[Q] Callulin E4GT v1.6 ICS mms

I apologize if this has been asked before or if this is the wrong place, I'm having some issues searching from my E4GT.
Some background: I flashed Calkulin's ICS v1.6 rom, and its great!
The only problem is I don't care for the touchwiz messaging app. I really like the vanilla ICS messaging app though, and I tried replacing the mms.apk in /system/app, rebooting and wiping dalvik and cache. This mostly works, but I can't receive any messages when I do this. I can send however. Am I doing something wrong, is there a working stock mms.apk that I can load, or does the stock app need to be modified?
Thank you very much for your help guys!

What you did should've worked. I'd suggest trying it with another TW MMS.apk and seeing if you still have the issues. Here is the one I normally use. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/60430147/Installers/Mms (Themed B&W).apk
If you still have the issue there may be something else going on. If it works I'd pull a fresh MMS.apk from a stock ROM and try pushing it again?
Good luck!

I forgot to ask, did you remember to set permissions?

Thanks for the reply!
I did try another TW mms.apk, and that did work. Only the stock apk wouldn't work. I did check permissions too, and they were rw-r--r-- I believe. Don't have it in front of me. Either way, it matched the permissions of other system apps.
I think I may just try out another ICS rom. I've been playing a lot lately and loved AOKP but with build 40 had some strange volume issues, so maybe CM9 for a bit ha ha.
Thanks for the help again, I'll give it another go when I get a bit of time.

I'm not sure if the AOSP messaging app will work correctly on TW. A lot of vanilla apps don't work across like that. Doesn't it require you to build it with the TW framework or decompile and do some .smali edits before building?
Just speculation on my part. I remember not being able to use vanilla apps on my G2 with Sense roms so I'd figure it would be the same here for the most part.

Try ics messaging from play store, its free

[SOLVED] Stock mail and messaging apps / CM10 messaging

Can anyone point me in the right direction for where I can find or extract apks for the stock Android 4.1 mail/exchange app along with the messaging app? I've given it a day but I'm not a big fan of Samsung's. The calendar is pretty bad too...
I tried flashing the CM10 messaging app but it didn't work, I assume there are other dependencies that it's missing, though it's supposed to work on stock JB devices. Has anyone had any luck with it?

google "GAPPS" for stock google android apps or you can google 4.2 GAPPS for the lastest 4.2 version of GAPPS
CM10 apps only works on CM10 based ROMs, all of us are using Samsung based ROM's.

Cm messaging on the market.

GAPPS doesn't include the mms or exchange apps. I'll try extracting from another ROM.

Hmmm, yeah I see its not there anymore.

Alright this was a bit of a pain but I figured it out. Here is the stock Exchange app that worked, and here is the stock MMS application (threading is working). For posterity I've also attached them as uploads.
Uninstall the existing apps using Titanium Backup or by manually nuking the MMS, SecEmail, and SecExchange apk and .odex files from /system/apps and then flash these via TWRP or CWM. Next is up is contacts and calendar

CM10 Messenger App
This CM10 mms apk from the Note 1's Liquid Smooth ROM seems to work flawlessly. Popups and threading are all working correctly. I extracted from the ROM itself, but here's the apk itself.
Same deal, nuke the stock mms, move this to /system/apps/ and install.

Yes I too am having fc's while sending mms. Went back to other attached mms.zip and works perfect.
sent using gNote II.

Confirmed I also have force close when sending an mms.Bummer.

This one works flawlessly so far. SMS, MMS, Emoji's, etc. Enjoy!

Unbelievable, I must have tried ten different versions.This one works flawlessly - thank you so much!
Edit: nevermind I just realized it's stock and not the CM10 version with popups. I think I'll roll stock with the SMS Popup program though and call it a day. Thanks again.

