AOSP/Stock Android Messaging App on Evo - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way to install the stock Android messaging app on an Evo running the stock 2.2 OTA ROM?
I am waiting for root so I can remove this Sense UI toilet, but in the interim, I'm stuck with this horrific Sense messaging app, which has the infamous timestamp bug. I know I can use HandCent, but I don't like it.
I was wondering if I can get the Froyo Messaging.APK and install it on my Evo?
Also, is it possible to do it for contacts and the phone app too?

Unfortunately you cannot replace the app without root. It's a system app that cannot be altered out of the box.

Is there any way to install this if not rooted?
Thanks.

Did you really just ask that directly after the previous post told you you couldn't? How odd.

ok, I could use a little help with this now
I have wiped all data/cache/delvik etc. reloaded the XxXViRuSXxX rom that was just release, was running the prior version before.
when installing this I am no longer able to send MMS messages. This goes for the just release version of this rom and the prior. Any suggestions or help on this would be great, really cant live without being able to send MMS and I much more enjoy this messaging system.

[Q] cant update voicemail

Can't seem to update my voicemail, the icon and notification is annoying. I can clear it but it always comes back got a rooted evo on bakesnacks 1.8. Can anyone help.
are you trying to update to the vvm with the text thing.
Yes, don't really care for the update but but it would be nice, its saying a mandatory update is needed. I'm thinking its a Rom issue

[Q] Install Froyo native contacts.apk

Is there any way to install the Android 2.2 original Dialer and Contacts (like in SDK) instead of Motorola's one?
I tried renaming BlurDialer.apk and BlurContacts.apk before installation, no luck. Also Contacts.apk from Desire ROM or SDK image cannot be installed even with adb install or update.zip from recovery.
I realize that these apps are highly integrated into system, but I'm sure there must be some way... And I know that any good 3rd party dialer may suit my needs, but so is the original one.
This is something I really want too. I can't add a contact without a valid account? That's really dumb. This can't be the original Android dialer app, although I've never used another Android phone so I'm not sure. Any ideas?
The reason I wanted to go to the original Android dialer/contacts was because of a bug, not being able to add anything "without an account" which was present in all of the ROMs I tried. I flashed the Chinese 2.2, bricked the phone and was unable to go back, as I guess I was pushed an update OTA that restricted downgrading. Ended up flashing the official leaked T-Mobile Froyo ROM and I can now add contacts.
have you found a way to install contacts.apk ?
I would be interested in this, too.

I don't have a problem with the way the facebook looks but I would like to update the app though? Does anyone know if I can just update this like any other apps?

If you're trying to update FB for Android, you'd have to uninstall it first from your phone with Titanium Backup or something similar. You'd lose how it looks though with the update.
EDIT: That is if you're trying to update FB and it is giving you the cannot install message, you'd need to uninstall the original first.
Thanks. I was able to remove uninstall it with Titanium Backup but when I tried installing the facebook app from market it said that it was incompatible. Do I need to install it a different way? Sorry I'm a noob this is like my second custom ROM that I have tried.

After uninstalling, try a reboot of your phone, and then re-installing from the Market.
Thanks a lot. Worked liked a charm.
There are some facebook, gmail, etc. mods in the Themes section and created by Fernando Sor (if not mistaken he did a lot of work, excellent work with bored on IncRom 1.6). Several different screens including transparent. Gingerbread & Froyo versions
I also like IncRom 1.6. Using it with chads kernel (12/23 for sense). Works like a charm

Voicemail on salvage mod help!!!

I flashed salvage mod the other day and the only problem I have is that it does not have visual voicemail. Is there any way I can get the voicemail app from the stock sense rom? If so can anyone post a link to the apk. Thanks.

a way that I was able to get my VVM was by flashing a sense ROM of your choice, downloading Titanium Backup and back up the Sprint VVM - then when you flash any other ROM and re-download Titanium Backup, all you have to do is restore - Hope this helps!

I've never tried using the Sprint VVM app on SalvageMod, but I'm sure it's possible, as the other poster mentioned. If it can work on CM, surely it will also work on Salvage. There may be a specific version you need for it to work, however I'm not sure of that.
I honestly suggest using Google Voice as your voicemail. In my opinion, it's better than the Sprint VVM. There are various reasons why I think it's better, but I at least suggest you give it a shot. If you don't like it, back to sprint VVM for you.
Disable voicemail notification
I'm trying out the SalvageMod 1.3 stable rom on my HTC Evo 4G and it's working great so far. I'm trying to disable the stock voicemail notification but I haven't been able to find a way to do it. I tried the following:
Menu --> Settings --> Call Settings
I didn't find the option to uncheck the voicemail notification. Could it be somewhere else?
Thank you.

Have you installed them like new, or have you restored them? That could be a problem with going from Gingerbread to ICS. Also there is a GPS patch in the development thread. Why don't you give that a go? You might need to reinstall them from scratch again. If that doesn't work with Swype, then they probably haven't updated it to handle 4.0.3. I have the same ROM too. Everything is great, but the gallery and camera fc's and charging is slow as hell and the battery drains quickly.
tried that
i tried to download from the website but it needs you to uninstall swype first. and i can't uninstall cause it's preinstalled. Because im new to this i don't know how or if you can uninstall a preinstalled app.

You would have to use titanium backup or root explorer to erase a system app

Ohhh that's why. Okay... Go into the Play Store and download Titanium Backup. I think you can do this with the free version. Open it and at the top you should see Overview, Backup/Restore, and Schedules. Hit Backup/Restore and scroll down until you see "swype........" Tap it and hit uninstall. After that, try install your new swype.
AWESOME
AWESOME. Thanks guys you were really healpful. I used the titanium backup (free) and was able to uninstall. Finally able to swipe again
So do you guys have any tips on getting my location to lock when using maps. it's not that it's is slow it just doesnt lock me in at all.

I personally prefer Root Uninstaller with my rooted phones to get rid of system apps and bloatware!
