[Q] Blurred Outgoing messages with Cyanogenmod 7.1.. help?? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched this and cannot get a solid answer, and I googled it, but its not talked about really except for incoming messages and I tried those fixes and it didn't work.
I am using Cyanogenmod 7.1 and all of my outgoing messages are blurred.
I tried the method of using the custom user agent, but it did not work, any ideas?
Thanks!!

Can you be more specific on 'blurred'?
A screenshot would be very helpful in seeing exactly what it's doing.

Here is the same screen shot, one is the one that is what I sent to my friend and is in my outgoing message, the other is the original screenshot in my gallery.

So outgoing picture messages are blurred?
Are they blurred when you look at them or do they get blurred when they reach the recipient?

Well when I load it into the message to be sent it looks fine. I then click send and it goes out. Then if I open it in the message to see what was sent it is blurred. And the person who recieves gets a blurry picture too. It has to have something to do with the messaging since it looks fine untilled it actually gets sent.

I've got 2 possible fixes.
1, your messaging program has a setting in it that reduces the size of your picture messages in order to use less data when sending or receiving. I can't begin to guess where to tell you to look in settings since I don't know what messaging program you are using. But that's my best guess.
2, your messaging program is fubar for some reason so try a different message program.

hmmm... Well I did look around a bit in the messaging program to try and find any setting that would reduce the size, but I didn't find anything, that's why I asked here hoping others would have had this problem as well.
Anyway thanks for trying!

Try another messaging app and see if that fixes it. Even if you hate the new app, if it fixes it you'll know the problem is in your messaging app.
I recommend Go SMS. But there's like 9 billion to choose from on the market. Most are free.

If I back up with Titanium Backup and reflash then I can reload my phone to how it was before after I flash it, correct?

Yes, you can. You'll also want to save your ADW settings separately. There's an option in the ADW menu to backup settings. That'll bring your icons and widgets back to the right places on your screens, plus any other settings you have.
You don't need to remember where you saved it. The new copy of ADW will know where to look for it on the SD card.
Just be sure not to use Titanium Backup to replace your messaging app! I've done that before, where something couldn't be fixed so I reflashed the ROM, then promptly reinstalled the bad version of the app because I wasn't paying attention.

thank you!

It's a size/dimension restriction in the stock messaging app that causes your pictures to be sent blurry. I had to stay off CM7 for a few months because of that. Check out TDJ's new CM7.2 ROM/kang. He has fixed this issue by increasing the stock messasging app restrictions on size and dimensions, so they do not get compressed and blurry.

No, flashing just the kernel will not fix it. The settings are within the Messaging app itself , so you have to either pull the apk from TDJ's CM7.2 ROM and push it to yours, or flash the ROM. I advise you to just flash TDJ's ROM, it is fantastic.

One other thing, when i press the phone icon in the launcher bar it says that the needed application isn't installed. Can i clear these settings to use stock Desire dialer? Or can i download the Dell dialer somewhere?

It looks really nic, but I'm having the same issues (facebook problem+phone icon) + when I try to set up an email account it says "com.dell.launcher has stopped unexpectedly"..
would be great to be able to scroll upd and down in the music widget instead of showing 12 random albums..
It wont recognise the phone app because the froyo launcher only recognises the stock Android dialer, which can't be installed on HTC phones. Made a thread on this, Google search stock froyo launcher HTC desire and its the first one. Haven't tried it with this dell skin yet, just got everything sorted on my on phone so not gonna mess with it for a good while!

SMS Preview on Lockscreen

I love the SMS preview on the bottom of the lockscreen of Sense ROMs.
Sadly, SkyRaider Sense 4.0 doesn't have this feature anymore. I love the ROM but I'm trying to find a workaround for it.
I've tried SMS Popup with Widgetlocker, which works, but I don't like getting popups when I'm using my phone, reading email, etc.
I just want a SMS preview of some sort on the lockscreen so I can quickly check to see the beginning of a text I receive without having to unlock my phone.
Does anyone have any ideas for me?
Much appreciated...
EDIT: I thought of a possible fix. Maybe I can find a widget which displays new, unread SMS messages? Then I can put it on my lockscreen using widgetlocker. Sound good? Any recommended widgets?
EDIT 2: Found a widget that works but....I'd rather not see my last SMS always on my lockscreen. ugh...there's gotta be a fix!! I just want the HTC lockscreen

I believe thats it. We need the HTC lockscreen back. The one in SkyRaider is from CM7. The HTC option is really just a skinned Lense style.

Ya, I'm wondering if there's a way to just import the stock HTC lockscreen.
In Incredibly Re-Engineered, there were multiple lockscreens too and to restore the default, the dev said:
(Note: To enable the HTC Lockscreen, navigate to "system/app" using root explorer; Find "HtcLockscreen.bak" and rename it to "HtcLockscreen.apk" and then perform a Hot Restart)
Is there any way for us to port that HtcLockscreen.apk and get it to work on SkyRaider?

one thing you could try is to take the htclockscreen.apk from the stock rom somewere on these forums and putting it in skyraider 4.0 system/app.

I got htclockscreen.apk from Nothing Special, but I have the plain version, which is still odexed. So it also has htclockscreen.odex. Should I go get the one out of peanut (Deodexed)? Or does it matter?

take the one from peanut just in case i'm not sure what the difference is between odex vs deodexed but i do know odex files are user smaller in size so try the peanut since skyraider 4 to my knowledge isn't odexed.
Alright, I'm going to try the one from Peanut. It's deodexed, and SkyRaider 4.0 is deodexed too. Both from the Nov. OTA. I'm just wondering if it will interfere with SR. Guess I'll find out soon.
Edit. Seems like SkyRaiders lock screen overrides it. Need to figure out how to remove it first.

Let me know if you have any luck with the HTC lockscreen.
I've been trying to get used to the CM7 style lockscreen in Skyraider and it's got some cool features that might make me stick with it.
Just wondering though...when I get a text, I'll get an SMS preview at the top in the notification bar, but unless I check my phone right away, I won't see the quick preview. Is there any way to have the preview at the top wait for me to unlock the phone before it goes away?
Yes, but it fails of course. Maybe ihtfp69 can release another feature add-on for the HTC lockscreen.

Disabling the Lock Screen

None of the apps I've tried from the Market have worked, so I'm wondering if there's a file somewhere I can either change permissions on, rename to a .bak file or some other form of hackery in order to disable the lock screen. If anyone knows how to do it, I would really appreciate the tip!

I'm sorry...I'm using the stock ROM. I also tried NoLock, but it kept force closing once setting it, and wouldn't work. Since you got it to work, I'll try it again, maybe clearing data once I install it might help.

Remove User Account Picture

Hi all,
Under the Quick Settings pull down menu, the first button is the User Account. It shows the user's name and profile picture(if there is one). I've associated a picture with the user profile; but a while later, even after I removed/deleted the picture, the picture still shows up under the Quick Settings pull-down. My question is, is it possible to have the icon revert back to the default android user icon(below)?

Not sure then. Mine is from Google + profile pic so if I delete it then it removes the picture in the quick toggles.

Addressing MMS:
It fails to retrieve but it seems like it sends pictures just fine. I have sent pictures to myself but have to change messaging apps to retrieve them. Occasionally, it will give me an APN error of some sort.
Guys go to the link I posted on the first page (2nd post of this thread). That's the source of this app. It belongs to Team BlackOut. If you want to follow the actual development of this app, and not report bugs to some random person just sharing the app who hasn't replied back to this thread once, go there. There's probably newer versions since this OP posted this anyways.
