Lost my messages app... - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I seem to have deleted the stock messages app. Any way to recover this without factory reset? I can't seem to find the .apk for it.

How did that happen? You sure you deleted it and didn't just freeze/disable it?
You could download a stock ROM as a zip and get the mms.apk from there, push it to /system/app with adb or use something like Root Explorer to do it...

I may have disabled it, but I can't find it in the apps list to re-enable it. It's it gone?

If you have disabled it, scroll all the way down the app list.

This works.
Does anyone knows how I can replace the Stock Massage app with the CM10 Message app?

How do I do that?

You use root explorer to go to
System >app> find face book delete it
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Or you can use, SDX Stock app removal, root explorer never seemed to delete system apps for me, even tho i had it on r/w. SDX is also nice cause it backs it up!
I hardly ever use root explorer just sometimes to save apps for backup off the market..
I completely forgot about that
I'm too used to pushing everything by root explorer

There is no need to upgrade to 1.5.1 there was very minor changes that you won't even notice. That's why I haven't themed it and kept 1.5 in my theme
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I used root uninstaller to delete Facebook. I then downloaded it again. But it downloads 1.5 instead of the newer version. But then the newer version will not install.
Even though I may not need 1.5.1. What id there is a major update in the near future and I cannot update it.
I guess I can wait until the new bonsai comes out.
Thanks everyone.

Delete original phone.apk
Push this to system/app
Profit

Where is the stock phone apk located? I should probably make a titanium backup of it no?

I would rename your original phone.apk to something like "original_phone.apk" instead of deleting it. You never know...

Its located in system/app
You only want to make a back up if you ever feel like getting it back in the future

I tried to install this, did everything right and I was unable to get service on my phone, also going into mobile networks section would crash, luckily I had made a nandroid backup just before doing this. Just a warning
On the Verizon model, there IS NO "phone.apk" in the System/App folder. There is a "SecPhone.apk", but making changes to it makes you lose your Verizon service, both voice and data.
I have phoneerrservice.apk and phonesky.apk, am I removing both?

I think you're talking about the touchwiz phone app. This thread is about the cyanogenmod9 phone app

What I'd really like is a notification that can be dismissed, not sure if that is possible though

I too am coming from a rooted Verizon phone. Is there any known workaround for installing this apk?

How did you install it? Did you use adb and push it to /system/app? Did you use root explorer and copy it to /system/app and then edit the permissions appropriately? Or did you just open the apk to install?
This is for CM9 users only.

I used root explorer and pushed it to system/app and change permissions. After that, I got no service, wifi worked but couldn't make phone calls or send/receive text messages. So I had to restore from Android backup

Stock messaging app problem

Hello everyone,
I'm having an odd problem. The stock touchwiz messaging app won't display notifications. Any third party app will, and but the stock won't. I have tried clearing the data for the stock app, but that hasn't helped.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks.

Factory reset should help.
Make a backup of all your apps and data with Titanium Backup and your contacts with Google.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
You probably already checked this but make sure the notifications are checked the settings of the messaging app itself.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Yes I did check, but thank you.
The only thing I can think of is I installed and uninstalled an app called slide messages. It has an option tondisabke broadcasting by stock sms. I unchecked this before uninstall though.

[Q] Error updating Google Keyboard

I'm running the latest Wicked Rom and play store says there's an update for the Google Keyboard which I run. It then tells me "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again."
I can't find a way to uninstall the current google keyboard so I can update. Any ideas?
If its in /system/app/ rensme it with te extension .bak. then reboot and try to install it again.

Hey Doc, thanks for the very quick reply. I checked the app folder in system per your instructions but there was no Google keyboard listed. Any other ideas?
Then I guess its not a system app. (It may have IME somewhere in the name btw. Sometimes the keyboards don't have the word keyboard in the file name. For example, Samsungs keyboard is SamsungIME.apk.
Look in App management and see if you can uninstall it there.

Thanks Serio, so I renamed it with .bak, ran the update but got the same error message unfortunately.
I also looked in app manager, but it doesn't give me an option to uninstall it, I cleared the data and tried again but the same error.
Did you remember to reboot after renaming?
Go into /data/data/ and look for the folder for the keyboard. Something like com.google.latinime
Rename that folder too. I usually just put a Z or A in front of the name to make it easy to find.

Minus 9000 for epic not reading fail. Ok, will reboot and get back.
Rebooted, same error. This is more of a curiosity issue and not really a major problem...I'd love to find an answer to this though.
Lol!
No biggie. We've all done it I'm sure!

How to disable System update notification?

I'm on stock 4.1.2 rooted and is like to get rid of the notifications.
I've already renamed the fwupdate.apk and the odex file, and deleted the update file from cache.
I've also renamed the otacerts.zip fixed permissions in twrp and rebooted.
I can't find any other methods. Any help would be fantastic. Thanks!

In notification pull down, long press on the update notification. There should be an option to disable the notification there

It allows me to go to the app info for Google Services Framework. Isn't that an important app?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk
So I made sure the update wasn't in my cache, and then selected to install the update. My phone didn't even reboot, it immediately went to a screen that said I was up to date.
FWIW
