How to move the stock messaging app to another rom? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hey guys, so I was successful in moving the TW launcher over to the eclipse rom by just pulling SecLauncher3.apk from another rom, placing it in eclipse system apps and setting permissions. It worked great.
Now I'm trying to move the stock TW messaging app over and I can't figure it out. I moved SecMms.apk over to eclipse system apps and set permissions but it didn't work. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!

Should have worked, where did you get the mms app again, I know you said stock. Umm try one from a different source.

+1. Would like this too

DJ05 Clean .9 MMS Fix

Here's a way to fix MMS on DJ05 Clean .9. Clean comes with the AOSP messaging app, but I use handcent, neither of which would send. Today I deleted the AOSP mesaging app
-adb shell
# rm -r /system/app/Mms.apk
#exit
and then pushed the MMS app from deodexed stock DJ05. Here's the link - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1185896/Fascinate/Mms.apk
Take this app and push it to the /system/app directory with ADB (I didn't try installing with root explorer, or ASTRO)
-Also, I'm sperman on the IRC, so PM me if you need help
-http://alltechdaily.com/2010/12/fixing-mms-on-clean-9/ <- Has my email, you can also comment (or check my forum soon )
I'm not even sure you need to delete the old Mms.apk as when i did this i just did
Adb push Mms.apk /system/app and it worked fine.
I use the stock Mms.apk on clean .9. I hate the bubbles, but like the direct unlock with the puzzle lock screen.
Are you talking MMS as in pictures? Or texting (SMS)
When using root explorer, I get a message saying there isn't enough room to paste the apk?

I'm running that rom and i havent installed any updates. MMS works on both the stock messaging app and handcent for me. is it kernel specific? or did i just get lucky somehow?
What kernel are u using? I'm using 12/12 test non voodoo...

When you install the ROM it gets overwritten automatically It's not like we're doing it on purpose.
Thanks OP, this fixed my issue as well!
Never had an issue with v9. Just flashed the stock mms.apk deodexed file and no problems here

I am having the mms-only problem. I am using the 100% original JT super clean 0.9 rom with no extra SMS/MMS apps added or removed. My SMS works great, no duplicates or fails since updating to all the DJ05 stuff, but in-network MMS is completely broken. I tried applying the Mms.apk replacement and it doesn't seem to have worked. I am using the 1212_test kernel, I tried the stupidfast kernel but the battery life was terrible so I prefer this one.
edit: never mind about the touchwiz tray layout, got that figured out.
To confirm, I flashed voodoo 5 stock yesterday ans mms still worked with that fix in handcent.

SC .9 deletes Samsung messaging and replaces it with stock messaging when you flash it.

Is there a specific kernel we need to use for this to work?
it worked for me on several stupidfast kernels along with voodoo 5

Stock messaging app

Is there a way to completely remove the stock messaging app without messing anything else up? If so, what do I remove? I'm rooted tuning warm two point three. Thanks in advance!

If you have Titanium, you can just freeze it and it won't show in your app drawer. I am not sure if you can remove it and still have messaging work, but here is a link to remove it from the zipped ROM via 7-Zip file manage(free) that Scott put together. Check it out as you can remove things you don't want and add things to the ROM zip to your liking. He also updates on what to leave alone. http://www.scottsroms.com/showthrea...od-CleanROM-before-installing-v1-0-10-12-2011
Completely removing the stock mms.apk will totally break all messaging function.
Damn, I guess I will freeze it and see what it does, thanks guys

When you say will do the same thing as well are you talking about removing from the app drawer or killing all messaging functionality?

Have you tried to send an MMS? The last time I did this back on the OG Evo, SMS worked fine, but MMS wouldn't work anymore.

iOS Bubbles Stock ICS [THEME]

Not too much theming, I've looked everywhere to change my bubble colors and most zips I've found weren't working. Here's one made from stock messenger app on the Galaxy Note. http://db.tt/Ao40ZDFN
REMEMBER: Make a .bak of your old MMS.apk push it to /system/app and in case it doesn't work just revert to your old one, if it fails to work PM me your MMS.APK and I will make a new one for your specific ROM.
Don't forget to hit the thanks!

Pushed the app and got it to load up this time... I had to remove the mms.odex file from the app folder. Thank you for your time and efforts on this.
Everything was looking okay, UNITL I composed a new message and selected a recipient. I get a crash every time.
Anyone else had a problem with this?

Hmm.. I don't seem to have a problem at all, I didn't delete the mms.odex file just pushed like a regular app. If you could send me your original apk I can look into it just PM me with a link and I'll get right on to it. I'm barely starting this whole theming process so I'll find a solution.

Mms background

So I'm running the stock rooted deodexed and slightly modded rom from MCD and when I go into mms app and go to change the background all that comes up is the option to use an HTC one. It worked fine on stock. Am I missing something?

It's a glitch somewhere, sometimes it's there sometimes it's not. just do your normal thing and it will suddenly show up.
There have been several threads on this. My first dna it was there, returned for warranty issues and was given another new one and it was not there. Had ukb rom and it was there. changed to venom rom and gone again. frustrating.

To get the Gallery option to appear, add a folder named .data in /sdcard. Not sure why, but this fixed my this issue on my DNA. I found the fix somewhere on android central.
Hope this helps.

[App] AOSP Browser 4.2.2 [7/22] for TW w/ Bookmark + Flash support

I saw this being requested so thought id help. Freeze or rename the tw browser with .bak. Then flash in recovery wipe cache/dalvik, and then reboot. Obviously, back up your stuff first.
Edit: You can add the browser to Multi-Window manually by going to /system/csc/feature.xml and edit the multi window settings to include com.android.browser. Listed below is how the end of mine appears, if you don't have the multi window string you can just add it before the end as I did.
<!-- Multi Window -->
<CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>com.android.browser<CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeature>
Flash content may not work if you don't have the latest version, you can find it here just download the latest version under 'Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives' and install
Finally someone has done it, great job man!!! Many thanks!

"finally a browser that supports flash player on the s4 with out using a third party one. Great work man I already flashed it works just fine"
On RLS6 as well, and it works great. Just selected as the default browser (didn't rename tw browser) and removed from the drawer, without issue/conflict so far. Love this option, great work!

Just a small visual glitch I found. When I click the menu button while the app is running the option for searching on the page reads as "No SIM card in phone."
Using the option runs displays the search box and it works normally.

Does anyone know if there's a way to get the quick controls in Labs to be more responsive. It's as if the pixel activation width is set extremely thin. Could be due in part to our screens resolution I suppose and more pixels being in less space. Thanks for the mod, op.

I just got the java text readable but I havent had the chance to go through it yet because currently im frustrated with looking through the note 2, gs3, and gs4 keyboard. Its like Samsung keeps downgrading their keyboard. Anyways, Ill upload the latest browser build though to see if that might help.

Thanks, and yes you're absolutely right, sorry, I should probably have mentioned that in the OP. The reason I requested everyone rename/freeze the touchwiz browser was a precaution. If you look at the updater script it contains the following code within it:
"delete("/system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk");
unmount("/system");"
And if you look in the zip, you'll notice theres 3 system apps being pushed to /system/app
1. ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk
2. BrowserProviderProxy.apk.bak
3. Browser.apk
So the renaming part is already done, if anyone wants to re-enable the tw browser to use alongside of the Aosp Browser, the only steps required are either to unfreeze the tw browser or renaming the .bak back to .apk at the end of the file.

Okay, I took off my my TPU case and was able to get the quick control menus to pop-up, but it's still very difficult for me to trigger. Is there a way to build in an "activation zone" pixel # setting, like the AOKP browser has? Thanks!!
