First of all, I assume you are running a Desire Z (hence you post in this forum), but you need to provide more info - is it a rooted/not-rooted device, what is the ROM you are using, have you made any modifications to the message app that you are currently using?
If you are running a not-rooted Desire Z, you should (after a few app data wipes) concider installing another SMS app client (go sms, handcent sms - via market), if those don't work too, then I suggest a factory reset, and that is all you can do I'm affraid.
If you have a rooted device, you may try to substitute the original system mms.apk with another one (renaming the original to .apkbak, just in case, and clear the data of messaging app in the app manager menu one more time). You can find a themed MMS.apk in the Desire Z subforums. If that doesn't help, I myself would try another ROM, but based on the same Android version as current one. If the probel reaccurs (unlikely if you change ROMs), then no idea from now on.

I'm using a rooted desire z and with gen.y b5 rom sense 4a

First of all, try and use another SMS app, like Go SMS from play store or Handcent SMS. If that won't help, try this:
Go to forums - Desire Z apps section, find a modded MMS.apk app (for example a themed one, found in the bottom of this first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683240 ), place the modded MMS.apk on your SD card somewhere.
Download root explorer from (or any root browser file) if you don't have one.
1. Go to root explorer, enter the folder system/app
2. Find MMS.apk, rename it to MMS.apkbak (this will be your backup file of the original MMS app)
3. Go to your SD card directory using root explorer, find the modded MMS.apk
4. Copy the modded MMS.apk to the system/app folder. REMEMBER, if the app is named different than MMS.apk, it will not work, so rename it to MMS.apk.
5. Now set permissions of the new MMS.apk to rw-r-r (root browser has persmissions setting while long-press on an app file)
6.Close root browser, go into settings, wipe data of messeging app from there
7. Reboot your phone. Might as well wipe the data again. Won't hurt.
If this will not help you, I suggest trying to find a native MMS.apk app for your ROM (ask someone on forums to post it) and try the above the same way.

So basically i wanna remove Sense and Widgets from InsertCoin, but keep the functions that make Sense great like the Camera, Facebook Sense...Oh and also the Lockscreen to the Vanilla one. I've seen plenty of scripts written for other phones and none seem to work for Desire sadly Any halp?
Open the zip before flashing (don't extract it) and remove all the widgets and other stuff you don't want. Either in system/app or data/app. The flash it with signature verification turned off.

install the rom and if you are s-off install different launcher like adw or launcher pro. Go to root explorer and delete folder called rosie
Oh damn, i suppose i should have read this
But how do I remove the Sense incoming call screen???
Plug phone into ADB (if you have it on your PC) or use astro file manager go to system/apps and delete htclockscreen.apk then unplug the phone and restart it will go back to the original AOSP lockscreen.
And id suggest using ADW Launcher EX. then you get all the HTC apps with the AOSP look
EDIT: Also you need to get another alarm clock because deleting the htclockscreen.apk file means you cant turn off your alarm
iDidit!
Okay, so following the post that was located in baadnewz's website (which was linked from the same page as the ROM LOL) i have removed all the stuff i want, such as the Launcher, all Sense widgets and most apps except for Friend Stream (for facebook photo syncing) Gmail, Stocks and a few other things but added ADW Launcher 1.3.6 (not for constant use, just so the ROM would have something to go to after setting up as i am using ADW EX). After doing so i gave myself 10-20~MB in extra space! resulting from a 188MB Installation zip to 170~MB! I have to say, the smoothest DHD ROM I've ever used! I think i might just PM baadnewz himself to see what he thinks of my 'work'
I will edit this post to add photos...I may post a DL link depending on how many people 'thank' this post
Hi,
I have some applications I want to save, I mean the APK file.
But I find them only on the android market, and doesn't see how to save the .apk file on my disk (for future use for example).
Do you know if the apk file is stored somewhere in the phone ?
Thanks
Is your phone rooted? It makes a difference. If not rooted you can use mybackup from the market to backup the apps. Never tried it and I am guessing it won't backup paid apps and only free versions. But it might.
If your phone is rooted you can find your apps in the data/app/ folder.
Once you have installed the App, look in /cache/download. Most apks will be in there.
You don't need rooted phone to save (backup) apk's. Just use MyPhoneExplorer which has the function to backup all installed programs (apk's) to computer (also backups SMSes, contacts, etc)
D>
yes, the phone is rooted.
I checked with Estrong explorer in the folders data and cache and there's nothing ...
The idea is to keep the apk files somewhere when they are not directly available on the net, only using the android market.
Back them up on titanium backup then when you want them again just restore them using titanium again, you can restore them fresh or with your old settings, hasn't failed me yet

