I know there are quite a few similar threads, but since they are all fairly device specific, I though I'd try my luck with a new one.
I have a rooted LG Optimus L1 ii, running the stock 4.1 ROM that came with it, from which I uninstalled the stock messaging app after installing Hangouts. As you might have guessed I was unaware that the stock messaging app contains the basic messaging capabilities and all other apps rely on this, so now I'm trying to somehow regain the ability to send and receive SMS.
I have tried installing Handcent, GoSMS, and an app called "Android 4.1 JB Messaging SMS", which claims to be the stock messaging app for JellyBean, all of it to no avail.
Therefore my question is, on a very fundamental level, what are the parts of the Android OS that are required for SMS and that I evidently destroyed? Can I get "generic" stock versions of the necessary apks or do they have to be specific to my phone model?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

1) It's not easy to decrypt stock LG firmware for that. Would be easier to download a stock based rom and grab it from there.
2) It's not that simple, you have to set permissions for system apps as well.
To OP: Go SMS should work fine. You just need to go into the advance settings and make sure it's checked off to be your standalone messaging system and there is an option to add your own MMS settings, which should be all you need.
Many other texting apps have custom settings for MMS options too. Hello SMS, Go SMS, ChompSMS, Handcent, Textra, Slide Messaging, and Evolve SMS all do if I remember right.
Edit: Sorry, can't read. I thought you were having MMS issues, not SMS. But yea, that's odd. You don't normally need the stock Messaging app anymore to send SMS.
You might have to reinstall your entire OS. Gotta make sure you know what system version you are on as they are slight differences between the carriers and regions the phone was sold from.

Pray tell how you would download the firmware and pull the messaging app from it? It helps to know what that entails before you suggest it. And the OP mentioned he did not delete it till after he installed Hangouts, which is not TOTALLY crazy. Hindsight 20/20, freezing it would have been better, but we're all learning. I typically uninstall the stock messaging app on any phone that I've used and have never had an issue like this.

I ended up going with the first suggestion in this thread and re-installed the original firmware. Slightly annoying, but there was no way around it with other apps and certainly trying to extract just the messaging app out of the stock ROM is more complicated and uncertain than this.

I upgraded to XXLPQ (polish) from XXLPH yesterday.
I'm now seeing duplicate (2, somebody said 3) SMS's sent to a recipient for each one I send.
Received texts aren't duplicated
Only goSMS (or handcent) is set to notify
"stock" SMS app does NOT lead to duplicates
This didn't happen in XXLPH
Wanted to check if anyone else has this issue? Next step is probably clearing SMS data or indeed a full wipe
I got the same situation here. Everything Ok with stock messaging, but with Go Sms Pro, it duplicate sms >.< Looking for solution !!
Yep, same here, though i updated from gingerbread not from an ics beta.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Same here, guess its an App issue then?

It seems more likely to be an issue with the firmware. As it affects all 3rd party SMS apps. Pretty sure there aren't issues on the nexus so possible not a general ics issue?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I have the same issue but I'm also not getting contact pictures in any third party apps.. not in Go contacts, Go SMS, Handcent, Whatsapp.
Tried them all and I get nowt but the stock app gets the pictures perfectly. I've removed and re-added accounts a number of times but giving up now unless someone knows of a way around it.
Same problem
I'm also getting the same problem.
Did a full wipe before installing the ROM
Did not restore settings for go sms, but did restore my messages
I have also tried freezing messaging in titanium backup and disabling messaging in the settings. Neither seams to work.
Has anyone had any success with fixing this?
I am also facing this problem. First i thought this might be due to GO Sms . I uninstalled GO SMS and installed Handcent_SMS .. Same problem there
Sending duplicate messages (GO SMS and Handcent)
Not showing contact pictures in messages list (GO SMS and Handcent)
Anyone got the solution ???
Not sure, seems strange!
Possibly a Firmware issue, maybe a App issue
We shall see what other ssay!
same problem here
report the issue to the devs
did so for handset via email [email protected]
supply phone info
software info
and if possible logcat
Chainfire Kernel not to blame
I still have the problem after reverting to the stock kernel (3.0.15-I900XXLPQ-CL223505 [email protected] #3)
I was hoping that reverting back to stock kernel would fix it, but that is sadly not the case.
At least we know that it's not the chainfire kernel causing it
Same problem here (with Go SMS and browsertexting).
I have emailed both devs, I would suggest everyone sending emails to the app devs to hurry things along
Strikes me as something that has changed within the firmware from Samsung,
Gingerbread Roms (Official and cooked) never caused the issue for me whilst using Go SMS its like something within the ICS firmware is refusing third part apps access to the facebook contact photos.. or maybe its something within the Facebook app that's blocking third party stuff.
default sms app is giving me issues with sms ringtones not working
Hey all,
I updated to I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar
and getting the same, default messaging app is fine, but when I have any other messaging app installed all my messages are being sent twice. I have tested this with Go SMS and Handcent, so to me sounds more like a Samsung problem.
Back to using the default app for the moment so...

No point in doing that. As this happen with all 3rd party messaging app, it is clearly a firmware issue.
It's definitely not an ICS issue otherwise the GNexus would be affected as well.

