I have searched and didn't see this anywhere.
MMS pics only stay on screen for 5 seconds and then the screen goes blank. I just flashed to 2.3.6 and this started happening. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix out there? It is annoying.
Hi Tytan0007. We have a Q & A section for questions.
What 2.3.6 did you flash? Stock? Vahlalla Black?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

Moving to Q&A
Sorry, about the wrong forum. I flashed stock 2.3.6

I assume you adjusted the "Screen timeout' in settings already? If so, did you do a factory wipe and fresh install of the stock ROM?
I did adjust it. The whole screen doesnt go dark....just the picture after viewing it for 5.secs...I wiped everything when I flashed.

I haven't been on stock or used stock messaging in a long time. You could try a third party sms/mms app like GoSMS Pro - which is what I use - to start. You may try a reflashing the ROM with a factory reset. You can try flashing Raver's Valhalla Black.
Or you can hang on and see if somebody else steps in to help

I would try this. If your mms/sms works using GOsms then it would suggest the stock app is having a issue. I seen something similar on another phone. The user couldnt get sms/mms until he installed GOsms. Then mysteriously the stock app started to work.
Not a fan of third part msging for privavy reasons so I will not be downloading any 3rd party. Maybe a refresh will work. Thanks for your help.

I suggest this only because it could jumpstart the stock app. The person I referenced went three months without mms/sms through several updates.
But let me get this straight..you will install a custom rom but third party messaging app is a nogo. Ok.
I installed stock 2.3.6...nothing custom on it. However, I did try handscent and although it did not fix the stock app I like how it works so I guess I threw my privacy thing out the window there. Thanks for the help anyway!

If you like Handscent... give goSMSPro a run. I have tried both and liked the latter much more.

So you are able to view the messages longer than the original 5 seconds?
And I guess I missed you said you were on the stock 2.3.6, my bad.
I understand the concern for privacy. But I think with the thousands of users of most sms apps at some point somebody would have found a security flaw in them. So you should be pretty safe.
One more thing if you really want to use the stock one. Redownload the stock rom unzip it and find the stock messaging apk. You can then push it to your phone via adb or a file manager that has root privileges.

You're welcome. You can apply themes to gosms as well.
Stock messaging is separate from the mms. If gosms is working and you like it, it beats the hell out of stock.

just a FYI the SGS tools app which allows you to replace your tw launcher, email, contacts, and gallery app works for our sgs 4G. i have tried em all (upgrade stock apps) and can confirm they are all working. If you want to go back the scripts dont work, but you just need to move the stock apk back from sd>sgstools>xxx.apk into system>app> using root explorer or similar... and it will revert. also the boot up/down sounds can be disabled through the app

If I had to guess the email app on there that is made for the tab will get really buggy when used with exchange. Crazy thing is, it takes a few days to show up. You may have better luck on this device. But my vibrant didn't like it..
Lastly, make back ups of the apps your gonna try and switch using this app. Easiest way titanium backup. That way you get your app back that's optimized for 2.2.1.
Might not make a difference. But never hurts to put a back up on your external

My problemw with titianium backup is that it dosn't actually backup the system apps, just it's data
I just tried to use my FFC after the camera hack & it does not work anymore, it says camera failed. I tried to restore from Titanium and copied the .apk from the sgstool back up with no luck.
Anyone else having the same issue? I just flashed the Krylon's stock + root rom and did a factory reset but the issue is still there. Do you think I can pull the files from a system dump to remedy?

Try flashing the deodexed version 1.9.. when Odin reboots you into factory recovery do the factory reset. And then reboot.

Thanks Aloneinshadow, but I had the dump from a previous post. I pushed datapattern_420sp.yuv & datapattern_front_420sp.yuv to /system/cameradata along with restoring camera.apk & camerafirmware.apk to /system/app and rebooted with no luck. BUT when I ran Tango and used the FFC it worked and fixed my issue. I do not know why but its fixed now. Im never going to use SGSTools again unless its made for KB5.

Ok thank God I was able to revert my camera back, the hacked camera didn't allow me to record videos. Quick question, why is it that our phones don't have autofocus for video recording but all over YouTube there are vibrants that have it?

