I know this question gets asked every now and then but I wanted to know if there was an update for the reduced quality of pictures sent through mms bug. Is there a fix that is known to work with the latest cyanogenmod nightlies? Is this problem fixed on the latest cm or blackbean rom? Thanks in advance
 
you guys could just swap the mms.apk from any aosp rom of the same build example 4.2.2 the real compression changes are within the apk itself. shabby managed to change the compression settings on black beans a while ago. what it is its probaly set to compress after 400-500 kb but metro's network can handle up to 700 kb anything after that wont send at all.

Yeah instructions would be great. I'm guessing I would also have to redo it every time I upgrade to the newest nightly with cyandelta right?

Edit: I just remembered that Cyandelta can automatically flash zips after an update. Is there a way to flash the modified mms apk this way? I attached a picture to show the option I'm referring to

ok heres the deal some of you guys suggested that liquid rom doesn't compress pics for me that wasnt the case. it indeed compress a picture that i sent to my email. if you guys can find me a rom that sends picture uncompressed let me know ill snag thye mms.apk and try it out myself. but keep in mind it has to be from a aosp rom running 4.2 doesn't matter if its 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 just aslong first teo numbers are 4.2 also i could ask shabby to see if he can tweak the mms apk a lil so it doesn't compress till 700kb also if ya want to experiment for ya selves do this send a high quality image to your email then compare the size and pixels also zoom in on the one ya emailed to your selves and if u see lots of blurry pixels that means the image was compressed. if ya find a rom that has such a mms.apk you can navigate to system then apps then look for mms.apk. select it copy it and place it in sdcard now from there u can either use usb cable and transfer it to your pc or select it and and upload to dropbox or email. from there you can now go back to the rom u liked that had issues with the mms compression and go to system then apps and rename the mms.apk to mms.bak or whatever u want. or even delete it. and paste there the mms.apk that u saved and fix permission on it and then reboot and test.
