edit: using a Meta-Doctored 2.1 on my Pre-

I'll look into that

Found a solution: make listAsyncDecorator check if the message is outgoing before assigning an avatar... I took the liberty of updating your patch to reflect what I did, here it is:

fyi: I did not submit it to preware yet

I should have been more clear, it still won't select the avatar without filemgr service. It just won't replace your avatar with theirs anymore, if you had that problem. It's only been tested on 2.1. If you want, here's my updated patch, you just have to place a .png file with the name my-avatar on your pre with USB mode.

I BEEN TRYIN TO FIGURE OUT FOR THE LONGEST...CAN ANYONE OR ANYBODY MAKE AN UPDATE FOR THE IPHONE STYLE PATCH FOR 2.1.?!? Lol

[elryon]

No need to yell, things are being worked on. I'm not a professional programmer, and I was trying to update sms-tones-per-contact first but the new advanced patches have that so I'll probably move on to the Iphone style messenger...

[youngevizu]

i didnt mean to yell...i would of updated the patch as well...but i work too much...its a cool patch...thanx for taking the time out to do this...my apologies dude...

The updated sconix advanced system behavior causes this to no longer work. Just wanted to let everyone know!

[btbkilla]

Any word on getting this working with Sconix advanced patches?

[Mannyman]

Bump.

Any word on getting this working with Sconix's advanced system behavior patch on Pre3?

you'd need to contact him; hide patches are massive as cover a lot of code area, so it's hard to make 3rd party patches that don't interfere with them

Can this work for the touchpad? I have yet to find a way to set my avatar in the messaging app.
