Anyone know where I could find a flashable ZIP for inverted apps that would work on Sonics GS3 ROM? Mainly looking for an inverted app for the MMS app to match his theme?
All the inverted apps so far are for aosp roms. A lot of the apps work on touchwiz, but might take some tweaking to get them to work. I am currently using my own inverted cm9 mms.apk on touchwiz and its working fine. I have attached the apk Im using, you can replace the stock with it using root explorer or something.
many of these can be installed or pushed. Zips may not work due to epic touch scripting

What exact steps should I take to get this on my phone? I went into the system apps folder and only found SecMms.apk. I went ahead and renamed that one to have as my backup in case. I took the file I downloaded from your reply and renamed it to SecMms.apk and set the permissions. I rebooted but now I am not seeing any messaging app in my drawer? I did then try opening the SecMms.apk and installing it and it wont let me. Am I doing something incorrectly?

You need to change permissions on the app to match the other apps in /system/app, then reboot

I did switch the new app to match the other apps in that folder RW-R-R. I am suppose to be renaming your app you attached to SecMms.apk correct? because I dont see a Mms.apk in system/app, just see the SecMms.apk
nevermind i got it man. Thanks again

Just started running bonsai on my epic 4g. I came over from tmobile (vibrant, Teamwhiskey) I've seen some screenies of people running bonsai with Stock/AOSP Mms. I've done some searching but can't find anything. help?
thanks guys
Just replace the Mms.apk with the AOSP mms.apk.
Texted while driving
Think he needs the APK still X.
Here it is if you haven't found it. Make sure to hit the thanks button for that guy that posted it. He's a badass. lol

Oh btw, just replace the existing one in /system/app or push it using ADB.

Thanks for the link, but that one says its the text-about-voicemail mms.apk, is there any way to avoid that? I'm probably splitting hairs here but just curious, lol.
Also, i'm at work (no adb) I couldn't just fire up the apk on my phone, i'd actually have to push it through, right?
The text about vm is not avoidable. I think someone said you can block the 9016:// messages through sprint maybe? im not sure exactly. I use to care at first then i realized I don't really get many VM's. And if you're at work you can just move it into the /system/app folder. You dont have to use adb push. That's just another option.

I tried moving it into the system/app folder and it just gave me a parsing error, can't get it to receive texts. I put the old Mms.apk back in the apps folder and it threw the same error.
*edit*
I re-zip-flashed bonsai and it seemed to repair my texting ability. I tried the process again (replacing Mms.apk), then went into CW Recovery and wiped dalvik, booted and it still is on the samsung themed bubble Mms.apk. For sh*ts and giggles i tried tap-installing the Mms.apk and it wouldn't install, just as i figured. Suggestions?
Yeah tap-installing those system apps doesnt ever work. That's weird that you replaced the file, rebooted, and you were still on the old one. Although, technically there shouldnt be any need to reboot. I've switched out /system/app/Mms.apk and other apks without rebooting before. I do this all the time when theming. /boggle. Sorry, i'm not sure what more suggestions I can make. If you want I can try making it a flashable zip and maybe you can try that?

I'm running bonsai 4.0.1, not sure why it isn't working either. I'm not a dev but i'm no tech slouch myself and I can't figure it out. I'll try it again tonight. Also, teach a man to fish, don't give me the fish. If you happen to have a link for a tutorial to make flashable zips i'm all ears and ready to learn.
p.s. thanks button clicked.
Take a generic working CWM zip that replaces /system/ files. Delete all the crap out of it [dont delete Meta-Inf folder] with winzip, winrar, or 7zip. Drop in /system/app/Mms.apk . Most important thing is to maintain the file structure. As it will use it to push the Mms.apk onto the phone. Thats how i always do it.

I made the flashable zip, no luck. Just a thought-is the lack of the mms.odex an issue? does DeOdexing have something to do with this?
Yes,
I just assummed u were running a de-odexed system.

I installed the stock ICS gallery as I much prefer it over the 3D gallery that comes with the Galaxy S2 and I stupidly deleted the 3D Gallery from my system apps.
I would normally make a back up but I wasn't thinking I would ever need this again, I was wrong. I can no longer have picture frames on my homescreens or set my lock screen wallpaper! I had no idea that all this would be effected.
If someone could help me out with reinstalling it I would be very much grateful. Im running Stock XWLP7
I have a CWM back up but don't want to back up the whole system folder as I have modded other things since such as Framework files.
Can I find the Gallery3D.APK and Gallery3D.odex file and simply copy and paste them back to my system/app folder and change permissions?
Any help would would be much appreciated
Thank you
As long as the pics gallery and the 3d gallery are named differently and u set the permissions correctly you should be able to. I have had both on one from before.

You can extract the apk from the system zip inside the cwm backup file using root explorer...
Thank you for your help guys.
I managed to extract the apk and odex file from Cwm back up, set permissions and it worked
Lesson learnt never delete things if it might interfere with others.
Who'd of thought that removing the gallery would mean I couldn't set lock screen wallpaper!

can u tell me exact location where you find .apk of gallery and odex file.. Coz i have same problem as like u
Another method
-Take the apk from a rom with that gallery included (e.g. villainrom) and install it asyou normally would
-open titanium backup and long tap on the gallery, then select "convert to system app"
-???

I'm working on a themed aosp 4.2 keyboard. It would make my life a whole lot easier if i could just install the keyboard as a regular app, but when i try is won't work. What would you need to edit in a system app so that it will install normally without having to move it to system/app and rebooting
Well if you could explain the error....
this is SPARTAAA

For example, if you were to uninstall say the android keyboard that comes bundled with a rom, then you were to extract the apk, and try and just install it, it won't work. The only way i know of getting it to install is to put it into system/app and reboot. So i'm asking if there is a way to edit system apk's so that you can install them regularly.

What are the permissions to be set at? I pushed this and the stock file manager to system apps, fixed permissions via recovery, but neither work. When I use Root Explorer to check the apks they show different permissions from all the other system apps. MusicPlayer and SecNoteMyFiles show rwxrwxr-x while the other apks show rw-r-r-- I guess I need to manually change them?
EDIT - Actually what happens is they don't show in the app drawer, so I tried to install them from the system app folder, but I keep getting an error "Application not installed".

then reboot the device.

No go for me. They just don't want to work. I don't know why. I was on the stock ROM via ODIN. Everything worked. I pulled five apks from the system app folder. Three of them work, but the MusicPlayer and FileManager don't. I tried them both ways. I left the permissions as is, rebooted, and nothing. I did what you said, and still nothing. Got me. I'm running Jedi Mind Trick JB 3.

Yes. I tried it several times. It just won't show in my apps I guess. Do I set perms before or after pushing to sys/app?

First I want to thank you, and say sorry for making you help me so much, as I'm now realizing it would have worked if I just used your version from the beginning. I've been trying to get the one I pulled from my stock ROM when I was running it. It seems my APK is not the right one. Yours worked the very first time. It's also bigger than mine by about a MB. Where did you pull it from? I pulled mine directly from the system/app folder.
Also since mine didn't work for this, or my File Manager APK, would it be possible for you to share that too? Or tell me where to get it? Thanks again.
Follow the white rabbit....

It's not something you install. It is an apk, but you don't need to install anything in /system/app. You would drop it in, change permissions, and reboot. Try wiping dalvik/cache too.
Is there another MMS apk that is more customizable? And can do quick reply? Im finding they either have one or the other. Either the boring stock bubbles with 4 styles/colors or no quick reply. And I want to stay with the stock messaging app.
