MMS.apk help

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.

Vanilla SMS app

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...

Ninja Morph Problems

I recently flashed a gingerbread theme, and I love the black status bar, except how the notify icons look on it, since they were made for a white bar. So I'm trying to use Ninja Morph to change the icons, which seems like a simple procedure, but it's being very frustrating. I had the TweetDeck icon changed and working correctly, and then a half hour later it started FCing on me. Don't even get me started on the Google Voice app, that seems to work at complete random with no rhyme or reason.
This is frustrating. What's the trick here?

You know I was having the same problem I updated some of my Icons and i followed the instructions and made sure all my images were the same size name right ones and png's and everything then as soon as it rebooted it only gave me FC for every app but two and that was the dialer and the browser and the dialer only worked for incoming calls, the only solution was to sbf. No fun I cant figure out what i did, so no im thinking maybe i have a corrupted file and i need to go in and one by one change them out to figure out what was the cause if any. (oh did i mention this happened three time, what a pain in the a--) Well My advice would be to look at the specifics of what you are doing then maybe start over or try something different, but other than that IDK.

I could test for you. What apps and what icons? Maybe you could post them and I will do it and see what you're doing wrong (if anything). You know market apps have to be signed. Stericson has an app for that too called Signapktic. Works on the phone but in order to use it you have to tell Ninjamorph "NO" after it creates the package then you have an APK of your project in the AndroidThemes/workspace directory. Once signed you can zipalign in terminal and install. Let me know if you need a walkthrough for this method and I will write one up for you.

I'm having problems with ninjamorph too with it just hanging and never finishing. I have some sweet ideas too

I could use a write up of how to do it via terminal if you could do this it would be greatly appreciated. Trying to switch a green for blue android in the Advanced task killer app and am having trouble

If you morph any thing different than a system app you have to re sign the app. Use Signaptic its free on the market. Also when you use signaptic choose the platform iption.

[Q] How to install aosp apps on doc rom

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
Regards,
DaanJordaan

Any idea how to install aosp calendar?

It's in the market.
You'll have to uninstall the Samsung one first, then reboot.

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.

[Q] Anyone have stock DL30 messaging app?

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.
