Any way to get Emoji on stock ROMs without a 3rd party SMS app? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Running Synergy and love it.. just miss having emoji. Any way to get it back without a 3rd party SMS app? I dont like 3rd party because the darn LED doesn't work right.
Thanks.

sub'd. would love to have this feature, but I'm loving the stock sms

I know Jelly Bean got it. I'm on AOKP right now but I can't seem to get the emoji dictionary to stick :/ I think emojis is a 4.1 thing

nah jellybean has fake emojis. they suck. Wait till CM10 merges the emoji mms apk, it works well on there. ( had it on my gnex )

Well thats your opinion but coming from a long time iOS user they aren't that bad. They're smaller and black and sometimes they're kinda hard to figure out what the emoji is but for the most part its pretty good

Not with the stock Samsung MMS app, but I believe the stock Google MMS app supports emoji, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728308. Personally, I use the blacked out version from page 7 of the same thread, http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29460-inverted-inverted-g-apps-update-7-5-new-playstore-ver-3713-and-mms-app/. It's a bit quirky but certainly better than the Samsung MMS app.

any update on this? I actually really like the Touchwiz mms app haha but when i'm using something like instagram and someone comments with emojis, i can't see them.
EDIT: Found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792745 gonna give it a shot

bumping this since I just found this. anyone tried it?

ICS Stock Messaging App

Is there any way to get the stock ICS messaging app? I'm not the largest fan of several little quirks in the SenseUI one, and am really not a fan of how it looks.
Has anyone else tried this? If so, to what success?

no. i even pulled over both the apk and odex file and it wouldn't show up.
i changed my emoticons in the Sense one and that's good enough for me. for now.

That's disappointing. I really can't stand the messaging UI, and the inability to hide the phone numbers in messages. I realize who I'm talking to, HTC... I don't need you to also list out their 10 digit phone number as well.
It's a shame, as I really love the phone, and there's no one big UI change that I dislike, it's just all these little things, like the changes in the messaging app that are really turning me off.

I'm fine with my keyboard (I use Swype), it's the text messaging app that I just can't stand.

He said keyboard, but it's actual ICS sms apps. And after using some HTC has a much better looking app in my opinion.
Yes I meant SMS not keyboards. But the ics keyboard + ics messaging looks nice. I don't mind sense UI though. Beats touch wiz hands down.

I'm using a holo stock messenging apk. don't remember where I got it from as I pulled it from my sgs2. Only problem is it doesnt send mms messages, only sms.
just drop it into system/app named mms.apk with the right permissions.
worked for me. might take a couple tries to show up.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10741863/Mms.apk
Try this! http://db.tt/suTWB1GG. Its a modded mms.apk from the Gnex with black background / white text. Works perfectly on my HTC One X.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Does anyone by chance have the stock mms.apk holo w/ white background by chance? If it was pulled from the gnex it should work in full with no problems right?
Don't quite like the black, plus I would like picture messages to work as well.
Thank You in advance

I have had gripes with the HTC MMS app, but after using a Galaxy Nexus for a while, it too shows the phone number on the message screen. I also think the HTC UI is actually better and more professional and "clean". But yeah, would be nice to try stock ICS too, but I have never been able to get it working on any ICS device other than the Nexus.
I can confirm that hartfords mms apk looks just like holo w/ black background and picture messages work.
Edit: spoke too soon.... I can receive pics and videos but for some reason can't send them...the search continues.

From what I know, you'd have to upgrade to Go SMS Pro or something like that. Or you could ditch touchwiz and download AOKP or CM10 for built in emoji support.

From my experience even using Cm9/10, I could send emoji's but when someone would send to me (from an iPhone) all I could see was a blank box. Idk if it's because it's from the iPhone to an Android and emoji's are originally iphone so somehow encoded different?
I dont have cm anything unfortunately. . I used to use go sms but it wouldnt send pics half the time. Thanks tho

Maybe CM9 had emoji support, but I know that I can send emojis to my friends and receive them back on CM10 just fine. That's weird it was working for you! Maybe a carrier conflict? I'm on AT&T.

[Q] Looking for custom MMS app

Hey guys I am currently using Clean Rom 3.0 and looking for a better MMS app for my Galaxy S 3. I heard of custom mms apps that have quick reply in them and curious if anyone knows where I can find one. Thanks.

Really?? Do you know how to use the market at all? How to search and download apps? Or did you just want someone to spoonfeed you?
Here comes the airplane, weeeooww(airplane noise), open up! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gosms
That's probably going to be your best free solution. Has quick reply and a ton of theming. Another choice might be handcent, tho I don't remember being impressed with it on my Droid X.
Sorry if I sound like a jerk, I just see a TON of people not use the search option on here at all or even the market.
Brian Gove...wow lol but I understand your energetic response.