Here you go, Hope this helps
you can also use SGS tools samsung galaxy Tab email.apk replacement. it works too.
For those of you who want to change your email app or have already done so and are getting force closes. You need to go into TiBu and wipe data for email and email account info, then uninstall whatever email you have or is not working, reboot phone (this will essentially erase any evidence of an email app) then install the email you want to use whether it be the Infuse stock email, G Tab email or a captivate email per say.....i myself am using the email app from Mikeymike01's Serendipty rom, which is the best in my opinion...

What do you mean by "install"? I don't think you can sideload install this app. It would have to be a push to /system/app or a manual copy/paste to /system/app using a root file explorer.

Steps to reproduce missing mms.apk for Valhalla black 1.5:
Prior to flash:
Valhalla black
Cwm patch 1
Kj6 beta 1.0 kernel
Zeam launcher
Tw was installed, but not default
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash rc1.5 zip
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Reboot
Messaging app missing
I will be restoring from titanium backup, but wanted to post bug so it can be seen and possibly duplicated
Edit: data from messaging was retained (sms history, preferences), and was visible after restoring app only from titanium. Not totally unexpected for me, but a little surprised that didn't go away with cache wipes.

The issue is the mms.apk Raver used was based on my transparent mms apk, which was based on KI3, and for some reason just wasnt playing nice with a lot of different launchers.
I made an updated one on KJ6, this should fix any problems. It worked fine on my device, then again so did the KI3 based one, but try flashing this one.
(this one is only semi transparent, as I left the listview bg black, but its still slick lol)

The thing is that the instructions for the rom recommend you do a factory reset. I've actually been wondering too what causes it since I did do a factory reset and had to flash the apk myself. I use go sms but I still wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

I've found that if I did a factory reset before flashing OR if I flash any version of Valhalla Black over the top of an earlier version without a factory reset the apk is missing. However, If I flash any version of Valhalla Black over Valhalla final without a factory reset the apk is there. I try to avoid doing that since I seem to have had a better overall experience just pushing the apk itself from Valhalla Final to Black. Either way, It's an amazing ROM, just an extra step of adding the MMS. No big deal. And I think I've tried working with almost every launcher out there with the same results. /shrug
Hi everyone, today I was updating my SKY ICS 4.2E ROM with the latest update, I followed all the steps (it's been a while since Im doing this) and finished, I assumed everything went fine and continued using my phone. later i found out that the MMS.apk was missing and tried to reinstall it but never could. I also tried reinstalling the update but it didn't worked. so here Im asking for a little help, Thanks in advance.

Messaging isn't in Gapps.
OP, SkyICS uses Samsung's messaging apk so your best bet is going to be to re-install the base. I am attaching the MMS.apk from the SkyICS base, so you can try dropping that in \system\apps\; don't forget to change the permissions.
Thanks, I did that but it didn't worked either, but went to the play store and looked for the ICS message app and installed ;D it was that simple all the time, thanks everybody.
Before you reflash
Go to settings-> Applications-> all -> and scroll ALL THE WAY to the end of the list. See if it is disabled.
This happened on mine, just renable and was good to go.

I've had notification issues with that app; double-check that you're getting all your text notifications before you close the book on this. Otherwise, great app if you prefer the AOSP look, which I do.
It looks good, actually I don't mind how it looks as long as it works. thanks for the help everybody.

You might have to enable data to receive and send mms. This is a problem for me and doing this solves it. Then if you don't have a data plan just disable it after.

Alright so I installed go SMS. It received a picture just fine.. maybe its just the stock app? Which I would prefer to use over go SMS.
Maybe you could use the stock messaging apk from another ROM?
Ok so deleted go SMS.. now when someone sends a mms I get a fc.. something something.mms? Went into msg app and it fails to download again.
Would it be possible to unzip another miui rom and just install the message app apk?
Can't hurt to try!
No go. Problem parsing the package.

As far as pulling a stock sms app from another cm7 based miui, it causes forcecloses. SMS app doesnt even open after installing the .apk.
As far as the APN settings, ive googled and searched, and everything ive tried is still a no go. Used an app from the store called Twweaker? Sets the APN for you, still no go.
Weird.
