Ah-ha, I had this exact problem!! And I solved it like this!!
1. Delete ALL APN's from your device!!
2. Input the APN settings from O2 (Here: http://mobilereviews.o2.co.uk/devices/device.jsp?deviceId=651&tab=8&step=2&settingId=3201 )
3. Press so the green dot is selected (This APN will take care of Internet Access AND MMS, no need for 2)
4. Reboot your device.
5. When your phone starts up again, go to Messaging, Press Menu and go to Settings
6. Scroll down to Custom User Agent
7. Select iPhone (3.0)
(Optional) 8. If you are using Handcent (or another SMS App, you will have to change the User Agent in there to match).
PLEASE NOTE!!
If you are using Handcent, you may not be able to download MMS pictures via Handcent itself. If I receive a MMS I need to go to the Stock Messaging app and download it via that!!
Hope it goes well for you and let me know if it works!

I tried LOADS of APN's (including ones which came with various ROMs) and the one from O2 is the only one I have had to work.

Hi Mate
Instructions seemed to work ok but its a bit of a pain that you need to download the mms manually in the stock app first
not sure why the download button within Handcent doesnt work!
but none the less, thanks for the iphone 3 tip
cheers

[GUIDE] Replace HTC Messaging App With Vanilla Messaging App [Easy]

(BackStory)
This is how I installed the Vanilla Mms App on my G2 Running Desire Z ROM. No risk if you back up your ROM using ROM Manger,
there are many guides on how to do this.
THIS WORKS ON ANY ROM​
Hey guys! I was just looking at the "HTC Sense" Messaging App for the Desire Z ROM and basically I noticed.. it sucks..
Its really bulky and some parts of it don't fit on the screen... (Although the Desire Z ROM Is the GREATEST!)
I wondered if it was possible to extract the "Vanilla" Mms.apk and install it on the Desire Z ROM... So I booted up Vanilla on my G2 and did the work.
This IS possbile! And It works GREAT!
Apps Needed:
Mms.apk (Download Link below)
Android Mate/Root Explorer/File Manager/Linda Explorer, (Pick your Favorite)
Terminal Emulator, you can alternatively use adb shell
Obviously, a rooted phone
Installation: (Fool Proof)
Download my Link Down there, Mms.apk
Plug your phone into the computer and tranfer the file on the root of your SD card
You will now be removing your Mms.apk app from your ROM; Back up if you think you're gonna mess up;
Preform A Nandroid backup using ROM MANAGER, there are many guides on doing so, find them.
Go into Terminal Emulator and type in the following:
**note in some ROMs it will be called "com.android.mms.apk" so check what the name is before you type that in**
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
rm /system/app/Mms.apk (or com.android.mms.apk)
If your Text messaging app is running, it probably will force close.
After uninstalling, reboot, if F/C occurs, do a simple battery pull.
When your device reboots, it should no longer have the "Messaging" app installed!
Through your favorite file manager, move "Mms.apk" to /system/app/
Now, go through the installing procedure like you would any app.
It should now be installed, reboot the phone, CONGRATULATIONS
Taddaa!! The next step is to enjoy your new Vanilla Mms on Htc Sense (or any rom)
You may tweek the app how you want; change the color through settings by pressing menu on the Messaging app.. etc..
Disclaimer, I am not the person who hurt your phone if you mess up, you are. Do a back up, nothing can be harmed unless you delete other files besides the Mms.apk.
This Mission was success!
The APK File that is attached IS Working as of NOVEMBER 21 2010; It has been fixed!!​
***ATTENTION: THANK YOU TO WHEELIEST FOR GETING A BETTER APK***
Ignore every comment that says Force/Closed, the APK Attached has been fixed and works perfectly!​

Nov/20 WORKING! Good to go!
This works Seamlessly! Everything works and It looks perfect!
*Don't Forget To Do A Battery Pull after Uninstalling and After Installing The MMS.APK

Awesome...thanks so much!!

