Just to start off the problem I am having is prevalent in all 2.1 stock sense hero roms. There is so much keyboard lag in the sense messaging app that it is pretty much useless. You really can't type the way you want too. Considering I use my phone pretty much for text messaging and music, this has destroyed my opinion of the phone. Sprint was so excited about this phone and gave up on it within 7 months. Considering all contracts last for 2 years (if you want the good upgrade prices), don't you think it would be the ethical thing to do to keep a phone updated for at least that duration. This is a $500 dollar phone that can't text message correctly.
Alright after my ranting now down to the problem. I feel like the #/160 character counter right above the send button is the issue causing the terrible keyboard lag. I rarely do texts over 160 characters so I really don't need this. I remember back in the day of my touch diamond, there was an .xml mod you could do to eliminate the character counter which sped up the texting perfectly. I have no idea how to go through all the .xml's and .pngs of the apks but I figured someone in here could help. Basically I want the character counter to be removed to see if this is the problem. I do have only prediction on, no vibrate or sound, and it still lags out of control. It happens on every sense rom I've tried (and trust me I've tried them all). This does not happen in any of the AOSP based roms such as Cyanogen and Aospmod with the stock android Mms.apk, where there is no character counter. I tried pushing that to my phone an I like it but it just doesn't match up with the rest of the sense, plus it doesn't have the message counter option on the icon which i really like. I pretty much came to this conclusion when i used both of Zen's ports, Aria and MT3G, and I had absolutely no lag when texting. Both roms have different framework i understand which doesn't allow me to push either of the MMs.apk's from either of these roms to my hero stock 2.1. I am using IcedHoneyBun with Zens' any rom Kernel right now but it happened in NfinitiFX's rom too. ONCE AGAIN I NEVER USE VIBRATE OR SOUND so please don't mention that as a fix.
I am posting the Mms.apk below. If somebody can help me I would be glad to donate.
you might want to post this on android central, Beezy420 build icedhoneybun, and he might be able to fix it for you. Although i blieve hes mostly developing for EVO now, he is still around. Post in his honeybun thread.

I know beezy built it but it has nothing to do with the rom. It has everything to do with the stock sense Mms.apk. More hero users use xda than any other site thats why i posted it here.
I *highly* doubt that a simple character counter is causing the delay. First of all, that only makes sense if the keyboard is *completely* lag-free in all other "known-good" apps.
Handcent's text messaging app also has a character count... have you tried that app?
Can you type without any lag in a basic notepad application? Make sure you have all of the same auto-correction and spelling options enabled.
HTC MMS is laggy as hell!!! This isn't "the fix" but it should help somewhat. Turn off ur notifications and auto-retrieve in stock MMS then go into your stock app manager under settings~~>manage apps and force stop Messaging. Now download either Handcent or Chomp from the market cuz they r pretty much the same. Then remove the stock messaging shortcut from your desktop if u have one just so it's outta your way. A good portion of the lag should be gone. Clocking ur cpu higher if u use a clockable kernel will help reduce keyboard lag too.

I mean my keyboard is lag free in any other application except ones that require per letter searching such as google search. I just feel like getting rid of the character counter would help a great deal just because you are absorbing a but of memory after ever letter you type. I really don't know what is the cause. I don't like chomp or handcent i've tried them both. Not as much lag but there is still some lag. I just wanted to see if this was the problem and then go from there.
I would love for someone to pull the counter out of the HTC mms app. I will also gladly donate.
...still willing to donate...
Not possible. I'm using a GSM port of the Legend 2.1 build, and there is no 160 count at all, and it runs no better/worse than the older one. (The only reason it loads faster is because I'm using Zen's Any Kernel)
anything is possible and we wont know until it happens

Except, this doesn't make much sense. MMaybe I haven't used a CDMA ROM in a while, but I distinctly remember the HTC Messaging app always being a bit sluggish.
You should try swype its great and quick as hell! =]
Has nothing to do with what you are saying. My brother has a Droid Eris with the same messaging app and its flawless. Maybe ours will get fixed in the update rolling out

Just wondering if there is a fix to the sideways pictures in the messaging app and where I could find one. It'd be nice if it was inverted (blacked out) and supported emoji's and quick reply.
All else fails, how could i modify my current mms.apk to have my vertical pictures display correctly?
Thanks in advance!
its a current bug my friend. As for the rest, cm10 MMS does all that
So what you're saying is there is currently not a fix? No one has tried?
So as some of you know, the quality of MMS pictures are pretty low and distorted when using the AOSP messaging on Synergy, or any other TW ROM I am assuming.
I have been looking all over for the fix...but I cannot pinpoint which one is the right one or even if it will work on this ROM.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

The MMS look bad because they have been set to be heavily compressed by the app's settings. Esch has stated that he doesn't work on the ported AOSP apps in the ROM.
So if you want to get higher res MMS you can do one of the following:
- decompile the apk, adjust the res in the settings.xml, recompile, and manually install
- install one of the the themed AOSP MMS apps for touchwiz in the themes&apps section that has been modified to have a higher res.
i'm personally using this one that allows 990k size MMS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095243
- install a 3rd party app like go-sms which allows you to control MMS size

Thanks for your response and for the link! I will look into it and post what I come up with.
I'm sure most of you know that installing the AOSP MMS application through HyperDrive as your messaging program doesn't result in good quality MMS photos and etc. It loses resolution when sent. I knew of a few fixes for it, but I was curious as to how others have gone along with this problem (if you have installed the AOSP messaging app.)
The reason I want AOSP so badly is because of group messaging.
Thanks in advance!

Hello all, tried searching for my issue and haven't had much luck.
When I take a pic it looks great on my phone, if I share it to fb it looks great, but if I send it as a text or hangouts message the quality seems pixelated. I've tried looking for different settings in the camera and Google messaging app, but no dice. It almost seems like when it sends it converts the image to a lesser quality, but that doesn't make sense to me
Stock ROM, 1.57.651.1 stock camera
Thanks for the help in advance
