TXT message limit - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just realised that there is a 3 message limit before it changes to multimedia.
I wanted to know if there was a way to remove this limit.
NOTE: I know you can dl other messaging app but the stock is good enough for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

You can go to pulsars rom which has this fix for the stock app. Haven't seen it come up as a seperate thing. You don't tend to see too much work on things like the texting. I always asumed it was because there was little interest in working on something that is already available in several feature rich and well hashed out apps. I was kinda hoping for some tweaks for touch wiz but wonder if there will ever be much happening there for the same reason.

Yeah as krabman said, flash VillainRom 1.1 and install VillainTweaks works like a charm =)

Handcent SMS do the job, too... On stock rom ;-)

Well, nobody ever mentions things like this needing done.
Luckily someone told me about the 10 recipient, 3 SMS limit, so both these are removed if you flash VillainROM 1.1, and then use VRTweaks to take the MMS app fix

Ahem, I did sorta mention in your rom thread that if you were interested in adding a few basic tweaks to TW such as rows and columns it would find an audience with at least one poster. Assuming it wasn't too much work of course. lol

Good, well I have the same problem! 've walked a few things to try! and the exprimentei Handcend, but I do not detect all the contacts! someone already got the solution!?
greetings

Most ROMs should now carry this mod. Install CheckROM v6 and download it from the Kitchen app.

Use the 2.1 dialer on 2.2?

I just switched from a 2.1 ROM (BeHero I believe it was) to the Elelinux_Froyo_2.2_v1.5 ROM on my Hero. One thing I miss is the 2.1 dialer, you know the one where you could enter for example "2662" and it would find all contacts with the letters "anna" and/or with number containing 2662. I really liked that. Dialer One does the same thing, but it is very laggy and slow.
I want the one to the right:
static.whalesalad.com/i/n1_vs_inc/phone_large.jpg
First I thought it was Sence-specific, but after flashing the above ROM but with Sence included, I realised this was not the case.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Dialer one from market has T9. Froyo is AOSP and it has the default Google Dialer.
another suggestion nubdial
This question has been asked EXTREMELY many times AND it's in the wrong section...
Another suggestion is to post in the right place as this is not development... Lol sorry it just gets on peoples nerves so thought i'd jump in there before someone else does
Lol bummer seems i was too late
Haha...

you can take the dialer from 2.1 and put it in your rom?
if yes you can try with adb filemanager or update.
but i dont know...
Moved to Q&A as not development

i had the same problem as i was on elelinux froyo 1.4. i thought that dialer one and nubdial were just two ****ty piececes of software. than i flashed froydVillain and OMFG they both worked brilliantly, no lags, nothing... also everything was just so much better in FV.
i think you should try too.
Yep, i use dialer one and it works perfectly. Another app you might want to try (instead of stock android contacts) is phonebook 2.0. downloaded it y/day and its amazing, syncs facebook pics too. Also shows activity, such as calls, messages, facebook updates, lets you reply. Anyway its way better then stock android contact IMO.
These two apps made me feel a lot better about going to froyo without htc apps.

[Q] Writing SMS with swype goes slow

Hi there
I have a lil question.
Since a few days I use Swype (Version 3.9.10.10.5032 Blackbird)
It's a great way to type very fast, and I love it!
There is only one problem, when I want to write a SMS, then I can use Swype, but my text doesn't appear in the screen yet, but it comes a few seconds later.
In my opinion, the cause is that it have to load in all the textmessages I had with the person I want to write to.
Because when I removed all the messages, then I can write without any problems, but when there are already some textmessages above, then the problem appears.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Do I need a different version of Swype?
Thanks in advance!
Greetz,
Joshoon

Thanks for you reply
I made the changes to my settings as you said.
This solves the problem? have you experienced that by yourself too?
and what does the 'Operations' slider actually do?
I cannot test if it works right now, because I need to get some more text messages again, because I removed them all yesterday because of this problem.
This will make the Swype response time faster.Honestly I myself dont have any lag problem despite having many SMS loaded.
Im using the original Swype Samsung Omnia II V.2 and I am happy with it, been using it all the time, however there are many who think that the interface is not so nice.

The interface of Swype? I like that one a lot!
Anyways, my text messages count will increase slowely coming days, so maybe then I can see if the setting helped me.

Thats the thing, v2.0 is fast but the newer v3.9 (which is really built for our phones as it comes from the US HD2) is slower. In theory you would assume this be faster. Besides looking much better with newer features like haptic feedback, multiple deleting capability etc, it simply has a long lag when many SMS's are present.
If you reply via traditional mode its a workaround as it doesnt load all the SMS's however its not a true fix.
Like youself, i couldnt stand the lag anymore, reverted back to v2.0 and its much faster. If i could be bothered there are skins out there like Lessro's and Baly's which make it appear alot better if you like.

