So I've extracted CM9's stock SMS app and it installs fine on MIUI, however when I reboot the SMS app is then replaced with MIUI's stock one. I've frozen MIUI's stock SMS app, and that works fine. But I can't install CM9's sms app without overwriting MIUI's one, and then obviously it'll be replaced by MIUI's one on the next reboot..
Is there a way to get around this? Or is there maybe a way to install both of them without one overwriting the other? Thank you!

Did you push it to system apps? You'll have to change the permissions to 644, but that should keep the app after a reboot.

Thank you so much! I set the permissions wrong. It's working like a charm now, thank you!

Is there a way we could install HTC messaging app on our vibrants? Maybe somebody has an apk file to try? I love Samsung one, but it lags so bad at times!

FYI, its not the htc app, but the default messaging app from CM 5.0.8 for the nexus one will install just fine on the vibrant, IF you have root, and delete the stock application.
cheers
Is there a stickey for doing such process?

Once you have root, you could either do it via adb, or go download root manager and delete stock app, then you should.be able to install the apk file of the other messaging client.

Hi i was wondering if there's a way to change the default app of a rom. For example, i use go launcher ex, boat browser, go sms pro ecc, is it possible to make those apps the dafault ones? Taking out the stock ones, and using those as stock?
When you choose one app, it ask if you want use it as default....
Thanks... I knew it! But everytime i reboot the nexus, i have to choose again all the preferences!
I meant, is It possible to substitue the default apps, with the ones i use?

I think what is being asked is,
can a ROM be unpacked, delete the apps you don't want and replace them with your own.
At least that's what I think is meant
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yes, That could be an answer! Or i don't know, is It possible via terminal, adb... Sadly i'm not a dev, and i don't know as much as i would!
Anyway... Yes! Is It possible to unpack a rom and replace the apps with the ones i want?

You can just open a rom zip and delete the apps the from /system/app/ directory.
Alternatively, you can download titanium backup from the market. This app allows you to backup or uninstall apps.

If you have Root Explorer, push the apk to system/app and change permissions to rw-r--r-- then reboot. You can do it with adb too. I've never used it so have no idea how.
how do you push using root explorer? Please explain

Did you set the permissions after pushing file then reboot afterwards?
I did, I set them to the same as the old contacts.apk. There is also a a contactsprovider.apk Does that affect anything? What are your permissions set at? I really want to get this working!
