Ok I use Google Voice for my messaging. I would like to know if anyone out there can tell me how to remove the stock messaging app but, having the APK to be able to put it back at will would be EXCELLENT.
Thanx

You can use titanium backup to do both of those things. I'm not sure if incoming sms/mms still need stock or not, so make sure you back it up.
it is safe to remove mms.apk from system/ apps and messaging is safe to freeze in titanium
cool guys Thanx.
Would this be a possible solution to not using the stock messenger that is native to GB 2.3.3 as well, if you use a SMS/MMs app from the market ?

yes, i am using handcent after completely removing the stock app, sending and receiving and picture are fine
How do you fully remove the stock messaging app? I installed Handcent and I kept getting notifications from both stock and handcent even after I disabled them for the stock messaging app. There's noway to clear the defaults, if so please advise. Thanks.

Use tb. Open up the app grant it su permissions. Choose back and restore. Find the stock msg app then press on it and choose uninstall. Reboot. Or use root explore. Open the app go to system then choose apps. Mount as r/w "it will be in the top right hand corner" then find the stock msg app and long press on it and choose delete and reboot. Or rename the .apk to .bak so if you ever want it back just rename it back to .apk

Hi, is there a way to replace system apps with my own app, like replace semchome with launcher pro, music with zimly, that doesnt cause any problems like missing apps notification error ?
You have to download the replacements and delete the system apps, however I'd search the forums on how to do that since not all of the system apps can be replaced without seriously breaking the OS.
Did anyone tried replacing system apps with own app ?

What for? just uninstall the system apps you dont want and use whatever you want as default. I removed semchome, music, semcalarm, and all the semc **** i could eliminate, which was quite a lot.

All he mention above I could delete without rupercussion, one thing however is a bit annoying. I delete the stock messaging apps and the notification for the go SMS stop working. Need to actually reinstall the messaging apk
Lol FYI I have my phone rooted ages ago

I don't use twitter. what's the easiest way to unintall twitter?
Go through Settings, Applications, find Twitter and then delete it.
there is no active icons that is lit up once i clicked on twitter. still showing taking up .94mb space. data however is 0 mb. does it mean i can't delete it?
If u are on stock rom you can't. You will have to root than using rooted uninstaller remove twitter.

If its a system app that came with your phone theres a chance you may not be able to remove it.
Get titanium backup and remove it with that.

it wouldnt install. I tried using Go SMS pro and that didn't work either. I think i know where I messed up. I think i went into the system removal app and killed the sms app in the system app. I hate being a noob -_-
You have to install as system application. I use rom toolbox lite.

Hi! The last months I have a problem with my xperia arc. I don't recieve sms when I play games. Neither notification sounds nor vibration beats.. But there is not the only problem. Even when I exit the game, the message there is nowere. Neither in go sms pro nor in system messaging app. To anyone who sends me message the report goes normally. But Ι don't have any message. I use gosms pro and at the beginning I thought that the problem is on go sms. I unistalled it and installed handcent sms. The same problem.. Finally I unistalled both and the system app worked fine.. But I think that I can't use it. It has so few options. I'm sure that the problem isn't the carrier, because I have tried two different carriers. Finally note that I used 2.3.4 stock rom and root. I have upgraded to ICS but I disappointed and returned to 2.3.4....62. I talked about this problem to greek forum too, but no soloution founds.. I hope that someone could help me.
Thanks a lot!
Have you tried stock messaging app?

Yes, I tried it, I wrote it. It works fine the stock app, but I think that it has so few options.. For this reason I try to find another solution..
i have same problem, i flash another firmware, but after 1 2 3 month, problem return again
I sorry, I missed it. It must be that while you're running a game, the messaging app runs out of ram and gets killed. I dont know if it helps installing it as system, but I imagine system apps have priority over user apps.
I'm gonna asume you're rooted, so you can use the app Link2SD, which can 'convert' an user app into system app. Try that and report.
Oh you are keeping the stock SMS app right? I mean, you don't disable it, you just disable notifications?

Yes, I keep stock sms app and disable notifications. I tried to remove it with titanium backup and I kept only gosms pro, but the same broblem. So I installed it again. Now I will try the method that you suggest to me.. Thanks a lot anyway

I converted gosms pro to system app, but unfortunately the problem still exists.. Nothing changed. I hope there is another solution..
I wonder .. if I upgrade to the last version of ICS, could gosms works fine? I can't think nothing else and I can't undestand why I have this problem. I think that I had the same problem on my xperia x8 too..
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.
