You know sense 3.0 mms app better than 2.x. Is there any way to install it on stock rom without flashing a custom rom?
You will need to have ADB installed on your computer.
If you don't already, look for a guide. I recommend you install it like this. "C:/Android"
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled.
Place the file I provided into the folder with ADB in it.
Start ADB using the path you used to install it.
Use this code.
Code:
adb remount
adb push Mms.apk /system/app/Mms.apk
That should work for you.

nope you dont need, with a root enabled file explorer go to /system/app and delete mms.odex, if it doesnt work go to recovery and wipe dalvik, if it also doesnt work, i attached odexed version of mms.apk, extract my attached file into your sd card, copy them to /system/app and set permissions to -rw -r -r, and it should work.
question
is there a way to get the sense 3.0 mms app on CM7 by any chance?

will this replace stock mms? i am missing part of it and having a lot of probs with mms can send but not receive on my rooted but still factory rom wildfire s
If on a deodexed rom then replace sense 2.1 mms app with sense 3.0 mms app. Set permissions r-w-rr or 644. Perform a reboot for changes to take place.
If on an odexed rom delete both Mms.apk and Mms.odex. Add the new Mms.apk and set permissions. Perform a reboot for changes to take place.

That's perfectly fine. I was green too. In certain areas I'm still green. Just delete Mms.odex. Replace Mms.apk with sense 3.0 one. Set permissions and reboot.

Root explorer
Copy the file over to system/apps and make the permissions the same as the rest of the folder.
If it asked to overwrite just hit yes.

You need to place the apk on the root of your sdcard, then open root explorer, enable r/w mode, navigate to sdcard, copy the apk, then get into the system/app folder, then paste.

What steps are you doing? I can't test the file because I don't have an evo at the moment.
I put it at the root of my SD card and then I copy and pasted it to /system/app and then I tried to install it. Could you explain to me what parsing is?
I also mounted r/w
Well the parsing error is cuz its having trouble reading the file.
So does that mean the file is corrupt?
Its possible, I would try re-downloading it.

The problem is because you're trying to install it. You don't install system apps. You just copy and paste it to the /system/app folder. THen make sure your permissions are set correctly, by long pressing on the Music.apk, and selecting permissions. Then be sure that user: read/write are both checked. After that, reboot. That's it. You don't click on 'install'. Copy, paste, check permissions, reboot.
or of course
adb remount
adb push Music.apk /system/app
adb reboot
I just tried all of that and it isnt installed after I reboot.

I just downloaded the Music.apk that I attatched, and can't get it to install. I'm on a Sense rom at the moment, and have never tried installing the Gingerbread Music.apk on a Sense rom, and doubt/not sure that it would even work to begin with. Either that, or maybe there are other files that need to go with it? Any other music player I've installed (HTC music player, MIUI player, and Honeycomb player) has no other necessary files, and you just push the .apk to /system/app and all is good. This one seems different, or it just doesn't work on Sense roms. I'm not sure. I tried the Music.apk from Evervolv too, but that wouldn't work either.
OP, what Rom is it that you're on? Are you currently on a Gingerbread rom? If so, just wipe cache, and dalvik cache, then re flash the ROM, as drmac suggested before. That will give you back all of the apps that came with the rom. If you are indeed on a Gingerbread ROM, you'll get the player you're after back. If you're not on a Gingerbread ROM, I'm not sure that the 2.3GB player will work on it to begin with.
I have just installed the Pays-ROM Defy v6.0 Froyo with Ginger feeling in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943258.
I don't want to use the mms.apk(I cann't remember its name accurately) and delete it, but now I donn't have a text messaging app. So could you please tell me how to recovery it?
Thanks a lot!
BTW, I cann't find a file manager in the ROM.
if you deleted it, youll have to get it from someone else, or you could do a nandroid backup, re install pays ROM and copy the app to your memory card using root explorer or similar, then restore your old backup and install the apk from your memory card

I have got the app folder from CG39.smg, but I don't know which app is for the Text Messagings.
I tried copy Conversations.apk and Conversations.odex to "SystemAppBackup" folder (I have SystemApp Remover installed), and then used SystemApp Remover' recovery function but it didn't work.
Try with Messaging.apk and Messaging.odex. (you can copy those files in your /system/app folder also using adb if you have Android SDK installed on your computer)
Currently I am at work and I don't have the usb cable with me, but when I'll get home I'll send you those files (if you don't get them by then)
Im pretty sure the app needed for sending sms' and settings is something like mms.apk, ill have a look in my system folder for ya
EDIT: yeah im pretty sure its mms.apk, id post mine up for you, but im on cyanogen so itd be a different app.

