[Q] Looking for custom MMS app - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys I am currently using Clean Rom 3.0 and looking for a better MMS app for my Galaxy S 3. I heard of custom mms apps that have quick reply in them and curious if anyone knows where I can find one. Thanks.

Really?? Do you know how to use the market at all? How to search and download apps? Or did you just want someone to spoonfeed you?
Here comes the airplane, weeeooww(airplane noise), open up! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gosms
That's probably going to be your best free solution. Has quick reply and a ton of theming. Another choice might be handcent, tho I don't remember being impressed with it on my Droid X.
Sorry if I sound like a jerk, I just see a TON of people not use the search option on here at all or even the market.

Brian Gove...wow lol but I understand your energetic response.

You may be unfamiliar with Android but usually there is an app in the Play Store that can do whatever you want whereas in iOS that may not always be the case. Need a new gallery app? Search the Play Store. Need a file manager? Search the Play Store. Need a calendar app? Search the Play Store. You should get my point now.

Handcent is the best hands down IMHO

I would agree with Handcent unless you use group messaging, then your going to want GoSMS. I wish SOMEONE would release a non bloated app with group messaging that does not suck

I guess I should have given more details to my question, yes thanks for the replies and no I dont need to be spoon fed lol I have used all of those sms apps but I was wondering if anyone knew of a a custom mms app like the stock one that had quick reply built in. I remember seeing something about one but dont remember. Thanks anyways guys.

Sorry for earlier, I was at the library dealing with retards. You're looking for a mod then? Like CM10's mod to the messaging?

Yeah that may be the one have you used that Rom yet and if so is it good I am using clean Rom at the moment and it seems good so far? Thanks

CM10 is pretty good, I'd still be running it now but I was having issues with battery life. I'd lose about 15-17% or so overnight with my phone in deep sleep. I'm on AOKP now and stop far it's better on my batt with the majority of the same features, more even. It does have the sms mod too.

Paranoid Android has the same features too, as do the majority of AOSP roms. I personally like PA and Liquid Smooth, and on my phone PA is the more stable of the 2. I for some reason just didn't like CM10, even though that's what PA and Liquid are based off of..... anyway, the jist of it is you ought to just test em all out, cause what's stable for one person may be extremely unstable for another.

You can try a AOSP mms apk that will work fine on a touchwiz setup, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921429 Ive ran it before, works fine.

Turns or I was wrong, AOKP doesn't have the popup, but neither does this one. It did give me an idea to which seemed to work for me. I just extracted the mms.apk file from a CM10 nightly and installed it.
I'll Dropbox it in a minute since Tapatalk doesn't let you attach anything except pictures.
Use a root browser and find system/apps/mms.apk (or secmms.apk if you're on TW) and rename it with a .bak on the end. Put the new file in the same place and make sure it's got the she permissions. Reboot and you should be golden.

Wow thanks so much for the help this is indeed exactly what I was looking for!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

I installed it but is keeps saying messaging has stopped will I keep the name Mms or change it to SecMms.apk which is what my original was named also what was the she permissions you were talking about thanks?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

You will re-name it to whatever was originally in that folder. I believe all AOSP ROMs it is called Mms.apk and Touchwiz is SecMms.apk.
Far as the permissions, which it sounds like what might be causing your problem, depending on the root browser you are using(I use the one in ROM Toolbox) the format of the permissions you will want it to have are either "rw-r--r--" or "read" for 'Owner', 'Group' and 'Others' then "write" for 'Owner' only and "execute" for none. Or the final format would be 0644
Those are the three different ways that permissions are displayed.
---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------
I was just thinking, if the whole permissions thing is still confusing after my last post there, I might have thought of something that will do it for you fairly simply.
Replace the apk file as mentioned. Reboot. Then reboot again, into recovery tho. Then go to advanced and click on fix permissions.
A) Not sure 100% if this will work, B) the two reboots may be unnecessary, you may be able to replace and reboot directly into recovery and have it work.

Thanks man ill give it a shot.

Sounds like paranoid should have it.
What ROM are you trying this on? What file browser are you using? And what steps exactly are you taking that's giving you the errors?

I am using cleanrom 3.0 and esfile as my file manager. I first add. Bak to the original SecMms.apk. Apk and then add the file you gave me and renamed it to SecMms.apk and reboot, the permissions are the same as my original message app. Once the phone boots back up it will get to the loading conversations screen then it tells me that is has stopped working or something like that I am lost and thanks for the help.

