Desire SMS / MMS APK ported to ACE

Hi all,
Just in case anyone is interested, I have ported HTC Desire's MMS apk to my ace running on GR v1.1.
Some features
1. Change app background black or white
2. Change attachment save folder
3. Custom User Agent (Spoof Phone as a different model for MMS, though i have
not used this so far)
4. Customize font size from list available
5. SMS template gestures
Edit 1: does not allow more than 11 contacts (sam's original did not allow more than 10) ... very bad
Screen shots attached.
MatrixLoaded
Edit 2: Steps and Apk attached
Standard disclaimer apply and most importantly below process will wipe your data so take a backup. (may be there is another way to put app without wipe but i know only this one sr. members, pls feel free to enlighten me of that process)
requirements
KPN FW (i have GR v1.1 so i think it should work on all KPN)
Rooted, deodexed, Root explorer or file explored and recovery 4.0.0.9
steps
1. take backup on your original mms.apk from system/app via root explorer
2. put attached MLmms.apk to your sd card
3. rename MLmms.apk to mms.apk
4. use root explorer and move renamed mms.apk to system/app (don't forget to mount rw)
5. put permission as r-xrwxr-x (after this you might not see the icon on the menu eg tw launcher in case you use it. but don't be afraid)
6. reboot into recovery and WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
7. reboot normally and you should see the new app.

Which means it's for KPN , right ?

Hmm i'll rather use our themed one. If we need extended functions i'll go for third party apps

Thank you so much. I'm not satisfied with Samsung's Messaging app, and I hate the ones on the Market.
But, uh... Is it just me, or is the link missing/not available?

Have not put in the link delibrately ... just tryin to see if its worth wasting everyone's time (personally i liked the font size and other stuff, but 10 contact limitation is killer)
In case you want the apk, i can share with steps ofcourse

10 contact limitation? What does that mean? Does it mean it can only show 10 people on the conversations list? If so, I'm quite fine with that (I don't have many friends T_T)

Samsung Keyboard

Hi Guys!
I own a Galaxy Grand GT-I9082 phone and a Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 Tablet, and i was wondering if i can make my Grand's Keyboard to look "white" like the one on the N8000! i really like the white\light keyboard of my Note, so i was asking if i can Port it or mod or whatever i can do to make my Grand's keyboard look white.
i attached some screenshots to make my point clear
Thanks in advance!
Regards, Muhammad.

Can you try extract the Samsung Keyboard apk for your Note and put onto your phone? Try and see first.
*Backup your phone original Samsung Keyboard apk before you proceed.

I'll try to extract my N8000's stock ROM to find the default default keyboard's apk file and try to install it.

But, how to do this??

First download es explorer from play store then install it..open it..go to device/system/app/Samsung keyboard.... then copy it to your external storage..and sent it via bluetooth to grand..den install it..I hope it will works..

You can't install it. Surely you will get an error. Just overwrite it in /system/app/, set permissions and then reboot your phone. Let me know if it works.

yeah i want to get note 3 keyboard port for grand

What permissions doninset and how can I do it?

[Q] Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 4 apps in Multi Window

Hey, so is there any way to get the 4 Multi Window feature, instead of just the 2 Multi Window feature, on the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1, just like the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 has?

I was wondering the same thing. I wonder if it's a Note (S-Pen) exclusive, and therefore not available on the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1?

quadview or 4 multiwindow apps simultaneously 8.4 & 10.1
EDIT: THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED WORKING BY @GreenMachine...SEE POST BELOW. ALSO...THE FIXED ZIP HAS BEEN ATTACHED TO THIS POST.

whats going on guys...i've ported the multiwindow mod to several other devices & just wanted to post the instructions to enable quad view for the tab pro models that shipped without it. If this does in fact enable the new option then feel free to donate a dollar to the multiwindow master himself @xperiacle since he is the one that made this discovery and has put in the most effort in making these mods work on devices that dont have them by default....i have linked to his paid app below which does the same thing as the zip (unfortunately i cant suggest purchasing it because i'm not sure whether or not it will work on the tab pros) but as for me a simple click on the thanks button will suffice

Please keep in mind that i do NOT have the device myself yet (plan on getting the LTE 8.4) so i will need someone to test and confirm that this does indeed work...dont worry about it harming your device as all the zip file does is add a few xmls to the "etc/permissions" folder.

