Has anyone gotten this to work successfully on a stock-based ROM? AOSP Flavored Nonsense seems to have died on the vine, and none of my tricks with adb can seem to get this going on a BAMF based ROM.
Anyone have any luck with this?

This is in the complete wrong section but I'm going to help you anyway.
Download my File Mms.apk, place it on your Sdcard.
Remove HTC Messaging app via ADB or file explorer
Push Mms.apk to /system/app via ADB or file explorer
Then go to sdcard and INSTALL the Mms.apk
Reboot Phone
I'm not sure if pushing it is necessary before installation, but it's what always works me for. Remember this will remove your HTC Messaging app so back it up first, and if you want it back just follow these instructions except with the different apps.
Lemme know this works!
Thank you very much! The push then install was what I was missing!
Sorry for posting in the wrong part of the forum, won't happen again.

Aren't there problems with MMS not actually sending when using the stock app? I'd love to use it, but I remember reading about these issues

When I send it from the gallery it crashes, but I reopen it and it sends.
Shrug?
But yes, I actually removed the htc app and dropped in the stock one with root explorer, did a fix permissions, rebooted, then installed. All my messages were there, didn't need to restore them, and it worked like a champ.
MMS is acting flaky I got it to send once and now nothing. Going to try the AOSP Gallery and see if that fixes it.
Okay, install 3dGallery, and start a text message in Messages, hit menu, go to attach, picture, select gallery, select the picture and then it will send.
At least so far that seems to work.
Not quite the out of the box AOSP experience, but getting closer.
Thanks for all the help everyone!

Hello all, I was hoping someone may have run into this and might could give me some feedback.
I have my phone rooted, and use Handcent for texting. I have no problems sending pictures......and up until recently, I've had no problems receiving pictures either. At first I thought it was just going to be iPhone users, but have since experienced the problem getting pics from various phones and carriers.
iPhone4 - Verizon
iPhone3 - AT&T
Samsung Eternity - AT&T
There are a few others as well. I have disabled the original messaging app, and only use Handcent. I've had no problems until the past couple of weeks. I am wondering if maybe it isn't an update issue from Handcent......I know it has manually updated a couple of times in the past few weeks.
Anyone have any suggestions?
What do you mean when you say you disabled the original app?
What ROM/kernel are you using?

Firmware 2.1update1
Kernel 2.6.29
I rooted simply to remove bloatware, I haven't changed to any of the different ROM's or anything.
I deleted MMS.apk. I wanted to try to reinstall it, to see if maybe one of the Handcent updates caused the problem somehow, after I deleted the MMS app......but I can't get it to install. I downloaded the MMS.apk on my desktop, and open it through MyFiles. I've done a few apps this way, no problem.
MMS.apk you have to push to /system/app
You cant install it like you would a normal apk.

You can install it with ESFile Explorer if you are rooted. You can find it on the market for free. You'll then need to find a mms.apk place it on your sdcard.. then using ESFile copy the apk and place it in system/apps/
Another option would be to download GeekSMS.. it runs on its on without the mms.apk. I've tried it and it worked fine for me.

Ok, I have it on my SD....and long press -----> copy, but can't figure out how to paste it into RE.
Sorry for being such a noob.
Ok, figured out how to paste in RootExplorer.
Now that I did that, I ran MMS after pasting......it still won't install. It boots like its going to install the app, then I get a message saying it didn't install. I got the same thing when I just copied the APK into MyFiles and tried installing it.
What am I missing?
You're not supposed to try and install it. You move it into the /system/app and then it should show up in your app drawer.

