[FIX] SMS - show sent time instead of received time JPX/Y JS5OK-201102181517HKT

this will show the original sent time by the sender in the sms message (from now on) instead of misleading received time when the message arrives

for me it's very misleading, so i made this


be sure the original Mms.odex is renamed/removed


EDIT problems with jpy version, removed temporarily
jpy fixed and work now


sorry, for not providing any instructions coz i was in a hurry yesterday as to fix the jpy's problem since there are some changes in jpy
thx for g00ndu and joecisd's help for providing instructions, which can be found here:

EDIT 201101041649HKT: a revised version for JPX (i tested it on JPY) added


EDIT 201102181517HKT: the JPY version is compatible with JS5, details here

There's an app on the market called SMS Timestamper which does this already. Just information....

Is there any chance of making a version that shows both? Sent and received? I get a lot of international messages so the sent time can be just as confusing as the received time.

i agreed that this will be perfect. however, it's not easy to do this with the stock version. aosp mms will be easier for such changes

cheers. Can you include the procedure for installing them? why the .odex part?

Unzip the file using 7zip.
There should be 2 files; Mms.apk and Mms.odex.
Mount your system to rw using SGS toolbox.
Copy both files to your sdcard.
Use root explorer and navigate to the /system/app folder.
Rename both stock to Mms.apk.orig and Mms.odex.orig.
Move the 2 files from sdcard folder to /system/app folder.
Reboot if you got fc.

That's about it.

Thanks. Is the newly added (JPY)Mms.apk required as well?

If your rom is deodexed, use the (Jpy)mms.apk. If your rom is stock, meaning if there are other files ending with .odex in your /system/app folder, then the 7z file should be used.
