I'm just trying to see what ppl think.
I use handcent sms and have the reminder set on every 2 minutes. I just wanted to know if this is drains thebattery. I'm pretty sure it does affect the battery but I'm not sureif its really that bad..

I use handcent and froze the stock mms apk. And I also have two reminders set to go off every 2 minutes for messages. It doesn't seem to affect my battery life too much

Actually I froze with root uninstaller.
But I'm sure ether one will do fine , you can even just delete the apk since handcent doesn't depend on the system messaging app

That's what I did I uninstalled the stock mssaging app. I find handcent to be a million times better with all the custimozable settins.

If u get widget locker:
It allows you to use the notification pulldown while locked. When i started using handcent i missed that slide to read. but now i can just pull down the pull down and click any notifications
Also if u delete the stock mms. It makes MMS not go through.

Actually I deleted it and MMS have gone through perfectly a couple 30 times since I've deleted it.
There's an option in handcent to handle both mms and sms.

idk this happened to me randomly too never figured out what was the cause it just went away with an ODIN flash

I personally use goSMS, but they're pretty much the same thing, but I noticed I had a lot of wakelock on spare parts when using handcent. On goSMS, I haven't seen it(yet).

I don't believe there is a way built in. There are a few apps in the market that will do it tho. I used to use SMS popup and it worked.

I use Handcent. It now has Su permissions and you can back up on their server too.
If you party with tasker enough I'm sure you can find a way to make out happen.

My phone often does not vibrate when I receive a text and I often have it with the screen facing down. I know with useless iOS it is possible, so I would assume my droid can do it as well, but I have now idea how to do it...... Any ideas? I am running CM10. Thanks

[Q] SMS limit? [SOLVED]

If I send out too many messages in a short amount of time, I get a pop up telling if I should allow the messaging app to continue sending. But it repeats the question with every text. I know it's a google malware security feature, but it's super annoying. Anyway to turn it off?

Last question then im gonna flash and figure if I do flash this and try to revert back..when I flash the stock back will it be themed like mine currently is in shadows jv? Or should I try and pull the themed stock out with root exp or copy it to sd card so I can push it back in themed?

do you mean when sending? if you do then go into settings and it lets you transfom a large message into mms which let the receiver receive it all in one...
If you mean when you receive it ... then let me know when you find out..
Just copied the secmms from the system/app to my ext sd. Guess I can just push it back if I dont like it. Flash and find

if you want to keep the themed mms like shadow has in his rom you would need to pull the themed in and do as you stated...

What? Don't understand your statement.
I know it's not much of a test but I sent myself a video mms and it worked fine.
Edit: BTW, if you're trying to send a camera pic, I'm sure there is still some size limitations in place.
And if it's not app related, certainly the Carrier will block/resize or limit mms sizes as well.
I can verify one thing that's wonky. If you click on your own contact picture in messaging, where it would take you to the respective field IN contacts, alas hangs up for a mo', then it force closes instead (contacts), and kicks you out of the message thread.

Also, I can verify pictures send for me. I'm on credo mobile, but carrier shouldn't matter for this mod.
EDIT: pictures also coming in successfully =)
Also, probably because it IS AOSP messaging, neither counter on message icon works nor message notifier on lock screen. Though I'm not sure if it's enabled with Ripple as I have it off today.
