-to-get-stuck-on bug.
v2011-01-30.1 BETA (broken, don't use)
Hopefully fixed the issue where new voicemail notifications would cause the LED to come on and get stuck on. I have no idea if this will work on CyanogenMod or with any given messaging app.
If you are running a version older than v2011-01-23.1, you need to uninstall it before installing this version.
Examine incoming SMSes and try to determine whether they are text messages or voicemail control commands
v2011-01-24.1
Try to work around a bug in CyanogenMod. This should work on all ROMs, but if you already have v2011-01-23.1 and you aren't running CM, there's not any reason to upgrade.
If you are running a version older than v2011-01-23.1, you need to uninstall it before installing this version.
Check for ability to write to device, and try root if unable to. Hopefully this will work around a bug in CyanogenMod.
v2011-01-23.1
Almost completely re-written! Should be much faster and more reliable than bluedragon's version.
Uninstall old versions before installing this one!
Rewrote LED control code with a much less hacky version. Should be faster and more compatible across phones/ROMs.
Rewrote notification management code. Benefits: More stable, much faster detection of messages getting read, less battery usage (may not be noticeable)
New GUI. Currently looks pretty awful, as it was not a priority in this version.
App will now check to make sure the WiMAX LED is available whenever you start it. If you get a message saying "Your phone/ROM doesn't support the WiMAX LED!", post a message here with your hardware revision, ROM, and kernel.
Prepared code for adding new features.
v2011-01-08.1 (doesn't work for some people)
I still haven't been able to track down the FCs. The only big change in this version is the addition of a lot more logging - hopefully I'll finally be able to catch them.
More logging to try and catch those elusive FCs.
Move "Reset LED" to the main screen of the app instead of having it in a menu.
v2011-01-04 19:11
Initial release. There will still probably be FCs. I am trying to track down where they are coming from.
Added a "Reset LED" option in case the service crashes without disabling the LED. You can access it by opening the app and pressing menu. It will turn the LED off (but won't mark your messages as read).
* This is an update of the abandoned WiMAX Message Notifier project by bluedragon742. The primary goal is to fix the random Force Closes present in bluedragon's version. I may also add additional features at a later point.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q. How do I stop the normal LED from coming on? I don't need both!
A. From the launcher, press Menu and go to Settings --> Display --> Notification flash. You can then uncheck SMS/MMS. If you want to disable the built-in vibration/sound, or if you are using a non-stock messaging app, you should check the settings in all of the messaging apps you have installed.
Q. How much does this app cost?
A. For XDA members, it's free. There will be a paid version in the Market at some point, probably for $0.99. Of course, donations are always gladly accepted. If you're too cheap/broke to send me a buck or two, Dropbox signups through my referral link are always appreciated.
Q. Is this app ad-supported?
A. Nope. There really isn't any way I can think of to add ads.
Q. Does this app require root?
A. No.
Q. Is ____ feature supported?
A. Currently this app only handles SMS and MMS messages. I will hopefully be able to support incoming/missed calls, new voicemails, and GMail in future releases.
Q. Will this app drain my battery?
A. This app runs in the background via a Broadcast Receiver and only runs the service while the LED is on which therefore should not kill your battery.
Q. Can you support ____ rate or _____ color?
A. I am limited to what colors and rates are provided by the system.
Q. Are you using all of the available rates and colors?
A. Yes
Q. Will this work with my current SMS/MMS app and do I have to disable any notifications?
A. This app is designed to compliment, or work along side, your existing SMS/MMS app meaning that you should not have to disable anything in order for this app to work properly. It has been tested with the stock SMS/MMS app, Handcent, and Chomp.
Q. Do you have a Twitter account that I can follow to track your progress?
A. No. All progress will be posted in this thread, so you might have to dig through it.
Q. How do I live test the SMS and MMS notifications to make sure they work correctly?
A. Simple - send yourself an e-mail to "[your 10-digit number]@messaging.sprintpcs.com" for SMS or "[your 10-digit number]@pm.sprint.com" for MMS
Q. Does the message service always run in the background?
A. No. It is started when a new message is received and killed when the message has been read.
Q. What should I do if this app force closes?
A. Post here with the contents of the file "/sdcard/WiMAXNotifier/logs/wmnTrace_XXXXX.stack" if one exists and a dump from LogCat so that I may see what is causing the problem and fix it quickly. The .stack file is just a normal text file; you can rename it to .txt and attach it to your post, or open it in a text editor and copy the contents to Pastebin.com then post a link.
Q. Why does this app require Internet permissions?
A. In order for the hyperlinks in the About dialog to work correctly. (Full permissions list coming soon!)
Reserved for possible future use.
Niiice, glad to see a new thread. Thanks for keeping it alive and hopefully updated.

I'm not too surprised - I only fixed a few very minor things in this release. My main goal was to add the turn off led feature and get a new thread started. I plan to look more closely at it this weekend.
Do you recomend us removing the update from November/December and installing the january update from scratch. Or is it ok to just installe the new version over the older one?

