How to restore system apps - HTC ChaCha

Dear xda members,
How do you restore system apps like the lockscreen when you already deleted the apk and didnt make a backup?
I Removed the stock lockscreen and now when i recieve a phone call it only rings and doesnt show the call id any more. Who knows how to fix this?

Ask nicely if somebody could upload the file here for you, but you need to state the name of the file you deleted.
Was it Rosie.apk?

It was lockscreen.apk. I placed it back but still i get some sort of slide lockscreen instead of the ring? Do you know what i did wrong?

Stock Message .apk and .odex

Hi i deleted mine thinking i can rely on hadcent app only but apparantly handcent needs the message app,
i receive the notification of a new txt message but when i go to handcent to read it, its not there in the conversation....
all i need is for someone to pull the message.apk and .odex file and upload it for me to download if they could be so kind...
thanks
Here you go. This is from Fresh Rom.
thanks but this is not what im looking for, i attempted to get the messages.apk and .odex file from all the roms available and its not there,
if you or anyone have droid explorer and can navigate to /system/app its in there and its called "messages.apk" , thats where i deleted mine from
I think you only need the .apk. The .odex will be built once it gets some configuration data.
ok cool, hoping someone takes 5 mins out of their day to pull just the apk file for me
sorry, i was trying to help out but....
the FRESH rom doesn't have that .apk it uses a "mms.apk"
so i'm going to try to get this posted for you, but
that will require me to recover back to last week before fresh, then pull the .apk and then post it then nandroid restore back to today..
if anyone is running a stock rom then they can pull it. otherwise it will be about 30 minutes..
ok cool thanks ill be patiently waiting
alright....
these files are from my stock-unrooted phone
i couldn't find a "messages.apk" but i grabbed all these hopefully you can make it work.
the only thing i can think of is that the MR update "fixed it" by replacing the stock messaging app. that makes sense right?
View attachment m.zip
edit:you could always flash the RUU and get them back.. or flash a nandroid backup from before you removed them.
got it working, it was the mms.apk file for some reaons it is labeled messages in droid explorer, lol shoulda tried this the first time around, not 4 or so nandroid restores later thanks guys =)
i just happened to have the same problem..
thank you so much for posting the apk. and odex..
u guys are a life saver.. ^____^
stock messaging app on htc inc
how did you re-install the stock messaging apk? when i try to do install it it acts like its installing then it just reboots and it does not install... i use to be able to receive pictures (mms) but now i can't receive at all. someone please help meeeeeeeeeeeeeee! thx i have the apk's on my SD card does it need to be on my phone in order to install it? sorry im a noob at this.
if all else fails (i did the same thing because i wanted a better stock messaging app) you can install go sms. its basically the same thing as handcent but i think it looks more professional.
it actually asked me if i had uninstalled the default messaging app and told me that if i said yes then it would just make itself the default so that was nice and simple =)
good luck. if not permanent this can just be a quick fix.
if someone finds a stock android messaging app that has bubbles please tell me =)
thanks
Mine says application not installed, omg, I accidentally deleted the Original Messaging File from my phone and I tried installing yours, but it says Application not installed. What do I do D:

[Q] My dx won't recieve picture messages

Hello everyone,
As you can see my dx won't recieve picture messages. I am a rooted user and have done lots of research and it mainly leads to the fact that I deleted stock messaging. Supposedly the stock messaging controls the mms receiving. My friends wil send pictures and I won't eveb know until the next day when they ask if I got them. So my question is does anybody know why? And if it is from the fact yhat I deleted stock text, can someone please post it on here so I can dl it and recieve mms again.i
for some reason they take a lil while to come in . but they eventually do. Did you press down on the message and select download ?
Check if you can send the mms's if not you gotta sbf...same thing happened to me
I am pretty sure the blur sms/mms is needed for pics....unless using aosp sms/mms. Though I could be mistaken.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I'm thinking since I deleted the stock messaging apk that is why I can't recieve them. I don't even have the option to long click and stuff. They never come to my phone. As tho it had never been sent but my friends have showed me where they sent them and it never showed up on phone. I am currently looking for updated stock messaging apk file so i can try and dl it and figure out if that was my prob
somtime sthe rooted rom has problems with mms, try using a differnt texting app like Handcent sms which allows you to customize and activate your mms. or it could be your baseband.
I've tried both chomp and handcent and no luck. Now ive found the deodexed messaging apk for my version and when I go to install thru root explorer it says "application not installed". I've copied to system/app folder. Mounted. Changed permissions annd still no luck. Anyone know wutttt else I have to do to reinstall this apk? Please help

After you put it in system/app/ and change permissions you gotta reboot (not try to "install" it).

Ok I jus put in...changed to rw r r and I rebooted. Now wut? I still cannot send or recieve the pictures? Do i need to apply a deodexed Messaging.apk intot the system/app folder? And after dropping it in there all I do is unmount and reboot...right? That is what u are saying isn't it?

