The "Reply All" function in SMS - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry in advance if this has specifically been addressed. Doing a quick search didn't seem to cover it.
And I started an exact thread over in the Inspire 4G General forum, not knowing where to post it. As I understand, this would be a better place to post this question.
Is it possible for the experts here in XDA to write something into Android's code to allow for a Reply All feature in SMS, like in iPhone's SMS? I'm thinking the Reply All feature must be unfixable because there is conversations all over the internet for people requesting Google to fix it. Some have even stayed with Apple because they would miss that feature too much.

There are 3rd party apps working on this. Only google will be able to add the function to the default and to be honest it doesn't seem high on the list

Scroll to the bottom - some hope it seems..

Thanks for the link. Hopefully this gets put into Google's basic code and baked into Android.

Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.

Indeed this supposedly is put into AOSP JB 4.2 ROM's natively now. I just hope I can get a ROM for my Inspire, but if not, at least it'll be there for future and some present phones.

[Q] Facebook renaming Google contacts

Anyone know how to sort the problem of Facebook (and Skype) renaming contacts on my phone?
When you join a Facebook contact up with a Google contact it will choose the Facebook name over the Google contact name in my contacts list.
For example:
Google contact name: Joe Bloggs
Facebook name: Joe RandomName
It would then rename my correct Joe Bloggs to Joe RandomName in on my phone contacts.
It is driving me mad. It does not make the change when I log into Google contacts online as it still shows as Joe Bloggs but not on phone.
Surely you should be able to choose the correct Google name over some random Facebook name. Damn Touchwiz

No need to be abusive!
This is a forum where people ask questions. I did perform a search and found no answer hence my question - I have been on this forum since 2007 so I know how it works.
Furthermore, your response was useless. I am well aware that I don't have to sync my contacts with Facebook but I want to for many reasons.
And, whilst you are on the subject of giving me tips on how to use this forum please use proper English and not abbreviated text / SMS type chat that a 10 year old would use. This would help when people like me are searching for answers to such questions.
Thank you and have a good day!

That is some good advice since I know how hard searching can be. For example one time I was searching for info I know was in one of the 12,000+ post rom threads a month after I read it. I searched for over a hour in that thread but never found it becuase the person had bad spelling and abbreviations.
How bad is that when I know for a fact the info in on this forum in a specific post but can't find it because I am not capable of remembering the persons atrocious spelling.
That is just one example of the many searches that have failed because of the same problem.

Noob here: Can someone give me a quick how-to to a nice/simple/fast Android build?

Just bought this and it seems there are so many options to choose from and so many old threads.
I'd like a rom with 0 issues. I frequently will use contacts, check email, want condensed messages and calls, firefox, GPS, facebook, camera, bluetooth, usb storage, tethering, wifi-router.
Can someone please post an easy how-to?

There are no roms with 0 issues. Even WM has issues. There are no 100% complete (and easy) how-tos specific to a single rom as the only version that is officially released to the best of my knowledge is FRX07.1. The GBX version are better I feel (I run GBX nand as my daily)
Android SD is not to hard but corrupts it's data.img file easily if not shut down properly. Android Nand is challenging if you have never flashed anything before.
If you wrote your request like this, you would get a lot of more willing help.
"I am new to the flashing world. I want to learn, and I realize I will need to read a lot first. Could someone please direct me to the best and most current threads so I can educate myself. Thanks for all your help."
We are glad to help, and point you in the right direction. We do get tired of spoon feeding people in a dev forum.
Read all this, and then ask your specific questions and/or post in the thread that covers the Rom you are trying to load. Also the more info you give us when you have a question the better. Your carrier, type of phone, the trouble shooting you have done is all mandatory. Logs can be very useful too depending on what the issue is.

Moved to Android general - this had no business being in the CDMA section...
OP, perhaps you should ask a specific question, and it would be best to post in the build/ROM thread you're using - that way we don't have to guess what build/ROM you're having an issue with.
Thanks.

