Stock mms.apk, mod to split long messages? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am totally stumped here. I have spent the last 4 hours trying to modify stock Mms.apk to ONLY allow 160+ char split messages (but remain otherwise stock). There are other apk's available that fix the split, but they all combine other visual/theme mods... and I like the stock app just the way it is (other than the lack of split).
I don't know what I'm doing, obviously. Mostly I've tried modifying the mms_config.xml file, and the setting I have says it should be working... but it's not. :-( Any tips?
Just for test, I've set:
enableMultipartSMS true
maxMessageTextSize -1
smsToMmsTextThreshold 4
maxMessageSize 307200
(these appear to be the same settings used in the MIUI mms app that work properly there, but not for me!) :-(
Now I am able to send a message over 160char, and it DOES split it into multiple messages, however each message is still gibberish. Aggh... this is driving me crazy.

This gives you the OPTION for visual themes, you can disable/enable the black background; gives a few other options.. but this is pretty much a stock APK to fix the splitting issue

I would try that out, but your post says Deodexed ROM is required, and I'm running Odexed.
Plus I still want to get to the bottom of how to modify the stock mms.apk. :-/

No ideas? Still stumped here.

Bump. Also want to know this.

[Q] [REQ] Gingerbread Dialer/Contacts APK?

This might be a kind of noob-ish request, but I'm trying to avoid rooting (I know, I know) and wondered if there was a way to port over the dialer-contacts in APK form from 2.3.
I would appreciate any help/guidance.
Did anything change in the dialer between Froyo and Gingerbread?

Be careful. Make a backup of the original apks first (or a full nandroid backup) . if they don't work, they're likely to cause the system to crash-loop (continuous FCs). Happened too me when trying a moded phone.apk before.
Aren't the dialers the same, I didn't notice any differences apart from the look, from froyo and now on gingerbread

Thanks for the fast response, but I'm getting a parse error trying to install the APKs.
To everyone else: I'm mostly trying to get something more like AOSP over the stock HTC stuff, and most of what I've found on here is stuff designed to flash on top of ROMs for rooted phones.

[Q] Stock calendar apk

Hello all. I appreciate all of the custom roms out there. I agree withe the fact that the touchwiz ui uses garish colors, but the additions actually tend to improve on android's functionality, unlike other skins lime motoblur. Does anyone have a copy of the stock calendar apk. It seems that gummy rom got rid of it and all the roms based on gummy don't have it. I would really appreciate it.
I would like it as well. Would some one be kind enough to post it and tell how to install it?
I like the stock calendar as well.

Devs haven't ported lockscreens over... We've had Gingerbread less than a week!
I think nopcodex90 was working on some lockscreen porting.
There are very few mods out there for the Gingerbread releases due to how short of a time we've had it. We got good dumps last Wednesday and didn't get custom kernels compiling/building until Fri/Sat.
oh okay that's cool. thanks!
Just use Widgetlocker, it's a great lockscreen replacement. (And it can look like Infused 1.5)
Widgetlocker or GOTO Lockscreen are good replacements.
Widgetlocker has more customization, but GOTO looks damn good. lol
First of all, stop with the Qs on the dev thread.

Infused 1.5 used the AOSP lock screen, correct? (I tried looking in the topic for it but didn't see it mentioned)
If so, because gtg is slow and tried hijacking my Sensation in my other thread, I added it for you guys: http://www.mediafire.com/?sci0nxexducdrjs
Since CWM is still messed up, this is just a plain old ordinary file. To install it, copy the file (android.policy.jar) and place it in /system/framework, replacing the one that is already in there. Then change the permissions to 0644 (everyone has read access, and only owner has write access. All other checkboxes are left blank). Then reboot and you should get the AOSP lockscreen.
Also, please back up your current android.policy.jar. I am not running Infused 2.0 so I have not tested this, however I just made the exact same changes to my ROM about 20 minutes ago and this worked, so there shouldn't be any problems, but it is still a good idea to back it up anyways in case there is.
alright thanks a lot i'll try that.

