[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.

Silly question but do the swype functions work with this? I'm guessing not.

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???

I don't see why it wouldn't

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

(req) nexus s aosp launcher

I've asked a few times in the general forum unsuccesfully to see if anyone knew how to fix this, and just bumped my last unsucessful attempt, but I thought maybe this would get me a little farther. Can someone maybe try to get the original nexus s launcher to work right for eg22. I was using ai3 for a while and I knew that ef02 was having the same issue but marcusant was able to get the nexus s launcher working. Basically when you try to install it/including the versions from the market , they will display strangely and fuzzy like they are in the wrong resolution or something. If anyone would take a crack at it though, that'd be awesome.
Last minute notes too, I've tried pulling the launcher2.apk from marcusants rom and put it in bonzai/stock eg22 and that didn't seem to do the trick either.

There is a 7 homescreen gingerbread launcher in this section somewhere. If I can find I'll link you to it.

Marcussants is themed though correct? Perhaps replacing the images within the launcher with high quality images is what should be attempted.

Grand Theft Auto III HiRes patch GN V0.2

I uploaded a new gta3.set with best improvement.
V 0.2
- Breaks and Debris
- Accelerate/brake and steer at the same time (tks mixedlemon)
V 0.1
- Car lights, Lamps and Flashing Lights
- Detailed Shadows, Traffic Lights, Blood
- Hi Resolution
just download attached zip file (gta3HiResV02.zip), and copy extracted file (gta3.set) to: /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3
- backup existing one
Basically it is .set file specific for Galaxy Nexus

Thanks man, not only does this look better but on my Nexus it also fixed the touchscreen issue of not being able to accelerate/brake and steer at the same time.

Do you think it's possible to get a fix so that we can jump out of moving cars? There's a bug that doesn't allow you to get out of a car until it has come to a complete stop? How else are we supposed to ghost ride cars into crowds of people lol?

Sorry guys, but it's been awhile since I played these games on my PS2. I guess I got mixed up. I think the ability to jump out of moving vehicles happened in GTA4?

I'm starting to think that it may have only been the international versions that had compatibility restrictions, even when it wasn't playable on the Nexus and specifically stated "Coming soon for the Galaxy Nexus" I was always able to find it in my market and buy it from my CDMA Galaxy Nexus on Verizon.
This is just my best guess based on not reading anything, so if anyone else knows more about the subject please correct me.
Have you tried using Market Enabler?
Back during the $0.10 sales I had to edit the build.prop files on my HTC Rezound to make it think it was a Nexus S in order to buy the Gameloft games. Perhaps you'd be able to change it to identify your device as a Rezound or some other phone on the supported devices list?

I'm not seeing a gta.set file... should I just place this one in there? or am I missing somethin?
edit: Nevermind, there was no .set file in there to backup, but dropping this in there actually made a huuuuge difference. Thanks alot.

So this will not work on Galaxy Note :?

I had this problem too at first. There's a number of different versions out, being in Australia I'm pretty sure we would've had a censored version. Try going to https://market.android.com/developer?pub=Rockstar+Games,+Inc. and see what shows up. I used to be able to see 3 different versions but only one was installable, though they must have updated it recently because now the other versions are hidden from me.

[REQ] Photowall from the Galaxy Note

I have no idea how one would edit the APK to work, but I'm wondering if someone could patch this to work on the Galaxy S2, I fell in love with it on my Note

I've tried decompiling the APK to see what I can gather from it. At least based on what I'm understanding, I don't think the "primary" software is the photowall.apk itself at all. It appears to just be the setting screen, and configuration related things.
Perhaps someone with more knowledge could help? It might be embedded within Touchwiz itself though, which would suck, but ah well.

Oddly enough, I was going to close the thread, it wouldn't load in Gingerbread, or LPQ, However, on the new build of LP2 ICS, it loads without a hitch, so I don't need anyone to fiddle with it Thanks for your effort!

Don't mind me, just informing you that Photo Wall.apk from the SGS3 works just fine by installing it.
I must say that it is quite laggy, but I'm pretty sure it's the phone itself not having enough memory.
EDIT: You can't choose your own gallery, just tried it. It switches back to the default screens you get with the app itself.

Issues with FIFA and other large file games?

So I am trying to download FIFA 12 (my favorite game on Android), and the additional files download keeps stopping at 50% (in this case, 1595MB). Is there any way to push these additional files on there? Is anyone else having this problem? Will be such a bummer if I can't play my favorite game on here. Thanks in advance!

I thank you for pointing this one out: I can see that I am not the only one having this problem.
My issue is identical to yours: installation stuck at 50%, error message "please quit the app and try again", start back from 580MB and sticking back to 595.
I suggest you to contact directly EA (which still has to answer me). The more we are, the sooner they are likely to intervene.

here too....

EA hasn't replied to me yet either y'all. I tried pushing files from the backup I made on my GNex (I know it shouldn't work, but I had to try something!) and yeah, it didn't work. I hope they fix this :/

I'm still awaiting a reply from them.

Just saw a video of this game working on a Nexus 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i__o8E6fCoA

I'll give it another try asap, then. Thanks for the heads up

I have the same issue stuck at 595 MB.

Yes, the version has not changed, if anyone can install this game, please report. All the others, send messages to EA please!

I've heard of similar issues on the Galaxy Nexus and have had this ZIP saved which was intended to fix it.
It might instead eat your device whole (though I doubt it), but try if you want.

Unfortunately, I'm not rooted (nor I plan to), but this might help somebody else

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but for the sake of you saying it might eat my device whole, do I flash this ZIP via CWM and then try and download the game again?
If so, I will make a nandroid backup and give this a shot. Thanks!

I have no idea, I'm just taking a shot in the dark.
It's just a binary program in /system/bin, but I didn't want to make anyone think I knew what I was doing.

I have just received a first answer from EA, in which they basically ask for the same information I have given in the first message. I wonder if they take the time to read what we write them...
I'll report back for further developments, everyone else with the same problem, please contact EA as well!

Looks like they took it off our market as not compatible. Hopefully this is temporary so they can fix it. I paid for this app!

I can see it here in the market in France.

Same issue here
Hopefully EA sort this issue out..

As promised, update: they have forwarded the bug alert to the dev team, which will start working on it "as soon as possible".
Of course they weren't able to give me an ETA, so I suppose that all we can do is sit and wait.
Oh, and keep sending them bug alerts related to this issue, for all those that haven't done it yet. The more we are, the harder the pressure they will have, the quicker they will sort this out.

EA can't even get there console games fixed never mind the mobile platform games its a shambles
