[Q] t-mobile mms signature - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

ive searched for others with similar problem but can only find mms signatures regarding gmail and email. my question deals more with messaging?
when i chat with a gmail friend via text messaging (my number), it gets converted to mms. in my previous rom (virtuous inquisition), the only other thing that was sent with my text was the message "this was sent to you from a t-mobile wireless phone". i made the switch to scverhagen's cm9.1 r8, and now when sending these mms, attached at the end is the tmobile logo/signature which consists of several gifs (tmobile stick together logo, etc) and the message "this was sent to you from a t-mobile wireless phone". ive also tried remICS and its the same. since its a chat in a sense and the attached logo/signature takes a while to load on other end, its not very convenient. is there anyway to rid of this signature and revert back to only the original message("this was sent to you from a t-mobile wireless phone")?
if it helps, i noticed when sending mms with inquisition attached was smil.xml. now when sending with the newer ics roms, attached is text_0.txt.
thanks for the help.

I don't text so this is just a shot in the dark but isn't there a place in settings for your signature? If there is, that is most likely just the default. If you were to enter a custom signature it very well may override ALL of it & just end it with your customized one. Like I said....just a shot in the dark.

i don't think theres setting for signatures for messaging. if there are system settings for it, then i havent heard of them or cant find them.
i tried talking to a tmobile rep about it and he said it might be their mms interface and that they cant help me with that. so i tried switching back to a nandroid of inquisition. when messaging from inquisition, the logo/signature isnt attached alongside.

In the standard Messaging app for the stock HTC ROM (or any ROM based on that), under the General settings is where you can enable/disable and change the signature text. I know that Handcent SMS has a setting for converting long SMS to MMS automatically, but the standard messaging app doesn't have this setting. I don't know if it does that anyway or not.

is this option available in scverhagen's r8 cm9.1 rom? if so, cant seem to find it.
i dont seem to have this issue in the virtuous inquisition rom. will it be possible/compatible to pull a file from the inquisition rom and put it in one of the newer roms here? something like a mms file or something is what im thinking about. or would the problem be rooted deeper into the framework or teh likes?

Inquisition is a Sense-based ROM, so the apps on it would NOT work on any CM-based ROM as those apps need the Sense framework to function.

ahh, i seee. i must have been thrown off because it looks like its not sense. checking back on the thread, i see that it's senseless with most aspects of sense removed.
anyone have any thoughts of what i can do to resolve this? the lady/recipient hates this signature in the newer roms.

Since I've never seen a signature attached to any of my SMS or MMS messages, I reloaded my CM9.1r8 ROM and tried. No signature attached. I used both the built-in messaging and Handcent SMS (my usual message app).
Are you sure you're using messaging and not some other app? Maybe Google Talk? or Google Voice?

no, im using the standard messaging app (green text bubble with happy face). sorry if my explanation of problem is unclear. on my end, i only see the message. on the receipient end, they get the attached. in this case, my message was "screenshot and email me."
before they would only get the message followed by "this message was sent from a tmobile wireless phone". now it comes as seen in the attached.
thanks for the help so far. much appreciated.

EPST using ##778# (all apps working on Cricket - unstable)

Same here. I have an Evo on Cricket including market and apps except for MMS. The autostart/u2nl method for the Eris works on the Evo using the same autostart.sh script (unmodified). However the 3G connection is flaky and times out frequently. Also I get random Data Call error 98 messages related to Sprint stuff still on the phone. (I'm running a rooted stock 2.1 ROM)
I also noticed that during the toast root process I was able to ##778# (quite to my surprise) then it went away when I flashed the whitslack update ROM (upgrades radio, wimax, etc).
The strange thing re: MMS is that I tried the APN backup/restore option which worked on the Eris and it "appears" to work. The configuration settings within the Message application "look" right for Production but alas I still cannot receive or send pic messages. No biggie (I ain't paying someone just to get MMS working) but would be nice to have it working. Seems like overkill to have to create an entire ROM just to get MMS working.
Anyway...it's quite frustrating since the Eris works perfectly on Cricket with the autostart/u2nl solution.
##778# and any other ## command doesnt work for me anymore. any ideas to fix?

