Hey guys!
So I am using Fresh 2.0d and love it! But I am having one slight issue that would make it amazing for me. I use SlidescreenPro as my home screen replacement. When using it with SenseUI roms such as Fresh 2.0d, the stock HTC messaging app is overriding the ability to set Chompsms as my main app in Slidescreen. To prove it, I deleted mms.apk, and while it did set chompsms as my main sms app on the homescreen, it removed my ability to receive incoming messages. Does anyone have an mms.apk that will be the vanilla android sms/mms app that will work with the Fresh 2.0d ROM?
bumping to the top!
Bumped to the top. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you do a nandroid backup before you started erasing apks?
Yes i did, so I do have something to fall back on. But I would need to find an mms.apk with the vanilla android messenger app. Could i take it from an asop build and that should work with fresh 2.0d?
I think i figured it all out. I unziped a ROM in which the featured worked, copied the Mms.apk, deleted the current mms.apk, and pushed the working one. Seems to be working alright.

The default SMS app in HTC Hero ROMs, to put it simply, sucks, especially since the 2.1 update, it keeps going up to the top and when opening the keyboard it doesn't scroll up either, scrolling is incredibly slow and the keyboard is quite laggy in this app.
I'm not keen on any of the ones in the market, specifically ChompSMS and Handcent (Chomp has ads and is slow, Handcent is slow).
I run a rooted HTC Sense ROM and just want the standard SMS app, it's fast and simple. I tried Froyo Elelinux (on the development forum but can't post link because I'm a new user and it's recognised as an outside link for some reason) the other day and the SMS app in that is great, from memory it's the same as the 2.1.
Does anyone know where I can grab this in APK form that'll install on my rooted but otherwise standard HTC ROM?
Thanks!
I too hate the Sense Messaging app. I use Handcent though, I do like the Message app from 2.2 it's quick and clean. If I find the stock 2.1 version I'll post it here.
EDIT: Here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=367490&d=1280204330
Thanks! But it doesn't install. I suppose I need to remove the Sense one first?
Edit: I used adb to rename Mms.odex in /system/app and then used adb push to overwrite stock mms app with the AOSP Mms.apk. It's so much better only problem is it doesn't seem to go into landscape mode...
If you want the ability to swipe left/right on your contacts from the contacts app to go messaging/direct call then you can try out the Mesmerize's Contacts app. I've tried it out and the Contacts app works on the Fascinate and has the missing Swiping features.
Attached is a .rar containing "Contacts.apk" and "Contacts.odex" directly from the Mesmerize System Dump for those as well as a "Contacts.apk" that I deodexed and zipaligned in a folder in the .rar.
*Edit: According to Flipsoul, the .odex version doesn't work, so stick with the deodexed one in the folder, if you are still using an odexed system, rename or remove the Contacts.odex to get the app to work.
I take no responsibility for any damage you may do your phone, and enjoy the app.
Awesome, thanks. I liked that on the vibrant. Is the browser usable?

Not to bubble burst but that's built into the Fascinate out of the box too. Some of you guys running clean ROM's et al might have lost this but it was there and still is if you didnt get rid of it
Nope, I've never flashed any ROM over my /system other than to update to DI01, my /system apps are stock, only mods I've done is deodex/zipalign it myself, and I never had the swipe to Call/Message before. So unless DIO1 removed that functionality, I'm confident to say I never had the feature until I applied the Mesmerize Contacts.apk
Saps, maybe you meant swiping from the text messenging app and from phone, because yes I've always been able to swipe from those, but never Contacts app.
I just got my fascinate and all I have done is root it. Still using stock rom and I DO have that functionality, I can swipe left/right and get the message call stuff, just tried it

I have deodexed my system and have the stock fascinate contacts app and mine swipes left and right.
There are swipe options for both versions, but it doesn't work the same. On the stock fascinate version swiping gives you the OPTION to place a call or send a message. On the mesmerize version, swiping takes you directly into that action without asking.

Exactly. So I don't see the benefit of using this.

I was getting into bootloops when trying to install the odex version.
After deodexing my system, the deodexed version went loaded everything fine.
EDIT:
Did some more research on odex/deodex (still just tinkering)
Someone else try to confirm it does/doesn't work. for the odex files.
It might actually have been fine if I knew how to clear the dalvik cache before.
>.<
EDIT2: I'll try going back, and testing again tomorrow when I have time.
Does the Dialer work as well? A non-Verizonized voicemail button would be nice.

Sadly, no don't think the Dialer works, or at least I can't get it to.
Hmm.
Went back and reloaded my odex system and tried installing the odex versions, rebooted into CWM, wipe data/dalvik_cache, and still wouldn't boot.
Hmm.
ughhh.. i need this to work!!
The deodexed apk should work on any system as long as you rename/delete the old odex.
Suggest you take a back-up first.
I had originally tried the odex file to see if it would work....
But from what I've learned it doesn't seems like using an odex from any other system wouldn't do you much good.

That's OK, the Google Voice-voicemail Dialer mod is a perfect match.
edit: nevermind
So I've been using this and REALLY REALLY like the simplicity of swiping to call/text.
Does anyone know of a recent dialed calls app that lets me do the same, there as well?
Being a recent first time smartphone user, I somehow can't get over the fact that these phones don't have a dedicated 'dial' button. All feature phones that I've ever owned had a green button that I could press once to get into the dialer/recent dialed list and immediately press again to call that number. Currently, it takes just too much work to go hit the contacts button, then the to select a contact and THEN to dial/text.
bump ? ? ?
ok how would i go about installing this? downloaded the .rar now what....
Hello,
I'm currently running Darkyy's v7.5 on my SGS. I don't really like sms/mms app that's included, because of the white colors.
I know that darkyy has planned to go back to original sms app in v7.6.
But besides the colors the sms app seems very cool to me, not showing these bubbles in conversation and some other things
I'm not very well versed in modifying apps with apktool and eclipse, but I wonder if it's possible to just customize the colors of the app?
Think I already found the right color-tags but after baksmaling, changing them, smaling and signing, I get FCs everytime I try to run the app. Also I can only replace the original with root explorer, cause I don't know how to rename the package, cause ecplise just gives me a lot of errors.
Andybody suggestions or solutions?

