Install Stock ICS Messaging app? (mms.apk?)

So I tried looking for a solution and so far havent found anything
I like stock touchwiz (so far) mostly because of the Motion options Samsung introduced (AOKP and CM9 have yet to implement these)
I really liked the stock messaging app from ICS (coming from a Galaxy Nexus) and was wondering if there is a way of getting it on the S3
I tried pushing the stock "mms.apk" to the /system/app folder but it keep saying there is a conflict and cannot install (installing the stock gallery.apk worked though)
The S3 messaging app is called "Secmms.apk" , but even if i rename that and try installing the stock mms.apk it just said the install failed
Does anyone have any clue on how to install the stock ICS messaging app?
Thanks in advance!

Your welcome!
BTW, if you want the calendar (ICS version) let me know. It works too!!!

Thanks for posting that. Worked perfectly over here.
Any chance of getting the stock contacts app or will that take more effort than it's worth?

Now that the issue is solved, can someone upload the vanilla apk for the gallery please
And yeah, calendar would be nice too.

hey rumz82
can you share ICS calendar?

can someone post the ics msg app screenshot...? i want to try it too...

Contacts is part of the dialler so you'll get into a mess if you try to change that, I did. I also changed the keyboard by putting in the latinIME.apk and then switching to it as the default input method. I find the stock keyboard quite unreliable.
If you use the CM gallery, as already posted, you can set the background screen image to be scrollable at the right resolution.

thanks for tweeting suroot!
I'm referring to the big circle with the sms icon that appears on the right center of the lockscreen that we used to get then a new sms arrives - then we drag it from the left to the right to open the sms application, that way we don't have to sacrifice one of the 4 shortcut slots for sms app
that's the one I was referring to, and it's gone now!

Thanks for that but I am having trouble replacing the Email (Exchange) app from my stock rooted S3.
Do you have to have a deoxed ROM to replace the Email app for the stock one?
I cannot replace email.apk as there is simply none in the ROM, only an Exchange.apk

[APP][MOD] AOSP Jelly Bean Keyboard for Users

Hi guys.
I had struggle using the stock keyboard and it was a bit of hell looking for an alternative.
So I came across one of my favorite keyboard ever since on my Nexus. The AOSP keyboard but of course, ported from CM10. So credits to the devs of CM10
If you will like to flash it as well. I have it on my drop box
AOSP JB Keyboard
http://db.tt/xbIrWe7h
Installation Steps:
1. Power off your S3 phone
2. Boot into recovery for CWM
3. Navigate to the download folder of your internal memory
4. Flash and reboot.
When you reboot. Don't forget to go into
Settings > Language and input. Click then second option to make AOSP your default keyboard.
Its fast and flawless. In my opinion, uses less RAM too.

Get a solution

Few questions I have,
Dose this replace anything (setting/existing keyboard) or just adds the AOSP's keyboard?
Should it work on all roms? -odexed/deodexed/ICS/JB...
Dose it support all of the stock languages?
And can it be uninstalled?
Sorry if some of the questions are elementary but I'm having some backup issues so I'm double-checking everything I install... (better be noob then sorry)

It doesn't replace your keyboard. It just installs as an extra keyboard so it's up to you to choose which one you want as a default keyboard. Either Aosp key board or Samsung keyboard.
It works on odex and deodexed.
I'm not too sure if it works on ICS, although it should.
It works very well on Jelly bean.
If you want it uninstalled, simply flash you Rom again and it wipes it off.
On the other hand, you can use your file explorer to open the .zip and go to > System> apps>
Install LatinIME.apk just like a normal application.
That way it won't be a system app and you can easily uninstall from your applications manager without having to flash your Rom all over again.

[Q] Possible to install AOSP Messaging app on TouchWiz ROM?

