Is it possible to install later versions of gapps on stock? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm going to fall back to stock as my cell signal has not been working well since I moved to custom roms. Also I can't get on at&t's wifi which is helpful at work
Anyway the one thing I will miss the most is the latest version of the messaging app. Is this something I can back up and restore in stock? Latest works so much better at group messaging than gosms

Ok ill have a look. Doesn't sound like it's a perfect solution which is disappointing because it seems to work well in the roms I've tried. I'll give it a shot though

It worked well for me but I don;t use group messaging.
Ask ka dev who has is in their ROM how they did or what walk-through would work best.

[Q][ICS] Looking for proper/working SMS Splitting

Not sure if this is the right place to post this - sorry in advance.
I'm looking for a flashable MMS.apk or .zip that would give me the stock ICS messaging app with SMS splitting that works.
The only ROM I know that has this working properly is Apex. Every other ROM I've tried either doesn't have the option to split, or does have the option, but it doesn't do anything.
I've searched the forums and could only find themed mms.apks to use. It looks like a few others are looking for a solution to this as well. Has someone posted on this before? If so, please send me in the right direction.
First off it works on codename and it works on markVis's super charged roms, and this should be in general not development, sometime you have to go to settings in messaging and turn SMS split on

Was on CNA for weeks, and a few different versions at that. It was brought up in the threads there, too. Currently using AOKP right now. Will check out markVis's, so thanks for that suggestion.
In my OP, I was saying that some ROMs have the option, but it doesn't "do anything," meaning that the app will still work as if it wasn't checked in the settings. I've re-wiped, re-flashed, and the whole shibang.
If a moderator can move this thread, that would be cool. I'm still (relatively) new here.
The ones in this thread work fine for me. They're based on the one originally posted in oics.

Is that the stock mms.apk from the rom or from a theme you installed? I haven't used codename but the problem reported by the user is something reported on aokp and being that a lot of roms will use features from others I would suspect other roms could easily have the issue. The only mms that has properly worked for me is the one originally released with oics.

if you were on two different roms and it didnt work on either, then it probably is safe to say its not the rom.
try the link to denverg's mms.apk's they have saved me in the past when i didnt want to mess with the 160split problem. but over the past couple of months, i have been on CNA and AOKP almost exclusively and have not had any problems with split. make sure you dont restore data the next time you flash a rom. flash it and test the split, then restore whatever data and see if that breaks it. that will tell you if its the rom or your data. my 2 cents fwiw
oICS is the only rom I've used where the split actually worked. Its the reason it took me forever and a half to leave that rom lol. I'm a big texter and its annoying as hell not having the split, specially when the option to turn it on is laughing in your face lmao. Btw I'm as well on AOKP b28 and would love to see this actually work.

I saw these earlier, but thought that they were all themed? They all say "Inverted" on the .zip files. Do I just download the ones that say "Stock", too? And GI or BI (wut?).
They are all inverted. Probably the only place to find the white background would be in the oics thread by aosp. Gi or bi just indicates the color of the icon. Green or blue.

That wasn't what he was implying, for me it's worked on every Rom I've used except for one, and I'm a flashaholic I flash a lot of roms , it could simply be an issue of not doing a full wipe or something

[Q] Does Instagram work on any ICS-based ROM yet?

I've tried many ROMs and noticed Instagram didn't work in any of them, so I went back to stock. I kinda just got tired of flashing ****.
Basically, my question is... Does Instagram work on any of the new 4-19-2012 ICS builds? I tried every other ROM before that date, I think.

Browsing pictures and commenting is fine. But... You can apply filter and post pictures without your phone having a seizure, freezing, or rebooting?
Last i checked it wasn't...so perhaps you're lucky.
I haven't found an ICS rom based off any of the leaks that Instagram works with yet. I would wait for the OFFICIAL official release of ICS and then go from there...

What he said.. Each are varying with what works and what does not. I am running CM10 on my main phone, its not bug free but I dont have any huge major issues. CM9 improves on some things but not everything. The only ones I would personally call rock solid are the CM7 builds.

You're not being very forthcoming with your setup. Assuming you are already rooted...You can back up apps with titanium backup. You can back up the rom with your recovery (cwm, twrp, ext, etc...). For nav, any rom will do. For tether, it depends on if you want to use the built in CM tether, or a market app. I believe the CM7 roms have the built in tether working. CM9 and CM10 may require the use of an app like barnacle for tethering. Stability is in the eye of the beholder, but generally the CM7 roms will be most stable since they have "better" kernel source.
My real suggestion...spend some time reading around the threads because you are the only one that can really decide what will work best for you.
Okay sorry I was not very specific but yes I am rooted on android 2.3!4 and I just want make sure I have a good alternative to stock maybe with better performance to keep my itch for a new phone away

CM10 unofficial
I have always been a CM fan from my OG Droid days.
For backing up I tend to allow google to keep my apps up to date after a fresh install. (I feel like google owns me at this point anyway) I dont use Titanium much now. I do back up my SMS messages though with SMS restore.
For the Inc 2 i think CM9 is fairly fast, has FFC, is mostly stable, and i WAS able to tether with the stock app. A good option
But I use CM10 consistently at this point because 1. It is visibly faster than CM9 and 2. I am now hooked on google now. Its pretty awesome even though i have seriously considered reverting back to CM9 for the FFC (google hangouts and skype video calls worked for me well)
I would check out aeroevan's v13 kernel and 20120821-unofficial for a good option.
Okay I now a lot about Android but I'm lost for a second now what is ffc ?
Sorry I got it now
Okay so yes I just need to have everything backed up with my stock Rom
Anyone ever used uniflash ?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
CM
If you want absolute stability and everything to work (including proper audio and camera) I would recommend cm7.2
If newer features like google now matter more, I would use cm10, aeroevans build is getting very good. Some issues with audio, with some workarounds, there are details in dev forms here and on rootwiki.
I still use cm7.2 because the audio is perfect, which is important to me, and the battery life is far superior at this point.
Thank you sounds good!

I think they're still calling this JB because the only new feature besides the camera is bluetooth low energy, I'm sure there's got to be code optimizations and other small things, but those are apparently the only new things.

Well it has been a while since I have been here but figured I would give everyone a little preview. Also I need 5 testers who have sprint service and 4G LTE that can test for me since I am on cricket service. What I have is an AOSP based 4.4.2 MIUI!! Please send me a PM if you want to test. First five who reply will be able to test. I also have one extra spot for someone who has followed my MIUI work and I will shoot you a PM about this.
If you don't get enough testers PM me. I don't have 4g at home and won't be back to work until Tuesday to test those functions but I would be happy to help if needed.

You have working 3g and 4g data?
When you installed you only had one dialer? The posted zip should have miui dialer (not working) and an aosp dialer. The stock SMS/MMS worked for me see pic below. FYI Google xda lg g3 keyboard. Works great on this ROM. Also try out WSM tools along with the mi-tools module. This is a mini version of xposed and works well also.
