You can download a CM7 rom, open it with winrar or 7zip, browse to system/app and get your wanted sms app.
Then put it on your phone (root required) in system/app and set the permissions the same like all the other apps in that folder.
Make a backup of your phone before doing this, in case anything goes wrong
I'm surprised that you wanna do this.
I'm always trying to make stock MMS app to work in cm.

I will try to extract mms.apk from cm7 but i'm not that sure if it will work on stock ( adrenaline rom ) -_-

Don´t have the semccalendar apk either, i tryied with one from Xperia S that it was supposed to work, moved to system/app, set the right permissions, reboot...but didn´t work.
I've searched for hours on google and everything I have found has given me no results. I would love to use some of these amazing touchwiz roms but I absolutely hate touchwiz mms app. I'd be fine with having the Jelly bean MMS app, but cant replace the secmms.apk. Can anyone offer some help? I'm using Android Revolution 11.0 on DLIB.
This is from Dragons rom, its stock MMS. Replace it with root explorer and make permission changes.

Try go sms or handcent.
I've used both of them,plus touchwiz sms and aosp one but the first two are phenomenal.
Get them from market and just delete any other sms app.
Hey guys,
I don't mind doing the work to extract the files but if someone can point me where to get them? Also if you have it available I would gladly take it. Thanks
here you go.. these are from 4.2.1
apk - https://www.dropbox.com/s/169pq40sb3pltig/Mms.apk
odex - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ejnta6izwda1hyo/Mms.odex
Heres a thread that has stock deodex and odex ROM by Fireb33. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010887. VERY HELPFUL in these situations. He seems to update it too with every OTA that we receive. I dont know if he has 4.2 but those are 4.2.1. And links should still work..

Thanks so much. I am going to try to install now. I only have to place odex file in system/app correct? I know about changing mms apk to rw r r
Alright I have no idea because these don't work and neither have any other mms apk that I have tried. I guess accidentally deleting the mms odex was a big mistake. Luckily third party mms is still working.
Never mind I got it to work. Hand cent was set as default and it was blocking the stock mms.
Anybody can reupload the mms.odex please?
edit: forget it ^^

A while ago I tried to find a fix for using dark themes (saves battery life) but MMS text always turned out black on black. Making it unreadable.
So after a some investigations I am happy to say I have a fix that works with sending images
The CM10.1 version works with Shpongle for me fine so far.

Just tried this one, with much better effect, works better with more themes

i use the one from black jelly 2.2
Curious,
just installed this and the icon on the homescreen is still that green default native app one.
I really dig that ics colored icon, is there a way to change it within the app as opposed to using something like desktop visualizer? I'm looking for it to install that icon by default.
I know i can decompile the apk and change it that way. But I'm prepping to do a reinstall on my pc and don't want to install an apk tool till after.
If not that's cool, just figured I'd ask

i dont think u can change the Icon of the Messages app ... the icons come from Framework-res.apk .. you have to change it there or use a theme :good::fingers-crossed:
Here's another hmm for y'all. And I'll mention that I pulled the native mms apk from the phone first.
Does anybody have the app going back to the light colors after a reboot? I still have the native apk but it's on my sd card. So I can't see where it could be influencing the dark apk. But sure as the sun rises in the east, when I have to reboot for some reason it reverts. If I reinstall the dark apk it all goes back to what is supposed to be, and I retain all my messages. Just curious if it's just me. Or something I did
Oh, figured out how to get the ics icon to show on your homescreen.
Before you flash your Rom, go into system/app and pull the green mms.apk, and replace it with the dark version. When the phone boots it'll use that apk and viola. Ics icon and dark mms.
Hope this helps somebody. Personally I think the dark version actually sends the msgs faster. Maybe it's in my head, but it sure felt that way,
Update: for clarification, this needs to be done on your pc. Don't have to unzip the file or anything, just open it as you would a normal file/folder. I is definitely say to do this before transferring the Rom file to you device. It seems to take forever otherwise. Plus one on the phone, it seems you can't change the name of the file. Which I'd definitely recommend. Just name it "mms.apk" the device seems to take care of the permission stuff itself.

Using root explorer you can just paste it into the system/app folder, also if you use Titanium backup then once its installed you can incorporate the update into the rom. This means it will always boot with your new .apk
I have just installed the BlackOut clear theme with mms.apk and all the rest. You can install all the zips etc for GAPs as well

That's interesting.I was using smanager to do the same thing. But whenever I'd rebootthe phone it would revert to the native style. The only way I've gotten it to stick permanently is with the method I mentioned before

You need to rename and redo the permissions as well, but all that can be done on phone with root explorer.

Just replacing the one in the Rom with the dark one and flashing the Rom did it for me. No permission stuff, just renamed it. And flashed the Rom. aside from pulling the native app from the Rom zip. That is

I wish I could remember Rohov, have you discovered its been ripped from someone elses work? Or are you looking for a nice 4.2.2 MMS.apk, I can recommend the Slim 4.2.2 mms,apk looks purdy.

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads is where I got mine from, there is a little variation from rom to rom but generally pretty mint. Plenty of dark gapps in there as well, I used most of the 4.4 ones in the SlimRom except for the camera which I got from a normal google apk.
I'm working on a apktool guide so you could always read and use that :angel: .
Do you want direct links for apk only to save bandwidth? or are the rom files fine?
Thanx for sharing!!!... But i cant find mms.apk anywhere... Is it in rom zip??? If yes, plz if u have, can u share the direct links for apk...

Hi Rohov, its in the rom.zip all the mms.apk s are in the /system/app folder. You can use any zip program to open them and pull the apks out. Once they are on your phone you may need to change the permissions to -r -rw -rw itll make sense in the root browser if not post me.
Here as requested is my current fav mms.apk tho.
