this document describe about some tips on station and srcs editor.

thanks for sharing !!
It looks really promising, I will have a look on this

wow.. looks like you put a lot of work in!
looks like somethin made by htc!
would really love to see this working in American cities!

Wow, great apps. I wonder if you can have it support other cities too? Like Manila....

cool! soo... how do we add other cities into this software???

Le Vesinet, both stations, are missing.
Works on my HD.
Perhaps you can display all the list when nothing is in the search box.
And add a slider on the right with alphabet for a quicker browsing.
Added: and please remove https from the images links.

Hi,
Nice design and bug free on my Diamond.
A few points :
- When you change the selected map, you have to restart the app before it's taken in account.
- It miss an exit button.
- When I try to edit the maps directly on my phone, the app is crashing at next launch. I guess it's an encoding issue.

in fact, the map data is OPEN, that means we can easily add maps by ourselves.
I'm actually starting the Map Creator developpment. so when i finished, we can create a map very very easy.
of course, i have also some ideas to improve this program.

the map data is formatted with XML in UTF-8 coded. if you like, i will put the format specifictions this evening. so anybody can create a map.
i'm also developping the Map Creator, when it is done. we can create maps by this tool.

- when you touch the map button to change te map, the changes will active immediatly (testCity only contains stationA and stationB for test). in Options form, we change only the "Default Map" - the map loaded on startup.
- yeah, it is not a fullscreen app, i think the x button on the top right is enough, if we hold the x, it will be closed. i will continue receive comment, if more people propose to add exit buttons, i will add one
- Map is Coded in UTF-8, to improve the effecientes, i did not check whether the map is valid. maybe that is a improvement to work when we have more maps.
Thanks for your opinions.

just a question: wouldn't be possible to import (or to use directly) Métro maps? would be easier, and there's plenty of Métro maps

· added option to repeat a single Album, so the repeat options are: none -> all -> an album -> a song.
· added option (ShakeThreshold) to adjust the shaking responsiveness.
· added limited support to HTC Wired Remote Control (read the FAQ for details).
· added an OpenGL version for devices that support OpenGL ES (Touch Diamond/Pro/HD & Xperia X1).
· fixed on some devices S2P crashes when Bluetooth is already turned on (but AVRCP still may not be supported on these devices).
· fixed when shuffle is on, sometimes the Album pic cannot be shown.
· fixed when repeat option is on, the "slide to next Album" does not work.
· some minor bugs fixed.

Features:
- Weather Underground data for Current Conditions, Forecast, Radar and Alerts
- Can use Personal Weather Station (PWS) as well as Airport station data
- Tower and GPS location
- Working version for VGA, WVGA, WQVGA, QVGA phones
- Sense Look and Feel for settings (thanks to SenseSDK)
- Free and Open-Source (developer contributions encouraged)
- S2U2 support with wildcards (see 2nd post)

- Language Support
- CHT weather support
- Multiple Locations
- Color customizations
- More optimizations (especially xml parsing)
- Port to Android and maybe Windows Phone 7
- Others (suggestions welcome)?
Changelog:
v0.4: Added radar for US Cities (landscape mode using internal browser), customizable in registry (see 2nd post). Moved Settings button on top next to newly added Exit button. Displaying 5 days of forecast instead of 6 with slightly bigger text. Improved QVGA/WVGA support (bigger buttons for WVGA, fixed missing text for QVGA/WQVGA). Many bug fixes (value checking in forecast, GPS thread termination, station re-searching, duplicate location station search). Removed Exit button from Settings as now there is a main Exit button on top right.
v0.3: More error checking (locations and stations). Better resource management on exit. Moved Tower and GPS finding to a timed thread (timer is customizable in registry, see 2nd post). Fixed small bug with showing high and lows of today's rather than tomorrow's forecast. S2U2 support with wildcards in registry (see 2nd post). Better support for browser link (when clicking on logo). Changed chance of rain to chance of precipitation (moved some things around). Enabled stations picking when using GPS.
v0.2.3: Better error handling (more messages, more checks). Faster connection checking. Some Bug fixes (alerts on startup, lows and humidity on non-metric).
v0.2.2: Better error messages. Connection checking. Some GPS fixes. Exit button added on Settings.
v0.2.1: Fixed a bug with startup registry keys
v0.2: Added support for QVGA and WVGA devices