[Q]LCD density

Hey is this working for us any tricks etc If I change to 260 just gives me a blank screen? Using CM10.
Works on all ROM's but jelly bean at the moment, and I'm not sure why. Try editing the system file manually and see if it gives you the same problem. I'm running 240 DPI on all my ROM's because the screen looks much better to me that way, but when I flashed jelly bean and tried it didn't work for some reason.
With a quick google search I found the solution. The other apps are outdated. Use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marutian.dpichanger&feature=search_result I will flash CM10 now that I can change the DPI!! Don't worry about the foreign language preview, it runs in english.

I'm getting awesome life with the cm10 don't think I'll go back to cm9:good:
Somebody edited the framework apk and got the lockscreen to be centered. However this was on the galaxy note, I don't know if it'll work on our phones. Flash at your own risk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30121522&postcount=546 Worst case scenario will be reflash the ROM, or restore to a backup.
Or you can download HOLO locker.. up to you.

AOSP/AOKP MMS.apk with Quick Reply Working on Touchwiz based ROMs!!!

Stumbled upon this recent discovery and just wanted to share the wealth! I extracted the MMS.apk from AOKP build 4 to see if it would work with Touchwiz and it does! Quick reply in the notifications window and all. Install it like any other system app; you'll need to be rooted and have a root explorer:
1. Download MMS.apk from below
2. Move to SD Card
3. ***Backup Touchwiz Messaging App "SecMMS.apk"*** by renaming the file to "SecMMS.apk.bak"
4. Move the downloaded MMS.apk to system/app
5. Fix Permissions to rw-r-r
6. Reboot
7. Hit your dougie or other victory dance of your choosing
I've attached screenshots to show that this is indeed working. The ROM I tried it on is incubus' JellyWiz RLS7 but it should work on any rom. I'm not responsible if you brick your phone or mess up your messaging app but it's pretty straight forward! If you're scared, go to church... or just nandroid :silly:
This is my first "helpful" post so if it's in the wrong section or if I've done something else that may cause WWIII than just let me know and I will fix it. I didn't see any other threads like this one though!
Edit: Didn't test thoroughly enough and as other users have pointed out, it FC's when trying to send or receive a picture message. Still, for someone who likes the quick reply, emoji, look and feel of AOSP, I think that it's a small price to pay. Also, this will ONLY work on Jelly Bean Roms!
Thanks

Where you able to send a pic message
Edit: FC when trying to send a mms
You should probably add that this will only work on jellybean based roms.
Edit: i'd like to point out that this isn't the most recent version of CM's messaging app. It's missing a lot of the things that they added.

it crashes when you send or recieve mms
Would love to have this though! Its a start...
I've been trying to get this to work since the day I bought the phone. I was using (and still am on my work phone) an inverted AOSP MMS.apk that I just absolutely dig. I was sad when it didn't work on Touchwiz ROMS.
I dug a bit deeper. I got to where you guys were at, I managed to get it to install on a JB TW ROM but it crashed on MMS, just as you all are experiencing. I dug deeper.
I next tried a logcat to see if I could sniff out the issue. Nothing was glaringly obvious as being the issue. I even went so far as to Pastebin it for a well known dev on here, and he pointed it to it being the Gallery as being the issue. Since it's an AOSP app, it was probably looking for an AOSP Gallery. So I tried that. I replaced the TW Gallery with the AOSP Gallery. Still, nothing. The dev hasn't had time to really help me out since, he's a pretty busy guy and isn't even supporting the device, he was more helping me since we're more friends than anything else.
I'm going to see if I can get ahold of another dev on here and see if he can spare some time to help. Problem is, he doesn't have this phone, but I do believe he has a Galaxy Note, or the Skyrocket. I PM'd a few devs supporting our phone with ROM's to ask if they could help, and I didn't receive a response. If anyone knows anyone who can help, I'd be glad to pass along what I have.
I would REALLY like to get this working on TW ROM's. I'd settle for the old school AOSP inverted one I'm using, but the CM/AOKP one is probably pretty similar.
I managed to get an ICS, AKA non Quick Reply version, working with TW builds. Should work with any ICS/JB builds. The file is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921429
