[MOD] Enable MMS @ 1200K/GroupMessaging/VVM for ViperOneM8

[JWhetstone02]

Information

• when flashing viperone, the htc messaging app did not support group messaging or visual voice mail
• there have been people (even I) who have replaced the stock messaging app with ours and ended up with MMS size issues. these sizes where 100K, 200K and 300K
• this is the stock htc messaging app
• after following the instructions, you will have group messaging, visual voicemail, and the normal MMS sizes of 200K, 500K and 1200K

Instructions

1. download the .zip
2. reboot into recovery
3. flash via recovery
4. reboot
5. plug phone into pc and use the following adb command (NOTE: this will reset most settings within HTC Sense. etc.. turns ringer to silent, turns gps location off, and a reset the messaging settings)
   

   adb shell am start -n com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard/.activity.CustomizationActivity

6. if you are not near a pc, download and install terminal emulator and type the following
   

   su
   am start -n com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard/.activity.CustomizationActivity

7. if your screen is on, this will flash up the white HTC screen.

Downloads

• download: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407587101 (this will add VVM, but will not work if you have enabled extreme powersaver mode. the message icon will not launch when in extreme power saver mode)
• md5: 45dac35377a8fc9ef46556435b5accd4
  
  
  
  
• download: http://d-h.st/Ej7 (thanks to andybones, this works with extreme powersaver mode, but you LOSE VVM tab and you will be reset to low mms size limits. just run the above intructions again, starting at step 5)
  
  
  
  
• download: http://d-h.st/RdC (thanks to andybones for the link, Hawknest for the mod, same as download above, it just adds message notifications)

Bugs

• depending on the download you choose, download #1 which has vvm included
• this breaks messaging on extreme powersave mode
• after extreme power saver comes on then goes off; google play store does not have data. - to fix this issue, go to settings > apps > clear data for google play

Sweet! Worked perfect for me.

I had to uninstall my "other" Visual Voicemail app workaround, just to be sure there was no conflict.

Would it be OK if I linked to this thread in my VVM workaround thread?

Thanks a lot worked perfectly!! Was waiting for someone to post this

Using viper Rom with this, are all the extreme power options working with this and stock messaging app? Sending mms, etc?

Before there where issues between stock messaging app and extreme power saver mode. Those issues still here or fixed in this download?

I didn't know of this issue, but I just turned it on and I get 'app not installed'

I don't use it but I'll add it to the OP

So flashing this will give us no sms in extreme power save mode?

You are correct. I just tried & it's no go on messaging...but I can live with that.

Anyone know the max mms file size attachement to send pictures over verizon? Also, if verizon is say a 1200kb limit and I send it to someone on AT&T, will they still get the picture text message?

they will receive it, but depending on their carrier it may get compressed or it may come in they full size

 

[deeznuts]

Oh ok as long as they receive it still thatss fine. What's verizon send limit then? I flashed your zip and works great so far with VVM. Just need to do the adb thing to get the higher limits.

I see 1200kb is the highest you guYs state on here. Is that the highest verizon will send and other customers will receive? Thanks

Everything seems good, just need to stay away from Extreme Power Saver mode. Thank you!

the stock size limits were 200K 500K and 1200K

I'm assuming you can change them yourself. if you want to experiment, it is located here:

adb pull /system/customize/MNS/default.xml

open default.xml with notepad++ and locate somewhere around line 1955

<item name="MMS_Msg_Size1">200K</item>
<item name="MMS_Msg_Size2">500K</item>
<item name="MMS_Msg_Size3">1200K</item>
<item name="MMS_Msg_Size_Choose">1200K</item>

change those values. I think the vaules 600K, 1000K and 3500K will work

save the file then push it back to the phone

adb push default.xml /system/customize/MNS/default.xml

or edit that file with root explorer with the above

then run the command to refresh htc sense

adb shell am start -n com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard/.activity.CustomizationActivity

EDIT: that did work heres a screenie

Hey I am hoping that you might be able to do me a huge favor. I would really like to use venoms dark theme with the app, but if I flash the theme with this app installed the app disappears as the theme install a different resources.arsc. So was hoping that you might be able to decompile both and theme it manually or possibly give me some pointers on why my machine won't decompile properly. I am attempting to use spktool 1.5.2 by ibotpeaches.

I don't know too much about theming, but if youre decompiling an HTC app, you need to make sure you install the frameworks.

I think it's something like- if d com.HTC.resources.apk

I read the venom theme thread, they will have a Verizon beta tester, as someone already posted about it

Awesome thank you thats what I was missing. I was trying to use framework-res-htc.apk and the second resource. Have it working now. Will also see if I can mod it to work with extreme power mode.

I'm having problems not receiving notifications. I have to go into the messaging app to see if I got any new messages. Any ideas?

The one!