So anyway I can get asop mms apk to work with working mms? Cause I tried to with my LG thrill and failed with it. Nothing ever worked. I'd prefer the stock android messagsing app. But iI don't want to flash a Rom. I know I have to root. But I don't want to flash a rom just for that.
Also Is tthere anyway to change in the framework like where its like froyo everything is vannila like a theme I know it wouldn't be something simple but would be nice
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
You have to be rooted. The mms.apk is a system app so, to get the apk to install requires you to override.
Yes I know that!!!!! I have known this since I got my first android begenning of last year....... I was asking where to obtain one that will work completely with mms working as well

I accomplished this a while ago but I can't remember how I did it! I attached the apk I used, but I don't know if I installed normally or if I deleted the old mms.apk and used this one? Here's the code for getting rid of the old apk and replacing it with this one, which is what I THINK I did.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd /system/app/
cp mms.apk mms.apk.backup
exit
exit
adb push mms.apk /system/app/
Let me know if this works
EDIT: If you want the stock android messaging, with no themes or anything, look here for the apk:

The attached file is themed black, which I think is cool, but the stock is there if you need it.

Here is a modified stock AT&T Contacts.apk file without the permanent Yellow Pages contact at the top. The is for rooted users only.
Replace the Contacts.apk in /system/app using Root Explorer. Change it's permissions to RW-R--R--. Reboot!
WARNING: Do not use this for any custom ROMs, only for use on a stock AT&T ROM! Also, remember to make backups...
Funny, I never even noticed the YP thingy on the top of my contacts till now. How lame. When I clicked on it, I got a force close. I must have already frozen whatever that button links to...
Thanks, maybe that apk can be swapped out for the stock one in our custom rom(s)...

Awesome work!! This is verified working.
Niceeeee. Like to see dev work like this. Great work. This should maybe be in the themes and apps section though. Not a criticism.
How obnoxious of them to stick that YP in the contacts ?
Thanks, I tried posting in dev but it said not enough posts . I remove the yp app and mine force closed also when clicking the contact. It's crazy how much bloat ware came on this thing. I'd like to see a stock Samsung contacts.apk to see what else they hacked up
So just did this and now Contacts is missing from my app drawer and it wont launch from my launcher tray......... and I cant make calls the phone shortcut is gone.....

I have it, PM me you email addy I'll mail it over to you. I would upload it but I'm at work right now.
I haven't tested this on any of the custom ROMs, only the stock AT&T ROM. I'm not sure what they did with their Contacts.apk file. If you upload the one from your ROM, I can see if I can make the same mods that I did to the AT&T one.
Didn't work for me either, and also copied it over stock apk and don't have a backup. Using TPC V2 ROM. Any one have stock Contacts.apk for that rom?

Using Go Contacts EX from the market for now. It's a little much, but works for good as a replacement for stock.

Make sure the download size of the vvm zip is correct (it should be 1mb), try downloading it from your PC because people have been having problems with it only partially downloading to 500kb.
Flash this in CWM to get root:

I had similar problem recently and the ONLY thing that fixed it was to disable Wifi and then start VM.
After that it worked fine and I could use it normally.

i had the same issue, couldnt get VVM to work.
I just use google voice, it's better anyway, IMHO
It's really not that hard guys. Just follow the simple instructions.
1. Download the vvm zip I posted.
2. Make sure it is the full file and not an incomplete zip! IT MUST BE 1MB.
3. Remove the current visual voicemail you have installed.
4. Flash the vvm zip in CWM.
5. Turn off wifi and make sure cellular data is on and launch the visual voicemail app and complete the setup.

I tried this, and it doesn't work. Even after removing the old VM and flashing the new one, when I use the VVM app and get into my voicemail, it tells me that "an activation message still hasn't been received" and asks me to call VM again.
Could this be a problem with my plan? Do I have to have VVM activated?

Yes you need the visual voice mail feature.
If you have AT & T messaging then you need to get that feature removed as it overrides visual voice mail.
Well everytime i download it, the file size is 554kb, any thoughts anyone?
I uninstalled the vvm that came installed with the rom, flashed the 1meg version posted in the forums, on 4g mobile network still wont activate for some reason.

Just thought I'd share with you guys if anyone wants the messaging app from stock 4.0 here it is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.mms.com.android.mms
Note:
1. You need to disable the HTC messaging app or you get 2 notifications, you can simply rename it to mms.apk.bak in root explorer. Just take out bak to reinstall it if you want to go back
2. If you do disable HTC mms then sometimes picture messaging force closes the aosp mms app