Any feedback/suggestions very much appreciated.
Reserved
Hints:
- To update the data, either click on the button that is highlighted (i.e. if you are viewing Current data, click on the Current button again to update, etc.), or go to Settings and click Save Settings.
- For using GPS Location, when you enable the option on the settings, it will first try to find your location based on tower information (i.e. you cell provider towers). This does not block the system. Mine takes about 2-3 seconds. If it finds your location, it will show something like: Approx. Location: 37.861111,23.759126. Regardless of finding an approx location, the app will continue on to find your GPS location, based on your GPS receiver. This could take a while but it also does not block the system. Mine (with latest quick gps data) takes another 2-3 seconds. If it finds a GPS location, it will show something like: GPS Location: 37.861123,23.759145. GPS location obviously overwrites Approx Location. You could wait or save settings and come back to settings again later to check if the GPS location is found, at which point you can do save settings again to update with your exact location weather data. By default the app takes 60 seconds to look for a tower location and a GPS position. You can change the timeout in the registry (see Customizations).
Customizations:
Most of the settings data are stored in the registry key (HKCU) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mwunderground. You can use Total Commander or Registry Editor to modify these values. Only do so if you know what you are doing. If something is broken, just reinstall the cab (which uninstalls first and clears the registry).
Radar Customization
To modify the Radar, you can edit the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mwunderground\RadarURL. The current value is:
Code:
http://radblast-mi.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/radar/WUNIDS_map?station=*RADARID*&brand=manmade&num=6&delay=50&type=N0R&frame=0&scale=1.000&noclutter=0&t=1297546449&lat=*LAT*&lon=*LON*&label=you&showstorms=10&map.x=400&map.y=240&centerx=400&centery=240&transx=0&transy=0&showlabels=1&severe=1&rainsnow=0&lightning=0&smooth=1
The *RADARID* will be replaced in the application by the proper RadarId based on your location, *LAT* and *LON*, Latitude and Longitude, which are replaced by the station's Latitude and Longitude location. You can modify the remainder of the values. For example, to change the speed of the animation, modify delay=50, to delay=75 (will slow it down by 25%), or to not show labels, set showlabels=1 to showlabels=0.
Tower and GPS connection timeout
To modify the Tower and GPS connection timeout, you can edit the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mwunderground\GPSTimer to the number of seconds you'd like. Default is 60.
SU2U Wildcards
To modify the S2U2 format, you can edit the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mwunderground\S2U2Format.
Code:
Possible S2U2 formats:
ICONS=S, P, W, C
If icon is S, P, W, format is for example: S|*NUMBER*|High|Low
If icon is C, format is: C|*NUMBER*|MESSAGE
*NUMBER* will be replaced by the appropriate icon number based on the ORIGINAL S2U2 icon numbers
Weather Underground icon to S2U2 icon matching:
clear=32(Day)/31(Night), cloudy=26/27, flurries=13, fog=20, hazy=21, mostlycloudy=28/27,
mostlysunny=30/29, partlycloudy=30/29, partlysunny=28/27, rain=12/45, sleet=7,
snow=16/46, sunny=32/31, tstorms=3/47, unknown=0
MESSAGE= can be anything and you can use the following wildcards
*TEMP_C* is replaced by the current temperature in C
*TEMP_F* is replaced by the current temperature in F
*TEMP* is replaced by the current temperature based on your selection in settings (will append °C or °F)
*HIGH_C* is replaced by High temperature in C
*LOW_C* is replaced by Low temperature in C
*HIGH* is replaced by High temperature with units based on your selection in settings (will append °C or °F)
*LOW* is replaced by Low temperature with units based on your selection in settings(will append °C or °F)
*DAY_0_HIGH_C* is replaced by High temperature in C for day 0 (today) of forecast (same as *HIGH_C*)
*DAY_0_LOW_C* is replaced by Low temperature in C for day 0 (today) of forecast (same as *LOW_C*)
*DAY_1_HIGH_C* is replaced by High temperature in C for day 1 (tomorrow) of forecast
...
*DAY_5_LOW_C* is replaced by Low temperature in C for day 5 of forecast
*DAY_0_HIGH* is replaced by High temperature with units based on your selection in settings for day 0 (today) of forecast (same as *HIGH*) (will append °C or °F)
*DAY_0_LOW* is replaced by Low temperature with units based on your selection in settings for day 0 (today) of forecast (same as *LOW*) (will append °C or °F)
*HIGH_F* ...
*LOW_F* ...
*DAY_0_HIGH_F* is replaced by High temperature in F for day 0 (today) of forecast (same as *HIGH_F*)
*DAY_0_LOW_F* is replaced by Low temperature in F for day 0 (today) of forecast (same as *LOW_F*)
...
*DAY_5_LOW_F* is replaced by Low temperature in F for day 5 of forecast
*DAY_5_LOW* is replaced by Low temperature with units based on your selection in settings for day 5 of forecast (will append °C or °F)
*WEATHER* is replaced by the weather message (i.e. Clear, Heavy Thunderstorms and Snow, etc.)
*WEATHER_ICON* is replaced by the text for the weather icon (i.e. clear, mostlycloudy, etc.)
EXAMPLES=
C|*NUMBER*|*HIGH*/*LOW*
will display the icon with 12°C/6°C underneath (default)
C|*NUMBER*|*HIGH_C*°C/*LOW_C*°C
will display the icon with 12°C/6°C underneath
C|*NUMBER*|H:*HIGH_F*°F/L:*LOW_F*°F
will display the icon with H:65°F / L:45°F underneath
C|*NUMBER*|*WEATHER* (*HIGH_F*°F/*LOW_F*°F)
will display the icon with Clear (65°F/45°F) underneath
C|*NUMBER*|*DAY_0_HIGH_C*°C/*DAY_0_LOW_C*°C - *DAY_1_HIGH_C*°C/*DAY_1_LOW_C*°C - *DAY_2_HIGH_C*°C/*DAY_2_LOW_C*°C
will display the icon with 65°F/45°F - 75°F/55°F - 85°F/65°F underneath