Hi all,
After trying out CM10.1, I've found it to be a little too unstable at this early stage and have flashed back to Wanamlite. I can live with TouchWiz for now, but the one app on TouchWiz I really can't stand is the Messaging/SMS app.
Is it possible to flash an AOSP/vanilla version of the Android messaging app onto my phone?
Would it need to replace the TouchWiz one, or would it work side-by-side with it?
Where could I get an up to date AOSP SMS app?
Any help would be great!

Thanks mate I saw that - but seems to have a few bugs at present. Was wondering if it was possible to get the app another way.

Its possible. It replaces the tw version. There is one in themes/apps section for the sprint s3. You have to push the file to system/app. Rename it and set perm.

Works a treat. A little bit different to the steps they advised though; putting mms.apk in the system/app folder with the correct permissions wouldn't work - I could put it in there, but the application wouldn't actually load when rebooted.
I then tried installing it as an APK, but no go; Android said there was another system app installed. So I moved secmms up one level, rebooted into recovery, fixed permissions, and now it's fine.

Hi All,
Try this version. I took this from the S3 AOSP Codec ROM which is version 4.0.4~ish. Works great on my S3 (GT-I9300) with XXELL4 ROM 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
It has:
- Dark theme (4.2 theme I think)
- Emoticons
- emojis

it needs to be a system app so copy it over to /system/app and set ownership and permission as root:root 644/rw-r-r

Thank you winuxguy, I've copied the app, but I don't really understand the root:root 644/rw-r-r...
Can you explain this a little bit more please?

Any compatible browser.apk for Android 4.4?

As above. Chrome is terrible.

Android 4.4's WebView component is Chronium, which is almost the same as Chrome.
Browser.apk uses WebView.
You can try other WebView browsers in the Play Store such as Naked Browser and it will also have terrible rendering and scrolling speed.

Sorry, I actually mean the AOSP browser. Will the 4.3 apk work? Has anyone tried?

The 4.3 one won't work, tried it on the n5 port a while back

Works like a charm for me. I must say that I truly hate Chrome. I mean sure, it has some cool features but It's the most laggy and choppy browser I've ever used! Pinch to zoom and scrolling is a pure nightmare. There was a time it looked like it was getting better, but then again 3 last updates just made it worse.

That one still has issues. I think we may have to wait for 4.4 to get an update and be pushed out to AOSP.

Yeah, I've just noticed that address field doesn't disappear as it's supposed to. Anyway, I am gonna have to stick with that until it gets updated. Cannot stand laggy browsers

What method did you use to flash gaps and did you apply the Kindle free wallpaper fix? Also, what launcher are you using and did you use kindle free to install it?

Well i rooted it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545957 , then i installed supersu, and busybox ,but and old version, this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7574130&postcount=229 because i read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545781&page=3 .
Then i installed kindlefree and stuns wallpaper fix.
Back up with safestraps and restore to rom slot with 4000mb of data , and then flash gapps rom to rom slot.
And when i rebooted .i saw that i was able to select the bubbles lwp that came with the launcher. Now i have fresh leaves as lwp
Also i try to install fb and whatsapp and failed. but installing them before flashing the gapps-rom seems to work.

I decided to go ahead and delete my rom slot and start over.
1. Created 4gb data partition sized rom slot
2. flashed a backup of my stock rom
3. flashed thor-gapps rom
4. wiped cache
Now live wallpaper is working in whatever launcher this is, and I can install adw launcher and the lwp continues to work. However, I can't use widgets with adw launcher even if I install it with kindlefree.
Gmail WAS working, then started force closing probably 10-15 minutes after it was installed. Gmail will only reopen if wifi is turned off. As soon as wifi is back on it will force close.
Puffin browser now works regardless of wifi setting.
Zinio magazine app works

I haven't been able to find it in the hdx section. Just a bunch of references to a dead link somewhere about using xposed when i search the forum or even search using google. I suppose I could poke around in xposed and see if there is an option about the navbar.

It's one I replied to by OP juggamonkey, and something like 'hide navbar, root required'..... It's in my post history... It'll also require at least one paid app...
