[REQ]AOSP Messaging apk

I change themes quite often, but only one theme that I've come across for the Samsung Epic that uses AOSP messaging as opposed the the default "Samsung messaging" (I guess you could call it), is Engraved Blues. I've used that theme for the longest, mostly because it has AOSP messaging. It comes with WAY more user functionality than the limited "Samsung Messaging." Is there anyone that could put AOSP Messaging into a flashable zip? That way, I can use whatever theme I chose, and still have AOSP Messaging. I would really appreciate it if this could be done!
I'd even be willing to learn how to do it. I usually don't request, and tinker with things on my own, but I'd need some help with this one. If someone wants to walk me through the process, I'd be even more appreciative, because I wouldn't have to ask for these kinds of things!

I don't know what you mean by AOSP messaging but Impaler's transparent MMS are flashable zips. They both look and run very well. Give one of them a try. Just download and flash in CWM.

AOSP messaging is I guess stock Android messaging. At least that's what someone told me a while back. There are noticeable differences. Probably one of the most important is the fact that with default Sammy messaging, when messages come in while I'm roaming, they are 4 hours in advance. For some reason, this isn't the case with AOSP messaging. It's really weird. There are also options for vibration types, and you're also able to change the font size of the messages. None of these options are present in Sammy messaging, AND, there are no chat balloons; just color backgrounds.
The MOST important reason I prefer AOSP is because for whatever reason, I cannot pinpoint, whenever I run a ROM with Samsung's messaging app, the phone tends to randomly restart. Ever since I've been using Engraved Blues with AOSP messaging, the random restarts are nonexistent. No reboots whatsoever! My phone has been super stable with SRF 1.1.1 and Engraved Blues. I don't know why it causes those reboots, and I don't have my messaging set to keep a lot of messages. Maybe 50 at the most.
Impaler's transparent messaging is based off of Samsung's Android messaging app and while it looks awesomely sweet, I've had the same unfortunate reboots as it seems to be based off of Sammy messaging.
EDIT: Ok, just noticed this in his thread.
These apps are the 2.2 MMS app, only about 50 times better than Samsung could have ever made it...

Maybe I should give it a try again? I know when he first started posting the transparent messaging app series, I could've sworn it was simply themed Samsung messaging?

I haven't really had any problems with what you mentioned. I would say give it a try. I think you will be pretty happy. His messaging app is always the first mod I flash after flashing a new ROM or theme. If it doesn't work for you, sorry.

I have that same problem with Swype where when I'm roaming all my messages read 4 hours ahead of time. Gets really bothersome. I can't live without swype anymore though.

Alright, here you go guys. Download the attached and flash it through clockwork and you'll be good to go.

Funny thing is that before I installed the Engraved Blues theme, I thought that the Samsung messaging app was standard Android. If I hadn't come across the theme, I wouldn't have known a thing about AOSP messaging. And what's with that roaming problem? Man, that's so annoying! How'd Samsung let that one out of the gate with that glaring problem???

Would it be safe to remove the old apk from system after flashing this? I may or may not be wrong but I seem to remember that caused problems when receiving pictures and the like.
Of course that could've just been on the moment..

The old apk shouldn't be in the system after you flash it.. If it is yes you can delete it.

From what I was told/read it is a Sprint problem with how their devices communicate with the towers used for roaming. So blame Sprint for the problem

AH, zip must only be edify.
All you have to do is go into that zip, take out the mms.apk, and push it to system/app using root explorer.. I've got a video showing how to do that

Needed - Custom CWM/Gingerbread keyboard

Hi all, I recently flashed my SGS 2 with Angelo ROM but I have noticed over the last couple of days that no ROM has the gingerbread keyboard. I have a .zip file, but the CWM I have is giving me the E: bloody signature verification failed message.
Does anybody here have a custom CWM that I can use to flash it, or an alternate gingerbread keyboard installation type thing?
Also, I wanted to know if anyone could tell me where to store external wallpapers in the root system so the wallpaper pickers find them automatically?

Just install the APK, noCWM needed. You may need to root your phone, not sure because I never tried on stock. if you need root, go there.

You have to set the vibration intensity to normal in settings for vibe to work though.

I literally only just found the bottom of your message (teach me for reading on my phone late at night). I don't have a .apk for it, only a flashable zip file. I'd still like a custom CWM so I can install other zip files too though.
@yamanote, @norpan111 what is the app called in the market, searching "gingerbread keyboard" is not turning it up for me.
EDIT: I found it! All installed although my one is still prettier. Can anyone help me with my CWM/Wallpaper issues?
EDIT AGAIN: Frustrating! My lockscreen has vanished again and the home button on the phone doesn't actually take me to the homescreen anymore. Has anybody had the same problem?

