[Q] NexTheme problem?

---

For some reason, NexTheme is triplicating all the texts I receive. It's not giving me three notifications, just 3 texts all at the same time. I saw that a few other people were having this problem, but the only solution given is to use RootExplorer to do some stuff, and I'd rather not pay $4 for an app to make my phone work as it should.

Word on the street is that it's only affecting Epic 2.5 users, something about conversations.apk vs. mms.apk. Anyone have any ideas?

For your phone to work as it should would mean to not make any changes as that as how it comes from the manufacturer. As with any theme, you use at your own risk. You should have a decent root explorer on your phone anyway and i would recommend getting one in case you have system issues or have to overwrite a file. Additionally, you should be able to use adb as a root explorer alternative just not as convenient since it is not on the phone itself.

Well, I'm still not sure why it was happening (or how it could've been caused by installing a theme), but the root of the problem seems to have been having multiple messaging applications. I uninstalled Handcent SMS and it only duplicated messages, and I went in and renamed Conversations.apk to Conversations.bak, which ultimately solved the problem.

I have a terminal emulator and busybox on my phone, and despite having a fair bit of bash knowledge, but I couldn't do anything with any of the files in the app folder. It'd be nice if the information on how to do things was more organized, I've been trying to learn.

of course arent we all here to learn?:)

if you were in terminal you should be able to do something such as:

PHP Code:

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
rn system/apps/conversations.apk conversations.bak 


I believe that would work.

Additionally, it may be something with the theme as multiple people have had the issue. Just the phrase of I want my phone to work how it was supposed to sounded as if you were blaming the developer is all. Just wanted to make sure that we had the canned response of "use at your own risk".