Search and read the thread on how to morph DOC's ROM to your like-abilities.
Yea docs has a black/grey modded sms app in it...not the samsung version but the AOSP one
Sent from my Captivate
you might want to take a look at the mms.apk of the cyanogen rom , it's same as stock , but there is a black theme included , you can also change the font size.
or you can go with go sms for example , which is very nice
Old SMS app on my Darky's 7.5.
1) Insall "Root manager" app
2) Go to root/system/app
3) Tap on "Mount R/W" in top of the window ##for premitions
4) Delete the Mms.apk
5) Copy attached Mms.apk root/system/app
If you ever will wont to go back to (IMHO) very nice sms app.
Thanks for your suggestions!
I managed to get back to the samsung sms app.
The apps from Doc's rom I found had the same white colors, I could find a dark one. Doc's rom 6.2 only includes the stock app.
But for now, I'm pleased to have the samsung sms app back again.
Anyway, if someone has a link to a dark aosp sms app, feel free to post
I have searched everywhere but can't find anything,
I would love to use the stock calendar app on doc's rom or any other rom for that matter. But i'm not able to find anything that works.
Does anyone know if this is even possible?
I've read that if you use the aosp mail app, the camera fc's.
But nothing about the calendar app.
I would love to know a bit more, I can't imagine it's that difficult.
There is a thread for stock eclair apps and I remember using them once, they seemed to work I recall.
If anyone knows a way I would love to know, I'm getting pretty frustrated with samsungs aproach to the calendar

Any idea how to install aosp calendar?
It's in the market.
You'll have to uninstall the Samsung one first, then reboot.
Sent from my Captivate.
No. The AOSP calendar is NOT in the Market.
I have the same question: how to get a working AOSP calendar in Froyo???
But in this strange sgs community, everybody seems to love so much the TouchWizz Calendar!
Bllblb. It's ugly, not practical, and you cannot read the events titles directly from the week view.
I succeeded installing the Calendar from a CM6.1 Nexus1 Rom. But not the Calendar sync. So it works, but you cannot choose wich calendar to hide.
So. I'm not responsible for nothing, but you can try what I have done.
Download the rom here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/187-update-cm-611-n1-signedzip/
Extract from system/app/calendar.apk
-> Or instead of 1. et 2. you can just download from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18608283/Calendar.apk
On your sgs, use Root Explorer (or ADB if you know how). Delete (make backup first) TWcalendar.apk in system/app/ in your device.
Push the calendar.apk from the rom into system/app/ in your device.
Install it.
Reboot.
You're done. As I have said, the app works, but it Force Closes whenever you try to get in menu/more/calendars.
If somebody have an idea to get he whole thing working... It'd be great!

I don't think this is true either, where did you get this info from may I ask?
Thanks Judim but I have also tried that, had the same problem.
I'm using "Touch Calendar Free" at the moment, it's not as good as google's but still beats the living sh** out of samsungs...
Ah well if this thread bumps we'll just have to wait for CM7 to arrive or buy a Nexus S.
The first way is a bit cheaper though
Try also Business Calendar Beta from the Market. It could be a replacement waiting for a CM7.
I see you're also coming from the Hero... Small device but great CM roms
Cheers!
Here is an AOSP calendar app that I'm using on my Vibrant. It does have the fc issue when selecting more calendars, but does not have the dark bar at the top blocking week one of the month. It does have a skewed transparency up there, but its a mere annoyance and won't affect anything. Push to system/app. Oh the icon is ginger-green to match my rom, but thats all that I changed with the apk.
Hi,
Running DL30 Super Clean 1.0 with DJ05 Radio.
I was having weird issues sending MMS and decided to try to reinstall the messaging app from ROM manager under jt1134's section. Bad idea - it opens and I can read my messages - but after sending one (either SMS or MMS), the app FC's. Can someone please post just the new messaging app from DL30 for me?
Also, is anyone else having trouble with MMS after upgrading to DL30, using this radio? SMS was working fine, and I could send photos just fine - but long plain text messages (those that were long enough to have the phone convert them to MMS) were not received properly (at least on non-smartphones).
I did wipe data/cache and dalvik cache in the upgrade process.
The only thing I can think of is that after upgrading to DL30, I restored "SMS/MMS prefs". This resulted in my old text messages becoming available (I hadn't backed them up prior to DL30), but wonder if perhaps something didn't play nice with the new messaging app for DL30.
Anyway, I don't really care about my old messages anymore, just want new SMS and MMS to work.
Thanks in advance,
JB
You've got the stock messaging app and you just don't know it. Unzip the superclean zip on your computer, navigate to system/app (of the unzipped superclean, on your computer) and pull messaging.apk out of there. throw it on your sdcard, then copy/paste it from your sdcard to system/app on your fascinate. Then reboot.
Voila, stock messaging app back where it should be.
Thanks! Total brain fart, should've known this.
Very cool except I do not see that apk anywhere in the superclean zip.
You're right, there's no particular "messaging.apk" in system/app.....try "mms.apk" ? Just a guess...i know sms and mms are different, but it might work?

Didn't mean to hit thanks for the above poster, but oh well. He is correct. mms.apk is what you are looking for.
