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.

Mhm, you need to adb push the MMS.apk from a stock build.
I think i should make a nandroid backup and mess with it.

Yeah, always nandroid first.
Either take the MMS.apk from a AOSP one or find one attached on the forums and place it in your /tools directory of the sdk and push it
Or try out Handcent SMS
Attached is the AOSP Mms.apk for 2.1
I'm using it and it is indeed faster than the stock HTC one. Also, I recommend trying out ChompSMS or Handcent, as they are equally as fast and provide more features/customizability..
I'm using the AOSP Mms.apk and the lag while typing is completely gone.
I thought it was a problem with the 2.1 ROMs, but it's really just HTC's Mms.apk in their 2.1 release.
how did you guys do this? i am using fresh 2.1.1 and i just tried to do this but it didn't work. i removed the original fresh 2.1.1 mms.apk and adb pushed the mms.apk i found on one of the posts above. i saw the aosp vanilla messaging app but when i tried to open it, it was force closing on me each and every time. so i had to revert and push the original fresh 2.1.1 mms.apk back in there and everything is working fine again. am i missing something here? are any of you using fresh 2.1.1? or are you guys using something like darchdroid 2.7?
EDIT: i removed both Mms.apk and Mms.odex via SDK and adb pushed the Mms.apk grabbed from a few posts above and everything is working great now! thanks folks
thanks guys, i got it, i really appreciate the help.
Is there a way to change the black theme on the conversations list to a white theme? I like the white theme in threaded sms view, but I dont like how the page before that is a black theme.
And also, is there a way to get the SenseUI style SMS preview underneath the lockscreen arc with this? That is the only thing that has been keeping me on the SenseUI Messages app...
I'm running nfinite's stock deodexed ROM.

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?

[Q] How do you add system apps to MIUI

Before using MIUI I had only primiliary used TouchWiz based ROMs and on those TW ROMs I could just drop a system app apk into the /system/app folder on the phone and reboot and it would be installed and such. I could also swap out apk for example if I wanted the browser from Heinz_57 TW ROM instead of the MIUI Broswer I would just swap them out.
Is there a special way to do it or can you not do that at all on MIUI?
Are you setting the permissions. On CM7. You have to set the rw-r-r and reboot.
Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize
Also keep in mind it's unlikely you'll be able to use tw based apps on aosp roms.

system/app from Galaxy Nexus (AOKP ROM)

I still have my Galaxy Nexus for a little while so I figured I'll upload the system/app folder from it.
I'm running AOKP rom on it so I'm not sure if that causes any issue or if it affects the system apps

EDIT: I'm posting this because I see lots of people asking for stock ICS apps...
??
I think he's posting it in case some people want to try swapping out some sense apps for aosp ics ones.
I miss AOKP

Hi thanks man i have installed some off the apps from this but not all off them work..
Like >.
1. Contacts
2. Calculator
i copied and pasted them in to /system/app/
and know i copied and pasted them in to /system/app/app and see what it dose ill update this post in few
i pushed Calendar.apk (renamed it to Calendar1.apk so it wouldn't overwrite the stock version), GoogleCalendar.apk, GoogleDeskClock.apk, Email.apk and Exchange.apk to /system/app. i also made sure the permissions were set as rw-r--r--. all were accessible after reboot. unfortunately, i couldn't edit/modify all of my calendar events with the ASOP calendar versions. email and Desk Clock worked on my device without issue.
How can we install the stock ics phone app?
Is it possible to have ICS folder instead of this HTC customized one?
The folders are built in to the sense framework. The only way to change them is using a different launcher.
Yes,I suppose So.
Has anyone tried the email and exchange apps from this?

[Q] I want my apps back!

I recently flashed CM10 on my samsung galaxy s3 I've lost s-memo and other stock applications in I would like to know how I can get them back with the apks i have

Have you tried to install the apks? If so what happens?

You can try pushing them to system/apps but I dont think they will run. If you want the stock apps stick with a stock ROM.
As i understand it...Stock apps are usually Odexed. Custom ROMs are De-odexed. Difference? Odex is the part loaded to the dalvik cache to help make the phone boot quicker. So the phone maker separates the APK into two files. The apk and odex. You cannot just run the file with the APK alone...you NEED the odex. A custom ROM would de-odex the files and they are combined into one. It WILL NOT run odex files. I have tried on a few ROMs on the bionic to get it to run stock apps in a custom rom if i included the odex. Still wouldn't work. If you can find someone to compile the APK and ODEX for you it may work.

Edit: plus many apps on this device like the weather clock are tied to touch wiz. You cannot use them outside of it. Even on another launcher with the stock ROM (nova [my fave], apex, go, etc)
If you want stock bloated apps use a touchwiz rom.
Good luck
