I don't think a popup warning is much protection. Most people really want to see that picture that they think they just received.

  The kind of folks running TextSecure have already made an effort to install a replacement messaging application, hopefully this helps them also pay attention to the warning. If nothing else it'll slightly slow down a worm utilising this exploit...

  It mitigates the worst part of the threat: An exploit that happens without any user involvement.

  First of all, TextSecure does display pictures in MMS. It just doesn't call out to stagefright to do so. I've never recieved a video message, so don't know how that works. Second of all, the difference between a 0-click infection and a 1-click infection is huge in terms of time it takes for a worm to spread.
