Samsung Messages 5.0 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Samsung Messages 5.0.11.8 is the only installable version of Samsung Messages so far for the Note 8. I wanted to start a thread in Hope's that the new version 5.0.20.16 could be extracted for us and properly installable by someone in the community.

Not going to happen without root. Best you can hope for is another 5.x version slips through with a signature the Note 8 will accept.

Then why do they get updated if Samsung's not gonna push system app updates to phone. Samsung never updates there system apps never. That's one reason not to get a Samsung they don't care about there old phones just about making new ones. My at&t note 8 never had system apps get updated ever only android version to outdated 8.0 and a new boot loader v4.

Are you guys getting message duplicates with 5.0.11.8?

Actually, while they don't do very many updates via Galaxy Apps they do include them in their monthly security updates. That said, it's very rare to get new features. Samsung wants to be like Apple and convince the sheeple to buy their latest new phone to get new features.

Yes, this is a known issue. Try disabling the Samsung Message Service.

I have Messages 5.0 installed and had to disable the messaging service 4.xxx with package disabler due to duplicate incoming messages coming in after a few days. Will I be able to receive an OTA correctly, or will I have to reenable the service and uninstall Messages 5.0?

I didn't either, but it came back after a while... Like the first time I installed the new 5.0 two days ago as well.....

I am able to install Messages version 5.0.21.18 fine, but the new one released today 5.0.21.32 will not install.
Also, is anyone on 5.0.21.18 able to swipe the conversation to the right to initiate a phone call? I liked that in the stock version 4.4.11.4

Not rooted. Latest OTA. Do any versions of the non-OTA Messages app include the swipe to call/text?

Hey y'all - I'm running stock, non-rooted at&t-branded Note 8, build# R16NW.N950USQS5CRID (OTA came in today) and the stock Messaging app is running v4.4.30.42. I thought the latest OTA included v5+ ?
Any benefits to Messaging v5+ ? If so, I'll totally update from apkmirror, but don't want to run into any issues.....

Unless you're using PackageDisabler Pro, you'll get duplicate messages(Need to disable messages 4.0***)

4.3 Visual Voicemail

Here is the new Visual Voicemail app from the 4.3 HTC One system dump. Is there any way to get this working on CM10.2?

Thats very strange, because it uses the same file name as the previous versions of the VVM app and same icon.

Thanks! They seem to have removed the widget in this version. Thats kind of a bummer. But I'm glad to see everything else works perfectly on AOSP roms.

Can you make this an apk file?
New Voicemail APK / Delete first post?
Two things:
1. Any luck on a new visual voicemail package? The current one that works here resets every time I update my phone's ROM, making it useless unless I save all voicemails as soon as I get them! LOL!
2. Can we delete the first post, being that it's not a real voicemail program? That could really hurt a lot of newbies on the forum trying to flash something.
Hoppingfully yours,

Another version.
I pulled this from my Carbon 4.4.2 install. I don't remember what rom I got it from originally or how many times it's been updated since but I restore this from TB on every build I install and it works. I have not installed it fresh, but can't imagine why it would not be good to go.
version: T5.3.4.32
View attachment com.coremobility.app.vnotes.apk
Wow! Thank you! This works properly and unlike the other posts does not magickally disappear with every ROM update.
I'm just amazed how this is the *only* one any one has posted yet that works well with 4.4.2. You would think everybody would need visual voicemail!

Wurd. [emoji102] I blocked the 9016 with a call block and set notifications off so I don't see em. I use root call blocker pro but would probably work just as good with built in call and sms blocker that's in many Aosp & CM roms..

Google AOSP Email App

Is it possible to get this app running on our G3? I don't like the stock email app it doesn't handle contacts correctly with exchange.
I figured it out. I placed both files in System/App and gave them permission 0644. RW-R-R. Rebooted and Android upgraded and the Email was there.

I just switched to LG and don't like the stock email one bit.
Is that apk for the google stock email (yellow colored)? Sorry, I'm not familiar with AOSP, so idk if it's the same one or not.
Thanks!!
Yes it's yellow. The @ symbol on the LG stock email app is black outlined. On the aosp it's white. Hope this helps.

Thanks man!! I know I must have sounded stupid describing the yellow @ sign!! Actually the @ sign and the letter are both yellow. The envelope is open and the color is white (See attached picture). I'm just so used to using that email app on Samsungs!!
I read that the stock email app was available on the playstore, but I wasn't able to find it. I'm guessing I wasn't able to because I'm using the G3, idk!
I'm gonna follow the steps you posted about placing the files and tinkering with permissions. Looking forward to seeing it works.
Thanks again!
newer version
I have successfully installed the version above. The question is that this is the 6.2 version and my nexus 7 has 6.3 installed. I tried to copy those files to my g3 but the apk files were smaller with odex files. I just couldn't get it to run with or without the odex files . Any idea?

Try these
Will anything nasty happen if I just install them as a normal app rather than a system app? I just clicked on the apk and installed like normal and it seemed to work fine, but wanted to make sure there weren't any unforeseen security issues.

[Q] One Whatsapp, two ROMs, one phone

Hey there. I have two ROMs to boot in my Nexus 4: one is stock KitKat, my daily driver, the other is the MIUI v5 port for Nexus 4 (4.8.10)
The problem is that I have Whatsapp installed and activated in my KitKat, and activating it in MIUI would disable the app in KK. Is there a way to keep both activated, since both will live in the same phone under the same number? I search the forum and Google and found nothing about this, just how to activate two WA accounts in the same ROM.

I'm glad to hear that my friend, just reply if you need any other help
Short question: Does this also work for subsequent communications? Will they also alwas appear within both ROMs then?
And would Titanium Backup provide the same for SMS, dialer etc.?
My last question just got active again since I installed a 2nd ROM - anyone some idea?

Bixby ICS Update?

Starting yesterday I keep getting the notification "Update ICS? A new version of Interactive and Customized Services (ICS) is available. You need to update to continue." whenever I open up Bixby (from home or button) but hitting the update button simply closes the prompt window and opens it again without updating anything. Any help? Canadian model SM-G955W. I've tried deleting data and cache from app settings.

Well in my case when i got the ICS notice ,
i kept on tapping on it ,whenever notice kept on appearing.
I still vaguely remember i still switched from my wifi to cellular 4G.
Don't know if this helped, but for me it seems so .!
and eventually it did some update ? Result no more nagging ICS notice to update.
( i was busy on phone with other apps and not really paying attention to notice )
I am currently on Bixby v 1.9.26
Plse note,
that above happened about 2 days ago .
and i have no issues with Bixby or nagging ICS update since then .
My first impression, after update was
that Bixby seemed much more smoother and responsive .?
Now it just seems normal .!!
but then the " saying" goes something like this......
" ...first impression are normally right/correct ? "
Bottom line is Bixby is very smooth for me !
If phone wakes up( sleep mode etc ) i normally have to double tap but after that one tap .
99 % of time it's working, with only one button tap .
Facing the same issue. Tried. Switching from. Wifi to data and still try into update.

Thank you Osman34, I even tried the same version as the one I have already installed and also couldn't install it. Now the question is how Samsung will update the app it they're willing to do so?! I think the only way then is with system update which is wired way to go with.
yeah kinda like that
