[Q] Can we replace the vanilla Gingerbread MMS.apk with the HTC one?

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...

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. :/

You only need to reset the launcher last time I tried it.

[MOD] Remove HTCLoggers and all associated files from any ROM

Not gonna bore ya too much.
Here's the file: http://www.multiupload.com/PNIVVGPEBZ
Should work for HTC EVO 3D too.
Here's an article with more info: http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/10/how-to-easily-protect-your-htc-evo-by-removing-htcloggers.html
Enjoy

Great work swagstr, thanks. I removed the logger stuff by TIbackup, but I'm not sure I got everything. This should solve that for me.

Thanks man, I was wondering exactly what files had to be removed lol

thanks for this!

Is loggers the only one dangerous? I know the how to I used had me delete like a dozen files and then the boot.Img mod which you helped me with. Your script only takes care of the logger stuff.

Can it be done via root explorer
my blazed up 4g

Yeah theres a lot more then just that. Treve has a nice article to read in the 3D section, it goes real deep into the jar files and everything

ok, so i didn't use this method but i did remove the loggers (via root explorer). now my phone constantly asks me to choose between the sense launcher & go launcher ex? i check to make go launcher my default & it still does it. anybody else? advice?
thanks.
p.s. i also get the htc.loggers force close pop-up occasionally...that's normal, right?

thanks for this!

If we're running an AOSP ROM like CM7, aren't the offending files already removed?

Exactly why I haven't touched this thread in awhile. TrevE is the man when it comes to this stuff. Plus, the latest OTAs for OG EVO and EVO 3D removed HTC Loggers.

Was loggers the hotspot snitch?

I find THIS TOOL invaluable in removing everything that I do not want in my ROMS.

I've heard about this tool but I've never used it. Seems a bit complicated in that you have to flash stuff before flashing rom, and after. Also once you run the program everything is gone completely. I like having control using root explorer to either move or delete the files that way if something does go wrong I just add it back onto my phone and change the permissions. Maybe it's just a lack of knowledge.

Hi,
It's a lot easier than it seems,and speeds the installation process up.
Perhaps , it's not for everyone,but the [OP] stated removing bloatware ,which it does in seconds.
It takes a while to configure the initial user text file,but once you have done it, you don't ever have to do it again.
And you only have to run it once after flashing the ROM.
It takes 30 seconds to run.

How do I know which particular bloatwares to remove? I'm new to android. Less than a week old.

Hi,
Have a look at what is included in a basic ROM,by looking at THIS USER TEXT FILE.
You will also see guide alongside it showing what each one does.
Make sure you have notepad++(google it).

I have tried all I can but still can do the bloatware removal. I have rooted, enabled SU and I have installed root explorer but I don't know what to do now. The root explorer gives make access to the ROM but I don't know what to remove and how to remove 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...

The problem is that it is a sense ROM lol

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

Hi,

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.

it is probably is giving you that message because you need to add product_specs for the pyramid.If you can give me a link to what setup guide you are using i might be able to help you but I have may not have enough free storage to help fully.

This is the documentation that I used to set up the system.

And in what step you are now? Do you compile kernel?

I couldn't find the init.rc in etc folder of cm9, so I couldn't build the kernel.

You will have to decompile a kernel to get the init.rc file. I use dixda's Android Kitchen to do this.

I rebuilt the kernel from cm9 kernel's init.rc, but I still get the error.

I got all the tools and stuff installed and went through all the other stuff in the Porting guide you posted a link to. But when I run the command, ANDROIDFS_DIR=my_device_backup ./config.sh <device_id> default.xml" I got the following error.
Code:
Get tmp_manifest_repo
error: revision master in manifests not found
Repo sync failed
It is 7:07 in the morning and I have not been to sleep yet so I am going to go to bed and try to figure out what the issue is with the manifest this evening.

Ok the problem is I do not have a tmp_manifest_repo folder in G2B so now I got to figure out Wu I do not have one. Do you have this folder in your build folder?
Also if you need me to I can give you detailed instructions on what I did about the init.rc file.

Usually, that folder is automatically generated, and default.xml is placed in there.

Yeah that is what I said when I understood hat the error was. The first thing is suppose to do is generate tmp_manifest_repo Folder and its contents. Maybe it was just a fluke and it will correct itself when I try again in a little bit. I only tried it once this morning and I was to tired to try again after setting up long enough to find the cause of the issue.

Has it built yet?
