[APP]Disable SMS to MMS Conversion - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have not created this App this app has been ripped from other Forum thought this may help as it did for me so i am just sharing it here as i did not find it here
Disable SMS to MMS Conversion
This modification disables the incredibly annoying "feature" that Samsung chooses to add to its messaging app, where any SMS message of a sensible length (ie. longer than 3 SMS messages) will be converted into an MMS message.
A brilliant idea for those who pay for each message they send, as 3xSMS is about the cost of an MMS, which can carry much more text. Unfortunately for Samsung, they're a few years too late here - most people don't pay for their SMSs individually any more. And they likely would need to pay to send an MMS.
Enter this modification, which lets you send long messages again without issue.
Attached is the LEGACY version of this plugin for Xposed API 2.0 RC2. DO NOT USE THIS VERSION. Use the up-to-date one in the download manager.

disable sms to mms conversion
Thanks all for help so far.
The Creation mode doesn't seem to make a difference. Reason I want it disabled is because my company don't allow MMS, so long SMS just change to MMS and fail to send! I was wondering why this guy hadn't replied to my text........
I have tried the Application, and it appears to install but makes not difference. Reading more it looks like I need to use that general Tweaking app, and that you need Root?
Please confirm, because I cannot root my phone as I need to use Good, and my company have Good set to not run on Rooted devices.
I'm really not bothered about having to use another app, as I already use Whatapp wherever I can to keep my SMS (which I have to get billed by text for) down, so would prefer not to have two seperate 'Text' apps, further to the core Android one, which I am generally pleased with?
Solutions appreciated... or, is there an app that brings all Whatapps, texts and Emails into one 'stream' that you can disable SMS to MMS on?
XDA rules...

The app needs xposed framework to run. You have to be rooted to install xposed but once installed and activated you can unroot again. I don't know of any way to disable the mms conversion without rooting first

I'm a little late on here, kind of a noob when it comes to this as well, but anyways so i've installed xposed installer and got a couple modules to download, install and work properly but when i try this one, i get "Parse error". Any ideas? I absolutely HATE that Samsung has this limit!

You can use wannam xposed from the play store, it has this option in it. Sounds like a bad download though

You have to uninstall the previous version first. Worked perfectly for me then. Thanks for actually posting the apk.
Installed this but have had some problems. One is you can't delete mail in your trash folder. Also i know it was a problem for the old one but you can't select all in trash folder. And i accidentally archived a email and don't know how to get you the archived section. Any pointers?
yeah, and how many more years before the gmail icon shows how many new emails you have?
i prefer the stock samsung email client which has more features, indicates how many emails you have waiting, and doesn't require "sync" to be enabled for push mail.. apparently for google this is rocket science.

Nova prime has an "unread" count for e-mail, phone calls and mms.
For those who may be having trouble installing use TB to unistall current gmail apk, reboot. install new apk on root of sd card and use a root explorer to install the new one.
Im not sure why people are having issues with this. I love this update. I made it so I can swype to delete messages plus when you go into Gmail you can see how many unread messages you have.
Were u able to delete the mail in the trash folder?

I never tried it but I did once I read your post and I was unable to delete anything in the trash folder which gets clean every 30 days anyway. But I selected all and did not see a setting to delete even tried to swipe but nothing happened. Very strange they did not add that feature.
Worked for me after uninstall with TiBu, reboot, install.
Thanks. Glad Google finally added these features.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

ChompSMS, I love how it renders picture messaging to full screen. Opposed to the stock which looks more like a thumbnail. GOSMS was to convoluted with options/themes for my liking.

Go SMS, been using them forever. You can send pictures, but sometimes I have problems with that. Only since I rooted my phones though. It gives me an error message, something along the lines of exceeding my file size limit. I just used the stock messenger to send mms/pictures.

I am very happy with stock... first time I've ever been able to say that. Prior to that, I used GoSMS and Handsent on all of my other devices. I forgot which one of the two I settled on. I want to say GoSMS was the better of the two IMO.
GoSMS here for years and I've been happy with it.

If you look hard enough in the settings you can change the max size to send and stop it from shrinking your pictures. But like I said before if you see d through go SMS and the received doesn't have go it comes up as a link

In sound options theres a setting for vibration intensity and pattern also on the contacts app theres options for making vibrations specifically for a contact. I think there might be a limited amount though.

It doesn't. I think it's from an older version of AOKP. I'm not really sure where it's from. I found it in the themes and mods section under a similar thread.
Edit: I'm using the APK from here and then follow the instructions here
And this recently up in Themes/Mod sections might help

I don't like the vibrate options because when selecting vibrate in the SMS app, it vibrates in sound mode and vibrate mode. I only want it to vibrate in vibrate mode like my GS3 did on ICS.
For those using Go SMS, can you confirm if Go SMS sends you push ads in your messages? When I tried Go SMS I got a spam sms from them.
Stock message...for now.

[Q] SMS/MMS messaging app

Are there any messaging apps via playstore or otherwise that resemble the JB AOSP messaging app and/or functionality? I really like the ability to not only reply via the status bar, but also the ability to select "read" so I don't have to open the messaging app for a message I don't intend to reply to.
Also, I really hate the fact that the stock messaging app only says "new message" in the status bar without any information about the message or the sender. Really crappy design. Any help there also?
Thanks!

You could download one of the stock apk's I think.
Also the stock app does show the sender name and the message in the notification Window. Check settings and make sure that it's enabled.

Try go sms? Has a pop up window and you can set the notification bar so you can see the message. It can even unlock your phone when a text message comes, if you set it up.

And, as @imablackhat revealed, the Play Store isn't offering the latest version (v2.0.122 (904984-30) to everyone, which actually features SMS/MMS.
As of right now, you're linking to version 1.2.018 (without SMS/MMS).
BTW, the Play Store link doesn't mean much when users from different countries may not be able to access it anyway.
Hi everyone,
Let's keep it friendly please, no need to bicker over something as little as an APK post
This post, however, is indeed correct:

Google is pushing out Hangouts 2.0 at a different rate across the country so even by linking to the Play Store link it does no effect if Google has not pushed Hangouts to that usergroup yet.

I haven't tried disabling it, but I cannot see that it would cause issues. I have not disabled/"turned-off" mine, but I also haven't had it open up randomly either after disabling all notifications for it.

AOSP Email + Exchange

I really dislike the stock E-mail app's rich text composing window. It screws up my Swiftkey typing and makes composing or replying to e-mails painfully slow.
I have always liked the simplicity of the AOSP Email app for my Exchange, so I finally found one that works on the G3:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29015-app-mod-exchange-security-bypass-no-pinno-admin-android-41-v60/
This also has the advantage of not requiring a PIN. If you are looking for a free solution, this is for you, otherwise I'd recommend you check out Nine. I loved it, but don't want to pay $10 for it unless work does it for me.
I flashed ExchangeNoPIN-v6.0.zip
Excellent... Thanks.

I did that and it still broke SwiftKey for me. Didn't seem to make a difference in the way the composing window looked.
Because I have rules setup on the server, the stock Android implementation (and LG's) really aren't enough for me. I need the individual folder syncing, but I also need an "all mail" view, where it's a consolidation of all the folders. Touchdown does this right. Beyond that, the only Android device I've had that does this is the M8. I wish more would jump on the bandwagon.
