Is it possible to push the aosp mms.apk to system, fix permissions, and then delete the Sense messaging apk. I won't to replace the Sense sms with aosp, which I have from the play edition roms. This was possible on my old Galaxy S3. Anybody know?
I can confirm this is possible. I pulled the aosp messaging apk which is named Mms.apk out of a GPE rom. The apk is located in system/priv-app/. I copied the stock messaging app and placed it on my external card as a backup. I then deleted the stock messaging app which is found in system/priv-app. I ut the aosp in that directory and changed permissions to Owner - R/W, Group - R, Others - R, and then installed it.

Kitkat has a built in feature to allow you to set a default messaging app just like you can set a default launcher. You can just install the AOSP messaging app and set it as default.

Hello, just got the Thunderbolt coming from Samsung Vibrant. I've rooted and flashed deodexed stock rom, etc.
I want to install the AOSP File Manager and have placed the apk in System/App. I've checked all the permissions and rebooted multiple times but the app still doesn't show up in the app drawer? This worked on the Vibrant, not sure if something is different here?
Thanks for any help.
Weird but I figured it out. The file was named "File Manager -Copy.apk". For some reason didn't notice it. Deleted -Copy and it works fine.
Hi everybody.
I use paul-xxx 's MiniCM7 Pro - V20-Final and was wondering if it is possible to use the stock 2.1 calendar.
I cannot use android calendar because of the need to sign in in a Google account, as i don't have one and don't want to create one.
I liked the stock apk cause it is simple and just wanna see the date without having to sync with internet.
SEMCCalendar and other calendar associated applications are not working with MiniCM7 Pro...
Thanx in advance

normally what i do is if i want a app from older ROMS i save the apk of that app on to my SDcard and use App installer to install it (normally it works)
if that doesnt work i try copying the .apk file to where the other app is stored
e.g if i want messaging app, i copy it and paste it in system/app/Mms.apk using file managers like root explorer, astro file manager etc...
because theres where the Mms.apk is stored

Yes i understood what you said m8 and have done all those things before but nothing happens.
It seems like it's more complicated, it's like the stock SE calendar apks are not compatible with the rom.
As far as i'm concerned for the stock calendar to work in stock 2.1 rom are required 3 apks placed in system/apps:
-CalendarProvider.apk
-SemcCalendar.apk
-SemcCalendarVanillaApi.apk
I put them in system's apps, i change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and then reboot. The only thing is the calendar's icon that appears but if you press it error appears, meaning the app cannot be run.
i own a sumsung i9001 with cm 10 on it.
my question is it possible to use the miui messaging system in a cayanogenmod rom?
and if it is possible can some one tell me how do i do?
Just grab the apk of the messaging app from miui and put it in /system/app with right permissions (rw-r--r--). Remove the old one (backup first). Reboot. Try. Idk if it will work properly or not. Make a backup of the old messaging apk, so that if it doesn't work u can put it back there with same permissions.
And u have to reboot for the change to apply.
I just upgraded to stock 4.1.2 via kies. Rooted it, and copied the AOSP keyboard to /system/app. However, after making the AOSP keyboard the default, the entire phone freezes, and the keyboard keeps crashing. It's unusable.
After some research, it seems to be a problem with GApps. But I'm not on a custom ROM, my gapps are either from stock rom or from the play store. Is there anyway to get the AOSP keyboard working?

What permissions are you talking about? Could you elaborate?
I've already changed the LatinIME.apk file permissions in /system/app/ to 644 (rw- r-- r--). That worked previously but not this time around ...
Hey everyone!
I just installed eRobot ROM v8.6 (thanks to dev) to my N910C Note4, I just customize it with deleting unnecessary apps in /system/app & /system/priv-app using a script. The ROM works perfect, and I can open any messaging app such as the stock or Textra, but the problem is all of them (whether stock or 3rd Party messaging app) crashes when I try to open any SMS, so I think there is a system app I deleted by mistake that read SMS, but I don't know its name to install it again! so can anyone tell me the dependencies of the messaging app? so I know which system app I deleted it by mistake
Thanks!
Regards,
addas
It would be easier to look at the script and see what it deletes.
