Hi again, well so i successfully flashed the rom and its smooooothhh as butter. Except that when i try to compose a new message and type a contact in the recipient line, it looks as if it comes up blank box. At first i thought that maybe i had to import my contacts on to the phone it self rather then just on the sim card. When i tried again nothing changed but i touched the box that pops up this time when i write a contact and apparently the font works, it seems as if its white text on white back but i changed the background and its still invisible. So basically im just wondering if is this just me or does anyone else have this problem. Also i was curious if maybe there was something i could flash so i could have the original messaging app for the sidekick and not the android one. Much thanks for the help
I may have not really explained my problem so ill try and do it again; you know when your typing a new message and you want to, for example send it to your friend George, so you type G-e-o and basically a box appears under to try and auto complete what you were typing. Basically the box itself appears but the content inside is invisible

i used cm as a base for my rom RAGE 3.0.1 and i am noticing this as well, im going to look into a fix for this when i have time. It basically a white on white issue. If you touch and hold the contact area can you read it?
The Sidekick's stock messaging app is heavily integrated with the zipwip and t-mobile software that rom developers are desperate to rip out.
The answer in all cases is to use apk tools to get at some source code and make the neccessary changes yourself.

Yeah basically its a white on white and it shows up when highlighted. Also i ended up flashing the Cm merged V2.1 first to test it out.

Yeah i figured that original message app is much slower then android but i like it more for some reason and it lets me block people on texting haha. Do you think their is a easy "noob" way of getting it like with a apk download or zip flash already out?

Hey, not exactly sure about posting in the right sub forum but i have a little issue
i am currently using a CDMA Hero for Sprint and everything has been going well after fixing the battery issue with a different messaging app, but now a new little annoying issue has arised.
lately when i have opened my menu bar for all my apps i have been getting multiple icons for the same apps
Examples such as Bonsai Blast and Teeter have 2 icons right next to each other that are the same. They both work but its kinda annoying
also some of the applications names are incorrect. instead of ChompSMS its titles is now com.p1.chompsms along with Google Voice being voicemail.xxx... etc
i have tried searching the forums quite a bit and haven't quite found an answer for this issue and am not sure if it applies to the GSM version (thinking it might be a bug for Sense UI)
anyone have the same issue?
i have tried reinstalling the applications and rebooting and it still keeps happening. (not really wanting to hard reset...)
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!
you are not alone, yeah for i have two print voicemail apps one with a long com..... something same with google sky and google voice app its odd but hey hopefully we will get eclair soon
I don't think it is the Sense UI. I think it is Android. They show the long namsspace name for the application...and some apps show other weird names as well. It happens when you reboot the phone, at least for me. I think it has to do with the way the apps register themselves when the phone boots. Or it may be sloppy programming in the manifest files. Not sure.
Having the same issues. Google Sky will actually show up as the first application, and titled something with about an End User Agreement. When launched it pops up the EUA and only option is a force close.
Not sure what is causing it either.

I bet if you reboot your phone the issue will return though...try it!!!
If that IS the case, see my post in this CDMA forum about app versions reverting. what has happened is that your app, in this case google sky, has reverted to an initial version, without telling you.

I've confirmed that this app version reverting issue happens with at least 16 apps, not just the two Google apps you mention. I have a support question open with Google, so hopefully they can figure it out soon. It makes people think something else is wrong entirely.

I really think this now too,
so far i reinstalled Flixster Movies and Handcent SMS and when my phone reboots i get some different weird icon for both that are not the original ones.
also with the reboot, one of my original problems happens with the names of ChompSMS and Google Voice with their com.xxx.etc names
it has to be something changed on a reboot.

Mercado, would you mind also informing them that a reboot also is causing apps to revert to their older versions? I think the problems are related. Thanks!

Oops! Sorry for making it sound like I am in on the android developer work. It is way over my head. Just thought I'd share a link I'd stumbled across. If it's kosher, perhaps you might want to share the url to your version reverting bug with that group. Not sure how that works.
In any case, it does seem like this is all related (missing icons, duplicate icons, renamed shortcuts, version issues, etc.). Unfortunately, it so far HTC has not acknowledged their role in the matter. Hopefully as the bug reports add up, they'll do something about it. Or, maybe they'll simply release Android 2.0 with Sense built in.

Hey everyone.
Does the "feature" where the sms one pressed is selected after all the other sms's are loaded, suddenly interrupting the writing, ever bother you guys?
I wonder if it's possible, as per the image below, "move out" the reply button from the menu list as a shortcut.
My programming skills lack here but I'd gladly make a reply icon if any of you geniuses would be able to do this.

no its going to the message thread and you have to press on that box where you can type text before you can start with ur reply.. wich costs a tremendous ammount of time. *sarcastic mode*
I dont get the idea of fix behidn this?? Isnt that just moving the reply shortcut, it would still open the same messaging window loading all the messages still...?