Anycut can link to EPST settings.
Chances are the reason it works in one rom and not another is due to the apk's installed. look for differences in the framework folder - the lib folder - and the /system/app folder from your rom that is working the rom that is not.
I belive the EPST settings are native to stock HTC roms and thus not included in a cyanogen based rom (thats how it is on the eris at least). Most people on the phone's true network will never need EPST so it may be getting removed by the rom developer to cut down on space and increase speed etc.
just my thoughts.

What ROM are you running?
This seems to be a pretty common issue - I think I remember reading about how the timestamps are fubard from how they are received from AT&T.
You can see if the issue is repeated using a 3rd party app like ChompSMS or Handcent (my personal preference)
Haven't had the issue on my phone for quite some time now - but I've been running so many different custom ROM's and I switched to Handcent too.

Glad to hear, that I'm not the only one having this issue.
My Samsung Captivate was from Rogers. I loaded AT&T Rom from an accident when i was trying to load a Froyo but loaded AT&T(2.1.1) instead. Currently I'm using Cognition v2.8b as my ROM now.
Which didn't really cure the problem. I download Chompsms and hope for the best..
i think there is a small program to fix that, im dont remember the name right now ... i remember the app icon having a band aid

[Fix]- VVM on all sense 3.5 Roms

Ok, I love all of the new roms we've had our great developers dropping on us. But on most of the 3.5 roms sprints visual voicemail doesn't work, due to sprint not having an offical 3.5 rom we have to use other carriers ports.
Anyways I figured out a way to get vvm to work on any 3.5 rom, here you go;
1. Have a titanium backup of a working vvm (with a couple voicemails on it)
2. Restore it to whatever 3.5 sense rom you want.
3. Reboot into recovery wipe cache,dalvik then flash attached .zip file.
4. Once phone is rebooted, install the attached .apk.
Let me know if anyone has issues!, I've tested this on a few different 3.5 roms, works fine on all of them.
Note- I have had a couple of times after flashing different fixes that it breaks vvm, if you get force closes, just reinstall the .apk and it will work again.
*****DO NOT UPGRADE TO NEWER VVM, YOU WILL HAVE TO REDO EVERYTHING OVER AGAIN IF YOU DO!!*****
I don't quite understand the issue here. I'm running PrimeXL 3.5 ROM and my VVM works just fine. Unless you are referring to the text feature that comes along with it?
Is there something else to it?

Yeah, it's weird. I think some of the 3.5 roms are based on different baseboards, like I was having issues getting newtoroots/mik's 3.5 roms to playback directv's sunday ticket app, which I paid for so on sundays I'd flash back to mikg so I could use it.
But it seems like some 3.5 rom's have working vvm, and some dont. It will try to provision the app, but it ends up producing a "general failure".
This fixes that on the other 3.5 roms that it won't work on.
I dont use VVM but i know one of my friends that does. I'll pass the info along. Good work!!!
Sounds great man will take this into consideration man thanks.
It was my understanding that all you had to do was flash to a 3.0 ROM, let VVM provision, do a TB of VVM and data, flash the 3.5 ROM, and restore VVM using TB. So what are the 2 attachments for?
I'm not sure this really "fixes" anything, as once it flashes, VVM does a FC and I have to re-install. A simple backup-restore with TB works just fine, IMO.

David- That used to work on many of the 3.5 roms, but as things have changed and gotten upgraded in certain 3.5 roms, it somehow broke that way of restoring vvm services, but if it works for you or anyone else then absolutely stick with doing that, it just didn't work for me.
Gyro- I tried to just install the vvm.apk but for me on any rom I tried to do that on it wouldn't work unless I did it in the way I listed above, trust me I wouldn't of posted all of that stuff if it wasn't necessary.

Easy way to change that;
When you get one of those messages open it up and press menu, then click "block messages", then it will ask you for a password. Just enter any password that you want (make sure you remember it)
Then it should start blocking all of the 9016 messages.

No, it does not work with the new vvm app. It will give you the "generic failure" message if you upgrade and it won't provision your vvm.

I tried this fix on Radiance RC-2. Radiance came with VVM but wans't sure if it was working and what not. I restored from TB my VVM (the one updated by sprint) and then got a voice mail today, didn't work. So I ran the fix (had it sitting on SDCard) and it reverted it back to old voice mail, then asked me to update, so I went ahead and updated and sent myself a voice mail. No go.
As I can see in this thread that there is an issue with the new VVM and it not working on 3.5 anyhow. So how would I go about fixing this? Should I restore my VVM from TB (even though it's the New one) and then run the fix again and let it revert it back to the old VVM?
Thanks for the help and also the fix.

