Ok so I use handcent for the blacklist feature but when I blacklist someone the messages for that person still show up on stock. I tried Removing the stock messenger with titanium pro. That works except I can't receive any mms after I remove the stock messenger. ... someone help?

Go into the settings on Stock and turn off auto-retrieve, ignore Stock and use Handcent.
Handcent's blacklist only works for itself, to the best of my knowledge.
Ok will do.. kinda annoying I can't remove stock though...

Nope didn't work. They still pop up there even with auto retrive turned off...

If you have Root Explorer app, you can go into /system/app and remove Mms.apk and it will get rid of your stock messenger and still allow Handcent to work. That's what I do everytime I flash a new rom. Works great!

Or you can do it via adb commands if you dont want to purchase the app. Adb is very simple. Open a cmd window in your /tools/ dir
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm -r Mms.apk
now its removed. If you want to see what other apks are there, just type ls before you type the rm command.
Going to try tonight thanks guys. And just to clarify this will remove stock messenger bit still allow for mms through handcent?

ok used root explorer to delete mms.apk got rid of stock and handcent will send mms but i can not receive and mms though.. very annoying.. if i want a pic message i have to restore then at end of the day delete mms.apk again just because i use the blacklist feature... please someone help... do i need to do a mms fix ive seen around?
I do believe if you do an apn backup while you CAN receive and send mms messages, then delete mms.apk and restore apn's you will be set.

I'm on the Motorola Droid using the BuglessBeast ROM and I've noticed an error that occurs where my text messenger will FC and when I try to reopen it, it won't open and force closes instantly. I have to restart my phone every time this happens and I don't know what's going on. I want to uninstall and reinstall it but I couldn't find it in the market. it's the stock text messenger that comes with the US phone. Anyone have information for me?
I could really use some assistance with this issue, anyone have any ideas? please!
For testing I would try a different txt app to, handcent is very good and u may like it more than the stock one. If you don't want to use a different app then I would flash the Rom or do a nandroid restore if u have a recent back up. Good luck.

I just re-installed the rom, I'm testing it now to see if it worked.
If still having problems you can try to fix the permissions. Should be in bb tool box. The other thing is I had this problem with chevyno1 v4.6 and gmail app. I extracted the app rom the rom zip and deleted it in the system/app folder with root explorer. Then rebooted and reinstalled with app extracted to sdcard by running the apk installer. It work after that. No more FCs.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
Actually if I remember in the bb tool box you can enable godmode. That will allow you to edit the system/app folder without root explorer. You can use any file explorer if you don't have root explorer or don't want to pay for it.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
apparently in BB tools, there is a way to delete mms and re-install it, it allowed me to start my messaging without having to restart my phone (the only way I could get messaging to work after fc) appreciate the help there guys, seems like it may work this time, crossed fingers
Hey Guys, I've been trying to remove some apps that never get used. But when i tap manage applications, the Hero tries to load them but then always force closes about 5 seconds later.
Any tips on how to get around this?
I'm running firmware 2.1-update1
Thanks in advance!

I've tried to do it after restarting my phone, before I do anything else and still no luck. Has anyone else had this problem?
Try wipe dalvik. I may have gotten lucky, but it solved almost all of my force closes.
U can also remove through terminal or adb if u know the path
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Well time to start reading, I have no idea what you two are talking about. Thanks for the advice though!
What apps are u trying to remove. U can go into an app manager and it will tell u the name then go into terminal and use rm command to remove. Example.
Su (enter)
rm /system/app/alarmclock.apk (enter) and it will remove it. Or download android commander on your PC and remove with that. Easier
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Can I do this using an app manager such as Astro?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
If you have a rooted handset you can use titanium backup to uninstall apps. Does a fine job of backing them up too of course.
Yes u can. I have Linda file manager. Works fine with apps. And as stated above titanium backup as well (must have app anyway)

Blacks are so sexy on this phone, beyond just looking great(where's the screen, where's the casing, I don't know!) and the power savings.
Hmm this is odd, I'm having issues.
ADB Push is giving me permission denied.
I also have Root Explorer and made sure /system/app is read/write access.
I also tried using Root Explorer to move the gmail.apk to /system/app and rebooting several times and nothing. Gmail app won't start at all.
Also tapping on gmail.apk to try to install it to /system/data gives a, "installation not succeed"
I have root working just fine, do I need to install the unsecure boot image?