Once I get in the mode of changing things for WVGA, it'll probably not be too hard to make a QVGA one as well.
very nice interface... will give it a shot

Strange. Does it give you any errors? Data plan/wifi working? .NET framework 3.5 installed? I'll do more investigating tomorrow based on your ROM.
Wow, I love munder weather...thanks bro, will give this a whirl...
Won't work on my Topaz (WVGA). Not sure if its the screen size not being supported or something else. .Net 3.5 is installed and i tried both CABs and same result.
A screenshot of the message I'm getting. thanks for the effort tho- I look foward to this program!
It looks really interersting application!
I would love to have it in other languages too (e.g. Greek )

hi you all. first, big thanks for this software. it's amazing, I was hesitating to buy this of ageye, but as I've found yours...
just to say that it's working very very good on my i900, winmo 6.1 swiss-french rom, installed on besides memory (Ma mémoire), screen res 240x400.
Only the texts are pretty small in forecast, but... PERFECT !
a simple big Thanks !!
works fine on my fuze

Thanks a lot for the suggestions!
1. Added on version 0.2.2. Thanks for the suggestion.
2. For manual update, check the 2nd post. I posted a hint. For automatic updates, this is a much bigger task because querying for xml data in windows mobile is quite slow. When I work on optimizing the xml parsing code (3rd iteration!) I'll look at how feasible this is. But it's a big task.
Got this error when changing the settings:
Mwunderground.exe
NullReferenceException

bij System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(Form fm)
bij Mwunderground.Program.Main()
This error occured after I changed the current location. Now I can not restart the app. I get the same error message every time I restart the app. I can not even get into the start screen.
How can I fix this, besides a reinstall of the cab file?
Another idea I would like to see is support for the CHT 2.0 weather widget.
Can also weather stations from other countries be used. I keep getting a list from Greece.
Post-edit:
I think I have found the issue. I keep getting an error message when changing the weather location based on search option for cell towers/gps option. Somehow this function is causing the app to work incorrectly, perhaps due to interference with the option of a manual search of the location search. The error occurs only after I save the settings. Can you see if this can be fixed?

Just my own opinion but UC sucks. I mean it copied off of MIREN and Opera and the only better thing about it is that it can read XML pages in WAP.

------------------
This unstable release of XHangouts v2.3 includes the following
changes from the first beta:
* Support for only Google Hangouts 6.0.107278502 (at the time of
release, this is the latest)
* The Sound replacement feature is in need of testing.

