Trying to get SecMMS with bubbles to replace my current MMS apk. Renamed it to SecMMS.apk and moved to system/app. Changed permissions. Still wont install. Tried naming it MMS.apk also. Im running TW 4.1.2 Goosh rom. Any suggestions? Thanks! I have attached the apk I am trying to install.
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you dump it in /system/app, change permissions to rw-r-r, then reboot?

It's not something you install. It is an apk, but you don't need to install anything in /system/app. You would drop it in, change permissions, and reboot. Try wiping dalvik/cache too.
Is there another MMS apk that is more customizable? And can do quick reply? Im finding they either have one or the other. Either the boring stock bubbles with 4 styles/colors or no quick reply. And I want to stay with the stock messaging app.

I was running liquids rom but I didnt like the results I was getting with francos kernal so I switched back over to Gummy's rom.
But I really miss the feature in the stock sms app that could change the vibration settings... Is it possible for someone to extract that apk and upload it please Its the one with a blue icon instead of a green.
THanks!

You still have the .zip?
Just pull it from there.
I'd do it and upload but I'm at work.

You can't install it.
Move it to /system/app/ with root explorer.
And delete the old one.
Then long-press it and change the "permissions" to match the other apps in the folder.
Reboot.

I just installed Paranoid Android ROM and I'm really happy with it but I'm missing the stock email as it's the only one which seems to play nicely with my work exchange server.
I've tried Air Droid and K-9 but they just won't connect, and I don't want to have to shell out on Touchdown.
Has anyone got the stock email apk they could upload for me? Thanks

You may have to fix permissions.

using a file manager like Root Explorer or EStrongs, browse to the file in system/app, open the properties, and change the permissions as rw- r-- r-- (see screenshot)

Anyone know where I could find a flashable ZIP for inverted apps that would work on Sonics GS3 ROM? Mainly looking for an inverted app for the MMS app to match his theme?
All the inverted apps so far are for aosp roms. A lot of the apps work on touchwiz, but might take some tweaking to get them to work. I am currently using my own inverted cm9 mms.apk on touchwiz and its working fine. I have attached the apk Im using, you can replace the stock with it using root explorer or something.
many of these can be installed or pushed. Zips may not work due to epic touch scripting

What exact steps should I take to get this on my phone? I went into the system apps folder and only found SecMms.apk. I went ahead and renamed that one to have as my backup in case. I took the file I downloaded from your reply and renamed it to SecMms.apk and set the permissions. I rebooted but now I am not seeing any messaging app in my drawer? I did then try opening the SecMms.apk and installing it and it wont let me. Am I doing something incorrectly?

I did switch the new app to match the other apps in that folder RW-R-R. I am suppose to be renaming your app you attached to SecMms.apk correct? because I dont see a Mms.apk in system/app, just see the SecMms.apk
nevermind i got it man. Thanks again
Hello,
I installed a custom ROM and I flashed gapps, but I am missing the exchange e-mail app. How do I get it back. I tried installing the apk from the system image and that didn't work and I tried pushing it to /system/app/ and that didn't work either.

Change the permissions of the email app so it matches the other files permissions in the /system/app dir.
And ya i noticed the same thing, wonder why they left it out.
I tried that and it doesn't work.

It should work, try again with these deodexed files and set the permissions to rw-r--r--
I'm working on a themed aosp 4.2 keyboard. It would make my life a whole lot easier if i could just install the keyboard as a regular app, but when i try is won't work. What would you need to edit in a system app so that it will install normally without having to move it to system/app and rebooting
Well if you could explain the error....
this is SPARTAAA

For example, if you were to uninstall say the android keyboard that comes bundled with a rom, then you were to extract the apk, and try and just install it, it won't work. The only way i know of getting it to install is to put it into system/app and reboot. So i'm asking if there is a way to edit system apk's so that you can install them regularly.

Never mind I figure it out. I just had to merge the resources file from the new app into the original then resign the original
