Good day! Please delete if repost or not allowed.
For those have korean Galaxy Alpha with SMS to MMS limit conversation issue.
I have Galaxy Alpha SM-G850L and I have that issue also, I tried also the xposed framework with disabling SMS to MMS conversation and it partially works, but the problem is you can't send a message with longer than 160 characters and yes it wasn't converted to MMS but the system still detects it as an MMS.
I like the stock Messaging app from samsung because of its functions, I tried many messaging apps that could replace the stock and of course I like also the looks of the stock Samsung Messaging.
Luckily I Found this Chomp SMS with similar functions and the most I like was you can theme it to your liking.
I already modified the apk for Stock Samsung Messages "Icon" and also changed the name to "Messages" to mimic the stock of course.
Instructions:
1.) Download the MMs.apk just an ordinary app and install
2.) next copy the samsung.zip theme to sdcard/chomp/themes
3.) After installing go to settings and use the Samsung theme which I made.
Its not a paid app from playstore.
Nice work!
But I'm still happy using SMS Secure
Thanks, btw If im rich I'll use that SMS secure even its not customisable hehe!
Chomp wins for me. I haven't downaded it for you thgh sir. But I like your mods

Hi guys.
I recently installed 2.1 on my X10 and Sony's SMS app is so bad. Its slow and inefficient. When one sends a message the application blocks until the message is sent so you can't handle multiple conversations simultaneously. The loading of conversations also blocks the app so you can't do anything. On top of all this it is generally slow.
I went on a Quest to get a new app working. I tried Handcent and ChompSMS but they wouldn't send MMS messages and I wasn't happy with their interface.
I then tried to get the default Android 2.1 SMS app working but the picture took over the list view. (see attachment)
Has anyone ran into these problems and/or can suggest a better, more efficient SMS/MMS app?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
Erm... handscent sms supports MMS...
You just have to press the (+) button

I have been trying it but it won't send MMS for me nor receive any. (it seems to use the default messaging app to receive them and then reads the messaging database, but i had removed it to try the default android one [the one the pic]).
Ahhh okay

Hey,
Do you find the stock app slow? Maybe i just have to re flash.
Scott
My problem with the SE app is that when you send to multiple recipients there's no equivalent to Handcent's 'send as split threads' setting. Makes it all messy and confusing imho. Can't say I'm taken with Handcent's interface, but it's functionality and ease of use is the best I've found.
No problem with SMS either.

hey all... i find different problem with sony's stock sms app...it seems like i can't send sms with more than 160 characters, but with other sms apps works fine. i really like the stock sms, runs really smooth...
i called the local s.e. support but as always, they don't have a clue about the problem
any help?

Hm , that's weird. Coming from my mere experience in Graphics either something is wrong with the .9.png files (have you edited or tried to edit anything at all!?) or something is wrong with the dpi of the icons used...
On the other hand I could be totaly wrong!

You want more than 160 characters?
Here in Greece we 're begging for 160 characters! We currently have 75 because all our alphabet consists of 'special-UNICODE' characters.
And If I'm not mistaken 160 is the maximum you can get anyway!
So I guess your next choice is e-mail instead of SMS , or Google Talk!

well the max sms i wrote contained 13 sms-es, so i'm kinda obsessed (yea yea, i could write mms instead)..and sorry 160 is not the maximum, coz with handcent sms i can send more than 160 characters, but i don't like the program...
the s.e. support said that that we should try to hard reset it and then it should work..but first backup! ... will report later
*EDIT - tested --> everything's the same....

I have not edited that photo in anyway. That's what the default AOSP Mms.apk looks like when put into Sony's 2.1 theme. Its useless in that state.
If you look for better sms app try Pure Messenger...for me it's almost perfect
A Way?
Now with all the ports of custom ROMs out there, does anyone know how to port over the stock SMS app to a Sony Ericsson based ROM?
Hi,
Please tell me how to get rid of the god-awful slow texting app that comes with this phone, and replace it with the stock android texting app.
Thanks!
Are you referring to the AT&T messages app? 'Cause the SMS app that comes stock works fine for me :/
Stock messages app works fine for me. If you have root you may be able to find differnt message apps, but my first suggestion is to give handcent a try as it is my go to sms app for when I'm having issues with cusom ROMs being buggy with mms. Its got a threaded look to it, much like iphone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmhhbmRjZW50Lm5leHRzbXMiXQ..
It also has font packs and other stuff on the app store.

I far prefer GO SMS Pro, love the interface and features, but with all the third-party SMS apps I have an issue of double and triple texts being sent to people. I agree the Samsung SMS app is painfully slow. I hate using it, but it's my only choice because it doesn't send out duplicate texts. :/

Thats very odd, I've never got complaint of this. Have you googled the issue to see if there is a known solution or work around? As common as these apps are you can't possibly be the only one misfortunate enough to experience this. I have had issues in the past getting numerous notifications despite turning native notifications off for SMS, but thats an entirely different issue.
How do i replace the Samsung message app with the vanilla android one? The Samsung one is slow and is a failed attempt at copying iphone. The keyboard even blocks the send button!

Mostly I see people on ICS complaining about this issue, but there are several people on GB complaining about it as well, for both GO SMS and Handcent and a few others on Google Play.
I had the duplicate notification issue with Handcent - even though I had disabled notifications for the stock app AND frozen it. Didn't have that problem with GO SMS. Had an odd problem when I tried Chomp SMS, where all incoming messages were anonymous and upon trying to view them, the message couldn't be found. That even happened in the stock app, so long as I had Chomp installed. Uninstalling fixed that issue immediately.
But so far as I can tell, some people just have the problem, and most don't. I have yet to see a reply from any of the devs about the issue. I've tried completely resetting the phone to factory spec but I still got the duplicate message issue.
I really, REALLY want to use GO SMS. Although something else I noticed is that some people's messages were being sent to the wrong contacts... Perhaps I'll try the vanilla Android apk...
How do you try the vanilla android apk?