[TW][4.1.2] Group SecMMS Apk for TW Roms

Just Flash Group SecMMs Touchwiz Addon [insert your rom here].zip then flash Group MMs on TW framework [insert your rom here].zip [It will wipe your messages] Backup Before Flashing.
You should be able to flash this on any themed stock ROM without losing your theme
But just in case:
I have added the changed smali file in Group MMS on TW smali.zip for any dev that wants to add these features to their themed secmms.apk
Update 3/17
Made one for stock and inverted Novella Dos [If you are still getting FC send me your Secmms.apk and I will look at it]
Update 3/18
Turns out at least from the SecMms.apk files I have gotten so far that they are all different so I will have to do one for each ROM. I removed the other files so that there would be no confusion. [Let me know how it goes]
Update 3/20
Heck Yes!!! Got it working on Novella Dos, I do not have any iphone friends so I cannot test that, please let me know if you guys have any problems and please be aware that I just got this working and am sharing it with the community. The Group mms on Tw framework.zip file will wipe out your messages so Backup before you flash it. Make sure to make a flashable zip of your framework2.jar or backup your whole ROM.
The standard framework was for Novella Dos. If that doesn't work for you send me the framework2.jar from your ROM.
4/18
I got a lot of the bugs worked out and removed the slideshow that I hated. v2 has all of the changes. Just wanted to make it easier to flash.
Just Flash Group SecMMs Touchwiz Addon [insert your rom here].zip then flash Group MMs on TW framework [insert your rom here] v2.zip [It will wipe your messages] Backup Before Flashing.
Also for anyone interested I made a mod for the speech bubbles, all of them should be replaced.
AOSP Group MMS
Just Flash Group MMS on Tw [insert your rom here].zip [It will wipe your messages] Backup Before Flashing.

Great work. Big thanks for this. I have yet to have a need for the function myself, but I know this is a highly desired mod here in our community.
Thanks for your contributions.

Hey, thanks for your work here. I am getting a FC on the stock messaging app now. Running clean rom at&t Se 1.5
Any ideas?

Same here

If this gets fixed to where it doesn't FC I would love you forever, the only reason I'm not on touchwiz is because of the lack of group messaging.

You can just push the stock SecMms.apk into system/apps. You can get it from a TouchWiz based ROM.

I'm getting FCs with this as well and I'm running ATT CleanRom SE 1.5. I don't know if you want me to send you my SecMMS.apk as requested or if you're already at work on this. I've been beginning for this mod for ever. Would really appreciate a working apk. Thanks!

Hey regulusv7, I installed the CleanRom SE 1.5 app and it doesn't FC, which is great, but when I send a group text it adds it to a thread to "Anonymous" recipients and the replies come back to individual threads. I wiped caches and fixed permissions so not sure what else I can do. Perhaps some of the others are having better luck. Thanks again!

Will this work with Skyrom 8.5?

Would this also work with the new CleanROM 4.6?
Awesome work btw!!!