[REQ] AOSP ICS MMS apk

Nothing pains me more than the lag in the stock ICS messaging app when you hit send. The stupid animation doesn't look fluid, and it doesn't initiate at the right time.
I've been searching all over for an AOSP messaging app that will work with our leak, and I've found one that actually installs into /system/ but whenever you open a conversation it FC's.
I found it in the Galaxy s II app forum. Anyone know what we can do to get it up and running on our ROM? I've tried this on odexed and deodexed systems by the way.
Feel free to post your experience if you try to use it!
On a side note, I also tried the app that's in the market with ads, and it FC's the same way as well.

Let me see what I can do. Will update soon.
Any way I could get GB MMS/SMS app on ICS? I liked that it was black, not white, and obvious the forceclose issue (for me at least)
Would like the AOSP version but would be happy with the old GB version too.
How are people theming the stock TW mms.apk? I keep trying to decompiling, even with dependencies, and it's giving me a bad magic value error and won't decompile. Trying to compare the SR mms.apk to the AOSP one to see if I can make some edits to prevent the FC.

ahaha do you guys wanna know why? because samsung has changed "hex" code in their files meaning anytime when you decompile you'll get "bad magic value" lol. way around that is download apktool 2.0.0 then use 7zip manager and extract the classes.hex and then decompile with apktool not apk manager. and you're good. thank me if it helped which i know it will
Really hope that gets it working, looking forward to it!

For those decompiling system apps, you need to update adapt.bat with the latest copy from the android sdk and add the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk resources to your apktool framework.
Copy the two apk files to your apktool folder. Then run 'apktool if framework-res.apk' and then 'apktool if twframework-res.apk' from a command line. You should be able to decompile after that.
If you're using APK Manager, your apktool script and aapt.bat is located in the apk_manager/other folder.
I've been able to decompile without problems. It's compiling that is giving me problems right now.

Just started using it, I like it so far, loads of custom options!
Issue found in system Setting, selecting List of apps.
1. Select Paranoid Settings
2. Scroll to List of Apps.
3. Select List of apps.
I am receiving a, Unfortunately , Settings has stopped message.
Have also received the same message when Selecting Data Usage.
Also what is the best logcat app to use?
Also running the tablet configuration as "small" there is an UI fail message.
@mguelph use alogcat from play store
The data usage is a cm9 issue but the app listing in paranoid settings would be a porting issue

which is somewhat odd, because when I first installed and ran the 2nd CM9 release independent from AOKP or Paranoid, I had no system menu issues, so has to be something in the porting.

Anybody have an idea for fitting the Gmail compose/reply window in the screen better. The left side gets cut off and you can't get to it. Same thing when trying to set custom lockscreen apps, I can't get to the right middle one.
I have it on Tablet Mode Optimized, as I had the phone FC with it on Phone Optimized.
This is a cool ROM though! Thanks Team Unknown!

Found a fix for the fitment, under user default dpi, I set it to stock dpi tablet and everything fits great now, however everything is much smaller, but I like it, and you can adjust font size after that. Thanks for the info...it certainly pointed me in the right direction, even if individual apps aren't adjustable right now.

Was the modified build.prop included in the rom update? Or do I have to reinsert it after the new rom install?
look you must do a full wipe and about the build.prop you can still have to push if you want the extra benefits

Anyone running MIUI still?

I loved this ROM on my Infuse back when I had it and have been looking for a stable build that is fully functioning/bugless (for the most part anyways)... However there is very little info here on this ROM and the info that I have read is negative, mentioning bad MMS, cant add contacts ect etc....
Anyone still running this? Any feedback is much appreciated, thanks in advance!

What are you currently running?
running the most recent build for us. Its nice actually. Contacts bug isnt a big issue at all. For themes to work just run a terminal command and they work fine. Untill cm10 gets the camera more stable Im going to stay on this.
I used to use it as a daily driver.
Then Jelly Bean came along.
MIUI is seriously one of the best ROMs I have ever used. The dynamic notification system is the best part about it, as well as the beautiful UI.
There are also a lot of themes you can apply. You can ever pick and choose which parts of what theme you want to use.
It's also really smooth. Once you use MIUI, it's hard to leave.
And from a stability point of view, it's perfectly fine to use as a daily driver. I had very few crashes.

Sucks its not getting updated, visually MIUI has no competition, ive literally tried everything and asethetics are extremely important to me.... Eevery JB/ICS rom ive used just looks like a kids toy in the UI... And Zeam, why doesnt it look the same when you install zeam on MIUI versus any other rom?
Do you have lte data issues with aokp.?

I used to, but recently I switched to Sky-ICS with a MIUI launcher theme. I just didn't see the appeal of it when there are other ROMs that give the device much more attention.

another way is to turn on root permissions, then use root explorer to set permissions for /data/system/theme. Make sure everyone has r/w/e. All 9 boxes checked. chmod 777 is the terminal command I believe. But wait til the guys chime in to be sure.

