Official Softbank Mail + emoji

http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/product/X/09wi/#x06ht/application
Softbank has released it's 2.2 sms/mms client enabling emoji!
i have downloaded it and it's working fine so far! Unfortunately emoji only stays in the app and not the whole system..
Try searching "softbank" in market. Maybe other people will be able to see it outside of Japan.
For people in Japan: official [email protected] is supported!

Works good with x06ht rom but on custom roms it FCs a lot

for people who are using a custom rom:
http://blog.takuo.jp/2010/10/mmsapk.html
download the mms.apk according to your rom.. remember to delete mms.odex if it's there!
this mms.apk includes iphone-like emoji

So I guess this is useless if you don't live in Japan?
Can anyone post screenshots of the emoji? Thanks!

Hi _Dennis_
Which ROM are you flashing? The original Softbank ROM? Or are you using a custom ROM?

the .apk works with the Softbank ROM update to 2.2 I put in the other thread. It was not working with 2 custom ROMs (Alex and Pays).

Screenshots!
More to follow....need to set up an account to hold my pictures.

Nice! Just included it into my custom ROM. Based on Noonski N.S.A ROM.
Works nice and smooth.
Thanks for sharing this.
Next I need the 2.2 HTC Japanese keyboard.

Just an update....seems to work fine on sense HD RCMix v 0.7.

i can receive regular sms and mms if the sender sent it to my phone number.. but if the sender sent it to my **@softbank.ne.jp i would not be able to receive it..

Did you change the user agent?
Correct MMS settings in the APN?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

do mms and data use different apn?

Is there any way to extract the emojis from this app, and enable them in the whole system ?
If someone achieves this, he will be the messiah for all people playing storm8 MMOs.

if you want to use Emoji in the whole system, your phone needs to be rooted, i think,
because you have to change ".ttf" file in /system/fonts/ folder.

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.

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.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

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?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

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.

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.

I also need on more info. I want to install Email client for SGS II. I have done it the ways I have done on other roms.
i.e. copy the Email.apk on the /system/app folder.
It did not work.
After some google search, I found about permissions, and changed the permissions to 644 using chmod and owner and group to "root" via chown. But it doesnt seem to be working.
And now I have lost original email client which came with along with the ROM.
Any Idea how to install system apps on CM7, the terminal emulator way doesnt seems to work. Unless I am missing something.

Yes battery life is still bad....

You can't install samsung based apps on Cyanogen. It's based on AOSP rather then Samsung framework. You can just get the email app from system/apps in the zip you flashed on cyanogen and just install that

i found stock roms better then cm7

[Q] Uninstalled "Apollo" from CM10.1 and now stuck in boot

Ughhh.... I uninstalled Apollo from CM10.1 which came pre installed in the gapps and I didn't want any of its bloatware so I uninstalled it with a Root Uninstaller- as soon as I uninstalled it my phone rebooted and is stuck at the CM boot animation.. This has to be like the 5th time my phone got f'ed up today. Wtf do I do now, I'm so fed up with Android nothing just works.... sooo many freakin issues

There's something else going on, uninstalling Apollo shouldn't do that.
Restore your previous set up and save flashing stuff for another day, you seem to be encountering a lot of issues today.

Yes I have the app also can you customize the quick toggle things in paranoid android?

OK I got paranoid android on my phone and kinda liking it but how do I resize widget like I could in cm - I was able to resize them however I wanted and on this its like stock that widgets can't do that

Research more, flash less for a while.

Apollo is part of CM itself and NOT in the GAPPs package. I delete it and have no issues doing so (I delete it BEFORE flashing the ROM)

Don't try to blame Android for your technical incompetence.

Before wiping everything out you could simply try to reflash cm10.1 dirty.

You have to install Visual Voicemail as it is not included in the ROM. Follow these instructions to get it back. Also it sounds like you dirty flashed, otherwise it would not be there. Any further problems will require a clean flash of the ROM by entering SafeStrap. Preform a factory reset and advanced wipe by checking Dalvik Cache, Data, Cache and System.

I did install via safe strap but I just downloaded the apk then installed. By doing it the system/apps way it got it working again. Thank you so much

I have a question about sms notifications. How do I remove the contact pictures from the notifications. I removed the stock sms app and retried both 8sms and chomp but the pictures still show. The only way they don't show is by using the privacy settings but then I can see who is texting me.

If you are on V17 it is in the settings menu under more networks/mobile networks. I had it enabled on my phone but I disabled it because I don't like it at all. The feature hasn't been removed from the ROM so it will work. Sometimes VZW takes a while to activate it.

I am on v17 but that option is not there. Does verizon need activate it or to do something on the back end before I see it at all? I already added it to my account. Please see the attached.

My mistake. I usualy don't have contact pictures so I added one to try it out. When I added it I didn't save the contact so the pic didn't show. I just tried it again and saved the contact with the pic and it dose show up in the notifications as yours dose. I don't think there is a option not to show the picture if there is one for the contact. Sorry for the confusion.

Visual Voicemail
Long-time lurker, first time poster here...
Has anyone succeeded in making the Visual Voicemail APK work properly? I've tried on multiple devices under R16 and now R19.2. If I boot to stock, VVM works great. If I boot to the ROM where I've installed the APK, it will launch, sit at "please wait while we check your account information", and then eventually error out.
Unfortunately, since I've activated the HD Audio in my Verizon account (which also activates the free version of VVM), I don't get any notifications as to having a VM waiting (since it relies on the VVM app, which isn't working!)

Few post back... On the first page.... U will have to install it using root explorer. System/ apps/ paste the apk file. Reboot.