[How To]Group Messaging AND MMS over WiFi calling for T989

Hello! This is my first write up. I'm sorry if it's in the wrong place so Moderators please move to the appropriate place.
I've done a lot of searching for group messaging for our phones (T989) and have done a lot of experimenting myself to get this to work right. I wanted to wait to create this write up until I had it working perfectly but since I'm helping a friend with an i727 Skyrocket (att GS2) I thought I'd just make the write up now. For those who have the necessary tools I've included links to decompile the files and mod them yourselves (which I've done) and those without the necessary tools I've included the working files from my stock deodexed UVMC6 ROM.
First of all threaded group messaging works on the T989 (Also working via WiFi-Calling) May even work (group messaging that is) on other Devices running stock 4.1.2.
The bugs that I haven't been able to/had the time to work out yet are as follows:
1. I can't seem to figure out...yet*...how to filter your own phone number out of incoming MMS messages the results of this are any incoming MMS will default to group messages showing you and the other person in the group. Any incoming group messages will show you in the group so any reply you make will come back to yourself unless you add your own number to the spam list.
All these issues come from the same issue, I haven't had the time to figure out where the framework2.jar file is looking to identify your phone number to filter it out of the conversation thread.
Other than that, if you can live with this issue, or want to help me identify what it is and how to fix it I would love the help.
Now for the instructions:
.5. Read all the instructions ALL THE WAY THROUGH BEFORE YOU START
1. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP NOW also backup your messages
2. If you haven't made a backup I'm not responsible for your stupidity. Actually, even if you did make a backup I'm still not responsible for your stupidity. Only for mine...and the untold number of times I've soft-bricked my phone working on this.
3. Backup your messages
4. Reboot into recovery and install the attached zip
5. Reboot into normal and wait for Android to upgrade
6. Using your favorite root browser go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and delete the following files: (will delete your messages)
smsmms.db
smsmms.db-shm
smsmms.db-wal
7. IF NOT using an odexed ROM then skip to #11. IF you ARE using an odexed ROM:
a. Use your favorite root browser and go to /system/app and delete:
SecMMS.odex
SecTelephonyProvider.odex
b. Go to /system/framework and delete:
framework2.odex
8. Reboot to recovery
9. Clear cache
10. Reboot into normal
11. Enjoy group texting with iPhones and other group texting devices!
All credit and thanks go to the following developers and their threads from which I have learned so much!
jovy23 - for providing the info to edit a decompiled SecMMS.apk to enable group messaging via WiFi-Calling and other mods Info in his thread
regulusv7 - for proving group messaging in TW could be done Info here
loserskater - for the framework2.jar edits and the smsmms.db His thread here
And anyone else who I may have forgotten who helped along the way.
The info in the threads provided from those I learn from should be sufficient if you want to make changes for other ROMS or other devices.
I still want to figure out the threading issue with the sending messages back to myself by not during the holidays. I hope you guys find this information useful!

Thanks for posting this. I've been needing something like this. Will give it a try later.

I doesn't matter who starts the message. I've started group messages, my friends with other Androids, and my friends with iphones - they all work fine aside from the issues I outlined in the OP. Are you running stock or close to stock UVMC6 for the T-Mobile T989? Are you odexed or deodexed? Can't help you without more info....

hello, is there something i can flash to reverse the process? im having issues sending pictures via mms now and mms period actually and im not sure if its related to this flashing or not.

I know this is only for UVMC6, but will this work on ICS 4.0.4? (That's the only ROM I like.....The Sith)

Just restore the files you backed up. replace your original SecMms.apk and SecTelephonyProvider.apk to /system/app and your original framework2.jar to /system/framework

I don't know if it will work for 4.0.4...I guess you could make a nandroid and try it! If you don't want the group messaging I guess you can just do the SecMms.apk...thats the file that allows you to send MMS over wifi-calling. At least in my testing when I tried the same file from a Verizon S3 or an ATT Note 2, or even any Mms.apk from AOSP it wouldn't send mms over wifi unless I was using SecMms.apk from a T-Mobile ROM.
Good luck!

[Q] Hangouts on 4.4.2

While hangouts was nice when it first came out, I find it irritating now. The real pain in the azz is that it is the stock messenger in BeanStalk 4.4.2. No MMS.APK file is included. Does anyone have an apk that would be compatible with this version? I have several 4.4 ROM's. Didn't know if I could extract that apk and use it.

I don't see why it wouldn't work! If you have an apk that was used in a previous 4.4 build then lace it in the system folder and it should work fine!

any messaging app should be fine, I used Go SMS and other apps with no problem.
by the way, there were few recent updates to hangouts and they improved it, I use it now, so I suggest you will update to most recent version through google play and try again.
Good luck!

Thats the thing. 4.4 does not come with an mms.apk file. 4.3 was the last build that had one. And when I put it into the apk folder and try and run it, it force closes and my current messaging app fk's up.

Just download messenger
