Read the other threads on this problem but none relate specifically to the samsung galaxy s, and there is nothing relating to handcent in /data as suggested.
I also did a search with Astro for handcent and it returned nothing. I just keep getting not enough space error, all other apps install fine.
This thread says http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667049 they solved problem by uninstalling via adb but as the one of the posters says, I dont know how to do this.
Please help.
Many Thanks
So Im wondering if this is a general bug or just me:
I am running stock gingerbread installed by OTA, and the stock messaging app. The thing is when I try to delete a thread, it deletes all the messages in the thread but then it doesnt delete the thread itself, instead it just leaves the thread hanging there with no messages and I cant find a way to delete it...
Before the OTA this didnt happen, so Im wondering if this is a bug with the gingerbread stock messaging app or some glitch from the update?!
Could it be something to do with the cache?
Try restarting your phone, or deleting cache?
I've long pressed>delete thread and had the whole entire thread remain, but after deleting it a second time it actually gets deleted...
First of all thanks for the input!
I've rebooted the phone a couple times (mostly because I ran out of battery ) and still no go.
I've also tried deleting it over and over again, and still no go!
When you say delete cache, which cache do you mean exacly? Because on the applications menu I dont get an active clear cache button for the messaging app, just a clear data (which Im afraid will delete my message settings or even my messages)...
I just checked, on my phone and your right, cache isn't an option.
Clearing app data probably will delete everything too.
Idk, sorry.
So I deleted all of my message threads by using the "delete threads" option in the messaging app menu, and now I am able to delete the new threads!
Must have been some issue with importing the threads from 2.2.2... weird!
I noticed a couple of days ago that people claimed to have sent me messages (sms), but I had not noticed. Turns out that when I try to launch the Messaging application, it pops up "Sorry! The application Messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." I have no idea really when this started happening.
So I installed GO SMS, and it works fine, but still - whenever I get an sms, up pops the above error and it stays there for a while before disappearing. I wanted to find out what was going on, so I used adb to log what's going on when the Messaging app is launched. The log is attached.
The interesting lines, as I can see it are:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create application com.android.mms.MmsApp: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #230: Error inflating class com.lge.mms.wapservice.WapServiceMessageCheckBoxPreference
and
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.lge.mms.wapservice.WapServiceMessageCheckBoxPreference in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/system/app/Mms.apk]
So I now wonder if there's something wrong with /system/app/Mms.apk, it looks like this using adb shell...
$ adb shell ls -l /system/app/Mms.apk
-rw-r--r-- root root 1722767 2011-04-16 09:01 Mms.apk
Any hints on how to get the Messaging app running again?
PS - GO SMS let me backup my old SMSes, but how do I recover them?
do you use the stock rom ?
do you have rooted your phone?
do you have root explorer?
Try repairing permissions from the latest clockwork recovery
Stock ROM yes, not rooted.
Clockwork recovery? Will look that up.
I ended up doing a factory reset, and now everything is fine.

Moving to Q&A
Please help. I have a few questions.
I have recently installed Titanium Backup on my Captivate and i accidentally converted the system messaging app (SMS/MMS) to a user app. It was not backed up. It no longer appears as an app in titanium backup. Can not find it anywhere. The messaging icon has disappeared from my home screen. I opened my contacts and selected a person to send a text and hit "send message" button and got an error message saying " the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. I had to force close. I then performed a Factory Data Reset in hopes that my phone would return to the "out of the box" state. No luck.
My phone is rooted of course. Froyo 2.2
Through some investigating i learned that my phone can be booted into recovery mode, which i did. No luck. No update.zip file exist. What do i do? Thanks in advance for your help.
This really should be in the q&a but can't you use titanium to convert it back to a system app? If not just download a 2.2 rom and pull the mms.apk from it and use root explorer or similar app to move it to system/app

