If like me you unlik the original LG g4 dialer.
You can use this one from nexus original Google dialer 1.1
Unzip fil and use root explorer for copy it ( root/system/priv-app)
644 after moving it into its proper folder. Do this either through your file manager app or via a shell
Reboot
And your new icon will be on the drawer.

Doesn't seem to work for me? App doesn't show after reboot
Edit: Permissions needed to be 0755
You copy the dialer folder on priv-app after unzip ?
Doesn't work for me either.

It works fine what was missed is that in order to get it working you need to set the proper permissions on folder and apk. Thing is that there's no way to make Google dialer the default phone app. And there's a dual pop-up when receiving calls as well as both Google dialer and LG phone in call ui pops up when dialing and ending calls.

Hmm. I copy the folder using Root File Manager to root/system/priv-app
But it doesn't show up.
Ok which apk I need to freeze in Titanium back up?

Tried that with Titanium, you cannot freeze the default dialer/in call UI, doing so will cause you to no be able to answer an incoming call. Call is the app responsible for popping up the LG incall UI, once you freeze that when you receive a call the phone will ring but you will have no way of answering the call. Also freezing the default phone you lose the ability to view contacts.
there has to be a file somewhere that is pointing Android to which app to use for answering calls.
I just used this on my G2 and it works, thanks!
I couldn't get this to work using the folders which unzipped from the file.
I finally did get it to work by copying the apk directly into the priv-app folder, and giving it the permissions suggested above.
Working great.

if you replace this apk with the one in your system/app folder, it will work without you having to open the apk and install it. just make sure you back up your orginal email.apk as this one has one problem.
it needs to be resized to fit our phone, we are missing the refresh button at the bottom of the app and it also cuts off the bottom of emails.
what im asking is, can someone resize the dimension of the apk to fit our phone ?

I've been using the one by Smoothone since the day after he posted it and am having no problems retrieving my emails from my Google and Yahoo accounts. I'm using Nero V3.
After you push the apk to system\app go to your phone settings, applications, manage applications and find your email app and clear your data and cache. This had solved many issues for lots of users.

I'm using the app from Smoothone, the feature set is great and it doesn't enforce my organizations exchange security policy, so I can use it without having to set it to the stupid numeric lock screen, or allow a remote administrator to wipe the phone.

Open Root explorer
Navigate to system/app
Scroll down to email.apk and change to email.bak (saves apk for later, should you want to revert back) to do that just long press and use 'rename'.
Find the email.apk file that you downloaded, long press it, and then either 'move' it or 'cut' or 'copy' it and 'paste' it back into system/app
Alternatively, I like to copy the original .apk and paste the copy in a created folder called stock ROM apps. Then just move the new .apk over the original one in the system/app file. No need to change the names and you can always go back by copy pasting the old one over the top of the new one.
Hope this helps
I've pushed it, but I can't get it to load my inbox. Deleted the files in App manager, but it still doesn't do anything to load the mails. It keeps saying that it's loading, but never finishes. I was able to send a message to my gmail account with it, but I was not able to retrieve one to the inbox that I returned in reply. The outbox works. The inbox is not.
Any suggestions?
P.S.
How about a black version instead of the cartoony blue that Samsung's got running through TouchWiz?
thanks Much appreciated MonteCristo22

Assuming you copied the email.apk to the root of your internal. Open root explorer. Find the folder called 'sdcard' that will be your internal. Click on that and find the new email.apk. Sometimes there will be a duplicate with a ._ in front of it. It isn't that one. It will just says email.apk and have a little android next to it. Long press on that icon and use the move command.
Then use the back button to go to the previous screen and you should see a folder named 'system'. Tap that file. The second file on the next screen is the app file. Click that. Now at the bottom of the screen there should be a button that says 'paste'. That button became active when you used the 'move' command. Press the paste button and it will move the new email.apk to that folder.

Help - need stock email.apk for Galaxy S
Please help.
I need the stock email.apk for Samsung Galaxy S 2.3.4.
I replased my and didnt save the original.
*known bugs* May send text message to wrong recipient. I have not had this happen yet, but it has been reported.
I have attached the MMS.apk that I used for this. If you have an updated MMS that you want to try go for it. Also if anyone has the cm 7 MMS and can get it working let me know. I couldnt extract it and get it to work. I got this mms from a ROM someone made for the captivate. I only use it for the long multiple vibrate notification for text messages that I often miss when I am at work due to the noisy factory conditions I work in.
Method for install
1. Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine the mms to your phone. Alternately you can put the mms.apk on your phone and just install it from there, but it requires sideloading to be enabled, although if you have it rooted, you probably have sideloading enabled too.
2. Uninstall the "Text messaging apk" using titanium back, or root explorer. *requires root*
The old apk is called text messaging apk in titanium backup. Not sure the exact file name(text.messaging or whatever) as I have deleted it already.
Thanks for this. Stock mms is the best IMO. Speedy and stable
Sent from my Atrix 4G using XDA app.
I have been really wanting to do this, but I am not seeing mms.apk anywhere on the phone itself. I am guessing motorola calls its mms app something different? I have the new one on the SD card ready to go, but I don't know where the old one is to backup/freeze in the meantime.
Edit: Maybe it's conversations.apk?

