Ok I think i have found a solution for fixing the MMS Size in Sense Roms. First off, i take no credit for this, I just was searching the forums and found it. Then i tried it and it worked. I wanted to post this in for development forum in the thread that i found it, but I am a new user and don't have that permission yet. Now I don't know if this will work for all Sense roms, but i found the Fix in the Virtuous Unity thread on page 13. At first when i tried to edit the file and recompress it back to a zip on my macbook it wouldn't work, but then i used parallel windows to run windows 7. Then i used 7zip to open the archive, went into the system and edited the file with notepad and then i followed the rest of the directions in the Fix. I know a lot of people were looking for a fix for the Sense picture problems and when i found Joemm post about it i figured i share it.
Below i put the whole process from the thread and page i mentioned for those who don't want to go and search through the thread
MMS PIC SIZE FIX...........
This use to be a problem when Virtuous first came out and I remembered this fix.
I have tested this fix on this rom and its working great. I now have FULL size MMS pictures.
I downloaded Virtuous Unity 1.0.0 rom, opened it with winzip, went into system/customize/MNS/default.xml and edited the default.xml file with wordpad, scrolled all the way to the bottom of the document, second up from the bottom you'll find this below, now just change the text (I highlighted it in red) that says "HTC_Sensation_Z710e/1.0" to say "Nexusone",
<!-- MMS UA string -->
<module name="MMS">
<function name="ua_string">
<set name="single">
<item name="value">HTC_Sensation_Z710e/1.0</item>
</set>
</function>
</module>
when your done it should look like this, but not highlighted in red of course:
<!-- MMS UA string -->
<module name="MMS">
<function name="ua_string">
<set name="single">
<item name="value">Nexusone</item>
</set>
</function>
</module>
Saved the change and rezipped the rom back up.
Installed the modified rom to the root of my sd card.
Rebooted into recovery.
This next step is important, YOU MUST DO A COMPLETE DATA WIPE, then flash the rom, it will not work if you just flash it over your existing Virtuous Unity rom without a full data wipe. What this does is trick the servers into thinking the phone is a Nexus one.
Then go thru the enitre setup process again.
After that you will have full size MMS pic's again.

Hey all, thanks for looking. I'm rooted on the latest JB ota and every time I try to install KK it stops about halfway through and boots back up notifying me it failed. I don't have any custom ROM installed. In fact, I would prefer to return to complete stock and then do KK but I can't get find an answer as to whether I can fastboot with the latest JB ota. Thanks for any advice in advance.

You can flash a stock ROM through RSD or FastBoot on any version of xt907. Just turn it off, hold volume down and tap the power button and fastboot will appear. Flash using your favorite method. If you're locked, you can flash an update or the same version of your ROM, but you cannot downgrade.
I did that, and I still can't get the update to work.
root had my update failing too. i just did a restore with RSD and stock JB firmware. took the KK update fine after that.

did you modify the XML file? read this. you have extract the firmware contents. then modify the XML file. save it (as XML not TXT) and then use that file in RSD.

i extracted mine from the zip. easiest way to make sure you save the XML file correctly.

thank youu sooooo much!!!! MAN !! you saved me ok the mistake what i was doing was that i was editng the XML file and was puting it in the zip again i wasnt extracting it
let me clear for the folks who are doing mistakes just like me
download your sbf first
extract it in C (prefer C drive always for sbfing)
edit the xml file in the extracted folder
go to rsd lite and load the exact xml file that you extracted earlier (no need to zip it back!!)
and voila
special thanks to Chuck Solid made my concept clear
i used this XML its working like a charm

sounds like the 'motorola services' isn't running. try this: do a 'factory reset' inside 'settings'. when the phone restarts DO NOT set up your google account. agree to the motorola crap but SKIP google sign in. this will make sure nothing is loaded from the playstore. not even your contacts. skip over the verizon contact restore and accounts. then try the update again. that's what i did after RSD. give it a shot.

Hey guys, thanks so much for your responses. I was just unaware that I could RSD, I felt like I read somewhere that once I took the latest JB ota I couldn't RSD at all. Thank you again, I'll report back my findings.

Hello All,
recently Im working on my own project to add characters to the LG G2 default phone dialer (I know I can download other dialers), i spilited this project in to two parts 1.source code handling 2.GUI handling
currently I am still working on the first part and I hope I will have some breakthrough soon.
now regarding the second part.
I used ADB in order to pull out the LGcontacts.apk file, after I opened it I found that all dialpad related png files are located under "res\drawable-xxhdpi" folder.
I went to the following XML files located in the following paths
1.res\layout-land
2.res\layout-ldpi
3.res\layout
and changed the following lines from this:
<View android:layout_width="@dimen/dialer_dialpad_col_interval" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<com.android.contacts.dialpad.DialpadImageButton android:id="@id/two" android:background="@drawable/btn_dial" android:src="@drawable/dial_num_2_wht" android:contentDescription="@string/description_image_button_two" style="@style/DialtactsDialpadButtonStyle" />
<View android:layout_width="@dimen/dialer_dialpad_col_interval" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<com.android.contacts.dialpad.DialpadImageButton android:id="@id/three" android:background="@drawable/btn_dial" android:src="@drawable/dial_num_3_wht" android:contentDescription="@string/description_image_button_three" style="@style/DialtactsDialpadButtonStyle" />
To this:
<View android:layout_width="@dimen/dialer_dialpad_col_interval" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<com.android.contacts.dialpad.DialpadImageButton android:id="@id/two" android:background="@drawable/btn_dial" android:src="@drawable/dial_num_2_wht_il" android:contentDescription="@string/description_image_button_two" style="@style/DialtactsDialpadButtonStyle" />
<View android:layout_width="@dimen/dialer_dialpad_col_interval" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<com.android.contacts.dialpad.DialpadImageButton android:id="@id/three" android:background="@drawable/btn_dial" android:src="@drawable/dial_num_3_wht_il" android:contentDescription="@string/description_image_button_three" style="@style/DialtactsDialpadButtonStyle" />
After the changes done I saved the files rebuilt the APK using APK Studio and pushed the apk file to /system/priv-app using ADB.
after reboot to the device the APK was installed however after opening the APP i noticed that nothing has changed.
honestly i dont know why nothing was changed, does anyone know what did I do wrong?
Thank you for your help in advanced.
Hi,
I am trying to edit the mixer paths xml file in order to change microphone volumenbut for some reason when I am trying to save it, it says can't save. It seems this file/folder only for read.
I could see a lot of people changed this file.
What do I need to do?
Of course I rooted my phone.
Thank you.
I had the problem with my s5 running cm 13, that the mic voume was very low. So i searched for a fix but didn't really found something but that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/general/fix-low-microphone-volume-kitkat-t2930748
There it is eyplained how to increase the mic-volume for the sony xperia m2.
That's how you can do it with the S5:
Code:
I am not responsible for any damage. Do it on your own risk!
1. download for example file Manager and activate in the settings the root settings (root Explorer and writeable)
2. go to /System/etc
2. save the file "mixer_paths.xml" if you do any mistake
3. open the file with the editor and scroll down to line (half of the page) <!-- Recording Scenario -->
4. Change the values u need to to i.e.: 899:
An exampel:
Code:
<ctrl name="DEC2 Volume" value="899" />
5. Save the file and reboot.
Now the microphone must be louder. You need to look which value is the best, i am using the value 899. When i tryed a higher value the mic doesn't work.
Hope i could help you! Please correct me if i am wrong with something!
My modified mixer_paths.xml file:
