click on the picture should enlarge it.

Come on man I realize that. I was just hoping there was a way to remove the play button from a picture. I could understand it being there on a video but not a pic.

LOL its cool. it really doesnt bug me. well no it doesnt lol i mean i still have to click it to make enlarge.

This problem plagues tons of android 2.2.x devices...captivate and atrix included. They located the problem and patched it in CM7 for SGS. When we get it ported, the problem will go away.

Does anyone have problems receiving MMS pictures from iPhone users?? I tend to get a long message saying "one or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal."
I used to get a similar message on the Atrix. Why the hell does this happen??

Not an Android issue, it's AT&T wanting to give you a "multimedia experience" which annoys the hell out of me. Once the ROMs come out, it'll be gone. It was the same with the HTC Aria, Samsung Captivate, and HTC Inspire 4G... With my last phone, Inspire 4G, any rom applied broke the play-button thing, so photos just showed up like on normal phones.
Why must AT&T try to get their hands all over everything? It's so annoying.

First thing I did when I got my phone was delete the stock samsung mms app and replace it with the stock aosp mms app
I use SUFBS but root explorer does the same....

This would be an epic milestone If this was baked into CM. I am so tired of using the Verizon version of SMS due to the fact it is so fugly!!! I've tried all of the third party SMS apps available and Verizon's works almost perfectly but it really is ugly.
I am surprised Google hasn't addressed this short coming with its own SMS app.
Please keep this alive!!!

What third party app do you guys suggest?

I am a big fan of Groupme. You can use the app, have messages text to you, or use the web client. The only bad thing is you kind of have to get everyone you want to message on board.

How can I learn how to port that galaxy nexus AOSP messaging app to sgs3?

Group messaging

I can not respond to group text messages. This is pretty annoying when everyone else seems to be able to. I am using the stock sms client, is this the case, or am I missing something?
If there is nothing else I can do short of downloading a new app, anyone have any recommendations?

just updated to stock ics, rooted and removed the bloat.
But I experienced the same problem with dk and the jedi mind trick rom. Have always had this problem even before flashing roms.

How do TouchWiz users cope with NO group texting?

One thing that kills me about stock touchwiz is the lack of group texting. I don't want to switch to a 3rd party SMS app, but I am thinking that is what I have to eventually do.

Im sure there is a way to load TW messenger to work on other roms. But how many people actually continue to have group conversations thru text?

Group texting like send one text to multiple people? I do it all the time even with mms's

I wish stock mms had the capability, but it's not a huge deal to me because Verizon messages works very well. You can even disable stock and Verizon messages will still work.

Ya Im confused too, touchwiz mms allows you to send to multiple people. I guess they mean keeping it all grouped cause the touchwiz one replies all come in to seperate threads?
If your rooted you can switch out the stock mms app for a aosp one, i.e. themed and stock

it isnt really "coping" when I have never wanted to group text. facebook tells all my friends what i want them to know about...

It drives me nuts when I get those group texts from iPhone users. I love how android does it, separate threads

Thank you. One iPhone user sends you a group text and then you gotta get bugged by every other iPhone user replying to the original sender. One of the most annoying things in the world. Sad thing is, they think it's cool.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app

I guess it's handy to the sender. I assume they haven't been on the other end though.
Is it even in option on a "stock" android phone. I've had moto, htc and now Samsung, I don't ever remember it being an option.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I can't stand the stock msg app. GoSMS Pro is so much better imo.
tap'n

It separates the threads to each individual who responds. So if the group is 6 people, I get 6 different texts from 6 different people. HTC never had this problem! Coming from the rezound. Lol

It is standard now on aosp 4.2. I used to think it was annoying, but now after using it with friends, I see why it is useful personally.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

It is honestly driving my crazy! I HATE tw does not support this and it is really annoying. A lot of my friends use group messaging and If i were to reply to the messages being sent I would have to reply to each individual person seeing how group messages appear in separate threads for me.

I dont think those links really help. From my understanding the framework has to be changed and it is only fixed in android 4.2 anyways so im not sure those links are to helpful sadly =(

Use a different messaging app if you don't like the stock.

Ok I have a question. I tried using GOSMS and When I tested out the group messaging feature my friends had told me that they had gotten the message as an individual message towards them and that it did not appear to them as a proper group message. Is there a certain feature inside gosms that you have to have checked in order to get this to work properly?

Well yes I have and I honestly could not spot a thing about group messaging. I could of easily missed something seeing how I tend to do that at times but I checked several times and still was un able to find a setting related to it.

[Q] SMS AOSP App?

So... I just got the Nexus 5 a couple of days ago. I love the phone.
But... I really do not like Hangouts. I use WhatsApp, and sometimes SMS. But I do not like Hangouts for SMS. Is there a way to install the SMS app from the Nexus 4? Like a AOSP version? If so... where can I find the app?
Thanks.

I use 8sms. It looks like the AOSP SMS app but adds a couple nice features, like the option for a popup when you receive a SMS. I set it as default messaging app and it works perfectly.

I built Mms.apk from aosp 4.4.2 today because I don't want to use Hangouts. I don't have carrier service so I'm not sure it will even work properly. If someone could test it that would be very cool. And maybe you'll get the app you're looking for.

Here's the MMS.apk from Purity Rom, it has more options like full timestamps and quick reply.

I think 8Sms is a better idea than using the messaging app compiled from source, because 8sms is the same thing, but constant bug fixes that are released through Google Play...which I find better.

works in nexus 5 kk 4.4.4
