1) We now try to hand out cursors at a minimum. There has always been
a fairly clean insertion layer that handles encrypting message bodies,
but the process of decrypting message bodies has always been less than
ideal. Here we introduce a "Reader" interface that will decrypt message
bodies when appropriate and return objects that encapsulate record state.
No more MessageDisplayHelper. The MmsSmsDatabase interface is also more
sane.
2) We finally rid ourselves of the technical debt associated with TextSecure's
initial usage of the default SMS DB. In that world, we weren't able to use
anything other than the default "Inbox, Outbox, Sent" types to describe a
message, and had to overload the message content itself with a set of
local "prefixes" to describe what it was (encrypted, asymetric encrypted,
remote encrypted, a key exchange, procssed key exchange), and so on.
This includes a major schema update that transforms the "type" field into
a bitmask that describes everything that used to be encoded in a prefix,
and prefixes have been completely eliminated from the system.
No more Prefix.java
3) Refactoring of the MultipartMessageHandler code. It's less of a mess, and
hopefully more clear as to what's going on.
The next step is to remove what we can from SmsTransportDetails and genericize
that interface for a GCM equivalent.
Yet another setting that most users will never touch. Workaround for
those who would is to use a different identity key per device.
Let this be a sacrifice to the android settings design pattern gods.
The vast majority of users will never uncheck this option. Those who
would can send an unencrypted untagged message through the system sms
app. It would then be stored locally in the clear, but it was already
transmitted in the clear and likely stored on the recipient's side in
the clear, so the security gains of locally encrypting are low, and
again, this seems an extremely rare edge case.
By android design pattern specs for the settings menu, we should kill
this preference.
Android design pattern best practice recommends placing the settings
menu item below all other items because it's not frequently needed.
In that spirit, I've also moved the clear passphrase option to be first
since it is likely to be used more often than database import/export.
Provides an in-app source for APN info for use in the case that the
device store is unavailable and the user hasn't provided local
connection parameters.
Only covers T-Moble USA, AT&T, and Verizon right now. Only T-Mobile is
tested. Other carriers can be added and tested on an ongoing basis.

This fix involves setting transcriptMode to normal on conversation view,
which resolves the issue but comes with the side effect that if you
have scrolled away from the bottom of the list, new incoming messages
will not trigger auto-scroll as they arrive.
Currently we're flipping the radio in "MMS" mode, and connecting through
any proxies specified in the APN. This always work, or at least doesn't
seem to work on Sprint, since the configured mms proxy rejects proxy
requests.
Instead we try the following in this order:
1) Connect over normal data connection directly to MMSC.
2) Connect over MMS radio connection to MMSC.
3) Connect over MMS radio connection with any configured proxy to MMSC.
Hopefully this doesn't fuck up shit on other unknown networks.