Keeps forcing closed... had to restore backup..

try what OP stated?
It Force Closed my Messaging App. (If It doesn't, even better)
After Un-Installing, do a simple battery pull and reboot your phone.
When your phone starts, the Messaging app should no longer be there. Good.

followed directions and installed, force closes right after i send a msg. did this install right after a fresh rom install

the Vnilla Mms.apk keeps force closing is what he means

are you suppose to move the Vanilla Mms.apk into system/app then find it / install it either via root explorer or ADB?

Not Working?
Hey Guys! Sorry its not working for you I uninstalled it to see if it was tainted, but I can install it and send/receive messages perfectly.
As far as I know, there are no changed settings on my phone. Sorry. I don't know what can be done... Everything I did was right in the directions. Try contacting a more experienced person to this Thread to see if they know whats going on.
Sorry Again..

When you go to install the mms.apk it says that its version 2.1 android. That might be the problem.

works great
thanks alot

If you just place the mms.apk in the system/app/ folder it will work with no problems.

oh, thats right, my version is 2.2 on vanilla rom.

Working?

Hey, UnSungHERO, are you saying it works with MY Mms.apk and with my method?
I already have it, but can you clarify for my and all of us on how to do it?
Thanks. Did you delete the originally Mms.apk file that came with the phone? Or did you place it in the folder and overwrite it?
Does it recieve/send Sms/Mms successfully?

i tried it as it was instructed. Mms.apk installed and worked but would force close after sending and receiving texts. I deleted that apk pulled the MMS.apk from CM and that works fine. Give it a try....more options to boot

Hah, the messaging app is one of the things that I didn't like about the DesireZ Sense ROM. Oh well, I'm not happily running CM! Glad there is a way around it though, thanks for posting!

Nice that was one of the things I disliked about sense. Can this be done with the dialer/contacts

Sorry for the vague post. But yes, I was referring to your method. You should definitely delete the stock sense mms.apk beforehand. I actually haven't sent any messages since replacing the apk. I just tested it and found that the app force closes when I attempt to send messages. SMS messages are sending still with the FC and MMS are not. I'm going to try the CyanogenMod mms.apk since it was mentioned.

Need help w/CM7 and voice mail issues... What am I supposed to install? (Sprint)

I flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 on an Evo 4G on Sprint service and now I get text messages that say I need to call 408.970.0000 to get my VM. When I called it I got a recording about having a smart phone with SMS or something or another and I wasn't sure what it asked me but I pressed option '2' and it said something to the effect that it would continue sending me SMS voice mails but that's not what I want. I don't like getting the cryptic text messages and would much rather have the previous VM solution I had. I think it's called visual voice mail or something to that effect.
If I want that back and to do away with the SMS notifications what are my steps?
Can anyone help me out or link me to a how to and how to resolve my voice mail issue?
I found something about a Spring VM apk so do I just need to install this app and if so where can I find the latest one compatible with CM7?
Thanks for the help.

Which topic specifically?
Since posting this thread I kept searching and I've found some threads talking about a Spring VVM apk and I've downloaded what I think is the right file that I may try. Now I'm just trying to make sure this is my solution.

Try the themes and apps subforum. Your answer is there.

We are in the middle of this same discussion on another thread so im guna hook ya up. First, download the two apps i linked below. Then using root explorer or a file manager that has root privileges mount system as r/w and delete the stock CM7 MMS app in system/app folder. Than move the MMS app i linked to system/app. Long click the MMS app and make sure permissions are set exactly like the other system apps, click ok. Now do the same with the VVM app below, move it to system apps and set permissions as well. Mount the system as r/o again and reboot your phone. Go into the VVM app and set up VVM and thats it. You will now have visual voice mail again and no annoying 9016 texts. BTW, the MMS app i posted is from Decks AOSP 1.3d rom(that has the fix for the 9016 texts) and the VVM app is from the 8/22 GAPPS, Enjoy.......

Thanks, I'll try it out soon as I get a chance. I installed an apk based on something I found and it kind of worked but I was getting those annoying 9016 texts like you mentioned. I'll give this a go when I get some more time.