You may be unfamiliar with Android but usually there is an app in the Play Store that can do whatever you want whereas in iOS that may not always be the case. Need a new gallery app? Search the Play Store. Need a file manager? Search the Play Store. Need a calendar app? Search the Play Store. You should get my point now.

Handcent is the best hands down IMHO
I would agree with Handcent unless you use group messaging, then your going to want GoSMS. I wish SOMEONE would release a non bloated app with group messaging that does not suck
I guess I should have given more details to my question, yes thanks for the replies and no I dont need to be spoon fed lol I have used all of those sms apps but I was wondering if anyone knew of a a custom mms app like the stock one that had quick reply built in. I remember seeing something about one but dont remember. Thanks anyways guys.

Sorry for earlier, I was at the library dealing with retards. You're looking for a mod then? Like CM10's mod to the messaging?
Yeah that may be the one have you used that Rom yet and if so is it good I am using clean Rom at the moment and it seems good so far? Thanks

CM10 is pretty good, I'd still be running it now but I was having issues with battery life. I'd lose about 15-17% or so overnight with my phone in deep sleep. I'm on AOKP now and stop far it's better on my batt with the majority of the same features, more even. It does have the sms mod too.
Paranoid Android has the same features too, as do the majority of AOSP roms. I personally like PA and Liquid Smooth, and on my phone PA is the more stable of the 2. I for some reason just didn't like CM10, even though that's what PA and Liquid are based off of..... anyway, the jist of it is you ought to just test em all out, cause what's stable for one person may be extremely unstable for another.

You can try a AOSP mms apk that will work fine on a touchwiz setup, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921429 Ive ran it before, works fine.

Turns or I was wrong, AOKP doesn't have the popup, but neither does this one. It did give me an idea to which seemed to work for me. I just extracted the mms.apk file from a CM10 nightly and installed it.
I'll Dropbox it in a minute since Tapatalk doesn't let you attach anything except pictures.
Use a root browser and find system/apps/mms.apk (or secmms.apk if you're on TW) and rename it with a .bak on the end. Put the new file in the same place and make sure it's got the she permissions. Reboot and you should be golden.

Wow thanks so much for the help this is indeed exactly what I was looking for!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I installed it but is keeps saying messaging has stopped will I keep the name Mms or change it to SecMms.apk which is what my original was named also what was the she permissions you were talking about thanks?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
You will re-name it to whatever was originally in that folder. I believe all AOSP ROMs it is called Mms.apk and Touchwiz is SecMms.apk.
Far as the permissions, which it sounds like what might be causing your problem, depending on the root browser you are using(I use the one in ROM Toolbox) the format of the permissions you will want it to have are either "rw-r--r--" or "read" for 'Owner', 'Group' and 'Others' then "write" for 'Owner' only and "execute" for none. Or the final format would be 0644
Those are the three different ways that permissions are displayed.
---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------
I was just thinking, if the whole permissions thing is still confusing after my last post there, I might have thought of something that will do it for you fairly simply.
Replace the apk file as mentioned. Reboot. Then reboot again, into recovery tho. Then go to advanced and click on fix permissions.
A) Not sure 100% if this will work, B) the two reboots may be unnecessary, you may be able to replace and reboot directly into recovery and have it work.
Thanks man ill give it a shot.

Sounds like paranoid should have it.
What ROM are you trying this on? What file browser are you using? And what steps exactly are you taking that's giving you the errors?
I am using cleanrom 3.0 and esfile as my file manager. I first add. Bak to the original SecMms.apk. Apk and then add the file you gave me and renamed it to SecMms.apk and reboot, the permissions are the same as my original message app. Once the phone boots back up it will get to the loading conversations screen then it tells me that is has stopped working or something like that I am lost and thanks for the help.

Messaging apps and HALO

I was wondering if anyone found a good messaging app that worked with Halo. So far hangouts is the only one that works reliably for me. AOSP messaging works until I click a contact thread and it switches into the full app. Textra and 8sms open the full app when I try to open them through halo. Oddly enough other messaging programs like kik work fine. Is this just the state of halo on kitkat roms, or something that app developers need to change? Thanks for any help.

Halo is a recent port to KitKat since pa hasn't implemented their official halo yet. Operability should get better as development continues.

Yea, pretty cool idea. I didn't end up using it very much because I prefer the banner notifications that are an option with the app: LockerPro Lockscreen as they are less intrusive for every day use.
