so Facebook updated their Android app. When i try to update, installation was unsuccessful.
Having had to deal with this before....i backup'd w/ TB, uninstalled, restarted, and trying to update again. Same issue (installation was unsuccessful). Now, TB won't let me restore my backup for some reason
Has anyone else experienced this yet or know how to fix it??
Worst case, could someone upload the 1.4 .apk for me?
Thanks guys.

Some ROMs will not allow the update...for instance I'm running Ultimate Droid and launcher pro fails for done reason.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
*Fixed*
I had to uninstall w/ TB and Reboot. Clear cache/data from market (restart) in order to install.
Then had to fix permissions with rom manager in order to run the app.
Seems like quite a hassle...wonder if anyone else is going through troubles

Market told me there was an update available, I went in and did the manual update and it d/l and installed with no problem. See device info below. We finally get to catch up with the iPhone zombies with "Places"....cant say that I missed it too much.
I'm running Uncommon Sense and I can't update to FB 1.4.0 either. It just says installation unsuccessful. If anyone finds a solution please post.

after it fails in the market, go to astro sdcard/download and instal from there. Thats what i do with all the fail installs. Always works.
Ugh I'm on uncommon sense to, no fix yet guys?
If your facebook apk is in the system/app directory, you may need to manually delete the apk (use Root Explorer), reboot, then try installing Facebook from the market.
(This worked for me with Uncommon Sense)

(BackStory)
This is how I installed the Vanilla Mms App on my G2 Running Desire Z ROM. No risk if you back up your ROM using ROM Manger,
there are many guides on how to do this.
THIS WORKS ON ANY ROM
Hey guys! I was just looking at the "HTC Sense" Messaging App for the Desire Z ROM and basically I noticed.. it sucks..
Its really bulky and some parts of it don't fit on the screen... (Although the Desire Z ROM Is the GREATEST!)
I wondered if it was possible to extract the "Vanilla" Mms.apk and install it on the Desire Z ROM... So I booted up Vanilla on my G2 and did the work.
This IS possbile! And It works GREAT!
Apps Needed:
Mms.apk (Download Link below)
Android Mate/Root Explorer/File Manager/Linda Explorer, (Pick your Favorite)
Terminal Emulator, you can alternatively use adb shell
Obviously, a rooted phone
Installation: (Fool Proof)
Download my Link Down there, Mms.apk
Plug your phone into the computer and tranfer the file on the root of your SD card
You will now be removing your Mms.apk app from your ROM; Back up if you think you're gonna mess up;
Preform A Nandroid backup using ROM MANAGER, there are many guides on doing so, find them.
Go into Terminal Emulator and type in the following:
**note in some ROMs it will be called "com.android.mms.apk" so check what the name is before you type that in**
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
rm /system/app/Mms.apk (or com.android.mms.apk)
If your Text messaging app is running, it probably will force close.
After uninstalling, reboot, if F/C occurs, do a simple battery pull.
When your device reboots, it should no longer have the "Messaging" app installed!
Through your favorite file manager, move "Mms.apk" to /system/app/
Now, go through the installing procedure like you would any app.
It should now be installed, reboot the phone, CONGRATULATIONS
Taddaa!! The next step is to enjoy your new Vanilla Mms on Htc Sense (or any rom)
You may tweek the app how you want; change the color through settings by pressing menu on the Messaging app.. etc..
Disclaimer, I am not the person who hurt your phone if you mess up, you are. Do a back up, nothing can be harmed unless you delete other files besides the Mms.apk.
This Mission was success!
The APK File that is attached IS Working as of NOVEMBER 21 2010; It has been fixed!!
***ATTENTION: THANK YOU TO WHEELIEST FOR GETING A BETTER APK***
Ignore every comment that says Force/Closed, the APK Attached has been fixed and works perfectly!
Nov/20 WORKING! Good to go!
This works Seamlessly! Everything works and It looks perfect!
*Don't Forget To Do A Battery Pull after Uninstalling and After Installing The MMS.APK
Awesome...thanks so much!!
Keeps forcing closed... had to restore backup..