Yeah, do not upgrade to the newer vvm. And you should do what you said to restore vvm service, restore your titanium backup, flash zip and install apk, do not install update.
I will update OP so this doesn't happen to others in the future.
That worked Ron. Thanks for the help. Silly VVM
Worked perfectly, thanks!!!

[Q] ASOP Contacts to replace the HTC Sense contacts

Ive been loking for the ASOP contacts/dialer to replace the HTC Sense but i couldnt find it anywhere. Anybody knows how to replace the app on an unlocked device? I find useless that the HTC contacts doenst sync to my Google account. Also it seems the HTC app merges duplicates in the phone, but no in Google.
With my old G1 i can keep all contacts syncd but not with this phone. I tried to flash Gapps 20110613 but it didnt work. I used Blue6IX_Mod02.zip and Bloater to remove as much crapware as i could but they dont touch contacts either.
Is there anyway to replace the contacts/dialer with the standard ASOP one? If not, do i need to install a GB ROM? I dont have S-OFF since this is a work phone and dont want to mess much with installing a new ROM if is not absolutely needed. Also, I really need to use the camera in Skype, but it seems it doesnt work on the ICS ROMS so i wont touch those for now.
Replacing the HTC Calendar will be nice too
Thanks a lot for your help
I'm not sure what you did, but the HTC Sense contacts most certainly sync with Google, and with Facebook and Whatsapp and Twitter. When I've reinstalled a Sense ROM, I never have to mess with my contacts, as soon as I enter my gmail info, everything starts syncing perfectly. Within 10 minutes all my contacts, my calendar, and even all my downloaded apps, are all right there on my phone.
I think you deleted something you shouldn't.
Sense has some negative points, but the contacts app is not one of them.
When I've used CM7 in the past on different phones, I've always missed the contacts app the most. I love the way it integrates with every major service, collates messages/mails/updates, and just generally kicks the butt of the regular contacts app.
It sounds like you're doing something wrong.

Thanks for the reply, I may be doing something wrong so let me describe the shortcomings I see with the Sense contacts,
1) select a contact, while you are looking at contact details change to another app, now go back to contacts...it doesnt show the contact you have selected, rather it goes to the "matched contacts suggestion" or to the full contacts list. Even if i select dismis all in matched contacts it always brings me back to that screen. If i go to dialer>contacts it goes back to the full list of contacts
2) google contacts groups - nowhere to be seen, specially favorites. Somehow the Sense contacts has its own favorites not syncd with google. With Go Contacts you can see the Google/android favorites why no with Sense contacts?
3)Dialer and contacts show messages and call log ONLY for the native services. I use only Gvoice for calls and SMS, so nobody has my Tmobile number. GVoice is completely integrated with the phone, however the dialer/contacts is not integrated with Gvoice.
4) I also have the HP Touchpad running CM9, with the standard "People" app. Thats a Google native app, with full integration with GVoice and similar layout, why can not i have that in the mytouch 4g? Why do i need to use the Sense contacts?
Im not saying the sense contacts is bad, but i want something else, namely the Google app for contacts. do i need to flash a ROM to get the problems above solved? Or do i need to change anything else on my current settings?
It sounds like you want the Google apps that come with android 4.0 (ics). Since out phone is running gingerbread, flashing those apps will get you nowhere. I'd suggest you try running one of the ICS based roms that are available.

thats plan D ... this is a work phone (so dont want to mess with ROMs, S-ON unlocked is fine since i followed HTCdev.com instructions and for what i hear people dont have any problems getting a replacement form TMobile if something goes wring). Also i need Skype/GTalk videocalls and none of the ICS roms i saw have that working. Thats why i was asking for the AOSP contacts.apk or similar. I think it should be somewhere since my old G1 with CM7 uses the google contacts app fine. But im not sure if there is an apk for 2.3.4 AND if i can just replace the Sense files or it will give me any other trouble.

virtuous.prp2.com/doubleshot/inquisition/virtuous_inquisition-v4.0.2-doubleshot-kernel3_v2.zip
For doubleshot there is no better rom atm I think... It's oc to 1.7ghz like Cm9, very recommendable!

[Q] Is there a solution to seamlessly group texting with multiple Iphone users?