1. ROOT DEVICE
2. UNZIP PACKAGE
3. COPY XML FILES IN "SYSTEM/ETC/PERMISSIONS" TO SAME LOCATION ON YOUR DEVICE AND CHANGE PERMS TO 0644 (OR RW-R--R--) THEN REBOOT. U should actually only need to add 2 of the included xmls (maybe even 1) with the obvious one being "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.quadview.xml" and the other possible one being "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml" that has an identical name as a file already on your device but is actually different when opened which means it needs to be replaced (the copy included in the TEST1 zip is the NOTE 12.2 version which we know has working 4 way multiwindow while the copy in TEST 2 is the one that originally came on the 8.4)

thanks for testing... i believe we actually only need one of the perms included but added all of the ones i've noticed missing from other devices just in case some other hidden feature may be available (there's a level 3 sensor xml that i found in a note 3 rom but i doubt that it does anything extra). Also...i found the source of the error which was just my sloppy editing of the updater-script.

Yeah it runs really well. I don't understand why Samsung didn't give the option for 4 Windows to us 8.4 owners. Maybe they thought that the 8.4 screen wasn't logical for 4 windows.

Thank you ! I was pretty upset when i discovered that there are not 4 windows just like the tab pro 12.2 .
OK a 8.4 " tablet may be too small but they could at least give the option for people , i don't get it too :/
I'll definitely flash it, my LTE version should arrive on monday !
What's the difference between TEST 1 and 2 ?

both zips contained the same files including an xml labeled "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml" that has an identical name as one thats already on your device but is actually different when opened which means it MAY have needed to be replaced/renamed...the copy included in the TEST1 zip was the NOTE 12.2 version (also included in the V1) which we know has working 4 way multiwindow while the copy in TEST 2 is the one that originally came on the 8.4(Wont bother switching it back unless the other copy removes features or causes conflicts)
off-topic @Yogaxl
i know that the LTE version is SUPPOSED to do calls because it has the phone app & earpiece but i just want to know if u could please confirm when u receive your unit because I live in the usa where the 3g/4g versions usually have the voice function disabled & have to order from overseas so i would like to know for sure...thx in advance

this is actually a question for anyone who can answer...is it true that samsung removed the icon to go from full screen to floating mode? i played with a demo unit and didnt see it...i was wondering if it was because there was no multiwindow manager app installed or what. Not sure if u guys are familiar with what i'm talking about but there used to be a black cascade icon in the lower right corner (which could be moved wherever u wanted it) that when pressed performs like the restore icon in windows (even looks similar)...if any of u guys owned any 4.1.2 samsung with multiwindows then u should be familiar with it especially if u had a tab plus or 7.7. Also...can someone that uses allshare cast/miracast/screen mirroring please tell me if multiwindow will work at the same time? This used to be a limitation of older versions so i would like to know if that has changed or will that need to be my next project...thx in advance

Change perms?
I am trying to get the 4 multi window feature to work on my Pro Tab 10.1. I copied the xml files to system/etc/permissions but I don't know what to do next. You said "copy xml files in "system/etc/permissions" to the same location on your device then change the perms to 0644 (or rw-r--r--) then reboot." What do you mean by change the perms to 0644? can you please explain how to do that? Thanks!
EDIT: So I figured out how to change the perms, so I changed them for all the xml files for the multiwindow feature. I rebooted my device and now it wont turn back on...PLEASE HELP?