Mobile Broadcast since going to CM10.1

Hi everyone,
Since I've upgraded my GS3 to cm10.1 - I keep getting mobile broadcasts saying '020' which is the London area code, why do these keep coming up? Ive tried to disable them but I've run out of options
Please help
Anyone?

pointless post, fair enough he could search but also you couldve explained more about the rule/guidelines.also its said that if you have not anything useful to post then dont
- to the O.P i think you need to look in your messages folder and its somewhere along the lines of service messages that will need disabling
Was not talking about the first rule. People should not post before reading the rules, there's nothing pointless about that
pointless as in meaning your not helping anyone in any way,let the moderators do there job and if you get the urge to help them then rightfully press the report button and report it,
Thanks to the person that actually helped. Looking into it that way. The other guy, don't mini-mod.. He's right, if you want to report the post, go for it - otherwise don't try bump your post count up here.
Cheers
I'm also getting this. turned off all mobile broadcast options in settings and still getting them. they are only area codes like 020 or 0170 etc. or strings of area codes like that. quite annoying
Suggest one of the CM discussion threads .
jje
Turn alert notification ON in mobile broadcast but untick everything else.
I have no idea why it's backwards, it just is.
Had the same problem (in UK too). Quick googling suggested to delete "Mobile Broadcast Receiver" application. Since then no broadcasts anymore!

[Q] Custom Rom Queries

Hi,
I just installed the Flashing Droid Custom ROM on my GT-I9300. Strangely im not able to post on the thread related to that ROM. So i'm posting here.
Well I find that I'm unable to access any of the widgets like the default contact ones, google search ones etc... Secondly, is worth over clocking the device? I just use it call, text, facebook, instagram etc..
Thanks

It's not strange at all that you can't post there. It's part of the guidelines for XDA. Members with less than 10 posts are not allowed to post in the those Development forums - which is why the have the Q&A section for your particular phone for you to ask specific questions about it and you can post in. But as far as the rom goes, not too sure. It's either because it's using the S5 apps or it's heavily debloated or both.

Help with writing Xposed module to bypass audio recording limits.

Hello all,
I am interested in writing an Xposed module to enable all Android audio recording apps to have the ability to record all types of audio regardless of if a given app tries to block it, and including phone calls. Is this the appropriate way to handle the goal here? I believe I have tracked down the function calls in the Android API that need to be spoofed to achieve this, but I am still struggling. If I share what I have so far, would it be appropriate to ask here? I am not even sure if Xposed is the right way to go about this. Perhaps it should be done using Zygisk?
Thank you.

Hello.
I would like this!
Why just audio? What about video too?
What automated recording? I like it for VoIP and videoconferencing.

I apologize for the error. Even though I have been an XDA member for a while, I'm not one of the most active members, and therefore sometimes still struggle with navigating to the proper forum when asking questions. Thank you for pointing this out and correcting it.

Well, for video, there's really nothing that needs done that isn't already available in other Xposed modules. The only reason video recording would be blocked by an app is if it sets FLAG_SECURE, and there are already several Xposed modules that override it. Here is the one that I use on my phone: https://github.com/VarunS2002/Xposed-Disable-FLAG_SECURE
As for automated recording for VoIP and videoconferencing, that is outside the scope of what I would like to achieve with this module. Ideally, what I want this module to do nothing more than allows audio recording apps to access audio streams that they would not normally have access to. I am not sure if this is feasible though. Currently, all apps that have the ability to intercept audio streams that are not accessible through the Android API are closed source. The community needs an open source solution, and I would like to provide that, but I need help.
So, does anyone have an interest in this? Unfortunately I am kind of at a dead end until this is sorted out.
I'm very interested in this, but I'm not a developer unfortunately.

Thanks for your interest! If you know of anyone that is experienced with Xposed module development and would be willing to help me out, please pass this along to them.
Hello all! Is there still nobody with an interest in doing this?
I'm interested in this project as well, for change of that outdated VoIP recorder, but don't have any knowledge about it unfortunately, we have to somehow make more people know about this thread

Is there any way to make this thread alive and bring some developers? With new android versions upcoming and new devices, we won't be able to use boldbeast voip recorder anymore, and there's literally not a single alternative app to it, even cube acr isn't that good, can't record discord, skype, zoom etc..

I'd love to invest time in this again, but unfortunately, my personal life is packed with other things that are limiting my free time to further investigate this at the moment.
