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.

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.

Thanks but I didn't need a tutorial. Just stating what happened with the stock android mms.apk. The CM mms.apk works fine with my sms but does not send mms .
I know it isn't possible to copy and paste the apk from AOKP to Stock 4.0.4 rooted due to some sort of signature. My question is, how can I make it happen? Any all input of helping, non-sarcastic manner will be much appreciated.
If your trying to transfer the AOKP version of MMS app to the stock 4.0.4 then you better make sure that they are compatible!!
Certain apps need certain things in the ROM system to run it. And the stock may not have that. You could try it though (its not gonna hurt your phone) it just will probably force close. If you want to know how to get it then this his how!
Step 1: Get apk file!
Step 2: Connect phone to computer
Step 3: Transfer APK to phone
Step 4: Disconnect phone
Step 5: Open ES File Manager (Get if from Play Store if you don't have it)
Step 6: Find your apk (make sure Unknown sources is enabled)
Step 7: Install it!
And thats it. I hope this helps out a lot!!
Cant be done. You can push it to system/app fix permissions but will not send the text. FC after.. Opening it, going to settings works but not sending. It relies on framework i believe.. Neither cm or aokp mms.apk wont work.. You could use the market ones but one has ads and the other mms is broken..

Correct... due to framework restrictions it will not work properly but quite sure you can find a ROM with AOSP parts that's stock based

Interesting, so it can work if you find THE ROM?? which one?
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.

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.

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.

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?

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 .
Hi,
I could successfully install mms from CM10.1 on Sense 4.2.2, there is only one feature that is not working..
When I try to create a shortcut to direct sends sms to someone, the application opens but the TO field is empty.. Anyone knows how can it be fixed?
I choose to use this mms app because of it's layout and quick reply dialog..

You must clear data of mms apk from Application Settings and delete the mms database - > go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telepohony/databases/ and delete the mmssms.db file. Reboot and mms sending will work.

This is really strange, I have never had a single issue. Did you use the exact procedure?
Maybe you can try mms apk from the ge edition first. I used the one from ARHD GE 2.0.

I used the exact procedures with different MMS apks (AOKP and CM10.1). Are they the same or different? I'll research first. I know it's weird,
OK, so this may not even be the result of running a custom rom because it hasn't worked with any of them. When I click on Voicemail which isn't setup yet by the way, all it does is send me to my messaging app. It gives me no options to set it up, or check voicemail.

The icon for Visual Voice mail is tied to the Messaging app.
I need to edit the messaging app to rid that icon. for now just use the feature to "hide" it in the app drawer.

Okay, I put it in place of the null file in the app folder in your flashable zip and after re zipping it it failed when flashing

Don't unzip then rezip. Use a tool like 7zip and drop it into the zip. It failed because by unzipping, you broke the signature

exactly what Ty said.
I am expecting my phone back today, and my first project is Aroma..
so bare with me.. (not you Ty)
I will be getting the ROM to where I am comfortable with calling it a full non beta release.
Only reason it's beta is because I don't have Aroma set up yet, once that is set up, it's game on.
you will be able to re-flash the ROM.zip pick "MOD only" and then select JUST the .apk you want (NO you can't remove apps, use root explorer for that, I think S-OFF takes away write protection but I have no idea yet, if not, then, well, we will need to get used to that .zip that deletes files (it's quite easy, once you try it out and everything)

I forgot to come back and post a thank you, it worked great after I placed the apk into the zip and flashed. By the way, I've run every rom available now for the phone and keep coming back to yours, I appreciate your work.

I removed the Visual Voicemail application. It can be added back.
The icon for Visual Voice mail is tied to the Messaging app.
I need to edit the messaging app to rid that icon. for now just use the feature to "hide" it in the app drawer.
of it you want the app, pull it outta the bloat.zip

Have you had any luck ridding the VVM icon and whatever else from the messaging app yet. I had a nasty issue related to the new VVM.
I will spell it out here in case anyone else has this issue.
So i like always update my phone when updates come out.
The new VVM has some addition network elements tied to it on the back-end.
Long story short this 443 update has created randomly dropping my mobile connection. I tried re flashing the radios, the stock rom, going back one radio version, etc. I mentioned this in a post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one/help/wifi-bluetooth-mobile-data-wont-off-t2883253
I don't believe it is anything we have done in here, but the issue was with exclusively mobile data where it would disconnect but still show 4g, anyways back to the VVM
I had to revert to 442 stock rom as it didn't have the disconnecting issue
Since i already ran the newest 443 VVM app with those additional features, the 442 VVM fails with error code 2004 when on a 442 ROM
So i had to be coy when calling VZW to get them to reset this. Lucky they didn't ask SW/HW versions, so basically they had ' reset the network elements ' associated with the newest version. WORKED!
So if this happens to you , all i said was it came down as an update, i didn't like it, and reverted back and now it does not work, etc.... I tried to find the newest update again but cant find it.
I was wondering how the VVM icon still there after removing the APK, that answers that. I tried to load the newest VVM on 442, and epic fail lolz
Just providing some info for everyone

Foolish me, this is so very simple, I just forgot that you have to do it on a 100% clean flash, you can't use a flashable.zip as it is an .xml system edit.
system/customize/resource/allapplication.xml
basically you edit this .xml just search for "voicemail"
you will find this line of code
Code:
<item type="application" packageName="com.htc.sense.mms" className="com.htc.sense.mms.ui.VoiceMailTabActivity" display_order="200" display_hide="[B][COLOR="Red"]0[/COLOR][/B]" />
change it to
Code:
<item type="application" packageName="com.htc.sense.mms" className="com.htc.sense.mms.ui.VoiceMailTabActivity" display_order="200" display_hide="[B][COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR][/B]" />
to be quite honest though to save yourself A LOT of time, just hit the menu button in app drawer click hide apps and hide it, that is what this MOD does anyway...
