Does anyone know if the new messaging client from the thread below works on the T-Mo US version? More specifically on the original ROM (not the updates one tmobile released with the screen sensitivity issues?)

That I am not sure b/c in order to install a new messaging you would need to uninstall the old one which is not possible on a stock rom (as far as I know) That sucks too b/c the 1.8 version fixes a lot of the issues you are most likely having
I just installed it last night on the original Tmo HD2 stock ROM (2.10), and it seems to be working just fine for the most part.
I used the 2015 version on that thread, not the 2016. Installed just the cab for the new client, didn't bother updating the .mui file he provides, since I don't care about the securebox. It installed without a hitch and replaced the stock 2012 version of the client.
The only issue I seem to be having is an odd SMS notification icon (new, not sent...) show up in the taskbar, and my batt meter isn't showing there now for some reason. I'm sure I just goofed a step somewhere, I just haven't had the time to figure it out yet.
But, the bottom line is that the client does install and work on the first stock tmo ROM, I just can't say yet if it's faster (though I'm sure it is) because I haven't filled it up with enough messages yet to stress-test it
Same here, installed v15 on stock tmo ROM, so far so good. One minor but annoying bug, it says that i have a new unread text message but i really don't.

There is no need to uninstall the old one, the way WM works with ROM files is an newer file that "overwrites" a ROM file is sorta mapped into place. The original file is still there in ROM but the newer version is used, if the newer version of the file is deleted or app uninstalled then the ROM file comes back.
as already reported this does work I just installed it on mine and it definitely seems faster. i had been archiving all my SMS every week and then deleting the database, I might attempt to reinsert all my weekly archives in and see what happens. Think ill give the messaging app a few days make sure nothing weird comes up.
As for the icon, yeah it did change over the stock sms notification icon. the envelope with word balloon looking icon is gone. now a new sms is a white envelope and new emails are a black envelope. I noticed this change in the 2014 messaging app that i installed a few weeks back

I had seen this prior with the old messaging client while restoring backups into the database. I think the DB entry gets corrupt. If its showing which if your contacts have the unread message, try sending them a message and have them send back. That seemed to have fixed it prior, you could also try a battery pull

Well I stand corrected, I always knew it to not work that way. Thanks for the info!
Yeah I noticed the different icons on 2014 too but I just install a custom taskbar anyway that takes care of that.
So far I noticed that it does improving loading quite a bit. And the issue where it highlights the last message is finally gone, that was my biggest gripe.

Hey Chris, what custom taskbar are you using? I've got dinik's anastasia taskbar icons right now, and the new odd-looking notification icons are still showing unskinned....but, I didn't reinstall the taskbar after putting the new msg client on, so maybe that's what it requires. I'd still like to know which one you're using that skins them though, in case I need to troubleshoot further, thanks!
Just installed it so far so good, seems pretty quick..

These are the 2 files that control the icons in the messaging client.
MessagingRes.dll & MMSRes_480x800.dll
Does this updated message client (2015 and 2016) and anything to the messaging system other than speeding it up? Any new features? I've always found the HTC messaging on the HD2 very lacking compared to say, my Omnia II.

I've got this issue too, and I wish it went away by just replying...I haven't found a solution other than a soft-reset, or just ignoring the damn thing

Thanks guys, a simple re-install of the custom taskbar cleared it up
Now, if I could just get rid of the extra sms notification. It always starts at "2", whenever I get a single new incoming message, and won't return to "0" till I soft-reset
i downloaded the 2015 all in one cab and so far so good. well i havent really texted but the only thing thats annoying is that everytime i send a message it tells me it was successfully sent how do i disable that
i know theres is a way i seen the option but i just fogot

Use a reg editor to make this entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\Messaging]
"DisableSMSSuccess"=dword:1 Or use the cab

