I recorded sound from the sound recorder and tried to send it via stock messaging however I get an error file size to large however the file size is only 633.8 kb and 649,025 bytes file is a. M4a I tried renaming it to a mp3 but still no luck I have exposed installed is there any setting or module I can I install or change to make this work?
Also please note I am unable to use another messaging app due to me using the gear 2 neo watch

Yes it's possible as a lot of custom ROMs modify the maximum MMS file size. Search XDA for details, but I believe that it would be done by decompiling the stock app and editing the value in mms_config.xml. Alternately you may be able to find a modified copy of the stock MMS app to the same effect.

OK thanks been searching around but so far no luck... Least I know it's possible just have locate a resolution now.

Well I don't know how you aren't finding anything. I just did half a dozen searches and even poor keyword choices pull up results.
But anyway, go read the descriptions of some custom S5 ROM support threads. A lot of them list as a feature that they have modified the stock MMS size limit. The modified apk will be in the custom ROM.
If you don't intend to install their full ROM, respect their hard work and ask the Dev for permission to use his modified apk, rather than just steal it. And don't forget to click the thanks button in his thread too. I noticed that you aren't consistent on doing that when people help you and it is the absolute least that you should be doing to acknowledge them.

hi!
in order to test something, i need to replace the build.prop in root/system with a modified one. but trying to delete this file with astro manager displays an error message, and just copying the modified build.prop over the old one doesn't work too (nothing happens).
so my question is: how do you replace such a file?
thanks in advance for your help
are you serious!?!?!?
If the build.prop is located on the Android folder IT HAS TO BE A SYSTEM FILE !!!
if you mod the system files you could break android or the system just won't let you do it, you will need R and W privileges to do that.
edit the system files from your PC or just boot up in to windows mobile.
use some common scene next time.
hope it helps!

Do you use a cyanogen build?
yes and there is already a cyanogen rom posted with the proper build.prop fixed, so you won't have to edit anything, just search for it.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
mmmh actually cyanogen made things easy to replace a system file, just copy your file into sdcard/android/root/system and reboot.
thanks for your help / posts. but unfortunately they're not helpful.
yes, i am serious! and yes, of course it's a system file. i know as well that modification might brick android.
there are reasons for modifying this file. some people seem to be able to, e.g. for chaning screen point density or modify the data passthrough.
so, please tell me, how can i edit/modify a system file from pc or windows mobile when its within the data.img-file?
thanks for any tips / hints on this.
use root explorer

Thank you VERY much for your help - I finally got it to work by listening your instructions. It is simply different if you have HD2 and plus CM mod. That figures why it was going back all the time to 180 instead of changing it - because it runs from sd card and that's where it needs to be replaced as well ...

Hi there, I'm planning on changing my icons here and there and since the apkreplacer in the zip crap doesn't seem to function for me I thought I'd just modify the apk files but I remember reading before that before sent again, they need to be signed.
What is everyone's best recommendation for doing this? What's the best and safest way to push them back to phone? I want to replace 1 icon each on those 3 files.
No one really knows whether these files should be signed or not?
Use apk manager .its useful for all your needs including signing.search for it in xda.

Thanks but what about sending the files back? Do I need to set any permissions for them or I just send them normally like I do with framework-res.apk and all those.
Hello, all...
I've asked this question in the leak thread, but it moves so fast that I don't think a lot of attention is being paid to it.
So, I'll try to make it quick. When I installed Beans's pre-rooted 4.4.2 leak ROM, I realized that the emoji being displayed in Hangouts were different - not the typical Google emoji, but more similar to the emoji that you find in Go!Messenger, Handcent, and other SMS apps that support emoji.
I suspect that Samsung has included their own emoji, and had them baked into Hangouts, but I can't seem to fix it. Even by removing hangouts and installing it from the Play Store, or restoring from Titanium Backup.
When I choose to add a smiley in a Hangout... I can see them in the list... but when I pick one, it switches to some other (samsung's?) version of it in the text box, as well as the conversation. My friends see the normal one on their end... and likewise when they send me one, it shows up as the alternative.
Is anyone else seeing this issue? I'd think that I would have seen it mentioned.
I found a thread on an HTC device that advised a user with a similar issue to rename a stock font, and I tried a similar approach, with no results.
With my DPI changed to 320, I can't even tell what emoji are being used, as this new brand is much smaller than the standard ones.
This bugs me. I want the google emoji back.
Any help? Thanks!

I would love to know how to fix this as well
bump.
I've succeeded in breaking it even worse. Through some hellish combination of renaming some fonts with "emoji" in the name in /system/fonts... and using the font installer in ROM Toolbox Pro to hack things up even worse... I now just have standard non-color (black lines on background) emoji in hangouts. ugh!
Can't someone smarter than me tell me how to fix this?

Put the two .ttf files in your /system/fonts folder (backup originals if you want) and change permission to -rw-r--r--
Put the .xml file in your /system/etc folder (again, backup original if you want) and change permission to -rw-r--r--
Reboot phone, and hopefully everything works fine

That was your first post? I'm honored to have popped your xda cherry.
I tried the switching and renaming of fonts biz... and it hasn't worked. However, the mention of this xml file is new to me.
Can you elaborate? When/where/how did you learn of this approach?

I didn't like the stock emoji on the Note 3 so I decided to change it to the stock Android one. After searching online, I found that those files were the ones you need to change. I got them from a GPE system dump. The .ttf files are the stock emoji. The .xml file basically is how the fonts are prioritized (as far as I can tell) which makes the stock emoji default before the Samsung one.
Anyway, that's how I got it to work on my phone. I'm not exactly sure how/why it worked but it did for me.
has anyone else tried this, the samsun emoji are god awful??
I just used the method outlined by LoneAsp and it worked for me.

I attempted the method described by LoneAsp and it didn't work for me. Not sure if it matters, but I'm using a Galaxy Note II on the DN3 ROM.
I downloaded Emoji Switcher (root) from the Play store and it seems to have done the trick. There are some missing icons, however, and I'm not sure if the author will be updating this app to use the updated font files anytime soon.

I should have updated my OP... but I used Emoji Switcher to fix this problem, as well. I used the Samsung ones for a while... and I'm currently on the default Google ones. (The samsung ones include a few awkward-looking ones. Kind of creepy. lol) I haven't noticed any missing icons. Which ones are missing?
With my modified DPI (changed to 320 from 480)... the icons were so small that they weren't fun to use or receive... so I used an xposed module, App Settings, to change the font scale to 200%. This makes longer messages kind of a chore, but overall I'm glad the text is so much bigger. The emoji are much better, that's for sure.
Speaking of Hangouts and xposed modules... I also recommend "Stickers for Hangouts" which enables "add sticker" and "add drawing" to your attachment options in Hangouts. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quinny898.app.stickersforhangouts
Until now... "stickers" were only an option in the iOS version of Hangouts. Does that make sense? (answer: no)
Thanks LoneAsp!!

Hello, I'm currently running a stock 4.4.4 with some smali mods. I recently noticed that file types you can receive via Bluetooth are limited (and some googling revealed it's a whitelist in Bluetooth.apk). However, there's also some kind of restriction in sending, which (as I can understand) only makes a couple apps show up in the Send/Share intent window (I saw apks, isos, debs are some of the restricted files). I couldn't locate this black list though. Any hint as to where it is (even in the android source)?
I have never had any problem sending or receiving an apk file.

Yeah, I think most custom ROMs remove these limits. Also, some file managers like ES work around the sending blacklist somehow. Root explorer doesn't sadly
So i solved this... Basically each app can accept some kinds of files via sharing, and Bluetooth.apk is no exception, you can find the white list in its manifest. Too bad that to edit it, you also need to disable the signature checking with tools like lucky patcher, or resign all system apps and framework-res...
Once i experienced the same problem..
all i did was using ES file manager..
compress the file in zip and send via Bluetooth
i recommend u to try it... it worked for me all the time..(even .apk files)

Yeah, the problem is it whitelists (only allows) specific file types (zips, pdfs, office documents, audio, video, image files, html, txt, maybe I forgot some others). But it was a chance to learn something about the OS.:laugh:
If anyone is interested, I unlocked all file types both in sending and receiving in Bluetooth.apk and kept Google's signature (so you need to disable the signature verification in core.jar with Lucky Patcher, it's the first patch of the three and then you can uninstall it). Otherwise the apk will just not load. Only for stock 4.4.4 for Nexus 4!
I meant TO MAKE THE SPEAKER VOLUME LOUDER. Wish we could edit our questions for simple mistakes like this... Anyways
My question isn't necessarily about the S5 but rather Android 4.4. I don't own a S5 but since it's a new and popular phone I can see there being more answers here. I own a Galaxy Tab 3 T210 running a ported Android 4.4.2 so it has all of the same files to make the same edits as the S5 in the system folder if it comes to that. Android 4.4 and really all other newer Android versions have patched the methods I've seen by not having those files in that system/etc folder.I can screenshot what I DO have in that folder if anyone wants to see. I'm pretty sure it comes down to 2 files but I opened them and I don't know what to change in them considering it says Volume throughout the whole file basically. I am pretty sure it's audio_gain_config.xml that I need to edit. Maybe I'm just missing something when I open the file... If anyone wants to have a look at it as well I'll upload it. I may just change every 100 volume I see to 150 to see how that goes. If something goes terribly wrong I can just replace the modded one with a stock one

Ususaly speaker volume can be edited in /etc/mixer_paths.xml afaik.
If you have root you can use "Viper4Android" (google) is IMHO the best way for louder AND better sound…

im not sure if it makes a difference, (i have Sprints Galaxy tab 3) but i increased my tabs volume by editing lines in -
system/ ect/ snd_soc_msm/ snd_soc_msm_2x and look for this section in the file (down a ways)
SectionDevice
Name "Speaker"
Comment "Speaker Rx device"
and edited these two lines number values to a higher number but i wouldnt go higher then 2:80.7%
'Rx3 Digital Volume':2:67.7%
'RX4 Digital Volume':2:67.7%
just make sure you make a copy of the file before you edit it just in case,,,

I use Root Browser and I do have root access. I know because I had to grant emoji switcher root access yesterday but yeah you do lose root when you flash some roms and have to reflash SuperSu but that ain't the problem for me.I will try one of those browsers you mentioned and if it doesn't work then I don't know anymore at this point. I am in the correct folder. System/etc. I was thinking about getting a new browser anyways because Root Browser force closes when I open manifest files. Aside from this I'm trying to disable specific volume app volumes. There is an app for that but it doesn't work with multiwindow because as long as volume is on all app sounds play. I hope somewhere in the apk file I can edit the volume
