Any ideas how to install the AOSP ICS MMS.APK?
I'm running the LPB leak so i've got the ugly TW MMS.apk. I've tried MMS.APK from a CM9 download but it didn't work. Is there a flashable CWM file available? Currently using Handcent.
Thanks
I've been looking into this myself, as I much prefer the ICS look to the horrible iPhone-alike TW MMS app.
There's a thread that provided the stock ICS app, but the files were on multiupload, so it's not downloadable at the moment. The OP there indicated that there was a problem running the MMS app anyway.
I have tried grabbing the MMS.apk from the latest CM9 release for the SGSII, and that exhibits the described problem; the thread list appears, but the app FCs when trying to open a message thread.

There's also an ICS MMS app on the market, but it has been modified to include ads, so I'm not interested in that one.
Some guys looked at removing the ads, but the thread was shut down (for obvious reasons).

How did you try to install.As an apk. or using root explorer to pass to system/app folder?
Just wanted to bump this thread. I love the AOSP MMS app, and it FC's on me on Samsung LPH firmware. I tried pasting it to system/app, and it fc's when I try to send a message. Hopefully someone can port this apk
I believe you have to replace another apk as well.
If you want a rom that already has it, try Spike's Pure ICS special edition. It has aosp mms, calendar and contacts.

Westcrip's Resurrection Remix 9.4 is really good too. I've been using ever since 9.2 and it's been perfect so far - no FCs or bootloops or any problems at all, really. And apps are AOSP. He also has black versions of AOSP SMS and Market among others, which I love.
+1 for the AOSP mms.apk. Also tried replacing mms.apk with AOSP from different roms but it doesn't work.
I'm using Spike's Pure ICS 6.1, too bad the special edition is only in English. If Spike (or someone else) could give us a working AOSP mms.apk that would be great!
Now who wants AOSP MMS.apk for their S II?!
Download the following zip file and flash it:

Note:
1. Make sure you flash it only after you have already synced up your contacts with google (do not flash it immediately after flashing a new rom)
2. This zip will replace your SMS app, CONTACTS app, CALENDAR app and your CALCULATOR app to AOSP versions.
3. Be sure you take a nandroid backup before flashing.
4. You must be in a Samsung ICS ROM (XXLPQ only) for this zip to work.
5. I did not create this zip. The credit goes to Spike_M who made this zip that can be flashed to his ROM Pure ICS. Do try out his ROM.
ENJOY!!
Thanks RobinRichard, though unfortunately this didn't work for me on XXLPQ (root with CF-Root). Phone and messaging services die horribly after flashing that zip with CWM -- "phone has stopped" and "messaging has stopped" dialogs constantly pop up
Will have a play when I have a bit more time, but I have restored the Samsung apps for now.

I updated my post. Plz download the new zip and try it. It works well for me.
Im on lpq (litening rom 2.1) and it works perfectly for me too!
I used AOSP mms.apk from Spike's Pure ICS V7.0. It worked well. Btw, I used root explorer to copy the apk in/system/app
Hi,
How did you paste the apk into system/apps? mine says read only ?!?
And also did you just paste 1 file or did you copied a few? like the files in the framework?
Someone have dialer app? =) btw, i'll make a custom rom with dsixda kitchen, so, i put the files in /system/app, right? also for the files in framework folder? right? =)

You can use a program such as Root Explorer to remount it. If you don't have that, there are other ways to do this using adb.
Does anyone happen to have a working mms.apk thaybis the same as the one in cm9? I think the aosp one is horridly ugly as is the Sammy one, but love the one used in cm9. But because it has a long way to go yet I don't wanna run cm9 as an every day driver.
Is it way to use phone.apk and contacts.apk from Samsung ROMs in AOKP ROM ? I have favourite rom but don't like this 2 apps and want to change it for sammy's

I tried to put the samsung calculator and calendar into aosp rom, but couldn't. might need samsung framework.
My phone rubs Rootboz rom which is 4.2.1 aokp, and I'd likr to take an apk from a stock Android rom (musicplayer.apk), and run on my phone, I have already tried putting it in system/app and I've changed it's permissions correctly and managed to install it but it FC everytime, Isthere any way to convert this specific app so it could fit my phone?
Appreciate any help.
Your not taking an app from stock android ROM or aosp, you're trying to install a Samsung app on a custom ROM I doubt this will ever work, just try a music player from the market there are loads of ones just as good cough power amp cough

You can try copying twframework aswell because some samsung apps rely on the framework
I'm on Stock Jelly bean and just like the majority of you, I hate the stock Sony dialer and contacts app. I don't want it in my phone but I really like the CM dialer, contacts apps. I've downloaded the CM10 zip(the accidental release that doesn't boot). It has the phone.apk and contacts.apk. Can anyone help me to replace the Sony stock apps to CM apps? I tried renaming original SemcPhone.apk but it didn't work. Any other ways? After all, will it work the way I want it?

It won't work like that, I think they're framework related. You would have to edit the framework.
Yeah, it's not going to work.
I really miss the stock motoblur clock app. I just have a question that can I install that clock app on my CM7? If yes, please post the apk
I think that all the blur apps are not compatible with any other rom, i mean they will not be installed in any other non-blured rom (i am 99% sure about that)(ex. i tried with no luck installing a touchwiz app on cm10.1) but you can always give it a try.
I dont use GB so i cant provide you the apk, but its easy to find it. just download a blured rom, then open the flashable zip (with a browser) and find the apk in the system apps

That's EXACTLY the thing I was looking for! I guess I'm not the only one who liked the stock clock app! THanks man! Great work!