Okay so I followed the steps, except I just did it with root explorer since I don't have a computer by me. The new gmail.apk just kept saying that it would not install so I put the old one back, and now that one won't install either. Help please?

Definately would work with a pc and adb. but glad your back to normal for now. let me know how it turns out with the pc
Yeah this is weird. Before I had to do it in recovery and adb push, and it worked.
Now with the updated gmail i tried that, and it won't push, i move it with root explorer, rebooted, and gmail isn't detected.
keeps giving me permission denied again.
I think we need an updated root.

Fixed it again by going to recovery, and mounting both /system/ and /data/ then the adb push worked (while in recovery) now gmail is detected and works.
I'm using the Serendipity ROM and it has been awesome for me. My only complaint is the reskinning of the GMail application. Is there a way I can revert this back to the stock look?
Also is there an easy, free way to have full screen contact images when receiving or on a phone call?
Uninstall Gmail with titanium backup/SDK
Reboot
Install Gmail from market
If you are familiar with adb:
adb shell
su
(accept superuser prompt on phone)
rm /system/app/Gmail.apk
Now you can go in the Market and download the original from there.

edit: Nicely done Mikey. (and nice ROM while I'm at it)
adb shell

rm /system/app/Gmail.apk

I used titanium backup to remove gmail. That's actually a pretty awesome it lets me uninstall anything i want. Anyways, Gmail is gone. Now that I try to install from the market place i get, "Install unsuccessful". When I click that it says "Incompatible Version".
You didn't reboot.
It appears I need to learn how to read directions. Thanks a ton. Now everything is nearly how I wish it could be.
Do you possibly know of a free solution to my second question?
Nope. 10char

turned wifi back off and it pushed again

Just in case any of you are like me and prefer the 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) Email app better than the 3.0.0.1 (Honeycomb) Email app, I thought I would share the APK.
Some ROMs have the Honeycomb email app installed by default, and for me it does not play nice when you are not in a good data area or on WiFi.
Warning, this is intended for 2.3+ ROMs, not Froyo...
I installed it by following this process:
1. Use Titanium Backup to uninstall the Email app
2. Use Root Explorer to move the attached Email.apk into the /system/app folder in R/W mode
3. Reboot
4. Goto Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Email to clear all app data
5. Setup your email account settings, and viola!
Someone else may have a better method. If so, speak up.
Hope this helps...
Email.apk is stock 2.3.3
Email.2.apk is what is delivered with CM7 as of 9/20/11
Just tried it...but doesn't seem to show up...now I have no email...rebooted and everything. I'm running GR-12.
When you copied it to system/app did you make sure you had the folder set to r/w?

Yeah...just realized I wasn't in r/w mode so it never actually copied...I'm a little slow sometimes...rebooting now...
That did it! But...I was actually doing an experiment...while it didn't solve my issue, it made me think harder on what to try next and I figured it out so thank you!!!!
Just installed this, and finally my push notification started to work fine again! It had weird behavior on SGS II email apk. Thanks again!

Awesome, guys!
Glad I could help.
I used adb to take the existing file, push it to /system/app/
Then mounted as rw
changed group to root (was showing sdcard)
chmod to 755
mv -p back to sdcard
remounted as ro
Then went to root explorer
mount as rw
ran Email.apk (ran as an installer)
when prompted I selected DONE (open will give FC)
mount as ro
Went to Titanium backup, where Email now showed in backup history. Clicked to install (Only choice was data only).
opened terminal emulator
su
sync
reboot
email now works
I may have done some un-needed steps, but that is what worked for me.
I made the stupid mistake of moving the original Email.apk to my SD card with a mv command and borked the ownership and group ownership, as well as the permissions of the file.
So far all is working great, and email push works just great!
Thanks!

How can you tell what version is installed?
Edit: Got it.
I did your steps, with root explorer and titanium backup pro. I rebooted and everything worked. I go to enter my email and pass and it says force close? Any help?

Froyo uses a different framework. Custom apps like this can't be ported across rom versions.
