Is this means we do not need gosms pro as earlier reported? What's the source of this MMS app? A phone? Thanks ....

kRt_uK · Nov 18, 2012

Hi, yes we dont need gosms pro anymore.
The source is a mod from a stock rom as cited on the link provided.
Cheers.

Is there any chance to make it work on wifi model ? with the help of dongle ? or any other way?

flashyphotos · Nov 18, 2012

Super, Works great and saves having ther extra bloat of Go sms pro

phonic · Nov 18, 2012

Installed successfully on my N73G. Thanks.

Too bad my current 3G service (AT&T $15/250MB plan) doesn't support SMS messaging

Watch your bills. If your on some "tablet" plan that's data only.

Is this going to require Root?

Either root or a custom recovery to flash the zip. Yes.

Wi-fi doesnt receive sms texts direct. So I think you need to use 'go sms' but not sure since I never used it.

Assuming your SIM/plan can support texting, using this MMS.apk should work fine. You can use GoSMS if you want, but you don't have to.

kRt_uK · Nov 19, 2012

Phonic, he is talking about wi-fi model.
Text goes to the dongle direct. You could retrieve it only if, in same way, the dongle transmits the sms to N7. But I think the dongle doesn't have such capability.

Is this the Exact file provided be the OP in the Thread you listed?

If so, would it be possible to use the Original, not modified version (other than whats need to work on N7), MMS/SMS app?
I don't like CM's pop up reply, or "No smiley on keyboard" as I use them more than a "New Line."
Trying to stay as much "stock" as possible.....

Yes it is.
The problem is that in Nakasig stock (N73g) you'll not find the mms.apk. You need to look for a stock mms.apk in others 4.2 stock roms. Not sure about ID assign problems.
The apk referred is very plain and I think the only mod was about the increasing number of characters which is good.
You can find the original Nexus 4 JB 4.2 System Apps here:

Under "Features" it lists
• No smiley on keyboard, new line support instead (thanks to mikko3024)
• A little bit bigger text message box (when it expands) so you can have a better view of your text, not much scrolling.

But I will try the Nexus 4 Stock you linked to.

Sorry I misunderstood you. You are right.
Not sure but I think that N4 is an odexed rom, the thread file is a deodexed one. Just to remember.

anyone able to send MMS messages? I'm using the provided ATT microsim and can send/receive SMS just fine.... but I get an ANR when trying to send MMS.

Code:

11-20 00:01:30.145: W/dalvikvm(3497): threadid=27: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x40d5f930)

Looks like MMS is incomplete in the stock ROM. I have a full MMS port I did for MMS out of one of my own apps I'll have to try.
