Why did the mods move this? This is more android development than the live wallpaper request. This at least modifys things at the OS level. Sorry ass mods.

Have you tried multiple programs? I dont even have 100 contacts to test this.

I'm no dev. but I do believe if your phone is rooted, you should be able to simply do adb pull, make the changes, then push the file back?

Leme' know if that works, just a thought :D

Well, I have the answer from Christopher
Like I mentioned, needing to remove the check is probably indicative that there's a better way to do things, but that answer pretty much covered the steps:

1. Obtain a device that has root access
2. Enter the device shell (the "adb shell" command) 3. Use the command line tools to alter the settings database 4. Reboot

For more details, check Google or try asking on StackOverflow.com as it's an official Android support channel.

I got it to work! Heres how(taken from link above):

Open Command Terminal and enter the following:
adb shell
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Then you'll see: sqlite>

Then enter the following to alter the limit

INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES('sms_outgoing_check_max_count', 101);

(change 101 to your new limit)

I didnt try altering the limit so I hope it works for you guys.. but I can confirm this next one works. It completely turns off the limit altogether.

To turn off the limit enter:
INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES('sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms', 0);

It worked right away for me.. (SMS Bomber >)) Id reboot to be safe.

Ok, I"m having trouble doing this on my EVO.

Here's what I've done so far:
1. Rooted with UnrEVOked
2. Installed SDK,
3. Added to path,
4. turned on usb debugging
5. connected with usb, drives did install
6. tested with adb devices, serial showed up
7. adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
8. sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
sqlite3: permission denied

Are you sure you have superuser access then? Go into terminal and type in "su" and tell me what you get.

When I try:
INSERT INTO gservices('sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms', 0);

SQL error: near "0": syntax error

I am using a rooted HTC (Sprint) Hero running the Aolysuis 2.1 rom.

Disregard everyone. Apperently you have to enter that whole command as written. I thought maybe he was giving a general syntax structure and then provoding us with specific values....that is what it looked like to me but no

INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES ('sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms', 0);

is the whole command...kind of silly looking if you ask me.

May look silly, but that's how Structured Query Language is written. Don't be intimidated or embarrassed by the mistake, no worries!

Also, I have added this how-to guide on my website, located in my signature. OP, excellent find and great guide.

I have tried everything from the steps above to just typing


C:\Users\Israel David>cde C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
'cde' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\Israel David>cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/d
atabases/settings.db sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
/settings.db
sqlite3: Error: too many options: "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/dat
abases/settings.db"
Use -help for a list of options.

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/d
atabases/settings.db
SQLite version 3.6.22
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> INSERT INTO gservices (name, Value)
...> VALUES('sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms',0);
Error: unable to open database "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databa
ses/settings.db": unable to open database file


SECOND WAY ......

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/d
atabases/settings.db
SQLite version 3.6.22
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES('sms_outgoing_check_interval_
ms',0);
Error: unable to open database "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databa
ses/settings.db": unable to open database file


IN BOTH WAY THEY SAY UNABLE TO OPEN DATABASE FILE AND I DO HAVE ROOT ACCESS I HAVE CHECKED :)

I am using a Sprint Hero! Flash 2.1 ROM I need to find a way to erase the LIMIT because I have 4 groups with over 200 people that receive daily txts and I have tried using Command Prompt and Terminal and on Command Prompt it says that sqlite3: not found and on Terminal adb: not found or permission denied

I have su permission

Just tried to do this on my newly updated 2.2 evo (OMJ build) and I got

SQL Error: no such table: gservices

Has this hack/fix changed in 2.2 or did they remove the limit?
