[Q] Missing default messaging app - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI guys ,
I rooted my note 2 to get some tweaks going but instead i ended up losing my default messaging app. What happened was that i tried to install cyanogen-mod messaging app which didn't work so i decided to uninstall it , when i did that it somehow took my default messaging app with it which i do not understand at all. My question is if there is a way i could get it back ? Google didn't help much.

Try my copy. I overwrite all my ROM's stock messaging app with this one, always works for me.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87523367/SecMms.apk
As you probably know, put in system/app with correct permissoins, install by clicking it through your root-enabled file manager.

The part where you said as you probably know is not quite true coz I installed the cyanogen mod messaging app through cyanogen mod install manager which is available at play store.The whole thing was a misunderstanding coz the messaging app doesnt really work on stock roms which I found out after the mess up. If you could write me the step by step to follow that'd be wonderful. Thnx for the reply pal
Regards

Appreciate the help but when i was trying to paste the other messaging apk file into the system/app folder it found the original messaging app there which i never thought to check , i know silly me.
Thnx tweeny and the rest

May be Try YourSelf
How? Explain pls.
I allready tried it the copy/paste way with setting permissions, it ended up by having NO SMS App.
Explain how to port it, and ill do it on my own.
You could try installing the app like any other app so it replaces the one in the system
Bear in mind that a lot of stock apps and functions aren't available on custom roms
I installed 4.1.1. Messaging App on the play store and it's for free, works like a charm and is now my main messaging app.

[SOLVED] Stock mail and messaging apps / CM10 messaging

Can anyone point me in the right direction for where I can find or extract apks for the stock Android 4.1 mail/exchange app along with the messaging app? I've given it a day but I'm not a big fan of Samsung's. The calendar is pretty bad too...
I tried flashing the CM10 messaging app but it didn't work, I assume there are other dependencies that it's missing, though it's supposed to work on stock JB devices. Has anyone had any luck with it?

google "GAPPS" for stock google android apps or you can google 4.2 GAPPS for the lastest 4.2 version of GAPPS
CM10 apps only works on CM10 based ROMs, all of us are using Samsung based ROM's.
Cm messaging on the market.

GAPPS doesn't include the mms or exchange apps. I'll try extracting from another ROM.

BUT, try TextSecure. It has a few extra features that you can ignore, its about as close as you can get to stock that im aware of.

Hmmm, yeah I see its not there anymore.
Alright this was a bit of a pain but I figured it out. Here is the stock Exchange app that worked, and here is the stock MMS application (threading is working). For posterity I've also attached them as uploads.
Uninstall the existing apps using Titanium Backup or by manually nuking the MMS, SecEmail, and SecExchange apk and .odex files from /system/apps and then flash these via TWRP or CWM. Next is up is contacts and calendar
CM10 Messenger App
This CM10 mms apk from the Note 1's Liquid Smooth ROM seems to work flawlessly. Popups and threading are all working correctly. I extracted from the ROM itself, but here's the apk itself.
Same deal, nuke the stock mms, move this to /system/apps/ and install.

Yes I too am having fc's while sending mms. Went back to other attached mms.zip and works perfect.
sent using gNote II.
Confirmed I also have force close when sending an mms.Bummer.
This one works flawlessly so far. SMS, MMS, Emoji's, etc. Enjoy!

Unbelievable, I must have tried ten different versions.This one works flawlessly - thank you so much!
Edit: nevermind I just realized it's stock and not the CM10 version with popups. I think I'll roll stock with the SMS Popup program though and call it a day. Thanks again.

[Q] E-mail APK

I have the boost mobile s2, which I'm told is exactly like the samsung epic touch 4g. I am rooted and am on a custom rom (pacinblack). I am trying to install a mail apk file someone linked me to that also has a widget inside this app. The file is email.apk. I also have es file explorer. I downloaded the file and I long pressed the file (in es explorer) to install it. It said it installed correctly. I then reboot my phone and go into my app drawer and widgets and there is no mail app. Am I doing something wrong??When I go into settings-apps and when I look in the download section, there is no mail app, but when I go into the all section I see something that says exchange services. Is this the e-mail apk I am looking for. When I press on this, it gives me two options, to forcestop or diaable?? This is called exchange services and has a picture beside it of mail, so I figured this was it. Does anyone know why this is not showing up in my app or widget drawer?? Does this apk file have to be in a particular folder on my sd card or in systems? Someone told me in the other forum that to put it in systems-apps. I tried moving it to there but it wont move there and when I try, it changes the name of the file but leaves it right where it is?? I have root access enabled on my es explorer so that is not the problem. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. I am seeking help in this forum because the other forum is not that active and there doesn't appear to be any active developers there. Thank again.

Is the email.apk compatible with Pacinblack? What I mean, for example, the email client in JV is secemail.apk. You may have an incompatible email.apk. I tinker with my system apk's all the time. Just copy your email.apk that you currently have in system, anywhere. Then long press the one in system file, delete it, then cut and paste your friends in there. If it doesn't take, just put your original one in there, but if it's compatible with Pacinblack, which I believe is jb, it should take. Good luck.

Touchwiz secmail.apk won't play nice with aosp. The solution is to download a ROM or gapps package that includes the apk you want, and copy/paste it to /system/app

Thanks for the responses. Like you said, I'm surprised pib rom doesn't have a native app. Do you have any idea what that exchange services is under settings-apps-all. There's a little mail icon next to this. If that's not for email, does anyone know where I can get the right apk mail file for the pac in black rom. Maybe I have the wrong apk for this rom. I was looking on the epic 4g rom developer thread but couldn't find the file and I couldn't post on that thread to ask.

When I installed the pac in black rom, I also installed the gapps file with it. How do I know what jb gapps to pull the apk from? Isn't there certain gapps for a particular rom? Also, when I have the file, how do I pull the apk file from it, I've never done this before. By the way, thanks for the help in trying to assist me in getting this mail app working.

I am looking for a native email app that has a widget so I don't have to open a app to see my emails. I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago, previously I had the HTC evo v with a custom rom the had the email app I am looking for now. Can you direct me to which jb gapps are compatible with this rom and which gapps is likely to have the email app I seek, thanks.

[Q] Hangouts on 4.4.2

While hangouts was nice when it first came out, I find it irritating now. The real pain in the azz is that it is the stock messenger in BeanStalk 4.4.2. No MMS.APK file is included. Does anyone have an apk that would be compatible with this version? I have several 4.4 ROM's. Didn't know if I could extract that apk and use it.

I don't see why it wouldn't work! If you have an apk that was used in a previous 4.4 build then lace it in the system folder and it should work fine!
should work fine

any messaging app should be fine, I used Go SMS and other apps with no problem.
by the way, there were few recent updates to hangouts and they improved it, I use it now, so I suggest you will update to most recent version through google play and try again.
Good luck!

Thats the thing. 4.4 does not come with an mms.apk file. 4.3 was the last build that had one. And when I put it into the apk folder and try and run it, it force closes and my current messaging app fk's up.
Just download messenger

Stock 4.4 Camera

Hi,
Can someone please upload the files of the stock 4.4 Camera?
I´m on PA and I want to replace the AOSP Camera with the Stock one.
I searched the existing threads and I found this, but didn´t work for me.

Tried also like this, with ES Explorer but when I copy it into /system/app and restart the apps are not recognized.
Also if I try to install them, I get an error.

Thanks, I get the same as with the previous one.
I was on PA and there I got the errors.
Now I´m in 4.4.2 for a while so I have the stock one, but when I go back to a custom rom I´ll retry.
Thanks to everyone!
It won't work with es file explorer you need to use root browser
