EDIT: I realize that I messed up the title. I meant to write if we could replace the current HTC messaging app with the vanilla one.
Title says it all. I've gotten used to HTC's way of things but I'd really, really prefer the vanilla experience. Since we don't have S-OFF or custom AOSP roms yet, can we at least replace the MMS.apk on our Sensations with the vanilla one?
Bump. Does anyone have a clue? It's apparently been done on, for example, the G2. I'd really rather have stock messaging app.

No one??? Maybe I should repost this in Themes & Apps.
No u can't cause it won't stick cause u can't write to system anyway

Thanks for the answer. I guess this is another reason to anticipate S-OFF!
Right.....
Or how about you just install it with a file manager. Then disable the notifications from htc messagin app

I followed these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11050253&postcount=2 and used the Mms.apk provided there, which should be the 2.3 vanilla messaging app.
Everything went fine when copying over to the phone, etc., but when trying to actually open the app on my phone it force closes from the start. It does show the vanilla mms.apk icon though, the green text bubble with the smiley. If I could get this to stop force closing and actually open/work, I'd be happy!
I'll get you a link to one.

It's not gonna work. U can't "install" it. U have to put it in system
Yeah you have to copy it to your system apps with a file explorer...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
If you have Root Explorer or any other explorer, then try to copy and paste it to /system/app/ and reboot the phone. Hope that helps.

Won't work ppl. We don't have perm yet. I don't think it would work even then if I remember correctly
It should work as we have temp root which last till the reboot. And if not then you cant just use adb to either install or push. There should be ways around this. :/

I found this on the http://techland.time.com/
So i dont take credit for this so i posted the whole page please in joy.
Unless you own one of the five phones that support Netflix's new Android app, Thursday's announcement was worthless.
But thanks to some clever folks on Reddit, Netflix's petty device restrictions needn't apply. With a rooted Android smartphone, you can trick Netflix into thinking your device is approved for streaming video. It's not a perfect fix -- some users can't get it to work -- but it'll do until Netflix officially brings its app to more Android phones.
The first thing you'll want to do is root your phone. You can look up instructions for specific devices at xda-developers, but keep in mind that rooting is not supported by warranty and could turn the phone into a paperweight.
Still with us? Now, follow the instructions, as posted on Reddit:
1) Download ES File Explorer (Or any other root file editor)
2) In ES File Explorer, go into Setting > Root Settings and enable both check boxes
3) Navigate to /system/ and copy/paste build.prop to /sdcard/ (just in case)
4) Open & edit /system/build.prop
5) Change the following lines to make your phone think it is an HTC G2:
--ro.product.model=HTC Vision
--ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
OR
--ro.product.model=Nexus S
--ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
6) Reboot the phone
7) Install the netflix apk (if you haven't already)
Enjoy
I haven't tried this myself, as my only Android device is a Droid Incredible, which doesn't require extra hoop-jumping. Obviously, you work around Netflix's obstacles at your own risk, but the ability to tinker is one of the reasons you got an Android phone in the first place, right?

Interesting, I've tried searching for the netflix app but couldn't find it on glacier. The author seemed to think you could download it first then do the process. Have you used this method and tried to find the app after changing the build.prop?

I edited the build.prop and used the Nexus S, Samsung build (reboot), but on mine I only get a black screen, audio is working for about 5 to 8 seconds, then it goes back to the movie list.. no FC message... I was thinking maybe this is because I'm using a custom kernel + custom ROM? Are you guys using the stock kernel?... I also have a HTC G2 (supposedly supported), but on that phone I only get an audio and white screen...

MT4G + CM7 + Faux's BFS LV kernel
2.0 but the official app won't work. You have to us the mod app I posted above.
Can the netflix.apk be modded itself?
inside the apk, there's a folder called "lib" and inside lib, there's a folder called "armeabi"
which lists
libnetflix_device1.so
libnetflix_device2.so
libnetflix_device3.so
libnetflix_device4.so
libnetflix_device5.so
libnetflixmp_jni.so
can a device6.so be added to the apk to add the mytouch?
or maybe one of the given, be edited?

I am pretty new to HTC, I just moved over from the Vibrant. Do these app require the phone to be rooted before it can be installed or just installing the apk will work. I know with the Vibrant, you have to copy the files to the system directory. But in order to get there, I needed to root my phone. Is this the same thing?

Unless they've been altered they will require root. They may also have dependencies that don't exist on our altered systems. I took all the apps out of the posted stock roms on the dev board over the weekend. The only one that would install was sound recorder but that was installed via htc sync and it wouldn't work.
So far the only app I know will work is the car panel but I'm not sure where that even came from since I heard it was left out of the euro s4g too.
Title says it all, can someone please pull it and post it here. I was messing with it when i was stock and i liked it, and now i am using trickdroid and it didn't come with it.
I would greatly appreciate it

Might need Sense framework. Try pushing to system/app just in case. There is a price to using a non-Sense ROM, even for the Sense haters (and I am one). I'm stuck just to keep the Sense Camera app...

If you can't get it to work, Energy ROM has movie editor in it.
If anything pull the app from Energy ROM, put it in the place it in the trickdroid zip system/app and flash it again.
Push there, then click to install from root explorer sometimes works for me

After pushing the apk in /system/app, you may try restarting your phone. That's what i'm always doing after i push an apk there. Works everytime.

Off topic but make sure you set up the app to sync your notes online. I just ran into a problem this morning where the file the notes are stored in got corrupted for no particular reason.

Download any Sense ROM that has those apps you want. Open with your favorite Zip program (7zip, winrar, or even root file explorer on your phone), navigate through the folders to the apk you want, copy/paste or just move it onto your storage card. Install app like any other sideloaded app.
The only possibly issue you might have would be with the libs, but the more experienced guys can help you resolve that, if it even becomes an issue.

can you give me better steps to doing this?
The easiest thing to do is just copy it to your root of your sdcard. Then open up Root Explorer and navigate to sdcard on your file tree to access your files there. Find Camera.apk, hold on it until the copy option comes up. Hit the back arrow to get back to your internal card file tree and navigate to "system". Under system you will see a folder called "apps". Select that....touch the R/W option to get out of read only then hit "paste" at the bottom. Leave Root explorer and use your new camera. Simple as that.

i would add a step before you paste and that would be to click the original camera app and rename to camera.app.bak or something along those lines so if you dont like the new camera you can revert back without having to reflash the rom

It would seem like a very good possibility. It ought to be pretty easy to give it a whirl without it disturbing anything else. Just make sure & set your permissions before leaving your file manager.

Im sure it "could" if we had a JB Sense ROM. AOSP lacks the proper framework files to run a Sense camera. So either dont do it, or make a nandroid for when it fails.
I guess i could take the liberty of making this flashable though. But my thing is, who to contact for permission and credit for this camera, the thread linked isnt even the original thread, so i would think its safe to post but DEF got to give credit
