NEEDS ROOT
I) What it does:
- allows sending sms messages in unicode mode, which means you will be able to use up all 160 characters in single message, whether or not using specific for chosen language diacritical marks. Operation should be similar to 'GSM mode' in Samsung's default Mms app in FroYo 2.2 roms [works in all]
- removes auto-convert to mms if exceeding 480 characters (3 x sms length) [confirmed in Mms.apk and Mms v4.0.4.apk]
- no smiley on keyboard, new line support instead (thanks to mikko3024) [should work in all apks except Mms.apk and Mms v4.0.4.apk]
- a little bit bigger text message box (when it expands) so you can have a better view of your text, not much scrolling [should work in all apks except Mms.apk and Mms v4.0.4.apk]
II) When / where does it work:
- CM7 based roms - download Mms or MmsCM7.apk
- ICS 4.0.4 based roms - download Mms v4.0.4.apk, MmsICS.apk or ics_mms_160char_by_theos0o.zip
- JB - download MmsJB.apk or jb_mms_160char_by_theos0o.zip
- CM10 - download cm10_mms_160char_signed.zip or Mms_4.1.2.apk
- CM10.1 - app bundled with rom is already able to strip unicode (Mms-CM10.1.apk)
- apps are deodexed, but will work with both odexed and deodexed roms
III) How to apply:
- Backup / copy /move your original Mms.apk from system / app. If you have one you might as well backup Mms.odex. Delete them from system / app (putting deodexed = modified app in the place of both odexed .apk and .odex file works well).
- put downloaded apk in system / app
- change permissions to rw-r--r--
- rename to Mms.apk
- tick 'strip unicode' in app settings
- reboot is not necessary
All might be done using Solid Explorer / ES File Explorer / Root Explorer / ADB.
OR
- Flash .zip from recovery
IV) Disclaimer:
- Tested by me on CM7 Alpha 8 by marcellusbe with GSM / UMTS network for Polish language
- CM7 app looks no different than standard one
- ICS app should have additional option visible in app settings, didn't test it
- Feel free to report apps compatibility with different roms/languages
- More info can be found in respective original threads
- sources by theos0o (MMS_160charsmod_v2) in attachements and in original thread
