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.

So did anyone find a way to make the official s!mail application work on modded rom?
I am still having FC problem with mine...

They are in the same APN.

Sense ROMs and MMS

Hey guys,
I have been trying out some different ROMs trying to pick out a daily and I have ran into a very annoying problem. When I download a sense ROM I cannot send MMS through Handcent or ChompSMS. However, the stock messaging app works like a charm when sending them. The only problem is that I hate the stock messaging app.
I always wipe and don't flash any other zips before I try sending the MMS and it still doesn't work. The weird thing is that I can use Handcent and ChompSMS on the CM6 ROM.
I've tried the APN method and factory data resets. Nothing.
Here's the sense ROMs I have tried with no luck:
-Myn's RLS2 and 3
-Nil's business sense
-Virtuous v3.1.0
Any suggestions???

Downloading right now..
Edit: No luck on skyraider either

Ok, so I actually unrooted my phone to try and fix this problem. I did these steps in order.
-Unrooted
-Synced my gmail account
-Went into the market and downloaded Gallery 3D and ChompSMS
-Opened Gallery3D and tried to send a picture, no luck
-Installed HandcentSMS and tried to send a picture, no luck
I didn't try anything fancy, no unnecessary downloads and didn't flash ANYTHING.. Something has to be wrong here, since the stock messaging app works.
This has been all kinds of frustrating..

It may be the kernel that cm uses. Not that knowledgable about kernels but I know that a lot of roms come pre stocked with a certain one.

I've experimented with different kernels for Sense and still no luck..
I still don't understand how when I unrooted my phone and EVERYTHING was stock, I still couldn't send MMS through Handcent or Chomp... So confusing.

Just downloaded handcent and it worked fine. Running skyraider 3.3 s-off. Nothing other than setcpu and minor tweak.

[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

[Q] Why can I only receive MMS's on AOSP roms and not LG roms? T-Mobile!

So I tried flashing both CloudyFlex and CloudyPro and noticed that I wasn't able to receive MMS's on either rom but then once I switched to Mahdi rom which is AOSP then everything was fine. Anyone else having the same problem or know what is wrong? Is it a T-Mobile thing?

Have you checked the apn for the rom?

No I haven't, data works so I figured it wasn't an apn issue. Am I wrong?

no its possible the mms settings within the apn might not be filled or current... so check it out... might be that
if it still doesnt work ... try to see if you can receive mms on another app instead of stock lg messaging...

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

Good deal, I'm glad you got it working without a full reset. Enjoy the ROM.

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.

I don't get the picture in notifications, I'm using 8sms and have the stock mms installed. As for the late reply I apologize. I didn't get any notification in my email like I do normally.

Volte Update
Hello. I am not able to access the Volte on/off in my settings even though it has been added to my account. I need to be able to use the 6 way conference calling feature. Any help is appreciated.

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.

Yes, it will not show up until you either activate it online in your account features or call VZW on the phone.

I installed stock mms and 8sms and still get pictures when receiving messages I removed the contact pictures and then it will give me the senders initials I've tried both stock ricks rom and your debloated rom I use a ni2 heavy debloater but it still shows contact pictures any help would be great

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.
