[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

How to access and edit carrier settings with CM7 ROM?

I'm trying to access the carrier settings like you would do on a Sense Rom for the EPST. Just trying to configure my mms settings. Any help would be great.

Nope. Can't be done in CM7 because EPST is not open-source.
Download a Sense ROM, Nandroid backup CM7, flash Sense, edit settings, wipe everything, restore CM7.
Maybe when the Nexus S 4G comes out, EPST will be made open-source, and can be ported to the EVO, Shift, Heroc, Bravoc, etc.

Tried that and it's still not working :/
Probably better off with Sense for the time being.

Please let me know when you figure out how to change ##3282# settings on Gingerbread or CM7
EDIT: Ended up installing GO SMS PRO and configured the MMS stuff manually, now I can send from my EVO

You didn't use a sense rom based on a stock EVO 4g ota. My guess is you used a desire z port or kingdom which may or may not work. Try sprint lovers 3.70. It has never failed me.

Unzipped and individually installed I apologize for not specifying that. The zip file I initially prepared was going to be an add on that could be flashed through a recovery, but I was getting too many errors and force closes. Also this allows for more devices to become compatible. Rooted or not.

I'm getting a parsing error trying to install the active notifications apk on my gs4. Im running a custom rom on 4.2.2
Edit: I'm pretty sure it's because active notifications only works on 4.3 phones. I remember this app came out not too long ago and you needed to have 4.3

I'm running illusion ROM 4.2.2 on a GS3 and I have yet to have an issue. I also have successfully used active notifications on a Nexus 4 on 4.3 as well as a HTC droid incredible on Gingerbread.
Try downloading the APK directly from the Play Store if the file is not working.

I think the apk in the zip file may be an older version of the active notifications app. I downloaded from the playstote when I learned it now works with 4.0+ and it works fine now. I just wanted some way to have active notifications

Can anyone confirm the quality of this X Kit on the Note II?

The kit is simply a pack of .apk files which should work fine with most devices. We have already tested these on our T-mobile Note II running an AOSP ROM. Please let me know if any issues arise as we will promptly configure a fix.

I got a parsing error for the apk download for Active Notifications. Does this require me to download the app from the Play Store? I did that before hand, but I deleted it and tried to install the apk and said parsing still.

Try downloading the .apk from the Playstore and let me know how that works; Also what type of device are you using and what OS version. I have gotten this to work on a couple of rooted devices on ICS and Gingerbread but I have noticed that many devices not running 4.0+ are running into problems.

Dynamic Notifications works in the same concept, but it shows a stock android style icon for gmail and texts. I am using a Note II with stock 4.1.2 TW.

We just flashed stock TW on our Note II and we're getting the same error. So the only fix I'm seeing for this device is to flash an AOSP based ROM

Yeah, I think I am not really willing to root my device at this time. Thanks for the help though. If you find a fix besides the AOSP ROM of my choice, let me know via private message. Thanks, but outside of the Active Notifications, I enjoyed the wallpapers. I hope the Motorola apps will work on all devices.

My apologies for the delay,
The twisty launcher .apk is the only working method to simulate the Moto X's Quick capture camera. I have yet to find a device that supports this native feature other than the Moto X itself.

Stop messaging apk

I'm running aeon 2.3 and I can't receive mms via the stock messaging app. I think it has to do with the Korean apk. A) DOES ANYONE HAVE A STOCK AT&T MESSAGING APK? B) do you think replacing the messaging. Apk in the sys app would fix the issue? I'm guessing here because I receive mms via Google hangouts perfectly. Thanks guys

I am on Aeon 2.3 with ATT and stock messenger app is working fine for me... never had any issues.. did you mess with the APN settings at all? or possibly the SMS/MMS message center phone # ??
EDIT: woops, just noticed you specified MMS.... my response would only apply if both sms and mms were not working, sorry..
anyway, i doubt replacing the APK will make a difference if sms is indeed working.. sounds more like a connectivity related issue possibly like you said due to korean base...

The stock messaging app will not solve your problem. The problem lies elsewhere and it extends to other bases as well. Did you flash over existing rom ? Or did you do the normal wipes? And please post in the AEON thread so we can help you better. I almost didn't see your post.

Thanks man. I'm no dev but I was bored and inpatient. I posted in the thread but with no response I looked elsewhere to solve my issues. Thanks for all of your great work an efforts. I love your Rom but I can't get mms from iPhone's specifically. I receive them via hangouts. I'm not changing any APN settings and I flashing after a factory reset wipe via twrp.

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.

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.