There's actually a separate thread just for the new client itself, this is just one that got started in this area...the link is in the 1st post of this one.
Hi guys,
First of all, I would like to thank all of the developers and the people who maintain this board for providing such an amazing educational service for the rest of us. Without this website, I would never have learned how to root and do the fancy things that I can now do on my phone. thank you!!
So last night I rooted (2.2, Droid X) and removed the stock e-mail app by renaming the .apk to .bak. Today I decided that I want it back since I use 2 different e-mail accounts. After renaming the app back to .apk, I now see the E-mail app in my app drawer again. However, when I click on it, it loads a black screen for a half second, then closes. I am running LPP as well. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
To the best of my knowledge, you should be able to just rename it back (like you said you did, I'm just hinting maybe something got corrupted?).
Well, it seems to have suddenly fixed itself, I'm not sure what the issue was. However, it does not behave the way it did before. Prior to rooting, I had the e-mail icon in my dock (LPP) and when I tapped on it, it would load my gmail. Now, it loads the MESSAGING window with Universal Messaging, Facebook and Text Messaging. Sigh. Oh well, I guess I'll have to manage without it.
I have managed to get the Black background on Contacts, MMS and Phone apps, I'm using the Inverted apps that were posted here, it works, I needed to remove the secMMS.apk.Odex file in order to avoid the Black on Black issue but it works, I know that since doing that, every time I restart the phone I get the Android is Updating message for a couple of seconds, I don't like it but I can live with it having the benefit of having the Black backgrounds.
So, I have been wondering about the Email App, it's the only one that it will stay with the White Background, and it then feel out of place now. I just saw that in next ShoStock release he mentions that it will fix the Black on Black issue on Email App, so in other words there should be the Inverted App someplace already. Well, I went ahead and downloaded the Shostock Rom and extracted the secEmail_J.Apk thinking that it will do the trick but nothing, then I extracted the odex file and nothing, then I remembered that I needed to delete the MMS odex file in order to work fine but no way with the Email App.
Have anyone managed to have the Inverted email app working? I'd appreciate if you can give me hints, I haven't found anything in here and across the Web.
Thanks.
I'm interested too. We shall see.
Though if you are talking for gmail I am pre5y sure there is a team blackout that has inverted gapps.

No, I'm talking about the Stock email App. And just FYI, I sent a message to Sho (From the Shostock Rom) and he managed to get the inverted email app doing some adjusting to some system files, not as simple as replacing Apps, so this one won't be as easy as the MMS, Contacts and Phone apps.

I tried installing some inverted and AOSP mail apps and ran into a bunch of crashes myself. I'd be interested in seeing what his methods were.
Would you mind sharing his work or pointing us to the inverted mail app? I've been looking everywhere for this. Thanks if so!!!
Is this an omni bug or Android 4.4.4 bug? I tried searching but couldn't find any input about this. Check out the attached image for my issue.
My widget drawer has the incorrect thumbnail for certain widgets, but not all of them. If I drag the widget out (going by the name), its the correct widget, just the wrong image.
Is there any way to reset this?
Anyone who may experience this, I Uninstalled any apps with wrong images and it fixed the issue.
that is weird... glad you got it fixed tho!

Thanks, me too. It wasn't messing up anything functional, but just bugged me it wasnt displaying correctly. So far I love this omni rom, brought back a lot of functionality to my old phone. Now I don't have to upgrade for awhile still.
*This has been asked in the S8+ forum, but since I am using the S8, I would like to relay the message here,
Guys, I have noticed that, about 2 days ago, the Facebook app began to create a weird issue when I click the back button to close the app. Someone already made a video clip as seen below to illustrate the issue. Does anyone have the same issue and found a way to fix it? This hiccup really annoys me

I really don't know what causes this issue. Maybe Facebook app is the one to blame since I am using Nova launcher and the other guys use stock launcher.

I am also using the stock launcher. Probably is the facebook app as you said. Tested almost all my apps but it's the only one with the problem.
I'm 99% sure there's something wrong with their adaptation to full screen mode and it forces a redraw once you exit. It's been annoying the heck out of me.
I think I found a work-around solution for this issue temporarily. This is how I did:
1. Changed your default launcher to stock Samsung.
2. Restarted the device.
3. Changed the launcher to Nova.
4. Changed the Facebook icon to something else.
5. Clicked on Facebook app, used the back button .... and the wallpaper didn't jump!
I updated to the new OTA today, and the problem came back. However, when I went through the same steps, the issue stopped. Give it a try, guys!
I have the S8 and noticed this too, but I never took note of which app caused it. Now I know it's Facebook
I am unique.butt From Softlinks.
The Solution is so simple click and hold on Facebook App icone Then go into app info and scroll down and find the option (Appear On Top) disable this option now your Facebook app will close with back key if you fave similar problem with ither android app you can do this with those apps as well i hope you will like this solution thanks.
