You can replace the one in the Cognition Zip with one from the ASOP ROM before installing.
I attached the one from the ASOP_froyo_cm6 ROM.

If you've already installed cognition, just delete /system/app/Mms.apk then place the aosp Mms.apk in /system/app/ and reboot. I was successful using those steps.

Whoops! I need stock mms.apk

Hello,
I was trying to replace the touchwiz mms application with an AOSP mms. Something went wrong and of course I forgot to back up my original mms.apk. I have tried to install AOSP mms.apk's off the forum but I can not get any of them to work. I am putting them in the correct directory and the permission are rw-r-r but still whenever I click the messaging icon the phone just vibrates once and then force closes. Could someone please post preferably the AOSP mms.apk that will work on the GS4G or if not that one just the stock mms.apk that came with the GS4G. Also, any tips on how to get it to work would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks as always!

What firmware version are you running? And are you running the Odexed or DeOdexed version?

Here's stock samsung KC1 deodexed version if thats what you need.

I am running stock, rooted kd1. I should just be able to drop the.apk in the app directory, right?

I just dropped this one in and it works, thanks a ton! Now that I have mms back, does anyone know of an AOSP mms.apk that works with this build?

Stock Camera.apk on CM7?

I tried just replacing a camera.apk for my showcase and now it doesnt show up. Can anyone post a stock camera.apk to put on 2.3.4. The one that comes on cm7 doesnt have autofocus and looks like crap.

It does have autofocus....and photos look just fine...

Looks like im not going to have a camera for a long time.

What is keeping you from reflashing

Here is the camera from CM7. Just past into system/app with root explorer.

you could go into the zip file of the rom and get the Camera.apk at any time, no reflash needed for one small file. Just always make sure to set the permissions to rw-r--r-- for anything in /system/app.

[Q] Stock Sammy SMS Messenger?

Ok, so I know I might be in the minority on this, but is there anyway to get the default/stock Samsung messenger for the Charge? I'm fairly new to all of this & am running a custom rom that has the AOSP messenger.
I liked the Sammy messenger over GoSMS/Handcent/Chomp, so if there's a way to find the APK, it would be much appreciated

you should be able to rip the stock mms.apk out of one of the stock debloated rom .zip packages, it'd probably be better to match froyo with froyo (EE4) and GB with GB (EP1Q/EP1W)

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it won't let me install the apk. I've downloaded & unziped imnuts rooted stock rom (EE4). I transferred the mms.apk file to my SD card & tried to install using ES File Explorer. But every time I try to install it I get a message saying that it was unsuccessful.
Do I need to bring over the mms.odex file over too? Or maybe the mmsporvisioning.apk file?
I do appreciate the help though

First things first. Are you on stock or on a ROM? If on a ROM which one?

if your on gummy charged, all my themes have a themed stock mms. i like sammies better too.

I tried out GC 2.0 & the cool themes, but right now I'm on Humble 1.62.
As much as I liked the themed messengers in GC, I still liked Sammy...simple, easy to read & hassle free.
Thanks guys

Thanks Gunner. So I should be able to just drop the MMS.apk file into the system folder & that will allow me to install it?

mount your file explorer of choice (Root Explorer is recommended but Super Manager is a nice free alternative) as read/write then yes drop in /system/app and you should be golden though it might require a reboot to take effect... I should have mentioned this in my previous post as this is what I meant, it probably would've saved you some time

Tried that, but it won't let me paste the MMS apk from the EE4 Stock extract. Just says it can't be moved. Still won't let me do it....maybe I'll just have to get a diff messenger, though I really didn't want to go that route.
Appreciate the advice anyways

GunnerMike almost single handedly created/ported all the themes for GummyCharged. He knows his stuff and plays his part with style for the dev team behind GC. If he puts something down take faith that he has cause to do so.

Ok, first off, thanks for all the input guys. I really didn't intend for this to turn into a mini-flame thread regarding roms. I just wanted to know how to get back the stock sammy messenger & I was finally able to do so.
Using the Humble 4.22 CRM zip, I deleted the MMS apk that came w/the rom & brought over the apk from the stock roms. Flashed the edited rom & violla! Done & done
Thanks again for everyone who offered input & suggestions. I just couldn't install it via file explorers or just trying to install the apk itself. Just a shot in the dark, but it worked & I learned something.

AOSP Themed Dialer for Sense 4.x ROMS

So I downloaded the Holo Light Sense 4 theme from the Play Store, but the one thing sorely missing from the skin was the dialer. I searched around the International One X forums and found the SenseCream theme by fisha21 (all credit to fisha). I pulled the phone and htcdialer apks, placed them in the System folder, changed permissions, changed the name of the htcdialer.apk to match the existing apk, delete the odex files for both and rebooted. Beautiful IMO
The OP claims that the theme should work with all Sense 4.0 ROMs, but I can't guarantee it will work with all XL ROMs. Tested with Xi40 which is based on a ported International One X RUU.
I'll update later with the thread link and apk downloads (the mobile app is a pain), but for now a teaser.

Very nice! going to try it now
EDIT: Works but you must delete the stock apps if running a Odexed rom or it will cause issues. But yes works great!
If you want, i can make a flashable zip so it works on any rom with out issues.

Oops, forgot that step in the OP. Also X, did you rename the htcdialer.apk? I did, but forgot to state so in the instructions (I have updated the OP now). If you did not rename, I assume the dialer while in phone calls will remain as stock.
By all means whip up the installer. Will make it easier to flash after installing a ROM update.
