[Q] ISO someone who knows how to view and edit apk. Strange issue... - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

So going on the basis that every phone is different I've been struggling with this issue and I'm tired of using my work around, and I need someone's help.
Every ROM I flash (AOSP only) when I send someone a picture message it arrives on their end "blank" Now when I say blank, it is marked as 1kb and the preview in the MMS is a white box. If they save the attachment it is fine and as intended in the gallery...
After flashing every AOSP ROM with the same results I assumed it was my phone and nothing I can do about it.
UNTIL I flashed JusTun Bean's inverted gapps package and VOILA! It worked just fine... and I have no idea why...
Whenever I flash a new ROM I now put the inverted MMS in the system/app folder and install it until I flash another ROM.
So what I need is if anyone has ANY ideas or is able to view the two MMS.apk files and see if there is a difference that stands out I'd be super grateful.
The AOKPMms.apk is the JusTun Bean's Inverted that works.
The AOSPAMms.apk is the ParanoidAndroid Mms that I'm using right now that doesn't work.

[Request] Stock MMS app with emoji support

Looking for a complete stock MMS app that isn't themed with emoji support (like the cm10 one that was recently released). Anyone have this available? I use another ROM atm and emoji support isn't supported right now, and I prefer the stock look.
Mods please close thread. I was able to solve/find my request.

Please share it with us ...
Alright what I did was downloaded the cm10 Kang fits made and found the mms.apk in the system files. It works perfectly for bamf paradigm, but I can't confirm for any other Roms. This is cm10 work so I take no credit whatsoever for it. I would like to also mention I did this with a toro/verizon device so I can't verify if it works for GSM (even though it should).
How to install:
Using root explorer, go to system > app and find your current mms.apk and rename it to mms.apk.bak (do this step in case the new mms doesn't work, so you can rename your old apk back just in case.)
Move the downloaded apk in this post to the same folder which is system>app folder.
Restart your phone and it should be installed and working.
Edit: forgot to mention that once the MMS is installed to turn on emoji support under the MMS settings in the bottom. Any questions ask away.
It doesn't work on stock JRC03C, force closes.
Hopefully people don't get upset about me replying to an old thread but I used the above Mms.apk and found that it didn't have CM10's "Quick Reply" so I copied over the emoji pngs used by Gja88 into the newer CM10 MMS app.
Since this was the only thread that I could find with the non-Android-ified emoji I will put up my Mms.apk too. This has no Android creature emojis (instead they all look like the emoji on the iPhone) and it has CM10's QuickMessage feature.
Thank you Gja88 & CM10 for the original leg-work here, please read Gja88's earlier posts. I have only tested it on my LTE GNex running CM10 M2

[REQUEST] Help with APK testing from someone on a 4.2.x ROM, please :)

Good day all,
I've got a little thread going with some themed versions of the new 4.2 DeskClock app, and I am looking for anyone who is currently on any 4.2.x ROM who can help me with some testing. I am still on 4.1.2 as I can't take the plunge myself quite yet, so I am not able to do this myself yet.
I am looking to confirm that the theming I have done to the DeskClock APK's doesn't cause any issues with the function of the app. The AOSP version of the APK has some issues when running on 4.1.2, but I am assuming they are not present on 4.2 since I haven't seen anyone complaining about it. I also want to confirm that the flashable ZIP file I made is 4.2-compatible.
The ZIP file here (View attachment 1523414) contains a semi-transparent white version of the 4.2 DeskClock. You are welcome to inspect the contents as well as the updater-script to confirm this. Nothing nefarious. I ask that you try flashing it and help me answer 3 questions:
1) Did the flashable ZIP work? You can confirm by installing the analog clock widget and seeing if it is now semi-transparent (or a fainter white depending on your wallpaper). I can make a ZIP to get you back to stock after that, or if there is a style in the OP you like, and I will make a flashable ZIP for you.
View attachment 1534986
2) Does the new digital clock widget work on 4.2? When I try it on 4.1.2, I get the display error in the screenshot below, even the stock unthemed version. Sadface.
View attachment 1522550
3) Does everything still work? Alarms? Timers? Widgets? No weird FC's when exiting the app while a timer is running?
If anyone is willing to help me with any or all of the things above, it would be greatly appreciated!! You can post here or in the thread over in the Themes & Apps sub-forum, I'll be checking both places
weekend BUMP! any help is appreciated!

"Service not available" when retrieving or sending picture messages. This seems to be random. With a fresh install it will either produce the problem or it won't. This is the best solution I have for this rare bug.
If messages aren't sending or even appearing when you send them go into settings > more > set "messaging" as default app.

[REQUEST] AOSP apps package Android L

I've been using the Android L port and I'm loving it. The only problem is that I hate all the official google apps. Plus the ROM only comes with Google photos. I really want to put something together once the ROM is more stable (although it really is good right now) that includes aosp style apps.
Does anyone know where I can get the apps? Can I just pull them from a custom ROM? Or can someone put together a zip that has a few aosp apps? I'm mainly thinking browser, gallery and a file manager, but suggestions are welcome.
EDIT: I was able to pull the apks out of another ROM, I chose the latest (7-20 at time of writing this) CM11 and put the files where they should be /system/app and I changed the permissions to match other files in the same location. Then I rebooted to recovery and wiped both caches. File manager (CM File Manager) and gallery worked fine, I can't figure out browser though. I found an app on the play store that was an AOSP Browser installer and tried that too, but browser keeps crashing on launch. So if anybody knows how to make AOSP browser install please enlighten me.
Thank you.