It's definitely a firmware issue but app devs maybe able to fix or work around the issue faster then it takes Samsung to correct it. Can't hurt
Pretty big bug for Samsung to cause between previous leak and LPQ and not notice
Do we have any contacts at Samsung we can report this to? Maybe someone can contact the great CyanogenMod creator who now works at Samsung to put in a small word lol

Hi everybody!
I'm also affected by the double sms bug.
I also tried to freeze the stock messaging app with titanium, BUT, now, I can't unfreeze it... have someone the same problem? have someone a solution?
titanium tell the app have been unfreeze, but it don't. I've tried several unfreezing app, with no more success.
If there's no solution, can i flash again LPQ with Odin to resolve this mess?
Thank you!
What Rom's are we all using?
Am i right in thinking there is more than one regional variation of ICS out at the moment? Does it happen on all variations or just one?
ROM: WanamLite 9.3
Network: O2-UK
App: GOSMS
Hello xda people.
So I tried installing both the 4.1.2 apk from AOKP rom and the 4.1.1 from some defualt rom. I got the messaging part working with both .apk's. My problem however is that when I replace them every new incoming message gets put into a new thread in the message app.
How would I go about to fix this?
More editing: I wasn't 100% clear, but what I want was the android messaging app, not the samsung one. I also figured it could be that I have to replace the contact.apk as well? Like always, any input would be nice.
I did remove the stock app with titanium backup for those who might be interested in doing the same.
Also: I'm doing this because I want the emoji support in the default app without having to use a custom sms app.
I'm running Omega v31.1 so using the stock 4.1.1 samsung sms app I would presume

Up. Same thing here. I'm running the stock Samsung ROM, and I've tried replacing SecMms.apk with almost all mms.apk's I've found on xda-dev. Always the same issue, although it does happen only for some contacts, not all. For some contacts, it's indeed reusing an old thread, as it's supposed to.

I have the same issue...stock rooted galaxy s3 android 4.1.1
I have tried alla MMS.apk 4.X+ version but everytime the same error
btw gs3 4.1.1 ita
The alleged fix is to add international codes to all your numbers. I tried this using number fixer. It worked for about 5 hours then messages started creating new threads again. Very annoying, ended up going back to GoSMS
I tried this too....everyone have a fix for everything here, so thought that someone fixed this
Same problem here, any suggestions?
same here.what a pity some modded APK are realy nice
possible fix
hi,
try this..
everytime you create a message, use the contact app first to select the recipient from there you click the icon for messaging beside the mobile number. then, when the recipient reply it will thread to you original message.
regards,
Okay, before I get flamed, hear me out. I really have tried everything. I've searched through every forum possible for a solution to this problem. But I just can't fix it!
I want to install the stock Android ICS MMS app because the TouchWiz one looks like ass. I tried to follow all steps as closely as possible, moving things around properly and fixing permissions. But every time, it gets access to all my messages, but when I try to send or view anything, it crashes. Every single time.
Any tips? Thanks so much in advance for your help.
Phone information disclosure:
Running the stock (rooted) UCLE5 4.0.3 update with a modified kernel

Try wiping the data on your phone. There's still the app data from the tw messaging app on the /data/data section in your storage so that could be causing it to crash. If that doesn't work then you're missing some framework files or something Like that which would be way to much work to put in

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, that probably could be what it is. But I haven't done a full wipe in a while and I don't really want to do one. Thanks for the help though! But I don't want the stock messaging app that badly.
Not a full wipe. Manage apps, clear cache on MMS.
I'm not sure you can install an AOSP mms app on a touchwiz Rom. Unless there's an app somewhere in the app and themes section. I was assuming you were just trying to rip it from an aosp based Rom and stick it in this other one.
As stated above, if you are using a touch wiz rom then you CAN NOT use any AOSP based app. You have to be on an AOSP based rom for it to work
First off, im not rooted, and dont want to be. However, the stock Sense messaging app is beginning to get old, and a change is necessary. I dont mean using somthing like handcent or GoSms, can i change the .apk to that off another messaging app? Ex: Xperia messaging app. Im no professional, but do throw the facts at me so i can get an understanding of why or why not, thank you fellow Inc 4g users

apk you want to change is on system partition, to acces system partition you need root, also sometimes those apps are device protected, meaning that they wont work on other devices without editing the app
Hello all!
Since I have a Samsung (Galaxy Core Prime G360V to be specific), I have to suffer from Samsung's crappy stock messaging app, ugly yellow/orange color and all. My desperation to replace this app led me to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-cm-app-installer-t2959922 and the CM App Installer. After playing with the CM messaging app on my sister's phone I have fallen in love with its level of customization and UI in general.
However, it has not been easy to install. For one, the APK wants to install as an update to the stock messenger. Obviously this "update" does not work and I am forced to find another way to use this texting app.
So my question is: How do I install a different messaging app and replace my stock one? Or maybe: How do I install an update APK as a different app entirely?
Thanks for reading, and I would appreciate any input from noobs and the experienced alike

You should be able to to use the Cyanogenmod App Installer to install the messaging app you want selecting the non-root install option. Then you can go into into settings, then find your old messaging app and select clear defaults then when you run the CM messaging app it should ask you if you want to set that as default so select the CM messaging app and always. If the CM messaging app doesn't work I would recommend taking a look at this article here that feature some great messaging apps. If you need any more help just let me know happy to help .

Sounds like a logical solution, but the thing is I can't install the app because it is the same package as the one I currently use (com.android.mms). If I knew how to change the app package name then maybe your suggestions would work. Maybe com.cyanogen.mms?

Sorry for the delayed reply, I would recommend just installing a different messaging app that way it doesn't have the same package name. A lot of newer messaging apps will have very similar features to what you are looking for. Then once it's installed go into settings find old messaging app, clear defaults, start the new messaging app and it should prompt you to always use that as default.

Yes, I am now using Google Messenger. The only problem I really have is that I have to toggle my mobile data to send/receive MMS. The stock messenger never had that problem. I'm going to stick with Google for a while and if the MMS thing becomes a bigger problem I will probably switch back to stock for consistency. I'm getting the Moto G5 Plus soon so it won't matter in a few months anyway
