Please let me know if you find a better solution. It took me a while to find this but the mms pics i recieve are normal sized now. I think you need to be rooted and have root explorer, at least i did. Read this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648396
All I did was go into system/app and delete MMS.apk and replace it with the Mms_3.apk you can dowload in that link. Then go to the settings in your messaging (you might need to reboot first) and you will have additional setting you can adjust. At the bottom you can use a Custom User Agent. I use the N95. I havent tried any of the others. Anyway...thats it! Thee are other settings you can change that really make the messaging app better..No need for Handcent anymore!
Let me know if you need more help and how it works out! Good luck.

Thanks Marty I want to try that but my Streak isn't rooted and I'm not sure that I want to root it just yet.

Hmmm....grrrr.... I made a backup of the original Mms.apk to my sdcard...
deleted it from /system/app.
Tried to install Mms_3.apk and it says UPDATE INCOMPATIBLE!!!
I'm on ATT 2.1 O2 ROM....
I tried to re-install the original Mms.apk but it says:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]
I've tried installing with adb, astro, and super task manager...all a no go...
Now I'm stuck with no MMS!!! Grrrr...
Any ideas on how to get it re-installed!?!
Thanks
I used Root Explorer and had no problem. I even switched back and forth once to see if I could go back to the original. Are you rooted?
Marty
Also did you reboot?
yup! rebooted a number off times.
Are you rooted? If so try root explorer. I can send you my original MMS.apk if you would like.
Marty
OMG!
I was renaming Mms_3.apk to Mms.apk...as soon as I kept the name the same...it worked!!!
Sheeesh...
Thanks!
Sorry i wasn't more clear on that. Yes you have to leave it MMS_3.apk
I tried this on my 1.6 OS and it didn't work. I follow the instructions to a t and didn't rename the file.
Basically, when I replace it, I lose the Messaging Icon. I can't find it anywhere...
Help please...
You have to go back in and install it, I'm on 1.6 on a Streak and it wouldnt install for me though.
Thanks for the help...I just installed Handcent and called it the day...

does the mms_3.apk work on 2.2? I tried loading it. rebooted. and I got multiple faid to load errors.
thanks!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I tried again. It loads and I can access the sms/mms... But as soon as I try to send a text it fails. And because its waiting to be sent, it continues to crash the program.
So if someone could figure out how to fix the sending part of it. It should work!
Yes the small mms image bug is still prevelant on 2.2.

R u running Damage 2.1v2? If ur running his latest Sprint build vvm should work. Mine works like a charm... u should be able to take the apk from 1.1 since the app hasn't been updated in ages lol. Just push it to system/apps using Fresh Pre Kitchen, reboot, wallah!

I do not have a link, however if you download one of the roms that has VVM you can extract and push the file Sprint_Core.apk to /system/app. I accidentally removed it from DC2.0r2 and had to push it and it worked. but that rom was meant to have VVM.
Edit: Just uploaded file. (I think, lol first attempt.) http://www.4shared.com/dir/35253414/d223e4c4/sharing.html

Did it work for you? And what rom are you using?
Just installed the vvm apk from damage to the fresh 2.02b rom and visually its working like a charm. Have to which my settings over from gv to see if it'll actually receive messages. But thanks for the actual apk name because I had been looking for the vvm apk under the app name.

Yes I accidentally pulled the apk while shrinking the original rom too as it was not listed in my apps. So i made a copy of the rom that i flashed(needs to be one built off of official sprint rom i.e. any of the 1.5s or damage's latest 2.1 leak) then i unzipped the copy onto the desktop for simplicity. Went into system/apps/ found the Sprint_Core.apk and used fresh's pre-kitchen to push the file to system/apps on the phone. Just reboot and viola! I'm on Damage's new 2.1 Sprint leak btw.
A lil ot but can anyone confirm the link I provided is working? I try clicking it and it takes me to my 4shared acct.

If I remember right it is your phone # (123-456-7890) No 1 before and use your area code.

Is it coming out of the era piece or whatever you call the thing. It's automatically setup to go throught that.

I learned the hard way. Called sprint, chatted with them to no avail. i could not remove conditional call forwarding. The kept telling me *720..
It didn't work. *730 and *720 will remove call forwarding. You have to do both if you did*28
hey working method to install This Should Work "Worked for me anyways"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can alway make a back up of build.prop by making a copy and renameing it to build.prop.bak fyi
"the value in build.prop where it says something like VVM=true needs to be set to false, then you can grab it from the market.
just searched...
its about 3/4 of the way down, saying vvm is preloaded, change it to false." "all pulled from another post somewhere"
this has worked for me again after changing up to GummyJar 2.5
ohh and change permissions for Vvm.apk in root explorer just ck them all thats what i did and the attached file has everything done but permissions and placement of files goodluck and dont forget to make a backup & reboot
1 mount system/apps R/W
2 place vvm.apk in system/apps
3 change permissions "ck them all even tho the first two user ones and the first 1 on the other 2 should be good"
4 make backup of build.prop you already have by renameing it to build.prop.bak
5 place attached build.prop "came from Droid2" to system or just make a copy of your own open it with notepad on your PC and edit it
6 reboot should be installed in the app drawer
Goodluck and hope that was detailed enough
this method has worked on my Droid 2 and my Droid 2 Global and someone elses Droid X it should work for you too
Hey all i rooted my fascinate (thank you Dirrk) and applied the lag fix and all was well for about 2 days then yesterday all of a sudden my phone froze up while opening an attachment so i had to pull the battery when i restarted the phone it acted like it had not been activated but it still was it also fc's just about any application that isnt native to the device i have tried re rooting with no luck and im afraid to factory because i have removed some apps in root explorer by renaming them to bak and i can not load root explorer to rename them back because SU fcs on me every time any help would be much appreciated
thank you for your help i figured it out i edited an apk i shouldnt have had to access it threw adb and rename it back sorry for wasting thread space
Remove the lagfix,(just a guess) then any programs that u got from the market and then re install them. Just worth a shot. Would have to see it

Got my phone on Friday, running Eclair today!
Love it, you folks are awesome!
Question: Can I get rid of the installed SMS and substitute one I like better?
How do I remove the one that came in the software? It says "Launch by default", can I get it to not do that?
Do you have a favorite SMS program?
Thanks,

U can extract the zip on ur computer and delete the .apks u don't want and rezip it and flash it

OK, that makes sense, thanks!
I also figured out that it can be done in Titanium by simply touching the application, a box pops up, and you can select remove from device. This may be obvious to some, but I am learning as I go here.
I tried that but failed so I just do what I said

I tried to use SGS Tools to push the stock email apk from the Galaxy tab and it failed due to "not enough space." I tried to push the stock email back with SGS tools and it says success but force closes when open, and the icon has the green @ on it. I have tried to put back a saved copy I had but it seems I'm missing the email.odex file. I have one but every time I try to push it, it comes back saying "not enough space."
Any thoughts? Starting to freak a little...need email for work!
This one should work.
You need to use Root Explorer from the market if you don't already have it. Once you put the attachment onto your sd card go into R.E. and click on sd card. Scroll down to email.apk (longpress) then click on move. Hit the back button twice, click on system, then app and click paste. One last step, long press it again and click on permissions the first one should have both read & write checked the remaing two should just have the read checked.
Push the email.apk to system/app and assign proper permissions. If no big deal for you, reflash the rom. My 2c.

If you follow my steps above you shoudn't have a problem. I also tried to use the Gtab email and got stuck and of course from SGS Tools it won't let you revert back like it states.

Okay that one worked, however I can't connect to my outlook with it. I double checked to make sure the server is up and it is. So...I guess it doesn't actually work lol.
Anyone able to maybe copy their email.odex and I can try putting that in there???
Sorry, I'm not sure what to do in that case. Good luck, I'm sure someone can help.
I think I figured it out. SGS Tools made me download and install a different Busybox from the market. Using the android terminal emulator I keyed in:
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
Went back to Titanium Backup and used the Problems? button to re-install busybox, then moved the email.odex and email.apk and I'm back up and running! Hopefully if anyone else ever has a issue like this you can learn from my mistakes...or just do your research before trying to push something new to your phone that you know nothing about...
Good to know, glad you got it working.

I have the same issue. I fixed permissions with Rom Manager, rebooted and the email worked fine for about 5 minutes then it started FCing again. I liked the tab email and would like to keep it. Can anyone tell me how to fix this FC issue?

Hey guys. I know that there is an available atrix update, but I don't want to update. Att keeps sending me annoying messages to update. How do I get this to stop?

It's easy to block the update if you don't want to lose root and also want to get rid of the annoying messages.
Just rename the otacerts.zip and cacerts.bks certs in system/etc/security.
The update will download (you must let it download), but fail the auth check and not install.
This also turns off the reminder notifications.
Easily reversible if you want to get updates later.

I have the same problem. It tells me I don't have permission to rename the files when I try. And I can't find them using my PC.

NVM. AS I POST THIS, Root explorer has decided to kick ass and rename it when I click the "Mount R/w" button at the top.
glad i saw this, i was going to ask the same question. thanks
Thank you for the tip. It works.
Another way of doing it is to freze updater 2.2.1 and upgrade app 2.2.1 with tit backup. Or so i've read
I tried that my self and it seems to work. I aint sure if the freze stick or not if booting though...
weird, i downloaded it but never installed it. i changed those two files posted above and it still just gave me the install screen of if i want to install now or later

Try my method if you're rooted. Works! I haven't got any prompts about doing anything after freezing the apps.

Download antek app manager its free. Then freeze com.Motorola. blur.updater. or look for updater and freeze that.