Please report any bugs or issues you encounter on GitHub or
the XDA thread. If it's working perfectly for you, I don't
mind hearing that either (on XDA, please)!
Code:
v2.3-beta1-a008277 - 15 Aug 2015 - Beta
------------------
This unstable release of XHangouts v2.3 includes the following
changes:
* Support for only Google Hangouts 4.0.100406486
(not the older 4.0.100147489!)
* MMS APN Splicing is in desperate need of testing in this release.
If you've used this feature previously, please report back on the
XDA thread with your findings.
* The Sound replacement feature is also in need of testing.
* Attach Anytime has been removed as it is no longer needed.
* The Hide Emoji option has met a similar fate.
* The Colorize / App color feature styles almost everything.
Still a few assets that need to be recolored.
* MMS Resizing and orientation correction has been disabled. It
appears this feature is no longer needed in Hangouts 4.0.
Please provide your opinions on this.
Code:
v2.2-d1a4e76 - 24 Jul 2015 - Stable
------------
XHangouts v2.2 brings about three new features and a handful of bug
fixes and internal improvements. Support for (only) Hangouts 3.3
continues into this release.
* Customize ringtones and sounds (suggested by weaverinva @ XDA)
* Disable the proximity sensor (courtesy of blackle @ GitHub)
* Give yourself more room to type by hiding the emoji button
(suggested by DarkKnightArtorias @ XDA)
* Fewer features require a full restart of Hangouts
* Additional debugging output
* Resolved a potential crash in configuration loading
* Code cleanup
Code:
v2.1-6194515 - 18 Jun 2015 - Stable
------------
XHangouts v2.1 is a minor release that now (and only) supports Google
Hangouts 3.3. Unfortunately, MMS APN Splicing has not been tested in
this release as I no longer have a device that I can test it with.
Code:
v2.0-11cb04c - 12 May 2015 - Stable
------------
XHangouts v2.0 is here! There's lots to look forward to in this major
release:
* Modular and more reliable XHangouts code structure
* Improvements to the build process
* Version tolerance (will no longer complain if your version is not the
exact one I compiled against)
* An attractive new icon!
* A new material color scheme to go along with the icon
* Ability to add XHangouts to your launcher
(suggested by Micks29 @ GitHub)
* Performance tweaks
* A new quick settings menu entry for easy access to XHangouts within
Google Hangouts!
* Ability to long press the send button to send and lock your phone
(suggested by bybenwalburn @ XDA)
* All dialogs reimplemented to use modern Android APIs
* A slightly less annoying "module not loaded" toast notification
* A new About dialog
* A license dialog
* A new, much better README
* APN Splicing is no longer marked as "experimental"
* More information link in the APN configuration dialog
* Supports Google Hangouts 3.1.89134953
(no support for 3.2 on Android 5.1)
Code:
v1.8-d211fc0 - 13 Mar 2015 - Stable
------------
A quick update:
* Now supports only Google Hangouts v3.0.87531466. As of release
(March 13, 2015) this is the latest version of Google Hangouts.
* The primary Hangouts tabs are now properly styled when using different
app colors.
Code:
v1.7-89feeeb - 08 Mar 2015 - Stable
------------
A major XHangouts update! New features. Fewer bugs.
* Now (only) supports Google Hangouts v2.5.83281670. This is not the
latest release. Google published a new version while I was working on
this release of the module. You can download a copy of Hangouts 2.5.83
from APKMirror.com. It's the January 7th release. You can wait until
I've added Hangouts v3.0 support but I have no timeframe to give you.
The current version of Hangouts on your device can be checked by
opening XHangouts and scrolling to the bottom or in your device's app
settings.
* Lollipop support. And a material theme (if you're on Lollipop).
* The video and audio call toolbar buttons can now be hidden. Useful if
you're accidentally calling people in the conversation view.
* Bumped default MMS resize dimensions to 1024×1024 and quality to 80.
* Colors! Not a fan of green? You're in luck. You can now switch between
23 different material color schemes in Hangouts! It's pretty
attractive. See note below.
* Reverted back to checkboxes in the settings. They're smaller and have
a nice little animation on Lollipop.
* The Twitter screenshot has been removed from the MMS type & quality
