[Q] Replacing MMS.apk Question

I'm running Open Soju 0.2.5 on my Nexus S 4G, loving the ROM, but decided I liked the Messaging app from CM7 where it allows white on black, SMS splitting, etc. And since 0.2.5 is deodexed, I thought I would try moving the mms.apk included in CM7 over to my System > Apps folder on my phone..
Successfully moved over, installed and it runs great! Only problem is, every time I reboot my phone the original mms.apk seems to be installed, I have to go into root explorer and re-install the new mms.apk.. anyway to avoid it being replaced upon reboot?
Thanks

Hmmmm maybe remove the stock version, then push your modded version?

[Q] How to auto-download and install all ur apps after flashing (without Titanium)?

Hi.
Ok, so check this out. Every time I flash a new ROM, I need to go into the MARKET and install all my apps (i don't use many, so it's not that time-consuming).
One day, I installed this GO LAUNCHER. When I flashed my rom again, in some magical way, all my apps were downloaded and installed (NOT restored, but re-installed fresh).
I do not know how the Go Launcher did this, since this happens before I even to to the market and install it after a fresh rom. Magic!
In any case, this stopped happening for some reason when I did my last flash (Weapon).
My question is - is there an APP that does this?
Again, i do NOT wish to RESTORE my apps. I wish for the MARKET to download all the apps was using (FRESH install them).
Is there a way to do this without GO Launcher?
Thanks

Whats supposed to happen is that Android is supposed to automatically download and reinstall your apps. The problem is that it doesn't always work. In fact, it has never worked correctly. Its really a hit or miss.
I think the reason is because everytime you do a fresh install of Android, it includes an old version (usually 2 or 3 versions back) of the Android Market. So the first thing it does is upgrade Market and I believe that is where it messes up with the restoring of apps.
ICS has supposedly fixed this issue.

THANK YOU!!!

Best way I've found is to make a backup of whatever rom you are on with all your apps and do a selective restore for the Data only from cwm, should put everything back including your google account.
I've done it many times between roms and have had no noticeable issues, but I can't guarantee you won't.

I haven't checked with a fresh rom install but i believe titanium can now push the updated version of software into the rom.
Meaning on your list you would see two listings of gmail.. The old and then the updated. If you pushed them into the rom and did a nandroid i wonder if the newer version of the app stays.

Apps Not Staying Installed? (CM10)

I'm hugely confused right now. I'm currently running the 8/23 official nightly of CM10 on a clean flash and I recently installed Rom Manager Premium & Poweramp Pro on my phone, but the Rom Manager wouldn't install as I believe Rom Manager comes with CM10? So to get around that, I pushed the apk file to system/app and installed it from there, and did the same for poweramp because it would tell me there was not enough space in my phone to install it, yet I could install any other app. My problem now is that every time I reboot the phone I have to re-install the apps because the data isn't there (in app settings it says 0.0bytes of data), or even while the phone is running the apps crash and somehow delete themselves and I have to re-install them. I don't know what the hell is going on. Anyone care to help?
-Scratch that. I just pushed them to the root of my sdcard and they stuck.
I'm confused as to why that was happening though, when people commonly recommend pushing apps there for easy download?

One thing not to forget is that a lot of apps are not/don't play well with 4.1.

Problem when updating apps

Ok, i will try to explain (english is not my first language)
I have strange problem when updating apps via play store.
When i go to play store and manualy start app update, and when update is finished, the app which i am currently using, like msgs, youtube, facebook if freezes and i have to close it with task manager and run it again.
The bigger problem is when i start update and go to my home screen, immediately after the app is updated, the launcher freezes and i have to restart the phone.
During this i can open notification bar, open settings and stuff but nothing else works.
I don't have many apps, maybe 15 installed, and i am running cleanrom v5.
Is there some log which can help me to identify the problem?
Thanks
UPDATE:
Maybe this can help to someone but the problem was because of restored apps with titanium backup.
I reinstalled rom and then dowloaded all my apps from play store and everything is ok now, no problems.
I am not sure but maybe i created backup of my apps when i was running cm10, so restoring it in sense rom could cause instability.

[Q] Import/Export SMS by messaging app

Hello,
I've got my exported file from HTC Sense 5 [ViperS 5.0.0 rom] messaging app with all sms messages and my question is: is it possible to restore that messages on other android phone?
Unfortunately I haven't got access to Sensation right now...
Every try with apps to restore/backup I've done already ends with failure.

HTC sense default msg app right?? Then Restoration will work only on sense Rom
I think it will work on all version of sense Rom

So is it possible to emulate Sense-based rom on PC and then try to backup it properly?
