Would someone be kind enough to upload the mms.apk from the ICS leak to this thread? I lost mine trying to install a replacement (stupid, I know, I know). I'd really appreciate it. I'm using GoSMS right now, which works fine as a replacement, but I'd prefer to use stock.
Thanks so much.

nighthawkundead is right man, if your reread your post you'll notice that your first line is a question, thus it belongs in Q&A. He's not trying to be a douche, he's just warning you because usual people get flamed for posting in the wrong section
Go Sms is much better than stock. Anyway
I understand. Not that I really feel the need to defend myself but I figured since this is the developers thread it would be an appropriate spot for such an inquiry. Since the developers generally have their hand in the system files I figured it would be an easy place to have this answered. Maybe you can understand why I decided to post it here? I don't really see the 'harm' it has done. If it's such an inconvenience to look at it then just don't, ya know?
If you flashed through CWM, you could just use Root Explorer to extract the apk from the flashable zip. If you used Odin, then you could download the Odin files and extract it from there. If none of the above would work for some reason, then you could dl the leak from some thread on here.....then extract.

I appreciate the response, Javier. The problem is that I used SuperOneCLick to flash the ROM. I'm not really sure how to extract from that. I'll see if there's a way.

I'm not trying to attack you man, all im trying to do is help keep this forum clean. When you post here like that it makes people think that you putting up a modded version of the ICS MMS.apk, if you refresh the development forum you'll notice that your the only thread that doesn't start with (dev) (rom) (how to). All i'm trying to get across is that your question would be answered just as fast if it was in the Q&A section, and actually it's probably more suited for the themes and apps section. Sorry if you felt like i was trying to bust your balls over it tho

Only reason I clicked onto this thread. Was disappointed.
also to answer your question, it may not be the fastest method but you could just download this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566820), then unzip it and locate the app in the /system/app move that to your phone and use a root browser to place it in /system/app.
No, it's cool. I do understand what you were getting at... and you're right. I just wanted you to understand my way of thinking. No harm, no foul.
I'm still at a loss of how to get these files. I now have the mms.apk but I think I still need the mms.odex. Is there any way of extracting these files from the SuperOneClick file? I'm trying but I'm not really getting anywhere.
All is well. I've gotten both the mms.apk and the mms.odex now. I appreciate everyone who helped and I'm sorry for any confusion about where I posted this. Many apologies. No mal intent.
To the powers that be - you can delete this thread.

WARNING!!!!!! I am in no way responsible for any damage or problems that may arise from doing this to your phone! You must have root access and that voids your warranty! Well kinda voids it if ya know what I mean.
So I've spent some time trying to figure out how to flash a voodoo kernel to my Mez. Well I figured out a very simple way to do it!
First download the EC10 ulv Voodoo
Second mount your phone as mass storage and move the EC10 ulv.zip to your phones SD card. Best if you put it in the root directory.
Third head over to the android market on your phone and install "SGS kernel flasher". The icon is a penguin in a blues brothers outfit sitting down.
Fourth open SGS Kernel Flasher and click "CHOOSE KERNEL" Find the .zip you placed on the phone and click it!
Last but not least your phone will reboot and do it's thing. Just wait and it will get you back to the goodness. "You should hear a ladies robotic voice telling you that it's setting up the lagfix.
All this in 5 simple steps! I hope this helps anyone who was used to the simple 2.1 root+lagfix and has had trouble installing or understanding the XDA Dev instructions.
AndroidTipster said:
I can't seem to find a solid thread on how to put a lagfix on my phone for stock EC10.
Would be great to have one thread here for us to use with clear instructions so some of us don't get lost. Most of the threads have bad download links and toss me from thread to thread.
Or am I just missing the proper thread completely?
Edit: I got it, and It's made it stupid proof!!! I grabbed the EC10 ulv Voodoo renamed it to update and flashed it with the SGS Kernel Flasher app I got from the market. It worked the first time and was effortless!

Hi all.
Perhaps this is a newbie query but here you go.
I've been flashing stock rooted OTA's from the beginning, and always chose Odexed over Deodexed I suppose because of file size. Now, I'm looking to diversify and have the ability to theme etc.
Can I flash a deodexed over an odexed rooted 4.53.651.1 OTA with out data loss?
I assume I can just wipe dalvik, and cache then apply yes?
The specific thread I'm referring to is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17642327&postcount=1
As I'd like to incorporate this with out flashing an entirely new rom. I'm cool with stock rooted goodness.
Thanks!!
This is not a question board
This is not a question board. Might want to post that HERE
I don't think you can flash a deodexed over odexed...reason being the deodexed ROM will just overwrite the current files without removing the .odex files from the system...
But you could probably get away with it it you wiped System, Dalvik and Cache (keeping Data) before flashing the Deodexed ROM. I have always wiped System before flashing a ROM just as a precaution but I believe flashing a ROM already does that.

Excuse bigdee. Some people just get frustrated with the fact that people post questions in the development section when there is a questions and answers section the same place one will find development. Others assume people read the forum rules and investigate the forum structure before posting. I wouldn't say he was moderating, more so informing you of where to post questions so threads like these don't end up where they are not supposed to.