i apologize for any problems u may be having as i should have deleted the other zip i posted...the best way to get back going would be to flash TWRP through odin then use it's built in file manager to delete all of the permissions files u just added EXCEPT "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.quadview.xml" which is the only file u actually need. I believe the file thats keeping your device from booting is the "sensorhub_level3" file but delete all of the others just to be safe...once finished your device should boot and also have the 4 way multiwindow function from the 12.2 tabs. If u choose to or have already reflashed the stock firmware then just re-root and add ONLY the above mention "quadview.xml" with proper permissions & u should be good to go...sorry for the setback

I went back to stock, I will re-root soon and try that. So, just to be clear, I only add the quadview.xml file with the correct perms for that one file? Nothing else in the download? Thanks for replying and helping, I will tell you if i get it working or not. Thanks!!!

Yes...u only need the one file named quadview. The others were just a test from older versions of multiwindow to see IF they might add any extra features but not only did they not work they also cause the device to get stuck as u found out the hard way...no problem with the help since it was my fault in the first place

If u are familiar with xposed framework then just install the wanam module and there is an option in "system-select multiwindow apps" that will allow u to add any app...once u do this u will need to reboot then u will still need to add the apps to the multiwindow launcher by opening the multiwindow tab & pressing the 2 lines at the bottom then pressing "edit" & finally dragging the apps u just added from the left over to the launcher on the right. If u just want to download an app from the playstore that will allow u to add any then i suggest "muliwindow apps manager" which i will link to below but u will still need to reboot & add apps the same way i just described

[HOW-TO] Enable MultiWindow on EMUI 4.1 / Android 6 (like EMUI 5)

Hello!
This morning i was just looking in build.prop when ive seen a line regarding multi-window.
On EMUI 5 / Android 7, we can enable MultiWindow by pressing for few seconds the multitasking/recents icon in the navigation bar.
This feature is available on EMUI 4.1 as well.
REQUIREMENTS:
- EMUI 4.1
- Unlocked bootloader
- Rooted phone
- a file manager with root support ( im using the good old version of ES File Explorer)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[HOW-TO] Huawei Nova:
1) Grant root access to the file manager.
2) Go to /system and open build.prop.
3) Search for ro.huawei.multiwindow and change it from false to true.
ro.huawei.multiwindow=false becomes ro.huawei.multiwindow=true.
4) Save and reboot. After reboot, you can use MultiWindow by pressing for few seconds the multitasking / recents icon from navigation bar.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[HOW-TO] Other Huawei phones:
If you have followed the instructions for Huawei Nova and it didnt work, then check if you have HwMwLauncher folder in /system/app or /system/priv-app.
If it is missing, then check this post. People reported that MultiWindow is working after they got HwMwLauncher.
CONFIRMED DEVICES:
- Huawei Honor 8
If your phone isnt on this list, then it doesnt mean that it doesnt work. Just try and report back. I think it should work on all Huawei phones which are running EMUI 4.1.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
EDIT: I just seen that you can use MultiWindow by swiping up two fingers on navigation bar too.

When you are in Multiwindow with 2 apps open, press HOME button.
I have a big bug!
The Home is in half screen.

I have no issues. When I press home button it just disable MultiWindow.
Nova CAN-L11 running EMUI 4.1 CANC432B100.

Maybe this is my firmware problem... I don't know.
But only with home button.
With back button all is ok.

I enabled this on my mate 7 with emui 4 marshmallow quite a while ago. If I try to use it I just get a pop up message saying this application does not support dual windows. Haven't found a practical use for it yet.

It's same for me.
When you press the "+" on homescreen after you enable MultiWindow I think it shows only the apps which support it.
Personally, I'm not using MultiWindow. I just wanted to share the small trick I've found.