I tried in this way but the yaffs explorer I used cann't access the root under the Pays-ROM Defy v6.0, which works well under other stock rom. And before I found Root Explorer I have flashed another stock rom because I couldn't wait to stay with a rom cann't send and receive text message. Maybe the mms.apk is also OK.
Sorry for my poor English.
Hi everyone
Can anyone upload stock .apk file of camera from (CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-RC1 Android 2.3.7 - by Grif ), because I delete this app, and I don't have a copy of this.
If you downloaded the flashzip, just look for it inside and extract it.
OK, I got this.
But, when I try install it, it shows me "Application is not installed"
Any idea ??
Move the apk file into /system/app set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot. Now it should work again.

When you reboot, take a stop at recovery mode and clear dalvik cache and then fully reboot.

So, I'm trying to customize my camera icon through the res and ect.. I got one of the apks to flash but, then I noticed it was very jagged and not clean at all so I decided to fix it up and now I can't get it to flash. When I do flash it the icon disappears and there is no camera app to be found. I have a feeling that my sizes or resolution of the picture of the (not working icon) are off or something. I will attach the not working and working camera apk below. If someone could tell me where I went wrong I would be very thankful.

I believe it is considering the file on the side of it is .odex. I apologize for not being the most knowledgeable on the subject. Would I deodex it in a kitchen? Like a rom kitchen of course.
I'm confused why one apk worked and the other didn't though?
EDIT: How would I go about deodexing??? I've been researching and tried using baksmali but, I keep getting error messages. I'm pretty lost right now.
Not really sure as to why it would just disappear like that if you only modified some images in the res folder... Did you mess with baksmali ? Possibly modifying something in there would cause it to dissapear.
As for deodex, get dsixdas kitchen, set it up, then just making a working folder out of the Rom you want to modify. After that's done, go to advanced options and select deodex a file or something. It should give you the option of the whole Rom or just a single apk. It's the long way, but its easier than baksmali, imo.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
I tried baksmali I'm not completely sure if I did it right but it gave me an out folder and then I used smali to make it into a classes.dex I'm not really sure what to do with that file. I assume you're supposed to zip it with the apk...but, when I do that I get a parse error.
My process for changing the images in res is I decompile the apk with apktool. I then go into the res folder switch out the ic launcher icon for the one I made. I then rebuild the apk with apk tool. From there I'm not sure if you're supposed to flash it in a zip or I can just adb push it....

You need to take META-INF folder, and maybe the Manifest.xml from the original apk and place it in your modified one. Then push via adb or move to system with a root file manager.
Also fix permission, 644 (rw-r-r)

If you use a root file manager (es explorer etc)

If you're using adb:

Big thank you to both of you! Especially bennyboy78 I deodexed the apk in the rom kitchen like he said and just threw my customized icon in the apk and it worked! Thank you so much!

Yeah. Same problem. Tried Auto-Sign and everything
the most important is the Meta-Inf folder.
this contains the scripts that the recovery runs, and reads how to install the files, set permissions, symlinking etc..
you can take the whole Meta-inf folder from an existing ROM for gio, and move it to a new map.
folders should look like the following
META-INF > google > android > updaterscript and updatebinary
you need to edit the updater script. remove ALL lines except
mount /system ext4 ....mount
Package_extract(system) /system/
System folder > App folder > your apk you want to have in your rom
now .zip these files, winrar or 7zip doesn't care, as long as it is .zip and not .7zip or .rar you're fine.
flash it, and just to be sure you might want to mount system manually before flashing.