Can anyone please post on this thread on how to install a Rom on a Samsung Infuse? I have downloaded the current ROM for it and do not know how to do it. I have found some directions on YouTube but to no avail. This would help others.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318160
And this belongs in the Questions section.
What ROMs are you referring to exactly? All custom ROMs are flashable through CWM recovery. The "official" gingerbread leaks from przekret are only flashable through Odin or Heimdall. Directions for both of these methods already exists in infuse general and infuse q&a sections. I would suggest a google search with something like this:
Code:
site:xda-developers.com samsung infuse how to install ROM via Odin
It'll tell google to ONLY search xda-developers.com for your search term. The xda search sucks (IMO).
yo have to root the phone and have CWM instaled then you can flash what you want....and this is not a development question...please post in right section
I know but seemed like I wasnt getting a good response so I decided to quickly ask here.
I am referring to SGH-I997_I997UCKL2_UC_ATT.RAR
I promise I will remove soon and put in the correct section to help others with similar question.

If that is the leak from prezkret thread, you'll need to extract the rar and there should be a tar.md5 in there (if memory serves). You will need to use Odin to flash this on your device so being rooted is not necessary. Put your phone into download mode, connect it to your pc, fire up odin and put the tar.md5 that is within this rar into the pda slot. That's all you'll need to do.
there is a tar.md5 this really helps. thankyou

@OP - Did you get it figured out?
I couldn't find anything based on an Unroot thread, as well as some generalized questions.
SOMETIMES, phone devs, and the carriers, put out patches that actually correct some ugly known issues. Correct me if i'm wrong, but if i root, i'm led to believe i can not download carrier patches and updates.
My concern is If I root and there's by chance some JESUS patch that is issued that corrects reception issues, power cycle, etc. Is there a way to unroot the device.
First post by the way, go easy.
Edit: OH also, I forgot to mention, from what im reading around 2.3.6 seems to be the current version out for at&t however i'm only on 2.3.5 i've tried pushing the update by checking through settings>updates. It's telling me however that there aren't any available? Or did they pull the update for some reason?

Yea, I haven't been around that long but stuff like this is crap. How do you install a custom ROM? I don't know, go READ how to, that's what the rest of us did. If someone needs to make a post asking how they shouldn't be doing it in the first place. It's one thing to be new and need to learn, it's yet another to have to make posts like this which clog up our forum and why we now have three ICS threads in the General section.
I'm sorry if its inconveniant for you to just answer a simple question. Yet people like you keep these types of threads going. I was simply asking which packages to install as there are many outthere. You dont need to be a complete d*ck. If you dont want to help like i said in my first post, im not forcing you. Dont bother writing if you are just writing to get a higher post count. I do not have a bunch of time on my hands to go through 50 pages of threads in order to understand which files to use exactly, hence why i asked. I did not ask HOW TO FLASH A CUSTOM ROM, if you read the question at the begging i meerly asked WHICH files, or atleast was trying to ask which files i should flash.
Feb 15
You can use the new version as well. I just updated mine to the new Feb 15 edition and the face unlock works fine
Make sure you got CWM via NVFlash.
Go to recovery and wipe data and format system.
Flash Initial ICS ROM.
Then flash ICS Google Apps.
- Hopefully that's all that you need to go ahead and flash it.
Here are the lates one google apps from the 15th. Also make sure u wipe dalvik and cache then data, and then flash rom and gapps. I always let me phone sit for about 10 to 15 mins after done flashing then i sign in and after i reboot again. Just to make sure everything works fine. I always do HArd reboots (Keep holding Vlme UP+Powerbutton) Always works for me. Then again everybody phone is diffrent so yeah. so Good luck,

Thanks guys! I installed it successfully with everything working
Camera works flawlessly at 5mp (did not bother trying 8 but even at 5 takes much better pictures than 2.3 GB imo) face unlock works too! I did have it overheating, then i installed Faux 0.49b3 oc/uv kernel this phone is a beast! holy. I was planning on selling and getting a sensation butnow imma hold on to it!! thanks everyone

Pay no attention to them. XDA is full of dicks. I've never frequented a forum that's more hostile to noobs, people who post in the wrong place, etc etc.
I'd rather have noobs asking questions that could be answered with a search than a bunch of dicks spending half the thread *****ing at the noob when they could have just answered the ****ing question. Or at least directed the noob to a post that answers their question.
I just tried to download it and put it in my SD card. I installed it in recovery mode, and now my phone is stuck on the LG screen, it won't even go to recovery mode when I switch it off.
u probably flashed with Clockworkmod. In this event, download the NVFlash one click. Flash your phone with a perma clcokworkmod (if you want to return it for warranty you can unflash it again with teh same tool) , then download and make sure the MD5 are the same as the ones posted online! you probably downloaded a bad file. Go to RootzWiki and download that
NVFlash will not work on my 64 bit OS. It keeps on opening windows command prompt and closing.
worked for me :/ 64 bit
Can you link me to the download and instructions on how to unbrick this piece of junk?