I'm not referring to the groupMe app, because they'd also have to install that.
I've tried Go SMS, pansi SMS, chomp SMS, and they don't seem to do it perfectly.
When I receive a group text from an iphone user, I want it to make a new thread with all members of the group text, where I can seamlessly respond to all users. Moreover, the stock app does this in a way that my response is not received as a group text on their end, but simply a message to them (as well as whoever else was in the group). Thus, the response goes into our 1v1 chat thread.
All I want is a plugin, rom, app, anything that solves this ridiculously frustrating issue.
I'd like to know as well. I have not been able to find an easy way to do it. I'm guessing it's Apple hating on us Android folks.
GoSMS does it very well, subject to a few limitations, not sure why it is not working for you. A couple of things to keep in mind.
1) The proper threading is not native but is run after the fact. This requires that the message be fully downloaded before it is properly threaded. This can take 10-15 seconds, if you open the message during that time it will not thread correctly.
2) Unfortunately the app will notify you twice, once the original message is received, and once it is recategorized. I handle this by shutting of sound and vibration in the app and using Tasker instead. If two notifications arrive within 15 secs Tasker just ignores the second one.
From what I have been told Handcent will do something similar
The GoSMS / Handcent implementations are ****. Sorry, but they are.
I've heard tell that Android finally put native group SMS / MMS into Android 4.2, which will likely never come to our phone officially but hopefully we'll get some of the benefit at least as things trickle down in the development community.
I'm also trying to find a solution to this too and I'm always hoping that every update of Go Sms and Handcent fixes this feature. Like one of the previous replies above stated, GO SMS will give you double notifications. It's annoying because it slows down your phone if you get too many all at once.
I've found that Handcent works better than GO SMS because it only notifies you after the message has been downloaded and you don't get double notifications. However, it's still flawed because sometimes your messages hang and dont download properly unless you physically click download. Also, sometimes when you're sending a text and try to hit send, it looks like it sends but just disappears. If you wrote a long message, you would have to re-type it all over again and hope it sends correctly the second time.
If you install CM 10.1 (android 4.2.2), this group messaging feature is baked into the rom. This is probably the best experience I've had to get the group messaging to work. It works like how an iphone user would see it. However, CM 10.1 still has some minor glitches that made me temporarily go back to sense roms. With every nightly, things seem to be getting better though. I will probably try it again in a couple weeks.
Currently I'm back on Viper using Handcent.
Have you tried side loading the MMS apk from 4.2?

Really? Doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm running aokp 4.2.2. Is there something else I must do? I see group messages are checked in the settings already

Guys, where can I find this APK?
can someone dropbox the newest apk?
So i tried installing this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/oisv83ye8yv75lj/Mms.apk
I'm on ViperXL right now. I downloaded that MMS.apk to my phone and just tried running it, and the install process came up. Clicked yes through it but the app just force closes.
Am I doing something wrong here?

I've been told before that SMS apps for stock Android won't work on Sense ROMs and vice-versa. No idea why or if that's really true.

I've successfully run a CM10.1 mms.apk in CM10, but I've never tried this with Sense. Do you know what ROM that mms.apk file you have is actually from? I know CM10.1's mms.apk is compiled to require a minimum of JB 4.1, but versions from other JB 4.2 ROMs might have possibly been compiled to require JB 4.2
FWIW: mms.apk file is normally located in the /system/app folder, which requires root permissions to move a file to. File permissions might also need to be modified. Sense doesn't normally has a mms.apk in there since the stock messaging app is built around Sense and I believe the name starts with "htc", but I would assume a new mms.apk would at least run. I'm not sure whether this file location and permissions are actually part of your problem
update -
I've tried the entire process of putting the app in system, setting permissions, and installing, rebooting etc. No avail. App still force closes as soon as it opens.
I think the problem is in fact something to do with sense. I deleted the old messaging app as well first but that didn't do anything either.
Damn.
4.2.2 MMS force closes on viper 4.1
I uninstalled all the htc language packs, htc messaging. Install mms.apk.
I can get the app open, change settings, type a message... But as soon as I add a recipient it force closes.
Since I can do the things I can with the app open seems as though it should be able to work
If there is anyone that wants to work on this? I don't want to bug Turge with it.
Which mms.apk did you install?

That is an mms.apk from an aosp ROM, I didn't mention that when I uploaded it. It won't work properly on a Sense ROM.
