Since it appears my thread got deleted by the database error. I am restarting it.
The problem is, if in the stock sense text messaging app and have a conversation open, the phone will not give notification on a new message if one comes in, no matter is the screen is off or on.
Its been reported that this bug was not in 2.1, but I have no way to confirm that. What I did do though, is pull the MMS.apk from a 2.1 rom. Renamed the current MMS.apk and MMS.odex to MMS.apk.old and MMS.odex.old in System/Apps. Then copied over the MMS.apk from the 2.1 build. After a reboot I had no signs of the messaging app. So thats not a direct solution.
Maybe the MMS.apk can be modified some how to re-enable this feature.

Running DamageControl v1.0
Just updated radio from Geekfor.me
After updating the radio my Handcent wouldn't let me open any conversations but would pull up the Conversations List just fine. When I click a convo it force closes. The stock Messages app won't open correctly, I just get a endless loading circle. I can still receive and even send messages via the handcent pop-up.
Another thing to know: I was running Gumbo (Android 1.5 based) a few days ago and backed up all my sms messages via Kitchen 1.04. Yesterday I installed DCv1 and then restored my messages via Kitchen but it they didn't show up. I kind of expected this because kitchen doesn't support 2.1. After updating to the latest radio baseband 2.x.x.x.x.x from Fresh the messages appear in the list (in Handcent) but I can't open them as I stated above.
cleared all the caches and data from handcent. Can't do any of that stuff for Messages app. don't know whats goin on. Also did the UID mismatch thing and that was no help.
Help please.
I don't like the HTC Messaging app much because there are too many bugs with it. I don't like Handcent SMS either (the option list is a mile long). I wanted to switch to the stock Android Messaging App.
So what I've tried thus far was to install the stock one, but that obviously didn't work because it tries to override Mms.apk (the HTC one) and since I don't have root, it can't write to /system. So I found that someone on XDA ran into a similar problem and found a way to rename the stock Android Mms package to Mmz and install it without root. Here's the thread: hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=675914 (replace hxxp with http)
I was able to install it but when launching the app, I get a Force Close dialog. I looked up the error log and the error is:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.android.mmz/com.android.mmz.ui.ConversationList}:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Binary XML file line #4: You must supply a layout_width attribute at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2649)
...
Anyone have any ideas? I would really like to get the stock Messaging on here.
is it possible to run a non-sense messaging/mms program in a sense rom?
like the stock messaging program that comes in the cnayagenMod roms
is this possible?
while i like the sense things the stock message program in non-sense rom seems to be way faster than handcent or chompsms
I think so, google it. There was a apk floating around that could be installed through astro file manager.

