Is there a way to install only Sense Messaging in a No-Sense Rom?
I would love to install CM's RC2 but I really enjoy the Sense Messaging app (particularly it's ability to rename MMS on the fly if a file by the same name exists).
stock msg app is practically the same thing. also there are numerous other messaging apps such as handcent and chompsms you can try.
if all you're worried about is the app overwrite a previous picture, stop. you know all your incoming mms are saved to your picturemail website = http://pictures.sprintpcs.com - right?
I'm not worried about it overwriting, I want it to rename the second pic a different name on it's own. With the stock app, whenever i saved an MMS, if I already had a pic by the same name, I would have to go into a file explorer and rename it before the stock app would save it.
The sense messaging renames it on its own.
then try handcent or chompsms. most everyone uses handcent.

Can someone port the new Gmail app to make it installable on 2.1? (I'd love to have the ability to select text in Gmail).
P.S. Yes I tried extracting it from a 2.2 ROM and just install it but it won't install
I want it too
also +1
though i'm not sure this can be done easily
You can select text in the default HTC email app. Not the same, but I have used this method a number of time, actually better because it lets you select specific text as well as all text...
Maybe worth trying?
I downloaded the Vanilla lockscreen and some other vanilla apps. One of them must have set the gallery to "vanilla." Now I get this floaty groups of pictures that tilt when I tilt the phone.
How do I get the stock gallery back?
Juat uninstall the other app..

Thanks for the post, but there is no other app to install. The vanilla gallery is the only app (besides Astro file explorer) that will open pictures by default.
If I download another picture viewer from the market, it does not display in the list of potential apps when clicking on a picture file. For example, if I'm in Astro and I click on a jpg, a little window pops up asking me what program to open it with (since I cleared all my defaults). The only options are Astro and Gallery, regardless of what other apps I have installed.
I do not like the "floaty" Vanilla gallery. It looks messy to me.
Does my question make sense?
I'm using Handcent messenger which works well, however I've noticed in my task manager not only does Handcent run but so does the stock SMS/MMS program. Is Handcent simply a shell on top of the stock program? Can I disable or remove the stock program to save the 13 megs it says it's consuming? I'd be open to rooting though I'd prefer to wait till official Froyo.
I hate the stock messaging app. I don't really like Handcent, except that it has the "Iphone" look and makes text conversations go side to side. Is it difficult to drop another messaging app in as the stock messaging app? I would love to see more ROMs(mostly Ava because that is what I generally run) use another messaging app. Thanks for your time.

No its not hard. Thats why the rom devs don't do it. It lets everyone go choose what app they would like. Also some of the sms apps require the original messaging to still be installed... which makes it harder.
I would try go sms. LOTS of themes, and options.

I did not know that some messaging apps require the stock messaging app. I would think that when you have to programs doing the same thing, the phone is not being as efficient as possible. How can someone replace the stock messaging app with a new one? I don't want to use an app in conjunction with another app and disable the original, I want to get rid of the original.
Two ways....
Either break open the rom and delete out the apps you don't want before flashing. Or, install app you want then go in and delete (not disable) the original app using appropriate file manager program.
I've been trying to install apps from CM7 in within Juggs touchwiz rom. MMS/SMS works fine, but I can't seem to get the browser, calendar, contacts, etc... to work.
Am I missing something? or do these need to be properly ported?
I pretty much just yanked files out of Eugenes CM7 alpha kang and pushed them into my /system/app folder. MMS works... but nothing else shows up in my app drawer. I'm interested in:
AOSP Camera
Browser
SMS/MMS
Music
Contacts
Calendar
Phone Dialer
Do these need lib files to function?