I have not tried that rom but the issue we are trying to fix is the annoying texts you get with every vm from 9016. I know this works with the salvaged rom too. The vm come through on your vm app though? Also, some have had success with the following if the VVM app is not verifying there account automatically. Press menu in VVM and compose a message over 25 seconds long. Send the message to [email protected] and make sure you have either wifi or 3g enabled so it will send. This should kick start it.

Use super private conversation app to block 9016 txt. Spc is a free app.

The part in bold above; is it just called MMS.apk or should I be looking for a file called CM7 MMS? Just want to make sure I delete the right one before I get started here. Also, is this process going to be changed any because I installed the VVM apk before you posted this or will following your steps still yield the same results?

Yes the app you are looking for is in system/app and is called Mms.apk. The icon looks just like the messaging app in your app drawer. If you already have VVM set up and working than just delete stock Mms app and replace with new Mms app and reboot, thats all.

Flawless Victory!
I just wanted to quote this post again for anyone who may be searching for a solution to the same problem. Since I had already installed the VVM I simply deleted the MMS apk and replaced as instructed and it worked perfectly. Thanks again for taking the time to post up the fix and link the files needed.
For the record, I searched and while I found ZERO answers to my problem there were sure a lot of people suggesting to search as the answer was as easy as falling off a log and that wasn't the case. I get SO frustrated when people offer zero help and instead ridicule any and every post looking for help to somehow make themselves feel better. No, the answer isn't always that simple and no you're not helping anyone. If you don't have the answer, a link to the answer or at least first hand knowledge that the answer for sure exists someplace recent then do everyone a favor and move along w/o posting. This forum is made better from people like luist4498 who actually contribute and not people like you who appear only to be around to pad their post count.

No problem man! I dont understand why certain people are so nasty about another asking for help when it took me only a couple minutes to upload and post the files and fix. Go figure, btw, if u flash CM nightlies or re-flash CM for any reason u will have to do this fix again since they install the stock MMS again when u flash nightlies or re-flash rom.

Thanks for the heads up but I'm not one to flash ROMs on a regular basis. I was running MikG v2.3 for months before a got caught in a boot loop which forced me to reflash a new ROM. At this time I looked at what was available and decided I liked CM7 the best and flashed that. Unless something else catastrophically fails or I find a feature I can't live w/o I will likely rock this ROM for some time to come. If I do change it though I will be sure to do the fix and refer back to this thread for a refresher. Thanks!

[REQ] Could someone edit the MMS.apk and add these emoji?

I'm looking to edit the stock MMS.apk, and replace the green smileys with the real emoji that are supposed to be used.
I've tried editing the apk through apkmanager and apktool, both on a PC and mac, with no success, so I'm asking someone to do this task for me.
I have already found the correct emoji.png files, and I've put them into a folder which I am going to attach to this post. All I need [you] to do is put them into /res/drawable-xhdpi through reengineering (apkmanager/apktool)
Thanks to anyone who can do this! (I'm on the 10/5 nightly of CM10 w/ franco.kernel if that makes a difference)

Not sure which version of the phone you have but this MMS has the emoji support http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745830 if you have the GSM model like me you can use the ICS version of his app (unfortunately I couldn't seem to find it just now) I believe there is a stock version of the ICS mms but I won't swear on it. The mms.apk doesn't replace the green androids that you would normally make it gives you the emoji's separatly. Even has a quick support button to get to them fast. Hope this helps you

I found this thread googling for the exact same thing. I can't stand the green emoji and after reading a few threads I finally decided to just try doing it myself. Turns out it was incredibly easy. Here is the latest mms (11/10) pulled from justunbean's inverted apps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797292) with the hideous green emoji replaced with the stock iphone-ish ones. Here is the apk and also a cwm flashable zip of it.

You shouldn't need to use apk manager or apk tool for images just open the apk put the images where they go and make sure they are named correctly.

Yup, thats all I did was open the apk with 7-zip and dropped in the images from an older version.