Remember you have to take the version of your language ROM. [the .dll of that topic is for ENG version].
Very good idea I think I don't want in that hole conversation mode. It is slow and it takes time.

I don't really follow what you're talking about.
I am using the latest Messaging.
Let me try to explain again.
When one presses the actual message, the conversation mode comes up and the sms's start loading. As soon as all the sms's finish loading, the message you had pressed becomes highlighted.
If you are writing meanwhile the messages are loading, as soon as the messages finish loading you won't see what you're writing anymore.
I've tried Artemis v14 and it was the same there.
I don't think there is a ROM that doesn't have this "feature", but if there is, please enlighten me.
If it's still unclear I could try to make a video, but I am sure that the latest HTC Messaging does not solve this, since I am using the latest one.
This is why I want the reply button out there. When pressing the reply button, no sms will be highlighted and you can write your text easily.
It is not a matter of being lazy, as I saw someone else mention earlier, but if you encounter this I don't know, maybe 20-30 times a day I ensure you it will get to your nerves!
Let me repeat myself, the thing bugging me is not that it doesn't go directly to the reply box, but that when the text you just pressed becomes highlighted, you don't see what you write anymore!
I have a similar problem.
When replying to a SMS, the messaging client loades all SMS you have in your contact box [and lagged the client] and when it finished, the keyboard comes over the typing SMS. So you can't see what you were writing.
But I merely remember a ROM |WinMo 6.5] where the messages are in the same mail client, just like on WinMo 6.1 [where mail and SMS where in the same messaging client].

I deleted the linkify stuff with root explorer and now youtube runs as an app and phone number links bring up the dialer. If you don't want to pay for RE, try Estrong File Manager, but it's root access is a bit tricky to figure out...you need to go into the settings to enable each time, I found.

I can't help you fix the issue. But as for your last question... HTC was forced to remove it due to Apple patent litigation.

I am wondering the same thing. There are obviously more threads related to HTClinkifydispatcher, and the build.prop changes that are supposed to return functionality that HTC removed to comply with Apple patent requirements. However, this is what I have found. I am able to click links, Youtube links, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses in emails, texts, etc. from my bone stock Evo LTE. However, these links will only launch in the default application selected in the HTC App Association Settings menu. After rooting and making changes to build.prop (using Build Prop Editor eliminates issues with multiple entries of the same property), I am able to get selection option menus for certain linkable items. For example, Youtube links give options for browsers, or Youtube app. Email addresses, let me choose to send email using any of the email accounts I have set-up. HTML links let me choose between stock browser or Chrome. And addreses let me select to open in browsers or Google Maps. However, clicking on a phone number simply launches the phone dialer (just like stock), and does not give me the option to send a text message. Also, email addresses and phone numbers do not give an option to add a contact.
I have discovered that options are only provided if there are options that can be selected in the app associations menu. For example, the options I have in the app associations menu match exactly with the options I am presented when clicking linkable data as per above. However, if the app associations menu does not have options (in my menu the only association I can make to phone numbers is to the phone dialer) then the default (only) option will be launched when that data is selected. Does anyone else have send SMS or MMS text message as an option for phone numbers in the app association menu, or when clicking phone numbers in text after making the build.prop changes?
I think these workarounds are close, but IMHO we still do not have the true functionality that was removed due to the apple patent.
Hello, I am running CleanRom 5.6 on my verizon galaxy sIII and everything is working great. However I have one problem. The stock message app works great but it does not allow for group test message to show up on one message i.e. you get individual message instead of getting one single message. I solved this by installing go sms pro or handcent. NOw the problem that I am having is that when people send me a .gif image file I can see the picture but it is not moving. I have tried opening under the stock text app, go sms pro, and handcent but no one them work. At have had it working a few time but the majority of times it does not work i.e. the image does not move. I have searched online a lot but there is no one consensus on how to fix this problem. I hope someone know what I am talking about and can help me because I am not the only one who is having the problem. Thank you.
p.s. I do not know whether the problem is being caused by an iphone user sending the .gif file or whether that does not matter.

And when i switch accounts, go on second one and come back again on my main account, that black empty space is gone and finally my story appear in fully original size. And that stay only until im there in app. When i exit once than need again to switch accounts until black space remove. But because its anoying to do that everytime when i wish to add something on my story, i want to ask you guys does anyone of you have same problem like i have and does anyone have solution for solve this problem? I tried with reinstall app, restart phone, tried different versions(btw my current version is 179.0.0.26.132 bcs that is last perfect version for me and on newer version whole application is smaller and dont show on full size screen and that really pissed me off when looks like i look in old Sony Xperia z5), tried with change resolution but nothing help. You all guys can see clearly what is problem on video below. If anyone have any suggestion or know how to solve this anoying problem, please write below. Thanks