You're right, it seems to be called Text Messaging in TiBa, I don't see an actual file when using root explorer, but freezing "text messaging" in TiBa and installing this mms.apk is working perfectly. Thanks for your help
This MMS apk still has the pre 2.3.2 SMS bugs.
Well that's not good. Ill ask around in the captivate forum for a newer version. I get a parsing error when I try to pull it out of the update file on cyanogenmod. I even tried swapping out the cert files within the apk itself and I still cant get the newer apk to install. I will update the op.
I have a o2 contract SGSII.
When I try and send a text message which is over 3sms in length, the phone converts it to a mms. This is annoying as I have to pay extra for mms whereas sms is included in my allowance.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Is there a way to stop it?
Thanks

Please please please Do!! Thanks in advance!
Many of us use sms a lot and i frequently send out long long long stories to my friends. Here in India while SMS is free for my carrier, MMS is charged!
So please help!
I like the stock app since it has a big field to write the messages, not just two or three lines unlike other.
Does any third party app have this?
Found what's causing it. Now just to figure out how to prevent it
Think it's fixed. I'll pop an experimental fix in VRTweaks for it in the XWKE2 ROM.
I set it to allow 9 SMS messages before making it into an MMS. Equally, I removed the 10 recipient limit and made it 200, for Christmas/New Year bulk texting
OK. Got a few files to test. Backup the files /system/app/mms.apk mms.odex. Delete MMS.odex now.
Then put these into /system/app/ and reboot. Let me know how it goes.
There's a couple to try. Give them a shot
Try first: www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/VRTweaks/XWKE2/TRYFIRSTmms.apk
Then if that fails, try: www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/VRTweaks/XWKE2/TRYSECONDmms.apk
Remember to rename to just "mms.apk" and let me know how it goes.
Downloading n flashing now gimmie some minutes,
EDIT:- Tried through Root Explorer would not let me install, must I push with ADB if so could you explain Iv'e forgotten how.

I have tried the files you have links to, but when rebooting the message app completely disappears.
When I revert to the backup files and reboot the messaging app comesback again.
@XenonAndroid you don't need to install just place files and reboot (I think).
If you have anymore files to try let me know.
Thanks for the effort!

@pulser
I just wanted to clarify i was doing things correctly. This is my first android phone so excuse the noobiness.
I backed up the original mms.apk and mms.odex files.
Then i copied tryfirstmms.apk to system/app. Renamed to Mms.apk (the original had a capital M i dont know if its case sensitive). Then i deleted mms.odex.
Then reboot.
Root explorer gave me the option to install the mms.apk but when i tried it gave me a 'program was.not installed' message.
After the reboot the message app disappeared from the applications screens.
I will try and do a logcat but im just reading up about how to do it.

Sounds fine to me. No need to try to install the APK though... You just need to put it in the folder and reboot the phone You can restore your backups for now to be able to send messages, as I will explain...
I think this will only get fixed when I release VillainROM for the SGS, as I need more control over the system than I can get right now
This fix should work, but Android's security is rejecting the application due to signatures. I know how to fix it, but you need to use a different ROM base which I've been working on here
I got the email apk from gingerbread up and running on the nook tablet *will update with screenshot. I figured I would try and it worked so no more *****ing about the stock email app being crap. You can now fix it.

Move to system/app using root explorer *or free alternative.
change permissions to:

It worked just fine on my tablet and another persons tablet. Check completely through your app drawer for it it should be called "Email"

I am using Go Launcher Ex...after reboot I looked at E and M for Email or Mail...well, it wasn't there (even though I was sorting alphabetically)
It turns out, it WAS there in my app drawer...it just went to the very last page of my app drawer and was listed after Widget Locker...obviously NOT in alphabetical order, haha
Maybe you guys were also having this problem?

