[Q] AOSP Messaging - Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I was playing around with the Maxx in store the other day, I wasn't sure how I felt about the size and the capacitive buttons, but everything else was real nice. Where I got held up on the software front was the messaging app. The send button instead of the paper airplane was ugly in my opinion but more importantly it doesn't seem to support extended notification (i.e. quick reply) which seems like an odd exclusion. (There's not a way to enable that is there? If so I'd live with the ugly send button lol.)
I have an mms apk from AOSP 4.2 but you obviously need root to install that in system\app. I feel like I installed a 4.1 mms onto my Razr HD even without root last year but I don't for the life of me remember how I accomplished that. I just know that I disliked Moto's heavily skinned messaging app.
Any idea on how I might install a stock AOSP mms.apk app right now given that we don't have root yet?
Thanks!

I went back to my stock Razr HD tonight. No root, stock Android 4.1. Installed the 4.2 mms.apk I have with no issue. Just installed it like any other app and everything worked swimmingly. Why does that same apk not work on a Droid Ultra? Apparently root isn't necessary after all. Do I need a 4.3 version of the apk or what?
Sounds silly, but I don't want to upgrade to a Maxx formally if I can't figure this out. I text all the time and the 3 missing features--no emoji support, no quick reply/extended notification, and no stock icons--will drive me way too crazy.
Thanks

Could this perhaps have something to do with odex vs. deodexed? I don't really understand what deodexing does and I think this stock Razr HD should be odexed since that's default but I'm not sure how one deodexes it or what happens when one does. Just one possible explanation I found while searching I thought someone might have more ideas on.
Thanks!

Why not just use slide SMS? Its the same as the aosp MMS with more features..

Its funny because every android phone I've ever gotten I rooted it immediately and never dealt with stock. I just got the RAZR maxx and your right I can't quick reply in the notification bar but I'm also not sure if that's part of stock since I always root. Does anybody know if it is and if so can we install the updated app without root?
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Yeah based on playing with the Moto X today (which I think is completely root) the quick reply functionality is apparently a Cyanogen-added thing. Who knew lol. I'll take a look at Sliding Messenger.

what ROM are you running on your D2G?

Hello,
I'm just curious what people are running because I'm currently using fission 2.4.3 and I'm looking for something else. So what are you running on your D2G?
That's all there is on the d2g right now, that and stock. I personally wouldn't go back to stock even if they paid me.

Not a lot of options for us yet, so Fission here as well.
Fortunately Fission is not only far better than stock it also seems pretty good, period.
Before I put Fission on mine I was slightly regretting getting the new one: my Droid is better than the stock D2G- and 50Mhz faster too.
With Fission- yeah, the hardware junkie part of me may not be able to do too much yet, but the phone IS smoother and faster than the heavily modified Droid- and has global capability.
We will get more roms to choose from before long, I'm sure.

Its not that its really missing anything. I used the blackout theme and really enjoyed the rom. But I was having battery /heat issues I'm not really sure why but it seems like it is not a common problem.
Last night I went back to the stock rom because of it.

Before my D2G I had (still have) my Droid 1. It was running Chevy01 Simply Stunning ROM. One cool feature of his rom was music controls with the screen off.
With screen off
Camera Button was Pause/Play
Volume up and down is stock but long press of volume up is next track and long press of volume down is previous track
AngDroid, what do you think, maybe something in the future?

I am running stock, yes I know - boring.
But I love that dialer which has both portrait and landscape modes and lookup mode, damn it is good (one thing well done Motorola!) I wish we could port it out as independent app. Another thing I like in stock rom is the car doc/desk dock apps. Launcher isn't that bad either.
Help! I tried Liberty and it got stuck in airplane mode.
I reinstalled the original ROM but parts of Liberty still seem to be in the system as when I boot I get the Liberty logo before it moves on to the stock ROM logo.
Someone please tell me where I can get a good stock ROM and how to USB push it to my phone. Liberty must be mucking up my phone as dialer won't stay open.
Anyone... Please...

