This mod will give you true uncompressed MMS, which lifts the compression of incoming and outgoing pictures in the stock Messaging app.

To find out if you can already receive and/or send uncompressed images, look below:

So I was toying around with trying to remove compression because none of the methods that are currently in use really do the job 100%. Pretty sure I got it but I wanted to make sure first.

I would like for those of you who have a ROM with 'uncompressed MMS' enabled to do a test for me:

I would like for you to attach the following picture to a message and send it then verify the size, which should be 1.2MB and report back.

Below is an image of my phone sending a MMS message with True uncompressed applied and is what yours should look like if your MMS app is truly uncompressed:



Okay, it shows the right size in the message body, so what right? What does it look like received on the other end? Here's a screenshot of my GMail account after receiving the picture from my phone, and is what yours should look like if your MMS apk is truly uncompressed and you've sent the photo to yourself or email address.



Now, initial tests with a buddy of mine say that compression works on both the receiving and sending end. So both parties will need an uncompressed MMS apk for this to even work properly.

If your results are like mine, then you have a truly uncompressed MMS apk, but if not, I will attach mine as well as instructions on how to enable it.

EDIT: Thank you to all the testers in this thread. It has been confirmed successful and working.


The mod is below. Flashable in recovery. It is for deodexed ROMs.

I just gave handcent up.

Can I please get your MMS.apk and the instructions? I've been looking to get MMS uncompressed since the day I got my phone
Of course. I need people to verify that their pictures are compressed upon receiving or sending by following the instructions in the OP first. :)

How do we know if we have uncompressed.? I'm on stock rooted lj7

the steps are in the OP. In a nut shell it's:

-Download the image from the OP
-Check that it's the correct size (1.2MB) in the gallery
-From the messages app, send it to yourself or an email address you have access to
-Verify that it attached and sent at 1.2MB by tapping and holding on the message then going to details
-Verify that it received at 1.2MB

If it did, you're already uncompressed. More likely than not, the MMS app will compress it even on most, if not all ROMs that think they have uncompressed MMS.