If 3.9 doesnt work as I want, then I will give 2.0 a try.
First I need some more text messages again

[Q] calkulins Rom

i just noticed that the "My Apps" button in the market now looks like a phone and says "sprint"
If i click on it it doesn't take me to my apps.
Anyone else having this problem?
That's normal for this build. If you click on your Menu, you'll find My Apps there.
Thanks you were right
Best ROM on XDA
+1
I'm really enjoying this ROM. The speed of the machine is phenomenal.
Love the Rom ad well but can't seem to get the market updated or to show all apps. Any thoughts?
I've tried market enabled to no avail.
Issue with ROM or with G-Tab?
I've noticed that if I let the g-tab go to sleep, I'm having to reboot it get it to wake up.
Is anyone else having this issue? I've had my tablet since x-mas, but have nto used it much. It sat in a desk drawer for about 2 months, and I'm just now getting into using it.

I have this issue with every rom ive tried on my gtab. So now I pretty much just install clem's kernel everytime. Plus it gives me CIFS so I can stream media from my windows pc .

Yeah, again it's just the build. There are a ton of hacks that will get you more of the market, but I doubt you'll ever get "everything". Considering that the GTab wasn't blessed by Google, we're lucky to have the devs here to get the market at all.

Another issue with this ROM. Some have fixed it by going to Clemsyn's kernel, others to Pershoot's and still others by using CPU Master Free. Personally, I just set my tab's Screen Timeout to Never. What can I say...I like simple.

I agree. The only problems I see with it are no news and weather widget like on tnt, and the horrible photo album (I think it's from stock?)
Fireware
This may be a stupid question, so I am sorry if it is, but Calkulins v1.1 says it is "Based on rooted 2.2 / FRF91 - TnT 3991"...
so can you run it on the 1.1-3588 firmware, or will that brick?
Again, sorry for my ignorance...
Thanks!
ROM's and Firmware are the same thing. If you're asking whether you can use ClockworkMod or standard recovery, the answer is yes. Calkulin's ROM is a hybrid using the newer 3991 build for features but the older bootloader and recovery. It shouldn't cause you any trouble loading it over 3588.
Thanks! Sorry, I confused the firmware with bootloader, thanks for straightening that out!
No problem. Just want to make sure that I understand the question correctly. Happy modding!
All Done!
Woot!! I will say, I bought this on the woot! deal... and although I consider myself very computer savvy, I have never rooted/hijacked/whatever a device before...
Happily this was super easy! I wanted use the stock ROM for a bit to get familiar with it, but I just couldn't stand how slow/unresponsive/just crappy it was!!
So I jumped the gun and started in... luckily I did a lot of reading first!!
Loaded up Clockworkmod - and made a backup first!! lol
Used clockworkmod to install Calkulins ROM---OMG is it fast!!
The found that I was having the sleep-death issue... so I loaded up Clemsyns Kernel Too!!
Not a single hiccup! Even for a noob- this is super easy! Just follow all the great advice on the XDA forums (and don't skip steps!) and you can't screw it up.
Thanks to all the great people on here, for the hard work, and patience... I love seen good communities like this!
DeadEnd
Which version of Clemsyns is recommended?
Hi,
clakulins ROM is my prefered ROM so far
But, it needs some issues to be addressed to make it my daily driver.
1- sleep-to-death
I know we can use another kernel to fix this (so I keep this fix for later if everything else can work)
2- Settings/Family accounts/add member
This FC every single time. I definitly need this functionality. My Gtab being a family device....
3- Photos is horrible as previosuly pointed out in this thread. I want a centralized place for all my photos, or at least for local storage + picasa. With this gallery, we can only access picasa public albums. What about my own account !!!
4- Photos started to display pictures roatated one quarter to the left. It doesnt let me re-rotate them back to original. It does that for evey single picture, i cant fix this. Photos is now unusable
I tried a few Photos gallery apps from the market (6-7 so far). None of them works to my liking.
I just want somethings simple that get access to all my pics.
5- Cant play videos anymore. Not even the sample 'car' and 'king kong' that came with the Gtab.
If I can fix all of the above, calkulin will be my only and permanent ROM.
(ps items 4 and 5 were previously working ok in this ROM, this started yesterday)
Also, another things that is on my whish list:
- Have bluetooth HID
I have this blutooth keyboard collecting dust on the used parts shelve that I would like to use with the Gtab
thank you calkulin for all,
So, I decided to install clemsyn kernel to fix this sleep-death problem.
No problem installing, everything went well.
But now instead of comlaining that it cant play videos, it just FC on every videos I try to play.
I feel a complete reinstall will be necessary.

