[App Request] AOSP MMS for KitKat TouchWiz - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I apologize if this has already been solved but everything I am finding for replacing Samsung apps with AOSP seem to be limited to 4.3, not 4.4.2. I tried using one of them anyway; SMS worked but MMS caused a FC. Has anyone else managed to replace MMS on NC2 (at least until NC5 is rooted)?

I guess it will come eventually as many have upgraded to NC2 and some NC5...so I shall wait, in embittered impatience.

Try 8sms in the Play Store

Thanks. I have been using Hangouts...which despite Google's shameless plugging of G+ is actually pretty good.

New Google Search Success (Doubtful but why not ask)

From what I have seen on videos and read on various blogs and from people using early AOSP builds, the new Google Search is significantly improved - most importantly in terms of speed, which has always been my biggest gripe with it. So earlier I pretended like I still had a nexus and tried to install the new apk from the factory image over the one we all have, and predictably, it opened but would FC every time I tried to run a search. Anybody else tried? anybody havE any thoughts on how we might be able to make it work?

Hmm this? http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-home-android-4-4-launcher-apk/
Running the new google launcher/search on my s4 now.
Yeah, just need to change language then change back. Also make sure you have the latest Play Services version installed.
See here, fix posted ... http://phandroid.com/2013/10/31/download-and-install-the-new-google-experience-launcher/
Still can't get it to work even with these steps. The launcher works fine, but it is a bit laggy

[Q] 4.3 MJ7 Google Now APK?

Hi all,
I mistakenly installed the 4.4 KitKat Launcher which updated Google Now, and since I don't have root (and one doesn't appear to exist yet), I'm stuck unless I do a full wipe. Anybody know of where to download the stock Google Now apk for 4.3? I'd rather not wipe over this one small issue, but maybe I'll have to. Thanks in advance.
I don't know where on xda to find one, but you can just download 'team blackout updater' from the play store and download one of themed Google now apk's they offer.
But if you're problem with the 4.4 Google now is just the force closing, all you have to do is switch the language to something else then switch back to fix it.

Hah, nevermind. Just discovered the Uninstall Updates button. Reverted back to stock app and it's fine now.
That would also work yes

Anybody got a 4.4.2 voice dialer?

I have been running one of the earliest versions of CM11 by Unjust. So far I've found it to be very stable except for random data drops.
That being said I'm trying Nottas latest PA. I always use the voice dialer to set my APNs for Cspire. This ROM as far as I can tell does not have a way to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm on latest too.
Use nottas settings that have the apn editor included... I didn't notice it missing in this'd version, is in the one right before, and he has had it included since December builds...
http://goo.im/devs/notta/extras/pa_fascinatemtd-APN_EDITOR.zip
The zip would not work for me,,, but i extracted the apk (settings. apk) then copied and put into the priv-app folder,,, overwriting the original,,, fixed permissions,,, tapped to install,,, and it does seem to work and not cause any immediate issues... but make a backup of the original just in case
.
Looks like that may be just what the doctor ordered. Thank you so much!!

Orbot working?

I cant seem to get on tor with this phone no matter how hard I try. Anyone have a solution if u have it working?
Same here. Was fine and now seems not to work properly. Non rooted on current prl & rom

Im rooted and on a stockish rom. There was some kitkat errors they were working through I think. It isnt fixed obviously.
Orbot quit for me after Android 4.1.2. I got no response from app developers and even installing app updates never fixed anything.
Get Anonify from the Play Store and use with the stock browser for anonymous Web browsing. I just tested the app on my N3 running 4.4.2 and I was successfully connected to Tor. I used the Anonify app a lot more on my old S3 though. No issues at all.

GS5 Messages App with Scheduling

I really love the scheduled messaging option that @sbreen94 re-enabled in Hyperdrive rs15, but that disappeared in rs17, so I added it.
This is my first time modding an apk and was it frustrating. Realized that I had to use the stock framework-res and twframework-res, then came the signing an apk. I also had problems using apktool at first. I ended up having to download apktool2, manually configure java through the Linux terminal, and etc. I can now do this in like 2 minutes now, though!
I did take the apk from the Hypderdrive RS17, which is based on KK. I'm not sure if it'll work with all KK or only Hyperdrive. Let me know, although I don't know enough to fix it.
Change the permissions to 0644 and move under /system/app or /system/priv-app/ (depends on the Rom)

I'm running kot49h 4.4.4 rom and I can't get this to work. Hyperdrive is a TW rom and KOT is an aosp rom. Wonder if that makes a difference?

Yeah. I should have put only works with TW based roms. The only reason I'm running TW is because CM11 won't work with SS.

Yeah. Relace the SecMms.apk with this version. When you open the app it asks if you want it to be your default.
I'm not sure what ROM or Android version you're on, but my settings app (just got done modding it too lol) has a Default Messaing App option under More Data Options.
Thanks @Peretsdrue I am going to give this a try......I am on Hyperdrive 17.1 MDK

Alright. Let me know. I installed it on a friend's phone and it worked fine. I'm working on changing the package name so that I can give it to people without having to have a rooted device, but that's a bit confusing because I'm having to decompile the app. If anyone sees this and wants to shoot me a link or what to edit then I'm all up for it. I edited the .yml and the Android Manifest file.

Not decompiling the app. That's not confusing. The confusing part is trying to find everything I need to change and what files to copy over to the original after I change them.
Worked perfectly!!!....only thing is I can't use them both at the same time....I like the privacy box in handcent and all the other features in your mod....can't have everything though lol

Just tried it on the new stock NK1 update. and I got get force closes...any chance of getting it to work for the new stock update for those of us still on MDK and looking to stay stock
I'll see what I can do. I'm running the GPE on my phone right now, but I'll try. It'll be a few days, though.

All I did was enable the scheduled messaging. Everything else was by the creator of the ROM.
