Has this been done? If not, is it easy to create? I ask in here to offer more publicity to achieve an answer as I still can't believe this hasnt been done on the stock MMS app, I don't want to have to use an alternative one as the stock one offers everything but the removal of the annoying contact pics.
*EDIT* Mods feel free to move if this thread annoys.

First off - Apologies if this question has been answered, I look far and wide and searched a few times, but couldn't find the right solution.
Also I just transferred from an iPhone to Android and am quite ecstatic about the power in my hand.
Q 1. I need a modified LogsProvider.apk to clear the text messages from my call log. Any of the files I got from xda don't seem to work for me.
Q 2. Which would be an ideal ROM to use in the infuse? My main phone usage is for regular everyday apps (banking, finance, email, FB etc.), browsing, hot-spot set-up...
Also if I'm using a rooted, unlocked phone would changing (is flashing the right word to use? I'm quite unclear on what flashing means!) the ROM disable or roll-back either of them?
Q 3. Instagram equivalent camera Apps for the okay 8 MP camera which this comes with.
Appreciate the help and thanks so much!

root is a binary in the system and is included in most roms, you can downgrade it or end up with it corrupt and broken but you probably wont loose it entirely.
if the phone is carrier unlocked then that is in the efs partition. it is normally unaffected by rom flashing unless something goes very wrong. you wont loose the carrier unlock.
I don't really know about camera apps in the market. many might not take photos @ 8mp but to be honest it's a total waist of space. I can't really eecomend an app. sorry.
Thanks - any help in the phone log section? How do I disable every message from being shown? I just want to be able to see dialed, received and missed calls.

umm... download a rom
without it??? yeah I don't think logs provider is available on the forum for froyo. I think some of the froyo roms have the mod though.. but it can also be done in the phone.apk I believe. also some of the current gb roms can be set to calls only through the menu button.
If you get on a gb rom I posted a modified logsprovider.apk to remove SMS from the call logs..just sayin

Most the modded logs providers that are listed are for GB.
Also if you tried to install one, it doesn't automatically take out the messages that are already there but will from that point on.

I believe the froyo infused 1.6 rom has the logs provider mod?

Im wondering if there is a place to submit ideas on widgets/apps. There's not many people with the talent/skills to create programs but its sometimes the ones that know less that can think out the box.
Does anyone know of such a place?
I have this idea for an Instant Messenger widget. Since im very fond of widgets (because to me its a huge difference between our apps and iOS apps) I would love to be able to go through my AIM/Yahoo Buddy list on screen and send a message to someone that way without having to open up the specific app.
If something like this already exists id love to know about it. Even if its just a widget showing you who's online and when tapping sends you to an IM box (Kinda like the FB widget that shows you recent status updates/news posts.) If not id love to spread the idea and see if anyone can create such a thing.
Post this in the general android forums under the proper section rather than a device-specific forum under Development (where it should not be). Someone there might have some ideas.

I was thinking that but I've seen many other IM apps that weren't made by AOL or Yahoo so I figured a 3rd party would be more interested then the main source. Especially after seeing AOL ruin their AIM app with their recent upgrade.
Is there a way a Mod can redirect this thread to the proper place or should I just create a new one?

I promise you that none of the developers in this forum would be willing to spend time on an AOL widget I didn't know anyone still used that.

Yeah Im sure its a dying program but I figured it would bring it back a bit if it was always on =P like BBM ... when I had a bb i hated bbm but i used it cuz it was just ALWAYS on. If I had a widget I would always be on lol if i had the time I would love to learn how these things work and just make one.
Sorry in advance if this has specifically been addressed. Doing a quick search didn't seem to cover it.
Is it possible for the experts here in XDA to write something into Android's code to allow for a Reply All feature in SMS, like in iPhone's SMS? I'm thinking the Reply All feature must be unfixable because there is conversations all over the internet for people requesting Google to fix it. Some have even stayed with Apple because they would miss that feature too much.
And why you're at it, build in emoticons. The emoticons are only available in 3rd party apps, like GoSMS Pro and Handcent, as far as I know.

Addressing the second question here...
Which emoticons are you referring to? You can already use all the regular emotes in an SMS. ;-)
You might want to take a look at alernative keyboards to make your emoticon chatting a little easier (swiftkey has quick buttons for emotes, for example).

