[FIX] MMS Failed Pic Messaging (Possibly)

Anyone care to try this to confirm it works???
Heres how I fixed it....
Somewhere along the way I saved an mms.apk. I think from JI6 or something else. It was my last mms that worked anywho...So I used Root Explorer and moved my AOSP mms out of system/app and moved mms.apk into its place and set permissions rw-r--r-- and sent a pic message and it went thru. So I then put the AOSP mms from the OP(Bionix-v) back into the system/app and reset permissions to rw-r--r-- and tried it again and it works now.
Someone also said to export contacts to sim and use those but didn't need to try that route.
***Edit Wife tried the export contacts....didn't work for her
So ..find an mms.apk that worked for you last (ugly blue & yellow bubbles) and try it. Astro , Super Manger and the like should work
Make sure to move your current MMS.apk out or copy it so that you can place it back to see if it works (I used the AOSP because I dont like the stock mms)
Ugly Stock MMS that worked for me http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5S45Z54B

Added link to stock mms that worked for me..

My MMS wasn't working. I installed GoMMS, sent one message, uninstalled GoMMS and now default MMS works fine...

Hmmm.. so maybe the code gets broken somewhere along the line and inducing another mms.apk or mms app and then going back fixes the issue.

what rom are you using? I have never had an issue with MMS using Stock rom.

I ve only ever used Team Whiskey ROMs.. from original Bionix to Fusion to Obsidian/Nero etc etc... and Stock. My wife has this problem coming from JI6 OTA to KA6 Kies.. I had this problem on every ROM other then JI6 OTA and I'm on Bionix V.. I fixed mine by doing what I posted in the OP...wife doesn't want her's rooted or anything other than stock.

well I upgrade from JI6 to KA6 using Kies and I don't have an issue with MMS...what issue are you having? blurry pics?

Another method that worked for me was to go into "manage applications" and "clear data" for the messaging app. Of course, it deleted all my messages, but I don't hang on to them, so it didn't matter to me.
YMMV

Black GMail

Hey Guys,
I really like the option to turn the SMS MMS app into black in cyanogen so i replaced my oxygen app with the one from cyan7. But is there a way to get a black GMail app? Or did i just not find that option?
Thx a lot!!!

Would be nice if someone could make a 2.3 based black one. The text is black so you would have to edit the xml files to make the text white or light grey.
Ive tried this before on other apps, but unfortunately it is beyond me.

If you guys can send me a complete apk of gmail app and the xml file i'll have a go at making one for you .. Can't promise anything but i can give it a whirl

thx too, exactly what i wanted

I get a not installed error.
UPDATE: I tried uninstalling Gmail and installing mikep99's apk and it still failed. I did get the droidforums version to install.

On a slightly related note, I've installed the black Mms.apk from the C7 via adb but it keeps reverting to the regular one on reboots. Any ideas?
EDIT: I pushed via adb and set the permissions and it's all good.

Thanks for your work! Black GMail would be awesomesauce! However I've tried to install it and I get "not installed" error. I'm using Redux 1.0 ROM. I didn't uninstall original GMail app first because uninstall button isn't enabled and it can't be pressed. I'm sure this is what causes error, any idea how get rid of GMail?

Use ADB if you're not S-OFF to remove Gmail.apk from /system/app then push the black one I posted to /system/app.
Make sure the permissions are the same as the other apps in that location.
Boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache and reboot.
If you're S-OFF you can do the above through root explorer or similar...
Should be ok.

Brilliant thanks for that. Its not quite black, but the text is white, so possibliy I can edit the grey to black if it is controlled by .png files. It is version 2.3 too, which is the latest version that works for me.

Thanks. Its not the same as yours is 2.3.2, which doesnt work for me unfortunately. The other is 2.3.

Hi,
can I use this apk on my Desire rooted and without any rom??

I run CM 7 RC (Honeybred theme) and as much dark as possible (although never only black). I try to get working as much as possible from the brilliant dark mods in here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/blacked-out/
There's updated GMail apks available there too.

You need a ROM to run your phone and this apk. What are you trying to do?

here its a flashebal ZIP
you can flash this , i did it over miui , cm7 , sens roms , and it's working
it's not my work , so don't tank me

and also you can extract the apk , replace the gmail app it in the SYS/APP folder
and flash you rom , it will work also

Yep and unlike 2.3.2, it actually works. I liked the 2.3 one I was using but would have preferred grey for unread email and black for read email not the other way around.

Thanks, this will help make Android more unified.

[Q] MMS are not sending out anymore, Any idears?

Long time reader, first time poster!
So I've been switching between Cm mod and the stock rom a few times yesterday. When I tried sending out a few mms (video and/or pictures) and it seems to stop working now...I've read i may need to reinstall the stock mms.apk pack but I don't even know where to begin!
Is there any ideas where I should go from here?

what ROM are you currently on? What are you using to send the MMS?

I have a similar problem on CM7 using Handcent. MMS don't send, but do come through most (if not all) of the time.

So instead of tinkering with the problem, I backed everything up and went with mik's re-engineered rom with a 1.5ghz overlcock kernel. I appreciate the suggestions though, Thanks!

I'll (try) to help;
1st: Using adb, push the mms.apk from Cm7 to /system/app on your wildfire
2nd: Reboot your phone and you should have the CM7 sms app
Do try and tell if you encounter any problems

Installing mms.apk like any other app might not work. (Says problem parsing the package).
And even if u replace it into sense rom.zip and flash through custom recovery, it might not work. Checked with an old sense rom. Don't know about latest ones.
Maybe due to the reasons,
CM7 is 2.3 Aosp and sense rom is 2.2
Sense Messaging app has sense HTC widget.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

You need to replace the Mms.apk of your ROM.
You need to copy the CM7 Mms.apk to /system/app and reboot your phone.
Use root explorer or another file explorer with root permissions to do that.

try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660405
it is pure black.

the problem is this thing:
"I have not tested on ICS but bug mentioned is that id does not find the Contact Names. I will build another version for ics, probably based on the latest Cyanogenmod Messaging for ICS."
and iam running the ICS 4.0.4 aurora
still i found this !