Look in data/app as I said. This is the location of all user installed apks. Unless you are using a ROM that uses a different location. Only familiar with sense builds myself. Or use a program that can backup apps. There were 3 mentioned in this thread.
apk with a manager go to system / app. they should be, and extract and save hello
Data/app or system/app?
Confused.

Either or, depending on what you're after. Apps you've installed (e.g. from the market) will be in /data/app, system apps (e.g Sense and the apps bundled with it) will be in /system/app.

If the directories/files are not there then check that ES file explorer is configured to show hidden files.

For unrooted devices, using ES File Explorer:
1. Open ES File Explorer
2. Press Menu >> Manager >> App Manager
3. Long press the application and then press Backup
4. .apk file will be saved to /sdcard/backups/app/
Title says it all really. I deleted the stock app for Contacts as I didn't think it'd make a difference since I had Go Contacts EX install as well.
But now when I try add contacts through Go Contacts I get the No application was found to handle this request message.
Is there any way I can reinstall the stock go contacts app? Without reinstalling a ROM or w/e.
Cheers.

- nandroid backup just in case...
- assuming you haven't modified it, reflash the rom.zip without wiping anything
technically this is reinstalling the rom, but you won't lose any data. reflashing will give you back the original contacts.apk
alternatively if you're s-off:
- copy and extract the rom.zip on PC
- locate contacts.apk within system/app
- paste contacts.apk into system/app on phone and reboot

I did this exact same thing on a droid razr maxx HD. Can you help me fix it??

I'm currently using Sandvold's ICS for Desire. It's great however I wanted to change the SMS-to-MMS threshold to something higher - currently can only be 3 SMSs long. I know I can just install a SMS app such as Handcent, but I wanted to just modify the stock one.
Using Root Explorer I copied Mms.apk to the SD card, and then that to my PC. I've tried a couple of different methods of decompiling, editing, then recompiling using both apktool and the APK Multi-Tool (e.g. here) however whenever I try and install the modifed *.apk it fails.
Older tutorials refer to twframework-res.apk found in /system/framework, however it appears it is no longer in ICS? Is there a different dependancy file I'm missing? I tried using framework-res.apk but APK Multi-Tool says it's not the right dependancy file.
Can anyone provide a tutorial/method/information regarding this on the Desire? It's possible I'm missing something like the ROM is odexed so not-doable etc.
Cheers, Arite.
OK I've got it working now - essentially just needed to restart the system and all seems to be operating correctly.
Apologies for the wasted thread - feel free to delete/lock it.

Hi,
I am currently running: Jelly "Beans" Custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221268
I am a large fan of the sms app that they have, but would like to switch roms. I like the way it looks and the custom colors that were placed within the system SMS app. Is there a way to create a flashable .zip file of this messageing app to flash onto a different new rom?
I've searched to check if there is a flashable.zip file available for this customized SMS app and can't seem to find it, if someone has a link to the SMS flashable zip already, that would work also.
Thanks

Works well. Flash it.in recovery and you might need to do it a few times before you find one with working mms.
Also in the future to push apps to system just a file explorer with root access and copy any app you want and then paste is it the system/app folder. Make sure the folder is R/W and change permissions to rw-r-r
