[Q] Programmatically add new MMS - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi!
I am working on a solution to import MMS from other devices to android (because I haven't found a working one yet). Is there a way offered by the SDK to programmatically add MMS that even works on not rooted devices?
Thanks in advance!

It should work, as there are sms backup programs. I think both sms & mms uses a simple Provider. You should read that section of the developer site. If I'm right you'll be able to add mms as you would add a new contact from your app, and it doesn't need root.

MMS question

team,
are we really SOL on the native mms application that was around for the longest time for the HD2 i've been reading about and installed a rom without htc messaging but the mms portion is sorely missing. are there roms with mms included, what are my options? i tried to download arcsoft and I did but i cant find it on my phone! i am currently using freyberrys premium no messaging rom! help! please
i figured it out!
i kept reading about arc soft over and over again and i found a thread that offered the wvga version and voila! yes i have escaped htc messaging
jumps up and down!
if anyone reads this i have a new problem
ok so i installed freyberrys premium no htc messaging rom then i installed the arcsoft wvga mms cab from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624375
although i can open mms up now it wont send at all, is it because it was intended for a spring mogul? do i have to adjust something to get att mms settings? please help!

Android Messages .apk???

Does anyone know where I can find the stock messages .apk (from 2.2 or 2.1)? I really prefer it over any of the market ones and definitely over the Sense messages application.
Send a pm to darchdroid, over in the cdma hero development. He created an aosp Rom, and may be able to give you the apk. Or check the nexus 1 forums, if there is a diff between the apps for low and high res devices.

I prefer it to Handcent and HTC's version. If you find one please post it here!
Me too! Please post if you find it. I'd like to see if it works better do connecting to my work's exchange server. HTC's app doesn't work, but I tried with the default mail app in the 2.1 emulator and the stock app works.
Actually, is the messages apk the email app too or is that just for sms?
Thanks,
Nick

Just SMS...
What I hate about the HTC Sense messaging application, is that it's dumb. It tries to send SMS from any phone in the contact list. It doesn't go to the 'mobile' by default. I was trying to send an SMS, and it choose the 'office" land line of my contact to send the text. I was trying to find a way to set the 'mobile' phone as default for messaging, but couldn't find the setting.
anyone have this? i'm looking for it as well.
I hope some good soul will upload this. I'm looking for this as well. I really hate that the htc sense messaging app does not have an auto delete feature. This is included in the vanilla message app of 2.1. It's not really hard to delete old messages every now and then but having it automatically done brings make things easier. heck, even wildfire's htc sense messaging app has this!

Receiving vCard on Android

I am having difficulty viewing a vcard received via text message. My phone recognizes it's an MMS but views it as a Multimedia file and tries to play it.
My phone (EVO) is rooted running Cyanogen 7.0.1.2 and I'm using the builtin messaging app. I don't want to use handcent or an alternative messaging app.
I have taken a screenshot of what I'm experiencing
There doesn't seem to be a solution to this..
android cant get vcard i think.
someonew please build a fix or hack for it ...
its been too long that noone could solve it
vCard
That's not true Miui can send and receive vCards and I have used other roms including those based on Cm10 that could do the same I think you need a modded mms.apk Easiest would be to use Miui.

iam saying about vcard sent as sms (not mms)
when my friends sent vcard as sms b y their nokia,sony etc i dont even receive that sms in my mobile .
and thee no option to sent sms either ...
is there any solution for this ?
go sms
Have you tried Go sms or Handcent?
yaa i had tried both but no use
I've been searching forever for an app that will handle Vcards sent to my S3 via a Blackberry or iPhone. The MMS comes in blank on my text app (8ms messsaging) or even stock messaging app, but there's no way to view the vcard attachment.
Enter "Save MMS Attachemtns" app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobappli.savemms
Opening it brings up a list of all of your MMS messages within your text threads. The interface isn't very advanced and I haven't played with it enough to be able to select just one MMS, but regardless...clicking save will export all MMS to a folder on your phone entitled "SaveMMS"
From there, you'll need to delete the extra extension text after ".vcf"
Now click on it to open with your vcard handler app. I use DW Dialer as it's way better than stock Google dialer. It takes 8 seconds to respond after clicking, but it will import to your contacts.
This is far from an elegant fix, but if you receive vcards for work like me, you need something that will work, no matter how involved.
If anyone has a better way, let us know but a big thanks to the dev for writing this.
Hi guys.
I've been working on vCards on Android for few years. If you wanna check my app bizCard Manager. It supports sending and receiving (importing) MMS vCards too.
But to be honest, many current davices has MMS vCards suport built in nowdays.

Call/msg blockers

Hi I am looking for a call/msg blocking/hiding app. I am specifically looking for one which HIDES MMS msges. I have tried several from android market but once you've actually brought them you find that MMS support is temporarily unavailable, or it deletes the MMS or the attachment.
If anyone knows of an app that actually hides MMS msges as well as the usual call blocking functions I'd love to here from you.
Many Thanks

"Easy Filter Call Blocker & SMS" is an option. Check it
Thanks...doesn't appear to support MMS msges though

[Q] Mango MMS and User Agent Settings?

Hi, all.
I purchased a factory unlocked HTC Radar for my wife.
We happen to be using a carrier that requires specific MMS gateway settings, as well as certain user agent settings for the MMS client.
Autoconfigure seems to be working for things like voice and data, but I'm unsure if it is correctly pointing to the MMS gateway that is necessary. I'm wondering if there's a way to check what MMS settings the phone is using.
Furthermore, I'm trying to figure out a way to change the user agent. Apparently this carrier checks for user agents for sending (and maybe receiving? I can get MMS though...) MMS.
Any help or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi,
I'm interesting to know how to change MMS User agent on mango too.
You could try HTC connection setup from the market (using my tmous hd7 on simple mobile and works fine). Or if the settings your looking to change is within registry try diagprovxml which can be downloaded on xda. Same thing basically except HTC connection setup has the settings built in to it. Just open connection setup and tap the "..." at the bottom and choose manual select.

htc connection did not resolve the problem. I have diagprovxml but i don't know what key put inside or change whit it. i need to change user agent of MMS to solve that.
Try to find out the reg edits needed for windows mobile... Alot of those registry parts are the same but use a registry editor on device to double check existance of those keys before changing registry with diagprovxml though.

I just got changed the MMS settings on my WP7.
Following my directions in thread 20634899 post #43. Make sure to read the whole thread as well as it gives some insight on the files you can use.