Wow. Very nice. But I really hate the inverted MMS (to each his own), and you said it was very simple to do, but I spent 1-2 hours on it and could not get it to work properly, so do you think you could do the same with the stock MMS.
MMS.apk attached, from the CM10 nightly that I'm running (11/5 I believe)

Here you go..takes about 3 seconds now that I figured out what to do. For anyone curious you just right click the .apk and open it with 7zip, browse to \res\drawable-xhdpi\ and select all of the files that start with emoji_ and delete them then just drag the ones you want in. The ones I used were from an older apk so all the names were the same, just extract the good ones and drop them into the apk with 7zip.

Yeah.... I'm on a mac... And I can't seem to find an application that replicates these features.

Hmm.. I seem to be having trouble. I've tried replacing my MMS.apk in system/app with both of the .apk files you have posted, but both times, the MMS.apk app disappears, and when I click on it to attempt to install it, I get an error with parsing the package.
Also, I tried flashing your invertedmms.zip, which didn't work and I also used an empty flashable with the non-inverted themed apk file you posted, which also didn't work. I'm going to play around with it a little more to try and find something that does work.
EDIT: I finally got it to work, just had to sign the apk.
***Unfortunately, the apk you had uploaded the 2nd time was actually the same one you uploaded the first time... The inverted one...***
EDIT 2: NVM. Used apk manager to extract/zip/change back to apk, and I successfully have an MMS.apk with all iOS emoji (still lacking the iOS 6 emoji, which will be my next project)

You can't simply install system apps. Try placing it in system/app, making sure it's named correctly (and that the old one is named something different or deleted), setting permissions to rw-r-r, and rebooting. If that doesn't work, there's probably some ROM incompatibility.

Not sure how mine worked then.
What my process was:
1. Download nightly build of CM10 (same version as one running on my phone)
2. Extract .zip file of CM10 rom, and find MMS.apk
3. Using APK Manager, extract apk file.
4. Replace emoji files in drawable-xhdpi as needed.
5. Zip apk using apk manager (now have unsigned-mms.apk)
6. Using this tool I signed the apk file.
7. Use bluetooth and send "unsigned-mms-signed.apk" to phone.
8. Install app from solid explorer.
9. Insert emojis as needed.

That sounds a lot more complicated than necessary, but hey, if you got it working then that's that.

Yup. So I found that rebooting took it away, so I just took my apk that I found that was working after an install and dragged it into /system/app and renamed it to mms.apk
Is anyone interested in me making this an (un)official release in themes&apps?

Any updates getting the iOS 6 emoji added?

I just added the emojis (not iOS6 ones) to the cm10.1 MMS. If anyone wants it I have it on Dropbox.

I'm not sure how I would do this, because I think you need to add some things to the arrays.xml, because when I looked there the code had something along the lines that was
If character=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, then emoji=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
or something like that
I'm not sure where I would find those values for the iOS6 emoji, but if someone knows how to do this, I will gladly go through the handcent emoji extension and find all the new iOS6 emoji for you and give them to you in a .zip.

I'm another dude that hates those green little creatures...I wanted some normal smileys , the basic ones not the extra emojis, and none of the apk in this thread did it for me...so I made one: it is stock with the green smileys replaced with the HTC ones ,the ones used in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40647802#post40647802 .

[Q] Can someone please post the stock phone.apk

I want to import the phone.apk from a nexus 4, i believe the latest build is JWR66Y.
Thanks folks.

when will people realize that MMS and phone.APK are NOT missing from the nexus 7 or nexus 7 LTE models merely hidden due to framework.res configuration settings.
it is and never will be as simple as just installing phone.apk
if you try to install it you will just get a message that says it already exists do you want to install anyways and even then you still wont se it visible in your app drawer.

Yes and no... I am not sure framework.res is the only thing holding us back from having them functional
Anyway what is for sure is that installing MMS.apk does allow you to see the app in your drawer and send txt (Granted because of framework.res we don't get to send/receive MMS, only SMS)

sending text SMS worked fine out of the box with my LTE after installing goSMS,
