SO, when I access text messages, I noticed they have been taking longer and longer to load. I am thinking this has to do with the fact that my phone has over 3200 text messages/threads in the memory. Is there a way to auto delete messages when you go over say 1000 in memory? I've searched everywhere for a setting and could not find anything.
On mms.apk (messaging) there is an option under settings that lets you limit how many each conversation can have.
There is also an app called Delete Old Messages where you can have it set to auto delete all messages except the ### most recent. you get to chose how many. But for that feature you have to buy it instead of using the free version.
Hope that helps

Where?Ghost text.
My bad, its on the AOSP mms i pulled from darchvanilla - the one with the green icon.
But its right under settings > storage settings > Text message limit.
I attached the apk if you want to use it. First nand backup and then rm the old Mms.apk under /system/app/ After that, push the downloaded one there.

Cool, could you really attach it though?
Also, can i do those steps with root explorer while the phone is running? Oh wait, i have to nandroid anyways, disregard....
EDIT: I swear it wasnt there 2.5 seconds ago when i posted. Lol. Thanks bro. I really need this option. Just met a new chick recently, and her conversation got to over 350 messages in less than two days. I was like why is my ish running sluggish. Oh yeah... hundreds of messages to load.

Haha yeah, you're not crazy, i did forget it at first
You're welcome, glad i could help
So yeah, anyway i can do this without reseting? I dont have time to nandroid, and dont feel like resetting my phone cause im waiting for an important call. I tried using root explorer to just switch them, that was a no go. So i put the original MMS back and tried to install the ASOP one over it, but it wont install. Any thoughts?
us a terminal emulator.
cd /sdcard
cp Mms.apk /system/app
Done!

Awesome, that was tooooo easy, cant believe i didnt think of it. Thanks bro, even kept all my messages in place.
Edit: Sorry, Can a mod move this to General?
I was reading that Shootme works on the Evo without rooting so I thought I would give it a shot. It installed fine, and appears to work, but when I shake the phone to take a screen grab, it makes the click but I cant seem to find the folder. (sorry run-on sentence)
I looked on /SDCARD/Shootme but the folder does not exist... thoughts? ideas?

Ok , listen up. I also have shootme and was taking a bunch of pics and just on a whim from this thread decided to view it.
Lo and behold there is no folder on my sd card named shootme. So I decide to take action. I make my own folder. Using astro file manager.
Name it : ShootMe Just like that. S and the M have to be capitalized.
I then took a few more screenies and it works now!!!!! Enjoy mi amigo.
It worked for me without making a folder just install and it works

Yeah , it worked for all of us. But for me and the aforementioned poster couldn't find the "folder" for the pics. That was the messed up part. The app worked , just not the folder to view the pics.
But now its allllll good.
Just wanted to share a trick I discovered to delete the Verizon bookmarks from the browser, from within the browser.
Just visit the bookmark, then go into history, and delete the bookmark from there with a hold-press on the history entry. For some reason this worked, even though it wouldn't delete from the bookmarks screen.
NICE! Thanks!
Good work, dude.

Wouldn't work for me, so I just opened up skyfire and it allowed me to delete them just like any other bookmark.

Good work, but I was able to delete them like any normal bookmark from Dolphin.
Easiest way I found was to go to the bookmarks thumbnails, long press the bookmark and choose "Delete bookmark" from the popup menu.
Ok Im using the ROM listed below in my signature, and I'm getting ready to theme it with Androdena::Tek::Galaxy!
It has the blue background and custom Icons.
Anyway my question is how do save it? [BackDrop] And then restore this [BackDrop] picture after I theme it, cuz its gonna replace it with a shot of earth!
And I just cant part with this Beautiful Brunette!
isn't that your wallpaper?
Just get shootme and use it to take a picture of your desktop or just look into the wallpaper folder for that rom and put it in another folder

I already checked my wallpaper folder all of them , and she's no where to be found!
She's somewhere in the ROM program, but no where I can get to or find!
Also if I take a snapshot of her with the Widgets, that,ll be no good unless I remove all of them, theres got to be a way of accessing this wallpaper photo of it clean, so I can add it to my wall Paper Folder.

if that is the default wallpaper for the rom you will be able to find it in the framework-res.apk use your favorite method to pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework either to your phone or your computer. then unzip either using root explorer or 7zip (just right click and extract with 7zip on pc) then look in /res/drawable-hdpi the wallpaper will be named default_wallpaper.jpg or something to that effect.
Cheers

Nice, thanks shreddintyres, that sounds like a viable option, my only ? now is what to use to pull the framework-res.apk from the /system/framework, the rest Ive got a grip on, but Ill start reading until I figure out exactly what you just instructed, haven't EVER dissected a ROM yet, so I need to learn, so I can retrieve that Wallpaper, of course it sure would've been alot easier if it had been in the wallpaper folder, but I'll be a good learning lesson. If i really want to customize this ROM the way I want!