It won't ever have working phone stuff.
This is honeycomb, not meant for phones

You could have a duel boot setup to have both in one device, easier than switching backups. I'm gonna give this a run, any kernels work best for this?
Loaded this up, slow I expected. No on board keyboard that I got to work. The physical keyboard did not have functional numbers that I got to work. I could not get the power button to work either.Nice work though, looks good.
So, sent from my mobile. What's new?
sorry to bother, but i've a question.. i've got a samsung i9003 that has chipset mostly identical to droid, the rest of the hardware is different, i know, phone,gps,wifi,etc. it is possible to recompile kernel from milestone to samsung, knowing the differences,and adding the kernel modules to make it work? gingerbread for this phone is arriving next month,but no rom have been spotted, but i hopo... sorry to invade your section, but i wanted to ask to some developers and i hope a good reply... sorry for my english.
True, the original software isnt meant for phones BUT, he just managed to boot it on a phone, opening up the possibilty phone use. I want to know whats required to get it working.
I loaded up the rom and it works but there are missing elements, without them it is pretty much useless. I had no wifi or data so I could not load anything on it. Neat to play with though, needs a 1000 MHz kernel just to tinker with.
kind make me happy i made the choice of buying this phone in july last summer.
How about root access? Flashed another overclock kernel pushed setcpu but no root access
Very impressive although for phone use doesn't do much there. Plus I can't use the power switch to shut device on and off
did this project die? hopefully not just seems no development has happened in a while
Really, its not going to get any better than this. Only reason I ported it to my phone was because I wanted to see what it would look like. Then people started requesting ports. This was never and will never be anything close to a DD. Its just something fun to flash and play with for a minute, then go back to your ctual rom.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
If you have a passcode you can't pull it down. And that is for obvious reasons, because if you have passcode on your phone you obviously don't want random people getting into it or seeing stuff, so that's why the notification bar can't be pulled down.
As for your iphone comment, if you really wanna use a **** phone, with **** tweaks then go ahead and get it. But the reasoning for it not being pulled down while having a passcode is obvious.
Oh and it works PERFECT on my S3 running AOSP Jellybean incase you were wondering

You're right. The must I ever did was jail break and unlock to increase resale, but it was a pain. However, that was probably my learning curve. Either way I prefer to tweak by swapping out ROMs radios, etc.
Hey you might want to check out the pimp ROM app. It lets you select a bunch of tweaks from a simple to use app. Kind of like cydia.
Sent from my SGS3 running Eclipse 2.1
Thanks. Eh. Every tweak seems to be on Google play. Not all work for this phone. And not very many. They ones that come with a ROM are okay. But I got them all on the iPhone too. Even with toogles on a widget.
Let's say if I wanted my lock screen to show up one when I'm not on my home WiFi. I could. Or password anything. Photo albums. Folders. Apps. I mean you can do that on here somewhat. But toggles for it would be nice. I phones are a lot easier to tweak. All tweaks are categorized in a appstore. Cydia is nice. Sorry die hard jailbreak fan.. lol
Hate how the keyboard on here takes the whole screen in landscape mode. Hate that the most. Lol. Its annoying. Also the notifications for apps and such on here are horrible! No badge numbers. Nothing! Lol. Sucks. Android is okay for the average user I guess. But someone who wants to tweak there phone to their liking with themes,boot logos, security, overclocking(think that's what its called in android world) lol, choose iPhone 4s or above.

Android phones are for the average user? It's more like iPhones are for the average user. What I'm wondering is why in the world did you get an android phone if you're a die-hard jailbreak fan?
As for being bored, why not flash some roms, kernels, themes, etc.

guess you right in that sense, that the iphone is for the average user. but once it is jailbroken. Probably like flashing all this stuff to your phone as you call it. All this is in, Cydia, the modified app store for all of this stuff you mention. You can add and remove tweaks to any iOS without having to "flash" anything. Of course it can get complex.
I have a friend who works for Verizon who convinced me into trying a Android. Plain and simple. iPhone will be my next upgrade. lol.
Maybe im not doing my searching right or my google history needs erased again. But all I want on my phone is apps installed directly to SD card. (read this wasn't possible). Its okay if it's not possible. notification badges. None seem to work on my ROM for some reason. (CM10 latest nightly). Well I take that back, SMS does. Their all enabled to in settings, gMail, phone, SMS.. Also now I have to go to my app drawer to click on a call to answer it. doesnt stay on my screen to accept. More themes. Seeing them on Google play. Their mostly ugly. maybe it's the lack of retina display. But nothing fancy either in the same line. I'll keep searching and asking i guess.

