Hey TJ, glad to be of help.

 

[jjoh280844]

This is great! Thanks so much, the only question I have is, do you know why messenger will force close when trying to get or send video or files?

Was trying to send a video and it crashed and some audio files for ringtones and it crashes.

You are right, I had not notice because I only tested MMS with pictures. Thanks for the feedback... I will look into it.



Edit: I did some testing and it seems to only crash in GB ROMs. The modded Mms.apk is from a Froyo ROM which leads me to think that it is a compatibility issue of some sort. Which ROM are you using?

 

[sanjose_shark]

hey thanks a lot endoki..i was a lil frustrated wen my mms wasnt working but thanks to u and ur research im glad that i can see pics and stuff..also same problem as others cant get audio files and video to download cant recive any luck on wats going on with that??? thanks again

!!!!!Wow, I was/am so excited to see this in the thread list!!!!!
Does this fix the data dropping issue too or just the MMS?

Looks like long SMS still isn't working, I'll just switch to handsent for that I suppose.
Is there a way to keep the gingerbread mms.apk if we decide we care more for the long sms functionality? Or could you possibly add it as an attachment?

Testing the data now..if it holds out I'll definitely be buying you a cup of Joe

Nope, there it went..I guess this is just for the MMS..do you have any ideas about the data dropping issue?

 

[tjmckenzie]

I'm running GSB 2.6, and data drop is rare for me. I have a pretty clean set up, not extra scripts or flashes aside from GSB, Gapps, and MetrOFF. On the rare occasion I do notice a data drop, enabling and disabling Airplane mode fixes it quickly.

I've got a really clean install myself but I get the data drop very consistently..so strange.

You are much welcome! The modded Mms.apk included in the fix is from a Froyo ROM. I am thinking it is a compatibility issue with GB that is causing it to crash when loading audio/video files... this is pure speculation right now as I have yet to decompile it and explore further. I think it is time to mod a GB Mms.apk and make two separate fixes; one for GB and one for Froyo.

Sorry to bring your hopes down, but nothing yet on the data drop issue. The fix is just for MMS.

About the long SMS, I am looking into modding a GB Mms.apk and making two separate fixes; one for each ROM type, aiming to solve both, long SMS and audio/video loading issues. Meanwhile, I can make a version of the fix that does not include the Mms.apk if you guys want it.

This Mms.apk attached has the split functionality, but can someone test it to see if it will work sending MMS? If it does ill update my thread with this one. Please let me know. Of course make a backup before just in case something messes up.

Flashed DecafuctCFSv6 this morning and my phones been running much better on GSB2.6. Hasn't froze at all, and battery life seems to be improving. Haven't dropped data at all, but that was rare for me anyways.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Gingerbread GSB 2.7

 

[workshed]

endoki, awesome job brother. I figured since you were working on this, we didn't really need to do a separate rom and glad to see it's working out great this way so far.

If I was on cricket or metro I could be a lot more help. I'll just help supply roms along with the other devs, and you keep supplying the metro/cricket crowd with a means to make those roms work

Everyone wins!

Congrats again and thank you for the time you put into providing this work.

 

[matthewmilbut]

is the decafuct kernel going to affect the functionality of workshed's gingerbread rom? has anyone tested this?
What radio did you flash?
Links please, Thanks guys
