I'm not a huge fan of the HTC messaging app an I'm kinda missing the vanilla gingerbread one. Anyone know a way of installing the vanilla one without root?
I've downloaded the mms.apk but the HTC app is installed under the same name so you can't uninstall/update it without SU. Is it possible to somehow repackage it as a new application that would run separately?

It is a sense thing, but on any 2.2 Sense rom you can remove the HTCLockscreen and the original one will appear in its place. It works, but you can't use it for controlling Sense applications (music, calendar, sense alarm clock).

You have a couple options. If you have EStrongs file explorer and root and read/write turned on go to /system/app/ and delete htclockscreen.apk. or you can flash the attached file. this removes the HTC Sense lockscreen and just leaves the vanilla. If you use sense apps like alarm they wont work properly so you should download an alternative from the market like open alarm or AlarmKlock

Actually the alarm will work as long as you use the asop clock to set alarms...
Just wondering if there still isn't anyway to use the vanilla lock screen to answer calls yet?
oh i know i can just remove the apk, but oh god i hate the Vanilla lock screen... blah yuck.
ok first thing you'll say is the iphone style is nearly the same.
nope, it isnt is my answer.
You can also use widget locker on the market. it has an option for iPhone style screen unlocker.
Widget locker.....

Im trying to use vaelpaks new rom but I all I really need is the htc messenger because I hate the stock messages. Is there any way someone can give me a zip file for this please?
Im willing to donate.

Exactly what i am wanting too. Would also like the htc messaging widgets if possible

If it's an AOSP ROM you won't be able to use Sense applications
Vael always puts side by side apps in his roms. Look in the vaelpak extras folder using root explorer or similar program. The HTC mms.apk(its the entire app even tho its called mms) should be in there

Is there a way with a rooted s off phone running cm7.0.3.1 to get support for iPhone emoji? I don't care about typing them, I just want to view them
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
iphone sucks.
IPhone does suck, I agree. But its annoying to see a bunch of boxes
Sent from my EVO shift 4G running CM 7.0.3.1 via the XDA app
you can install handcent for your messaging app and then install the handcent emoji plugin and can view/send them
Ahhh. Ok, I already have handcent. Ill get that. Thanks a bunch. Any way to extend that to other programs?

No Prob, I don't know of any way to extend it. Would be cool though
Go for GoSMS. It's the best sms app for Android. It has plugin for Emoji plus sms folders.
+1 for GoSMS
as for extending it you can try using the UOT Kitchen to make a theme, you pick which elements of the theme you want or don't want, and I know emoji is an option. not sure what they have though cause I like the stock Android ones. hope this helps.
If you're rooted, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690781 for a way to get black-and-white emoji fonts.
Emoji Handcent Help
So i have handcent and plugin installed i can see the emoji send to me from iphones but they can't see what i send. I have tried to send as MMS and SMS only VZW Iphone can see them as MMS anyone have a solution or possible better app/program ... please help!!!
I don't really want to start a war of the texting world. But what are your preferences for texting apps and why?
Hand cent, GO, etc.
Thanks all. Just want friendly discussion.

AOKP has a stock ICS SMS app that has Emoji. I love it.

Although it has a large footprint like Handcent, GoSMS is terrific for a lot of reasons. First, it has two plugin downloads for emoticons/Emojis. It comes with standard happy/sad/confused faces, but one plugin adds elaborate faces, symbols and icons (probably close to 300) and are much more detailed. The second plugin adds something like large vector art.
And some may be asking "how can my recipient get these things in their messages if they are not supported--or if one of these items turns the message into an MMS?
Well that's the most nifty thing about it. It had a service that is linked to the app which routes it around their servers and straight to your recipient as a data-based MMS. In other words, even if you cannot typically send MMS because your APN is wrong or whatever, this app makes sure your texts get through...essentially it's an SMS-over-IP service. Plus, your recipient does not need to have it installed.
Lastly GoSMS can be infinitely skinned. I am not sure what Handcent can do, but I use images for the background of my conversations list and my actual conversion (which can be customized for each recipient). It also scans all other apps for any fonts it can use, and offers them to be used as part of the UI..

I prefer GoSMS. I don't like the stock sms client and originally used Handcent until it started force closing all the time. If this had not start happening, I would probably still use handcent. GoSMS is highly customizable which I like.
I'm using the inverted AOSP Stuff out of this forum from he_stheone64. Because it's look very smart and clean for me and it's much easier to handle than this htc sense stuff..
thats my opinion why I had chosen them.

Would it somehow be possible to use HTC Contacts / Dialer app on other Roms like CM or AOKP? I like the app very much, but do not want to retain Sense just for the contacts app.
No chance mate, the app relies heavily on the sense frameworks which are closed source

It is possible to do smething similliar by "de-sense"ing a ROM, which means removing most of it's sense apps. However, since it is essentialy the same ROM, performance and behaviour will be the same.
Also, the People app had some dependencies, such as the dialer ("Phone") App. You can try removing the Sense launcher (Rosie) and installing an AOSP based one, but it will essentialy be the same ROM.