'Keyboard from Android 2.3' by Steven Lin. It's free.
Just wondering, how is yours prettier? Too lazy to install to see

The one I used to have, and -was- able to install on this phone was from here:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/app-14-04-11-new-themed-gingerbread-kyb-fully-working-edited-few-links.689/
in this style:

Argh, I can't use a keyboard that doesn't have a comma on the main text page.
Swiftkey X is the best I've used yet. It would be perfect if it had Swype style functionality as I can't use Swype due the the stupid number placement - calculator style instead of keyboard style.

to be fair, I thought I wasn't going to be able to deal without swype, but someone recommended the Gingerbread Keyboard to me, so I tried it. After some trial and error I couldn't do without it... probably until the next best thing comes along.
I'm a butterfingers, I need something more intelligent than me keeping an eye on what I'm actually typing.

I'm all for people trying to get into the custom rom game, it can bring diversity to the custom rom market. However I would not classify this as "No Bloat" because rmk defined it as "anything you could easily choose to download from the Market yourself, has been removed." Thanks for the contribution!

For me that seems better. As long as there is one person using it, it belongs here IMO. Still would like to see some sort of speed mod though. Maybe borrowing some tweaks from bulletproof or something.

I'd say you'd have to do a bit more than just remove a few apps and media files. You don't really gain anything by that do you? Just a little free space and since the Vision has plenty of that it really isn't an issue. Maybe a few scripts or something would do good? Some roms have adblock scripts and sd-readahead tuning scripts and such installed by default so the average user doesn't need to do anything.
You could change the original MIUI file manager to apooonets modded one which has access to root files and such, though you might want to ask him(/her) first. You can find the xda thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691
Anyways keep on going, I just wanted to share my thoughts.

Droidcell,
I've been thinking about this and came to the conclusion that its just too similar to stock. Miui runs well as it is so you would have to do something crazy to bring people in. Have you thought about stripping it right back to only the core elements:
Phone
SMS
Market
Contacts
Gapps (or just market as the rest can be got from there)
That way it would be proper stripped back. If people want to add a browser or whatever they have the market.
What do you think?

[Q] Note 2 Camera and Gallery

I was wondering if someone could help me out here. I would like to get the Note 2 camera and gallery on my Galaxy s3...i'm running stock 4.1.1 rooted with SuperSU if that helps at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please and thanks in advanced
EDIT: Also, I would like a dark themed AOSP based messenger for texts, but I need to be able to change the size of the font much like in the stock app on TW. Quick reply isn't necessary as I already use SMS Popup. I just want a dark AOSP messenger with resizable font.

Trans AOSP MMS App

This is based off iNate71's Mms at Rootzwiki.It has Quick Message, new message popup window and emoji support. I just redid them to be transparent and black. I also edited all the hard coded colors in layout.xmls and moved them to colors.xml for easy changing.
I couldn't take the white in the default app anymore. This will only look good with a dark wallpaper.
You'll need a root file explorer..I prefer root explorer from the market.
First rename Unimessagebin.apk to apk.bak and then do the same with Unimessagebin.odex.
Now that you have
Unimessagebin.apk.bak and
Unimessagebin.odex.bak
Copy over this Mms-trans.apk or Mms-black.apk and set the correct permissions then reboot.
Viola you now have a transparent or black AOSP MMS app..

so far i find it pretty gorgeous. if u say everything works then i think i just found my text app that i'm gonna be using for the foreseeable future (at least till we can get this bootloader unlocked and see what kinda roms we can get going...even then might sub your's in still haha) i like the icon u used, instead of the flat blue one, kind of a glass look to it, and i like the smiley's it uses (the round ones instead of the droid head ones for my friends that dont have emojis) i appreciate the effort greatly...my only real gripe left with the phone so far is no good ir remote apps...if only logitech would let u put their harmony software on ur phone without their adapters and use it with the IR instead of doing it over bluetooth/wifi to an expensive adapter...quickremote doesnt have as much functionality as i would like (like my harmony but always having to charge it haha)

I don't think MMS works..I can receive fine but mine crashes when trying to send a MMS..
May need to go back to old version.

yeah, ran into the same problem. receives no problem but wont send...still crashes. any idea y it does that?

Not at all..I thought it was because of image size limits but I changed those and it still crashes..
I did find a topic on how to get aosp MMS working on the s4 and there is a chance the method will work for us also but I haven't had time to update.
The old version I have does have working MMS both ways so I will update the apks later today but it doesn't have quick reply.
I'll make an inverted one off that base to you also.