For themes to work, run these commands in terminal:

chmod 777 /data/system/theme
cd /system/etc/init.d
The mkdir command will give an error, just keep going, then try applying a theme after, and it should work.
Being a ROM flashing addict I've been debating whether to give MIUI a go, this thread pretty much convinced me. Thanks guys.

Hope you guys like it!

Same way you do it with stock - you have to open up the app drawer, hit the menu button, then select edit. You may need to switch the view type first - do that, and then you can drag things from the app drawer into the dock and vice versa.
Hey again -
To the few that do try this rom out - feel free to drop suggestions for other things to try and work in (beyond lockscreens of course). While I do have one known (and one unknown) surprise ready, I'd like to get a few more things worked into an update if at all possible. I can't say I'll be able to work in what is suggested, but I'll give it a shot at least
Having an updated tw launcher or a different launcher with the ability to have 5 or 6 apps in the dock would be all that I would ask for. Everything else is fantastic. Thanks for all your efforts.

Yeah I've thought about such things, but I always circle back to the idea that there are so many great 3rd party launchers out there I should let it be to encourage folks to explore those options lol. I also am leery on putting in a launcher that has a pay version or has the whole ask-for-permission hassle (that's not really a hassle), but I'll keep my eyes peeled for something different.

Google Now should have been working - all the stuff from the referenced link was added for it anyway. How is it different now vs. when you first flashed the ROM? Could you get me a screenshot of what it looks like for you now? Perhaps I missed something...
LOL on the swag toggle - I meant to change how that behaved. The toggle is there for fun only, but to mess with people on the Gingerbread build I had it set to force download mode if you turned it on while auto-brightness is turned on - I forgot to change that, my bad
EDIT: Derp... I see what I forgot... Ok, it will be fixed in 2.1, sorry about that For those not wanting to go and flash anything, all you need to do is delete /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox_USA.apk and then reboot and all will be well. My bad.
Google now just wasn't there before. It was standard search. Now I've added it mine looks like this:

I added Google now by flashing this zip which I found in the thread you linked to (so of course I take no credit for it and I'm not to blame if it causes the apocalypse)

Yep - everything in that is already in the rom, I just forgot to remove an apk. D'oh.
First off - thanks to those that have offered some feedback on this, it is very much appreciated. That being said, I know not many have tried this out but I'm getting an update together, so I wanted to ask if anyone has noticed anything else not working quite as they expected or anything that should be changed/added/removed...?
I haven't come across anything I wanna do with the launcher yet, but I have cleaned up a few things in the toggles, Google Now is now working as it should, I fixed another little bug I found when you first turn on wifi after flashing... outside of that is there anything people have found that I should address before updating? No worries if not - like I said not many have tried this out, but I'd like to get all the little issues ironed out before updating if possible.
Great ROM. Very smooth. But is there any way I can get the touchwiz ICS style battery percentage next to the battery icon?

Hmm... is there an image you can share for this? I'm just not sure if you mean the size/font color of the %, or if its the battery icon itself is what needs to change. Shoot me an image and I'll get on it

Yeah... the dreaded theming lol. Any themers in the house? I could take a crack at it, but I've technically never really done it before. I suppose now is as good a time as any to learn right?
Thanks for the feedback folks - with all the other options out there it makes me appreciate it all the more
Any way to see emoji?? I know go sms lets you see them.

I am using LiquidSmooth RC9 and I do not see any option in System settings->Security->Screen lock for Face Unlock.
The only options I see are None, Slide, Pattern, PIN, & Password.
I'm pretty sure eclipse does. I'll check when i switch back to my s3 in a little.

Thanks. I will try out eclipse then. I've used it in the past but there was an issue with Bluetooth so I switched over to liquidsmooth.

One other question is I think facebook sync was never working right for me before on Eclipse and I had to download a separate facebook sync app to sync my facebook apps. Is that issue fixed in the latest version of Eclipse?
I'm fairly certain all of the AOSP support it but whether its included is another story. Liquid RC9 its not included in the rom zip or gapps zip, whether this was done on purpose or not i have no idea, my guess would be that its not included because it lowers the overall size of the rom, but again that's just my opinion.
Those looking for a zip file with it, slimbeans has a download on his site for just the faceunlock, now whether this will work on other roms and/or cause any issues i have no idea, i haven't tested it because its not something ill ever see myself using, but again you can try it if you'd like. You can download it directly from slimbeans site from this link

Awesome! Thanks I might try this because I just flashed to Eclipse and it looks like the Facebook contact syncing still doesn't work and also I like the keyboard that is used by LiquidSmooth ROM a lot better as it includes things like ?, ., etc. on the first keyboard where you can long hold a key to get the punctuations. I do like the fact that LED is working on Eclipse though as it does not seem to be working on Liquid.

There is an app in the play store that does face unlock, it works pretty well.