dialog. Screenshot fidelity is an important advantage the improved
resizing offers but the example in the dialog was not conveying that
effectively enough. The best way to test the setting is by sending an
image of your own choosing. As a pleasant side-effect that dialog is
now a good bit faster.
* Fixed a potential memory leak
* Some cleaner code
* One or two other minor bug fixes
* Some better debug output
While this is a stable release there are a few known bugs with the
color schemes. Some objects are not styled correctly. These are:
* The tab selection indicator on the main Hangouts conversation list
view
* The on-press effect on those tabs. It seems off.
* Loading spinners/indicators
* Text cursors
* Messages you send via Hangouts (not SMS) are always green. I'll
probably keep it that way.
Enjoy.
Code:
v1.6-ad8952a - 25 Dec 2014 - Stable
------------
This release is functionally identical to the v1.6-beta1 (yay for
APN splicing!) with the follow exceptions (changes):
* Support for the latest release of Google Hangouts, v2.5.81636427.
* Added AT&T and Cricket APN presets (Thanks to Mike B. @ XDA)
* You can now add an attachment after you've begun typing by
long-pressing the smiley button. This can be enabled/disabled in
settings.
* The debug log is far less verbose during the splice.
* One or two other little changes.
* It's in the stable branch.
Merry Christmas!
Code:
v1.6-beta1-64ec71e - 09 Nov 2014 - Beta
------------
This beta release introduces MMS APN Splicing. It's a relatively
experimental yet awesome feature that allows Hangouts to bypass the
lengthy APN acquisition process in certain situations. What does this
mean for you? It means when you're not on WiFi, sending and receiving
MMS will be super fast and battery efficient. When you are on WiFi or
your mobile network is not connected, Hangouts will go back to the
default, more reliable process.
This feature is off by default and must be manually enabled in the
settings. Once enabled select the APN configuration option. For
Verizon Wireless users, just select the Verizon preset. For everyone
else you need to determine your own MMS settings. These can usually be
found on Google (for example, by searching for at&t android mms apn
settings) or in your device's mobile settings.
Please report how well, or if, this works for you. Please note that in
this version of XHangouts, when you enable debug mode, the contents of
your MMS messages will be dumped to the Xposed log file to assist in
beta testing. If you're sending something sensitive over MMS (which
isn't the best idea anyway) make sure to at least disable debug mode or
clear your Xposed log.
Code:
v1.5-20d8a19 - 25 Oct 2014 - Stable
------------
Updated to work with Hangouts v2.4. Do not update if you are not yet on
Hangouts v2.4. You can determine this by going to the bottom of the
XHangouts settings. If you are not on v2.4 and there is an update
available in the Google Play Store it is most likely 2.4 and it's safe
to install it.
Code:
v1.4.1-14333ba - 21 Oct 2014 - Stable
------------
This is a quick bug fix release resolving an issue with Android's
SwitchPreference view being reset when it's scrolled off screen.
Code:
v1.4-dfe20dd - 19 Oct 2014 - Stable
------------
You can now customize the MMS image format, compression level, and
scale! Take a peek into the settings and enjoy the super snazzy new
dialogs. This release should also help those plagued by "not accepted"
errors.
Code:
v1.3-8d33328 - 06 Oct 2014 - Stable
------------
Fixed a bug where the send enter key behavior did not work properly on
(at least) the AOSP or Google keyboards. Thanks to XDA member ripv2 for
reporting.
Code:
v1.2-8905918 - 03 Oct 2014 - Stable
------------
Enter key behavior can now be tweaked! Check the settings page. The
default action of the keyboard's enter/return key can be switched to
one of the following: emoji selector (the default), newline, and send.
New icon by Adrian Babilinski!
Code:
v1.1-25002b0 - 29 Sep 2014 - Stable
------------
XHangouts can now be intricately configured in the new settings page!
To access it go to the Modules list in the Xposed Installer and tap on
the XHangouts module listing. I did not add an entry to the launcher as
1) I don't have a pretty looking icon and 2) who honestly likes Xposed
module launcher clutter?
Code:
v1.0-84539ab - 26 Sep 2014 - Beta
------------