Yeah, exactly the same thing happened with me. Go Launcher doesn't always seem to auto-sort correctly.
Not sure if that's an error or feature of Go Launcher but it doesn't seem to happen all the time. Recently downloaded apps are placed at the end of the app draw. I like it cause I down load so many apps, I forget what I've downloaded.
Lately however, I've noticed that new apps appear in order with a little orange label in the upper right corner of the icon - I think it says new.
Awesome! Thanks, Indirect. This worked perfectly for me.
On a side note, this also fixed an issue with contacts. I was stuck with the abysmal stock contact list manager, because nothing else I installed would allow creation or editing of contacts. With the stock email app is in place, I can now use GO Contacts to create and edit contacts.
BTW: email addys open a new email, street addresses open in Google Maps, and phone numbers open chat in textPlus if you have these installed.
the download link is no longer work. Can you send me a new URL?
Thanks
Please ignore my last post. I found it at your other thread.

If you know of any other safe to remove bloatware, please let me know and I will add it
Fix
Reinstalls ShowMe.apk,.odex and HTC_Widget_ShowMe.apk,.odex
Undo
Reinstalls all the removed apps. http://db.tt/kSvKSQCv
Boot Animation Sound Remover
Removes the boot-up sound...the "DROID" thing...'cause I got annoyed at listening to it over and over....
Camera Shutter Remover
Removes the camera shutter sound and the video record start sound.
Well it turns out this method doesn't work on this phone...but quick, easy fix....HTC lets you turn it off in the camera settings: open camera, click the settings icon, scroll down to camera interface and uncheck shutter sound
very good, easier than sitting here freezing it all in Titanium. I tried using Absolute System but being S-on for now means no go. Thanks
I manually deleted them via the built in file manager in twrp recovery.

Yeah I started by doing that....but I decided it was taking too long and it would be easier to do an "adb shell ls" in /system/app and just copy and paste the names of the ones I wanted to get rid of into a zip
Although looking back, that way would've been quicker than making this...but whatever
Just curious. To anyone who has run this, how much space did it free up on the internal storage?

Any idea where Amex Serve is located/what it is named?

I believe /system has its own, separate amount of storage...so deleting these doesn't get you more space in /data
Not 100 percent sure on that though.
Yeah, just looked in Titanium Backup, System has 1.84GB and Data has 12.2GB
And anyway, these apps are a few megabytes...so....at most maybe a couple hundred megabytes of system are freed up

Amex Serve is "VZW_Serve.apk and VZW_Serve.odex"
So /system/app/VZW_Serve.apk

Duh... sorry, the VZW prefix messed me up.
Is there an easy way to modify the script to remove stuff that I want to stay? I've had issues before when I changed a file in a Zip as I don't have a Zip program installed. Using Win7 64-bit.

Just open the zip(don't extract it), navigate to "META-INF\com\google\android" and copy updater-script to your desktop(or anywhere really). Then open it with notepad(I used notepad++, but notepad should work fine) and edit the line that says "delete("/system/app/......". When you've finished adding or removing the apps you want to keep or want to remove save the file and copy and paste it back into the zip.
Let me know if you need me to clarify anything

Worked like a frikken charm man, thanks so much... saved this lazy-arse some time!
Added a way to remove the boot animation sound to the op
I also have one for disabling the camera shutter sound if anyone wants it

Hey, does this script (or one of the apk's in the script) remove the HTC widgets? (I don't have Mail, power bar, toggle widgets, etc.) I believe they were there before I ran the script...

I let all the bloatware apps update via the Play Store when I restored my phone after unlocking. It freed up 200MB for me on the data side, no idea on the system side.
Looking back at it, I think the removal of HTC_Widget_ShowMe.apk/HTC_Widget_ShowMe.odex gets rid of all the HTC Widgets. If so, does anyone happen to have a copy of them so I can push them back to my phone?
EDIT: OK, clearly I am a moron, the ShowMe removal did not affect the HTC widgets. I still don't have things like the Mail widget when I go to put a new one on 1 of my screens though. I can see the APK via Root explorer. Anyone have any idea on what the issue may be?

Rexdog, I would appreciate if you would post this info. Would like to have the camera sound muted.
Thanks for sharing your work!

I think you're on to something. I'm also missing the option of adding the HTC widgets although the widget I previously had is still on my home screen.
Somehow this is hiding those widgets from the Widget Screen but not removing them from the system.

Did not realise that was doing that....sorry guys....I'll try to find a copy of them and upload it here for y'all.... And as soon as I'm at my computer I'll edit the zip so it doesn't delete those

Whew, thankfully it's not just me... anyone else confirm that they cannot add any new HTC branded widgets? Or, if you ran this script and can still add widgets, did you omit any of the APK's from the script?
Rexdog: I have the DroidDNA system dump zip file... if you can just post the ADB command to flash the file(s) back, I may be able to find out which one will get this feature back by the time you get to a PC.
