Stock mms.apk needed

It seems I can't flash to 2.3.1 GRH78 because I get "assert failed apply_patch mms.apk" while applying zip through recovery.
I am using rootboot.img from koush.
The mms.apk is the custom app w/black background.i think the update is trying to patch the original mms.apk and failing.
Has anyone encountered this issue? Can someone post original mms.apk
Thanks

Sounds like the same issue I'm having.I'm now using dark gmail and I'm guessing u r not using the modified mms.apk

I ran into the same problem earlier today. I used the mms.apk from Cyanogenmod to try and fix my blurry MMS issues.
I think I'm just going to flash Paul's ROM tomorrow when he includes the OTA.

Here you are!

I had the same problem too with the black Mms.apk. So, I reverted back to the stock Mms from Supercurio's system dump, then, I just used adb to push it and solved my problem.
Well, looks like it's easier to find the Mms.apk ^^^^

I can't seem to install the stock mms.apk.
adb install attached Mms.apk
I get "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]" I have more than enough storage.
I also tried doing adb install Mms.apk and I get
"Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]"
Any ideas?
I also tried to to push to /system/app and reboot but that didn't work. Does it have to do with me missing Mms.odex file?

Another way is to used Root Explorer or DDMS File Explorer in Eclipse. I've included a screen shot. If you don't already have Eclipse setup you can find How too - HERE to setup.

Wipe and flash Paul's gingerbread ROM and then push black mms and gmail again. You don't lose root, you get 2.3.1 and a few other goodies like ext4 performance tweak
.

I'll try that .
i ended up flashing the stock nandroid with 2.3.1 , rooting and keeping the regular mms and gmail.
Thanks

I just added paul's Rom. Wow, it flies!
I was a bit hesitant to add a custom mod with the nexus s because it's already fast n gingerbread is nice on top of the fact that I was tired of Rom a week.
But thanks it's awesome

TW Launcher (default) reinstall

Hello fellow xda members. I had a problem the other day. I installed sgs tools and tried downloading a different launcher. It loaded the launcher fine but I wasn't satisfied. I tried restoring it but it gives the error "folder not found." I was wondering if anybody knows how to reinstall the built in default tw launcher and if I can possibly restore the layout.

I'm sure you could find the apk with a search.

Are you running a custom rom?

No, I'm runnin default android 2.2 froyo. Rooted, but nand backup doesn't work either. A few months ago, I tried backing up with rom manager, but after rebooting, their still wasn't any backups availible to restore. When I boot into system recovery, it doesn't even open cyogenmod reovery.

CM revovery? Stock 2.2? I'm confused.

I tried. Google doesn't show any, only custom launchers and I don't want that.

Bump...
Did you manually check the sgs tools folder for the backup of your stock launcher?
I've been using the gingerbread launcher from the market and I really like it. Just putting it out there to think about it.

Sorry I meant clockwork recovery mod. THAT didn't work or I wouldn't be asking for a way to reinstall default tw launcher. Thanks for all the current ideas

If you still need it, I attached it for you. Just drop it in the system/app folder. Good luck.

Never mind.someone else got it.

OMG THNX FOR ALL YOUR GUYZ (or girls if any) HELP!!! THIS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Thanks for all you guyz help ( again) but it didn't work so ill just stick with a gb launcher
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

The one from the market is super easy. And if you accidentally delete it, it's there to reinstall

This is the one from my phone. Dont know if it is what you are looking for as i am currently running Continuum, but good luck.

I think you might need the .odex file as well since I recall seeing that you are running stock 2.2. Did you delete that file?

I'm not sure. How do I check?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

You can use Root explorer or a similar app and navigate to system/app. See if there are .odex files for the corresponding apk's. If the one for the launcher is missing than that would cause the issue. What happens when you try to run the launcher? does it just force close?
edit: I was able to find the apk and .odex file from a stock 2.2 build. Just drop it in hopefully this works. Just unzip and extract the files manually.

I can't find it. All there is is the .odex for the tw launcher wallpaper

Just GB launcher.http://www.4shared.com/file/p_kJVC-_/launcher2-Only.html
This replaces your launcher2.apk with a stock launcher2.apk
Works fine for me but install at your own risk. And do a backup first.

I will have pictures up soon.
I have found out how to turn the toolbar black. To save time/trouble I asked someone if we could use their systemui.apk. I will release a second version with that as an option when I get the ok.