FAQ
Q: XHangouts isn't working for me. What can I do?
A: Oh dear. If you're familiar with GitHub, creating a new issue is a great option. If not, posting right in this thread isn't a bad idea either. The more information you include in your bug report the easier (and faster) it will be for me or someone else to help. What kind of info? Your Xposed log (found in the Xposed Installer), your version of Google Hangouts, your version of XHangouts and your version of Android is often enough to get started. Please be kind and courteous to anyone offering assistance.
Q: This is pretty cool stuff. How can I help?
A: If you're familiar with how the mod works feel free to support users on this thread. If you're a developer you can fork XHangouts on GitHub and submit your improvements back in! If you think I could use some caffeine there are a number of donation options (PayPal, Bitcoin, etc.) available on my profile. Thank you!

Would you consider adding in a feature to replace the smiley key with a hard return key? Or would that be outside the scope of what you have in plan for the module?
Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. I hope it's working well for everyone. It outputs some pretty detailed log information to Xposed and by extension logcat. You can use that to determine if everything is going smoothly. Also posted some screenshots to demonstrate the changes.

What I'll be doing next is implementing a Preferences dialog so additional options can be toggled without having to reboot. This'll give me room to implement things like that without interfering with people who like it as-is.

Correct! Honestly I consider that area where Enter key belongs on a keyboard... not exactly sure when this changed to smiley faces or soft enter. Quite annoying! Do people usually leave a smiley face after every sentence??

I think it has something to do with duplicating functionality. There's already a dedicated send button, but then again there's already a smiley button... Thanks to inconsistent practices the enter key on Android can mean "send/submit/do/something or next field or new line or smiley" and each keyboard has a different way of showing you what is what. If at all.

What's your Hangouts version? I don't have a new version available to me yet so I'm assuming it's older. The version number there displays the version I built the module against. That's just a warning so the module will attempt to load anyway. If you see --- LOAD COMPLETE --- in the logs then it should work.
My version is the one listed in that log I quoted above. It does say load complete though, so it should be fine, like you said.
Thanks
Thanks for the feedback guys. I've just pushed out v1.1 which includes a settings page. Sorry for the delay as I had to battle through different possible technical implementations. I've also elevated the project to "stable" considering the lack of bug reports.

I like the idea. It would definitely be involved to implement though. When I have the extra time, I'll see what I can find. Another possible approach would be to have a separate app that reads the Android text message database and if there are any new messages it would create a notification every X minutes. Definitely not as robust or seamless as trying to integrate it into Hangouts though.

Have you ever used LightFlow? It isn't just for controlling the LED. You can use it to set reminder tones, vibration, repeating alerts (both repeating sound & vibrate separately) and more. The free version should handle Hangouts just fine. The paid version handles tons more apps. I use it to manage about 80% of the notifications on my phone, so I can tell just by the vibration pattern, led color, or sound, what type of message or even the sender plus everything is managed from one place. I just set each app's alert tone to silent and vibrate to off and then use LightFlow to manage the notification.
LightFlow can definitely handle repeat notifications though with different options for clearing them. You can set them to clear at screen on, or phone unlocked, or notification cleared, or app opened. Makes it pretty hard to miss those important notifications. And it has a night mode with a white list too.
Not trying to hijack the thread, but just wanted to point out that there is already a solution that works well for this.

Rotating MMS
I've seen calls to ExifInterface (which reads the orientation exif data we need) within Hangouts so they're trying to do something, but it isn't working. This is just a bug that they haven't fixed yet. Could be waiting for the next public Hangouts release. Or not.
Rotation is necessary because a portrait image taken with your camera isn't always encoded/stored that way. For my phone, it always captures photos in landscape mode (width > height). It differentiates between portrait and landscape photos not by resolution but by an EXIF tag. When I'm holding my phone vertically and I snap a photo all the camera app needs to do is write a different value for the orientation tag. So it does not need to do any additional processing regardless of how I'm holding the phone. Unfortunately, if we do not read this tag when we load in the image, it will be rendered incorrectly, the way the pixels are stored.
Resizing MMS
Carriers, being the greedy bastards that they are, won't let decent quality images float around on their MMSCs. An MMSC is their server infrastructure that receives multimedia messages from subscribers and allows them to be viewed from the recipients. No matter how good looking the image you send to an MMSC, it will compress the ever living hell out of it. With my tests on Verizon, it will resize your image to 640x480 or less and the resulting file will be JPEG at roughly 30 KB. This works ok for photos, but if you're sending anything else prepare to be disappointed. Or confused when your friend tells you he can't read that screenshot.
We can't "fix" the MMSC, but we can send it the highest quality image possible giving them less room to screw it up. Google Hangouts uses the Bitmap.createScaledBitmap Android API to quickly load in a downscaled version of your image. The downscaling algorithm used is so embarrassingly poor I wonder how the API call ever made it into the OS. XHangouts uses a different set of API calls that result in a much higher quality output. By sending it an image looking as good as possible while still resizing close to the final size the MMSC desires, we can make the best of a bad situation.