[Q] BEST of the BEST!!!

Hello,
i rooted my phone not too long ago and i love it!!!! i tried BAMF 3.0 and i didnt like it much at all, it was choppy but i got it to be smooth with changing the cpu, well as of now i am just rooted and my question is: what apps do u recommend(rooted) ? i got rom manager already ^^ and also, what is some roms outs their that u like? and why? im looking for a new ROM but dont know where to continue xD
and also, is there an app that hides all my apps on my screens? ive searched but no luck, kind of like in which on a computer we can view, or not view desktop icons
As far as apps; Titanium Backup will let you back up apps and data, RootExporer will let you access files you couldn't otherwise (be careful with both, you can delete or uninstall things you shouldn't), wifi tether will let you tether over wifi I recommend version 2.0.7 (google it), those are the biggies anyways. Check my sig for my ROM recommendation, links included. This setup has offered bulletproof stability for me and the best battery life I've seen. Of course phones and opinion vary so try a few and see what you like. As far as that last part, I have no idea.
Are you talking about temporarily hiding the widgets and icons, per permanently?
If temporarily, why not just set up a blank screen? Stock sense came with several desktops with a widget, or two. All you'd have to is remove some not by long pressing on them.

Ty both of u, definitely will check ur info!
And I don't want to delete them permanently, just not visible, I've searched and I can't find any at all, and yea deleting is always good, I've just always like hiding icons on my computer, and i'd like to also on my tb xD
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
if you mean hiding apps in the app drawer, I think you'll need a different launcher like LauncherPro or ADW. I don't know that there's any way to hide apps in the drawer of the sense launcher
OP, Das Bamf 3.0 is a great rom, but I don't like it either!
I have tried 6 roms on the TB and finally found the right one for me, which given your description sounds like it might be perfect for you as well.
Liquid Thunderbread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160637)
This is a VERY stripped down and fast rom. Also it is AOSP instead of Sense based and is only 66 mb!
It is awesomely fast and smooth without any of the BS, I seriously cannot recommend it enough. I like it so much that I made my first rom based donation to the developer and plan on doing so again if they continue updating.
Let me know what you think if you decide to give it a shot.
Im on synergy and i love it. its speedy quick but still lets you keep a lot of the fancy stuff. also the battery is great on 4g or 3g, wifi is a little lacking. and an app you should definitively download is setcpu ( i think its free if youve signed up for xda here) itll let you overclock or set up underlcoking for when your screen is off etc.
on my older incredible, i had an ad-block app (got it from the app market). it blocked the banner ads that are in a lot of the apps.

[Q]Has anyone figured out a way to kill off blur and still have contacts work?

Hate blur... hate blur, want it completely gone. I've considered the idea of installing 3rd party contacts/dialer combo and then sequentially ripping out every f'n blur apk...
thoughts?
how about using all the AOSP stuff?
either way I want blur to die NOW, i got a nandroid backup that I can softbrick and reload so let's do this shiiit!
I have go dialer and contacts and it works beautiful but still pulls up blur when it's all said and done. Roms are coming...be patient
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Why does everyone hate Blur? It's not even that bad. Looks a lot better on this than the older versions. One thing I don't like about it, is the Facebook integration. Messes up with the regular Facebook app, so I can't send messages or use chat..

this is why. and all that crap wastes a ton of space. I want only the ability to copy contacts from fecebook one at a time when needed. It's fecebook, I don't need that crap polluting my contacts.
I mean, as soon as a few more people get in my google+ circles I won't need any ability to integrate fecebook into my experience, leaving me able to completely rid myself of the useless integration that will waste working memory and contribute to killing my battery.
forgive me for being one of those nerds who went to an OPEN SOURCE platform. I buy a "computerphone" based on specs, not software
as far as blur, if you like that kinda crap, great! but I'm sure motorola has made many dirty rags polishing that bloated turd.
i want to use the launcher of my choice and AOSP dialer/contacts/messaging. I dont wanna waste bandwidth cause I travel alot and sometimes I'm stuck with very very slow data. (the fact that contacts uses data every time I scroll through it just to update pictures is useless and total bullshiiit)
i have some downtime to spend in the airport coming up, so I need something to do. if anyone has found a good way to do this, or at least get halfway there (particularly making the AOSP apps work, and which versions from where to use.) I've not seen anyone have success yet and I've spent days reading post after post after post without finding someone who says "f yeah it works, here's how ya do it, blah blah"