Thanks but I don't really want a third party version with ads. I don't get it...isn't there a plain messaging app that comes with android (like what was on the nexus one), or is it proprietary to every device? It seems like this shouldn't be such a difficult thing to install instead of the crappy samsung one. Am I missing something?
i'm surprised. the sms app is not bad i'm the note. I've seen worse. (though i am using the rogers version)
I'm coming from a rooted Inspire 4G (cyanogen) and I've noticed that the texting on the Samsung Messaging app is a bit sluggish. And some keys don't respond to my fast fingers.. Yet the app itself runs very fast (ie open app, open threads, go back, etc).
One thing I did was uninstall Swype through Titanium and I think I've noticed a difference in the keyboard speed. It may just be my imagination though

Although that, some device have [Mod] to fix like samsung galaxy s. I have try at my old galaxy s and I can sent whatever long sms as I like without being force convert mms. How about evo 3d? This is old problem, but I still can not have solution for evo 3d
Is there anyone can help ?

As far as I know no one has really asked this question before. I don't think there is a fix for the 3 page convert to MMS "problem." Is there a legitimate reason why you'd prefer 4+ pages of sms over 1 MMS message?

Yes all "stock sms apps" when creating sms & it exceeds 3pages it will convert it into mms (most peopleget charged for sending mms)
Darky Rom had a fix/tweak which allowed longer sms text without it being converted to mms..
I am after that tweak/fix !!!
PLEASE HELP

Just use BigSMS, Go SMS Pro or Handcent SMS. All of those are free. Stock messaging app on some phones doesn't have a feature that you need.

very simple fix change your mms the one i use under setting you put a check where it says split sms so when you type a long txt it convert it and it gets to the other person in 2 or 3 txt.
copy it to your sd-card use root explorer or which ever one you use or sdk move it to system/app then click on permissions make the correct settings reboot the phone once rebooted find it click on it then setting and you will see where it says split sms. i uploaded a copy if needed.
Am I missing something here?
I've actually never heard of it being converted over to MMS.
My phone will send an 8 page message as SMSs..
And I get them counted as 8 SMSs on the bill..

well let me try usually sms has a split of 160 character so when you go over the 160 it treats it as a mms character but it gets sent as a txt but in 2 parts or depending how long the txt is
It differs user to user (and service provider restrictions)..stock app for some will convert SMS into MMS after character limit is reached..
Only some users will have stock messaging app settings as unlimited characters..
(use Handcent messaging app or better still custom roms)

Not sure if this helps but I had similar problem way back when I was running NonSense ROM the fix is you have to flash HTCMessageProvider.apk.
PM me if you need the file ...also I am under the assumption of you using a custom ROM.

Hello xda people.
So I tried installing both the 4.1.2 apk from AOKP rom and the 4.1.1 from some defualt rom. I got the messaging part working with both .apk's. My problem however is that when I replace them every new incoming message gets put into a new thread in the message app.
How would I go about to fix this?
More editing: I wasn't 100% clear, but what I want was the android messaging app, not the samsung one. I also figured it could be that I have to replace the contact.apk as well? Like always, any input would be nice.
I did remove the stock app with titanium backup for those who might be interested in doing the same.
Also: I'm doing this because I want the emoji support in the default app without having to use a custom sms app.
I'm running Omega v31.1 so using the stock 4.1.1 samsung sms app I would presume

Up. Same thing here. I'm running the stock Samsung ROM, and I've tried replacing SecMms.apk with almost all mms.apk's I've found on xda-dev. Always the same issue, although it does happen only for some contacts, not all. For some contacts, it's indeed reusing an old thread, as it's supposed to.
UP
I have the same issue...stock rooted galaxy s3 android 4.1.1
I have tried alla MMS.apk 4.X+ version but everytime the same error
btw gs3 4.1.1 ita
The alleged fix is to add international codes to all your numbers. I tried this using number fixer. It worked for about 5 hours then messages started creating new threads again. Very annoying, ended up going back to GoSMS
I tried this too....everyone have a fix for everything here, so thought that someone fixed this
Same problem here, any suggestions?
same here.what a pity some modded APK are realy nice
possible fix
hi,
try this..
everytime you create a message, use the contact app first to select the recipient from there you click the icon for messaging beside the mobile number. then, when the recipient reply it will thread to you original message.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but you CANNOT. I've got a stock, (no root) Galaxy Note 3 and I've been trying a few different ways to install and/or push the apk to my phone. In my experience, it will not work unless you can manipulate the files while rooted.
Even though the other poster didn't really give you any sort of an answer at all, you could take his advice and look into one of the 3rd party messaging apps from the play store.
This is a list of s5 apps and mods and everything s5 related for the note 3 they could possibly help you with your s3 and also could help the guy above me

u must root, then u can get it........
Odds are the Samsung messaging app is tied in to the framework somehow as well as KitKat so it's no wonder it wont work. Third party apps are your only option if you don't like the stock S3 one or Hangouts. Unfortunately they all have their pros and cons with ads being the main con in most of them. Go SMS used to be OK ad wise but now they force them on you in fake text messages, message list screen and a pop up on closing but it still has lots of options. I have tried Textra and Chomp and both feel clunky and weird to use.
How do I get modified emoticons in incoming messages with stock message app? I see original, green smileys.