Titanium Backup help

Hey guys i need some help, i want to install a fresh rom and just want to restore my Texts(sms) and contacts, any idea how to ? i try restoring SMS but it never comes back, but if i do the whole restore, i get my texts back
Thanks, BTW i got the pro Version
The trick is to find the CORRECT file(s) to restore. For example, I use Handcent for SMS. So I restore the Handcent app & data and then all of my SMS comes back.
Note: in order for you to see your contacts after restoring them, you need to reboot. (At least I do!)

Have you tried restoring the mms.apk data? I know you need that file to send sms so maybe they are stored there. If you type contacts into the edit field it should bring it 3 or 4 .com options restore data in the first or second one and reboot and your contacts should be there,j just did on my girlfriends transform but cant remember which one I restored get contacts with.
For the future it is easier to export your contacts to your sd card and download gosms to backup your sms

I'll try that and let's hope it's the right file.

Recent logs question

Is there any way to get the logs tab to show just phone calls? I know I can filter with incoming, outgoing and missed but can I have all 3 at the same time. I have no idea why they thought putting messages in the logs section was a good idea....thats what I have my messages icon for....
nothin, no one??
Remove SMS and MMS from call log.
Seriously, is there a fix to remove sms and mms from the call log?
I know the custom roms have found a way to remove it,
but Im not ready to take the plunge on one of the custom ROMS's on this phone just yet.
My Samsung Epic did the same thing, and there was a fix for it posted on XDA... Thanks k0nane.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1011678.html
Ill dig into that fix tonight, and see if I can find a way to fix the infuse...
Why cant Sammy just roll it out working...
While on the "Logs" screen, touch the menu button on the bottom left, and choose "View by". The default is "All logs", but if you choose Missed Calls, Dialed Calls, etc, it will only show the calls, and not your text messages. (I apologize if this is what you were already talking about when you mentioned filtering via incoming, outgoing and missed).
I'm running on the Infused ROM, so I'm not sure if this is just a feature for the ROM itself.
SOLUTION - Will Confirm after I try tonight... Thanks h8rift and gtg465x

Your thoughts were correct. Move the Refuse LogsProvider.apk to a stock ROM and it will work.
Hello,
I am running the stock rom on my girlfriends Infuse 4G. (she is not quite ready for a custom ROM yet, this is her first Android phone.) I want to fix the sms and mms logs in the call log, and had the same problem on my Epic 4G. To fix, we modified the Logprovider.apk in the system file.
I am downloading the Refuse rom now, and was wondering if I extract that file, and root explorer to the correct location in the stock rom, and overwrite the stock logs provider.apk, if you think that would work.
I have her rooted, modified 3e recovery, and clockwork installed...
I know others in the forum were looking to fix this on the stock ROM.
Please let me know if you think this could work, if not, could you modify the stock logprovider.apk to not include the sms and mms in call log.
I really appreciate your help... If you can help! I wont hesitate to give you credit for the fix in our forum posts.
Thanks Again!

SOLVED - Call Log - MMS/SMS Deleted on STOCK ROM Thanks h8rift
Ok, I got the SMS and MMS to not show up in the Call log... Running UCKE3 Stock Froyo ROM.
Its pretty simple, even a noob can do it... Thanks for the file h8rift
*Must be rooted, with root explorer or other file explorer that allows system access installed. ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE CHANGING SYSTEM FILES, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED PHONES, OR LOST DATA.
Download attached Logsprovider.apk (taken from the Refuse v1.6 ROM)
copy file, and place on the root of your SD Card.
place sd back in phone, and boot phone.
when fully booted go to root explorer, navigate to the External SD Card and copy the Logsprovider.apk file that you just copied to there.
mount system as r/w so you have read and write access.
press back, back, go to system then app and paste the Logsprovider.apk file
yes to overwrite the logsprovider.apk already on phone,
VERY Important, also delete Logsprovider.odex while in the same folder.
reboot the phone, and enjoy NO SMS or MMS in your call log.

Hi
I have HTC One S s4 rooted s-off running MaximusHD ROM. I was wondering what would happen if I delete/remove stock apps such as dialer and messages and replace them with others app. Would I still receive messages textos and pictures? It will make stop SystemUi? Broke my phone?
Thanks

Its not like YES or NO.
if its compatible with the build, not actually running and necessary for android will not crash, and you set the right permissions for new apps it CAN work. If you simply want trial-n-error ist most cases it will be --> ERROR
So if you're not fine with the rom at all may be you just try another one?
I have deleted Stock.apk and a lot of widgets. My phone still works as usual.

Sure, i have cleaned my system alot, too.
I said
"not actually running and necessary for android --> will not crash" But you asked for systemui (Thats really necessary) also if you delete messaging app, you cant receive messages of course...
And the point is, that if you'll ever perform a factory reset --> you'll probably have a problem if the basic feature apps have been removed before...
>.<
I didn't remove the stock message.apk and I still use it. Btw what other thing I can delete on MaximusHD ROM without crashing the phone and break ROM?

There's a long list of stuff you should not delete but also a long list for stuff you can don't remove systemui or anything that looks like you shouldn't be touching unless you know what your doing