This is not the place to request features. if what you are looking for is in gosms, use it. Not to come off as a d*ck but this isnt burger king, they dont have your rom your way right away.
If you were find code that would be usable for this feature, it would be a better way to present your request.
Ranting aside, i believe gosms also has the reply all feature if im not mistaken. Im not sure as i dont have an iphone to compare with. But i do use gosms as my sms replacement.

First off, I'm not requesting anything special in a ROM. My question was that if any of the bright developers have the knowledge to incorporate some of the emoticons into stock mms. Perhaps I should have stated emoji and not emoticons. The ones I'm referring to ARE the ones you find in GoSMS and Handcent, but it would be nice to just use the stock app instead of a 3rd party app to be able to get those. The ones those replying above are referring to basic emoticons (I know, I probably was asking for the wrong things) that can be type in using symbols. I too have been using GoSms and Handcent for the past 2 1/2 years and know that the Reply All feature in GoSMS will respond to all, but send out individual messages, thus breaking the conversation.
Maybe iPhone uses a code that isn't native to Android because I know those 2 platforms steal all they can from each other as it is.

By the way, where would YOU request features? There doesn't seem to be a dedicated forum for that and you're implying there is a place if this isn't it.

I don't personally because i know well what the devs go through to get a rom out and be proud of it just to hear 'well can you do this?'. The best place would be a specific roms Q/A thread, because if you post in general then lets say optimistically 3 rom developers add the feature for you, you are only going to use one rom, thus 2 of the devs just wasted their time.Also it is far easier to just get an app that does what you want instead of bloating up android with moogly eye faces. Android after all is extremely modular and is all just a collection of apps. so asking to 'build in' is really just modifying an app so you dont have to spend 30secs to download one. like i said, if gosms does what you want, download it. because being that bloaty isnt for everyone so its easier to just leave it stock and let users download what they want to add to their phones.

might also work better since you are looking for features that would not be phone specific.

Thanks for the link. I'll post my Reply All question over there and see if I get any responses.
Hi all
My son 13-year-old must submit his phone to me every night. Is there any software that I can read his SMS event if the SMS were deleted?
I will appreciate all your ideas and advices.
Here's an idea, give your son some privacy.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Even tho I agree you should give him privacy and build trust with him, I'll help you out.
You could get a app (not sure of name) that makes a nandroid of every thing (including SMS) and have it set on a timer to do so. So at a random point in the day it will backup everything in it and restore it quickly to see what's up, then unrestore. (Maybe titanium backup?)
If his phone is rooted you can easily do it with the app called undelete.
Im a parent I get it. But I think you're going to far and invading their privacy which will cause he or she to rebel big time once they find out...and make no mistake your kid will find out.

Protecting you child by giving him no privacy...
Besides if he wants to hind something from you he will, your options have been given, but then again he could prevent any of them if he wanted or just delete messages as soon as he has got them so at the most you get a couple
Hey guys, don't assume anything about the OP's reasons for asking the question.
Maybe his son has had bad habits or "friends" that no "real parents" would like their sons to ever meet.
He asked a technical question (giving the reason why and he could have just asked the question "as is", which would be my advice for any of such question in the future) and if you don't want to answer it because you think it's "bad", well, don't answer it, but please, keep your remarks for yourself.
If you want to discuss about parenthood and the like, there are forums dedicated to such subject. xda is a technical site, so let's keep it technical)
The nandroid backup is a good idea .
Another one
If your career allows you to get your messages, sms, mms, and even voice mail by email (in some unified messaging system or even with IMAP), you could use that. Usually, the messages are NOT deleted from the messaging server when they are deleted from the phone.
My own career provides such a service.
I think we are done here.
Thanks.
Anyone have a good method for auto-deleting old SMS on Lollipop? I'm currently using GO SMS on a custom rom and unfortunately the developers have chosen not to enable that feature. I've explored other text apps with similar feature sets (really only Chomp fits the bill) and they don't either.
I found a few other threads asking similar questions, and it didn’t seem like there was a satisfactory resolution in any of them. I also searched the Play Store for an app that would handle this, and I came up empty.
Is this a system limitation? How do you guys go about keeping your message counts in check so your SMS app doesn’t get really slow?