Strange - it doesn't seem to have any effect on my rooted Honor 8 (still on MM with EMUI 4.1).
I used BuildProp Editor to set ro.huawei.multiwindow=true and rebooted. Holding the "recents" button does nothing apart from a quick burst of haptic feedback after about half a second or so.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Exactly the same phone and software here but it shows the toasts messages and the MultiWindow interface but doesn't work. I think EMUI 4.1 is simply Nougat ready and that is the reason why it has the option to enable or disable MultiWindow but the system (MM) has not this function and that is why it doesn't work. So the result is only the GUI of MultiWindow being shown but is only EMUI trying to do something as layer that system in fact isn't capable.
I was wrong follow @#Henkate instructions here here

1) Do you have HwMwLauncher.apk in /system/app/HwMwLauncher or /system/priv-app/HwMwLauncher ? I don't think it matter if it is in app or priv-app, but it must exist. I have it in /system/app.
2) After you enable MultiWindow, do you see the process named HwDualWindowLauncher at Settings > Developer Options > Running services (check also cached processes there)?
3) In build.prop I have the following line: ro.config.hw_multiscreen=true. I think it might be related to MultiWindow as well, but I'm not sure. I didn't try yet to set it to false and see what happens.

Well, it works for me on Nova CAN-L11 running EMUI 4.1
MultiWindow has been introduced in Android 6. Why Huawei hid this option in EMUI 4.1 (Android 6) and introduced it as a new feature in EMUI 5 (Android 7)? That's what I'm asking too.

1) Do you have HwMwLauncher.apk in /system/app/HwMwLauncher or /system/priv-app/HwMwLauncher ? I don't think it matter if it is in app or priv-app, but it must exist. I have it in /system/app.
2) After you enable MultiWindow, do you see the process named HwDualWindowLauncher at Settings > Developer Options > Running services (check also cached processes there)?
3) In build.prop I have the following line: ro.config.hw_multiscreen=true. I think it might be related to MultiWindow as well, but I'm not sure. I didn't try yet to set it to false and see what happens.

1). I don't have HwMwLauncher.apk in either location (or anywhere, in fact).
2). No, I don't see the HwDualWindowLauncher process running.
3). I tried that, but it doesn't appear to have any affect.
Thanks anyway.
I'm not too bothered whether this works or not, but if it can be enabled, I will just for the fun of it!

The missing HwMwLauncher could be the problem since it is related to MultiWindow.
I've uploaded HwMwLauncher folder from my Huawei Nova.
1) Download HwMwLauncher.zip from HERE and extract it.
2) Copy HwMwLauncher folder to system/app.
3) Set the correct permissions for folders and files (.apk and .odex). I've attached screenshots with the permissions as well. The permissions of oat and arm64 folders must be same as the one for HwMwLauncher folder. And the permission of .odex file must be same as .apk one.
4) Reboot. Now I'd say that it should work. Make sure that ro.huawei.multiwindow=true in build.prop, but also ro.config.hw_multiscreen=true (just in case, I still don't know the purpose of this line as I didn't try to set it to false yet).
@carmeloamg :
If you don't have HwMwLauncher neither, then follow the same steps I've wrote in this post and report if it works.

I didn't have it. Placed and fixed but it only allows to use three system apps as second window even having some other multi window ready apps. For instance I've got WhatsApp and Telegram I can use multi window each one separately with gallery, files and videos but not both together. Snapshot attached. Same for you @stooby ?
Thanks @#Henkate !

very easy and smart! working very well without problems ...thanks

Yes, same for me. When I had my Note 4, there was an Xposed module that enabled all apps for multi window use. Unfortunately, it's not working on these devices. I'll keep investigating.

HONOR 8: Installing this version of HwMwLauncher makes the multi window natively supported apps to be selectable and the multiwindow_whitelist_apps.xml file placed in /cust/hw/normal/xml make it usable from many other apps that before says not compatible. Only two issues, sometimes launcher (nova launcher) gets stuck on half of it size buy as it comes it goes. The other issue is that you can not use two apps that not appear in HwMwLauncher, just able to open one that is not and then launch another that is on it. See screenshots (example using chrome and instagram).