I'd recommend trying out different AOSP roms, such as Liquid Smooth, Paranoid Android, King Kong, AOKP, and get a sense of each one. You can also download Nova or Apex launcher and they'll both give you more options for notification badges. Stock AOSP android is pretty plain but that's the point of it though, The customization is up to you
I'll look into them. Im running CM10 ROM now. It's not bad. It'd probably be much greater if I could get my apps to store on external SDCard instead of internal. I'll keep looking them ROMs or whatever you mentioned to see if they have anything i'm looking for..

Busybox
Hi
Just updated via OTA, reinstalled CWM_Recovery and installed superSU 0.99.
Phone is rooted once again but it seems like busybox is unable to install, tried a few different versions and none seem to stick, a few even causes a crash/reboot of the phone.
Have a few programs that are reliant on Busybox to function.
Am i the only one with this problem ?

I'm really annoyed about the new keyboard layout which was an utterly unnecessary change. Not to mention that the keyboard is somewhat laggy. Apart from that it's fine and I could live with it if I would get back full root functionality.
By the way, has anyone solved their root issues (SuperSU, Busybox, and a couple other apps and tools not working) yet?

Nope I'm also having the same issues. After reading over the superSU thread it seems like HTC have done something to prevent system changes so it's basically a case of waiting until some devs find a work around
Is there an app to reorder the notifications in the notificationbar? I have 2 apps as trigger and new notifications are in the middle of these apps. I want new notifications at bottom.
Haven't got the update yet, but I'd like to know if they solved the touchbutton issue? And does USB OTG work now without extra cables? The only 2 things I'm missing.
Touch button issue is better so far but cannot say for sure that it is fixed, since now we have the Google now issue but not as frequently as before.
The new issue for me after the update is that the hands-free control is not customisable through apps after update, only single click function works for me, no track skipping or volume control

The worst update I've made on any phone....ever!
I need to downgrade ASAP, however, because I'm a relative noob and I'm unrooted I need some assistance. Any advice will be appreciated.
Just installed and had 10 minutes with it. To me my phone definitely seems a little quicker and more responsive, might just be me being excited about new stuff though! I use Swiftkey so never touch the Sense keyboard, I just gave the new one a quick go and switched back to Swiftkey, I can type on it almost as quick as a real keyboard so it would take something amazing to shift me from it. I like what I see of Google Now so far, we'll see how it pans out though. The camera changes seem good, fairly subtle differences but I think it's quicker too. I like the power saver mode, think that will be a useful one. Switching off data when the screen is off is a great feature.
So far, so good.

I am pretty fond of the new No-Lockscreen option. Something I have missed from the AOSP versions, probably the only reason I will stick with sense on JB.

[Q] More Vanilla Feel?

So, as I'm sure most of you have noticed, Verizon screwed us a little on the status bar and icons (not transparent when it should be, etc). Other than the xposed module tint bars (which I felt didn't really do it well last time I tried it, since its in beta), is there a non intrusive way to fix this? Root or nonroot ways.
Hmmmm I've tweaked the tinted bar module and the translucent bar module (meant for nexus 10 but works on any), and seem to do a pretty great job, but I'm open to suggestions

Did you see this thread? I didn't actually try it. I have root, but don't really feel like messing with system files.
I tried the translucent bar module meant for Nexus 10 on Xposed, but didn't notice a difference in the stock launcher. Maybe I did it wrong?

which thread? nothing showed up, but are you referring to the one in the Moto X Forum and changing out the systemui.apk's and such? I don't feel comfortable with it terribly. I was chatting with one of the product directors for the Droid Maxx last night on G+, and that was one of the more requested updates for the Droid line's next update, sooooo... hoping Motorola defeats VZW's douche-ness on killing vanilla
LOL, I'm an idiot. Here's the thread:

Sounds like a similar procedure to changing out systemui.apks and stuff.

yeah, i think its the same guy who posted it in Moto X, except without the flashing... Idk. If it doesn't come out in the next month or so (4.4.2), I might do this. But this is definitely better than flashing, thanks!