try what OP stated?
It Force Closed my Messaging App. (If It doesn't, even better)
After Un-Installing, do a simple battery pull and reboot your phone.
When your phone starts, the Messaging app should no longer be there. Good.

followed directions and installed, force closes right after i send a msg. did this install right after a fresh rom install

the Vnilla Mms.apk keeps force closing is what he means
are you suppose to move the Vanilla Mms.apk into system/app then find it / install it either via root explorer or ADB?
Not Working?
Hey Guys! Sorry its not working for you I uninstalled it to see if it was tainted, but I can install it and send/receive messages perfectly.
As far as I know, there are no changed settings on my phone. Sorry. I don't know what can be done... Everything I did was right in the directions. Try contacting a more experienced person to this Thread to see if they know whats going on.
Sorry Again..
When you go to install the mms.apk it says that its version 2.1 android. That might be the problem.
works great
thanks alot
If you just place the mms.apk in the system/app/ folder it will work with no problems.
oh, thats right, my version is 2.2 on vanilla rom.
Working?

Hey, UnSungHERO, are you saying it works with MY Mms.apk and with my method?
I already have it, but can you clarify for my and all of us on how to do it?
Thanks. Did you delete the originally Mms.apk file that came with the phone? Or did you place it in the folder and overwrite it?
Does it recieve/send Sms/Mms successfully?
i tried it as it was instructed. Mms.apk installed and worked but would force close after sending and receiving texts. I deleted that apk pulled the MMS.apk from CM and that works fine. Give it a try....more options to boot
Hah, the messaging app is one of the things that I didn't like about the DesireZ Sense ROM. Oh well, I'm not happily running CM! Glad there is a way around it though, thanks for posting!
Nice that was one of the things I disliked about sense. Can this be done with the dialer/contacts

Sorry for the vague post. But yes, I was referring to your method. You should definitely delete the stock sense mms.apk beforehand. I actually haven't sent any messages since replacing the apk. I just tested it and found that the app force closes when I attempt to send messages. SMS messages are sending still with the FC and MMS are not. I'm going to try the CyanogenMod mms.apk since it was mentioned.

Hello guys....
I've accidentally backuped and removed my stock ClockPackage.apk from my i8150...
I've tried to restore by the same app, but did not working.
I've also tried to copy back the original Apk (i've it in backup folder of Rom Toolbox), tried to install...but still nothing.
The odex file it is also still there...
So, for now i've just installed an alternative clock/alarm from market, and it is working (but have Ads!), but...there is a method to have back Clock app in app drawer?
PS:
And, pls... do not say "have you a nandroid backup"?
Yes, i Have, but i just want to know if there is a method to restore the app in few steps
[SOLVED]
Ok... solved, also if i do not know exactly how
For future references...
I had already bring the apk back to system/app, where is located also the odex file.
Nothing was happened, also after restart...
Then, i tried to install the clockpackage.apk from the AOSP gingerbread, and it gave me the same error (App not installed).
But, like in a miracle, after this, app is back to the app drawer
Happy ending!
have you change the permission when you push the apk in system/app ?
just want to ask

Great thread spino1970, mostly because I made the same mistake you did, lol...
Now I really need your help... Could you kindly attach the ClockPackage.apk and the odex file in this thread so that I can use it too??? Thanks a lot man!!! I was trying to get rid of those useless widgets and made a mistake...
[Update]
I managed to get the ClockPackage.apk and the ClockPackage.odex from another device (running on 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.6) and now I get the following error while trying to install the apk:
"Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package"
Does anybody know what to do?
I'm looking to edit the stock MMS.apk, and replace the green smileys with the real emoji that are supposed to be used.
I've tried editing the apk through apkmanager and apktool, both on a PC and mac, with no success, so I'm asking someone to do this task for me.
I have already found the correct emoji.png files, and I've put them into a folder which I am going to attach to this post. All I need [you] to do is put them into /res/drawable-xhdpi through reengineering (apkmanager/apktool)
Thanks to anyone who can do this! (I'm on the 10/5 nightly of CM10 w/ franco.kernel if that makes a difference)

