I was thinking of trying to get the dialer from an ICS rom. I tried the ex dialer from the market but I'd like the stock one back. Maybe I'll look for it tomorrow.

I tried an ICS dialer from the Skyrocket forums but it just messed up my phone had to use nandroid backup. I'm thinking it was maybe a GB update and not for 4.0.3

Thanks for this. I much prefer the stock MMS app. Additionally, I've tested the Calendar app on DAGr8's ICS alpha 2 and it works great and includes the stock widget.
Are you able to receive MMS messages with the stock MMS.apk frozen? I have not been able to. They just fail to download.

Yep. Wasn't sure what freezing in Titanium Backup was so I tried my own thing. All I did was install it from the Play Market. Then in Titanium Backup under "Backup/Restore" I long pressed on "[SMS/MMS PREFS] Messaging 4.0.3-144" (see first attached image) then clicked "Open system details...". In there I disabled Messaging (see second attached image).
Just tested MMS and was able to receive a picture text from my fiance (see third attached image for success!) Hopefully this helps.

Thanks, I use TiBu all the time.
Apparently, there's some bug where it won't receive MMS from iPhones. This would be a problem for me since my wife has an iPhone 4. It would also explain why I thought I want getting them at all since she was the one I kept asking to send me test messages.
No success with email.apk

Sorry about that. I'm new to TiBu so I figured I'd err on the side of caution and be thorough with what I did (plus I had no idea if that was how to freeze an app and there was no mention of freezing in TiBu itself). I meant no disrespect, friend

I am in this same situation. I can send/receive sms messages fine to and from iPhone users. I can send MMS to iPhone user without any problem, but I can not receive MMS from iPhone.
Is there any known workaround for this?

Odd, I grabbed them out of a Galaxy Nexus CM9 package and installed them manually and no issues at all. I attached what I used, try them out. Make sure to replace or rename the existing Samsung versions.

i see. then have you tried an app called "systemapp remover"??
of course needs root to use and you can get it through android market or internet.
you can uninstall regular apps (the ones you installed) and
uninstall/disable system apps..
from the app, you can also make a backup for incase..
the backups goes to a folder called "systemappbackup" in int. sdcard
and i have this app installed and i can see the "vvm" app.
Vv is easy to uninstall with titanium backup if your rooted. What confuses people is the icon that is still left in the app drawer. That comes from the htc mms app

Thanks guys, that must be the case. The icon is in my app drawer but there's no "vvm" to be found.
Hello,
I was wondering if I could replace Samsung's messaging app with Google's SMS/MMS app or just install Google's. I really prefere Google's one but for some reason I want to keep a Samsung-based ROM (not for Touchwiz launcher, but some apps like the Camera with no shutter lag, S-Memo which I use with my C-Pen,...)
Yes you can, but you need first remove the stock messaging app

How can I replace it with Google's SMS/MMS app ? Where can I download it and will it work with my Touchwiz-based ROM ?
You can pull the apk out of CM10 build.. Push it in system/app after renaming.. But keep in mind your smses will not be threaded..

Try this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/....com.android.mms&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
I was going to use it myself but decided to stick with handcent which i've been using since GBread.
I expect you can do with this app what i done with handcent, - go into stock app - setting disable notifications, go to app manager the disable the stock message app - setup notifications on new message app and you should be good to go.
The dev also got the google calender etc too.
Hope this helps and works - let us know :good:

I extracted my MMS apk from my cm10 ROM, download it: http://db.tt/kCXioNLo
then use root explorer to copy it to system/app folder.
Then you set the right permissions (all of the first row checked and first of second row only, if in doubt check on the other apps permissions and set the same)
And the look for Semms.apk (or something like this), backup and delete it

I made a flashable cwm package for you .
It does every thing itself.
enjoy,
Thanks all ! But i've no thread in sms/mms, you have an idea ?
You will not get threaded messages in aosp messaging app.. Use the app someone posted from the market.. It is modded to be used in Stock roms

Is there really no way to have threads with the original file ? I remember when I got the Galaxy Nexus for a week, I had threads on my SMS/MMS app. With the app on Android Market I'm having issues with LightFlow and the unread count from Apex Launcher doesn't work

I'm currently on the Sprint S3, and I flashed your package. All went well, but when I tried to send a picture message, it force closed the app. When I tried to re-open the thread, it just force closes.
Btw, is there any way to get the little message icon in the lockscreen for this replacement? I miss being able to slide outward on that message icon to be presented with the latest thread.
Can someone make a flashable zip with the cm 10 sms app and whatever else is needed to make it work on the stock rom. I tried installing it to system/app, but it crases when sending an mms.... also the black theme built into it didnt work. I hate the fact that the stock sms app sends out slideshows instead of pictures.
It could require a mod of the framework. What do you like about the cm10 msg app and maybe there's an msg app on Google play that someone could suggest.

It requires considerable modding of framework, yes.
Unless you use the ICS messaging app.

By ics message app, are you refering to the one that was included in the factory build of ics? I just want to be able to send mms without sending the images as a slideshow. I was looking at the comments for go messenger and people seemed to have trouble with mms in that app. I figured I would be better off trying to get an oem app.

use root explorer rename LGmessage.apk and LGmessage.odex both to .bak
Rename mms.apk to LGMessage ( not sure if renaming matters)
reboot and the message app works perfect! quick reply, etc.
DARK THEME for quick reply will not work.
Has this file been modified to work with MMS/Group messaging?

I mean, does it work?
CM's MMS.apk needs to be modified to work with each device's Telephony code, so unless it is pulled from another device that pretty exactly mirrors the LG G2 code, it won't work.
i dont know i never ever use it lol
and i did not know that.
try and find out ?
just download 8sms from google play, its basically the cyanogenmod mms.apk with quickreply and all the good stuff. Textra sms it's really good too, I like textra sms more though.

Holy moley. Never knew about 8SMS. All I ever ask for in any SMS program is a Mark As Read from the notification drop down. This is perfect.
This works on the vzw version, although the names are a bit different... LGUSMms.bak and .odex This is great, I hated how little of the conversation you could see with the stock app.

CM mms.apk causing phone to crash
I just installed the mms.apk onto my rooted Nexus 4 and followed installation instructions perfectly, but now the app crashes every time I receive a text. Can someone offer a suggestion how to fix this issue or how to revert back to stock messenger, which doesn't appear to be on the phone anymore (the CM apk replaced it)? I know this isn't the correct forum but I am just hoping someone can help with this. Thanks for the help.

However, i personally installed to see if the MMS option existed on the note 10.1 and if it did, would it work over WiFi. It isn't even an option.

This is my current setup as well for sending texts from my pc, but I use mysms. It's always just been a little more reliable for me. Does anybody know if the new hangouts, which does sms on android now, supports/will support this functionality? I installed the new apk on my phone and received my sms through it. But I didn't see any text messages in gmail. I don't have an android tablet (yet) to test the hangouts app there.
For now I have disabled SMS in hangouts again, as it was extremely laggy (especially in a conversation with over 10000 messages. the stock sms app handles that better). I felt mysms was less reliable too.

I was hoping for the same thing. I was hoping that sms and mms would sync with hangouts so that I didn't have to create backups and such.