Thanks again Ninja! It has been working perfectly for me ever since you re-did it. Is there any way you can make this compatible with gingerbread? I tried installing it on dc13/evokings titanium black project x GBv3 and it wouldn't work.
I got my first force close since installing the "new" app. I could not find an error file on my sd card.
I need this app, can someone help.

Wow thanks a lot, that came in handy! :good:
Where did you get it from? I noticed it is in version 1.0.2 (see Settings > About), however latest version on CM GitHub (github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_CMFileManager/tree/cm-11.0) only says 1.0.1 in its changelog... Did you extract it from a ROM? Any idea why this version (with actualised changelog) cannot be found anywhere on CM infrastructure (gerrit, github...)?

Extracting from a ROM is the quickest way and most ROMs have 1.0.2 in them.

You mean, compared to building from source ? This wasn't the reason why I was asking: I was just trying to find a definitive answer on "what's the latest version of this app", and official source code is always the best option to sort out such enquiry
It seems strange to me that most ROMs have an 1.0.2 version while CM repos don't seem to contain anything higher than 1.0.1 (by changelog comparison). So my question remains: where does that updated version come from?
Cheers

You were probably looking at the cm-10.2 branch lol. The default branch of CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_CMFileManager is cm-10.2 if you look here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_CMFileManager/branches

I thought so at first, but if you look at this branch's CHANGELOG.md file, you'll see it hasn't been modified in two years and mentions the "1.0.1" version as the latest one. This is why I've precisely mentioned the branch URL in my first post, but because of my inability to post links you might have overlooked it Thanks for your investigations nonetheless!

Look in AndroidManifest.xml
Didn't see that you already mentioned you looked in cm-11 branch, they just haven't update the changelog but the app that gets compiled is 1.0.2.

Thanks, this one does indeed mention 1.0.2! However, where does the changelog entry in the app's "Settings > About" screen come from then?

Makes sense Is it a recurring part in any Android app (I'm no dev so pardon the naivety of my question(s))? Still, I believe think they could update that CHANGELOG.md file at some point, that would clear up some confusion...
Do you know of any other good free/libre file manager? Although this one quite pleased me when I discovered Cyanogenmod a few weeks ago (I'm pretty new to Android, just got my first droid phone last month), which is why I wanted to install it on my current OmniROM, it doesn't seem to be actively developed. I'm just wondering which features I could have a need for in the near future that this file manager doesn't offer... Thanks.
I normally use CM App Installer from the play store to get the file manager and the torch app

In this case it's raw text, but you can put images in there as well (any files in fact). Files in res/raw won't be processed/compiled, it'll just be added to the package.
For example, in CMFileManager the changelog (excerpt):
Code:
Version 1.0.2
-------------------
* move bookmarks and history into a navigation drawer (by Florian Edelmann)
If you wanted to use that in strings.xml you would have to put them in <string> tags:
Code:
<string name="changelog">Version 1.0.2
-------------------
* move bookmarks and history into a navigation drawer (by Florian Edelmann)
</string>
(For those reading this in Tapatalk, you can't see the xml tags since it handles it differently)
In some cases it can cause issues, and it's sometimes it's better not to clog up strings.xml with a large amount of text (like this changelog). Also easier to modify in some cases (again, like a changelog).
I use Root Explorer, but it's a paid app. There's a free version but afaik it can't modify files which need root access.

Nice, thanks for the tip this looks interesting! However, as the author says in the app description he builds them himself when he has time to do so. Therefore pulling them from a current nightly or latest M release (as Lethargy mentioned) seems to be as good (and that is one less person to rely upon). I also wanted to replace omniROM's Launcher3 by CM's Trebuchet, so I'll have a go at it (thanks to MultiROM ).

Thanks for your explanations, I better understand now.
Concerning the file manager, I'm looking specifically for free/libre software app (as in "open source", but I don't like this expression and prefer to stick to Richard Stallman's definition). A search in F-Droid didn't turn in that many results, so that's why I was asking "at large"... I know many apps on the Play Store are libre software, but because the store doesn't mention their license it gets pretty tricky to find them. I try to always favour free/libre apps when I can.

If you ever want anything explained feel free to ask me in a PM
I'm not too sure of any others then. :silly: I'd just stick to CM File Manager if you specifically want a decent one that's open source. I just prefer Root Explorer over CM File Manager since it's a little better for root file management and it can access SMB (so I can access files on my PC without bothering to plug in my USB cable so often).
Maybe look around XDA for one.

Sure, will do. Thanks for the very amicable offer, I must admit I often find myself quite lost within the Android realm

Makes sense. Well for now I'm indeed fine with CMFM, and I've found a few alternatives thanks to http://alternativeto.net/software/open-manager/?license=opensource&platform=android (still can't post links sorry okay, now it looks like I can, that's nice). XDA forums are such a great resource for anything mobile/telephony related! It is rare that a single website gathers the biggest part of a development community. So great.
Anyway, thanks for your replies!
Does it work on Lollipop?