Hey guys! I rooted my SGS i9000 and installed the latest stable Cyanogenmod to it (9.1.0) + the GoogleApps. Before flashing, I made a Titanium Backup for the SMS messages (among others). After flashing, I chose to restore the SMS data (not app) and ignored the message that there is a ROM incompatibility between my former 2.3.3 and the current 4.0.4. Of course, now my messaging app doesn't work (i.e. when I open it and try to see a message thread, it closes with "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped working").
I tried to clear the app's cache and force-close it, then to clear the app's data (not only cache) and reboot phone. Also I tried to delete the app's data from Titanium Backup's menu. None of these actions solved the problem.
I am not sure what could I do to make it work again. Should I flash CM again using CWM?

I had the same incompatibility with TB when upgrading to CM9.
Go Backup is very good for restoring Call logs/SMS/MMS.
I was on 2.3.6 (JW4) and after flashing CM9 I restored them using Go Backup, and I re-installed all the apps from the market.
I guess you can go back to Gingerbread using Odin, restore SMS data with TB, backup again with Go Backup and then upgrade to CM9.
And by the way you can install latest nightly (0916) as it contains 9.1.0 and some additional fixes.
Yes, that could be the way to go, but I am not that interested in restoring my old messages. In fact, I just want to be able to see/write messages from now on.
OK, a follow-up with what I did in order to fix my issue:
Titanium Backup -> wipe messaging data, wipe phone/messaging data, literally try wiping and force-closing the apps multiple times until it I got bored
fix permissions via Titanium Backup
reboot do CWM, fix permissions from there, too
When I rebooted the phone, the messaging app was doing fine (and no more messages where of course in the list). I tried to send an SMS and I could finally see the thread. I hope that the issue is fixed, although I am not completely sure which of my actions actually fixed it. If someone still has an answer to why did this happen, or a solution, please post it!
PS: paraphrasing another thread: "if you need to restore SMS data, use a dedicated app which stores them online, if you need call-logs or other system settings stored you shouldn't probably mess around with your ROM in the first place"
Good Info.. i also used titanium backup to restore, worked right away. But i couldnt send messages out.
So i installed GO SMS Pro and changed the SMSC Number to the Number my Provider Uses for SMS Messaging.
Would be interesting if sending SMS is working for you with standard Messager ?
for some people *#*#4636#*#* should work.. In the Telephone Information there is a Tab for SMSC Number that can be edited (didnt work for me though)

Well, the app was behaving quite strange. I tried to send an SMS message while it was having problems, and the message got through (i.e. the recipient received it), but the app was reporting an error. I tried sending the message for a couple of other times, but apparently it did not work.
After "fixing" the app, I sent a dummy message to one of my old numbers (the SIM card is somewhere around the house, so I did not check if the message really got delivered), and the app says everything is OK.
Oh, and "the app" is actually the default Messaging app of CM9.
This is really interesting.. well every phone has its own bugs i guess.
My messages didnt come through, so i had to change the SMSC Number with another app (Go SMS PRO) from the Store.
Good to hear everything worked out for you.
Best Regards
the first solution on the internet to silly problem is here!

GOD!!! i was dealing with very same issue for like more than 5 hours! same place, damn, my sofa is dying! i tried every way of restoring it, but it hanged! actually no of sms in backup were many, somewhere around 18k! so the app was not able to handle them. anyway if anyone in future face the same issue, here is what i did,
1, open messaging app, the default cm9 one, and remove sms limit for a thread!
2, restore backup
3, app will still give errors of not responding, so now comes the most tricky part, till now you have successfully restored the backup and phone has accommodated it in, but app is still not able to handle sudden load of messages. open titanium backup tap on backp\restore tab, scroll to messaging 4.0.4 app, tap on it, tap on run app and verify that messaging app is opening, if yes then it will again hang, exit it, if in hurry everything shuts, open the same place in titanium again, now instead of run app, tap on wipe data!
thats it, check it straight away now, should b working! if still facing issues, you are welcomed to PM me