Not sure which version of the phone you have but this MMS has the emoji support http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745830 if you have the GSM model like me you can use the ICS version of his app (unfortunately I couldn't seem to find it just now) I believe there is a stock version of the ICS mms but I won't swear on it. The mms.apk doesn't replace the green androids that you would normally make it gives you the emoji's separatly. Even has a quick support button to get to them fast. Hope this helps you
I found this thread googling for the exact same thing. I can't stand the green emoji and after reading a few threads I finally decided to just try doing it myself. Turns out it was incredibly easy. Here is the latest mms (11/10) pulled from justunbean's inverted apps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797292) with the hideous green emoji replaced with the stock iphone-ish ones. Here is the apk and also a cwm flashable zip of it.
You shouldn't need to use apk manager or apk tool for images just open the apk put the images where they go and make sure they are named correctly.

Wow. Very nice. But I really hate the inverted MMS (to each his own), and you said it was very simple to do, but I spent 1-2 hours on it and could not get it to work properly, so do you think you could do the same with the stock MMS.
MMS.apk attached, from the CM10 nightly that I'm running (11/5 I believe)

Here you go..takes about 3 seconds now that I figured out what to do. For anyone curious you just right click the .apk and open it with 7zip, browse to \res\drawable-xhdpi\ and select all of the files that start with emoji_ and delete them then just drag the ones you want in. The ones I used were from an older apk so all the names were the same, just extract the good ones and drop them into the apk with 7zip.

Hmm.. I seem to be having trouble. I've tried replacing my MMS.apk in system/app with both of the .apk files you have posted, but both times, the MMS.apk app disappears, and when I click on it to attempt to install it, I get an error with parsing the package.
Also, I tried flashing your invertedmms.zip, which didn't work and I also used an empty flashable with the non-inverted themed apk file you posted, which also didn't work. I'm going to play around with it a little more to try and find something that does work.
EDIT: I finally got it to work, just had to sign the apk.
***Unfortunately, the apk you had uploaded the 2nd time was actually the same one you uploaded the first time... The inverted one...***

You can't simply install system apps. Try placing it in system/app, making sure it's named correctly (and that the old one is named something different or deleted), setting permissions to rw-r-r, and rebooting. If that doesn't work, there's probably some ROM incompatibility.

Not sure how mine worked then.
What my process was:
1. Download nightly build of CM10 (same version as one running on my phone)
2. Extract .zip file of CM10 rom, and find MMS.apk
3. Using APK Manager, extract apk file.
4. Replace emoji files in drawable-xhdpi as needed.
5. Zip apk using apk manager (now have unsigned-mms.apk)
6. Using this tool I signed the apk file.
7. Use bluetooth and send "unsigned-mms-signed.apk" to phone.
8. Install app from solid explorer.
9. Insert emojis as needed.

Yup. So I found that rebooting took it away, so I just took my apk that I found that was working after an install and dragged it into /system/app and renamed it to mms.apk
Is anyone interested in me making this an (un)official release in themes&apps?

I'm not sure how I would do this, because I think you need to add some things to the arrays.xml, because when I looked there the code had something along the lines that was
If character=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, then emoji=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
or something like that
I'm not sure where I would find those values for the iOS6 emoji, but if someone knows how to do this, I will gladly go through the handcent emoji extension and find all the new iOS6 emoji for you and give them to you in a .zip.
I'm another dude that hates those green little creatures...I wanted some normal smileys , the basic ones not the extra emojis, and none of the apk in this thread did it for me...so I made one: it is stock with the green smileys replaced with the HTC ones ,the ones used in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40647802#post40647802 .

when will people realize that MMS and phone.APK are NOT missing from the nexus 7 or nexus 7 LTE models merely hidden due to framework.res configuration settings.
it is and never will be as simple as just installing phone.apk
if you try to install it you will just get a message that says it already exists do you want to install anyways and even then you still wont se it visible in your app drawer.

Yes and no... I am not sure framework.res is the only thing holding us back from having them functional
Anyway what is for sure is that installing MMS.apk does allow you to see the app in your drawer and send txt (Granted because of framework.res we don't get to send/receive MMS, only SMS)
