Hi all. I'm having a hard time getting Omar's ROM, with CM SMS app to consistently notify me of messages.
My phone is usually on silent, so I rely on seeing the blinking green light.
Sometimes it blinks, I unlock phone and swipe down, but there is no notification, because it's already marked as read by the time I get that far.
Other times it never blinks because the message has been marked as read before I ever see it.
If i'm using the phone I see the notification in the bar and it shows unread in the app. So when the phone is locked and I need the notification the most it's automatically marking my messages as read... but only somtimes, very frustrating.

Can someone please make me less angry about this? Or possibly point me in the right direction to troubleshoot it ;)
:highfive:

Flash this in CWM. It will replace the CM Messaging App with the tweaked Moto Stock one. After that it should working.

Cheers for that, i'll give it a run over the weekend.

Any insights on the issue though? Messages are received as normal it seems, just getting marked as read when I haven't read them.

The CM App seems a lil bit buggy.
I can send and receive sms, but when I send one, it stucks @ "sending" while the Message is already delivered. Others don't receive sms if they are to long and so on.
But no big deal, fix it with the zip and enjoy an great rom. :cool:

HSD-Pilot, would you please share correct information?

The link you provided is the tweaked Messaging.apk - but there is no "fix" by me.

Someone has created a CWM-package and renamed Messaging.apk to Mms.apk, think, to overwrite the CM version.
I don't know what happens, if someone has old Messaging.apk and "new" Mms.apk (which is the same then) side by side, because the signatures are the same.

I provided a new package for CWM, please use that.
This will delete all Mms.apk-stuff and reinstall the correct tweaked Messaging.apk version.

I'll stop by your thread and am grateful for the "fix" :angel:

That someone was me ;)
Sorry, but this file is usually linked in my Home Forum and the "by shaftenberg" should give credits. I 'll link your new zip later, when i' m back on my PC.
But you get an Viva Colonia during the installation > I love this city :cool:

I have resolved it before instalation of omar's ROM. I deleted MMS.apk and MMSdependencies.apk in his .zip file and I inserted there original Messaging.apk. I have now stock messaging app with dark theme...I like it more then AOSP. It works well. I have needed stock browser (due to flash) and WiFi tethering so I inserted original apks also. I installed zip after this.
I have changed brightness curve also because Omar's is really dark for me especially outside when someone is calling and I didn't see display.

Thanks for the suggested fixes. The .zip by shaftenberg appears to do this after the fact, so i'm happy. I'm usually away from my PC when I install a new version of a ROM, so altering the contents of it are a no go here.

Thanks mate for your effort! This new CWM would be better as it fixes indeed weird problems during install. Better than having two same apks side by side, you'll never know what the users did and how they did it.

Slightly offtopic: I can't get over the workaround of having standard and CM messaging app side by side, this is weird. In that case it would be better, someone fixes the CM version for our RAZR rather than dirty hacking something.

IMHO completely on-topic, i'm not clued up on such wizardry as this, but discussing it is more important than my asking for help.

I renamed it to Mms.apk, so it overwrites the CM messaging App.
This was meant as an fast fix, some builds before and it works. I thought it would be fixed in one off the following releases.