Thanks for this, been using modaco gingerbread launcher on the market but this one has a much faster app drawer.
Also I just unzipped and installed it no need to flash it.

Flashed three times.. no error during install... still only motoblur launcher... I see the file under system/app... any recommendations?

Using root explorer go to /system/app. Then mount r/w. Then rename blurhome2.apk to blurhome2.bak(to be safe) then(this is important) do not leave rootexplorer(you have no launcher currently) find where you have the download for this launch and go to it and click it and install it. That should do the trick.

when i renamed blurhome2.apk to the .bak version I kept getting a FC on the home application repeatedly, and it wouldn't let me back out. I used adb to rename the file back and just installed using the ASOP launcher app. worked like a charm!
It's good to see a piece of stock GB!
Thanks for all the help!

Can I flash this on a sensation? ?
Is this the 3d launcher? ?

Wouldnt having ADW or GoLauncher enabled at the time stop the force close issue until the stock one is installed? Does Home Switcher recognize it as installed once you get it all done?
Droid 1 Rooted (ChevyNo1 0.9MV Kernel, LGB2.6)
Droid 3 Rooted (Stock Kernel, Custom lite De-bloat)

When I loaded a Quick Contact widget onto the screen it seemed nothing happened. Then I realized they were invisible. I could long-hold (guessing where they were) and drag them to the recycle bin to delete the invisible icons. Weird, huh? Any recommendations on a cool contact widget?
Also, just an observation.. I was dicking with redoing my screen layout and was in landscape mode.. all of a sudden the launcher crashed and just for a few seconds I could see the motoblur launcher. The stock launcher quickly re-started and was working normally again.
By installing through the apk is it possible this launcher is just an overlay? The OP said it would replace the launcher, but I bet that's only during a CWM flash.

...
Because you couldn't get it to work with cwm I am not sure. I actually replace the file on mine. I don't touch the blur stuff. I always work from a fastboot flash, reset and and fresh root.
New post on OP. Black status bar and such.

had to restore default launcher. pdanet no longer works when this is active

Is my d3 a bad egg?
Scrolling through pages is really unsmooth for me. All stock launchers are like that for me. Obviously LP is butter for me but it seems like none of you have this problem...

All non stock launchers have caused issues for me unless you can actually change kernels and other system files. On CM on my droid Inc and inc 2 it was very easy to swap and it didn't cause issues.

I dont like ADW but thanks anyway

I use "Go Launcher" with CM7 along with "Go SMS" and "Go Chat" which you can send free texts, files etc with Go Chat/ SMS. Never had any problems with it

I use touchwiz 4.5 or a full Golauncher environment when I'm on Cm7 but already tried this stock nexus launcher that was working fine as far as I've seen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933517
Regarding all the stuffs included in or removed by the cwm zip I think it's better to extract the apk from it

I've installed the Launcher2.apk but I cant choose it :S It doesn't appear on the list ...

Put it in system/app?
I don't remember very well but if it says "application is not installed" (something like that,t'm french...) when you click on the apk then it has to be put in system/app.
Otherwise it's just that you have to press the big central home button of your phone after install,tick "choose by default" and choose this launcher.
Home switcher a nice app too to easily test launchers.

[WANTED] Flashable Stock 4.0.4 Launcher Zip

Could anyone kindly make stock 4.0.4 (preferably, if not 4.0.3 is fine) launcher ZIP file for Nexus S 3G that would replace third party launcher on custom ROM?
Thank you!!!

Could anyone help me out? I'm stuck in FC problem because of a custom ROM and I already re-flashed multiple times in the past few days so I would really hate to do that again...

Extract the launcher from a 4.0.4 Rom. Replace the one in your system with root explorer. Remember to set permissions correctly.

Well as of now, I can't proceed beyond lock screen... so I can't copy any files using Root Explorer. It force closes several different apps constantly like Launcher, Wallet, Book, etc... I have to pull the battery.
So I was looking for a flashable zip that would replace (get rid of) the custom launcher.
That's what I did though.
I was using nuhetri-reloadedv 3.0.1 ROM. It asked me to choose between APEX and Trebuchet launcher... it worked fine for couple reboots.
Then it just force closes everytime. So I reflashed it and did what you asked, but it still force closes........ So I'm back in backed up stock ROM for now...

I have an earlier version of Nova if you want. It's a flashable zip.