Can you elaborate? I can receive MMS on WiFi just fine, as long as I am also connected to the cell network. MMS messages won't download over WiFi, so your phone should automatically download the MMS message over the cell network even when WiFi is on unless you have mobile data disabled, have no cell service, have no SIM card installed or are in airplane mode.
If this isn't happening, it is likely an issue with your device/ROM.

This process is really tricky. The blame can be placed on Hangouts as well, if it's not working over WiFi. Android disables mobile connectivity when connected to WiFi. This means that when Hangouts is sending or receiving MMS it has to manually ask Android to re-enable the mobile data connection, which is generally something no app ever needs to do; Android wants you to rely on it to decide what network is best. This connection has to stay alive for the duration of the MMS transaction regardless of WiFi being toggled or either signal's strength. Lots of room for bugs here. It also needs to "connect" to the MMS APN. This is where the majority of my issues are. A perfectly good APN configuration but receiving APN related errors. Hangouts will be connected to the mobile network (so perfectly able to send/receive MMS) but it won't be "connected" to the MMS APN and will therefore refuse to operate.
This is why I really wish Android had a standard MMS API to avoid this kind of finagling.

Important Note: Flash ROM then reboot. Don't flash any other zip along with ROM (i.e. gapps and other). First boot takes time (almost 10 minutes). So be patient. Set the device settings and reboot to recovery then flash Gapps and other patches. Also take note that Supersu and sound patch already merged in v5.1.7.25R.

YouTube HD Playback
Newer youtube app versions have broken video quality detection. For fixing that problem you need to use a older youtube version. This version is working: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-10-14-56-android-apk-download/
Second Method
To fix HD Videos on Youtube all we have to do is:
Thanks to : @Typhus_
Install Latest Youtube App
Open it and see any video (one you know it should be 1080p available but it's stuck at 360p)
Navigate to /data/data/com.google.android.youtube/shared_prefs (use any explorer with root permission)
Open youtube.xml
Find:
Code:
<boolean name="h264_main_profile_supported5.1.1" value="false" />
Replace to:
Code:
<boolean name="h264_main_profile_supported5.1.1" value="true" />
Save the file
Enjoy!

VPN
thanks to @nervehammer
Follow these step to enjoy VPN in cm builds ..
1. Go to psiphon and choose Browser-Only mode don't tunnel whole device.
2. Go to its logs tab and check the port of http proxy.
3. Now open WiFi setting and long press to your WiFi network (from which u are connected) go to modify tab and from check the advanced options.
4. Chosen manual proxy option and put host name as 127.0.0.1 and port as the no. which you noted in step 2 (eg. 8080) and click save .
Enjoy you have set up a VPN connection successfully.
You can open your browser and check your IP
Note: You have to undo this after you don't need VPN by changing manual proxy to none .
For those who want to use Orbot vpn
This is very similar to previous vpn workaround for psiphon
Just follow these step for Orbot
1. Open Orbot and long press to start orbot.
2. When all bootstrapped done go to check browser it will ask for normal browser or install Orweb .
3. Open Orweb and volla you r connected to tor but actually its not to tunnel your traffic to vpn go to Orweb settings.
4. Now note the proxy host and proxy port generally it is localhost(same as 127.0.0.1) and 8118 respectively but it may change so better to keep updated with port numbers.
5. Now go to wifi setting and long press the wifi (from which u r connected) and check advanced options.
6. Choose manual proxy option and put the host name 127.0.0.1 and port no. (e.g. 8118 ) which u noted in step 4
Now u can check https://check.torproject.org from any browser and volla Congo this browser is configured to use tor.
Sorry for long guide but it is detail enough so that anyone can easily setup tor in cm builds.
Note: You have to undo manual proxy option to none after you don't use vpn.
OBB on SD Card
Use following xposed module
Obb on SD
Module Obb on SD attempts to make it seamless - just enable module, reboot and move obb's to SD card (to same folder: Android/obb) - that's that. No need to enter any path or whitelist/blacklist any app. Do you want to only move Obb from Grand Theft Auto? Then only move that obb. Obb on SD will detect "obb on SD" and enable hooks only for this single game.