any help on what to google? like the name of the particular .apk?
well the file on both AOSP and Sense roms is called "MMS.apk" But when I had my hero and searched for it, someone renamed it to "MMZ.apk." So you can try that, or you can try taking MMS.apk from an AOSP rom and pushing it to your phone. If you decide to do option 2, make sure that as soon as you do it you send yourself a text message, just to see if you can still receive them.
Hello,
Quick inquiry with regards to a minor complication when attempting to flash a custom theme to a Sony Xperia X10.
The device has been rooted successfully and is currently running Wolfbreaks CM 6.1.3 v053.
I have attempted to flash a custom theme titled "Galaxy S for CyanogenMod 6.1.1 Stable". Everything functions perfectly thus far. Other then the fact that upon reboot an error messages specifies that Gmail has ceased unexpectedly.
The exact message displayed is quoted as "The application Gmail (process com.google.android.gm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Although this message displays consistently upon each attempt to restart the program. Also automatically once the device initializes from a reboot or shutdown. The theme was flashed via xrecovery as custom zip. As per instructions "cmparts_ui.xml" was transferred to /sdcard/CMTheme and selected from the Tweaks menu.
(Thread referenced: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876600)
This problem did not occur originally when CM 6.1.3 was flashed. Would resolution be a matter of reflashing Cyanogenmod? or as simple as updating the application itself within the market? I can not locate any original files to flash back to the provided theme packaged with the most recent 6.1.3 mod and I can only surmise that doing so would resolve this issue.
Final note would be the process one would take to uninstall such custom themes. I've noticed deleting the .xml file from the sd card does remove it from the tweaks menu. However does this procedure ensure deletion of all associated files? Or is there a proper method to ensure complete removal is successfully accomplished?
Any feedback with respect to this particular theme including whether or not it would be necessarily recommended is much appreciated. This wouldn't be my first flash/root/modification or customization of a device. However this is my first Xperia X10. So I do want to make sure I am being as accurate as possible to avoid any future complications.
Thanks for everyones time and attention.
*Although on the plus side I'm able to transfer my contacts from a SIM card directly to the device with this current version of firmware. Such feature was greyed out in the menu initially
the theme probably has a custom gmail apk in it. which is either broken or incompatible with 6.1.3.
try opening wb's 6.1.3 with 7zip and pull the gmail.apk from that rom. copy it to your sd card, then use root explorer to copy it to /system/app. give it the correct permissions and reboot. problem should be fixed.
hello
thanks for your reply. your instructions sounded quite logical and i assumed id have no complications. i copied the app as per your instructions. overwrote the existing entry when prompted. however upon reboot gmail has been removed off the home screen.
attempting a manual install either within the system/app directory or through the sd card returns an unable to install error message.
ive gone ahead and downloaded the gmail app from the market. which thankfully does install. it is functioning and installs successfully to the device.
presumably anyone experiencing this same issue should download the app from the market very strange occurrence indeed.
my only other issue currently is the GPS functionality. switching on the gps displays no indicator within the toolbar. location based services seem not to pick up a location what so ever.
im hopeful this isnt a result of flashing this particular theme. any suggestions?
If you have flashed a framework etc for that theme (using xrec) it won't reverse if you delete that xml file in the sd card.
If you want to go back to original make a copy of that theme xrec and replace its apks with the apks from the ROMs xrec zip. Then flash it.
And if you want to use the theme and also the gmail apk look and feel (theme). Try replacing original gmail apks .png images, which are in drawable-hdpi etc. folders, with the themes gmail apk images.

after you copied to /system/app, did you change permissions?
the theme may not have a status_gps.png icon or, it's the same color as your status bar.
the app never requested a permission change. upon trying to start originally would just return error.
this was resolved by downloading directly from the market. my only issue now is what to do with the gps connectivity? as it does not seem to be returning a location. the only other thing ive noticed is the default camera app does not zoom.
im trying to assess whether any of this is a result of having changed the theme to the galaxy s cm 6.1 mentioned in the initial post, and how to go about fixing these issues to avoid having to flash back to the original cm6 stock theme.
** GPS has been fixed and is fully functional. Single issue remains with regards to camera not zooming what so ever. Although now attempting an upgrade to CM7. Thanks everyone
hi
yesterday it worked for sure
today my mi-a1 asked me to restart due to system update
and now when i click on any link in the messages app it crashes
i also tried to open the messages through contacts+ app, clicking the links there also made it crash
i also updated the messages app to try and solve it, it didn't help
please check it on your phones
can you help?
1. Are You on stock, modified stock (rooted, magisk,...) or custom ROM?
2. Is it Your messaging app or web-browser that crashes?

don't know what it means, the one that comes with the phone as i bought it
2. Is it Your messaging app or web-browser that crashes?

Click to collapse
its the messaging app that crashes not the browser, when i click on a link it doesn't get to the part when it opens the browser, it crashes b4 that part probably
just to be clear, like i get a text message from someone, i open the messages app and click on the text that is actually a link, then it crashes
Me and my friends have the same issue with the messages app and links clicking. Always getting an error message and the app getting crashed.
Is there any solution?
Yay, I'm not alone with this problem
Now maybe someone will look into it
My by pass solution is, you have to copy the entire text from that message cause you can't copy just the link, it will crash
So copy the entire message to a notes app
Then from it copy the link to a browser
Not fun at all, but it works…
I have the same problem. Not a rooted phone.
Please tell me if you have any solution.
Solved :cleared the data of the app
Settings- apps--data - clear data.
your'e a ****en genius!!!
it worked!!
i also noticed that this links problem happens in a couple of my apps on the phone, don't remember which right now
but when i'll see it i'll just go to clear its data :good:
