Hey all, searched the forums, found nothing related. I was wondering if there is any work towards a check box type selection of recipients in the AOSP messaging app (and possibly email app), or conversely adding check boxes to the contacts app for the same purpose. Any pointers would be appreciated.
TIA

Hi guys,
just an idea, I don't know if any of you devs even like the idea or if it's possible, but here it is:
One app for all messaging, i.e. SMS/MMS/e-mail. Outlook Mobile already provides this, but it is possible to view only SMS/MMS or e-mail but not all of them together in one (per contact) thread and the app looks plain ugly . What I am talking about is a one-click access to ALL received messages, with contact based threaded view, finger friendly with possibilty to write messages from inside this app. So far I was not able to find something like this, they are always only for SMS or maybe sometimes e-mail, but there is no unified solution as far as I know
An ideal solution would be something like Resco contact manager but with possibility to have all types of messages per contact in one thread and the possibility to compose messages from that app.
Anyways that's it
Post your opinions/wishes/ or solutions maybe
Hi, a friend of mine has got an HTC Wildfire, I have an Optimus One, and when he tried to sort his contacts with google, it seems like it is syncing all of his contacts, not just some group.
We have looked through the different options but I cannot find any option for group selection like in my phone. Does anyone know if it is possible? or if not if the app can be changed by some other phonebook app or dialer, that allows it like in my phone
Thanks in advance!!
Try "aTAKEphONE contact dialer" or "Dialer One" (find them in market or site 4PDA, Telephone part). I've used them myself, the second is faster.
Thanks for the answer, I will tell him to have a look on those apps
I have searched entire forum with keywords "cell" and "broadcast" both together and seperately but couldn't find any related thread.
I saw that many other Android devices have this setting under "call settings" category but u8800 -at least mine- doesn't have it.
I also looked for the stock sms client settings and Go SMS settings and there weren't either.
Anyone knows or any idea?
P.S. I have a rooted device with factory rom.
A whileback I installed TextSecure by whispersystems. I use it just for two or three contacts that I have exchanged keys with - conversations with those contacts are supposed to be secure.
However, I made the mistake back then to tick the box to use TextSecure for handling all texts coming to my device.
But, it's not that great to be used for this purpose.. the original samsung app was better I think. Or there may be even better apps.
My problem is now that I can't revert back to my original text app - there's no way to load the messages that TextSecure has into the original app as far as I can tell
Any ideas?
Hello fellow Blade lovers. My apologies if this topic has already been posted in the Blade section... I did a few keyword searches to check first, but didn't find anything, so thought I might make a post just in case others are having the same problem. Hopefully many of you will be loving and using KitKat for the trusty Blade brought to us by the amazing Zeelog over in Modaco.
If you are coming from another ROM you will most likely be backing up all your apps, call/text logs and other things. Whilst doing this process one of the minor problems I found was the change in permissions of how SMS messaging works in KitKat and how this affects SMS Backup/Restore apps - namely that when restoring text messages they don't re-appear. To be clear, this is nothing to do with Zeelog, this is a change to the way KitKat deals with messaging.
I cannot take any credit for this information - I did some searching on the internet and found a few different sites discussing this issue and possible solutions. All I am doing here is just highlighting the way to get it working specific to Zeelog's KitKat for Blade users when using the app SMS Backup+ by Jan Berkel. Of course, any ROM that has the 'App Ops' functionality will be able to employ this same fix. The theory would suggest that it would work for other similar SMS backup apps as well, but I have only tested it with this app. In brief (and from what I can make out), it relates to a change in KitKat where only the default designated SMS application has permissions to write to the SMS database.
In order to get it working, you need 'App Ops' - which Zeelog's KitKat has. So here is what you do after installing SMS Backup+ but before you use it to restore your text messages:
Go into Settings>Privacy
Go into the first option Privacy Guard
Press the MENU button (or select the 3 square dots top right on the screen) and select Advanced
Scroll to the right twice so you get to the MESSAGING section
Scroll down until you find SMS Backup+ and then select it
Scroll down until you find the parameter Write SMS DB and you will see it is set to DENIED
Change it to ALLOWED
That's it. Now when you restore your call and text logs you will get all your text messages back. From what I can see, there is no reason why you cannot leave it set to ALLOWED. Looking at the features of SMS Backup+, you can automate backups but not automate restores, so I cannot see any reason for putting it back to DENIED. I cannot comment on any other backup/restore apps as this is my app of choice - but I guess that if you are not sure then DENY it once you have restored your logs. Hope this helps.
It just occurred to me that if you are using a ROM which doesn't have 'App Ops' available, you could always installed Xposed, then install the App Ops module.
