[APP][NOW JB 4.2 SUPPORT] Modded Mms.apk v1.5 - Check OP for features

MODDED MMS.APK v1.5

Comment: You might also like this Holo MMS mod, very very nice look: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1948433

This works on any ICS/JB(up to android 4.1).
UPDATE [23-02-2013]: NOW WORKS ON ANDROID 4.2 JB! (some roms above 4.2 may not be compatible).

This Mms.apk is the same as the stock one, except for the mods I applied. It is the most close to the stock Mms.apk, just with some better features! ;D

DOWNLOAD:Check attachments for apk downloads.

Features:

- Inverted (optional): black background instead of white (check attachments to download the apk you want: inverted or non-inverted);

- No MMS conversion: you can type very long messages and it won't automatically convert it to a MMS;

- Unlimited Recipients list: you can now send your message to more than 20 people at the same time;

- Original Time Stamps: this makes original time stamps setting actually work: it shows the exact sent time of received messages, not the moment when you actually receive it on your phone;

- New Line Option: have you noticed that stupid "" key next to the space bar? Yeah, where the "new line" key should be? Google did it! But this mod changes that "" key to "new line" key as it should always be.

- 160 characters capacity: 160 characters capacity per SMS for other languages other than English, and not 60-70. No more extra costs for longer messages!

- Bigger Writing Window: if you notice, when you are typing long sms, you can only see 3 sentences of what you've typed. I've changed that value to 5 sentences and it feels much better. Now you can see 5 sentences of the message you're typing.

- Emoji Support: a set of 471 nice emoticons.

- Changed default android heart smiley: do you know that green smiley when you type '<3'? Removed that green android and replaced it with a neat heart (see screenshots).

- Speech Bubbles: some nice balloons around the texts.

- With/without Avatars: you can choose the version with avatar pics or the one without them.

- With/without SGS III icons: the versions with this tag have the messaging app icon of the SGS III, as well as the smileys.

- Pop-up notification: Enable this in settings. A pop-up will show up when a new message is received. You can reply right away.

Hmm, i think i am stupid, but iphone inverted and avatar does not exist, right ?

Hmm no there isn't :/ I didn't make such version. I think I'll stop answering requests because there's a lot of people asking for mods and I can't handle so much requests. I might make a guide on how to mod the apk, explaining each mods, and how to do them

hey when do u upgrade your base new features (translations, options to select the enter, send button. etc...)

now you only have to invert and to add your themes
some of your mods now in the base from cm9




have a nice modding

Click to collapse

hi! there's no way I'm udating every single version again to use the recent base. I'm sorry, but that's just too much, because I would have to apply each mod specifically again. I think I'll make a guide. That way everyone will be able to apply the mods he/she wants