I use Root Explorer. Works perfectly. I actually just used this same exact method to pull the default wallpaper from Trigger ROM.
Yeah its in the framework-Res.apk as default_wallpaper.jpg. I meant to include it and several other dark ones but must have forgotten to add them.
EDIT; I've added a zip file to the OP of Simply Honey Pro that contains the extra wallpapers I forgot to include, including the one references here.

just call me Shred
there are 2 methods that i like to use.
Using the phone as eminembdg said use root explorer (one of the most useful applications you will ever purchase for your phone) go into the system/framework directory then at the top of your screen there will be a button that says Mount r/w press that now you will be able to read and right to that directory (do not delete anything you will soft brick). now scroll down to find framework-res.apk long press and select copy then navigate to some directory on the directory /sdcard and paste.
Using the computer you will use adb. this requires that you have the android-sdk installed.
reboot phone into recovery (cwm recovery works the best)
open command prompt on computer, connect phone to pc with usb
navigate to directory where you have the android sdk then navigate to /android-sdk/platform-tools
execute the following commands
adb devices (this starts the adb daemon and allows will indicate that your phone and computer are communicating)
now execute the following command
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\<your chosen directory>
you now have the framework-res.apk on your computer
Cheers
It would be great for you , since you are interested, to try out those methods mentioned.
But... if all else fails, I could download the ROM and pull it for you, lemme know if you'd want me to do that for ya.
See my post above for easiest method.

i
With all due respect. I don't pay attention to whats posted down there when helping someone. A lot of ppl change their roms but don't change their sig.. Told ya the op would have most all the answers after all they made the rom
Thanks to ALL
To all the responders, appreciate all of ya, And Id like to pony up an apology to nomadrider123, I didnt mean to be rude, but after looking at it, [the responce] It certainly appears that way!
Anyway I got it done using a fresh download of the ROM , found the JPEG picture separated it, and uploaded it to the phone and then to my gallery, where it is now a file to be used as a wallpaper choice!
From there you choose it, and then Re-size it to fit right/save and there she is again!
Anyway Ive themed it already to a blue background, and then re-installed the Beautiful DAME as my wallpaper, and I now have a custom phone I really like and is easy on my eyes!
My only gripe now is I cant change the icons in TW, any suggestions on that?
IS TW a different animal, and needs a different software interface to MOD it?
And yes!! I'm a TW Fan. I love it! Navigates so fluidly!
I have installed on my phone ADW EX and Launcher Pro, And when I'm in TW GT Launcher I cant change the Icons, which doesn't make sense to me! So Ill figure it out or everybody here is quick with help! And Ill go with the soundest advice I get from Ya,ll! Again many thanks to all who gave!
Its a great feeling to customize my Business Tool, with minds all from all over the Globe!! Awesome community here!!
You have a couple of choices if your talking about changing your app icons. The first and simplest is to use ADW and chose a the with the icons you want. But since you like the TW launcher you'll have to change the icon of each app. You can open the AOL's just like you did to find the wallpaper. Same folder and its usually icon.PNG. if you use 7zip you can move the files around pretty easy. Just make sure and rename the new one the same as the old and stay away from the XML files unless your sure what your doing with it.
PM me if you or need more info.

Good job that only took you 16 hours. If you'd have looked about 4 or 5 posts up you'd have seen that I posted a zip file with it and others in the OP of the Simply Honey Pro thread about that long ago. I hope you didn't waste the whole day finding that.

Over the years I've grown quite fond of the News and Weather app. Unfortunately, it seems that it does not come pre-installed on the Nexus 7 so I figured I would just move it from my Galaxy Nexus to my Nexus 7. Sadly, I cannot seem to get it to work...
What I did:
Copied GenieWidget.apk from my Galaxy Nexus
Moved GenieWidget.apk to my Nexus 7's /system/app directory
Modified the permissions of the .apk to 644
Rebooted
Any ideas?
grab a new apk online
it's working on my nexus 7
and i remember simply opening the apk, not having to put it in system and edit, etc
The new apk? I assumed the apk on my JB Galaxy nexus was the newest. You see, I would really prefer to install the .apk from my phone if at all possible as it hasn't been out of my sight.
Though, if could give me a link to the apk you're referring to I would appreciate it.
On a similar note, I seem to be having the same problem with both BrowserGoogle.apk and CameraGoogle.apk.
Any other ideas...?

Seems like the easy way out. I was really hoping to get the method in the op working properly as it may be useful for other applications (see my previous post).

Have you tried installing the apk. Thats how I got it on mine. My only issue is that I can't seem to enter the settings menu for it to add my own topics.

This one just worked fine for me, though like mentioned, cannot access settings to adjust anything on it owing to the N7 not placing a menu button anywhere. Still, quite nice. Wish I could scale it a bit and customize it.
hi guys, any have the apk but with ICS transparency? Many thanks for that!!!
genie widget... not able to install by any method
I tried about 10 apks
direct install
pushed to system/app
and two zip flashed from cmw

Thank you

Hi, I've attached an ICS version that has the settings/menu button in the bottom right corner that allows you to adjust the options.
It works fine on the Nexus 7.
Hope it helps!

I didn't think I'd ever get this news app to work on my Nex 7, but it does! Feeling like Doc Brown right now-- except I didn't put in any work! Thanks, man! :highfive:
BTW, didn't need to put it in the system folder; it opened right up from the root folder (such that it is) with settings and widget available.
