Group Text Messaging for JB - ACHIEVED!

**jblazea50** · 10-30-2012, 01:48 PM

Any idea why when I have auto retrieve checked, the messages just stays as "downloading" but never shows up. However, if I uncheck it and hit download manually, it works fine.

If that's not possible, I've read that the messaging app will recreate the mmssms.db if it is missing so just deleting that one file should be sufficient it seems? What am I missing here?

Will this work only with galaxy nexuses? Or will it carry over to I phones?

It will carry over to iPhone's as well.

Brought to you by the Google Galaxy Nexus. It IS better than the iPhone 5.

Isn't that the point that this works on iPhones already though and Android users would like a compatible option?

I think the question was asking if iPhone users will see this as a group text. Basically asking if this is an iPhone compatible option for Android users and from my experience, it is.

This is working pretty well on my tmobile galaxy s2 (t989).

Hello all, completely new but registered to ask if this can be added to my T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide? If so can you give me an ***** proof step by step? I have never done something like this before but hate not being able to be part of iphone group conversations with my family but refuse to switch over to iphone!

Learn how to build a ROM from CyanogenMod source. You can then cherry-pick this. If you don't know how to operate a Linux system, you're going to spend many hours reading tutorials on google to get it right.

I found this link to creating a ROM -

I've never worked in Linux before but getting this functionality seems worth it. Was really hoping there might be something already out there i could load to my device, not looking that way though right?

Any way to get this with ATT Galaxy s3??

**MezJr** · 11-09-2012, 11:54 AM

It's on the Liquid Smooth for the Galaxy Note currently:

however is this going to be a part of the base CM10 at any point?

It's in cm code review at the moment.

Awesome. Liquid is CM10 based, until I've had this one for awhile (if i keep it) I'd just feel more comfortable with CM, especially once they move to 4.2 and so on. (for me, on the note CM10 nightlies were running great).

Only oddity here is the quick-reply feature doesn't work with with group mms in this rom. Not sure how it rolls with the others.

Very new here. What about adding the ability to see who all is in the thread? For instance on my VZW sIII when I get a group text that has more than 4 people in it, it will list the first 2 people then display '...' after. That looks good and shouldn't change. What would be nice to see added possibly would be if you were to tap the names above the thread it would show all the recipients in a list. Just a thought. I know I have seen it work like this on other phones just not the sIII.

**diretydirt** · 11-14-2012, 04:16 PM

I would kill to have this added into an AT&T HOX ROM. Stumbled across this thread after a few Google searches, seems this is the only progress made anywhere to add native group MMS functionality to the stock messaging app.

**diretydirt** · 11-14-2012, 05:00 PM

Turns out there's a LiquidSmooth port for the HOXL that has group messaging if anyone is interested:

**ohiomoto** · 11-16-2012, 09:46 AM

Looks like it has been added to AOSP 4.2 based on what I'm seeing in this ROM: http://forums.androidcentral.com/report.php?p=2334071

I tested it out this morning with a couple of my iPhone toting friends and it worked well.

indeed, it is now native in android.. my nexus 4 came with it stock.

OP - you have truly done the android community a great justice. I am eternally grateful.

**rnauth1418** · 11-19-2012, 04:42 PM

I am a bit confused as to what is going on in this thread. Does jellybean natively offer support for group messaging through use of mms? Or is this thread on flashing a 3rd party rom onto a phone to allow for group messaging?

I believe what the last two posts are talking about is the group mms texting will be natively supported by jellybean version 4.2 or higher. That's awesome news. can't wait till euroskank's CM10 is 4.2,

I am glad the OP did the work and got this done, but I am not excited. The fix is wonderful and i truly appreciate the efforts, but we all know how these updates get rolled out. Other than the Nexus 4, Jelly Bean 4.2 (which will have this fix apparently) will not come to all of our devices for months (if ever) as they prefer we buy new devices instead of allowing us to update our current ones. And by "they" i mean carriers and developers.
